🎵 Cranberries "ODE TO MY FAMILY" Reaction

[@dom19945]

Honestly, ever dude has a crush on Dolores because of he voice. Literal siren.

[@kyleechristina1231]

She wrote this song being on the road all the time with The Cranberries and being homesick, she wrote it about her mom and dad, when her dad passed away there were many concerts she did where this song wasn’t included because it was too painful for her to sing. When she could finally sing it again, she would have the audience sing the part about her father and she would cry. I miss Dolores every single day. There will never be anyone like her

[@philmercer2609]

"She can sing" what a comment that made me smile. She was and will always be an absolute legend and icon.

She really does seem to be one of the few musicians that he'll 'ride along with' without over analyzing it. And as a result, his conclusions end up being really insightful. And if he really likes unusual phrasing, he should do more Irish artists, or someone like more Joni Mitchell.

[@douglasfrantzen3011]

Limerick has a great accent and Dolores let her accent through in her singing. Used to enjoy our friends from Limerick saying "fillim" for film and "millick" for milk, turning them into two syllable words.

This ode to family is so sweet, just Irish really

[@Thehollowleg]

Brad falling for that voice hard.

[@Michael-on4ti]

So should any guy

[@krw73]

I've always thought when she said being "out there", meant being rebellious... And she's saying that even during that time, her parents were still supportive and there for her. Thus the ode to my family.

[@88feji]

Yup, I think I read somewhere that she left home as an act of rebelliance after an argument ... her mom embraced her at that moment when she was leaving home. But the song is more to do with her wondering how her love ones think of her becoming a singer. In it, she wonders if they they keep track of her in the news and media (does anyone care), she wonders if they like her performing on stage (do you like me standing there) ... and she's comforted to know that her dad likes her performance (my father he liked me) ... she surprised about her gaining success so quickly (it wasn't my design, people think something better than I am) and she tells her boyfriend (probably ex-bf) if he knows that she still misses him, she wish he would come to find her but he never did ...

[@golobulusjenkins754]

"Everyone else is doing it so why cant we?" is my favorite Cranberries album. Love her voice on the songs "Pretty" and "Waltzing Back"

An ode is a form of lyric poetry - expressing emotion - and it's usually addressed to someone or something, or it represents the poet's musings on that person; poem praising or glorifying an event or individual.

[@holdyourfire74]

What I love about her voice is she doesn't mask her accent. So many foreign (to the USA) singers who sing in English mask their accent to be more mainstream. Not this woman. Also she puts a lot breathy sounds in her words. I think that's the texture you're referring to. Such a beautiful voice. Before her death I have to admit I was only briefly into their music during the early 90's (this song, Zombie, Linger, etc.) Since her passing I have since checked out more of their stuff and it's all good stuff! RIP
