You should checkout bad wolves rendition of this song

[@rickygreider4281]

This song means more now than it did in..1991.🇺🇸

[@Cath1027]

Dolores was the lead singer. She was amazing. She and Sinéad O Connor best Irish singers and best at Irish keening. This song is about the troubles in Northern Ireland. You should listen to some of her other songs. RIP DOLORES Ireland 🇮🇪 misses you. Great reaction

[@wm.davidmeade5593]

Just wanted too convey there are people all over the world whom have the same feelings.

[@Cath1027]

@@wm.davidmeade5593 that’s beautiful to hear. She was one of the best. My next favourite is “ Linger “

[@kaychristensen4394]

Irish Americans miss her too. That voice! She was born to perform this song.

[@kaychristensen4394]

@Norman Smithers Norman, to say I'm not a Miley fan is putting it mildly, but she also was born to sing "Zombie". A perfect performance!

[@dpf96]

Haven't heard Miley Cyrus' version but absolutely love Bad Wolves version as did Delores and would have performed with them if she hadn't passed away

[@mattshaw6180]

Dolores O'Riordan was the singer and she's "keening", a type of singing used in Irish culture for mourning at funerals. They were in the middle of the violence in Ireland and this is about terrorist bombing that killed 2 kids. They wanted you to feel it too.

[@christinerobinson9372]

This is not keening. It is the Irish yodel, distinctive to the Irish. Keening is a wailing, closer to the howling of a wolf. It is an expression of grief that can not be contained.

[@asaventurasderobson]

I feel it everytime. RIP Dolores.

[@mikee7406]

Yes 2 children killed in Warrington as a result of an IRA bomb 1 of them being from my school.

[@edgervais9377]

Thanks for sharing the knowledge. Her voice is definitely a special kind of beautiful.

[@domhnallkelly5084]

Terrorist is a very loose term. No matter what loss of life is always bad but mistakes where made regardless. I wouldn't call them Terrorists fighting for their own freedom though

[@kittenklub1964]

These are the scenes of my youth - I was born, grew up and still live in N. Ireland. The army was everywhere, machine guns were a non-remarkable thing cos they were an every day sight. Paramilitary Terrorists and armed forces meant Shootings, Bombs/bomb scares were so common that they became 'normal'.....Police & Army checkpoints were every few miles, so you would have to produce photo ID....most times with a machine gun inches away from your face. Our so-called 'peace' is still very fragile and the fall out from Brexit is making tensions rise again😞 Our Elections are tomorrow for our 'devolved' government, but our so-called politicians are part of the problem - they're a disgrace! All we want is PEACE☮ *R.I.P. Dolores* for giving us this song💔....it is part of our blood stained history and 'The Troubles'. It's message is overwhelming powerful.

[@Cath1027]

Hopefully there’s is complete peace one day. I live in Dublin I have friends who had to walk to work everyday with this happening. We in the 26 counties here it on the news and we’re horrified but when you talk to people who have lived through it, there are no words.

[@ruthparker9756]

Prayers for all of you 💕

[@BM-hb2mr]

Good luck my friend but as we here in the US know that elections aren't because of us it's for the elites to pick. Kinda like we are right now. This geriatric fool that is in now is gonna get us into number 3 and gonna starve us I the fall. That's why most of us don't depend on these yahoos, we grow our own and take care of our own. Peace to ya my friend. I blame my forefathers for leaving Ireland and put me here to deal with these idiots they call politicians. Corruption is everywhere for sure, no matter what country we are in I'm afraid

My paternal grandmother was of the Wallace clan. I loathe the crown

[@jennifertierney9076]

Love to u 💜💜

[@sikksotoo]

Over a billion views can't be wrong! Such a powerful song. The terrorist bombing mentioned in the song is part of a larger conflict in Ireland known as The Troubles, and going back further with the Easter Rising (the 1916 line). Though UK and Ireland's issues go back much further than that. RIP Dolores. The Bad Wolves tribute (it was supposed to be a collab before she died unexpectedly) is amazing as well.

[@sikksotoo]

Just to add, they're an amazing band with many more songs worth listening to. This is more aggressive than their typical song.

[@jeffsimmons4822]

The terrorist bombings where terrible and took many innocent lives. That being said, is Ireland now free from a foreign, oppressive, nation?

[@georgianajones2346]

[@Arael_Angie]

The tribute was lovely x

[@cheiftain732]

Its called the troubles because if the brits admit its war we get POW status also its embarrasing for them . ITS A WAR

[@jamesdavies3470]

Having heard her sing in a stadium - she turned it in to a cathedral with that voice. Unforgettable. RIP Dolores.

[@lfcgero35]

This song is an anti war song specifically about the troubles in Northern Ireland. Written in memory of two young boys blown up by an ira bomb in Warrington England. RIP Dolores sorely missed.

[@thatsthat2612]

it means a lot to me. I lost an uncle, an aunty and 2 baby cousins age 2 and 4 to an ira bomb in Lancashire.they said they thought only british soldiers were on board, like that was supposed to make it ok

What's "still occuring in Ireland"?

[@someoneyoudontknow7705]

I love The Cranberries! I was 11 when this song came out. Didn’t have the cassette tape and we didn’t have Google back then so I didn’t have all the lyrics in front of me to read (lol). And I was 11 so I didn’t sit there and listen to it from beginning to end just to listen to the lyrics but I heard the majority of them and saw the video. Just googled it now to see what it was actually about (says it was written by the band's lead singer Dolores O'Riordan in memory of Johnathan Ball and Tim Parry, who were killed in the 1993 Warrington bombings). Love her voice and how much she cares! Such a strong and powerful voice/song!

[@RobinSueWho]

I woukd listen to the Cranberries non stop back in 95. My oldest is 31 and she sent me a video of her 8 yr old daughter singing this song because she remembers how much the Cranberries were played in the house growing up.

[@billbryant9995]

I can't tell you how much I miss her, it was such a big loss when she died. In fact, the only other musician that I can compare the loss to was when Stevie Ray Vaughan died. I just fell in love with her voice. They have a lot of great songs, but my favorite from her is "When You're Gone." Thanks for listening to them!

[@lanceroberthough1275]

I am never really a doting fan. There have been 2 exceptions. Dolores was/is one of them. I prayed for her through every difficulty and joy that I learned of and my heart broke when she passed. We love you!

[@dimitriodee]

Who’s the other ?

[@letsgobrandon8930]

Delores is the best female vocal ever.

[@gemsun6512]

Lead singer Delores passed years ago! RIP Delores! Great band, great song , great reaction!!! ✌🏼❤️

[@ruthparker9756]

This song still gives me goosebumps. I'm sure I had the exact same look on my face when Dolores really gets going.

[@tiachantelou119]

Dolores was a gift and taken too soon from this world. Thank you for keeping her voice heard. ❤️

[@frankmcguire6162]

Raised in a household that followed any news about the troubles, I was quite familiar with what she spoke of. I remember hearing this song the first time at a friends house and couldn’t believe her voice, I fell in love immediately (I was 14, sue me). So when I heard about her tragic accident, it crushed me, I was completely devastated! The world has one less shining star amongst us now….. R.I.P. Dolores O'Riordan

[@happymethehappyone8300]

The Cranberries "Salvation"...Nuff Said.

[@heatherriley79]

Yes!! That head nod and smile got me. I'm so here for your reactions to my favorite tunes. To hear it all again with fresh ears would be magical. Binge watching & subscribing. 💖

[@G02372]

I grew up in London in an Irish family. I went on to mentor a young English guy that had served in Northern Ireland. Being raised in England with an Irish family conflicted me when I was young but gave me an ability to put myself in other people’s shoes. Glad things have improved in recent years. I have known and loved people from both countries.

Her voice is out of this world

[@thebaps1143]

Stunning isn’t she? You can really hear the Irish influence come through. And I wish I could rock that pixie cut like her. 🤘🤘

[@alanbeaumont4848]

This is possibly the finest rock lament concerning politics; in this case 'The Troubles' (British understatement there) of Northern Ireland. Neither Protestant nor Catholic sides' extremists at the time were prepared to break the cycle of retaliation over the latest atrocity and neither seemed to much care if the other side's children were victims. The reference to 1916 is when Irish Nationalists took arms in support of Irish self rule. As this was in the middle of WWI the response by the British Army was absurdly savage and helped bring about Irish Independence, but divided the country with the North remaining in the UK. Violence took hold there again in 1969. When this came out I mostly heard the anger in the song, but now as an aging man I hear the despair. The song is an awesome reminder that, where there is a choice, talking is always preferable to violence.

[@someoneyoudontknow7705]

Thank you for your comment and for explaining everything! Same, I hear the despair now as well 😢

[@devkanyarck]

I am in India.. and was about 16 when I saw this song in the 1990s… could never forget it and I was so stunned by this song.. Though it’s about IRA bombings and Ireland’s struggles, India also had a lot of trouble at that time and we used to have a lot of terror attacks and bombings and thousands dying, so that feeling of grief and insecurity resonated a lot with me too. I think the golden painted mother and the angels may be based on Pieta by Michelangelo.

[@newgrl]

So, this is a protest song, written by the amazing lead singer of The Cranberries, Dolores O'Riordan, who sadly passed away in 2018. The interesting sounding oh-oh, eh-eh, etc in this song is a form of "Keening" which is used to this day at Irish funerals to lament the dead. This song was written in response to two boys, aged 3 and 12, being killed by an Irish Republican Army (IRA) bombing in Warrington, England. Northern Ireland was in a sort of irregular civil war from 1916 until the signing of the Good Friday Peace treaty in 1998. It was defined by the IRA, who wanted to merge Northern Ireland with Ireland, and the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) who were loyal to the crown in the United Kingdom. If you want to know more, a good place to start is the Wiki page on "The Troubles"

[@julesmo323]

Rest my beautiful angel.

[@jeanstrickland2445]

I can tell she blew you away 🤯

[@amvrirowles]

Dolores Mary Eileen O'Riordan 6 September 1971 - she died 15 January 2018) was an Irish musician, singer and songwriter. She was best known as the lead vocalist and lyricist for the alternative rock band the Cranberries.The song is about 2 incidends 1916: Ireland. The total 429 persons killed, 116 were Military personnel, 3 were policemen and 310 were civilians. There were 38 children - aged 16 and under - killed. 1993 Zombie" is a protest song by Irish alternative rock band the Cranberries, written by the band's lead singer Dolores O'Riordan in memory of Johnathan Ball and Tim Parry, who were killed in the 1993 Warrington bombings. The horrific part of it was the 2 boys been killed - were a 3 and 12 year old. Jonathan Ball, three, and Tim Parry, 12, died and 54 others were hurt when two bombs hidden in litter bins went off in Bridge Street on 20 March 1993. People easy to talk revenge and enter a war, but the realities are horrific.

[@echopryme]

I've seen grown men from Ireland break into tears to this song. This is MUCH DEEPER than just a song to an entire nation under tyranny! 💯 This is about 106 years of revolt and retaliation. And Delores isn't even with us anymore. R.I.P. 😪 🇮🇪

[@crlosguzman]

God given talent DOLORES. Great reaction

[@johnraygun9868]

first comment! much love brother! She sadly passed away a couple years ago, Badwolves did a cover/dedication of this which is amazing as well, you would like it trust me!

[@fridaylong2812]

Delores O'Riordan. Her style of singing in much of the song is called Irish yodeling. The children in the gold paint represent the many children that died during the British occupation of Ireland.

[@fridaylong2812]

Linger.

[@wendymacraild5204]

No, it's not really. It's called "keening". It's a specific & special way they sing while mourning & is used during funerals usually. Look it up.

[@joshbryant4629]

A little-known badass band called The Bad Wolves did a cover of this song absolutely nailed it. After you watch this video you need to go watch that video of bad wolves cover and it'll set you back in your seat and blow your mind.

[@amyaeschbach3581]

Beacon theater NYC1993. I have never ever been blown away by a band and Dolores‘s voice as I was at this incredible concert that I will never forget. She was such a gift to music into this world. Always loved the cranberries. Listen to dreams and listen to linger and more. If you can watch one of her live performances where she takes the songs and her voice even further. Thank you so much for this reaction it was well worth seeing and seeing your face when she finally broke into the course with her voice. It is such a joy to see someone good to hear and see her and that unexpected reaction✌️❤️

[@sourgir-wh6xd]

RIP Delores💕💔

[@soultrampamplification8425]

Delores and Linda Ronstadt are the two greatest female singers since the beginning of rock. You should listen to "Dreams" and/or "Ode to my Family".

Great song. It's important to understand where the song came from. It's meaning from a historical context. Delores would rather you understand the song than just praise it for it's artistic value.

[@williamarmstrong9008]

Past members: Mike Hogan, Noel Hogan, … Origin: Limerick, Ireland Also known as: The Cranberry Saw Us, (1989-1990) The Cranberries were an Irish rock band formed in Limerick, Ireland. Originally named the Cranberry Saw Us, the band were formed in 1989 by lead singer Niall Quinn, guitarist Noel Hogan, bassist Mike Hogan, and drummer Fergal Lawler. Quinn was replaced as lead singer by Dolores O'Riordan in 1990, and they changed their name to the Cranberries.

[@deanchapman7632]

That's right bro! Your eyes an mouth wide open in amazement made my day! 🤙 And I can also tell you sense a deeper meaning...

[@scottsnyder934]

Delores O’Riordan is the singer. The song and video is about the civil unrest and decades long struggle regarding the re-unification of Belfast, and Northern Ireland and Ireland, and the thousands of deaths that occurred. Long complicated reasons, but largely attributable to British colonization and because Catholics and Protestants didn’t like each other.

It's AMAZE!!!

[@lisaheathcock7924]

YESSSS!!! Amazing cover!!! 🔥🥰🤘

[@mmartinezPhysics]

Agreed. The small, yet significant, switch/update from "guns" to "drones" is well-thought. Perhaps the acoustic version is a good suggestion, since it allows you to focus on the lyrics. (I tend to favor acoustic versions, since it's easier to carry an acoustic guitar around and play whenever you feel like it.)

[@doloresvancartier8894]

So jealous you got to experience it for the first time ever, she was a master at what she did- as were her band mates. She wrote it specifically based on the reigning troubles in Ireland at the time, and a terrorist incident that happened in Warrington, England where two children were killed in a bombing. :)

You should really react to The Bad Wolves' version of this song. Dolores was supposed to sing on the cover with them and was found dead that very morning. The Bad Wolves were literally living out of a car at the time but donated all the proceeds of the song to Dolores's children! They did an amazing respectful job on the song, trust me, it took me a very Ling time to even give it a chance despite hearing very good things. In my heart, only Dolores could sing thus song.
