If this song doesn't throw you back in time, no song will. Love her voice.

Dolores' incredible voice, along with the band's distinctive sound captivated me from the first listen.. They have a lot of great songs to listen to!

Indeed! I just did a reaction video for Linger and it's just as good. Fantastic band.

Do you ever listen to a song and it takes you back to a very special time in your life? This is one of those songs for me. I was still living in Ireland at the time and had the most amazing bunch of friends. I was studying for my degree and life was great. Best time of my life!

Oh yeah, for sure Alan! I have lots of songs like that. I love how music is so closely tied with memories. Thank you for the comment!

This was their breakout song off of Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? Then Zombie came along a year later off of No Need To Argue. EVERY song on BOTH albums is amazing, which is rather rare.

There were a few albums in the 90`s that were great from track 1 until the end...Counting Crows "August And Everything After" is one, as is Alanis Morrissette`s "Jagged Little Pill" album...

That chorus omg, chills everytime

Linger was their First Hit in the States. I'm a Linger girl - No Zombie for me.

A very round sound. Impossible not to love this.

I wasn't in to vocals back in the 80's, 90's ... then heard O'Riordan and refocused.

Cranberries we’re such a favorite in college onward! Saw in concert Dec. 1994 at Beacon theater in NYC! Best show ever. RIP Delorea

Absolute masterpiece 👏. R.I.P Dolores

This was their first hit on their first album. The song that MTV and college radio promoted like crazy. Delores was the talent of the band. Her magical voice, song writing, and music oriented family background. She played the church organ since she was 12 and also played guitar. The boys had only been playing for a few years at this point. RIP Delores ❤️

I love this song.

Love her voice

I liked your comment "I actually think I like this song better [than Zombie]" after the video. That's exactly how I felt each time I heard a song by The Cranberries I hadn't heard before. I was too young to really listen or appreciate them in the 90s and only discovered them during this pandemic while in lockdown. Zombie was the first track I heard, Linger second. I would highly recommend listening to a few more of their tracks (reacting or even just to listen offline) that all sound completely different much like this song compared to Zombie. I'd recommend Dreams next (a chorus-less song that's got tempo to it and showcases Dolores' keening style of singing). Then Ode To My Family which also presents Dolores' vocals perfectly in a slower style song. My personal favourite song When You're Gone would be my final recommendation as it's another track that's completely different to all the others I've mentioned but there's many many others too. RIP Dolores, what a wonderful voice and to think she wrote Linger as a 17 year old when joining the band shows how talented her songwriting was from such a tender age. Such an underrated band but thankfully KZread helps new audiences discover them to enhance the band's legacy.

God I miss her. RIP Delores, RIP.

My three favorites are Dreams, Zombie, Twenty One. Dreams is a mini masterpiece.

Jebus, her voice was so unique and pure, the Irish lilt is just so ethereal. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

Love this song 😍👍

So many musicians and singers from the 90s passed away before there time..but Dolores's passing a few years ago got me so emotional..what a beautiful soul

You MUST react to their song Dreams!!!

Very "Art School Girlfriend" vibe. Love your reaction & honest comments! New sub. 👍✌️🙏

Definitely check out Dreams and Ode To My Family and maybe When You're Gone and Promises too by The Cranberries

Thank you Rockstar, love the way you reacted to this video, you are one of the few who didn't pause the video, thank you for that, I like when you speak during it - without pausing, wish other reactors would follow your ways, keep up the good work, love from Ireland

Top reaction my friend the cranberries are very underrated. Zombie has a much greater meaning as its about the loss of children during the troubles in northern ireland were over 4000 people died and nearly 50,000 maimed. It is dedicated to two little boys blown up by an ira bomb in warrington england. Dolores detested all violence from all sides no matter what affiliation relegion or nationality you held.

I recommend to react to live versions of the cranberries where we can see and watch all the potential of Dolores!!!

La instrumentación de fondo es impecable .

The first time I heard song *"Linger"* was in a movie *"Click"* Starring Adam Sandler Actually the song comes Twice in the movie The song literally became anthem of the film

It was about a boy she met at a disco. Her first real kiss that lingered. The next weekend he walked past her and went for her friend, heartbreaking!

Ode to family is good too. Try sinade o Conner too

Dolores had the voice of an angel. And now that she has passed away, she is singing with the angels of heaven. Rest in eternal peace Dolores. ❤️

Awesome reaction! You've 👍🏻 exquisite taste in music bc this song is divine.

My favorite song from cramberries is "ode to my family ".

RIP Dolores. Voice of an angel

It's about her guy cheating on her and stringing her along as she stays faithful and fully devoted, he doesn't move on to let her go; he makes their relationship & lies linger.;)

'Liked'. Just on principle.

Some are confused about this song. This is from Songfacts: "Dolores O'Riordan wrote this song about her feelings following the breakup with her first boyfriend, the soldier who broke her heart. She said the song is about "the way I reacted to infatuation." Delores died by drowning due to alcohol intoxication in January 2018. And, your band sounds GREAT! Really great reaction, and so right on about the music going on in the background. That is my favorite part of this song! Thank you! ✌️Power on! 😃

Her music and words truly live on. Peace b with u. Dolores M. E. O'Riordan

DREAMS next:) cranberries are LEGENDARY… RIP DOLORES

Dolores forever young!

That’s Limerick city kiiiiid

How can someone had never listened to Linger ?

Video is a imagine crossroads to real film "Alphaville"

Dolores ... a wonderful soul who went away too early. I had the chance to see the band live 25 years ago. It was a very special event for me. I also like her solo tracks very much, especially 'Black Widow'. Matt, maybe you are interested to react to that as well. kzread.info/dash/bejne/oXylubWiqMvAh7A.html

@@MattFarkas sorry didn't mean to offense you. Maybe we are from diff culture. In my country at 90s, our only source to see vid clip from the bands either its metal / pop is from MTV or local TV and they always play Linger from Cranberries. Dont know bout others, but I could let the TV on for hours waiting for my fav bands. So yeah I'm quite familiar with other genre thats not my taste. That time i dont have enough cash to buy all the records. And at that time Cranberries is one of the mainstream band in my country. Maybe because of that, I made that statement. Once again, diff culture.

The Cranberries are awesome. Worth listening to not just the well known hits. There are very few tracks that aren't just as good as this. Imagine being 17 years old, cheating on your girlfriend and she write a song about your betrayal that the entire world gets to hear. Apparently he subsequently apologised. RIP Dolores.

How much beautiful music we missed because she was taken from us so early. R. I. P. Dolores As far as I know, this was a real life song. Her boyfriend lied to and betrayed her.

Delores left us , way too soon......

Sia Chandelier reaction

I could never understand how the video relates to the song.

Only finger and linger rhyme in this song almost

Can you please react to Garbage song called Magnetized Please

The strings get me. This song doesn’t hold a candle to W A P. By Cardi B though! Lol. Can we have a top 40 where people actually sing instead of talk and sample old songs. ?

Can you please react to Poe song called Haunted. Please

I recommend you to react to the new Sabaton song called Royal Guard.

Song written about the death of two children Tim Parry aged 12 and Jonathen Ball aged 3, blown up by and IRA bomb as they walked by a public bin outside McDonnald's on 26th February 1993 in Warrington England. Very Sad, Peace to us all now and forever between Ireland and the UK. And may all who died from both sides now rest in peace believing that this war between our nations is over and is gone forever.

You can’t compare zombie to dreams or linger. Zombie is way more powerful with a message that hits your core. Linger and Dreams have softer more angelic sounds and set an entirely different mood.

I've rarely heard a better example of how some bands/"musicians" make it virtually impossible to discern what the singers lyrics are. This is quite awful; if your lyrics suck and you need vocals just hum.

Она давно не в той теме. С ее депресняком от смерти отца, развода и потерей детей, которых присудили мужу из за ее нестабильной психики, сложно не выпивать.

There are basically 3 types of songs in classical pop music. 1. She loves him, but he doesn't love her. Those suck. 2. He loves her, but she doesn't love him. Sucks too. 3. She loves him and he loves her. Those are just total rubbish :D Dolores could really sing well, true, the genre is just not my cup of tea.. Cheers :)

How often do hear that these days? It’s a little troubling to think about considering of the number of narcissistic Taylor Swift “were are never ever getting back together” songs out there.

Dolores wrote this as a teenager about her first love. It is a real song of how she was feeling at the time, not a constructed pop song. So there is a big difference for me between "love songs" written in a pop factory for money and real life depth. Incidentally the guy this song is about apologised for his poor behaviour. Gotta feel sorry for him though. He was also just a teenager and now the whole world knows he cheated on his girlfriend who ended up being one of the biggest musical stars in the world.
