- In this video, I react for the first time to Irish band The Cranberries performing “Zombie”. I analyze their amazing performance, explain and demonstrate Dolores O’Riordan’s vocal techniques and I'll tell you what I think made it so great. This is an iconic song that I hear people sing all the time and I am so glad I finally reacted to it!

This song was written specifically in response to the deaths of a 12 year old and a 3 year old in a bombing in the early 90's. The emotions you were feeling were completely intentional to the songwriting, and it's a masterwork.
This correct, at the hands of the IRA, a Irish terrorist/mafia group.
They were buying cards for their mother and bombs were in trash cans near them when they exploded
She would not know. Even though they are her neighbors. People this age know NO recent history. I bet she never heard of the IRA. She didn't even bat an eye when the IRA mural hit the screen. Sad.
@@nielgregory108 Not her fault, it is modern teaching ideas that have no time for this type of history. I fear for the future with what is happening in our world at the moment, and end up remembering Heinrich Heine's famous quote - "Where they burn books, so too will they in the end burn human beings."
@@nielgregory108didn't bat an eye? She took in a hard breath when the IRA mural popped up.
Definitely keep the raw version. So long as you feel comfortable with it of course.
Often the reason we love these songs is because they impact us on an emotional level, and whilst your musical analysis is OFF THE CHART, seeing someone else experience those emotions is very powerful.
also if you need cheering up, I've been thoroughly enjoying watching Pomplamoose creating their new work, and Félicitations! is a fab single to listen to on it's own
Hear! Hear!
Completely agree.
I was already very familiar with the song when I saw that the Voice Fairy had reacted to it.
I was thrilled at the prospect.
couldnt agree more.
100% agree...it is up to you.
As for my preference, I prefer to see the genuine emotional reaction as that is ultimately what music is FIRST about in my opinion.
Thanks for you reaction!
Keep the emotions. I'm 56 years old and remember when this song was released. And I still cry. Every time
It's always incredible to me how a song can evoke such emotions. It's a testament to those who made it. It seems to paint a picture, like an artist evoking emotion with brush strokes. The broader issue being addressed by this song is something they felt deserves attention, and rightfully so. There was a lot of suffering involved.
As someone peripherally associated with some of the stuff going on back in the 90's, I DIRECTLY credit her, and the Cranberries, with shaming all parties to the table that finally led to peace.
Never thought I'd see it, and never was I more grateful.
She was a true bard, and healed her people
100 percent agree bro
I‘d sure like to think so.
Yes, it's the artists who hold up the mirror for all (who will) to see, while politicians appease their base.
Give her a name, man. It's DOLORES O'RIORDAN! RIP :(
Lolli's ability to replicate any vocal technique of any singer from any music genre is unparalleled. Unbelievable talent.
I second this comment wholeheartedly.
Absolutely correct and amazing
You nailed it. I like her raw emotions to the song, her sense of humor and editing of the video to make it even more fun. This is why I come back.
This. The techniques used in this song were varied and definitely not easy, or even common knowledge.
This is my first time her and she blew me away, mimicked her so well.
Please keep the raw emotions. Your technical breakdowns are brilliant, but your humanity is what brings us all here. You have charisma, and your honest reactions really brings that to the forefront. Never stop being you and always react honestly, please.
I gotta agree. Your passion and emotion when listening to music, along with your huge expertise are what make you so compelling to watch. Please, record it all, and chop it up later, if that's the way the music makes you feel. It's absolutely captivating and makes you stand out from the crowd.
Love your work. Keep it up x
Absolutely right. You have a keen and sensitive spirit. You feel things very deeply and you allow us to feel them right along with you. This direct connection with your emotions is the wellspring of your creativity.
Pray you never become inured to the highs and lows life is always throwing at us, for they are what make life special. And you can't truly enoy the sun without having felt the rain. Chiaroscuro...light and dark.
well put
Very well put. I mean, what's the point of a reaction video without reactions?
Amen
This song is just a masterpiece, the mourning guitar, the drums like gunshots. I'm pretty sure Dolores had a clear vision in her mind, how the song should sound, when she wrote it. When she presented the song to her bandmates she said to the drummer "can you please hit the drums real hard?" RIP "Rose of Ireland".
I met Dolores few times, I’ve been to her funeral.
She’s the most sensitive person I’ve ever met. She could understand everything I was thinking without even talk.
She was a sweetheart. May she rest in peace and rise in glory.
Your actual reaction is the best thing to show -- if a song leaves you stunned and you can't comment right away, that's a-ok, getting to see your genuine response makes the whole thing personal.
I'm a tough old man of Scottish Irish descent.....tears every time i witness this iconic song
This AND the Bad Wolves cover of this song, especially with the story behind it and the video...hits in the feels every time.
@@dwarvensmith80 I play the the bad wolves version because it has keys. One of my favorites to play because the crowd feels it.
As a Norwegian of Finnish descent... I cry with you.
But we're besties us 2 too countries ao I don't blame you
Count me another Scottish + Irish lad who feels the same!
It's called keening.A Celtic lament. Love her voice.So strong and emotional. ..
Please keep your reactions as unedited as you can! That's what makes YOU so special! "Everyone" out there seems to be a robot, afraid of feelings... your audience appreciates you for what and how you portray your analyses! We are humans, capable of feelings. We are all flawed individuals, but showing emotions and feelings are NOT flaws! That's why we love this platform!
Flawlessly doesn't mean perfection. You're right, most people spends too much time trying to presents themseves in certain way instead of simply be themselves. It's not that easy to be honest with yourself, yet with another people though.
I always enjoyed how Dolores kept her Limerick accent in her singing and her use of keening. She was a very original and unique talent, who left this earth entirely too soon. This is a very emotional and powerful song, so your reaction is completely understandable and appreciated.
It was very interesting your mention of the Celtic/ Gaelic tradition of Keening. Not really well up on the subject I looked it up, where else but on Wikipedia.and it seems the song is a perfect example of the tradition thank you for bringing it up I’m now going to have to find more examples of of it in Ann attempt to learn more about it. 👍👏👏👏👏
Yes keening is beautiful. If you didn't know you may be interested, Bad Wolves did a remake that was supposed to have her in the video but she died before it was done. It's still a great video, nothing like the first but still impactful
@@PeterBeacham-pe1uf"Keening" cones from the Irish verb "caoineadh", to weep or cry
Been listening to this song for 30 years and it still breaks my heart every time 😢
I HEAR THAT! 💀💕💕💕
Same. Whenever the song comes on, I know I'm gonna be a mess.
OMG it is that long - feels so present and prescient every time makes it seem more recent. RIP D.
I love you.
You're probably thinking "you don't even know me". But if people can hate for no reason, I can love.
No, honesty, you are an incredibly beautiful soul. Watching you makes me believe there's still good people out there.
"But if people can hate for no reason, I can love" Beautifully put
@@HororKodStudio I second that. I think I will take that as a motto to live by.
Here here
When claim that others hate „for no reason“, they‘re often just to the reason. I visited Ireland shortly after the Good Friday was reached. At the time my country still warned against visiting Northern Ireland, due to the - thankfully unfounded fear the agreement wouldn‘t hold. I took a wrong turn and the first thing I saw was a „police station“. The thing looked like a fortress walls at least four metres high, crowned with razor wire - using that stuff is considered a war-crime today - and surrounded by tower with machine gun emplacements (the actual guns were no longer, but the means to attach them were unmistakable) giving them a 360 degree firing arc and thus the ability to create a circle of death several hundred meters around the building. That thing was by far the most hostile and fear inducing bit of architecture I‘ve seen in my life - and I‘ve been to East Germany while it was still under communist rule. I cannot imagine growing up catholic in the shadow of one of those police stations, knowing it‘s directed against catholics and not growing to hate the put who put that constant threat of death into my neighbourhood. Which makes the fact that the good Friday agreement is still in effect one of the greatest achievements of peace of my life-time.
I so understand what you mean, well put. Thanks!!
Her keening gives me absolute chills every single time I hear this.
This is honestly one of the most powerful songs I've ever heard. Her voice, the message, the circumstances, and the fact that 30 years later its still relevant creates such an important piece of musical history. The use of keening is particularly amazing. RIP Dolores. Never forget the two children who's passing spurred this songs creation, and all the children who have died since in needless wars.
Its not just the music, the video is also a rare masterpiece........I have yet so see anyone with human feelings no to end up in tears
Yeah and i visisted the places not realizing i did a couple of years after this song was released. And i can tell you its also the best truth i've ever heard about it.
Amen to this In Peace beautiful Dolores and beautiful Sinead O'x
I want to give Lolli a big hug now, Zombie was written by Dolores O'Riordan in response to and in memory of two young victims of an IRA bombing. I would rather see the genuine emotional impact of a video Lolli, don't worry about that. We lost Dolores too soon, gone to that great gig in the sky but never forgotten 🙏
+1 to the hug
@@MalakianM2S+ 2
Okay, hug que starts here.
Singers like Dolores always amaze me. I don't know how you can put so much emotion into something and not sob and cry and scream... I could never hold it together enough to be a singer, I always let a guitar or bass do my speaking. And even then emotions run high and I'd loose myself in the emotion of a song.
The kids silent scream always hits so hard.
RIP Dolores
Song makes me cry every time I hear it.
Because it’s that bad? Me
Too….. me too.
@@scjohnk the internet is now infested with disruptors like you. It's a shame and only slowing down any kind of progress.

NEVER replace genuine feels. We NEED more of that in this world. It's this very thing that draws me to your channel. Your sense of humor is right there also. Love what you do!
Keep the emotions in. It's the main attraction for me.
Concerning putting on an American accent when UK artists sing, as an American musician, growing up I was always intrigued with those UK accents, and loved the few artists who sang in their own accents, like Johnny Rotten. We LOVED hearing that "IIIIIIIII, WANT TO BEEEEEE, ANARCHEEEEEEE"!
I was once asked to describe this song in one word, all I could come up with is gutpunch.
I think it's a masterpiece, you feel the pain when she sings, the music and her voice is perfect.
As a Northern Irish person who grew up during the 80s, 90s, this one hit hard. I appreciate how you have tried to comprehend the pain and confusion, and the risk to innocence that such times can result in, and of course you can appreciate how Dolores and gang so aptly conveyed that musically and vocally in this piece. That you bring up contemporary painful events unfolding as we speak, is very apt. It brings up the question, who are the real terrorists?
free speech ("hate speech") is illegal right now in Ireland ...
who are the real terrorists? - Tommy
Dolores had an incredible voice. Rest in peace.
Makes you hurt from start to finish. Delores was special, and we where blessed with her music. It makes us a better people than without her.
Thanks for making me 😭 you are such a bright light in any room. Have a wonderful day Lolli
Your real-honest-first-raw reactions set you apart and place you directly into the hearts of your fans. Never stray from that format, because we need confirmation of our own emotions as we listen, and to be reminded that music is meant to help us feel thoughts.
You got this one just right. Anyone who isn't at least a little teary by the scene where the kids are silently screaming isn't paying enough attention.
Bad wolves did a cover of this song. Delores was going to do the chorus and then she tragically died. They released the cover anyways. It's well done.
It's garbage. They are simply singing her words. There is no real emotion in it. No real story. No real attachment. It's as if, dare I say it, it were created by zombies.
Authenticity is the pinnacle of reaction channels. The more true to your honest reactions you are, the better.
The raw emotion of her keening makes this so timeless. It's a harrowing listen every time, yet so beautiful and so important of a song.
Wouldn't surprise me if a majority of people don't know what keening is
@@kennethabebdroth8513 I think at the very least Dolores made most people know that it is a traditional way of expressing grief, sorrow, and sadness for the deceased.
@@liamengram6326 The thing is, although I'm 58 years old and have known the word "keening" since childhood (and had a rough idea of the sound it referred to), I don't think it ever heard or seen anyone use it in reference to this song - or to Dolores at all - until right now.
Certainly when this song first started appearing on the radio, decades ago, it was a sound we Surrey-ites had never heard before! (But then for most of us, "Irish" just meant Terry Wogan and Val Doonican and "those thick people in all the jokes"; and the letters "IRA" just meant "don't go to London unless you really have to". =:o/ )
This song is a true masterpiece.Doloras was a one of a kind talent.RIP
Absolutely the best and most poignant vocal analysis/review of the song Zombie ever done. She is deeply missed...RIP Dolores O'Riordan, your music stands as an everlasting tribute to your heart.
Heard it a million times, still chills.
Their song, “Dreams” is easily one of my all-time favorites. It’s cutesy on the surface level but speaks directly to my soul. I’d love to hear your take.
you did this perfectly. Watch it straight through for the emotion, then chop it for the analysis info. perfection!
Amazing reaction - I got all weepy along with you. I teach about this song in my university music history course - when Dolores sings "But you see, it's not me / It's not my family", I think she's addressing the extremists who carry on the violence, as they claim, in the name of the Irish people. She is essentially saying, "Don't you dare claim to be fighting for me or my family - we want none of your bloodshed." Don't ever stop showing how hard a song hits you - your reaction is so profoundly human and moving.
I think she is addressing the attitude of the middle class, who bear witness to an atrocity and fall into paralysis. This weakness is justified by the fact that you are not affected yourself.It is a call to everyone to stand up against violence and not to hide behind excuses.
Gotta love Art. Ooen to interpretation by each individual that experiences it. The song/lyrics mean both of your interpretations.
When I first heard this song in 1994, I cried too. It is very dark and it feels heavy on the heart. I cried watching it here on your channel.
This is the best vocal analysis that I have ever heard!!❤❤ Your emotional response is beautiful. When I watched this video the first time, I cried my eyes out, and I'm doing it again watching you react so emotionally. I am highly emotional, and I'm a 74 year old male musician. Fairy Voice Mother, I can truly say that I love you.On top of your empathy, sensitivity, intelligence, you are hilarious. You made my day!! ❤❤😊😊❤❤
Dear Lolli,
To me you stand out amongst the various reaction channels out there, particularly because you are so empathetic. There are so many false emotions out there, specifically aimed at harvesting views and likes, it is refreshing to see some honousty. I saw your emotional reaction to Johnny Cash's version of Hurt before, and your tears made me feel free to let go of my own. Please don't ever change.
This song is another one of those gems out there that is aimed at touching people deep inside. If one would not at the very least feel uncomfortable, it would not have the intended impact. I think it is fitting that you sat through it completely, unable to speak. Breaking the video up afterwards to interject the technicalities, to be fair was a little odd at times, but I am convinced it is the best option available.
Sorry for the lengthy response, but I wanted to make it absolutely clear that you need not be afraid of people not liking the way this video came out. If any do, that's their loss.
This ginormous amount of reactions confirms that we love Lolli as she is. Don't ever change, Mum, and don't apologize for being you.
Lolli- you are amazing. Please be your authentic self. ..and this song absolutely breaks me down into tears every time. Its message is unfortunately timeless.
Its nice to see a genuine reaction to Delores voice. I have loved the Cranberries for decades and i still get tears in my eyes listening to her amazing voice.
There is no greater compliment to a musician than showing raw emotion to their performance. Never deprive yourself and your audience of what you’re feeling towards a song, Lolli
I was a teenager when I heard Zombie and The Cranberries and I instantly fell in love with Dolores. Their music helped me through dark times and now 30 years later I still get goosebumps. Daffodil Lament is such an emotional roller coaster and my absolute favorite. I 'll be happy to see your reaction :)
I, too, heard them for the first time as a teen in the 90s. I didn't like it at first, her vocals were too alien for me at the time. 10 years and a lot of folk metal later, in the early 2000's I heard this again and had the same feeling you did. I just had to understand what she was doing a little better to really grasp the whole thing. Can't wait to see this reaction
Whole album is great, title song is my fav. I like also "Electric Blue".
If they hit you in the feels that way...let it ride. It's how we experienced that sing as well and it's nice to know that we're not alone with feelings
This song WRECKS me, EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. Thank you for how/why. I can't hug you, but as a 70's/80's Irish survivor, I can feel you feel the keening. I'm sorry you have to feel it too. Delores's passing was a loss to the world, but your video helps keep her remembered as the amazing talent she was. Thanks FVM.
There’s just something about Irish singers, their voices just seem to cut right through you with an angelic beauty
Aw thanks
Dolores Mary Eileen O'Riordan had a fantastic and unique voice which you can hear on the song linger, a great loss to music.
I love Irish music!
There’s always a metallic feel to women voices in Ireland.
@@spirishabroad - I don't agree. Metallic is cold and most Irish women's voices are not. Sinead O'Connor had a strong voice and loud at times, (for emphasis) but not metallic. You couldn't say that about Enya either.
Always keep the raw version. Don't be embarrassed by your emotion it's why I like your reactions so much. Your a lovely person😊
I have been listening to this song for 30 years and it still gets me emotional and teary..
Dolores O'Riordan is one of the best singers of her era. Such a unique voice. R.I.P. she was a treasure to anyone who loves music
Her use of Keening was done to perfection!! As keening is used at funerals and is a mournful wailing sound!
This song hits hard. It was meant to. All that emotion in her voice was as real as it gets. Her ability to channel that into such moving music was just genius.
Dolores was and will always be a beautiful soul and human being. The world is less since she left, but I hope we can keep and try to rebuild it in her honor.
Keep it raw. Don’t ever edit or censure yourself Lolli. When you groove I groove with you, when you laugh I laugh with you, and when you cry I cry with you. You’re the best reactor/analysis creator on CZcams. ❤
Loli, a genuine reaction is exactly why people are drawn to your channel. This song is both a real challenge and absolutely brilliant and you have really engaged with it. If you want a song to really cheer you up, I defy you not to laugh or smile at the theme from the Muppets…
Mah Na Mah Na...
I'd say Kermit performing Rainbow Connection. But really there's a few musicals I'd love to see Lolli react to the whole thing--The Muppet Movie, Grease, Rocky Horror ....
I just wanted to say that as someone who often doesn't feel emotions strongly at all, sometimes its incredibly therapeutic to witness your emotions and feel what I can vicariously through your reactions. Ive watched both your johnny cash "Hurt" and "toad sings chandelier" a dozen times each. You wear your heart on your sleeve and it just means so much to me.
Perfect examples!!! Two polar opposites that were felt in the core and shared very generously ❤
After watching this I was thinking I need to go watch lolly’s reaction to toad sings chandelier 😂
Another one she loses it is Yebba - My Mind
Probably the best reaction I’ve ever seen. This song reaches deep inside and yanks on the strings as your honest outpouring of emotions show.
In response to your disclaimer…
Young lady, your raw, real, emoting to virtually every reaction you’ve created thus far is why I’m here. I, like many, “feel” music and watching your real-time absorption of the art you are experiencing, is quite powerful. I watch more YT than I care to admit but your channel is 1 that I frequent often. Seriously, if I feel the need to feel, I’ll re-watch 1 of your reactions over and over. This 1 is more melancholy. Some are more uplifting. I do enjoy them all. Keep up the great work.
I think your reaction is exactly the type that was intended when they wrote and recorded the song. Thanks so much for giving us an open and brutally honest reaction and analysis. You are loved and appreciated. ♥
As my best friend's dad always used to say, "Music is meant to be felt."
Keep the raw emotions and come back to give insight when you collect yourself.
The honesty of this video is so so powerful. I wouldn't mind you keeping genuine emotions in your videos, it's the part of watching anyone react to anything. It keeps it genuine and after all, you go back and explain so no worries!
The most sincere reaction I've seen done by anyone. Well done.
💔 This old man loves your reactions. I find them healing.
Lovely Lolli, ALWAYS keep your raw reactions in because it shows your humanity and your empathy. Most of us who are subscribed love you BECAUSE of your empathy and humanity. NO one better at this than you my friend. Sending as many hugs as possible.
I LOVE that you let yourself react to the music and let the professionalism fall aside for a true reaction. This is how I would love to see reactions happen. An actual reaction. You can go back and analyze after while analyzing how it made you actually feel. Please do more like this.
I would even say that real proffesionalism is to let yourself react emotionally without stopping and analizing and THEN go back and do some analisis part by part. Emotional experience should be important factor in analisis of any song as emotions are the most important part in art
That you experience the emotions and then can explain the vocal and musical techniques that go into bringing that visceral experience into being is why I watch reactors such as yourself. You also clearly have a vast muscial expertise to share. Don't change a thing.
I can only agree Girl... and cry along with You....
I Miss Delores.....
Crying right along w us, yes!
Yup. The video served it’s purpose. It wrecks all of us the first time. I saw it when it first aired when I was young. And it got me the same way. It was intended to invoke that response. Intended to make the world think about how the greed of the few affects the innocent.
I think the song has gotten only more powerful in the years since and, sadly, more relevant and universal.
I only just discovered your channel today, but I was immediately drawn in by the fact that you put your reactions on display seemingly without censorship or filtering. I generally react very emotionally to music, and it is so rewarding to watch someone else who reacts to music in a similar manner. I definitely prefer the way this one was done versus one where you'd stop yourself from showing emotions.
Harrowing is the perfect word to describe this song. I’ve heard several people try to cover it and making it either too pretty or too much of an exercise in vocal gymnastics. Among the many amazing things O’Riordan is able to accomplish in the performance is infusing every note with the perfect expression of smoldering - and then explosive - outrage. It’s the musical equivalent of weeping and screaming and pounding walls in frustration.
One of the real virtues of CZcams is that it affords people (like me) with a genuine but perhaps less refined understanding of a topic to interact with people whose depth of knowledge far exceeds our own. We know how we feel when we experience a piece of music, but we may not understand the nuanced artistic choices the performer made to express her intent. What I really appreciate about your analyses is how effectively they lay those choices bare without overly dissecting the meaning of the song or reducing its impact. You have a true gift for such illuminations.
Please, do not for a minute think that our desire to more deeply appreciate a piece or music or musical performance precludes you from having a genuine human experience of it. A song about 3-year-old child and a 12-year-old child dying as collateral damage in a decades-long drumbeat of hatred should be devastating; any hope we have of moving past tragedies like the Warrington bombings (or any of countless mass shootings here in the US, or what’s happening right now to blameless families in Ukraine or Palestine, and on and on) lies in having the precise reaction you had and were so generous to share with us. Please do not ever become inured to these feelings, or apologize for having the bravery to share them with us. We love you for it.
Thank you for inspiring us…we look forward to more.
Thank you for sharing. I appreciated you mixing your first reaction and later analysis together. It lets us appreciate the emotional impact of the work as well as the technique. When a song can make you cry like this one does, that's a sign of an amazing artist. Still makes me cry this many years later.
Coming from a part of ireland, and era, where the “troubles” never affected me… but dolores was one of our heroes that single handedly brought our country, and our north, together without inciting violence. She voiced our frustrations and anger and made an impact. When she only died 2 years ago we made sure her voice never left us, especially during the rugby World Cup. We made sure the world knew our pride and our loss of one of our saints.
I love that you expressed your emotions on this video. That is exactly what this song should do to people. You made me cry, and for that I thank you. I've been performing this song for years, and got a bit used to the subject. I needed this.
I really appreciate that you showed your true and genuinely emotional reaction. We love to enjoy music so much we can sometimes forget how impactful it can be when it has a message and seeing that message landing so hard and still to hear your interpretations and musical dissection was just phenomenal.
Don't ever apologize for being a sweet,sensitive and caring person.How wonderful it would be if there were more of us out there.I like this version of you.More please.
Pls keep the raw versions, you have a very special talent, a rare gift, and an awesome heart and genuineness the world needs more of. The people here, including me, love you for who you are and the passion you have for music..❤
I love and appreciate your vulnerability and insight. Don't ever stop expressing your raw emotions as part of your reviews!
Please never change and never hide your emotion reactions. You are easily the most emotionally connected CZcams content creator I have ever watched. I am so connected to the music/lyrics that I always wonder if there are people like me who just FEEL the music and the how the lyrics tell stories. I simply can't get enough of your reaction videos.
I love it when you edit your videos like this. We get an honest reaction and an in depth analysis. It's quite brilliant really.
One of the most important songs out there. Loved it since I was a child and the video reminds me of watching the news at that time. Her seething anger caused by generations of senseless violence is breathtaking.
About a year or so ago this song came on the TV as I was chilling with my eight year old. By the end of it I was in floods of tears as I realised that thankfully she wont have the childhood I did.
I grew up during 'The Troubles.' There were so many 'Warringtons' that it was almost easier to become anesthetised to the pain ("But you see, it's not me, It's not my family..."). But music will always find the way to challenge and ultimately break through. This song is the perfect example of that.
For you to glean all the inferences you got without knowing the events that inspired it prove it.
Your emotion is entirely appropriate. There is no shame in it.
THIS!!! This is what music is about! Best vocal analysis/reaction channel on YT.
As an emotionally sensitive person , I fully understand just how hard that was for you. Thank you for being willing not to edit it out and share those raw emotions with us. ❤ major respect for that.
Obviously a song about a specific incident during the "troubles" in Ireland. I love the emotion she poured into this song. It's best listen at max volume. She was just an amazing singer. She is missed. God rest her soul, may she rest in peace😢❤🇨🇦
Jesus, your reaction broke me. I love so much that you showed your emotions on this. Music is such a wonderful way to share human experience, and seeing other people be just as affected by a song as you are is like nourishment for the soul.
I like your approach to analyzing as well. Just subscribed. I’m a fan of yours already. Thank you for covering this song. The Cranberries are incredible, and seeing their music be appreciated like this makes my lil 90s heart so fkn happy.
Hey, Lolli. Finally got to watching this - I was dreading it because I hate to see you cry. But that's a part of life, isn't it? Don't change a thing about the video. I so appreciate your courage to sit through the emotions and not hold back. I would recommend not to do this kind of video too often. Also, I never noticed all of the detail that you have - that was very insightful! Absolutely spectacular - don't change a thing about the video or yourself. Big fat hug! 🤗🤗
When I first heard this song, in 1994, I was 13 years old and I couldn't believe what was playing on the radio. So powerful... I almost felt like my soul was leaving me lol.
Don’t deprive yourself of the emotional experience that can come from a first listen. Ride it out and check back with us later. ❤
Humility is always atractive. Your heart and points of veiws always seems to open my eyes to some perspectives, love your work.
I recently found your channel and subbed straight away.
Because you let the emotions of the song flow through you and don’t hide them.
It’s beautiful to not only see but go through with you.
The power 💥 of music 🎵 ey!! ❤
Don’t ever apologize for feeling emotion. I first heard this song as a teenager & I still get overcome by emotion when I listen to it. Dolores put her heart into this song & you aren’t human if you don’t feel it. ❤
Never apologize for your feelings when they show because of the music. That is why most songs are written to evoke feelings. You showing your feelings and how a song effects you connects you to others that feel the same. For me a second video for analysis isn't a bad thing. This song still gets me since I first heard it you aren't alone.
Bless your vulnerable heart. You remain human even now, and this art takes you there. Thank you for sharing your humanity with us. It’s a golden glittering breath of fresh air. ❤️🙏
you're literally my favourite person to watch these with cause you're so knowledgeable technically and you also are very expressive it's great to see your emotions come through too
YES!!!! Always keep the emotion! I’m not a musician, but I’m drawn to your channel because of my appreciation of your own vocal talent, your ability to analyze and break down the technical aspects of voice and performance, your humor, and especially by the way you are impacted by music and comfortable sharing that impact through your emotions. My daughter is a musician, and you have helped me see and understand how music impacts her. The first video I watched of yours was your reaction to Pentatonix “Hallelujah”. The entire video was great, but your rant about how “some people do horrible things, but some people do THIS!” is what got me hooked to your channel and earned my subscription. You do you, and keep doing you. 😊
Have loved The Cranberries for a long time, had so many great songs. The anniversary of Dolores's passing was on the 15th of January. Only 46 years old when she passed in 2018, much too young to leave us. She was in Mayfair at the time 😢😢😢 but she left us with a pretty good sized library of music and memories ❤❤❤ love your channel- and love youuu!
Your reaction was something special and touching and shows how music can be a powerful tool. I totally loved your reaction and analysis of this beautiful song ❤ thank you
Your reaction was very genuine! You reminded me of the first time I heard this song when I was little, which although I didn't understand her lyrics very much (English is not my native language) it did have a big impact on me. I also enjoyed and learned a lot from your analysis of her vocal technique, I love all of Dolores' work and I had your reaction one of the times I got to see her sing live.
