    Being a former Belfast girl this song means a lot to me 1916 was the year of the Rebellion in Ireland, 1969 was when "The Troubles" as we call it really ramped up. My generation (same as Dolores) were all just tired of it, listen to Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2 and one of the lines is "how long? How long must we sing this song?
    Having lived through it, I'm still saddened by what I thought at the time was completely normal eg. Stopping to get searched every time you go into a store, it doesn't matter that you're an eight-year-old

    The song was written as a response to 2 boys (aged 3 & 12) who were killed in the IRA (Irish Republican Army) bombings in Warrington, England. If you'd like to learn more about the Irish Rebellion of 1916, I highly recommend the movies Michael Collins starring Liam Neeson & The Wind That Shakes the Barley starring Cillian Murphy.

    • @brownsey1
      @brownsey1 Рік тому +6

      The Wind That Shakes the Barley is better when it comes to the history and giving a more well rounded view of the period, although they do play on the socialist angle too much given it's based on west Cork, a very rural area. Michael Collins is all over the shop with its history and is a bit over the top if I'm honest in portraying Collins as the one and only man to be able to push the movement forward.

Of course Liam is a great actor too so I’ll probably watch that one too. In America we didn’t learn about this, at least not where I’m from so I’ve read some and have a basic (very) understanding, but I want to learn what exactly has happened and why.

    You talked about Dolores's singing voice. It may well be attributed to her Gaelic roots. It's called 'keening'. It is a wailing sound that was used in Ireland long ago to 'wake' (mourn) the dead. The word comes from the Irish “caoineadh”, pronounced like “queena” and it means crying or a lament. ☘🇮🇪

      That is the most tragic part of what happened to Dolores. If only someone was with her, if only someone realised, if only the staff checked on her. I am certain she never wanted this to happen. So tragic.

      Then when Brexit was going on; there were understandable fears that Brexit could bring about a revival of The Troubles. I listened to a song by American gospel singer Kelly Price called "Tired" following the news last year that a bus in Belfast, Northern Ireland had been hijacked and burned along with the subsequent violence that followed. This violence consisted of teenagers throwing bombs, bricks, stones and bottles at themselves and at police officers sent to stop the violence. The Catholic Unionist population of Northern Ireland was and no doubt still is tired of the violence by the Irish Republican Army, the police officers and the British Army; tired of being treated like scum by the politicians in Belfast and London, tired of the rigged court system siding with the Protestant Loyalists, etc.

    Dolores said she wrote this song after the 1993 IRA bombings in Warrington Town in Cheshire, England. Some 56 people were injured in the blasts, as well as a boy 3, and a boy 12, who both died. The Cranberries were on tour in Liverpool at the time, some 30 km away. Immediately following the bombings there was a huge uprising of anger and revulsion both in England and Ireland. Dolores went on the say that she felt tremendous guilt.

      Even today, that underlying tension is *still* festering.

    At least for me, I feel like knowing the context before hearing a song can make it more powerful when you hear the lyrics. Unlike a movie. Especially when it's something really specific like this song.

    If u guys liked this version I highly recommend the cover by bad wolves the lead singer in this song was supposed to reprise her role for the lead vocals but she was found unalive in her hotel room so Bad Wolves still covered the song and gave and still give all the proceeds from the song to any of her surviving family members

    Ireland was under British rule and there have been many battles for Irish independence. Britain was fighting in the Great War, WW1. The Irish saw this as an opportunity to attack and during Easter week in 1916, there was a rising in Dublin. The rebels were defeated but it kick started Ireland on the road to independence. Independence was granted and Ireland became a free state in 1919. But at the loss of 6 of Ireland's 32 counties to the Crown. The new fight began in Northern Ireland which comprises of the 6 counties, between paramilitary groups, with the IRA (catholic) fighting for a united Ireland and loyalist (protestants) who wanted to remain under British rule. Many terrible terror attacks happened from both sides. The song Zombie is in response to the death of two children in an IRA bombing in the Cheshire town of Warrington in 1993. Thankfully The Troubles have calmed down a bit, but it still rears its ugly head from time to time.

    A couple of bands with similar vibes and unique female vocalists The Cardigans - I'd particularly recommend My Favourite Game but they also collaborated with Tom Jones to do a cover version of Talking Heads Burning The House. The Sundays - Here's Where The Story Ends, Summertime

    You really need to react to Jeff Healey. Blind rock/blues guitarist from Canada who developed his own style to play the guitar. You’ll see. Highly underrated, he and his band rose to fame when they released their debut album in 1988 and performed in the movie Roadhouse alongside Patrick Swayze. Several tours and albums followed until, sadly, Jeff passed away (battling cancer) in 2008. I don’t want to give too many spoilers in advance, just please do treat yourself to something extraordinary, I promise you a jaw-dropping experience. I recommend this video for a first reaction: ua-cam.com/video/gwgOUzodS6E/v-deo.html

    I heard this song and The Cranberries a million times growing up in the 90s and never knew what the song was about until I watched a reaction on it a few years ago. I wish I would have been more open minded when I was younger to explore different music and go see them live when I had the chance!

    The heart of the meaning of the song was,to me, directed to those who agree to fight in a war when the general purpose for it is either unclear to those who are fighting or supporting it being more influenced by what they were told they have to do in support of the war even though it is only in the best interest of those who sold the war to the public. The song writer is bringing the question to the minds of those that fight in and support the war “what’s in your head, zombie?”
    Seeing as how the social toll that war takes on society by killing of people in mass is still not enough to bring the question to the minds of those who continue to support war of “what am I really accomplishing here?”, in spite of seeing what carnage it creates even in their own lives.
    The writer also suggests that the “zombies” further justify the destruction by reasoning in their own minds that “it’s not my family”, not realizing that the mental impact hits them just as hard, since we are all part of the human family, the waves of destruction we participate in are also coming back to ripple into our own “family”.
    Interesting that the singer died so young expectedly too. I’m sure that is just a coincidence though, go back to sleep…….
