Dolores wrote this following the IRA murder of 3 young boys when they left bombs in bins on a street in England. Dolores was touring England at the time and wrote this song in protest of the terrorist bombings and ongoing conflict in Northern Ireland. They're Zombies because all they know growing up is violence and vengeance and it's turned them into unthinking zombies. This song may have actually helped galvanise the peace process that was successful within a few years of its release. RIP Dolores taken too soon.

It's actually a criticism of both parties, if you look closely it says "with their tanks, and their bombs, and their guns." The IRA never had tanks, and the British government used "undemocratic" means on more than one occasion, treating Ireland like animals. And civilians on both sides (including children) died during all those years.

Dolores O'Riordian, RIP. This song was huge back in 1994. The collapse of the Berlin Wall in 1989 raised hopes that the conflict in Northern Ireland -- raging since 1916 -- might end as well. But not as long as the zombie ideas animating the conflict persisted, that is, ideas which come back to life after they have been seemingly killed off -- "In your head, in your head, they're still fightin'..." Another great Irish musical commentary on the troubles there and war in general, is U2's excellent 1983 album, War, featuring the songs "New Year's Day", "Sunday Bloody Sunday", and "Seconds" among others with war themes. When you're ready for more from The Cranberries, check out "Linger" and "Dreams" to start. Fire!

Not to get political but as someone of Irish decent I would ask you to learn a little about the struggle for Irish Independence. Highly recommend the films Michael Collins and Bloody Sunday. May Delores have found peace from the pain this world brought to her. ❤️

"When the violence causes silence we must be mistaken" is such an amazingly powerful line.

I'm from the North of Ireland (Ulster if you will), Belfast to be exact. I'm also Catholic. I'm 60 years old, and we moved to this country in 1974. We brought the stories of The Troubles with us, and I'm telling you, they still keep telling them. Half the time I don't think the people doing the telling even remember the specifics, but they repeat the stories anyway because we have to stay mad right? Hel, this all started in the 16th century with Crowell invading Ireland and claiming it as a Protestant English territory; we got most of it back but the North is still considered the UK. And the Troubles come and go. Sometimes they're worse than others. Dolores O'Riordon, may her soul rest in peace and love, wrote "Zombie" after hearing about the murder of 3 young boys who found bombs that the IRA left in bins on and English street. Being Catholic, am I supposed to cheer for that IRA murder as a "win" for "our side"? That's not what the IRA was intended for. It was intended as a resistance group because Catholics were being persecuted and killed by UK troops. But they've turned into a terrorist organization and that's not something I would ever support. This conflict isn't even about religion anymore, from what I can see. I'm no longer sure WHAT it's about. Some years it's quiet, and then there's an uprising and people are needlessly killed, and someone sends in a note claiming credit by the IRA or the other side. Usually, it's neither, it's just some a-hole. This isn't exclusive to Ulster, either. This kind of crap goes on all over the world, and it's because we can't learn to love each other. If it's not religion, it's skin color, or something else. But if you take a really close look, it always seems to be the poor fighting the poor. The wealthy are never in the streets doing the fighting. Why? Because they're the ones pitting us against each other. We're all the same. We need a global shift. It's ALWAYS been rich against poor, and the sooner we stop being blinded by the wealthy telling us it's about race or religion or anything else, and realize that they are the puppet masters and take our own power back, we will continue to destroy each other. We need to live in love. Sorry for the novel. I just get very heated about this subject.

@pixiecolors I came here to say the same but you articulated the message better than I ever could! I was born and raised in the North during the height of the troubles (I'm from South Derry). I support the original cause of the IRA, not the terrorist organisation it turned into, but they would not have existed if a Foreigner didn't enter our land and try to claim it. I went to a political debate once in an English university where we had politicians invited as guests representing both sides and I remember a university student from the west country (Devon/Cornwall area) standing up and said with conviction "maybe if we stayed out Ireland and leave them be then maybe they never would've had the torturous history and there would be much less destruction, death & hatred for us (the brits)". First time I heard an englishman speak some sense and he was only about 20/21. xx

They might not know the history, or at least not all of it, but they do seem to have a different perspective about the stupidity of what's going on in the world. Sometimes they annoy me endlessly, and then other times they give me hope for a better future, because of statements like that. All I know is that growing up until the age of 11 in Belfast in the 70s was nightmarish, and living with the stories of the history in America, especially in Brooklyn and Long Island, was pretty intolerable too, because nobody would let anything go, ever.

It may be a little heavy but I would recommend checking out "1984" by the band Slaughter To Prevail. They are deathcore metal, so very heavy & very aggressive, but the song is protesting the war in Ukraine by Russia which is powerful of this band because they are from Russia & their record label is from Ukraine. When Russia banned people from protesting the war, they released this song. The band had already moved out of Russia to live in Florida but their family & friends still live back home.

If you don’t get punched right in the feels listening to these lyrics you must not be human. One conflict to the next and nothing really changes but technology of the weapons used.

It wasn't released as a single in the US, which is why it wasn't in the Hot 100. Got a ton of airplay, on radio and MTV, and was alternative chart hit.

Thank you for reacting to this song ! Dolores wrote this song after my home town in England was hit by 3 bombs ! The first one failed and 2 terrorists were arrested and when the UK courts system refused to release them they set 2 more bombs in our town centre ! I was 14 at the time, when they placed the bombs on a highstreet which gets packed, especially on the day before Mothers day where families went shopping to buy Mothers their cards and gifts.. When the first bomb went off it sent all those still able to run straight into the second bomb, killing 2 children and injuring countless others myself included !! This song is held in the hearts of all that remember this day.. A day which still gives me nightmares both asleep and awake.. Again thank you for your reaction to this and RIP to Dolores, the people of Warrington will always keep you in their hearts ❤

Last name is pronounced Oh-Reer-dun (my last name as well, minus the “O”). Her singing style is called keening - a wailing sound of grief. Thanks for the reaction, and reading about 1916 Easter Rising, which sparked the modern independence movement would help with context, as well as “The Troubles”. Irish Catholic civil rights organizations in Northern Ireland modeled their protests after US Civil Rights in 60s. The history is deep, and the idea that the hatred is so entrenched is the theme of “Zombie”.

'Linger', 'Ode to My Family' which was the B-Side of the single 'Zombie', 'Dreams', 'Promises and 'Animal Instinct', though the 1st 4 were their greatest hits!

Her voice is so soothing. I always play them when I feel a little down or really hyper! Play some more by them! 🙂✌🤟

It was written about an IRA car bomb in Warrington,England that killed two schoolchildren….here’s what Delores said about why she wrote the song. “There were a lot of bombs going off in London and I remember this one time a child was killed when a bomb was put in a rubbish bin -- that's why there's that line in the song, 'A child is slowly taken,'" O'Riordan told Songwriting Magazine. "We were on a tour bus and I was near the location where it happened, so it really struck me hard - I was quite young, but I remember being devastated about the innocent children being pulled into that kind of thing. So I suppose that's why I was saying, 'It's not me' - that even though I'm Irish it wasn't me, I didn't do it. Because being Irish, it was quite hard, especially in the UK when there was so much tension." She told Vox magazine in 1994 that the song was written in part as a mechanism to grapple with her identity as an Irish citizen that did not support the actions of the IRA. "The IRA are not me. I'm not the IRA. The Cranberries are not the IRA. My family are not. ... When it says in the song, 'It's not me, it's not my family,' that's what I'm saying. It's not Ireland".

This is considered one of the top ten songs of the 90s decade song amd video great stuff

English occupation of Northern Ireland. "The troubles" song of protest over decades of fighting and death. Specifically, of two youn boys in Iraq bombing in early 1990s. Great song. Check out the softer stuff. Linger, ode to my family....are two songs to hear. 😂

Good reaction, thank you all. It is a protest song, the war between Ireland and the UK, the struggle to reunite Northern Ireland with the republic of Ireland from the hands of the British empire, not from the good English people themselves. Many innocent souls were lost, on both sides. After hearing about 2 more innocent boys getting killed by a bomb, Dolores RIP wrote this song in protest against all the violence and begged for a truce and peace. Please pray for the people in Gaza, Palestine etc. tonight. Peace

LOVED this reaction! Delores was much loved in Ireland. Technically the IRA was Irish, therefore this protest song was her going against what the 'Irish Freedom Fighters', and the English respected her for that. This era is over, there was a Peace Agreement made in the 90's, no doubt that this song helped shift the cultural view on the warfare. She is much missed!!!!

Being from Belfast and a child of the 90s, it touches you in place that people don’t understand. I was born in 88 and remember checkpoints all over Belfast, still to this day the world is cruel.

"Zombie" topped the charts in eight countries.[20][74] On 29 October 1994, the song went to No. 1 on the US Billboard Alternative Airplay chart, spending twenty-three weeks on the chart.[78][20] Australian audiences were "particularly gripped by the song". Triple J listeners voted for "Zombie" as No. 1 on the Triple J Hottest 100, 1994 chart,[74][79] one of the largest public music polls in the world,[80] establishing for the first time ever that a female vocalist won the Triple J Hottest 100.[74] On 18 December 1994, the song reached No. 1 on the ARIA Singles Chart, where it remained for seven consecutive weeks.[81][82] The single peaked at No. 1 and spent twenty eight weeks on the Official German Charts.[83] On 25 December 1994, the single debuted at No. 27 on the Ö3 Austria Top 40, and climbed to No. 2, where it stayed for eight weeks.[84] "Zombie" debuted on the French SNEP Top 100 at No. 4 on 25 February 1995. The following week, the single moved to No. 1; it spent nine consecutive weeks at the top and a total of twenty-four weeks on the singles chart.[85] Island Records declined the prospect of releasing "Zombie" as a single to US stores, stating they didn't want to run counter to the band's original ethos. Music critic Jon Bream of Star Tribune elaborated succinctly the label's analysis: "For the band, it's a question of credibility". Bream further noted that Island Records "simply didn't want the industry to typecast the Cranberries as a Top 40 act". After releasing the song, later in the year, the Cranberries affirmed their alternative identity, saying that they "didn't want to be considered just a pop band". Drummer Fergal Lawler said, "[t]hen you can go to the other extreme of being so alternative that no one buys your records. Luckily, we're kind of in the middle. We're a mix of pop, rock and alternative, I suppose".[39] After Cranberries' lead singer O'Riordan died in January 2018, "Zombie" charted at number 13 on the UK Singles Downloads Chart.[86] In 2023, the song saw a sales surge in the UK and Ireland during the 2023 Rugby World Cup; the song was played on speakers after every time the Irish team scored.[87] "Zombie" peaked at number 11 on the UK Singles Downloads Chart during this time.[88] This song charted all over the world. Zombie went to number 1on the US Alternative Charts and it went to number 1 in other countries. It was a multi platinum single in IUS.

Cranberries is and was one of my favorite groups, all their songs are poetry ❤❤❤❤ a fantastic time no auto-tune..

My understanding is this was directed towards a bombing that caused the death of two boys by IRA as you stated.

Linger was the first song I heard from them and I was in love. I have very strong Irish roots, but I would have loved them if I was German. RIP Dolores.

I think the reason it charted overseas is that they are more educated and closer to the problems and politics of Ireland, and they knew that this song was actually about the War between the IRA and the Establishment Governments in Ireland. It doesn't really take sides per se, but the "Zombies" are those people that know that people are being killed, and they push it out of their minds, because as the song says "It's not me, it's not my family". The singer was trying to bring attention to the atrocities of war that she grew up hearing rememberences of and the after effects of. A virtual police state and a lot of riots and violence, and occasional terrorism. I think if the folks in the United States really listened to the words and knew the history and meaning, it would have charted better, because to me, being Irish, and knowing the history, it makes the song all that more powerful.

Having worked with PTSD for two decades, I like to point out that: Trauma isn't the event that occured. Rather, it is the internal response to the experienced event. Some of the most insidious trauma out there is from lack of attachment as a child. And it is running rampant in the U.S. and then the children themselves are blamed. It is destroying us. I don't know about modern Northern Ireland (well, through the mid 90s), but if those kids had connection, attachment and meaning in their lives, violence or not it is entirely possible that they were able to lean on that to work through the events. Not always easy to find if a child finds themselves in the emotional abyss in America. So they act out. Or shoot up schools.

I heard this song a million times on Q101 in the mid-90s.

"Zombie" is a protest song by the band's lead singer Dolores O'Riordan about The War in Northern Ireland. The Cranberries were on tour when the Warrnington bomb attack was carried out and Dolores O'Riordan said her heart broke for the mothers of the two little boys who lost their lives. "I remember seeing one of the mothers on television, just devastated," she told Vox magazine in 1994. Dolores O'riordan died in 2018 from drowing due to alcohol intoxication & was found submerged in the bath in her room at London's Park Lane Hilton hotel, she battled with mental health issues due to sexual abuse as a young girl.

Im from ireland and lived threw theese stuggles l, song hits hard. Big ups for the reaction lads.

Please do the Bad Wolves version of this…Dolores was to sing with them but she passed the morning she was supposed to perform. They released this tribute and donated all money to her children. It’s amazing!! Her style of singing is called keening and is typically done at funerals🇨🇦🖖🏻

Sure, great hooks great sound, great vocals. But that isn’t why this song has such high standing. Did a great deal to help the peace process in Northern Ireland.

RIP Dolores!!!!!

Rest in peace Dolores she was so cool I love the cranberries

Dolores was one of my favorite singers when she died it was like losing Michael Jackson for the world but for me I cried so hard when she died her voice was so unique RIH beautiful soul the line that hits in this one is “another mothers breaken heart is taken over”still gets to me I can’t imagine losing a child this song hits. I may not get along with my father but he did educate me on good bands and the cranberries is one of my favorites ode to my family is one of my favorite songs by the cranberries Dolores O’riordan, alanis Morissette, Sade, Cher, and Annie Lennox are 5 unique voices I could listen to all day and not get tired of she was taken to soon such a beautiful soul thank you guys for the reaction

More Cranberries please!

Singer Delores died alone in a very ordinary US Motel room. Possibility from a drug OD. One of the saddest ends ever for an Irish National Heroine, and millions of music lovers the World over!😢

No not in the US. It was the U.K, London specifically

It did chart, this was a big hit in the 90s

The best way to honour Dolores is to enjoy what she did. So check out the other Cranberries stuff, it's great.

I grew up it in the country,she just sang about the trouble,she came from the south our trouble was on the north

Dreams is one of my favorite songs

I met Dolores in the weirdest place... She was in a car with her band mates going through an automotive detail shop in Mississauga Ontario Canada about 25 years ago. She was even more beautiful in person than I could have imagined.

This song is heartbreaking. I've always felt emotional because my family on my mum's side comes from Ireland.

Thanks guys. Bridging the divide my friends.

This song and video was huge when it came out. Shocking it wasn't on the charts here.

This was massive on the 90’s kinda surprised it didn’t chart in the US tbh. Like you said was all over MTV sure

Linger 1993 , first time i heard the cranberries , What a summer that was x
