Dolores wrote this song during her first time in North America with the band, in 1993 I think. The song expresses the sadness that Dolores felt when she separated from her family to become a rock star and how alone she felt on that occasion. The song also recalls the happiness of her childhood and how she misses it.

Dolores wrote this in the states for a long time and feeling alone and isolated from her family, fearful that her peers in the deprived area in which she grew up and loved would abandon her.

You did great loved your reaction. RIP Delores, we miss you. 💜

Every time I hear Dolores sing I tear up, I just wish she could have been with us still 😢 It’s a beautiful song and relatable with, I think you got the idea of what it’s about, nice interpretation. Look after yourself, I hope you’re not overdoing things! Make sure that you’re getting some quality “you” time!

Me too, she’s so talented! And thank you Darrell!

Her unique vocals bring me back to my youth. Sadly, she's gone so fast

Its a lamenting song...missing her family, missing the innocence of her childhood.

A really enjoyable reaction. To me the song encapsulates the bittersweet irony of how having a stable and loving upbringing gives you the confidence to leave it and go out into the world (the idea of parents’ role being to give their children roots to grow but then wings to fly).

"We were raised to see life as fun" - This is what we need to get back to, we've forgotten how to have fun and not feel guilty about it. Thank you for reacting to this Jenna, a koality reaction as always.

You too Rafa, thanks!! 🤍

Oh Dolores, you were so wonderful to listen to. So missed. There is an Irish woman who gives you the same feeling as Dolores, called Janet Devlin, depending on the song. She did a version of Zombie that gives you the same chills that Dolores does.

Nobody can sing like Dolores. May she rest in peace.

Sweet song, gorgeous Jenna

Hard to watch since Dolores passed, but it is so beautiful. I'm a 66 year old classic rock fan who happily stumbled onto The Cranberries.

Actually. " When your gone.".would love to see your reaction

Great reaction! Please react to Zombie official music video by the Cranberries. Dolores is haunting in zombie! Dolores is truly missed! God bless her! 😢

React to promises live in Paris of the cranberries ❤❤❤ its powerful😊

Have you watched his concert live in Chicago?

Good interpretation! "Does anyone care" definitely feels like when you're thrown out into the world and sometimes feel like it's very much a dog eat dog world. oh wait I was supposed to criticize. HOW DARE YOU NOT INTERPRET THE LYRICS **EXACTLY** THE WAY THEY WERE MEANT TO BE INTERPRETED omg bro

It's perfectly obvious what this song is about. I don't really get the ambiguity.

Why does it look like you’re on the verge of tears?… Are you alright? 😕

Hahaha did I? I wasn’t at all! But I was getting over a cold so maybe my eyes are just sleepier than normal. 🫠

Please dont do the same reaction videos to all of their mainstream songs(if you intend to do another). You have a great insight into this song. Give - No need to argue, The daffodils Lament a listen. So much more depth to this band. Bit of trivial ...the band was originally called "The Cranberry Saw Us"...later changed to the Cranberries because of how corny the original name was when you said it fast.

Poor lyrics. Confusing

It's about kids being able to go outside and play.
