THE EMOTION!| FIRST TIME HEARING THE Cranberries - Linger REACTION

[@abelincoln3287]

This song is haunting, but deep, sad and beautiful all at the same time. I'm still intrigued by this song.

[@ninawildr4207]

Love your comment

[@jillwilliams3784]

Well said.

[@brianmcmaster5112]

I just think of Delores and get sad

[@kimfarmer9454]

Abe, your comment was as beautiful as the song ❤️

[@amandam6263]

Haunting is exactly what it is.

[@jonesyokc]

Her voice just captures you. It is so sad that she was taken from us at such a young age.

[@stormy7722]

im doing my best to be good enough to see her in concert :)

[@system3008]

​@@stormy7722good luck with that.

[@matthewkendall5235]

I love the Cranberries - I worked in Dublin in the late 80s - I recall a story from an Irish mate that her school principal used to get the whole school to stop and listen to her sing in morning assemblies and I can easily believe that - her singing is just so hauntingly beautiful, so pure and unique - and such pitch perfect delivery. No one comes close - so sad she left us too early...

[@jimo3173]

Part of how she got that beautiful voice she had was when she was young growing up in Ireland her father taught her how to yodel. I don't know why she let herself go into an alcohol coma in a bathtub where she drowned because she had 3 kids too. In any event she went way too soon.

[@GeorgiaCav]

RIP Dolores, gone much too soon. You are loved and sadly missed.

[@cecilegraveline6584]

Yes,sure😢❤❤

[@raisa_cherry35]

😢

[@scottbergeron9515]

Very much missed

[@richbrake9910]

Yes, I was bummed when I heard that.

[@CuttinEJ]

This is one of those songs where the vocal melody moves me to tears. You can literally feel her heart breaking. Absolutely beautiful. And I’ll say it again. You guys are why rock will never die. Much love 💕

[@michaelfrazia4569]

it's stunning..I am a guy you'd see and say...nah he isn't that type of guy....this song gets me every time

[@marykatemcnally2653]

As a music teacher, watching you two listen to the guitar solo side by side is my very favorite part of this video. The way you’re physicalizing the different elements of the music is fantastic; one of you bopping to the beat (as you then reveal is your background with rap/hip-hop) while the other sways smooth to the spacey guitar/synth solo. Your appreciation for the structure of the track… honestly made me tear up. When I dream of the kinds of music consumers my students will be when they grow up, I pray they end up like this. Forever seeking to expand their horizons, find meaning in music they didn’t previously understand, and most of all, APPRECIATING DOLORES’S CASUAL OPERATIC BADASSERY IN ALL ITS GLORY 😂😂😂 earnestly, NEVER stop doing this!

[@markfilla9305]

Since you like Dolores O'Riordan's voice so much, I'd recommend checking out The Sundays. An English group with a female vocalist (Harriet Wheeler). She has a similar ethereal singing voice that is unforgettable. Their best known song is Here's Where the Story Ends, but I'd also recommend Summertime. It actually sounds like summer should sound IMO!

[@willfromyadkinville]

R.I.P. Dolores! Harriet Wheeler is an absolute dream!

[@squintygirl]

Both great suggestions!

[@robertthrockmorton9248]

Didn’t Dolores pass away about a year ago?

[@kateg.5542]

The Sundays’ cover of Wild Horses is also amazing

[@suzannejane1035]

I adore The Sundays and Cocteau Twins

[@MRM-Wendy]

This was the song that made me a Cranberries fan

[@brianperez379]

Then again this is the song that made the cranberries "The Cranberries"

[@jaquettajones]

This Song is SO Stunningly GORGEOUS - I still remember Exactly where I was when the first time I heard it back in the 90's when I naively believed music could only EVOLVE to be better from that point on. Man was I Wrong.

[@jamiking1696]

Her voice is used like an instrument. I literally cried when I found out she passed away.

[@JoelAdams-j9x]

Im a 56 year old man.....me too ❤

[@ZeeDahktah]

I’ll say it again. You two have the most genuine and real reaction channel I’ve seen. You’re not pandering and fake like so many others. Your openness and appreciation has grown your palate.

[@bernardsalvatore1929]

[@JBjopa8]

Agreed 💯

[@judyfalcone9125]

Yeah

[@ConnieRoseknows]

Absolutely!!

[@mac1975]

Completely

[@raulruizruiz9608]

Linger is the song that got me hooked

[@mariebishop7357]

I'm so glad you reacted to The Cranberries again. Dolores O'Riordan was one of a kind, and her voice was pure heaven. She did the song Ave Maria and you should definitely check it out. Her voice will give you chills .

[@TightwadTodd]

"her voice was pure heaven"..... Still is, and always will be, as long as we can hear it....

[@allieren]

Freaking loved The Cranberries in the 90s! And my friends and I definitely had this song on repeat. I figured you’ve reacted to “Zombie,” which I love but another one of my favorites that I feel really highlights Dolores’ voice is “Ode To My Family.”

[@jimmysavage9061]

She used to get the school bus with us every morning. Always had her guitar with her. Listened to Cranberries initially because I knew her, but quickly realised she was a huge talent. Drummer was brilliant too. Very emotional for any Limerick person to hear her voice and see nice posts such as yours

[@martinmosteller5813]

“Ode to My Family” is awesome! My personal fave might be “I Can’t Be With You”

[@teresadavidson3706]

Same here!

[@darrellmatz1111]

Today is my wife's Birthday She passed away in 2018 but still still wanted to say Happy Birthday My Friend my Lover my Wife Cindy.. 🤓

[@ZiggieZoo]

That's hard. Sorry.

[@johnsmith-kc5hl]

Our bodies die, but love is eternal.

[@johnwoolard4599]

Jay this is for you and your love of guitar playing. No need to do it as a reaction but you need to listen. Tom Morello - I Have Seen The Way (ft. Alex Lifeson, Kirk Hammett & Dr. Fresch) [Official Audio] Morello - Rage Against the Machine Lifeson - RUSH Hammett - MetallicA 3 of the greatest guitar players in one song!

[@sandyca1106]

I love how you both speak on each and every layer of a song. Realistic reactions, unlike some other channels I've seen. Thanks.

[@gbcrowne271]

You guys could check out another Irish band, The Corrs, three sisters and a brother, with their song ‘Only When I Sleep’, they included some Celtic sounds in their music.

[@MrNaturalhigh72]

Seeing Amber's reaction to this song perfectly shows the emotional impact of this song.

[@joeybaum03]

The way she closes her eyes and just feels the music and let’s it flow through her just shows you how to listen to this song

[@ronpotts6385]

Linger was The Cranberries second single, and first huge hit. Dreams was the first single, and it was rereleased as a single after the success of Dreams. I was starting out in college at the time, and I remember Linger being everywhere at the time. The music video is great as well, with a film noir aesthetic. The guitar style is heavily inspired by the first album's producer, Stephen Street, who produced a lot of work for The Smiths.

[@navymiguelito]

Oh wow, I am hearing The Smiths vibe channeling in the instrumentals.

[@ryanmacrae6217]

RIP my Irish Angel, ya'll should check out Odd to my family

[@MrGpschmidt]

In a word: ethereal. Such a beautifully sung and realized song - Dolores is in a league all by herself; poignant. Miss her. Nice job/choice guys.

[@edmundhenry5095]

My son and I were in Ireland and visited her grave. We were listening to Linger as we approached the small cemetery, a time we won't forget....

[@mark-be9mq]

Beautiful voice beautiful person, her passing was, is such a loss. I can't imagine this lovely song would sound anywhere so good without her.

[@Likwidphase2]

Rip never again have a voice like her so angelic heaven sure does sound beautiful now

[@YTDW2006]

Dolores O'Riordan, gone too soon. Cranberries got a lot of rotation in my CD player in the late 90's, Salvation was always my personal favorite but you can't go wrong with any of their mainstream hits. You guys offer such an authentic, mature perspective it's no wonder I keep hanging out on your channel which my wife watches with me now too. Happy one year anniversary!

[@JohnRodriguesPhotographer]

She was really belting that song out. The really smoked it too. I am a big fan of Delores O'Riordan, the band kind gets covered up by her voice and presence, they were first rate as well.

[@chrisgraham6187]

This song is from their first album where Zombie was from their second which was better in my opinion. Their third and fourth albums were faster and some harder stuff so check out some songs like: "Salvation", " "Free to Decide", "Just my Imagination", and "Promises"

[@spunterage]

It was cool to see you both vibing in two different ways. Jay bobbing along to the drum beat and Amber swaying to the haunting vocals and strings. Just goes to show that music is both a shared and individual experience simultaneously. Everyone can get something different from it.

[@johnohrstrom5112]

The intro to this song w the guitar and ethereal vocal is timeless. This song is underrated. Fo SHO!!!

[@jasonsabbath6996]

I was able to turn my mom into a Cranberries fan as I took her to their concert in the Finger Lakes area of New York back in the late 90s. She fell in love with their beautiful sound. It made me so happy to share my love of The Cranberries with her.

[@irisl2508]

Dolores' voice is the only one thar can give me goosebumps all the way to my cheeks. Amazing. She is definitely missed ❤😢

[@Hazardlv]

Even her name was beautiful. Dolores O'Riordan

[@sunnybearbuds]

This is my favorite of the Cranberries, but I want to reiterate: I love you guys because I get to rediscover why I fell in love with some of these old songs by watching your reactions and hearing why you feel they have value. Thanks for what you do.

[@TheChick24]

Another "Siren" voice is Florence Welch from Florence + The machine... had the pleasure of seeing her live and about melted in my seat... she blew me away! Check out Shake it out or Heavy in your arms for a start!

[@dominrael8658]

was going to suggest the same, Florence and the Machine 'wish that you were here' has a similar ethereal feel to this song and a deep lyrical meaning.

[@lkajiess]

Florence is so good. Dark Days Are Over would be a good one.

[@ClickToPreview]

@@lkajiess It's "Dog days are over", but yes :)

[@lkajiess]

@@ClickToPreview Haha, correct. I even knew that. Brain fart.

[@Norollo]

"Siren" is not the word. "Soulful" could be.

[@richbrake9910]

I never thought about the vulnerability aspect of her voice, at least in this song. You're absolutely correct. Love it.

[@77tml]

Love her voice. She was such a talent. Have you done any Sarah Mclachlan?

[@billholemo2518]

Its refreshing to see you reactions! I'm 64, these are the Songs of my Life. Thank you!!

[@bearman52]

Her voice in this song makes me tear up.

[@kcheylin9957]

"what goes into it" - - in this case, she also orchestrated this song at a time she was very young. LOVED HER VOICE. Massive loss to music. RIP Dear Delores.

[@mjd6199]

Another group you should listen to is The Sundays. I think you will love the female singer’s voice in that group as well. Two songs I recommend are “Here’s Where the Story Ends” and “Wild Horses.”

[@JoTracy]

I adore The Sundays!!!

[@pauljohm]

Yes! Brilliant!

[@jakeaurod]

"Summertime" was my introduction to them.

[@Suprahampton]

Another Flavour!

[@jayjaybee]

Yeeeessssss! SUCH an underrated band! Harriet Wheeler is a gem.

[@audracrawford8836]

Linger my favorite Cranberries song 🎶 I played an instrumental Cranberries song as I walked down the isle at my wedding 20 years ago….

[@johnmaynardable]

First time I heard this song was as I was driving to Atlanta for a TV audition (did that a lot). There was a great radio station that I always tuned into because they introduced me to bands like The Cranberries and Weezer. Love this song.

[@qthemusicdj]

People can complain that you like every song but keep in mind that these are the same people who are requesting that you listen to the ALL TIME CLASSICS. The songs that have stood the test of time.

[@larsa.8096]

My second favourite band during the 90s ❤

[@joeng4057]

First?

[@VictorSilva-ko2vk]

Dude, the way you just closed your eyes and just... Felt the music.

[@dc9632]

RIP Dolores. We're still listening. Other great cranberries suggestions: Ode to my family, When you're Gone, Promises, Salvation, Star.

[@pdog547]

I Just Shot John Lennon, that one might hit them hard too.

[@Fenncer24]

To me this song is depressing😭 but at the same time beautiful. I heard this in 1993 less than a year out of the Army. God where the heck did 30 years go?🙁😞😟

[@markhagerman1837]

I ETS’d from the Army in 94. Cheers, brother.

[@kesleycottrell1416]

It was a sad day when her voice was silenced.

[@elegantirony78]

I knew Amber would love this. Female Friday is tomorrow! Here are some other amazing female voices of the 90s. Mazzy Star (Hope Sandoval) - Fade Into You, Sarah McLachlan - Possession, The Cowboy Junkies (Margo Timmons) - Common Disaster, Zero 7 (Sophie Barker) - Destiny (2001)

[@chrisberntgen3239]

Nice! Would like to hear The Sundays too.

[@averagepolishguy3730]

If they do Fade Into You it’s gotta be that live 10/2/1994 performance that’s on KZbin

[@oarueff]

Anything from the Cowboy Junkies Trinity album.

[@portugirl71]

Would love to hear these

[@1177kc]

Jazzy Star is someone I need more of on my playlist.

[@jackie_jrml]

Check out Sarah McLachlan… Possession. That intro is so captivating. (Just listen to her vocals don’t watch the video). Then her second album Surfacing is beautiful!! Angel is a tearjerker.

[@joiedevivre2005]

Dolores O' Riordan sang from her raw, beautiful soul & could convey more emotion in one note than most singers can in an entire song. I love all her songs, but "God Be With You Ireland" is probably my favorite. It tears at my Irish soul. RIP Dolores.

[@Lane2268]

Ode to My family, Daffodil Lament, Don't Analyze, I can't be with you, Promises, God Save Ireland. Love Dolores, She was such an incredible talent. Still sad over her passing.

[@UncleGwendolyn]

Daffodil Lament is my personal favourite.

[@pnutbutrncrackers]

The essence of melancholy, in the most precious sense of the word. Will always be very touching. One of my two favorite Cranberries songs.

[@ohfour-seven6228]

Such a great song from one of Ireland's finest! I'm so glad both of you love The Cranberries!

[@birchandmorley]

This song really connects with me on a spiritual level. What an amazing singer! RIP Dolores.

[@jaimegarcia6114]

[@mattdemo7173]

Both of the 1st 2 Cranberries albums; "Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?" and "No Need To Argue" are both top to bottom masterful albums. Dolores had one of the most enduring singing styles and some of the most soulful lyrics out there. Discovering this music in my youth was such a major gift that keeps on giving.

[@biillc7968]

From some of the darkest message songs to the most ethereal love songs the Cranberries could do it all. Thank you for sharing this.

Another great Irish band of the 90s and the 2000s The Corrs an Irish family band that combine pop rock with traditional Irish themes within their music. The group consists of the Corr siblings, Andrea (lead vocals, tin whistle, ukulele), Sharon (violin, keyboards, vocals), Caroline (drums, percussion, piano, bodhrán, vocals) and Jim (guitar, piano, keyboards, vocals).

Hey guys, just wanted to extend my appreciation for your channel. I've seen at least 100 of your reactions by now over the past year to some of my favorite songs, but after you two described the journey you have been on musically the past year, it felt like I needed to say "thank you" at least once. You guys are at the top of my music reaction channel content creators, and as you know, there must be 100s of them. It speaks to how well you present your videos, your chemistry and your sincerity. And just to quickly mention this song in particular, it is fitting to leave a comment now, because this is one of those tracks I love listening to all the time. Its just a beautiful piece of music and special as it was the first "hit" for the Cranberries. A band I didn't give enough credit to in the moment, because at that age, I was into more aggressive-sounding music. As the years go by though, Dolores' voice just gets better every time I hear it. Such an amazing talent she was. One of my biggest regrets as a fan of live music was never giving myself a chance to see her perform live. A one-in-a-billion voice, and I may be estimating too low.
