In the ‘90s, Dolores O’Riordan’s life was like a tornado. Cranberries’ debut studio album, “Everybody Else Is Doing It, Why Can’t We?” (1993), launched them to stardom, which meant leaving Ireland and going on tour. While on the road, the band crafted material for their next album, “No Need To Argue” (1994). That’s when O’Riordan came up with the song “Ridiculous Thoughts” (1994), where she questions her own thoughts. She recalled : “I remember feeling a bit like an object at times. The success was so big and there were so many expectations and demands from all sides - from the label and from everybody. I remember feeling under a lot of pressure when I wrote that.” FAME CAN BE A BLESSING AS WELL AS A CURSE‼️ 💙🌪️💜 May you rest in peace, Dolores Mary Eileen O’Riordan (1971 - 2018)… 🌹
Oh this takes me back......25 years. At the time I thought no album would ever beat their first, but looking back, this one was probably their best! God I miss the 90’s.
Esta canción es lo más hermoso que he escuchado,todavía recuerdo que llegaba de la secundaria por la noche escuchando en aquel entonces el cassette No need to argue me habían prestado un amigo y con la luz apagada no puedo explicar aquellas sensaciones simplemente maravilloso
Una noche estaba a punto de dormir cuando escuché la voz de Dolores a todo volumen desde el otro lado de la calle; esa canción era Ode to my family, y nunca la olvidé. A los pocos meses de eso entré a la prepa y una compañera que era fan me prestó el CD, que grabé en un cassette. No paraba de escucharlo.
I'm a metalhead 100%. My favorite bands are Kreator and Death (R.I.P Chuck), but I will always be in love with Dolores O'Riordan. Her unmistakable voice and barefoot performances are awesome. The Cranberries rock!
Who ever coined the phrase "poetry in motion" most of had Dolores in mind. All that makeup, the black hair, and that red rubber dress! Only Dolores could make that work and work masterfully. One in a billion!
Descansa en Paz Dolores! nos dejaste muy temprano, que mal! pero tu voz seguirá en nuestros corazones y como la única que le diste una voz a Elijah Wood antes de los que los anillos lo hicieran.
Twister, oh, does anyone see through you? You're a twister, oh, an animal But you're so happy, how? I didn't go along with You're so happy how? Na-na-na-na But you're gonna have to hold on You're gonna have to hold on You're gonna have to hold on Hold on, hold on Or we're gonna have to move on We're gonna have to move on Or we're gonna have to move on Move on, move on I feel alright And I cried so hard the Ridiculous thoughts, a-ha how I feel alright, alright, alright, alright Twister, oh, I shouldn't have trusted in you Twister, oh, a-na-na-na It's not gonna happen now You're not gonna make fun of me Happen now, a-na-na-na But you're gonna have to hold on You're gonna have to hold on You're gonna have to hold on Hold on, hold on Or we're gonna have to move on We're gonna have to move on Or we're gonna have to move on Move on, move on I feel alright And I cried so hard the Ridiculous thoughts, a-ha how I feel alright, alright, alright, alright A-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha You should have lied But I cried so hard the Ridiculous thoughts, a-ha how We should have lied, a lied, a lied, a lied But you're gonna have to hold on You're gonna have to hold on You're gonna have to hold on You're gonna have to hold on You're gonna have to hold on You're gonna have to hold on You're gonna have to hold on You're gonna have to hold on You're gonna have to hold on You're gonna have to hold on Hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on Well, you're gonna have to hold on You're gonna have to hold on, to me
I remember the sheer hate the U.K music press had for The Cranberries - NME, Melody Maker in particular consistently ragged on - brazen coded anti-irish sentiments that made my stomach turn and most of all, every interview with Dolores tried to use anorexia as a slur and determined to question her sanity. Thankfully the band had gotten so big by then that they didn't reply on those rags to sell tickets or records.
Y nunca alcancé a verla ....tristeza!!!!😓 este es otro de mis favoritos ...q difícil no amar sus letras, interpretación e intensidad de sus letras y la música.Rip Dolores O.
Eliza wood acting perfect and the lyrics perfect.. its about betray she felt being with a horrible man .. but this song also portrays mental health dilemma we can see through also eliza wood character but my all time fav cranberries song.. not only its cool but the lyrics I related with many levels
Twister, oh does anyone see through you?

Dunno why the band hated this version of the video......................I think it's very well-directed and just as good as the other one! Actually, this caused them to have a falling out with Samuel Bayer (the director) and they never worked together again--and he directed their videos for Ode To My Family, I Can't Be With You and Zombie--they seemed content with the outcome of those! Have no idea what went wrong here, but Bayer did fine in my book!
is this the european version of the video? i remember the US version being cross-cut with concert footage where O'Riordan is wearing a bizarre American Flag onesie jumpsuit...you're gonna have to hold on! to meeeeeeeeeeeeee ;)
On one of DVDs, Dolores explains that this is actually a version that they scrapped because they hated the end result and so, needing visuals and no time/money for another full reshoot, the live concert footage was the easiest solution. This version had never aired anywhere and was only seen for the first time on an official Cranberries DVD whose name I forget.

One of the most underrated bands of all time.
R.I.P Dolores
Gone but NEVER forgotten💓
So true
Little Elijah Wood was a great addition to a great song video.
Love him!
Difficult choice but I think for me this is the best Cranberries track. Her voice & vocal style are just so special.
Yes x but daffodil lament for me
Rest in heavenly peace Delores forever xxxx
I always have problems choosing either Ridiculous Thought or Animal Instinct... luckily I can choose both. 😂.
Oh this takes me back......25 years. At the time I thought no album would ever beat their first, but looking back, this one was probably their best! God I miss the 90’s.

Another perfect pop-rock song. Elegant, intense and emotional

The best singer EVER //
15/01/18 You are in the HEAVEN now. - Dolores O'riordan.
Damn she can rock that tight red dress and that short black hair, red lipstick, that voice! I'm still so jealous of her. Beautiful in every way.
RIP I will never forget your voice
RIP dolores, siempre estarás en nuestros corazones
Rest In Peace ....you will always be great and your music will live on
RIP my childhood, every time I listen to her voice ...
I remember the sheer hate the U.K music press had for The Cranberries - NME, Melody Maker in particular consistently ragged on - brazen coded anti-irish sentiments that made my stomach turn and most of all, every interview with Dolores tried to use anorexia as a slur and determined to question her sanity.

miss n yes, that's Elijah Wood, coz he's really young that time.
You mean the good child
Yep!

It is Elijah Wood! He was like 13-14 years old here.
Que nostalgia..amo❤️
Dunno why the band hated this version of the video......................I think it's very well-directed and just as good as the other one!

Have no idea what went wrong here, but Bayer did fine in my book!
I remember listening to this in college in 1997.

Somebody knows the place where Elijah Wood is on the video?
Elijah is the boy with white shirt trying to hear with the headphones. ;)

Her music meant so much to me her passing away saddens me very deep rest in peace dolores!
