    I’m from Northern Ireland and my generation thought the conflict was something our parents and grandparents had to endure, we thought it was behind us.
    When I was 18 my friends were attacked in Belfast and the youngest one died, a few days from 16 years old. The men who stabbed my friends didn’t know them, it was a maniacal hatred that cannot be justified or understood. This song is powerful for the regret those us who grew up surrounded by The Troubles feel, our powerlessness and frustration at it all, and he lives lost.

      It just sort of makes you realize how little he has really dabbled in when it comes to rock music. Putting a timeline to what he enjoys and doesn’t probably isn’t that easy if he really has been coming in completely blind to the rock/metal world. Forming strong opinions on entire generations after listening to a handful of songs is basically impossible. The truth is, in my experience, the 90s were absolutely dominated by rock/alternative music, so much so, I don’t think it will ever happen again. Rap wasn’t really mainstream and respected in the way it was now for much of the 90s and there seems to be so many different unique styles out there now, it’s tough to stamp stuff with a label anymore.
      Sure there were the spice girls, backstreet boys, Ricky Martin and the lot of pop and boy/girl bands, but there were an infinite amount of chart topping rock bands throughout the years. Early 90s with the grunge movement and mid-90s with a little more straight-forward power chord rock songs with the catchy hooks (like bush and foo fighters) and the late 90s with some of the bands like incubus, staind, korn and even the Chili peppers making a huge comeback. And sprinkle in between a whole hell of a ton of random bands like Radiohead, nine inch nails, collective soul, Radiohead, silverchair, deftones, rage, the offspring, tool, Weezer all throughout the decade. Those are just recognizable names, there were so many bands and songs then, you could really go on and on.

    Whilst the Warrington bombing sparked her to write this it was about the troubles in Northern Ireland which had gone on for decades which have since been resolved.

She was due to collaborate with Heavy band Bad Wolves which is why she was in London. Recording was due to start the day she was found dead. The Bad Wolves went ahead recording it as a tribute to her. They donated the Royalties to her three kids it's a powerful song. She will be sadly missed.

    To understand the song you have to understand the fight ..Not just guns and bombs But the struggle of both sides Each has a story. Each has lost someone My Father left N Ireland to start a better life in Canada And sent money home to my Grandmother Whom stopped in a store in England to buy me toys and candies for christmas on the stop over to Canada ..As she left that store 10 mins later it expolded A message from the IRA 6 months later she moved to Canada with us
    I remember dad coming home from a english pub Where someone had heard his accent and said Oh your Irish ? Then went on about the things in Ireland Dad had told the guy : Look I'm sure your a really nice person We can chat about anything you want long as it has nothing to do with Ireland I'm Canadian now I could care less about what go's on in Ireland I had my fill of it
    Dad was happy being in Canada And thrilled to be able to get his mother in Canada 1 year after Grandmother came here Dad passed away from a heart attack in Dec of 84'
    He never got to see the change in Ireland Sadly Dolores O'Riordan also had a home in Canada not far from me she passed away from drowning in 2018
    Her songs help put light on Ireland And made people think Much like the Irish band U2 and "Sunday Bloody Sunday"
