The_Cranberries
Dolores O'Riordan (lead singer) wrote this protest song about the two young victims of an IRA bombing at a shopping Centre in Warrington England in March 1993.
Passionate, then write a master piece. Not this
@@Pasovineyard What do you mean ?
Two bombs!
Thanks for your reaction. Delores O'Riordan from The Cranberries was suppose to reprise her vocals in a cover of this song with Bad Wolves in 2018 but died the day they were supposed to record it together. I would highly recommend that you react to the Bad Wolves "Zombie" cover and tribute to Delores while this one is fresh in your mind- it is a stunning tribute and cover!
Can you give me a url? When I looked it up on YT, I found multiple versions.
@@paulschmehl2124 Not sure but it says official video and has 535 million views (also has golden lady in it's thumbnail picture).
@@acorrado5529 found it.
Well done for a great reaction to a brilliant song about conflict and all it entails! RIP Dolores!
“Music is a reflection upon the place from which it was created” or words to that effect, just earned you a Subscribe, sir.
Yes to all you said about this song. Dolores O’Riordan was an angel, gone too soon.
❤
Thank you for the kind words.
Every time I watch this, my chest gets tight, and my eyes moisten 😪
She wrote this song after the IRA (Irish Republican Army) who would set off bombs everywhere laid bombs in an English shopping centre in Warrington killing two small boy,and maiming others. British soldiers had to be called into Ireland to try to keep the peace between the Catholics and Protestants, because the Catholics wanted Northern Ireland to be completely independent to Britain, but the Protestants did not. As in the song this antagonism had been going on for a very long time. And had started to culminate in the bombings of innocent people. So Delores wrote this song, with the Keening in her voice (the traditional wailing sound at funerals). Although many have covered this song, none bring in the passion felt with this.The boys were Tim Parry and Johnathan Ball, aged three and twelve. 54 people were injured (some badly) this caused widespread public anger. Shortly after the bombings, a group called "Peace '93" was set up in Dublin. The main organiser was Susan McHugh, a Dublin housewife and mother. The IRA were responsible for many bombs laid in a very cowardly manner to kill and maim innocent people of all kinds.
It's since come to light the the British security forces ignored some coded telephoned warnings about when and where bombs would go off and let them happen
This is certainly one of the most powerful songs ever recorded, and the music video elevates it further.
While the subject of the song is specific to the Irish experience, the imagery, pain and overall message are universal and can be adapted to other situations.
Adding the concept of the “zombie” to describe people who could make a difference but don’t just adds another layer.
Absolutely a masterpiece this song reached N01 in 26 countries! Great reaction thanks 🙏
A masterpiece???? If you are passionate you do not produce trash
A performance that deals with a tough issue. A great reaction. 🖖❤
You are a wise man sir,great reaction to a beautifully sad song 🎼🎵🎵🎶🎶❤️🎧
It was written by the lead singer, Dolores O'Riordan, about the young victims of a bombing in Warrington, England, during the Troubles in Northern Ireland.
Don't you love how it's euphemistically called "The Troubles". It's almost like no one got hurt, we just had some troubles.
Thanks one more time! ❤ I love it too!This video is heartbreaking.
Wonderful song.

That’s been really good choise. The Cranberries are one of my favourite band. May i now request a reaction to Steven Wilson - What Life Brings ? please let me know

Free Palestine. I grew up in Uk with three countries always obressed, South Africa (apartheid), Northern Ireland and Palestine. Before social media came along. It was what we were seeing in the news. I get this song because I lived in England during the troubles and enough was enough- what can I say other than history just keeps repeating itself.
React to Angelina Jordan’s new song If I were a boy please❤❤
Another great reaction from you -- as if that wasn't to be expected.... Bottomline, a song about the absolute uselessness of violence. Everything else has already been said by yourself and by those who already commented.
BTW, the trauma you mentioned is even inherited, sometimes not only to the next generation, but to several generations to come... By causing trauma over and over again, we are permanently ruining our own future and of those that come after us. Some glimmers of hope -- going by the name Angelina Jordan, for example -- are working against it, but it's a Sisyphean task.
So sad that Dolores O'Riordan is no longer with us.
All best from Germany
Sadly it is a Sisyphean task. And at my age, it's easy to give up.
Please react to JINJER - Pisces (Live Session)

@@paulschmehl2124 Added it. Thanks. The lead singer Tatiana has a voice you will never forget.
Dan vasc also covered this one‼️😇
I added his cover to my bonus reactions that I'm planning.
This song was written in response to 4 or 5 young Irish boys who were shot and killed by British soldiers during the British occupation of Belfast.
It was a protest song against the IRA bombings…. British soldiers were not randomly shooting young boys. This was against the IRA laying bombs to just Kill innocent victims. Two young boys were killed with other innocent victims of these bombs laid by them IN A SHOPPING CENTRE. They were at this time laying bombs in lots of places. Such a hateful crime, that’s why she wrote it.
It was in response to the bombings by the IRA killing and maiming innocent people.
Well Daniel I think you’ve been given the wrong information, That’s not the meaning at all,it was written about an IRA bombing in Warrington,England that killed two schoolchildren….here’s what Delores said about why she wrote the song. “There were a lot of bombs going off in London and I remember this one time a child was killed when a bomb was put in a rubbish bin -- that's why there's that line in the song, 'A child is slowly taken,'" O'Riordan told Songwriting Magazine. "We were on a tour bus and I was near the location where it happened, so it really struck me hard - I was quite young, but I remember being devastated about the innocent children being pulled into that kind of thing. So I suppose that's why I was saying, 'It's not me' - that even though I'm Irish it wasn't me, I didn't do it. Because being Irish, it was quite hard, especially in the UK when there was so much tension."
She told Vox magazine in 1994 that the song was written in part as a mechanism to grapple with her identity as an Irish citizen that did not support the actions of the IRA.
"The IRA are not me. I'm not the IRA. The Cranberries are not the IRA. My family are not. ... When it says in the song, 'It's not me, it's not my family,' that's what I'm saying. It's not Ireland".
Bollocks mate. It was written in response to the IRA's killing of 2 young innocent boys in Warrington in 1993. Get your facts straight
BTW I lived my entire childhood in Belfast during the Troubles and don't remember being "occupied". You need to find some better history books that reflect the actual truth
