Why are you dressed as zombies?! This song has nothing to do with what you are portraying as a zombie. This is rediculous! If you don't understand a songs meaning don't cover it. Especially something so significant.

I can't believe I just found this.. This entire thing is a masterpiece, starting with Audra's killer vocals (and makeup) and continuing with the awesome musicianship of the instrumentalists. Huuuge round of applause for you guys.

[@brettfordlakecityiowa4301]

Although Audra credits herself as the songs author..... I am only stating this ......factually so. Because I know. I just do... That Audra, did not, in fact, compose the lyrical or instrumental structure of the song. It is and always has been a true pain to my heart, knowing she has publicly and privately taken on the role, demeanor, and mental occupation.....of storytelling . In public . In voice, and in person. As a way of life. Making another person's reality, her own. It's sad, it's sick, and it's just ......time to call this a wrap. And no. I'm not the author , either. Jobi was. A jobi, that lived it. In reality. Until the IRA flat murdered him in broad daylight. Now you know.

The song is about the ‘troubles’ in Northern Ireland and Ireland in the 20th century. The song was written as an anti-war song to protest the killing of two children by a bomb

[@Messala91]

Easter Rising 😔

[@tSp289]

@@Messala91 It references the Easter rising, but it's about the Troubles, specifically when a Provisional IRA bomb exploded in a shopping street in England and killed two boys aged 3 (who was buying a mother's day card) and 12, and injured 50+ shoppers. That, and the brutal repression by British/Loyalists... the point is 'What are you thinking? What's wrong with you?' to both sides. A friend of mine's dad is English and his mum Irish, and they were living in Ireland at the time. He had to sleep with a shotgun under the bed (and that is not at all usual in Britain or Ireland, also illegal in most cases), not because of the locals, who were really friendly and accepting, but because they were afraid some thug involved in the politics would decide to make an example of them, as they'd been threatened a few times. Didn't work, they're still together and living in Wales.

[@michaelyork6924]

@@tSp289 wow that's rough and hell :( I knew it was a protest about war, but I didnt realise the in depth meaning behind the song. The things that happen in this world that are caused by us humans (but only a select few) really makes me angry and sad 😢 What makes ite even worse is that Dolores has moved on from this world. May she rest in peace and also all those that lose their lives in any wars. Truly upsetting

[@Fin_Ale]

David Wong yeah, the Easter Rising was in 1916, about 30 years before the Troubles properly started

[@ChosenOne-jk6go]

Ale x you are correct, It’s to protest the Irish Republican Army which is just another terrorist group!!

[@henryallan9167]

I always enjoy this song as music and a 'work' , some years later when I realised it was a pleading protest song, it added another dimension. She was a wonderful artist Dolores O'Riordan. And the Cranberries' sound remains unique. Great cover, well done.

[@Fin_Ale]

Romen Kay Well, th song does reference 1916, it is more referring to the period known as The Troubles, which was a prolonged period of around 40 years of violence from about 1950-late 1990s.

"In your head, they're still fighting" It's past tense. They are still seeing and experiencing the things that happened and have become a zombie. Similar to American veterans that came home from Vietnam.

Another review of this fine group of artists... When Bad Wolves redid this song, it was overplayed, time and time again, and I felt as if the vocals and musical score did not capture the true element/backstory of the original song, and the artist's intention for it. However, First To Eleven takes a shot at it, and nailed it spot on. The emotional powerhouse of her voice that graces this cover is nothing short of amazing. She captures the message and delivers 100%. Beautifully done, masterfully delivered. First To Eleven has become one of my new, favorite groups to enjoy!

Honestly, I was terrified of listening to the cover ever since I figured you were doing it by Audra's post. It's such an iconic song I felt it could be such a let down to hear a very clean and polished version of it considering how strong Dolores' voice was. But I'm so happy to find I have goosebumps on my arms. My favourite cover of yours although I'd gone without the zombie makeup considering the actual meaning of the song.

[@matthewhirons3575]

Very much this, the last sentence. Though I suspect that the many years of relative peace since the signing of the GFA means awareness of the full meaning of the lyrics to people, who may have not even born at that time, has not developed or has been lost, particularly for populations not directly affected by the 'Troubles'. I would hope that it has resonances for all those affected by the violence begot by sectarianism of whatever source in this present day.
