I love the way this song was put together with the attention to detail because it is about the war and the death of these two young boys. It has that teasing see-saw way that children would sing during the part where she says " It's in your head" and the drums at the end sound like a few shots from a gun.

[@goldboy150]

Ireland used to be part of the United Kingdom. The Irish fought for many a decade for independence from Britain. Between 1916 & 1921, Ireland (which was majority catholic) achieved independence. However, 6 of the 32 counties - all in the north east - were majority Protestant. So in 1921 Ireland was partitioned. The northern, Protestant majority part became Northern Ireland and remained a part of the United Kingdom, the rest became independent Ireland. Ever since then, there has been a movement (sometimes violent) amongst Irish Catholics to unite the whole of Ireland into one country. Equally, there has been a movement (sometimes violent) amongst northern Irish Protestants to maintain separation from Ireland and union with Britain. From the late 60s until 1998 there was a prolonged conflict within Northern Ireland (often spilling over into both Ireland and Britain) between Catholics and Protestants. This conflict - known as “The Troubles” - saw Irish Republican paramilitaries (most notably the IRA) fighting Protestant Unionist/Loyalist paramilitaries (notably the UVF, UDA, LVF etc etc). This prolonged guerrilla warfare most often made use of terrorist tactics of bombings and assassinations targeting both fighters and civilians from the other community (also targeting the Northern Irish Police and British Army in the IRA’s case). The conflict ended officially with the Good Friday Accords in 1998 wherein all but a very small minority of paramilitary groups de-militarised and a system of power sharing was installed where both protestants and Catholics ran the government of Northern Ireland. There are still many after effects of the conflict being felt today and the underlying issue remains. People still want a United Ireland while others want union with Britain. They’re just not fighting about it at the moment.

Delores was brave enough to tell them to stick it and released it, just praying it might make a difference and for peace to prevail in N.I. This whole band are amazing but Delores is truly an Angel.

[@gmf121266]

The Cranberries are an Irish group. Delores O Rhiordan, the lead singer, grew up in Limerick, Southern Ireland during the time of the troubles in the North of Ireland. This song was written in response to an IRA bombing in mainland UK which killed a number of ppl including two children. It is basically a cry for peace and an end to the madness of conflict that was taking so many lives. A lot of them being innocent lives. 1916 refers to the year when there was a rebellion in Ireland against British rule that started the move for Irish independence. In the 1920s the south gained independence but in the North of the country the majority wanted to remain under British governance. In the late 1960s the catholic minority in Northern Ireland felt dispossessed and unrepresented by the mainly protestant government in the North. They protested and fighting broke out after peaceful protests resulted in bloodshed. Its a very long and painful story that lasted for over 25 years. I am English but I have tried to understand the conflict from both sides. I have many Irish friends. They are lovely people and I dearly care for them.

[@kennethoriordan7838]

understand it from both sides? there's only one side, the side that was invaded and partitioned by an aggressive and ruthless coloniser, that did untold damage and destruction to many sovereign nations around the world 🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪

[@stevenmcanales3813]

Definitely need to see the music video. The Wolf Tones did a tribute to Dolores, that is also worth it. Song itself is a tribute to a couple of kids who died in a bombing at the end of a 30 year civil war Northern Ireland, between Catholics and Protestants. Bombings were so frequent, it simply became a way of life for an entire generation, hence Zombie.

[@melanielucas4155]

The sound she makes with her voice is a talent. Where it sounds like it is like a mini yodel / crack. This band is from Ireland, and that vocal is called keening. Keening is a traditional form of vocal lament for the dead, in the Irish and Celtic tradition

[@tinanickerson1006]

This song came out in 1993 and in 1995 the OKC bombing happened. I was in college in Oklahoma at that time and for me this song helped to filter my feelings and confusion about what had happened. It helped as well when 9/11 happened 6 yrs later. Its all about the years of war and violence in Ireland but the theme can transcend to other experiences where vioence and war are concerned. R.I.P Delores..she was the lead singer. Also, check out the remake of this song by the band Bad Wolves...Delores was suppossed to perform on the remake with them but unfortunately she passed away before this could be done.

Zombie" is a protest song by Irish alternative rock band the Cranberries, written in memory of the two young victims who were killed in the 1993 Warrington bombings, Johnathan Ball and Tim Parry. I belive it also speaks to the effects of living in a constant state of civil war or war in general and how the conflict takes over a person's personality and thus becoming a zombie.

[@kennethslayor8177]

This is a song about the effects of the war for a united and independent Ireland. The reference to 1916 is about that fight, which for some still continues today. Ireland has been invaded many times over the millennia, with the last major invasion being in 1068 by the Normans as they were solidifying their conquest of the British isles.

I accidentally saw The Cranberries at First Ave. in Minneapolis. 😅 I drove from the family farm to the UofM to hang with a friend. His friend called and needed a ride from First Ave. We go inside to locate said friend. I hear the song "Linger" playing. Curious, I walk over to where I could see the stage, I asked a guy, "Who's the band doing a cover of Linger?" Guy goes, "Wait for it." Opening lyrics to Zombie starts, and my jaw fell open when it dawned on me what venue I was at and who was on stage. 🤯 Took another 20 years before I went to my 1st official concert. 🤣(Lady Gaga)

[@paulprendergast3184]

RIP Dolores. The song is taking a swipe at the troubles between the warring factions in Ireland. A Zombie idea is disproven point of view that refuses to die no matter all the evidence against it. A classic example is the Zombie economic theory that lowering taxes on corporations and the rich will grow the economy because they are the job creators. In this case, it's the opposing views of those who favor Irish independence (mostly Catholics) and those who want to remain British (mostly Protestants). 1916 refers to the Irish Rebellion in Dublin. There have been countless deaths of innocents due to bombings and shootings committed by both sides of this "Zombie" argument.

BTW, this song reminds me of my 12 year old daughter singing along loudly over headphones in her room.

1916 - Begining of the Irish rebellion against the English occupation of Northern Ireland. The factions of British- Protestants and original Irish Catholics went on and on and became known as "The Troubles", with paramilitary and government violence, many many bombings throughout the 60s 70s 80s. the animosity and hatred was handed down each generation and of course children were caught in the crossfire. The song makes reference to one particular event of a bomb that killed two young children at play. And for those like Dolores Riordan and the Zombies it still went on and on with the bombs and their guns.

Back in the early 90's there was a bad conflict between the northern Ireland and British... that's. what this song is based on... A lot of bombs involved... and i'm sure you know The Cranberries are from Ireland

Dolores O'Riordan was an Irish musician, singer, and songwriter... R.I.P.

[@jaimetodd1864]

you will get even more from it from the visuals created in the actual video. It is amazing.

[@surcentro2134]

Ireland is where they they talking about. You have a lovely singing voice.

The band grew up in northern Ireland in the the troubles ( which means war to most of the rest of the world) but lreland , what a place for music and talent , 1916 the first world war 🤗

The official music video is a must watch to connect the song and the visual to see the totality of its meaning.

Bad Wolves were gonna do a this song with this singer Delores O'Readon but she passed away right before they were gonna record in 2018. Bad Wolves weren't gonna do it without her but they went ahead and did it and all the proceeds went to her children and the song was frickin amazing. You should react to it. If you watch the original video you will see Bad Wolves paid homepage to her

To appreciate the song more, you should read about “the troubles” in Ireland.

The zombie in this context is the casus belli, I believe. There was little reason to keep up the killing except for people on both sides believing that there was reason to keep it up, and in this particular instance 2 children lost their lives because of it. Peace was finally brokered a few years after this song was dropped, but unfortunately tensions are rising again and there have been deaths since. It's all a bit tragic.

There was war in Ireland for greater part of century started in 1916 but people that lived there grew up in it like she did. Also Bono. We U2 SUNDAY BLOODY SUNDAY written about the same thing

[@barbarabisson2551]

This song connoted post-traumatic syndrome, to me...soldiers who return home from war but maintain it "in their head"...hearing bombs go off symbolized shell-shock symptoms, too. (but this was my thought before reading the comments about the Irish war.)

[@thomaswhite7783]

They are singing about the Troubles in Ireland that had been going on since Ireland declared independence from England in 1916 and the civil war that followed; escalated in the 1960's and didn't stop until 1990's.

The title Zombie points to the fact that when a terrorist bomb explodes, those that manage to survive are walking around like Zombies amongst the carnage, lost confused and with no idea , as to what has happened to them
