Delores is "keening". This is a deep part of the Irish psyche and culture. It is the sound of grief and mourning that seems to bleed from particularly an Irish woman's soul.

[@mubbles1066]

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".

Listening to your review and watching this remarkable video again brought back memories from over 5 decades ago. I was going to school in England when the "Bloody Sunday Massacre" occurred on January 30th 1972 in Londonderry, Ireland. That spring, there were protest marches in Oxford, England where I was living. I met a young man from Ireland who told me he thought the "troubles" would not be over in his lifetime. I was shocked and asked him why. He said young children played soldiers and fighters, with sticks for guns, and were learning it was life. This video just portrays what he was telling me. It gives me chills and like you say "this still goes on in the world today". Great analysis video Polo.

Bad Wolves did a cover in 2018 that was really good, but it simply doesn't hold up to the original. Her voice was absolutely captivating.

[@johnwarner6858]

[@martinbynion1589]

I think that the imagery in this video symbolises the matyrdom of young children in the name of a cause which they don't understand, or even know about. In that sense, it is not just about Ireland, but could apply anywhere in the world , eg, Palestine in current times. A very sobering reflection on the Media Age that (most of) the planet is in these days.

Looking back now I realise that kind of power comes with being able to tap into something very real, like your countrymen having gone through decades of bloody conflict. RIP Dolores

[@AdamH7]

Just started watching your videos on Amy Winehouse and seen that this is your most recent video. I happen to be from Northern Ireland but born in Belfast after the Good Friday Agreement, so I was spared from The Troubles, unlike my parents and grandparents. The song is really about the whole conflict and the needless loss it caused on all sides, but there was a particular incident that brought on the song, the Warrington bombings. The IRA planted two bombs in bins that took the life of two boys, aged 3 and 12. The Cranberries made one of the most iconic anti-war songs in protest, it is still so sadly relevant today.

[@kitskivich]

This hit hard the first time I heard it, but the video had me crying the first time I saw it on MTV.

[@turntodusk]

The part with Dolores painted gold with the children at the cross is a reference to Michaelangelo’s painting of the Virgin Mary holding him in her arms. The grief sculpted on her face was so haunting and prominent. I personally think that it’s meant to embody the pain of the “mothers” who have had their children taken away from the violence during this time.

[@jaywysard]

Agreed. But to me what makes this song so, so great is though it was written about the violence associated with The Troubles, it's really about the visceral and devastating emotional pain that innocent people, particularly mothers, experience when loved ones, especially children, are killed during a conflict. Dolores is telling us, "Look at this. Listen to it. This is what happens. Don't be a mindless zombie and kill people automatically like it doesn't matter because it does." The song is just so, so powerful. RIP Dolores O'Riordan.

The ripple effect of the trauma whether it is physical or mental/spiritual keeps growing so much that it effects everything.

This song was a departure of sorts for Dolores. She had hits in the 1990's like "Dreams and "Linger", that seemed to be in every rom-com movie that came out at that time. That is why her record company offered her one million dollars to stop working on this song, for fears of upsetting the money coming in from her other hits. This song ended up being their biggest hit. Dolores had talked to the mothers of the children that were killed and they seemed like zombies.
