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.
+1
Wasn’t far from me, and I was in the same year in school age. That it stuck with me.
The change was palpable after that. Also not only the shock of the boys but the location of the bomb, being that even places close to Liverpool which many deemed more Irish sympathetic weren’t safe. The issue always seemed to be attacks in London. But this changed the feeling, anywhere was fair game in their eyes. Scary times but which also just seemed normal growing up.
A telling response
She was Irish, a lot of her singing incorporates traditional Irish singing that's why it's so unique
How is it unique if it's traditional?
@@nickdriessen6159Because traditional, heritage-infused music is rarely incorporated into mainstream music - with some exception, of course.
Sean-nós is the traditional Celtic singing. This particular technique is keening, traditionally used for laments.
Such a great song! Dolores O'Riordan is the singer and she also wrote the song. It is a protest song, written as a reaction to an IRA bombing that had killed two young children, and the pain and anger really come through in the vocals and in the instrumental arrangement, especially the drums. Dolores asked the drummer to play as loud as he could and it really accentuates the anger she was trying to communicate.
Dolores O'Riordan rest in peace. Great song about The Troubles.
hi lil’ lady Aileen!
exactly what he said!
one small additional thing. her vocals are influenced by the Celts singing methods as passed down generations long. not saying it’s an exact, but the ‘yodel’ thing is a part of that tradition in Irish, and Scot Celtic singing traditions.
great tune, good reaction lil’ lady @Aileen!
@@TheScamper44 I'll add that this traditional Celtic/Irish singing was brought over here by immigrants and helped shape American music, especially country and bluegrass
Actually, it's an awful.song by someone who doesn't have any knowledge about the subject.
I'm from the estate in belfast where this was filmed.
She is seen as both naive and a bit of a traitor. A 'West Brit' is how she is often spoken of. She hadn't she'd one tear for Irish children who had been murdered. Then her 'it's in your head'refrain added insult to injury by implying that it was only the Urish in the North who were engaged in conflict.
Awful revisionist nonsense and a shit song. Badly written, poorly played and produced by an amateur.
This is a very special song.
It's such an amazing song. The pain in her voice about the Irish/British conflict. People hating, dying, fighting...it's in your head - Zombie.
It's shite. Badly written, naive lyrics and poorly produced sub grunge shite at that.
She's seen as a West brit by many in Ireland. That is to say - a traitor.
Dolores had the most amazing voice, she is missed tremendously. the album "no need to argue" is a perfect showcase of her talent.
Delores incorporating the Irish "keening" style of singing into the song makes it so haunting and amazing. Another great analysis.
Dolores.
Saves me typing it ... yes "keening" is the word for it.
I didn't realize keening meant wailing for the dead. I just saw its definition from the page grandmotherskeen. I've always loved this song, but it's interesting to know the style in the voice also has a meaning toward the song.
Keening is a sean-nós technique which is used in laments.
Her death was so sudden and sad. Another sad bit is she died right before she was going to be on a cover of this, being done by the band Bad Wolves. Those guys did an amazing tribute to her in their video
it´s more a tribute to this masterpiece, then only a cover, as is the whole music video....
and i don´t think, there will ever be a more worthy cover of this song, as what Bad Wolves achieved....
I'm mostly a metalhead but this has to be one of the best rock songs I've ever heard, damn shame she died too soon, I wish she could have found peace
One of the coolest things about it. All the proceeds they made for the sale of the song was donated to O'Riordan's kids.
Delores's unique vocals in this song is called "keening". It's an old Irish mourning ritual performed at funerals (mostly by the women). It mimics the painful, mournful wails and cries of a mother's loss. Truly beautiful reaction as always. Peace and light...💞
I have always loved the cranberries. The music world lost a true treasure when dolores passed. She had a vocal style like you would typically only hear in folk style music.
Being Irish, this song makes me cry EVERY time. I miss Dolores's voice so much. Such a beautiful soul!
This wasn't the full version, if you see the longer full video it is even more powerful. RIP Dolores, she was a musical treasure.
Came here to say this
Absolutely. Full version gives the full picture.
@matthewgoodA1206 She didn't know the Full picture. This song is insulting to people in the north of Ireland.
I thought I was tripping too😅
Not the full version and the best part is the tension building up to the true ending. Cmon fans at least lead her to the right version lol! U can enjoy it again fully I guess is the silver lining
This was a protest 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'. [ ... ] 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."
Dolores O'Riordan in 2017, on writing "Zombie"
I live in Northern Ireland. A lot of the images are in Belfast where I live. The alternative scene in Belfast still is a mixed background. It was normal growing up with army at the end of the street and searching you. 2 people I was in school with lost there life because of the conflict
Aileen is hitting all the classic bangers... Kudos to the commenters on their recommends!
Can't go wrong with TheCranberries.
She was Irish. It’s heartbreaking that she isn’t with us anymore.
My own musical mick soul is having a drink on her behalf🎶🍻
The story behind this song is horrifying and very on point to the world at the time.
The pain can be felt in every line accompanied by a somber, sorrowful tone by the band.
rest in peace, bless their souls
Such a power-house of a front-person. She had so much soul and depth. RIP Delores.
One of the saddest, most heart wrenching songs I have ever heard in my entire life. Just makes me WEEP: every time. Should not "be a thing", anymore. Lord Help Us! Senseless deaths.... 💔💔💔💔💔 Prayers for Peace: EVERYWHERE. I'm sure that everyone, below, has mentioned her keening. Just heartbreaking. Thanks for listening to this one, Aileen.
This song is about the still unresolved conflict between Protestants and catholics in Northern Ireland. In 1994, when this song was recorded, the Good Friday Agreement that was about to bring some relief, was still in the future. The song is about a bombing where two innocent kids were killed. The singer is iconic Dolores O‘Riordan, she had a psychological problem and died in Jan 2018 after extensive alcohol consumption by drowning in the bathtub (like Whitney) at the age of 46. Her yodel-like singing technique is allegedly typical for Irish folk songs and definitely influenced by her heritage and culture. A great voice of the nineties! RIP Dolores!
R.I.P. She was so amazing. I miss the Cranberries, it will be hard to find another band like them.
as you probably know, Dolores (R.I.P.) grew up under hard conditions in Ireland, including her own family dysfunction ......she made it her mission before her passing to raise awareness and funding for the support of children in war-torn areas of the world........we need more Dolores O'Riordans as artists and humanitarians........
i was in highschool back in time as this song was released and literally everyone was listening to it. and still today it gives me goosebumps.
Such a powerful song. The way Dolores is singing is called keening. To keen (caoine in Irish) is the traditional practice of wailing in a melodic way to show grief for the dead.
As a Father who has lost one of his golden children. This song has a whole new meaning!
I am sorry for your loss...nothing fills that hole and it's so hard to get past and learn to live with the loss. HUGS to YOU and YOUR FAMILY! ❤
I am so sorry for your loss ❤❤❤
@@Jude_196 Thank you
@@debbiecook8777 Thank you
As a father myself, my deepest condolences. All love brother.
Dolores sings with purpose, its about the troubles in northern Ireland,,,,it speaks from the heart.
Great reaction Aileen...🇬🇧👍
this song only exists by the actions of the crown,How many innocent children did her majesty's forces kill in the foreign land
The snare of the drumkit sounds like gunshots. And this is clearly intentional! Great arrangement!
Hello 👋 from Ireland Aileen, thank you for another fantastic reaction. i love your content, and this savage song Dolores was from country limerick. She truly was a fantastic artist, one of Ireland's greatest rock musicians 😀 the song is about the troubles in Northern Ireland and the terrible things that people experienced
Unless you're from the North because fuck.those guys, right?
Shite song.
The song was inspired by a two year old and a twelve year old murdered by the IRA in the Warrington Bombings in England.
Two bombs put in litter bins timed to explode ninety seconds apart, so people fleeing from the first, ran into the second.
You definitely have one of the best reaction channels for heavier music I’ve seen on CZcams. Thank you Aileen!🤘🏻👍🏻❤️
If you're not moved to tears listening to this song you are not human at all, the lyrics the way she sings and the whole imagery in the video is so sad and powerful.. great reaction by the way.. ❤❤❤ 7:30
yup i cry every time. ill be like again? really? still?
Nope. She's a west brit that lied to the kids in my estate to get her ghoulish video made.
Awful song, badly written, poorly produced.
Not just Dlores’s stunning voice the Imagery of the video & history behind the song is worth you looking into .. ☘️😀💚
This is my favorite song of The Cranberries. The lyrics, Delores' vocals, the video, all are extremely powerful.
This is one of those songs that was SO POPULAR, it played on damn near every radio station, on loop on every location with music, people got tired of it, and started hating on it.
But it's certainly not a bad song.
This song is very intensionally emotional. Every aspect of the instrumentation and voice is there to shock ( in a good way) the listener. If we take in consideration the times we live in, it still is very much a reality. Once you truly grasp the meaning, it's hard not to shed some tears.
Great reaction Aileen to such a powerful song.
If you ever get the chance there's a band called bad wolves that did a cover of this. This is such a timeless song.
its such an epic cover
I believe she had one of the best voices in the music industry. She sounds like no one else. No one else I heard sounds like her. She was just starting to make a come back when she passed. Good, we can still hear her voice . She has many more great songs.
You need to Google Sinead O,xConnor. She was doing this long before this clown was. RiP Sinead
Fun Fact: The Cranberries "Zombie" is a protest song released in 1994. It was written by the band's lead singer, Dolores O'Riordan, in response to the 1993 IRA bombing in Warrington, England, which resulted in the death of two young children.
The song criticizes the violence and unrest in Northern Ireland, particularly the impact on innocent civilians. The term "zombie" is metaphorical, representing the senseless and dehumanizing aspects of these conflicts.
Also the song aims to convey the futility and human cost of war, questioning the cyclical nature of violence. It remains one of the band's most iconic songs and is known for its haunting melody and poignant lyrics.
What is it about a bombing that qualifies it as a "fun fact"?
To help you understand and grasp the context better, the phrase "Fun Fact" is commonly used to introduce a piece of information that is both true and interesting, often surprising or unexpected.
The phrase has been adopted in various sectors, including business, education, and media. The term became ubiquitous, it aligns well with the information age where sharing quick, digestible facts has become commonplace.
The intent is to engage the audience and add an element of enlightenment to a discussion. In a business/leisure context, utilizing "Fun Facts" can serve as an engaging method to break the ice in presentations or meetings, and social discourse making data or statistics more relatable and noteworthy for the audience and general public.
In case you've never heard that term before, I provided the following to help.
Be Well 👌
@@WeylandLabs Fucking AI text. There's nothing "fun" about the background of this song.
Easily one of the greatest songs of all time. And a timeless classic as well.
Easily. And that's a high bar.
I remember when this song came out and was a huge fan from the beginning. It wasn't until just a few months ago watching reaction videos that I found out what it was about and it made me just rethink how I take in music. Even old fogies can learn something new :)
The break in dolores voice was everything
Love this song awesome reaction aileen
Another Angel that has passed, but will forever remember her music!
Thank you,Aileen ❤️
Great song 👍🎸📢🎶
Her voice was truly remarkable and one of a kind. This song had a huge impact on me. When I first heard it in the 90s. It was in my head on a regular basis for at least a year. It is too bad that we lost her when we did. R.I.P. Dolores. May god bless you and keep you ❤
Google Sinead O'connor. Unique she is not.
Sending love from Texas. Bad Wolves did a remake to this song.
I know people like to meme on this song for whatever reason for the memes and such, especially the chorus, but the way she sings and the way the band performs has always been so good!! You using the word of 'gravitating' is honestly such the best way to describe the song and the video! This has been my only song/exposure to this band like you, so I'm even more excited to explore this rabbit whole with you and anyone else in our boat 😭❤
"Linger," official video should be next for the Cranberries!
Great reaction 🔥🤘💗
Just stumbled onto Your vids, love them!😊
I truly hope you will dive into the history of this song and the cranberries. As with most beautiful art and music there are elements of tragedy in the story and beauty in the delivery of the message. Enjoy your journey, Aileen.
RIP Dolores 😢
love from Seattle
You are on fire today Aileen👍
She was so talented. ❤
so epic loved this vid
I've never understood why Dolores got slated as a singer. She had an incredible voice . And the vocal performance in this song is drenched in pain and angst. Others in the comments have talked about the background of this song and thats what makes this so much more than just a protest song.
She is another one thats left us far too soon.
i love her reaction. i feel she gets it, she feels what the song is about.
Love you Aileen ♥️💐
WATCHED YOU 4 WHILE ENJOY YOUR CHANNEL IM UK GUY ,BEEN TROUGH A LOT ,MUSIC SAVES ME ,
The Bad Wolves version of this song and the circumstances behind it are just as haunting.
With what going on in the world today, it's not a stretch to say this song is still sadly relevant. The power, anger and sorrow always brings me to tears.
This song was great at demonstrating the lower, heavier side if Dolores' vocal spectrum. For something more in the middle, check out "Linger". And to hear her hit the lighter, more ethereal end, "Dreams" is perfect. It's a far more uplifting, effortless, soaring vocal run at the end, punctuated by recordings of her own vocals to provide backgrounds. She was incredible.
Brilliant reaction
One of the greatest examples of how a voice can wordlessly convey emotion...
Her vocals have a lot of traditional Irish singing qualities . Her voice goes almost into a yodel . Refreshing to hear her unique sound . Dolores passed before he time.
her voice and style one of a kind
Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?, my favorite Cranberries album!
great song! i played this cd a lot driving to and from work back then!
Saw in live, very emotional.
Morning sunshine so much music to explore your only at the tip of the iceberg 😂❤😮 love these guys ljs have a beautiful day
Pau singing creep is good from the warning ❤ such a great voice
This song is a slice of my teen years. I liked it from day 1 but fell in love with it in my mid 20s there has seldom been such an impassioned plea for peace and to my knowledge never in music. Her voice carries the grief of a nation divided by conflict in one form or another for HUNDREDS of years. -May your notes ring true.-
The Song was such a Banger! And a Protest too.
🤟🤟🤟
Dolores O'Riordan is the lead singer. She was born in Ireland (along with the rest of the Cranberries) and unfortunately passed away in 2018 at the age of 46.
I was in my early twenties when I heard Linger on the radio. Identify the band. Heard Dreams. Bought the first cd album. Was amazed and loved it. Bought the second Cd album. Zombie was powerful. I remember a small bit of a convo with a friend that we were enthralled with the power they displayed in appeal that we agreed they we’re going to be as big as U2. Went to the concert in Tampa. Remember always playing their music when I needed their magic. I was heartbroken when Dolores passed 😭 RIP
Keening: (of a sound) prolonged and high-pitched, typically in a way that expresses grief or sorrow. A traditional form of vocal lament for the dead in the Gaelic Celtic tradition, known to have taken place in Ireland and Scotland.
You seem like good people, thanks for the reaction.
Ah, many nights moshing to this in Fibber Magees in Dublin back in the day.
RIP Delores.
RIP Delores. Your music plays on and will always be important to the history of music.
Love that song.😍
The Cranberries "Salvation"...Nuff Said.
Yes, this song is very powerful, she has that Irish twang to her voice, kinda like Sinéad O’Connor.
Zombie is a protest song inspired by the murder of two young boys, Tim Parry 12 and Jonathan Ball 3, in the 1993 Warrington bombings. They were out shopping with adults, looking for cards for their mothers for Mothering Sunday. The word "zombie" in the song refers to those involved on both the British and Northern Irish side who blindly followed orders without thinking for themselves. . Delores' voice is beautiful, the music is hard and the lyrics are hard hitting. the video shows actual soldiers on patrol on the streets there and the children are playing on the real streets. Kills me to hear it, my eldest son is only two years older than Jonathan Ball would have been, but it's a song that makes you stop and remember how fragile peace is and how easily it can be lost and everything that goes with it. R.I.P. I was blessed to see her in concert
Such a powerful song about the numbness of war, bombings, repression, etc. So relevant then in Ireland / Northern Ireland and now, all these years later, in Israel and Gaza. As much as things change, they remain the same.
BANGER!
Another powerful voice with tons of passion and very driven for her cause.It's sad that she passed but her music will live on ,I LOVE MUSIC WITH A MESSAGE.. Rock on Aileen,your new biggest fan..
Oh yea , check out linger .it has some great vocal point's
I've listened to this song for almost 30 years...goose bumps every time.
I love the bass line too! And those drums are just vicious, IMHO.
You need to hear them live
You're awesome, your reaction was beautiful and I love your eyebrows. I could feel you feeling Dolores ❤️ and that makes me feel happy because I love the cranberries Rock on girl 💯
thank you!
It's sad how relevant the song is. Always hits me to the core, especially since she left us. RIP Dolores❤
She had such a beautiful vibratto that will live on forever 💕
Glad that you appreciate this song, Delores voice was so original. Glad you took down the meter, I prefer just watching your reactions.
One of a kind voice. You can feel the pain it…sad. This song never gets old.
Dolores O'Riordan, From Limerick Ireland. raised in the traveler community, Her singing style was informed by the Irish tradition of 'Keening' which is a style of singing usually found at wakes and funerals, but less common nowadays.
A beautiful, fragile talent that was taken from us too early.
Her yodel type style sounds amazing
The song is fantastic on it's own, but the video pushes it to a whole different level.
I miss summers in the mid 90's, watching MTV and seeing videos like this.
My god!!! So I’m a little side tracked right now. Aileen you are sooo gorgeous. And your a Metal Head just floors me. You go girl 🤟🤟🤟🤟
That vocal effect you mention as a “teaser” is called a Celtic wail.
You have such a good speaking voice. Very soothing and clam. You could prob make a lot of money just reading stories or books on your channel. :) But I still love the reaction videos. thanks for the upload!
Upsets me when i here this fabulous powerfull song and to know the context is upsetting
