The Cranberries - Zombie ( Bagpipe Rock Cover ) - The Snake Charmer

The Cranberries Zombie was one of the anthems in earlier years and its a song close to everybody's heart. It was really sad hearing that the iconic voice behind this great song " Dolores " is no more. I did my best to try make a cover that brings out all the emotions of this amazing song Zombie on the Bagpipes!
R.I.P Dolores O' Riordan

Anyone else notice that out of all the tributes to this song, the bagpipes are the closest you can get to that edge that Delores had to her voice? Listen to them side by side, no wonder that woman was an Irish icon.

[@pinkysgarage2779]

Bagpipes are such a beautiful instrument that I feel speaks to everyone in one form or fashion .

[@troypuyear2241]

Perfectly said. Dolores' voice was one of a kind.

@Zubay Y. I’m a Midwestern, lower class American, and I’ve never and sad probably will never hear a bag pipe in real life. But from what I’ve heard from the internet and tv. They’re just loud bags of spit and air. But this video has made me curious enough to give them another chance.

[@jamesianwright532]

When I went to high school, music was a required subject. I was given a choice choir or band class. Any instrument. I picked the bag pipes because I figured I would never get it. Mr Reynolds got a set for me. The first two years were painful for everyone. Then I learned you could play Deep Purples songs on them. Was never very good but was invited to every foot ball game and all the cheer leader parties as long as I brought my pipes. Cops show up and ask that the music be turned down out came my pipes. Was a hit in college for the same reason. Last year I was at the legion waiting for a union meeting to start. There was a student bag pipe band trying to practice. A few of the younger players did not like having to play the Black Bear or Scotland the Brave. Being a smart ass I suggested something more resent. My choice was “Zombie” now I am no where near your league. However I did get out the first bit. When I handed the pipes back there was stunned silence from the band master. The next month the band was working on their version. Even the drummers were standing around working on their part. Last October I took my IPad along and showed them your stuff. In December I had the chance to see them play again. You have had a great affect on them. The girls in the band love your Irish / Indian / Pakistanis Dance number and the one where you place the desert enchantress. All I know is that the band master says that they are now gaining members instead of loosing them.

There are few songs that bring a tear, Zombie is one and Archy you have brought a whole new level of introspection to it.

I just heard the song Zombie recently and had no idea the singer passed away. I had no emotional attachment to the song or the singer, but your rendition really made me feel the pain over her passing. It hit me hard in the feels. It was truly heartfelt and beautiful.

I am and in many ways, always going to be in love with Delores O'riordan. Her voice was that of an Angel and when she sang it made me feel a little less alone a little less depressed, just better in so m, many ways. I was able to overcome my battle with bipolar disorder largely in part to Delores and the cranberries music. when I was at my lowest the cranberries music literally saved me ibn so many ways. My only regret is that I'll never get to tell Delores or the band, but I know where ever she is she knows. thanks for doing this snake.

This is, IMHO, a better sounding version than the original. And it may sound mean, but it's not intended as such, but the bag pipes elicit thre exact image if the lead singers voice in the original version. Absolutely beautiful.

[@trenae77]

Perhaps not better so much as a format that speaks more clearly to you and your personal style. I feel the same way about some covers; the original is it’s own piece of art, but perhaps a cover artist puts a slight tweak to it that clarifies a point, or hits a chord the original didn’t and resonates with me.
