Rock in Peace Dolores O'Riordan, died suddenly during the night hours before heading to the studio to help Bad Wolves record a cover of this song. They made the cover, and I think its pretty good. Worth checking out, but its hard to beat an original. The pitch shift she does with her voice is called Keening. It's like an Irish yodel.

'Zombie' was written to commemorate March 20, 1993, when two bombs, planted by the Irish Republican Army, exploded in the northern English town of Warrington. The blast from the second bomb injured dozens of people, but most cruelly claimed the lives of three-year-old Jonathan Ball and 12-year-old Tim Parry: a tragedy that shocked and appalled both the UK and Irish public.

It's about the Troubles that have taken place in Ireland since the 1800s by the English who killed more Irish and Scots than anything done by the other two.

@@pepperprovasnikwow you are so wrong. The troubles was not in the 1800s. The loyalists and catholics I as an American literally can't tell the diffrence if one each was talking to me. They seem the same to me and I say this as my great grandmother was a scoth Irish and my great grandfather was Irish catholic and both born into Irish community in america in late 1800s

You should react to more 90s alternative: Pearl Jam, Smashing Pumpkins, Oasis, Stone Temple Pilots, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden, Cranberries are all great choices.

Her voice would be Irish and she's probably talking about revolutionary Rebellion in Scotland and Ireland.

That’s not the meaning at all,it was written about an IRA car bomb in Warrington,England that killed two schoolchildren….here’s what Delores said about why she wrote the song. “There were a lot of bombs going off in London and I remember this one time a child was killed when a bomb was put in a rubbish bin -- that's why there's that line in the song, 'A child is slowly taken,'" O'Riordan told Songwriting Magazine. "We were on a tour bus and I was near the location where it happened, so it really struck me hard - I was quite young, but I remember being devastated about the innocent children being pulled into that kind of thing. So I suppose that's why I was saying, 'It's not me' - that even though I'm Irish it wasn't me, I didn't do it. Because being Irish, it was quite hard, especially in the UK when there was so much tension." She told Vox magazine in 1994 that the song was written in part as a mechanism to grapple with her identity as an Irish citizen that did not support the actions of the IRA. "The IRA are not me. I'm not the IRA. The Cranberries are not the IRA. My family are not. ... When it says in the song, 'It's not me, it's not my family,' that's what I'm saying. It's not Ireland".

Her voice is Irish because she was Irish. The reason her voice sounds even more Irish here is because she is "keening", a style of singing used for mourning at funerals. The Troubles between Ireland and Britain over Northern Ireland and religion is what she is talking about. Specifically the bombing in Warrington that killed two boys aged 12 and 3. The Troubles were a later century carry over of the Easter Uprising of 1916. Many Irish folk will tell you this conflict has been going on in cycles over 400 years and I, someone who lives across the pond, will not argue with them as they know their history best. The following year, an uneasy truce was called but too late for many.

If I remember correctly, IRA offered Dolores something like 1mio pounds to not release this song, as it would make them look bad. She released it anyway. if you decide to do any other songs by Cranberries, I would strongly recommend that you do ''So cold in Ireland'' and ''Dream''. Both killer tracks.

please do -Bad Wolves cover Zombie by The Cranberries in memory of Dolores O’Riordan,, The singer was due to add to the track at a studio session in London on Monday afternoon, but she died that morning at the age of 46.. Bad Wolves decided to release the cover, with all profits going to O’Riordan’s three children.. Tommy Vext says: “It was the greatest honor to know she liked our version and wanted to sing on it. . kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3-YdYZjaL6jj6ssi=OeYBhX_FDTtZQCmE

This song afaik has to do with The Troubles (I think, I'm not from Ireland so I probably don't exactly know) , a sort of nationalist war/conflict that happened there, starting in the 1960s and didn't end till the late 90s.
