Zombie- The Cranberries (Reaction)

[@MrSinnerBOFH]

This song is just amazing. The singer, the recently lost Dolores O'Riordan, sings in a traditional Irish style. When this song came out it blew everybody's mind by the music, lyrics, message and style. RIP Dolores!

"Zombie" is a protest song by Irish alternative rock band the Cranberries. It was written by the lead singer, Dolores O'Riordan, about the young victims of a bombing in Warrington, England, during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. The bombings happened on 30 March 1993, as two IRA improvised explosive devices hidden in litter bins were detonated in a shopping street in Warrington, England. Two people; Johnathan Ball, aged 3, and Tim Parry, aged 12, were killed in the attack. 56 people were injured. Ball died at the scene of the bombing as a result of his shrapnel-inflicted injuries, and five days later, Parry lost his life in a hospital as a result of head injuries. O'Riordan decided to write a song that reflected upon the event and the children's deaths after visiting the town.

Can’t add anymore to this other than this event was a driver in leading to the peace process when the labour government came to power in 1997. The song is amazing and should be heard everywhere.

Hi Nic. This is indeed a very powerful and moving song (see the number of views on the video) about The Troubles in Northern Ireland, which I see others here have now explained to you. I could see how stunned and bewildered you were to hear it and watch the accompanying video for the first time, without understanding the background or significance. Now you know.

An iconic song from the 90s that will never be forgotten. A lot of 90s songs are epic!

I love the original version but breed77's cover it blew my mind. The most intresting part of this song for me is it's only 3 chords song Gminor Fminor Fmajor and still is so powerful. Helios from Greece.

If you want to hear a wild and crazy and AWESOME song, listen to “Gotta Keep A Runnin’” by The Godz from their 1979 debut album. They were kind of a Biker Rock Band. It’s EPIC and fun! IT RECEIVED A LOT OF RADIO PLAY! THE STONERS LOVED IT. Link below. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pWOmq4miq8mYjs0si=YIPzJ892eSF7E8R-
