SO BEAUTIFULLY SAD!!! | First Time Hearing The Cranberries - "Linger" | REACTION

[@DrewKSK]

RIP Delores 🕊 She was a gift to music.

[@TannerHemmingsen]

Dolores O’Riordan is easily one of the greatest singers of all time. Just listen to any Cranberries song for proof

[@XWNLOX]

LoL no

[@timradde4328]

@@XWNLOX Go away.

[@flaviojosefo7130]

​@@XWNLOXlol yes, Dolores is the greatest of all time dude

[@liamwilson3119]

was... unfortunately. She was so amazing.

[@jasonturner2206]

I wouldn’t go that far..😁 But she was unique..

[@alexdrakeus1772]

Dreams- Cranberries

[@BPhillips2000]

Came here to say it. Love that song!

[@ericfuller3971]

I was going to say that song too. That song has techniques in singing that are a unique style and she was great at it

[@stuBdoc]

Phenomenal song, with the Irish folk style of "keening" thrown in at the end.

[@lathspell87]

Dreams is my favorite Cranberries song. Such a great song.

[@Doinkman79]

**DREAMS** by The Cranberries needs to be your next one. Purty-Please!!😁

[@bonand007]

Such a beautiful voice Dolores O'Riordan R.I.P. Their songs were full of emotion.

[@mellisa212]

This was the sound of the 1990’s. I loved her voice. Brings back memories. RIP Dolores. Love you girl.

[@neilsimon467]

Dreams and Ode to my Family are a must. Her voice was so unique, such a loss.

[@Brykk]

Cranberries are still one of my favorites

[@beachboy8995]

She was an angel and literally in pain. She lived for others. The ultimate compliment

[@DrewKSK]

Omg I love that you reacted to this song. It's one of my favorites of all time. You continously Rock ❤❤❤❤

[@PinMyCommentForNoReason]

Fun fact Aileen. Dolores O'Riordan wrote the lyrics to Linger while auditioning for the band as lead singer. Band members asked her to see what she could do with an instrumental track they were working on. She took it home, penned the lyrics to Linger, based on a real life experience of her first kiss and being rejected by her first love at 17, and came back a week later to sing along with the band, adding her lyrics and voice to the chord progression. They were awestruck at her talent.

[@Suleclo]

Such a beautiful song. I love your insightful reactions. Thank you! 🖤

[@patrickamtman4804]

Dreams was such a beautiful song by them as well💯💯....R.I.P. to the amazing ms o'riordan

[@roryowens9703]

Dreams brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it. A combination of nostalgia for that time, of the fact that Dolores is no longer with us, and just because it's an amazing song.

[@roba7737]

I love this song. It's my favorite song of their's. Thanks for reacting to it!

[@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis.]

I totally agree with your analysis of this beautiful but sad song, Aileen. 'The Cranberries' have so many great songs, ones which I recommend are: "Pretty", "Dreams", "I Still Do", "I Will Always", "Ode To My Family", "I Can't Be with You", "Ridiculous Thoughts", "Daffodil Lament", "Put Me Down". There are many more but these are good ones to continue with.

[@FOXHOUND1871]

Honestly their first two albums are nothing but bangers start to finish

[@Tbonethe73rd]

If you haven't listened to The Cranberries 'Ode To My Family' yet, you're definitlely gonna love it.

[@AndrewinAus]

I hear this song and instantly I am transported back to my 20's Dolores had the most unique voice and using the Irish 'keening' sound in her singing was just something that captivated me. The band put out some absolutely memorable songs during their time that will always remain on my playlists somewhere. Glad you enjoyed this one so much Aileen.

[@robertfindley921]

Angelic voice. Those Irish Rs get me every time. RIP Dolores.

[@TravelPhotoGuy]

Always brighten my day with your reaction ❤

[@Pugiron]

7:00 "and I'm in so deep" the first time I heard her hit that line, I fell in love with her and loved her for the rsst of her life and through this day

[@papacapp6855]

broke my heart when she moved on. Love her so much and really miss her. Great reaction, thank you.

[@davidroynewby]

Agreed. I had the chance to see the Cranberries when I was in the Philippines in 2012, and missed it. I regret being over-focused on my business and not taking that evening off to invest time with them!

[@chuck196811]

Songs such as these are like little time machines. They take you right back.

[@doorofnight87]

Such a great song, love The Cranberries! Your reaction and engagement with the song is, as always, so great to hear. Love hearing your thoughts!

[@KevanCorkill]

Hi Aileen 😊 Absolutely outstanding reaction and analysis to The Cranberries Linger. All the instrumentalism and vocals aside the telling of your story will definitely resonate with so many women who are caught in that cycle. The man in the hat is their "John". The men in the hallway are waiting their turn and grab a key to the room. All too many women fall into this trap when they come to the city looking for an opportunity of success and then find themselves needing to make a living any way they can to just survive and unfortunately there are predators waiting for them. Again, absolutely great analysis by the best reactor. Have a great day you and Arya with much love 😊👍💪❤️👑👑

[@Bill-c8k]

RIP DELORES your voice is missed

[@Nick-zz6xl]

Beautiful song!

[@Fldrt1772]

The Cranberries marked a generation.

[@ArianaH3ART]

Can never go wrong with the Cranberries and I will always tune in when I see they are featured. Dolores O’Riordan meant alot to me growing up, her voice and music were amazing and I was totally devastated when she died. One of her lesser known songs but more lighter and fun is the Cranberries - Just my imagination if you ever wanted one to check out. ☹ It's sad to think about because she definately had more to give, her voice, beauty and soul were a gift to us all. Thanks for what you did give us though girl so much love for you, rest in peace. 😭💜🎸

[@alfredmilton1619]

I'll never forget the first two CD's that I ever purchased back in the 90's were The Cranberries and The Counting Crows. Love these reactions.

[@YolichM]

I just want to say, your elaboration on songs is so refreshing.

[@mynameispaul0530]

Many folks can relate to this song.

[@metaluna72]

"Ode to my Family" will break your heart.

[@stevehand4253]

Aileen this is such a beautiful song nice work 👍

[@sweet1212121]

This has always been the song I sneak in the queue at parties. You’d think it’d throw off the vibes but all the drinks sing this at the top of their lungs. An absolute masterclass

[@philipdavison6523]

On Aileen, I was so sad the day Dolores died. Such a beautiful song on all levels; the music, the lyrics and the voice.

[@southeastchristian713]

A very unique voice!

[@marieleighd]

I love how this girl describes the feelings when listening to a song. I relate so much to all that she’s saying. Amazing reaction! New sub 😊

[@DavidAston-bn9bz]

Dolores' voice was out of this world and beautifully ethereal. Yes she did all the angelic backing vocals too. If you love the ethereal I would highly recommend Liz Fraser guesting on the atmospheric "Teardrop" by Massive Attack which is a gentle impulsion rather than a massive attack into your soul. The video is oddly compelling too!

[@408erMH]

I miss the 90s!! Great era for music.We took it for granted.

[@louislong6915]

She sang like an angel and a banshee

[@ritchmoore1442]

This whole album is incredibly good. Bought it just before an emotional road trip of 6 hours (one way) - played it the whole way there and all the way back. Hearing it brings back all those memories. ❤

[@littmus32ify]

Makes me cry... This song goes back to a time when life for me was simpler... The '90s and college. Such a wonderful song.

[@jameshose5043]

loved your reaction and vibe thx subbed

[@UberDurable]

One of my favorite songs, exceptionally beautiful...

[@wizardofahhhs759]

The way Aileen describes Delores' voice is how I feel about Aileen's voice, so soothing and relaxing.

[@ZACH_95_]

RIP Dolores! 🙏🏻 She is/was one of my favorite female singers. Such a beautiful voice. One of the best. And she was beautiful too!

[@davidepps5239]

Listening to your reaction, to start my day... makes my day... you are so positive... keep being you. Have a great day

[@zizzors]

I saw them on their 1st U.S tour. They were fantastic. ❤

[@CanadaDan]

Loved this reaction n I've loved this song since the first time I heard in, yrs ago. Dolores was such an iconic artist

[@marcomaccari1429]

I saw the Cranberries in concert in Milan in 2010...... They were great.....and Dolores had a beautiful voice

[@richardhenderson9767]

When You're Gone is awesome by The Cranberries ❤❤❤

[@jjh5374]

For most of us, THIS SONG was our first introduction to Dolores and The Cranberries. They appeared on the music scene like a whirlwind, sweeping us off our feet. That voice. THAT VOICE. Truly beautiful and haunting at the same time. To say I became obsessed with The Cranberries is an understatement. A band and a voice that evoked truth and heartbreak. Love, love, love them to this day.

[@tmex9588]

Im an old school metal head and wasn’t a big fan of the musical climate of the 90’s. But I always loved this song. It’s timeless, if it came out today or 20 years from now, it would still be just as impactful.

[@safespacebear]

They would become massive with the following album but i was in love the first time i heard Linger. It really stood out against the other alternative songs at the time and the Cranberries were a breath of fresh air

[@seanhughes2815]

The fact that she lets her natural Limerick accent come through in her vocals has a huge beneficial effect on her delivery and gives her vocals a wonderful lilt and accent that does not happen very often

[@finallymyownchannel9756]

I really was not prepared for this. It sent me directly back to the early 90's. such a great emotion.

[@Panterakat1]

I absolutely adored The Cranberries. Such a unique sound and powerful stories. A Senpai keep up the great work on these vids. Sometimes you really take me back to memories I thought I had forgotten, but they are still there. When this song came out it spoke to me because of a bad relationship I was in, and stupidly tolerating. I found some strength in this song it helped me break it off clean and I refound my happy place in my life.

[@Charlie-x6y]

This is the same we all had back in the day when we first heard sweet Delores..thanx for this one, it really took me back

[@jerrydial5984]

Awesome song, awesome group, awesome Aileen! Lol One of my favorite songs ever. Still love that song, them and The Sundays are probably my two favorites from then (maybe with Belly at times). I agree with your take on it being uplifting but heartbreaking at the same time, thank you!

[@johnnyras66]

always love your reactions, Aileen

[@davidjamesbanko9315]

"A beautiful vocal salad". Again, I love the descriptions you have for the music and voices you hear.🥰🐟💙

[@johnryder2878]

One of my all time favorite songs ♥♥ So beautiful, and a little sad 😥

[@dustinschommer7518]

Delores' tone and inflections were amazing but the thing i especially love is that you knew she was Irish. Her accent was so prevalent in her singing. So many UK singers grew up hearing USA music so they sing like USA singers. Not Delores. She sings like she grew up singing Irish folk songs. When i sing along, i pronounce my "th's" like "t's"!

[@neilschoenthal594]

My favourite song from them, have a good one Aileen!

[@EUGENEGarcia-l4i]

thank you aileen senpai for another nice reaction..... from san antonio,texas......

[@joeleos3253]

Hello Aileen there's a ballid from THE STRAY CATS called I WON'T STAND IN YOUR WAY. I think you would like it

[@philrob1978]

Loved the Cranberries - it's interesting to hear you say that although it's a sad song, it's sort of comforting. I think that's just what songs like this can do is let you know that you're not alone. Music is a salve to all of our problems and you understand that, which is refreshing to see.

[@stevemadrid6522]

She was so young when she wrote this. Gone too soon. What a beautifully tragic masterpiece.

[@firstnamelastname-bu1xm]

theres so many cranberries songs that are beautiful... "no need to argue" is one of the best albums ever... i've seen people react to cranberries songs- usually zombie, linger... but I haven't seen anyone reacting to "everything I said", which is my fav!

[@carlgibbons5777]

Great song and a masterpiece record. I think my favorite on the record is Disappointment. So haunting and heartbreaking and wonderful drum groove coming from a drummer:)

[@GregHardy-fn5hs]

You have to check out their MTV Unplugged session, Empty is my favorite, but 21 is a close second ❤

[@TerryParsons1724]

Great reaction love this song thank you. 🤟🤘

[@carlgibbons5777]

Maybe the most underrated band of the 90's. One of my favorite bands of the 90's for sure. Still listen to their entire catalog all the time.

[@williamsummerson1204]

Loved the reaction Aileen. This is my personal favorite cranberries song. Dolores voice is so beautiful. 🙏😪

[@jonathanbaenziger3182]

I'm with a lot of others in your comments on suggesting "Ode to my Family" for your next Cranberries reaction. I would also like to suggest a sort of underrated song of theirs in my opinion called "Stars" Looking forward to hopefully seeing either one sometime in the future.

[@PindleofKujata]

Dolores O'Riordan was an incredible singer. My favourite quality of hers is the ethereal nature she manages to capture when she's singing - this breathy intonation when she delivers her vocals. Reminds me of dream pop. Such a tragedy.

[@RubenGallardo-fd3ss]

Buen video....Maravillosa como siempre 😊

[@mikethej4218]

My favorite is Like the Weather, which i personally relate to being in an isolated funk (not just weather induced).. A "four poster, dull torpor"!!

[@ten4thebguy]

A beautiful vocal salad ! perfect analogy ❤️

[@landofeuphony8449]

She was an extra unique singer! At some point check out the last album she did, it was her first solo Album. It’s her most intimate album she said her self. ✌Great reaction!

[@kalohaggard1729]

It's funny that both her and Ozzy do the doubling and layering of their own voices , it's always them just backing themselves. Magnificent voices both .

[@chevetteman17]

Her voice has so much emotion but yes it very much makes you feel like things will be ok. Her voice is so soothing to me.

[@josecarlosrodriguezgallard3372]

La mejor cantante del mundo!! Para siempre!!❤❤

[@timtravasos2742]

Unique and gifted voice. Dreamy and sad...

[@deanjacobs6693]

The cranberries when you're gone is a great song too Well written

[@mkmstillstackin]

Her voice just grows more haunting as this song ages!

[@gawf99]

I was a kid when this song released but I never got the depth of it until I got older. Such a beautiful story sung so well.

[@jamesdavisjr6937]

The cranberries had a song called how that was featured in the movie empire records words its a short song but one of my favorite cranberries songs

[@richardmoreno6069]

One of my favorite bands. I miss her 😢

[@mitchgordon8199]

She was born and gone to soon in the time we question are owe existence we were very lucky to witness this rare talent ❤

[@kevinhodgins1811]

This song always gets me in the feels.

[@professorbugbear]

The Cranberries are amazing, but this will always be my favorite of their songs. There is just something so raw and true in the message of the song... something vulnerable... something I understand in a deep level. I love Dolores so damn much.

[@MrGpschmidt]

Dolores had the voice of a giantess - lucky enough to see her solo and when the Cranberries reunited - She's SadlyMissed - I hope you keep up w/them A xoxo

[@Michael-on4ti]

Wow what a voice she had. Angelic

[@Roh_Echt]

This one is their first hit; that I can remember...and w/♥. There's a video of this one being performed in 1991 - Live 'at the Waterfront' for BBC Network...two yrs before their debut album arrived in 1993. Dolores looked so nervous...but she did very well. Anyhow...all Dolores fans should watch it. Also, I believed someone else did the backup vocals. So I searched and found this; "Johanna Cranitch sang backup vocals on "Linger" by the Cranberries."

[@H46_2]

That song is you, perfect and beautiful.

[@infinitethewolf1933]

I love you😳you listen to so much music your my kind of girl if you listen to black metal and thrash metal

[@BarrenCosmos]

Outside of Zombies, this is the only song I’m gonna be ending up listen to with your reaction which it’s always so great when you show us these classic for anyone who hasn’t had a chance to listen to them either like you/I😭 I already know your thoughts are gonna be so good too 🖤

[@barrylavender7938]

Beautiful song. RIP Dolores. Great reaction Aileen. You should check out either "Dreams" or "Ode to my family" next by them.

[@PittDaddy]

Great reaction as always Aileen. The Cranberries were good as songs that pulled at the heartstrings. Be sure to check out the new release by Epica. It's a perfect Halloween song called The Ghost in Me. It's based on the Danse Macabre by Camille Saint Saens. I know you'll love it!

[@it-really-hurts2092]

Song came out when I was 16, everytime I hear it it reminds me of driving my 1st car, gf in the passenger seat, discman with the cassette tape adapter plugged into the car stereo. Man I miss those times.😢

[@D.A.B-w7n]

Sends me back there so quickly, Delores is so missed.
