Hear what she does with her voice? The Irish call it keening. And it was a sound they made to mourn the dead at funerals.
I did not know that!
I didn't know she was Irish until she made that sound because I was able to hear the accent then. I came to the comments just to confirm lol Didn't know it was specifically for funerals, but they have such a distinct sound when they sing.
I didn't know that,thank you
Wow I did not know that! I love that. Thank you x
I never knew that. I’m a huge Cranberries fan and have been since their first album. When Dolores died, my heart broke.
“This song is our cry against man’s inhumanity to man. And worst still, to child.” -Dolores O’Riordan on Zombie.
and idiots voted for biden the war criminal democrat just the same as obama
And they played this shit on the radio in the '90s like it was a random bop. ROFL
@notimportant ill do what i like thanks
RIP to one of the best female vocalists in music history 🙏💔😢
The inhumanity is still alive in Israel
, bombing kids and women. Free Palestine
The black and white footage of the soldiers, kids jumping along rooftops, and the footage of the murals in Belfast, Northern Ireland is all real footage. The soldiers patrolling aren't actors, neither are the children playing in the rubble.
I visited Belfast a few years back, and the murals are still there. Even though The Troubles are long over, it still felt like an eerily unsafe place to be, like violence could start up again at any time.
Those were my streets
Damn I remember on the TV seeing children from one side being escorted to school by police, being shouted abuse and stones thrown by the other side. Sick.
@@gogyoo I remember that too, I was young and I wasn't sure. Ardoyne, wasn't it? Catholic girls school
@@jculver1674 my dad worked in the North on and off during the Troubles. He always had to be careful as our accent is as Southern as you can get, instantly recognisable as Irish. He's worked in many different volatile countries and it was one of the few places he ever felt afraid. He told me a story of going into a bar to get a drink, the barman told him he needed to leave immediately for his own safety. He was followed back to the place he was staying in by a group of guys
I went to Northern Ireland in the 90’s I remember people just looking at me this black chick on the streets of Belfast. People would come up to say hello by the end of my stay there I had so much invites for a cup of tea it was unbelievable I went to a pub and literally everyone stoped and were staring 10 minutes in everyone wanted to buy me a drink and we were laughing and dancing the night away. Seriously I have never met people so warm and generous than the Irish. Yet there were so many families at that time that didn’t have a lot beautiful people.
Agree. They’ve been through a lot. Definitely shows in their sense of humor.
Best people ever.
In the 80s my cousin got married.
The entire village put up lodging for all the guests.
I was lucky to stay on a farm with my grandma and grandad
The best breakfasts ever.
Full english my arse, the irish know how to do it. Fried wheaton.
Probably a bit random but growing up in Belfast I was 14 (in the 90s) years old when I met the first black person who wasn't wearing a British uniform and pointing a rifle at me. Strange now to think back to it.
I love that!
You were met with curiosity and then loved because the Irish people relate to the hate and discrimination black people have felt throughout history. We are a much loved nation now ? but we were the peasants and the vermin who were hated by most when we immigrated to the new world. Up until the 60s you would see in UK hotels saying No Irish No Blacks No Dogs... One Love :)
It's the children who always pay the price for adult cruelty and stupidity.
Children and women.
@@scorpiothegreat1So men don't suffer, young men of fighting age dying have had it bad for thousands of years. You never heard of the war saying Old men lie, while young men die.
there is no such thing as adults, there is only maturity and childishness.
Adult is a word made up meaning nothing, cannot be calculated or be seen.
Maturity you can measure by decisions and actions.
Adult is a empty vessel , just like most have become a vessel for the powers to be to control and use
@@lok6314 And your point is......?
@@DEPARTMENTOFREDUNDANCYDEPT that stupidity is not a attribute of so called adults or children which are age related which is just a number and superficial to say the least, stupidity in essence comes from a state of being.
Maturity if we as society would take that serious and practice maturity, we would erase a lot of stupidity.
But since we assume adults is equal responsibility, we have 0 mechanism to counter stupidity..we only have mechanism to counter the consequences of stupidity and not to prevent stupidity because we see age as a sign of maturity and not the state of being as a sign of maturity.
With other words, maturity is not age related, and kids can be more mature then 'adults' and adults can be more mature then 'kids'
Therefore maturity transcends our physicality..
Why am i even bothering explaining this shit to people on youtube :/
Anyway have a nice day, enjoy life as much you can byebye
From Ireland, I thank you for your reaction to Dolores O'Riordan and The Cranberries. She expressed so much pain felt by ordinary people during what we call "The Troubles", so much hate, violence, terror, subjugation. RIP Dolores O'Riordan. Ar dheis De go raibh a anam .
Daughter of an Irish Father (Catholic) and Scottish Mum (Presbyterian), born in England. It was truly a horrific time. Best wishes to you and yours.
@@carabiner7999 And the same to you. Keep the peace.
@@marieogara1036 Cheers!
@Just Animals Doing Cute things The song's about an IRA bomb that killed two children in England, so I'm not too sure what you're supporting!?
And you never "battled" the English, it was the British!
@@DaChaGee try growing up in northern england when the IRA where bombing constantly. killing innocent english
I’m Irish (have grown up and lived in Ireland my whole life) and this song and video makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand up now. However, when the song was originally released in 1993, I was a teenager and I felt nothing because I grew up during the troubles and I’d become completely desensitised to the violence and death. It’s scary to think I felt like that. Thank god for the (mostly) peaceful times we currently live through.
I also grew up during a time of extreme violence in my country and I feel you, war not only destroys but dehumanizes the people that surrounds it. Now I live in the US I moved here a while back finished High School and joined the Army did a couple of deployments, on my first one we crossed an area that was assaulted not long before, there were bodies still laying around I didn't give it a second thought and just kept walking I looked back and the rest of my team were just looking at me like are you insane, my Sgt. asked me if it didn't shock me to see those pp dead and my answer was if you are not expecting to see anyone in those conditions Sgt. you are in the wrong field. I'm older now that happened 30 yrs. ago I still keep in touch with some of my brothers in arms and they never fail to remind me of that first day... (not all wounds are visible)
I’m wondering how long that statement will be true… many see tyranny rising. I don’t fear for myself because I’m old but I fear for my grandchildren.
Go read about the IRA…lol they were fighting tyranny or what they perceived as tyranny. Depending what side you fell on.
@@marklowe5939 tyranny? You bell
"when the song was originally released in 1993, I was a teenager and I felt nothing because I grew up during the troubles and I’d become completely desensitised to the violence and death" That's what the lyrics "when the violence causes silence we must be mistaken" were about.
So tragic how Delores left this world. Such a beautiful soul. Such a beautiful woman. Such a beautiful voice
What?
@@krissyybrooklyn79 I like turtles
@@krissyybrooklyn79 Dolores O’Riordan passed away suddenly in 2018. Accidental drowning. The world is a poorer place without her.
@@Munchkin.Of.Pern09 accidental drowning alone in her hotel room... 🤨
Watch the Bad Wolves version of Zombie...a tribute to her. It's sadly amazing 😢
You got her message. Neither side is right; after a certain point the violence is just the violence. She was specifically writing about the bombing in 93 but wow does it ever apply to the world now. Her voice is haunting. Love your reviews
Thank you so much
Kristine you put it so simply and totally right...lovely comment 💕
It’s actually an embarrassing message looking at it now.
How could the Irish people in Ireland be as bad as the British colonists and their army. The IRA were needed to protect our people following the British pogroms of Irish areas of Belfast in August 1969 and thankfully the IRA were there to protect us when the British with the help of their police force, tried to kill us and burn us out of our homes again in 1970.
The IRA made mistakes, of course, but they are Irish, they fought in Ireland against foreign British people trying to wipe us out in our own country. And it’s embarrassing to have The Cranberries writing a protest song about the IRA, from the safety of Limerick which the IRA had freed from the British in the 1920s, when not a single British massacre on our people had them writing a tune! Two British kids in Warrington that they read about in the newspaper had them out with pen and paper to write a song...embarrassing, when the Brits murdering a little girl like Majella O’Hare hadn’t made them write a song, or tiny Frank Rowntree, or Damien Walsh - a teenage boy chased down a lane by loyalists and British soldiers, and murdered. Didn’t even make the front pages of the newspaper his mother said,
@@cianoc8211 Ironic indeed
Twas on a dreary New Year's Eve when the shades of night fell down
A lorry load of volunteers approached a border town
There were men from Dublin and from Cork, Fermanagh and Tyrone
But the leader was a Limerick lad, Sean South of Garryowen.
@@macChelsea1984 Seán South was also a member of a fascist group called Ailtirí na hAiséirge back in the 1950s, a group that wanted to ethnically cleanse Ireland of all non-Catholics, he was a brownshirt Nazi-wannabe.
And to think, Delores was told early on that she would never make it in America because she sounded "too Irish".
I love her music and always have. Besides she was cute
I've literally wanted to marry an Irish woman since the late 90s cause I fell in love with Delores. She was so beautiful.
They lied! We love her!! She is my go to in 2020!!
Anyone who said that must not have been aware of the fact that America has a large community of people of Irish heritage, and that her music would speak to those people.
It's very different than anything America had heard before
The way she sings is called "Keening" . Quite specifically and traditionally singing to the dead. When you take that into account... this song means 10x more.
Keening combined with a technique named Sunder is also great, it can even destroy Lorkhan's heart.
That is something I never knew. Thank you for the clarification. It does weigh much heavier. As a 45 year old Irish American , I appreciate the knowledge.
Or a specific type of "wailing " -- breathing in and out ...
She was a master of it.
You know any other bands that use it?
The whole record is haunting and beautiful.
Drummer here - I just have to give some props here to Fergal Lawler, their drummer. God... how many hours do you have?
Fergal knew that he wasn't the star of the show, and his playing was so humble and understated. That said - he FUCKING DESTROYS. On every track. But he destroys in such a subtle way that maybe most non-drummers won't notice. And that's OK.
But Whenever you listen to The Cranberries (whoever you are reading this), maybe just pay a bit of extra attention to the drums.
Dolores drowned in a bathtub, and it's so criminally unfair.
It's difficult for me to listen to them without sobbing.
Thank you for the video.
RIP Delorous
Absolutely.... the drummer just kicks a$$
And what makes dolores death even worse is she was due to colab on bad wolfs remake of zombie the day she died.
Thanks for the info
R.I.P Delores, such a beautiful soul.
One of the best songs ever written. RIP
Hear hear to that 👏👏
I still haven’t heard a cause of death have you?
@@williamswiniuch7527 drowning due to alcohol official cause.
Amanda Thompson yikes but thanks
Dolores
R.I.P.
RIP Dolores O'Riordan. We miss your great voice!
Im a die hard punkrocker but this is a masterpiece and i could fill a damn planet with my tears listening to this song. Rip Dolo your voice stucked in my head since 10 years😔
You've seen the bad wolves version who were set to duet with Dolores?
Me too and this song is punk as fuck in my opinion.
Pink is a perspective not a genre my friend . A lot of underground hip hop that predates punk is PUNK AS HELL for example
On 2X speed it sounds very punk
@@mookiestewart3776Actually, Pink is a singer.
Dolores wrote this during the Troubles in Belfast and inspired by the general horribleness of it all, and in particular the kids that died in the Warrington bomb cos by coincidence she was near when that happened. The word "Zombie" refers to how some of the terrorists are so oblivious to the hurt they cause and the "1916" reference was an Irish thing but terrorists were just as bad on both sides xx
what do you mean "1916 was an Irish thing" ? It refers to the Easter Rising which involved both Irish Republicans and the British Army nearly 500
people died in six days, many of them civilians caught in the crossfire
This song was the response to a remotely detonated IRA bomb which killed two small children.
@Mark Horton they weren't remotely detonated but yeah they killed 2 kids. A terrible tragedy nobody should be proud of and Dolores was on tour at the time so it inspired her
It only took her a few hours to write it
Dolores RIP
I cried when i heard she had passed away.
@@toomanyjstoomanyrs1705 same here my all time favorite song
She’s also referring to 1916, The Easter Uprising, lots of people are still fighting this war in their heads.
Both sides have committed atrocities against innocent people, as all wars do. Loving your empathy with real passionate songs.
You know that is so interesting. I grew up when this song came out. I've played foggy dew hundreds of times and know the whole history behind it and never picked that bit up. I guess it was a 90's song I just knew by heart before I was old enough to put that together
@@braydenfarrell1177 but the men and women in the Provisionals in many ways saw them selves as the sons and daughters of Colleens and de Valera in moch the same way as the Orange lodges see them selves as having a direct linage with the the defemders of Derey back in 1689
both sides may have committed atrocities, but the Brits caused the problem in the first place by trying to conquer and enslave everybody else. If they had just let go of Northern Ireland the troubles would have never happened. The Brits are clearly at fault, as they are in so many other cases around the world
No matter how many times I’ve watched the music video, the point where the Angel Kids stop staring at heaven and start crying and writhing in pain makes me cry every single time. It’s the most intense imagery in a music video ever recorded in my opinion. A beautiful piece all around
This is a fantastic song! The Bad Wolves and Delores O’Reardon were set to reprise this song the day she died. Bad Wolves did the song and donated all of the proceeds to her children. You should see them do it too!!!
YES!!!!
If you like her voice , check out “Linger” by the cranberries
or 'ode to family'
Dreams is another good song
Pamela Scott 👌👊
Why are yall requesting the hits 🤦🏻♂️
Linger is good, but I love Dreams.
"Zombie" is a protest song by Irish alternative rock band the Cranberries, written about the 1993 IRA bombing in Warrington, and in memory of two young victims, Johnathan Ball and Tim Parry.
I copied it from from Google, I'd rather not mince the words myself.. RIP to their souls
RIP to the singer as well.
RIP dear Dolores.
Ironically, the British Army and the Loyalists individually murdered more people than the IRA and the other Republican paramilitaries.
@@jorgf288 It's not a bloody competition!
BOTH SIDES were as bad as each other.
It’s been going on for a long time, 1916. Basically Eire wanted Northern Ireland back under their rule, but there’s a lot more to it Catholic against Protestant. Many innocent people died, prisoners were not treated right. You can read about it on line, the IRA were unforgiving and the royalists were vengeful, it didn’t matter who what how you feel or old....
I CANNOT believe that you've never heard this song that is now 28 years old! As a Genexer, The Cranberries were one of THE BEST Alternative bands EVER! In January 2018, Dolores O'Riordan who was from Ireland, died of an accidental bathtub drowning. The band Bad Wolves(I strongly recommend listening, went to the top of the charts to #1 that year) did a cover of this song and the proceeds went back home to her 5 children.
I don't believe anyone has not heard this song either. It is one of the most played, powerful and political songs in the whole World. It is about politics, the political system, about change that is very much NEEDED and it is about normal people struggling in the face of adopted capitalism who should not be struggling. It is about flicking a finger to GREED and it is a message to THE PEOPLE to flick a middle finger to capitalists, imperialists and any other 'IST' that wants to ruin 'OUR' lives in the quest for money.
I'm surprised too considering there was that one summer a few years ago where they literally, constantly played this song on the radio 😅
@@lalalalisa41 Yeah, that was in 2018 when Delores died.
@@alanoc2425 This song literally has nothing to do with capitalism.
Dolores O'Riordan Died way to soon. She had so much more to offer this world. R.I.P. Dolores.
I was crying with you.....all the innocent kids that have died and are still dying in wars......
The war in Northern Ireland was a terrible one. Even more shocking as it was a western European country it was happening in over 30 years of the Irish fighting the British which is just another branch in conflict that's lasted over 800 years between those 2 countries. Things seem to be okay there now both Ireland and the UK are extremely wealthy countries now with no war so hopefully it continues. The Irish are great people as the UK are
I'd like to think that Dolores would be happy to know that you felt the message she was trying to put out ❤❤❤
This song broke so many barriers and perceptions, and put a harrowing chill down everyone's spine. Dolores was a passionate and strong woman with a voice that grabs hold of your soul and this proves that. R.I.P Dolores. I was only 16 when this happened and while i'm not Irish but Scottish, its still frightning that i had friends who fought there at that time. The pain of any child's death is something no parent will ever recover from. I live and work in the local area of the Dunblane masacre, an event to this day i will never forget. Violence of this nature proves only one thing. There are no winners. Period. Only hurt and pain and broken hearts.
This was about the trouble in Northern Ireland.
I served four tours in Northern Ireland a total of five years. The most beautiful country in the world and The most amazing people I've ever met.
But, every time I heat this song it makes even me shed a tear.
Great reaction, thank you.
Well said, brother!
When were you here in Belfast Coldstreamer? You were probably on foot patrol in our street 😁
"it's not my family...." for the world not taking their plight seriously.
Man's inhumanity to man is always hard to watch, unless your a ZOMBIE.
RIP Delores. The meaning of this song is so valuable, she was truly a beautiful person inside and out.
Going through chemo this song gained a whole new meaning for me, getting chemo and radiation feels like a war in your body...live this song sooo relevant to the whole world today even.
Kudos for exploring different music and finding out what's going on in the world.
Well said. Quarter of a century later these lyrics somehow mean so much more in the states than when they came at us then. Im a fan of yours. Thank you for the reactions miss
I second that 👍🏻
Shane Crawford it’s sad cuz I never would have thought I would hear an American say that :( ( I’m Canadian)
You can hear the hurt in her voice. In my opinion she is personifying the hurt of the of the people of Northern Ireland. I encourage people to do a bit of reading on it. Decades of conflict, thousands dead and even more maimed and wounded. Generations growing up surrounded by terrorism, bombings, shootings and just tragedy. I can hear it in her voice. I pray for a lasting peace in Northern Ireland.
The Irish people have suffered a serious prolonged attack form all sides for decades truly horrific and now the vile scum have chosen to destroy there country with fake violent people from around the world and actually teach the Irish kids they have white privileged and should be ashamed 😢breaks my fucking heart
It’s an extremely powerful and emotional song indeed. Her voice magnifies and gives such life and emotion to the lyrics, as well.
It has a specific meaning, but it can be interpreted differently by others, because the point is universal. Violence and war takes lives, destroys families and is senseless.
her voice is too great for a human body to contain, will be missed dearly :(
To me it's about people mindlessly holding on to old hatreds. Zombies.
it is more broadly about "The Troubles" rather than just that single bombing. But the bombing was the event that prompted them to create it.
That is it exactly. Well said. I always found "The Troubles" to be a completely inadequate description of the relationship between Ireland and Britian.
@@davenunyabusiness4893 The troubles had nothing to do with Eire, only Ulster. The IRA did not, in any way, represent any of the people in Ulster. The troubles ended when they were brought into politics and allowed to stand in elections. To do so was a big step for The government but when they could only get 2% of the vote they had to accept that they did not have any support.
Watch the documentary on it and the story behind the song.
Nice analogy!
It's even harder when you know the real story. So sad.
I was just as emotional as yourself and I've listened to this song so many times. I'm emotional everytime I listen to this. It's certainly a powerhouse song.
My friend was a young soldier in the troubles and he was on patrol, the kids were throwing stones and bricks at them. One of the mothers came to the door and shouted "Jonny come in for your tea" "you can throw stones at the soldiers later". It was so normalised it was a terrible time. I was in school in England and I was with my mum in Birmingham the day after the Pub Bombings. I will never forget the smell. This was an amazing song written after two children were killed in warrington bomb. My school in Coventry had another school built in the grounds and one day they came in and took all the Catholic Kids across the field to the new school and we did not understand why our friends left. The only time we saw them after that was when the Mahoney sisters came over to do Irish Dancing at the Christmas show. We did not know the difference between us until later. My Brother inlay and sister were in the RAF stationed in NI and lived in Downpatrick. They had no problems with the IRA at all until they were ordered to drive busses for the Army and then the mood changed and they had to be moved into barracks. Let's hope our useless governments can stop using NI as a political tool and that goes for the EU and the USA who all feed off the upset. But these are real peoples lives.
U2 and Bono got a lot of spotlight when the Good Friday Agreement was formed, effectively ending the Irish Civil War aka The Troubles. But to me, Zombie will always be the defining protest song connected to that war.
Stiff little fingers "tin soldier"
@Kris Moodley They should unite. All fours countries should go their separate ways. The unison has caused more problems. We would be better friends with a separation.
@Kris Moodley Well I am from England and have never seen any benefits. We have to cover Wales and Scotland having free prescriptions and Scotland not having to pay for University placements, whilst we have to pay for it all, amongst other things. The separation would save us a lot of money.
@@suejaneuk1681 Amen to that, Cost me a fortune for my daughters university fees
@@chrishowarth6623 It is not a fair system. I am on several medications due to nearly dying from pulmonary embolism in 2016 and to keep myself alive, I have to pay for all of these drugs. The pre paid prescription helps. As for Universities, I wonder, with Scotland wanting independence, who will subsidise their free education?
"Zombie" is a protest song by Irish alternative rock[1] band the Cranberries, written about the 1993 IRA bombing in Warrington,[5] and in memory of two young victims, Johnathan Ball and Tim Parry. It was released in September 1994 as the lead single from their second studio album, No Need to Argue, two weeks ahead of the album's release.
The song was written by the band's lead singer Dolores O'Riordan and reached No. 1 on the charts of Australia, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany and Iceland, as well as on the US Billboard Modern Rock Tracks chart. It won the "Best Song" award at the 1995 MTV Europe Music Awards.[6] The song was voted by Triple J listeners as No. 1 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 1994 chart.[7][8]
In 2017, the song was released as an acoustic, stripped-down version on the band's Something Else album.[9] In April 2020 it became the first song by an Irish band to surpass one billion views on UA-cam.[10][11] As of April 2020, Zombie has been streamed 472 million times on Spotify and has sold 778,942 copies in United Kingdom.[12]

This is fine. It's educating people. I personally hate when people mindlessly copy and paste song lyrics. WHY????
My first trip over to Northern Ireland 1987 from the safety of my Santa Barbara home (to meet my husband’s family) was shocking to see the war torn bombed buildings, cars, homes, as children chased after soldiers with rocks, bricks, and glass bottles, while hurling insults, deep hatred, and resentment for their presence in the country. My family and I moved here to Northern Ireland twenty-three years ago right after the signing of the Good Friday Agreement 1998. As difficult as it is to watch the music video while listening to the song and Dolores’s hauntingly beautiful voice it’s a very important lesson for us all to remember wartime so that it is never repeated! Northern Ireland (especially Belfast) has repaired itself, children play in parks rather than bombed out buildings, and people are living in peace without the need of a military presence as armed soldiers comb the neighborhoods and city streets. Sadly there are still “peace walls” separating neighborhoods, political murals painted over and on top of others everywhere in this tiny country, but those are the scars of a thirty year war that few in America or elsewhere, knew or ever thought much about. It took many baby steps and a few falls to move a mountain to finally reach a peaceful conclusion…scars and all. It has to be said that the Irish countryside is stunning and green all year round. ☘️
If you’re interested Google The Troubles for old news reels, footage, and any information regarding Northern Ireland.
This is a song written in the midst of a civil war. The lyrics are both poetic and literal.
RIP Dolores O'Riordan. We miss you.
Its interesting the reaction people have to this song the first time they hear it. I feel like it changes dramatically depending on the person's age/maturity level. I first heard it about 20 years ago when I was around 16. I was introduced to the Cranberries by my AV teacher in 10th grade. First song I ever heard was "Ode to My Family" and soon other Cranberries songs followed, including Zombie. I think the first thing that caught my attention was Dolores O'Riordan's voice, I always thought it was hypnotizing, just pulls you in.
RIP Delores... tragedies at times make the most beautiful songs sadly. Thanks. Enjoy. Grab your tissues.
Facts
This is what real empathy looks like. She felt every note of that beautiful song.
Don't lose this gift. A lot become numb to it over the years. Being emotional is human and beautiful.
The message is God's children killing each other for nothing. Thank you for your genuine reaction and your empathy I'll see you in the Kingdom.
The child angels screaming gets me every time. And I remember when this video came out. Powerful.
RIP Delores O’Riordan
She was singing about the violence in Ireland. She had the power to carry it off. Thanks for sharing your reaction.
@Jacob3605 M Not just the north. Bombs went in the Republic as well. And England while we're mentioning it.
@@ansionnachbeagrioga5260 mostly the North. You know exactly what he meant.
This band made such a huge impact. The lyrics of every song are special and memorable.
She's one of a kind. A great loss to music industry. A real deal.
Irish alternative rock protest song about the IRA bombing in Warrington that killed two children. It could be said that it is timeless that innocent people are always killed or hurt by mindless violence. Tragically the lead singer Delores O' Riordan died January 18, 2018. The greatest singer to come out of Limerick was only 46.
Uh, Dolores' last name was O'Riordan.
@@michaellovely6601 You are right Michael. I have corrected my blunder. Thank you.
@@thomassanfrancisco5850 You're welcome! I feel so sorry for the families of Tim Parry and Jonathan Ball because Tim was going to buy some Everton football shorts whereas Johnathan was in town with his babysitter to purchase a Mother's Day card. I can't even imagine the amount of Survivor's Guilt Jonathan's babysitter must feel on a constant basis knowing that she survived but he didn't.
The look on your face jay said it all girl. it got you and has it got many world wide viewers she my be gone but (NEVER) will she be forgotten for here love and fight for her home land i love this band
My father served as part of the British Military forces in Ireland during those times. He saw some of the most horrific things happening to people that it eventually caused him to leave under medical grounds. My father didn't speak much of those days because of the trauma he suffered mentally but he did say that there was no right in that whole situation at all. The whole thing was completely fucked up. He refused to serve any longer and paid the price for it. He didn't die in combat unlike some of his friends but it killed him slowly. Alcoholism took his life and he died only a few years ago. I began military training when I was young (16-17) and quickly realised that this life is not for me.
The Cranberries are an amazing band and the song resonates deep no matter which side of the line your heritage may lie. Loss is loss. Death is death. May we never have to suffer these torments ever again in our existence. The sad thing is many times war is simply power and greed. Those who fall are rarely those responsible.
Live and let live.
This song is timeless.
Delores was taken too soon.
Can't help but cry whenever I hear this even after all these years. Freedom Forever❤
Made me cry when I was 18, 47 now and can just about see my screen through the tears! Dolores and the Cranberries did more to ease tensions and unite our two beautiful countries and people than poloticians managed in 800 years!
Politics divides - music unites 🏴❤️🩹🇮🇪
And our children are still dying and moms hearts breaking by guns and violence 😢
its to do with the "troubles" in Northern Ireland. A small population with terrorist groups ingrained in both sides of a divided community who remain secret, so that one wrong word within the perception of the wrong person, or to to be relayed to the wrong person, can get you killed without your knowing from where it came, or what caused it... the conflict resulted in most victims being innocent people who represent a section of either community (not any terrorist group-but civilians who descend from a particular religious background) who would be targeted and killed in order to "keep score" between the different terror groups. People who became aware of crimes afraid to speak up for fear of being targeted also. People forced to segregate in order to make the division stronger and the control of the terror group stronger. it was a war that was not so visible on the day to day life, but one more of constant fear, with violent acts carried out randomly with no way to predict where would be a safe haven. Such that even years after the threat is over, whether you had been personally effected or not, the fear is still with you... in your head.
Rest In Peace. Dolores O'Riordan. This song will never be forgotten, neither will she.
"Zombie" is a protest song by Irish alternative rock[6] band the Cranberries, written in memory of the two young victims who were killed in the 1993 Warrington bombings, Johnathan Ball and Tim Parry. It was released in September 1994 as the lead single from their second studio album, No Need to Argue, two weeks ahead of the album's release. Music critics have long recognized "Zombie" by the Cranberries as "a masterpiece of alternative rock".
This song still hits me hard everytime I hear it and Ive been a fan of theirs for a long long long time ever since I was a kid.
You can hear that Irish call of hers they call keening that is used to mourn at a funeral.
R.I.P. This Irish singing Angel is in Heaven now.
I saw the Cranberries several times around the period they were just getting huge, early 90s. enjoyed them, Delores was genuinely different and interesting.
The cranberries were such a great band. Dolores voice was captivating!
Oh Delores .... you live on ... with your unforgettable voice ...
The history of Ireland and war with itself is so very long, and then there's the History of Ireland and it's wars with Britain and Scotland. Oh how we Islanders hate ourselves :(
To be fair, everyone hates the English, and with good reason.
@@Yourantsally what reasons?
@@isaacreynolds3118 uhhhhhh. Lots and lots of imperialism?
@@Paul-at-Plym yeah no. You're a boot licker. England has never paid for its crimes of extracting wealth from most of the goddamn world. The nation as a whole is appreciably wealthier because of its imperial past, and nations like India, Ireland, and China are poorer then they would've been if not for the British empire
It *is* a hard watch, but the song is anthemic, and it really is perfect for getting out anger, pain, aggression, or even just energy. Their music, and especially Dolores’ voice, are perfect examples of Celtic influences in world music. So emotional and beautiful, expressive and passionate. Thanks for your genuine, thoughtful reaction and questions. New sub!
Tim Parry was 12 when he was fatally injured in Warrington on the eve of Mother's Day in 1993.
His mother Wendy Parry said that losing her son had left her family living a "completely different life".
She and husband, Colin, have channelled their grief into pushing for peace.
Tim had gone into the centre of his hometown to buy a pair of Everton football shorts on 20 March 1993 but he never returned home.
At least she and her husband are trying to turn their heartache into purpose. When I read that Tim Parry was going to buy some Everton football shorts whereas Johnathan Ball- who was three years old when he was killed in the Warrington bombing- was in town with his babysitter to purchase a Mother's Day card I felt so sorry for their families. I also can't imagine the amount of Survivor's Guilt that Jonathan's babysitter must feel on a constant basis; knowing that she survived but he didn't must be very hard on her.
I love your emotion and concern. I was almost outa high school when this came out. It was one of the biggest songs of my generation. I'm 46 now and it still makes me cry, for decades.
Much love from Tampa
The Troubles is a term used to describe a period of conflict in Northern Ireland that lasted about 30 years, from the late 1960s until the Good Friday Agreement in 1998 and she was singing about all the unnecessary deaths as a result of this conflict including a 3 year old who was blown up in a busy shopping area and then a 12 year old a week later there were many more though beaten and killed.
The main participants in the Troubles were republican paramilitaries such as the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) and the Irish National Liberation Army (INLA); loyalist paramilitaries such as the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) and Ulster Defense Association (UDA); British state security forces such as the British
when someone feels what really is happing ... best reaction!!
The US one step away.
What do you mean?
The reality she is singing about was so much worse...
Definitely check out Dreams, When You're Gone, and Ode To My Family. Another 3 amazing hits by The Cranberries
I've heard this song for so many years, and I still cry so hard every time.
The troubles in Ireland. So much pride and so much suffering. So many different places now.
You could see the raw emotion coming from you as you watched. This song is incredibly painful, beautiful and haunting. Thank you for reacting.
I love the guitar solo part. There is no better non-vocal expression of pain in any other song.
Those haunting instrumentals really gets me emotional & the visuals are very deep
That and Dolores' keening style vocals.
Beautiful song with a deep message!!
Delores ( R.I.P ) spent much of her life crusading for the rights and lives of all children.......this was her plea for peace during the "Troubles" in Northern Ireland and especially for the lives of children who found themselves caught in the violence........I believe the 'yodel' is traditional Irish "keening".......a form of pain, crying, mourning , etc. set to music
Her music helped me through some of the hardest times I had to endure when I was in my teens in the 90’s. I remember buying this cd No Need To Argue and the song book. I practiced and practiced on my guitar everyday to her songs. I even wrote the lyrics of Zombie on my Jansport backpack in 1995. I was in love with her voice and literally collapsed to the floor when I heard she had passed away. My hero was gone
ahh the good old days of living in northern england when every time yuou went out you wondered if you would be blown up or not. childhood memories
I was very fortunate to visit Derry with my wife in 2010. Seeing the murals of The Bogside Artists really made you feel all the awful things that happened. Great reaction and words. RIP Dolores O"Riordan.
One particularly scary wall mural shown in the music video for "Zombie" depicted two soldiers in the Ulster Volunteer Force dressed in uniform and wearing ski masks to conceal their identities. These UVF members are depicted as pointing guns at the passersby and on one side of the mural is the message "Prepared for peace" and the message "Ready for war" on the other side of the mural.
@@michaellovely6601 that particular mural is one of the UVF, who were on the opposite side of the IRA
Always get goosebumps whenever I hear this song
It's the raw pain and pure desperation that makeess this song ,I know about it it makes me feel emotional, to put all that emotion in a song is amazing
hey lady,,, appreciate your reaction..
On a slightly related theme, try "Sunday, Bloody Sunday" by U2, also about the unrest in Ireland.
But U2 are shite.
sobbyhasselhoff ur not wrong
@@sobbyhasselhoff U2 was a great band - despite the hair -and has some tasty bones leftover.
@@chaosandcreation4118 no they weren't.
sobbyhasselhoff They sang more Rock classics In their first decade than most bands in their whole career ! Taste is one thing denial is another.
This song was written because a 3 yr old and 12yr old boy died when a bomb went of in Warrington England . The bomb was planted in a rubbish bin where they were playing by the IRA , the cranberries wrote it in retaliation and anger they wanted to send a message that enough was enough
Just found this channel today, already watch 4 videos, I love her reactions and comments.
Thank you so much
I adore your emotions during these. Shows you feel the music and are an empath.
Your heartfelt reaction was everything, Jayy.
This is one of the hardest songs ever to listen to when you know the history behind it.
My mum grew up in N.Ireland during the troubles and some of the stories she tells me about situations she found herself in just makes me want to cry. She found her self caught up in a riot and stood with her back to the wall with her hands up to show she wasn't involved and saw people killing each other, and that's one of the many stories she has. She is the bravest person I know.
Every time I hear that song I get shivers down my spine!
R.I.P. DELORES💔
Please react to the cover by “bad wolves”, Delores (cranberries lead singer) was to reprise her vocals on the track but sadly passed away.
She passed The day before she was supposed to fly out to them. And they went on with the cover donating all proceeds to her children
My grandad lost his leg during the "Troubles", innocent man, may good Lord grant all innocent victims Kingdom of Heaven. RIP Dolores O' Riordan.
I love the emotion this beautiful young woman feels. Exactly why the cranberries made this joint
