Her vocalized 'noises' in this is called Keening in Ireland (5:42 ) . It's a type of mourning song. It very closely resembles someone sobbing over a loved ones passing. She does it justice in this song. I had to tell my own mother my brother passed away. The sound of a mother crying out for her child who is gone is haunting, and I feel those two kids who motivated this song (died in a random bombing on mothers day while buying her a card) were given their proper. Enjoyed the reaction. Lead singer is Dolores "Riordan. RIP.

I had no idea that she was on her way to do a cover when she passed away. When I first(and only once) heard that cover 2yrs ago I automatically thought, "ok, how can they possibly do this song justice and make it feel right?" I was skeptical but the emotion came through. I'll have to give them more credit now that I know she was on board with the idea and that it wasn't a simple money grab or something like that by Bad Wolves.

The lead singer is in irish-born lady that passed away in 2017 from an alcohol-related drowning. Her name was Dolores O'Riordan'. The song she wrote zombie was a result of two young men being killed or boys in 1993 in Northern Ireland caused by the troubles and the IRA. Dolores's voice control at the end of her notes as she rolls off and up as throwing your voice kind of is called keening. It is a practice used in singing at Irish funerals.. a war protest song leaning heavily towards Los pain and becoming numb to the bombs and the guns and child abductions because they needed fighters they were forced. Really difficult time in Ireland during the 20th century from 1916 Forward. Study History!

Grew up listening to them when they finally broke into the US music stream being back then that alone was a feat for most bands overseas. That song was written based off Ireland's at that time current events that was going on that most of the world wasn't completely aware of until they released the song and video. Delores did get a bunch flak from Ireland's government because they didn't want the world to know what was really going on there. They were part of the exposure type bands that came to the music scene back in the 80s-90s. Another one of those bands was Gorky Park. Their official video for My Generation shows what some of the things Russian citizens were dealing with up until the fall of the USSR and the Berlin wall fell. For us kids it was eye opening to know and see first hand just how other countries treated their citizens via music videos instead of just reading it in history books or national geographic movies shown in school.

This song was written in response to the senseless killings of 2 young boys (Jonathan Ball 3 y/o and Tim Parry 12 y/o) in Warrington Ireland in1993. The incidents occurred when 2 separate bombs, planted in trash cans by the IRA (The Irish Republican Army) went off while the children were innocently playing in the streets. This was a par for the course back then in Northern Ireland in which a "war" had been going on for decades hence "Since 1916". This was commonly called "The Troubles" and was horrifying yet it sort of became common-place for the soldiers with their "Tanks and their Bombs and their guns" to be heavily present throughout the streets... The reason she says "Bombs" twice in the chorus is in reference to those 2 two boys who were killed.... That's a VERY brief synopses of the song, to the best of my ability. I just felt these were important pieces of history to share..... FACT: her vocals are called "Keening". It's an old Irish mourning ritual performed at funerals that mimics the mournful wails and cries of Mothers and loved ones....Peace :)

They decided to disband in 2019 because Delores was the sound of the band and without her voice the band could never be the same. They were considered the best alternative rock band of the 90s and won numerous awards. Love watching your reactions. Love the energy you two bring to your videos. Keep rocking those tunes 🤘🏻

I believe she died in the bathroom in the hotel she was staying at

This song always gives me the chills. Her voice, those words. One of the best bands of the 90's, so sad Dolores passed away. A truly unique sound.

THIS SONG IS ABOUT THE SOLDIERS WALKING AROUND LIKE IF THEY'RE LIFELESS... A.K.A ZOMBIES... WHAT'S IN THEIR HEAD?? FEEL ME??

[@glennrowe2961]

And of course about the IRA terrorists blowing up Innocent children in Warrington.

[@billrand4138]

errr no

[@glennrowe2961]

@@billrand4138 It’s about all the violence on both sides, but was written in response to the Warrington murders. She is saying that they aren’t doing it in hers or her families name..... So how you can make it just about the soldiers (British) is unfathomable.

@@glennrowe2961 that was aimed at the OP mate lol

[@larrybarrjr.6720]

This song has such a deep and resonating meaning, about children being killed in a fight that they didn't choose. So sad!😢

[@Pilutta100]

Loved your reaction, loved that you loved it. To me so important song. I'm old so I was there when it came out. So everyone has already explained it all to you. Just hugs from Sweden.

[@m.h.8914]

You both are amazing people

I used to put on MTV every morning before school, around 7am, 1994/95, Zombie would come on and I would just wait for it. This song and especially video, which is ingrained in my psyche since --I have never not had the chills from it. I'm so glad you loved it!

[@XtinaGrubz]

She has an amazing voice!!! You both look like you enjoyed it too!

[@jamiwithrow4612]

Y’all just seem like really genuine awesome people!!

[@mccoy1369]

One of my all time favorite songs. By far my one of my top 3 drums in a song. Everything about this song is amazing and her voice is the cherry and whip cream in top.

[@jdmbandarelos1310]

Bad that we will never hear this voice live, RIP amazing Dolores!

[@kaio7671]

Wow, friends.. I absolutely enjoyed your reaction, like three weeks ago!! Whenever I want to hear this song, I pull up your reaction video. Not only do you let the whole video play, but your reactions invoke tremendous emotions.

[@chrisduncan7257]

Nice choice, great song, amazing voice, and such a emotional subject. It was pure joy to see your reactions as each part of the song rolled over you both. x

[@ForestFairywales]

Amazing reaction, thanks guys x

[@shadsullivan7817]

She is speaking of the troubles. My Grandparents told us all about these times. Still happening as far as I understand. So sad. Thank you for shining the light on these tragedies. Thanks!!!

[@copthis5978]

WOW WOW WOW and folks thats the end of my vocabulary OH MY GOD en chore give your love to Delores Love from Australia

[@carlossantacruz3724]

Beautyful person love her she is the best

[@bobbyoscroft9341]

i grew up in Belfast, born there in the 70s, still here, know this song well, things maybe arnt as bad as they were in the past, the paramilitaries' no longer kill people from the other communities, instead they have turned the guns on their own communities to keep themselves in control of the streets , the peace walls separating the communities have been made higher while the paramilitaries have grown more powerful with thousands of members, this song has never made me emotional [maybe desensitized] but for some reason your reaction pulled my heart strings. i know we are living in a tinder box and that it would only take a spark to reignite the troubles, i wish more people could see what this song is saying, thank you Dolores O Riordan, may you rest in peace x

[@shannonodriscoll7026]

Luv your reaction to this . Shout out from Dublin Ireland

[@kimbunchalastnames5357]

that little lift of her voice at the end of some of her lines is something specifically gaelic (or celtic -- gaels were celts) and exclusive to the celtic folks in ireland and the scottish highlands and islands.
