      @@christinerobinson9372 From wikipedia. O'Riordan is yodeling[48][36] when she does the sharp break[49] from chest register to head register-falsetto in the second syllable of the word Zom-bie.[48] These rapid and repeated changes in pitch in O’Riordan's yodel, paired with the amplified method that she uses to form her vowels and consonants,[48] set her voice in the sean-nós singing style.[50][48][36] A vocal trademark combined with the Gaelic keening,[51] the lilting vocables,[52] and sung in her thick Irish accent.

      What 'war' was ever declared between the UK and Ireland? The 'Troubles' was not a 'war'! It was a vicious terrorist campaign launched by the IRA to try to force Northern Ireland to rejoin the Republic of Ireland! The IRA failed and over 3,500 people were killed as a result. Zombie is an anti IRA / terrorist protest song. The 'Zombies' are all those mindlessly carrying out senseless terrorist murders, such as the one referenced in the song - the IRA's Warrington bombing. Those 'brave' freedom fighters, the IRA, put a bomb in a shopping centre waste bin which exploded killing two innocent young boys who were walking past the bin!! Stop trying to call the terror campaign a 'war'! It was a terrorist campaign and only the Zombies want to keep it going!

    • @amyw6808
      @amyw6808 Рік тому +23

      You’ve misunderstood some of the facts. The boys were unrelated and English. The IRA planted 2 bombs in dustbins in the street in Warrington. The boys were both killed (and 50 ish people injured). The IRA murdered many random people - men, women and children. The attacks were so unpredictable across England and NI, and entirely terrorist in action. As a child, I remember many of the news headlines, such as Warrington and Omagh. I remember being in Waterloo station and having to be evacuated because they found a device. Terrifying.
      The British military acted disgustingly too - Derry is a prime example but there are many others. Neither side were noble, just or fair. The whole thing was futile and just fed derision and division in NI, with children conditioned to hate the British or to hate the Protestants/ Catholics in their own communities - hence the purpose and meaning of the song.

    The story of what inspired this song it's even more impacting. For mothers day two boys went out and bought their mother a card which they decided to mail as a surprise as they did the mailbox exploded from a mail bomb killing the boys. Delores being a mother wrote this song hoping no mother would have to experience this again. It was so impacting that a cease fire was agreed to days after the songs release.

      The bombs were planted in metal rubbish bins, not mail boxes. The first one was set to go off at lunchtime in a bin right outside the front door to Boots the chemists, which sold perfumes, face creams and all that other crap mums like and was absolutely rammed with kids buying Mother's Day presents that day. Across the street was McDonald's too, which was always busy with kids at the weekend, but was especially busy that day. The second bomb was set to go off shortly after the first to catch the fleeing crowds in its blast.
      I'd come out of Boots myself no more than a minute before the bomb planted outside went off, had my back to it and was almost at the top of Bridge Street, so I didn't see that one go off. I did see the crowds of people running down Bridge Street run straight into the path of the second one though. Given the time, day and the location, there is no way on Earth that I'll ever believe kids weren't deliberately targeted that day. You wouldn't have found a higher concentration of kids anywhere in Warrington than you would on Bridge Street when those bombs went off.

    I grew up with this song because my parents love music from the 70s to 90s and this masterpiece was in every Playlist. Even if I wasn't able to remember all the songs I grew up with, this was the one I could never forget. As a child I didn't understand the lyrics because English isn't my native language but I couldn't forget all the emotions it made me feel. Nostalgia, grief, anger... Like a companion that had been there by my side since I was born and stays with me until I pass away.
    Whenever I feel frustrated, sad or helpless and just want to scream but can't, I think of this song and feel comforted. Because someone managed to raise her voice in such a beautiful way.

    Thank you for a beautifully genuine reaction and analysis.
    During a period known as 'the Troubles', an ethnonationalist conflict in Northern Ireland from the 1960s until 1998, more than 3,500 people died and tens of thousands were injured in the more than three decades of the complex and often brutal conflict. The IRA, which was devoted both to removing British forces from Northern Ireland and to unifying Ireland, killed almost 2,000 people during this time. During this time, over 10,000 bomb attacks were perpetrated in Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Great Britain, in an armed conflict fought between the Provisional IRA, the Ulster loyalist paramilitaries, and the British security forces.
    This song was written in response to the death of Johnathan Ball, 3, and Tim Parry, 12, who had been killed in the IRA bombing in Warrington, northwest England, when two devices hidden in litter bins were detonated. Ball died at the scene of the bombing as a result of his shrapnel-inflicted injuries and, five days later, Parry lost his life as a result of head injuries. 56 others were injured, some seriously. Parry died in his father's arms in Liverpool's Walton hospital. The two boys had gone shopping to buy Mother's Day cards on one of the town's busiest shopping streets that day.

Bombings, shootings, a daily list of death in Ireland and spilling over into England on occasions such as the Birmingham pub bombings. You got the theme of the song well.
    I'm reminded of a line from the film blackhawk down. About American involvement in the Somalia troubles when a Somalian local tells an American "you should not have come here. This is civil war. This is OUR war".
