Dolores was the lead singer. She was amazing. She and Sinéad O Connor best Irish singers and best at Irish keening. This song is about the troubles in Northern Ireland. You should listen to some of her other songs. RIP DOLORES Ireland 🇮🇪 misses you. Great reaction

Haven't heard Miley Cyrus' version but absolutely love Bad Wolves version as did Delores and would have performed with them if she hadn't passed away

Having heard her sing in a stadium - she turned it in to a cathedral with that voice. Unforgettable. RIP Dolores.

These are the scenes of my youth - I was born, grew up and still live in N. Ireland. The army was everywhere, machine guns were a non-remarkable thing cos they were an every day sight. Paramilitary Terrorists and armed forces meant Shootings, Bombs/bomb scares were so common that they became 'normal'.....Police & Army checkpoints were every few miles, so you would have to produce photo ID....most times with a machine gun inches away from your face. Our so-called 'peace' is still very fragile and the fall out from Brexit is making tensions rise again😞 Our Elections are tomorrow for our 'devolved' government, but our so-called politicians are part of the problem - they're a disgrace! All we want is PEACE☮ *R.I.P. Dolores* for giving us this song💔....it is part of our blood stained history and 'The Troubles'. It's message is overwhelming powerful.

Over a billion views can't be wrong! Such a powerful song. The terrorist bombing mentioned in the song is part of a larger conflict in Ireland known as The Troubles, and going back further with the Easter Rising (the 1916 line). Though UK and Ireland's issues go back much further than that. RIP Dolores. The Bad Wolves tribute (it was supposed to be a collab before she died unexpectedly) is amazing as well.

Dolores O'Riordan was the singer and she's "keening", a type of singing used in Irish culture for mourning at funerals. They were in the middle of the violence in Ireland and this is about terrorist bombing that killed 2 kids. They wanted you to feel it too.

@christinerobinson9372

This is not keening. It is the Irish yodel, distinctive to the Irish. Keening is a wailing, closer to the howling of a wolf. It is an expression of grief that can not be contained.

What's "still occuring in Ireland"?

I love The Cranberries! I was 11 when this song came out. Didn’t have the cassette tape and we didn’t have Google back then so I didn’t have all the lyrics in front of me to read (lol). And I was 11 so I didn’t sit there and listen to it from beginning to end just to listen to the lyrics but I heard the majority of them and saw the video. Just googled it now to see what it was actually about (says it was written by the band's lead singer Dolores O'Riordan in memory of Johnathan Ball and Tim Parry, who were killed in the 1993 Warrington bombings). Love her voice and how much she cares! Such a strong and powerful voice/song!

The look on your face when she belts out the hook…..PRICELESS!!!! 😂

I am never really a doting fan. There have been 2 exceptions. Dolores was/is one of them. I prayed for her through every difficulty and joy that I learned of and my heart broke when she passed. We love you!

Dolores Mary Eileen O'Riordan 6 September 1971 - she died 15 January 2018) was an Irish musician, singer and songwriter. She was best known as the lead vocalist and lyricist for the alternative rock band the Cranberries.The song is about 2 incidends 1916: Ireland. The total 429 persons killed, 116 were Military personnel, 3 were policemen and 310 were civilians. There were 38 children - aged 16 and under - killed. 1993 Zombie" is a protest song by Irish alternative rock band the Cranberries, written by the band's lead singer Dolores O'Riordan in memory of Johnathan Ball and Tim Parry, who were killed in the 1993 Warrington bombings. The horrific part of it was the 2 boys been killed - were a 3 and 12 year old. Jonathan Ball, three, and Tim Parry, 12, died and 54 others were hurt when two bombs hidden in litter bins went off in Bridge Street on 20 March 1993. People easy to talk revenge and enter a war, but the realities are horrific.

This song is an anti war song specifically about the troubles in Northern Ireland. Written in memory of two young boys blown up by an ira bomb in Warrington England. RIP Dolores sorely missed.

Rest my beautiful angel.

I grew up in London in an Irish family. I went on to mentor a young English guy that had served in Northern Ireland. Being raised in England with an Irish family conflicted me when I was young but gave me an ability to put myself in other people’s shoes. Glad things have improved in recent years. I have known and loved people from both countries.

I can't tell you how much I miss her, it was such a big loss when she died. In fact, the only other musician that I can compare the loss to was when Stevie Ray Vaughan died. I just fell in love with her voice. They have a lot of great songs, but my favorite from her is "When You're Gone." Thanks for listening to them!

Another beautiful soul gone before her time!!!😥😥😥

I am in India.. and was about 16 when I saw this song in the 1990s… could never forget it and I was so stunned by this song.. Though it’s about IRA bombings and Ireland’s struggles, India also had a lot of trouble at that time and we used to have a lot of terror attacks and bombings and thousands dying, so that feeling of grief and insecurity resonated a lot with me too. I think the golden painted mother and the angels may be based on Pieta by Michelangelo.

I woukd listen to the Cranberries non stop back in 95. My oldest is 31 and she sent me a video of her 8 yr old daughter singing this song because she remembers how much the Cranberries were played in the house growing up.

This is possibly the finest rock lament concerning politics; in this case 'The Troubles' (British understatement there) of Northern Ireland. Neither Protestant nor Catholic sides' extremists at the time were prepared to break the cycle of retaliation over the latest atrocity and neither seemed to much care if the other side's children were victims. The reference to 1916 is when Irish Nationalists took arms in support of Irish self rule. As this was in the middle of WWI the response by the British Army was absurdly savage and helped bring about Irish Independence, but divided the country with the North remaining in the UK. Violence took hold there again in 1969. When this came out I mostly heard the anger in the song, but now as an aging man I hear the despair. The song is an awesome reminder that, where there is a choice, talking is always preferable to violence.

Thank you for your comment and for explaining everything! Same, I hear the despair now as well 😢

This song still gives me goosebumps. I'm sure I had the exact same look on my face when Dolores really gets going.

Dolores was a gift and taken too soon from this world. Thank you for keeping her voice heard. ❤️

Raised in a household that followed any news about the troubles, I was quite familiar with what she spoke of. I remember hearing this song the first time at a friends house and couldn’t believe her voice, I fell in love immediately (I was 14, sue me). So when I heard about her tragic accident, it crushed me, I was completely devastated! The world has one less shining star amongst us now….. R.I.P. Dolores O'Riordan

Delores is the best female vocal ever.

This is an Irish rock band & this was released in 1993 after a couple people were killed in a bombing.

So, this is a protest song, written by the amazing lead singer of The Cranberries, Dolores O'Riordan, who sadly passed away in 2018. The interesting sounding oh-oh, eh-eh, etc in this song is a form of "Keening" which is used to this day at Irish funerals to lament the dead. This song was written in response to two boys, aged 3 and 12, being killed by an Irish Republican Army (IRA) bombing in Warrington, England. Northern Ireland was in a sort of irregular civil war from 1916 until the signing of the Good Friday Peace treaty in 1998. It was defined by the IRA, who wanted to merge Northern Ireland with Ireland, and the Ulster Volunteer Force (UVF) who were loyal to the crown in the United Kingdom. If you want to know more, a good place to start is the Wiki page on "The Troubles"

Lead singer Delores passed years ago! RIP Delores! Great band, great song , great reaction!!! ✌🏼❤️

A little-known badass band called The Bad Wolves did a cover of this song absolutely nailed it. After you watch this video you need to go watch that video of bad wolves cover and it'll set you back in your seat and blow your mind.

Jonathan Ball and Tim Perry, RIP. Innocents. God rest your souls.

Delores O’Riordan is the singer. The song and video is about the civil unrest and decades long struggle regarding the re-unification of Belfast, and Northern Ireland and Ireland, and the thousands of deaths that occurred. Long complicated reasons, but largely attributable to British colonization and because Catholics and Protestants didn’t like each other.

Delores O'Riordan. Her style of singing in much of the song is called Irish yodeling. The children in the gold paint represent the many children that died during the British occupation of Ireland.

Stunning isn’t she? You can really hear the Irish influence come through. And I wish I could rock that pixie cut like her. 🤘🤘

Every time I hear it, goosebumps. I'm 57.

the singer WAS Dolores O'Riordan and she is still in our hearts!

RIP - what an anthem to leave behind for generations

That song is about thr war in Ireland. Delores....amazing n singing from the HEART about the War in Ireland. Another anti-war anthem. Haunting.....and REAL It's REAL....

My favorite female singer

RIP Dolores. Some good Cranberries songs = Not Sorry - Linger - Dreams - I Still Do

Yes!! That head nod and smile got me. I'm so here for your reactions to my favorite tunes. To hear it all again with fresh ears would be magical. Binge watching & subscribing. 💖

Delores and Linda Ronstadt are the two greatest female singers since the beginning of rock. You should listen to "Dreams" and/or "Ode to my Family".

I'm from Ireland she's singing about Belfast here the fighting and bombing love from Ireland ☘️☘️☘️👌

One Of The Greatest and Most Popular Meaningful Songs now that mean more than ever now in 2023 Thanks to people like you and KZread's Most Popular Growing Entity Reactions

I can tell she blew you away 🤯

Great song. It's important to understand where the song came from. It's meaning from a historical context. Delores would rather you understand the song than just praise it for it's artistic value.

My granny used to say " stop your keening " when i be crying , this is what she was on about wailing

this is Dolores O'Riordan (RIP), You think she could sing, try to listen to Sinead O'Connor, another Irish singer who did a version of Prince's "nothing compares to you" which will blow your mind!

RIP Delores, you were truly special, wish I could have known you!

The Cranberries "Salvation"...Nuff Said.

Where were you past 15 years, Zombie was a mega hit. Makes me laugh someone in 2022 asking MMEN who is that women...

The lead singer is Dolores O'riodon was the singer she tragically passed! Song is about an IRA bombing that killed children!!!!

RIP Delores💕💔

I've seen grown men from Ireland break into tears to this song. This is MUCH DEEPER than just a song to an entire nation under tyranny! 💯 This is about 106 years of revolt and retaliation. And Delores isn't even with us anymore. R.I.P. 😪 🇮🇪

When I was growing up, the prodistants and the catholics were at war in Northern Ireland.

I will never ever EVER get tired of this song! Always loved it and always will! Rest In Peace Dolores 🥲

In the end, it's the children. That's what anyone would fight for. That's what any sane person would be willing to die for.

Rip Dolores we miss you 🤍❤🤍

The "troubles". Ireland wanted independence from British rule. 1916, WW2 was raging and while most Irish people went to the front, the Republicans turned their guns on English soldiers.

Agreed. The small, yet significant, switch/update from "guns" to "drones" is well-thought. Perhaps the acoustic version is a good suggestion, since it allows you to focus on the lyrics. (I tend to favor acoustic versions, since it's easier to carry an acoustic guitar around and play whenever you feel like it.)

4 Non Blondes "Whats Up" is another banger

I'm a big fan of your channel

Powerful song. My bf ate pizza with them once back in the late 90s. He tells ppl every chance he gets

Sadly she is no longer with us, she died from drowning due to alcohol intoxication in January 2018. The band disbanded after that.

Masterpiece forever in the music of the world 🙏🙏🙏🎸🎸🎸🌃🌃🌃👏👏👏👏

Just came across this video, you should check out the bad wolves version, that version came about cause they were going to do a collaboration with her, and she passed away (I think) it was the day before the recording was supposed to occur, and Bad Wolves decided to record their version as a tribute

That's right bro! Your eyes an mouth wide open in amazement made my day! 🤙 And I can also tell you sense a deeper meaning...

And this beautiful soul is gone from this life by her own hand. An incalculable loss for us all…

Past members: Mike Hogan, Noel Hogan, … Origin: Limerick, Ireland Also known as: The Cranberry Saw Us, (1989-1990) The Cranberries were an Irish rock band formed in Limerick, Ireland. Originally named the Cranberry Saw Us, the band were formed in 1989 by lead singer Niall Quinn, guitarist Noel Hogan, bassist Mike Hogan, and drummer Fergal Lawler. Quinn was replaced as lead singer by Dolores O'Riordan in 1990, and they changed their name to the Cranberries.

She turned down 1 million dollars not to release this song.

This is their 2nd track. everyone the first time heard "Dreams" FIRST. The angel at the Microphone is Delores o' Riordan, who left the planet, tragically in Jan 2018 RIP, delores. there are videos where she fronts an orchestra doing this song i will link in comments. She sang Ave Maria with Pavorotti. a singularly powerful and beautiful voice. Its no question she is one of the most talented vocalists ever in rock

I was tore up when I heard of her passing. So sad!

Beacon theater NYC1993. I have never ever been blown away by a band and Dolores‘s voice as I was at this incredible concert that I will never forget. She was such a gift to music into this world. Always loved the cranberries. Listen to dreams and listen to linger and more. If you can watch one of her live performances where she takes the songs and her voice even further. Thank you so much for this reaction it was well worth seeing and seeing your face when she finally broke into the course with her voice. It is such a joy to see someone good to hear and see her and that unexpected reaction✌️❤️

She was amazing... check out Linger by them

Any song off of Everyone Else is Doing it, so Why Can't We? Especially I will Always.... I listened to this album all the time in college. One of my favorite albums from the first to the last song.

Her voice is out of this world

This is about the Irish Civil War. It’s incredibly moving.

Tommy Vext did a cover which is amazing and donated the proceeds to her children. Look up Lone Wolf

Linger is another really great song of theirs.

R.I.P. Dolorès 💔

This song is so touching, she sang about the loss of life in the British Irish conflict over Northern Ireland 🇮🇪 Delores was a beautiful person ❤ from limerick Ireland who sing from her heart !

Delores was an amazing woman who's voice an music activism will never die!! RIP Delores ✌🏼💗

After this check out bad wolves version there more metal but they do it justice for sure

Rip Delores, Bad Wolf calab that didn't have her in it, makes me sad, it's like a feeling that you know she's missing from the remake and dedication to her. Bad Wolf did an awesome job. Delores you will be definitely be missed.

You should really react to The Bad Wolves' version of this song. Dolores was supposed to sing on the cover with them and was found dead that very morning. The Bad Wolves were literally living out of a car at the time but donated all the proceeds of the song to Dolores's children! They did an amazing respectful job on the song, trust me, it took me a very Ling time to even give it a chance despite hearing very good things. In my heart, only Dolores could sing thus song. I wish I listened sooner!

Check out a band called Bad Wolves who did a cover/tribute of this song after she died, its amazing.

There is so much emotion in this song. People get sacrificed for bullshit government decisions. "It's not me, it's not my family" Fuck war.

Dolores was an amazing singer - RIP! ♥ I suggest the following Cranberries songs: Dreams & Ode To My Family

So jealous you got to experience it for the first time ever, she was a master at what she did- as were her band mates. She wrote it specifically based on the reigning troubles in Ireland at the time, and a terrorist incident that happened in Warrington, England where two children were killed in a bombing. :)

1- Rest in peace Dolores. 2- There's aslso a version by Bad Wolves. You're gonna like it.

I like to think baby girl had so much more music to give us RIP dolores🤘❤️ many hearts were broken that day you left

That woman was Dolores O’Riordan and she was amazing. Zombie was different from their other hits which were more softer pop/folk but were so distinct because her beautiful, unique voice.

I love this reaction video, to watch his facial expressions change with every pitch and really appreciate this song was wonderful to see

Wise words.

now listen to the bad wolves cover. it's very different to the cranberries but it was highly approved by Delores who was supposed to sing on it but she unfortunately passed.

RIP Delores ❤

She was a great vocalist. Such a sad song but you will never forget this video/song

What a Celtic voice lost too soon!

Great reaction brother! I had to watch it twice in a row and I'll be back for some more!
