[@tinastanley4444]

Terribly sad

[@kenneth2875]

Wikipedia-When O'Riordan was auditioned as the lead singer for the band, she wrote the lyrics, turning it into a song of regret based on an experience with a 17-year-old soldier she once fell in love with. Drummer Fergal Lawler recalled the process in an interview, saying: It was a Sunday afternoon. She arrived with a keyboard under her arm, just set it up and played a few songs. We couldn't really hear her because she was singing through a guitar amp or something. I gave her a lift up to the bus stop and I was saying, 'Will we see you next week?' We gave her a tape of the music for 'Linger', which she took with her. The following week she came back, and she had lyrics written out and melodies and she sang along to what we were playing, and it was like, 'Oh, my God. She's great'. In the documentary '99 Love Life & Rock 'n' Roll, O'Riordan says that the song is about her first serious kiss.

[@sdg5270]

The first song she wrote for the Cranberries. They gave her a melody and asked her to write some lyrics as part of her audition. Song about a boy who was her first kiss and first boyfriend. Sometime after that they broke up. He was military.

[@robertboyd4220]

I heard it was more that she was really into him, but he wasn’t as into her and when he kissed her, he lingered, which made her completely fall in love. I could be wrong, but I’m interested to know.

[@sdg5270]

@robertboyd4220 I have heard it a couple of ways...the one you mentioned also included that the same guy she kissed was seen hanging out with one of Dolores's friends showing her more attention. This left her out. The interview I saw with her detailed the boyfriend and first kiss.

I'll say it in every reaction to the Cranberries - Fergal Lawler, the drummer, is WICKED underestimated. He's the driving force behind the sound. With Dolores's ethereal voice on top? Can't miss. And yes, "Dreams" was and remains my all-time favorite Cranberries song. Please react to it!

[@flipflop1975ify]

I used to tap this beat on my sandwich box as an 18year old becuse I didn't have a drum. I still get that urge to tap, every time I hear Linger 😊

Dreams is my fv as well. I first heard dreams... seriously, first time I heard the song dreams was in the Hillary Swank Karate Kid Movie; this song was the one she started working out when the monks start dancing to the song, like a kata to the beat..

It's her Limerick accent that comes out loud and clear in her voice making it distinctive . I spent 4 years there in the late 80s and haven't forgotten that accent.

[@nTrylo]

My aunt would play this track while cleaning her house, singing into the broom like a mic, and it always reminds me of her. It's a quintessential 90's core memory from when I was 7.

[@DAVEJUNGLIST88-95]

The first track i heard from these was Dreams, and i really liked it, but after hearing this i was hooked. The album it came from, "Everybody Else Us Doing It, So Why Can't We?" is an album i can still listen to, 31 years later, from start to finish without skipping a track. Dolores' death was one of a few famous people i actually cried about. RIEP x

[@sumonjamal1653]

Dolores O' Riordan was only 18 when she joined The Cranberries in 1989... She died at age 46 in 2018 😪 Her voice was instantly recognizable and she could yodel, sing in soprano and sing rock music w/ force. The Cranberries' debut album "Everybody else is doing it, so why can't we" was released in 1993 and took a year to sell w/ massive singles - 'Dreams'... and 'Linger'... the album sold 5x platinum in the US... 'Dreams' is still used in movies and commercials. 2nd album 'No need to argue' was released in 1994 and it sold 7x platinum in the US (17 million copies worldwide) w/ major hits like - 'Zombie'... 'Ode to my family' ... "I can't be with you"... 🔥🔥 The Cranberries' 3rd album 'To the faithfully departed' in 1996 charted at #4 in the US but took some of the backlash against 90's alternative rock... it sold 2x platinum w/ hits like "When you're gone" ... 'Salvation'. 4th album 'Bury the hatchet' sold gold in the US (half million copies) in 1999... 5th album 'Wake up and smell the coffee' in 2001 failed commercially selling 170K units in the US... The Cranberries broke up soon after. Dolores O' Riordan released 2 solo albums in 2007 and 2009... neither were commercially successful. She finally reunited w/ The Cranberries to tour in 2009 and recorded new music ... Unfortunately, she had personal problems... divorced in 2014... arrested after an episode... diagnosed w/ bi-polar disorder in 2015... She was struggling in 2017 w/ back problems as she worked on a new Cranberries album. Dolores O' Riordan died drowning in her hotel bathtub from alcohol intoxication in early 2018... (R.I.P.) She was due to put her vocals on a cover of 'Zombie' by the band Bad Wolves (The cover single was released in her honor) In 2019, The Cranberries released their 8th and final album 'In the end' w/ Dolores' vocals and announced that the band was over without her.

[@Dilydaydream1]

She and sinead o connor were the voice of ny generation of irish women. This is my favourite cranberries song written when dolores was a teenager.....

[@EveryCloud9999]

[@storkbreath]

Yes 👍

[@IsabelleRSG]

'Ode To My Family' is another amazing song by the Cranberries where Dolores reminisces about her childhood and how her parents see her as an adult with her life / career choice... Since you are a family-oriented person, I am sure the song would talk to you and you'd enjoy it, because it is also another wonderful song that showcases her voice so well.

The Cranberries were such a vibe in the 90s. Loved them. They were referenced in "Clueless" when Elton *had* to be excused from class to go back to the quad because he left his Cranberries CD there. Classic. In fact, the 90s were a great time for female led alternative music. The Sundays were amazing, too.

[@caretaker158]

Loved the fact that she sang with that beautiful Limerick accent... add the keening.... perfection. We lost such a HUGE talent when she passed away. Couldn't even imagine how high she'd have flown here on Earth.

[@RaynorBear]

... there was just something about this song ... I played the 7" single non-stop for days after I bought it, and over 30 years later, I still put the record on the turntable several times a year. I had a partner at one time that told me I was obsessed with this song and that he was damn tired of hearing it.

[@JDfromPhilly]

What an amazing voice! In 92 I believe when this song came out I was still listening to hair bands and metal but when this came on the radio or played in the bar that we drank in quite often everybody loved this song.

Ode to My Family and Daffodil Lament are two other great Cranberries tunes. RIP Dolores.

[@landiahillfarm6590]

Such a sad song yet so beautiful. RIP Delores. IIRC Delores wrote the lyrics to this song as "a test" by the band after she floored then in a tryout to be a lead singer. She came back with the lyrics in just a couple days, blew them away AGAIN and the rest is history.

[@CG68810]

The Cranberries were the soundtrack of my early 1990s days. I first discovered them from all places from the Real World San Francisco, which was the 3rd season of the iconic reality show. They were such a unique and hauntingly sounding band. Delores is so missed.

After the tragic death of Delores O'Riordan, the Cranberries released their final album containing tracks they'd been working on prior to her passing. The album, aptly titled "In the End" has some really cool stuff, but the final track, also titled "In the End," feels almost like a eulogy, and still brings a tear to my eye.

To have a song on your playlist doesn’t have to mean you’re in that stage in your relationship as in the song. To have it on your playlist can just mean that you want to listen to it to enjoy its beauty. At least that’s the way I think.

[@Fizzledark]

TLDR: Songs to check out include ... • Wicked Game (Chris Isaak) • No Ordinary Love (Sade) • Colorblind (Counting Crows) • Pretty (Cranberries) • Round Here (Counting Crows) • The Great Gig In the Sky (Pink Floyd) When I was a youngin', many moons ago, I was friend zoned for the first time. During those times that were the worst to endure emotionally, I would listen to a mixtape I made that included No Ordinary Love by Sade, Wicked Game by Chris Isaak, Linger by Cranberries, and Round Here by Counting Crows. Very cathartic. 😋 The other songs above are also emotional. The Pink Floyd tune, in particular, is unparalleled. It features wordless vocals by a woman named Clare Torry, who was just told to improvise to the music in a way that expresses what it might feel like to die and transition to an afterlife. What you hear on the studio recording was done in just two takes and can shake you to your core. The live performances are decent, but it's never Clare, and no one has ever come close to matching what she originally did.

the first time I heard this wonderful song was when they were opening for Duran Duran in 93. my best friend in high school loved Duran Duran and kinda dragged me to their concert at The Petersen Events Center in Pittsburgh, PA. I was blown away by the cranberries and mourned Dolores when she passed. my take on the song was she loved this man, he was a "player" and kept stringing her along, hence do you have to let it linger". that's my take anyway
