This song is credited by many Irish and Brits for helping to stop the guerrilla terrorist war between the Catholics and the Protestants in Northern Ireland.

It was overdue that both sides forgave each other and moved on from the violence and murder. Love the Cranberries!

Also The pogues, to hell or to connacht about the cromwellian dictatorship is brushed under the carpet. That is part of why we chose to rise up against the english in the first place.

I first heard this song about a decade ago in a history class. My teacher was a fan and to accompany a lesson about the relevant conflict in Ireland, he played this song. It really stuck with me. Probably helped me pass the test on the subject. I'd only learned of her death recently, but it really changed how I react when hearing this song. I don't like it any less, but an extra element of sorrow that wasn't expressed in that way before just permeates throughout it. I also found the cover that Bad Wolves made of this after learning of her death and I started crying listening to it since they said she'd intended to provide some form of performance as part of it, but died that very day.

I was kind of old school technologically, at the time, but when this came out, they appeared on Saturday Night Live. The TV I owned had an auxiliary set up and my stereo had an auxiliary set up, so I connected the two with patch chords. When they performed Zombie, I was able to record the SNL performance onto cassette tape. I had that for quite awhile. I bet not too many people had a cassette recording of that live performance. She just died way too young, and this was, definitely one of the most unique songs in rock. I don’t know if it can ever be recreated. That vocal technique is not completely unique, but it is hard to do, and she mastered it. I knew there was some reason that her death is extra memorable to me, and researching, I saw that she died the day before my birthday. I wish she wasn’t gone, but, that day of her death is an important day in the US. It is the birthday of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. She picked a day that millions will remember. Just another reason to remember a talented singer.

Yeah, no. That's completely incorrect. Most likely they would be an indie rock band, since major labels don't normally sign bands with this type of music these days. On top of that, indie rock bands aren't typically known for using autotune. Autotune is something used by pop and hip hop music, which this is very clearly not so your comment makes no sense anyway. Not trying to be a dick but I am so sick of misinformed, musically illiterate nostalgia-baiting comments like this one popping up on every KZbin video for every single song that came out before 2004. Cool, you like older music better than newer music. Doesn't mean everything today is "autotuned", that is so fucking ignorant and insulting to every current artist making actual good music right now.

@@joematthews6063 I could go on to list several people who are using auto-tune in the rock/metal side of things as well. Auto-tune is actually very pervasive, it doesn't have to be the "auto-tune the whole thing" line you see in pop/hip hop but you don't get to hear the small imperfections in singers voices that make them human in almost anything done today. I would love to spend more time on this topic but it's nearly 5 am and I have to get some rest for several videos today I need to shoot.

In general it is band itself who decide would they Autotune the song, they would have the option to do it but it would not been mandatory. There are lots of people who use it but it is their choice. I personally think that Dolores would never agree on something like that. But what I am convinced in is that they would have lots of problems making the video for official version of the song now released. It would be "too problematic"....

I am Irish and absolute feel so proud. So much pride and I still love you too Beth.

Yeq crazy how she was going to collab with bad wolves for their cover and on her way to record when she hqd her untimely accident.

[@Wraithlen]

One of my favorite vocalists ever. I just felt like she connected with me in a raw, visceral sense. So sad she's gone.

[@Levi_Amongst_the_Watchers]

My favorite of theirs is Dreams. I sing it to my girlfriend all the time, it's such a beautiful song.

[@danielbarbosadejesus397]

I heard this song... I cry.... Thank you, Beth !!

[@chrisleyva9372]

IM GLAD YOU ACEPT THAT YOU NEVER GOING TO GET NEAR CLOSE TO THE VOCAL LEVELS THAT DOLORES HAVE .. SHE WAS A TRUE GENIOUS AND PERFOMANCE..

[@ryanguercio7061]

So glad I got to see them live. She is an amazing person and we were lucky to have her.

Without Beth, KZbin would be a boring place.

[@willswalkingwest7267]

I really really love listening to Dolores O'Riordan singing. I was so sad when she passed. I never got to see the Cranberries live but at least we have all of those wonderful recordings. RIP Ma'am!

[@flaviojosefo7130]

I have never seen a singer who treats his songs with as much love as Dolores did

[@paulfiorino7463]

Beth: Your videos are fascinating and very educational. Thank you and Good Job!
