    Let's remember their names: Three-year-old Johnathan Ball was killed when two bombs hidden in litter bins detonated on a busy shopping street in March 1993. Tim Parry, aged 12, died five days later. There were many other victims, but this is the incident that inspired the song.

      Between 1969-2003 there were over 16,000 bombings. In Belfast, on 21 July 1972, 19 IRA bombs were detonated in little over an hour. Most attacks were orchestrated by the IRA, but loyalist paramilitaries from the UVF, UFF and UVF also carried out bombing campaigns. Terrorism was orchestrated by both sides and it was mostly innocent civilians that paid the price. I was born in 1993 and whilst I wasn’t around during the worst days of the Troubles, I’ve still heard the sound of bombs and gunfire. Thankfully the violence has subsided and hostilities are mostly in the past. Northern Ireland is a safe place to live in and visit. Although sadly there are still some that cling to the past. To give you an example, in 2019 a 29 year old reporter, Lyra McKee was murdered in crossfire when a New IRA gunman started shooting towards the police. She dedicated her life to speaking out about the Troubles and LGBT rights, she was researching unsolved killings during the conflict at the time she died and never finished her second book. Lyra had only just bought an engagement ring and was about to propose to her partner.

    Zombie" is a protest song by Irish alternative rock band the Cranberries, written by the band's lead singer, Dolores O'Riordan, in response to and in memory of two young victims of a bombing in Warrington, England, that occurred during the Troubles in Northern Ireland.

    They actually filmed in Belfast in the heartland of the Troubles, getting permission from the British army by saying they were making a documentary about the peace-keeping efforts, so those shots of the soldiers, graffiti etc are real. The b/w of the band playing was filmed in Dublin.
    The vocal technique she uses is keening - a classic Irish (and Scottish) vocal lament. The song and video are haunting and when it was released it was profoundly shocking - am An Old and remember it well.

    It still cuts me up every time. As a Scot with Irish heritage and growing up watching the troubles regularly on the news, it takes me back to my childhood. I remember going shopping in Glasgow and having to regularly leave stores with my mum aged 10 cause of bomb scares. It was much worse in Ireland as they had to check under their cars for detonators every time before driving off. Dolores' voice giving way to 'keening' the Irish funeral lament is so haunting. There is also a Scottish Gaelic version of this too, but I only know a few words of Gaelic being on the West coast.

    Excellent analysis and reaction- thanks! Yes, Delores sings with her limerick accent in all of her songs but in this song she is using a vocal technique referred to as "Keening" common in Irish folk songs and used at Irish funerals to emphasize heartbreak and grief. Please react to the 'Bad Wolves' cover of this song while this one is still fresh in your mind. Delores was scheduled to reprise her vocals and record that cover with them but passed away suddenly the day it was to be recorded. It is a stunning tribute to Delores and the proceeds of that song go to her children.

    An artifact of the Easter Sunday, 1916 rising. The sound of British artillery, and of the firing squads thereafter kept ringing in the ears of all involved. Generations of zombies on both sides infected their children with their hate for one another, and some even refused to take 'yes' for an answer once the peace was negotiated in the 1990's. Small wonder O'Riordan (RIP) got so angry.

      The Catholic Church had Keening almost forgotten. The church found it pagan and wanted it stopped, the hunt to try and destroy the ancient rites was done all over the world. If they couldn’t erase it they adapted some practices into Christianity.Keening was rediscovered by some from early recordings. It’s not a common practice.

    I've said this on numerous reactions to this song but this was my childhood, literally.
    I grew up on the Ardoyne Road in North Belfast in the 80s. Everything from the soldiers patrolling the streets to us kids playing around in derelict houses, including climbing up onto roofs and jumping around (as well as other roofs like the ones on the Wheatfield or Holy Cross girls primary schools).
    The murals shown in this video were ones that we passed regularly.
    I still remember the principle of R.B.A.I. (my secondary school that I was going to at the time) telling us the story of the Warrington Bomb as he had been in England that weekend and when travelling close to the area whilst driving up to get the ferry back to Belfast. He was extremely posh so for us a kids to hear him cursing in the assembly was a shock to all the pupils and showed just how much it had affected him.

It breaks my heart to think of all the suffering on both sides off the Irish Sea and I am eternally grateful to those women of Ireland on both sides of the conflict who said enough is enough and created the right conditions for the fabulous Mo Mowland to broker the peace process. All the time whilst she had a brain tumour and was mocked for balding.

    It also surprises me how smart you really are with like facts and histroy and events. Like you were just pulling this off the top of your head. Something I could never fathom. But again another good break down. They show the kid with the gun and then the soldier as well. And it makes me wonder if that kid was the soldier after he grew up. It just comes across as a possible thing. But love the song and your break down!

    It also adds another layer to the equation when you consider that the footage for this is real. It was filmed in Belfast. Also, the image of the cross evokes sacrifice. So, if follow that line of thought and note the children around and then on the cross,the question is posed. Are we really willing to continue to sacrifice our children? How horrific is it that the answer to that question is all too often “yes”.

May she rest in peace, and her legacy go on.
