@all most of the time I have a decent amount to say, and will voice my opinion on a song and/or what I think its about. However, I can't really say as much when I listen to the cranberries. I think it has something to do with Dolores not being with us anymore. I get a little emotional and can't really say as much. Either way, I hope you enjoy the reaction.

I think many of us get what you're trying to say. Dolores' voice sounds haunting and ethereal, while simultaneously familiar and utterly foreign. There's something about it that "alerts" our primal being, if that makes any sense? She was a beautiful, misunderstood banshee. We are poorer without her presence. ♡

It's her accent that maybe grabs you. The Irish accent is great.
The official video is as brilliant and powerful as the music. The images make this even more intense, if you can believe it. Devastating. Raw. They did their part to help end the IRA bombings and restore peace with song. It crushed the world.
I've heard this song hundreds of times since it came out and it still has the power to make me cry. Her voice is haunting, the lyrics piercing, the inspiration behind it gut wrenching.

@haydeeze Fantastic comment, perfection, thank you, love from Ireland xx
This song hits deep and hard EVERY time. Gives me chills and tears. She is SO awesome of a singer!!
I love the fact that Dolores told the drummer to play the drums as violently as he could. Also, that she ripped up a $1 million dollar check to not release the song.
This came out in ‘94, the Troubles ended in ‘98. I have to believe that this song helped bring an end to it.
She called us zombies, because we are, we've become too warn and numb to war and it's consequences.
One of the best vocalist there was. You could feel her pain when she sang. So sad she couldn't outrun her demons. Rest in Power Dolores
This is one of the greatest songs period.
She had the ability to project her feelings and pain in her voice. That's why you feel it so much. Very few singers can do this. Those who can, and did, will be eternal.
Her vocals are heartfelt with grief and anger. Irish “keening” mothers grief made when wee babies are blown up
Being of Irish ancestry both sides of my family, from Boston, growing up 60s/70s/80s. Knowing of the Northern Irish troubles, and though far removed from them in the US. There were sides taken, and as happens when you grow older, different outlooks, and recognizing that stupidity was the reason for too long a time of strife and hurt. That being said, the very first time I heard the first stanza of lyrics to this incredible song, I could tell exactly what it was about. The lyrics mid song: It’s the same old theme. Since nineteen-sixteen. Absolutely, for me crystallized the feelings of how long, stupid, and sad the “troubles” were. There are many who understand the history inside the lyrics to this song, that feel the same way. Delores struck an emotional nerve for many people in this masterpiece.
the official video for this song has such an impact
Can't believe you are not showing the world-famous video !
Her voice was something of legend...sorely missed
Bad Wolves did an amazing cover of this song that you should listen to. Dolores O'Riordan was supposed to perform the song with them when she tragically died. The Bad Wolves, upon learning of her death, were reluctant to release the song but decided to anyway and donated the proceeds form the song to her children. First you should watch the official video of the Cranberries version so you will understand the visuals in the Bad Wolves version.

I've always reacted in just the same way brother. Tear up every time when I hear Delores. It's all that soul, and pain, and honesty, expressed in that voice - AND the "keening", the Irish traditional vocalizing, just kills me.

I absolutely ❤️ The Cranberries. I’m half Cherokee Indian/Irish. Though my moms side came from Ireland in the early 1900s my Grandma and Great Grandparents still talked with a strong Irish accent. The impact of Delores’s death completely devastated me. In her passing not only the music scene.. the world as a whole lost a great person but her soul I see still lives STRONG #LegendsNeverDie🇮🇪

It is her voice, it's amazing
A bit of a tip: if a song has his own wiki page, it's PROBABLY A BIG DEAL.
You need to listen to this song with the video... 100%
The video is equally incredibly buddy. The song was written by Dolores on the back of the Irish troubles predominately the IRA who had planted a bomb in a metal rubbish bin, outside a McDonald’s on a busy Saturday morning before Mother’s Day. It ultimately detonated injuring 100’s and killing two children aged 13, and 3.
No one can connect with the content like she can. It reverberated to so many, not just in Ireland. It is power.

The troubles were in Northern Ireland, not Ireland. But yes, she instils a tremendous amount of emotion to the topic regardless of your knowledge of the topic
Having grown up during the troubles, this one always hits hard. Thank you for checking it out.
Such a shame that you didn't react to the official music video, in which the imagery is just as powerful as the song itself, particularly the crucified angel children screaming as another child gets killed in the war. That scene hits people hard. As others have already commented, the song was written in response to the deaths of two little boys in Warrington, England, who were blown up by an IRA bomb while out, it is said, buying a Mother's Day card. Hence the lyric "Another mother's breaking heart is taking over ..." It is important to understand that the bombing was by the IRA, who, like the Cranberries, are Irish, while the children who were killed were English (the "enemy", in the minds of the IRA), so the song is politically neutral regarding the conflict over Northern Ireland and is just calling for an end to the violence. To add to the tragedy of the song, two decades later, singer Dolores drowned in the bath in a hotel room, after heavy drinking. Note also that the IRA were responsible for several high profile terrorist attacks, including the assassination in 1979 of Lord Mountbatten, a senior member of the British Royal Family. The IRA have however calmed down quite a bit in recent decades.

The live version (Paris 1999) at least showed there had been progress, largely due to the Good Friday Agreement the previous year. Though some splinter groups still continue a campaign. It must be noted for context that it was not simply a case of the IRA bombing British places, the UVF had been pretty active over the years, like the Dublin & Monaghan co-ordinated bombings ( which was the largest fatality count of the Troubles), and just after this song was released, they also killed 6 people in a pub for watching a football game.

It’s also important to understand that it wasn’t just the IRA causing 💩
So perceptive Amy reaction to this song seems to be common place . She sings in the old Irish voice primal in nature and dives to your souls inner core . Doesn't matter who you are you will have an emotional response.
This was my favorite band as a kid and one of the few things my Father and I saw eye to eye on. He sadly passed away when I was a teen and Dolores the lead singer passed away a number of years ago so its been a bit tough for awhile coming back and listening to this music for me. Thank you so much for letting us see and experience your journey with this band, it means so much to me seeing you moved and enjoying the same music that has touched me all these years. If you like these songs so far there are many more that you will also love along the way, I can't wait to see what you do next if you continue exploring this wonderful band! Best of luck with your channel my friend!

The way she sings is called Keening It's a traditional Irish way of expressing Grief this is a song about the Troubles in Ulster but this was in response to the death of two young boys in Warrington England Killed by an IRA Bomb played in a street litter bin.they were on their way to buy a mother's day Card, You should watch the official Video it realy puts the song in context, we now have sadly lost Delores bless her RIP.
One of the greatest vocalists of all time and the entire band pull out the stops in this powerful and emotional performance. RIP Dolores O'Riordan
The musicianship on that song is so damn good.
The sound of all the instruments is so quintessentially Irish. Makes me think of being really drunk and staring up at the ceiling of an old pub.

The Cranberries did an amazing performance on Tiny Desk Concerts ( on YT ) Oh, Dolores, your power lives on. RIP
You should really watch the video...it makes it that much more powerful!!
She has the voice of an Angel. 😇🧝🏻♀️
Her voice is hauntingly ethereal.
The video for this song illustrates the lyrics so well. Strongly encourage you to watch it.
The video is heart breaking
The guitar riffs and solos that Dolores wrote and played on this track make it special too. Direct from head to song interface is the unique talent Dolores had. Always felt like you spent time right in her mind when listening to a track.
Oh maaaan, you GOTTA watch the music video!!!
The Cranberrys were a great band, but I was not into them back in the 90's. I've heard this song a million times and only recently listened to it. I love these reactions because it hits hard when you hear the words, but if you're not listening to them you can just nod your head and tap your foot. R.I.P. Delores
My music of choice is country but every so often a song from a different genre pops up which I recognise is brilliant.This is one of those songs.

Its one of these unique songs. I have heard it hundrets of times, but everytime, it feels like the very first time.

Her voice is amazing in every song but this is a true story
This song was huge in Australia. I remember watching and hearing it for the first time. It is catchy, nd the message is unfortunately still relevant today.
If you watch the video, it‘s even more intense. 25 years later, there is at least currently no more bombing in Northern Ireland thanks to the Good Friday Agreement. However, the Brexit threatens to make things worse again. They’re still fighting… RIP Dolores!
I love seeing the respect for her music.
🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪 makes me proud to come from Ireland 🇮🇪🇮🇪
The inflection in her voice is Galic Irish Keeing from what I understand....
She her voice is CAPTIVATING ❤
The "troubles" confronted by a special woman with the power of music.
It feels almost strange when you happen upon someone who's only hearing Zombie for the first time as an adult. It's also kinda strange to see a reaction video to the song which doesn't actually involve a person watching the video clip. Haha. Dolores was very unique and gifted. Do Gematria? "Dolores O'Riordan Cuts Through To Soul" ;)
Seeing the official video will make a bigger impression.
Her voice was so incredible

The music video for "Zombie" was banned by the BBC because of its "violent images".[83][84] It was also banned by the RTÉ, Ireland's national broadcaster.
This voice is life in the veins, it feeds me since 1999. I met her few times she was completely out of this world, simple and sweet as her art
Salvo her vocals and voice were one of a kind! Truly moved me became a huge fan!
I love the cranberries soo much! Dreams was my wedding aisle song. I am just shocked that you’ve really never heard these before?!
Thank you 💚🇮🇪💚
She has a cry to her voice
The video is brilliant. I read it was actual footage of the war in Ireland at that time.
It is her magical voice❤
(No need to argue)is one of there shortest songs but one of the most powerful. RIP beautiful angel
Thank you for your reaction, I remember when this song came out and it was a bit different from the rest of their songs, but it was truly great and powerful and heavy rock song. Dolores O'Riodan was an extraordinary singer and she is deeply missed, she gave us some pretty amazing music. This song is about terrorism and war, what can be more timely' in the 90's the Troubles in Ireland was something almost random and remote, but in the decades since both have become an every day thing. In that way, this song was also very prescient about our time, even more than 1994. R.I.P. Dolores.
I like that you do your research before hitting play. This song is hauntingly beautiful
Watch the video! Whether on your own time or on this channel. Your emotions will heighten. If you react to another song of theirs, try LINGER, FREE TO DECIDE, or YELLOW SKIES. thanks for the reaction. Keep smiling 🤘 🙂
Masterpiece
It's the pain in the song dude....
You really should have done the video. Who ever did not tell you that did you a disservice. I hope you check it out. It's impactful imagery along with this astounding musicianship.
While it's been 20 years since I've been with my friend's old band, got to see them play again last weekend and they covered the Cranberries. While their new singer isn't Delores, she did a really good job. I've loved Cranberries since back in the 90s and this song hits harder the older I get.
My favorite song Salvo! They are my favorite band and her vocals, are so awesome!!! God miss her
Video is amazing & adds a whole new dimension to the song....
I love your way of reaction. The way you navigate through the song is unlike any other reactors. I really appreciate your approach!! Great channel!!!
RIP Dolores i miss you
I luv her voice, but the bass singer underneath makes the whole song a work of art
A song never sounds the same without the visual. Unless you're lying back singing your lungs out
" All that is necessary for evil to thrive, is for good Men to do nothing." A quote attributed to Albert Einstein. This song makes me think of that, like she is calling us all zombies, and she's right. I know her words about it suggest it is about a specific incident in a specific war. Such a powerful message from a Mother it feels like. Best rock song I've ever heard I think. So strange, but beautiful. Rocks hard. When the violence causes silence who are we mistaken? We cower intellectually from any responsibility or thought of progress on that subject, we excuse it, we even excuse the racket it is, the greed of powerful people we do it for. It ain't us, our families. But it is on us. We know who runs the world, and to what means, until we are asked to do something about it. A lot of human society is geared toward escaping, playing pretend, avoiding substantive downer conversations. So we do what comes easy to us. Don't worry, I've seen many a reactor defeated by this song, you'll be beaten down intellectually and right as rain, not ready to tackle any evil, by morning.
I'm glad you chose to watch the music video, as if not i would be yelling at you to watch it !! I am from the town Warrington and this song is held very high in our hearts here.
I appreciate that you share a little background research about the song and band before going into the music. Many reactors end up misunderstanding contexts unnecessarily and it hurts their reactions. Good stuff!
Video reaction mate...it gives you goosebumps.
I think what's getting to you about their songs is the passion with which they are sung... I've been listening to this song since it was released and every time it brings a tear to my eye.. I'm British and know exactly what she is singing about and I'm also old enough (yes, another old git here).. to be in my mid 20's in the 1970's when the troubles in Northern Ireland escalated to shootings and bombings and the British Army had to occupy Northern Ireland fron 1969 to 2007 to try to stop it... of course it didn't and the religious sectarianism is still there but ever since the Good Friday agreement the violence has stopped... (mainly). Ireland has been a hotbed of problems for the British for centuries and this song highlights the reality of the ordinary man's suffering.... IN MY OPINION.. Keep on Rocking.
This song along with the incredible official video always breaks me
