The original version illustrates the disgust and horror of war/terrorism as this version gives power to the pain and sorrow it causes. Both versions are beautiful in their own way. Never thought I would see the day someone could cover this song so amazingly. Ms. Sykes is ludicrously talented!
seriously? bad wolves covered it amazingly
@@HitManRickyTan Finally listened to the bad wolves cover. I didn't enjoy it, it just felt boring, no soul. I also didnt like that they changed the line to say "drones" instead of "guns," which was an obvious jab at America, and considering the original song was written about the IRA in Ireland, terrorists mind you, I cant help but think the band was trying to imply America as being terrorists... perhaps im over analyzing.
@@noobsandwich4598 fair enough bud...
I thought the same, it´s a song that isn´t easily covered, the balance to "stay"/keep up with the original and yet to create something new is imense, but it was smooth mastered ^^
Noob Sandwich, I don't think the band implies that, but now that you mentioned: USA made up lies to invade and start wars in several countries (see Irak and the Bush administration), they murdered many innocent people in other countries. They even murdered their own people systematically by the police (many things just come out because there are cameras now). The only difference between terrorists is that USA is a big country and has more power and can cover these things up easily.
She actually gives me chills. The sorrow on her voice and the power behind every note was just gorgeous.
True😭
I agree
I cry every time I listen to this song ❤
Beautiful
I'm covered in goose bumps right now!
I really love how this one has more lament than the original. As others said, the original was outrage at the conflict, but this is the mourning that follows it. I didn't even make it to the first chorus before I started to tear up. This will always be one of the most important songs in my life, it made me want to write music, and this is hands down my favorite take on it.
Now you are also making me cry. I relish the feelings and continue to fight. Thank you.
Consider the struggle from which Soul music sprang. From my understanding as an outsider, looking in from a position of deep appreciation and respect for the art form, there are deep parallels between the African American experience and the Troubles of Ireland.
If there were any style that could truly express the pain and fury this song is made of, it would be Soul.
I'm not ashamed to admit I teared up and got chills. Speaks volumes not only to the original band, but what is going on our world today. Thank you, Post Modern Jukebox. You did this song more than justice ♥️♥️
no way, nothing to be ashamed about. I ALWAYS cry at this song, unfortunately it never stops being relevant to our world
Dolores O'Riordan sang with outrage at war conflict . Maiya Sykes sang as mother's lament at war conflict. No comparison is needed.
Why always the comparison???...that's absurd
He says, while drawing a comparison between the two.
An apt contrast, Chris. (Apparently some people don't know that "compare" and "contrast" are opposites.)
I think they're the same, really. Any mother would feel outrage, and sorrow. Culturally, the sorrow comes across strngly in African American soul music, and harshness is translated well in Irish songs of anguish and lament. It's partly their language and accent.
I think the comment means "no need to criticize the differences between the two" when it says "no comparison is needed."
Absolutely LOVED the way the trumpet subtly played off the vocals. What a great arrangement/performance.
I've never thought of the trumpet as the ideal instrument to do this kind of delicate work, so this is delightful.
The trumpet player actually constantly looks at her for cues. Such excellent artists.
Love the trumpet
@@michealmcerlean8274 A beautiful counterpoint between the trumpet and the voice. It helps that the trumpet was muted.
Have to agree, I have never heard trumpet played softly off the vocals like that before - and just so beautifully balanced. AND then the subtle bass guitar too! Hats off to Maiya and all the musos and the star on the mixing desk.
The way she says zombie is so... Sad? Like... It sounds like a mother who watches her son return from war for him to only be a PTSD riddled shell of his old self, and she doesn't know how else to describe it, but she knows her son is so much more than a walking corpse. It sounds like discomfort and just a little bit of anger. Jesus... Songs don't make me cry often but this really got me
Soon after the Afghanistan invasion after 9-11, there was a report on how it was affecting the families. An older black man in Indianapolis was interviewed. He looked straight into the camera and said "George W. Bush, you took my only son away from me."
@@mollygarden9535 fucking ouch. That really hits hard :(
Nailed it......
oh God, u just made me cry! Thanx for that
btw, I really like how u worded that. I felt that too once u said so. I knew it was a strong emotion I couldnt quite pin~point at the time but u nailed it! Thanx!Love and Peace from Philly!!! 🌈💖🎶
The performance of this is beautiful and hits right to the heart. Anyone who reads this? Please understand that this song is specifically about an IRA bombing that killed two boys, ages 3 and 12, the latter had to be taken off life support by his family 5 days after the attack because he never had any real brain function from head trauma.
At least one of them had been out shopping for a mother's day card, possible both depending on where you read.
As much as the original version flat out screams anger and pain? This version, if you know the story behind the song, is just disgusted sadness like those children's families must still feel.
EDIT 4/16/2021: Thank you everyone for all the "👍" and contributions in the comments. I appreciate you all taking the time to read my somewhat long-winded explanation of the truth behind the song. Its important we know our real history, and never forget it.
Thank you I had no idea
Thanks. Enjoyed this more than original. Felt more passionate.
Nikki Salazar saying that to an Irish person is sacrilege 😝 The first version was released right after it happened, so the pain and passion was definitely required from Deirdre. This version seems more appropriate since much time has passed. They were both necessary and this is a stunning version that has me in floods of tears every single time
@@nikkisalazar6726 Disagree. This version has far less passion. More soleful and sad, but the original is much angrier and has far more angst.
I agree the death of any child is disgusting. whether that being by the IRA, the Labour party or Sinn Fain, they all have have responsibilty and it is only the people of Northern Ireland who can say when this wil stop. In the mean time let the IRA divuldge wherew the bodies are so that RUC officers wives can bury their dead.
I have waited 58 years for this genre. The combination of Wood, Brass, Ivory/Ebony, and pure genius of arrangement is not lost on me. It is like the cornucopia of musical grace, sound and vibration come alive here in all of these arrangements. i can't stop listening to the entire mix, I am glued to my Laptop, waiting to see what next angelic song will come next. The voices of these ladies are incredible, without peers. How it all comes together is enlightening. Thank you for sharing this. I know it is over-dramatic, but as a musician myself, it adds so much pleasure, so much need to go forth and copy, and engross myself with this new style and see what I can do with other songs. "Oh no, I have said too much", but once again. THANK YOU
welcome to the world of Post Modern Jukebox.
John Frymyer being 58 I totally agree. I’m a huge PMJ fan now too!
The muted trumpet adds so much to a remarkable arrangement and spectacular vocal.
aí e talento megro afro ericano baba
Doesn’t it though! Then add her register! Chills!
Cranberries. Bad Wolves. And now this. Each speak from a different perspective. Cranberries with awareness. Bad Wolves with rage and anger. This one with sadness and lamentation. All three powerful. All three reduced me to tears.
Just looking at the concentration on the vocalists face before she started singing I knew I was going to listen to something very special,and I wasn't disappointed! I'm a massive Cranberries fan and I imagine that Dolores o'Riodan would look down from heaven and smile in appreciation of this performance.
Well I just cried my fucking eyes out. So thanks for that, you talented monsters.
You'll get over it... Being moved like this is part of being human
Same.
same. I could never cover this song, I can't even hear it without bawling like a baby, if I ever tried singing it in front of people I'd be a collapsed mess on the floor lol
@@childofthesun8889I’ve found that being focused on performing is the only way I can hear this song without crying. It’s also really cathartic.
You can hear the pain and torture in her voice. This is hands down my favorite cover of Zombie.
You can feel the emotion in this cover. She made it her own, and delivered it in a powerful way. There are a few good covers, and this one nailed it. Miss you, Dolores.
This is the first cover I’ve heard that come close to capturing the haunting emotion of the original. Absolutely beautiful
The cover that Bad Wolves did was pretty close too.
Bad Wolves and Delores were supposed to be doing a collaboration version of this song, when she tragically passed right before the recording. Bad Wolves went ahead and released their own cover in her memory. It is pretty damn good, just like this one.
It took nearly 9 months for me to be able to listen any Cranberries covers....
And I'm so glad this one was the first one ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️.
Such a heartfelt tribute to Dolores. Hope she found peace😞
She didn't find peace. She drowned in a bathtub. :(
9 months since what?
@@SilentBudgie you know what's he's mind. Her Soul........Dummy
Delores died and made me cry
I know, and I just recently had a cranberries day, and I got it all out. cranberries with Dolores must live on!
When I saw Zombie on the list, I was intrigued to find out how they would do this song. After listening to it, I can think of no better way than a Soul cover. Amazing!
it's like she's singing and at the same time praying for the war to stop. Praying for peace on everyone's heart coz in the end we're all end up loosing those people that we love the most.
At first I hit play and just shrugged, thinking it was just a slowed down version the original. And then the vocals really kicked in. Holy hell, that's a powerful cover.
I can't express in words how much I love this woman's voice.
I've been waiting for this fitting tribute to Dolores for a while now. Thank you Maiya, it was an absolutely beautiful arrangement, made slightly more special by Scott choosing not to play piano! You guys, put the CLASS in ... PMJ.
honestly i just forgot to hire a bass player
+Johnald Redham
Who let you out of the insane asylum?
Johnald Redham that escalated quickly..
Either that guy don't know the context of the song and is not fluent in English, or just bad at jokes. Either way, calm it down a notch and let us appreciate this great performance.
Considering the playlists he made on his own channel, I figure he must be fluent in English. He just doesn't understand metaphors.
I never thought the way she sings would tear my heart and made me cried. While the original one will always gives me the same haunting vibe where it building the rage in me to stand up for ones who greatly suffered…this one gives me the chill like i was lamenting for a long time on such “experience” first hand. Both versions are so beautiful-
Dolores O'Riordan was looking down on you with pride when
you did this song.
Dude, I will cry. I'm sad bc of Dolores and the song.
This song is so transcendent. Dolores sings it and I hear a young Irish woman mourning the cost of a rebel bombing. Maiya sings it and I hear a Black mother holding the body of her son after yet another police shooting. Tommy Vext sings it and I hear a soldier grieving for his lost innocence and brothers in arms. They are all perfect. They are all heartbreaking.
Wow...🤧
How about something more realistic on the end of that, a mother holding the body of her son after another random shooting by others in her community with illegal guns. And the tragedy of that he isn't the first son she's lost to the streets. That's the reality I see.
DanOfTheWild do you not think that even if people of colour are more likely to commit those crimes, it’s because of the socio-economic issues in society which push them to do so, such as the difficulty of getting a quality education.
DanOfTheWild I believe most development is attributed to the area not the people, for example Europe and Asia have many livestock such as horses, cows, pigs, chickens etc which can be domesticated allowing for static development, whereas places like Africa have very few animals which could be domesticated
That's exactly what I heard. I am a cemeterian in Chicago. I hear the stories of mothers who lose children to gun violence.
Look! Scott got legs!!!
LOL weird not seeing him on the piano
Lol! 😂he looks great on the guitar too though... lovely arrangement!
Titanium alloy!
Magic legs
They added them in post with some fancy CGI.
Dolores O Riorden, was born 5 miles from my house. I know her family. Great friends with her niece, actually hooked up with her one night.
This song holds a very special place in my heart and my head. Sometimes when I'm on a quiet road. I sing this with tears rolling down my face, ugly crying.
Lucky dog!
Damn ! She did Dolores proud !!! She even did the Irish keening !
Because of Dolores' orginal and haunting vocals, this is such a difficult song to cover, even--no--ESPECIALLY when adapted to fit another genre.
However, this is the cover that I believe nails it.
Seriously, y'all keep doing what you do; y'all have some great potential.
🤘
This isn't potential. This is it.
Beautiful. That's a Grammy-worthy tribute right there.
(and nice work on the bass Mr. Bradlee)
When tears start running down your face while listening to this song, do not be ashamed and do not worry. It proves true that you are still a human being.
Bless ya'll.
The emotion of grief and mourning in her voice brought tears to my eyes...
Whether you like the style or not, you cannot deny that it's very powerful.
Are there people who don't like this?!? Tf?!?
@@denrico777 yes, there are... Sad but true
I've watched this video maybe two dozen times and I can't stop crying every time I hear it. I know young guys teenage and college age and just pray so hard that they will never be drawn into war. They've no idea what it's like because we don't teach history well. I hope we're not condemned to repeat the past.
You aren’t drawn into war. Good men go to protect those who can’t or won’t. Being overseas there is true evil. I pray that we can keep it away. I fight for that. I do not conjure philosophy assuming purity will always prevail. Stand and do something for others. That is the true draw to war. A true test you’ll never learn in a classroom or a book. I pray God blesses you and your family.
We are condemned. War is pain and we know pain all too well
@@jonathankelly7825 You absolutely are drawn into war if there's a draft.
pussy
We do this to ourselves. This is the greatest test, coexist. We were supposed to be fruitful and multiply. Not destructive and deadly.
I may be sentimental today, but at the moment I think, this is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Stunning. So calm, so sad, so touching. I love it.
This cover of Zombie and Chris Cornell singing Nothing Compares To You are absolutely heart wrenching performances. Very special talents for sure.
I wanna be your friend..
I just love how she tells a story with this song. Her voice always makes me emotional, it's beautiful.
I never comment on music videos but this 'took the cake'. Maiya Sykes transported me to another realm. She is annointed!!
Anyone else got goosebumps or it's just me?
No, but tears in my eyes :'D
No, but tears ...
Put a jumper on and then you won't be so cold
Great cover. They rebuilt the song.
Goosebumps are just you.
I do what I want.
Cameron Johnson on Trumpet ... that sad, forlorn note just rips into you ... then she belts out that pain at full force .... Magnificent.
I've come to the PMJ party late, as I'm not a huge fan of cover/tribute bands, but as I work my way through the PMJ catalogue, this has to be one of the most powerful performances PMJ has put together. Well done, Ms Sykes. Dolores would've been chuff to bits by this, I'm sure.
2023 and STILL as powerful as the day this was recorded..........PMJ, in any configuration, just nails every performance........
1:43 - dude on the right - his face says it all. She's amazing. Amazing.
WOW!!!
What a voice
Went back to look - yep - that’s called respectful appreciation
Speaking as one that grew up in Ireland, and knowing the deep-rooted meaning of the song makes this version just as powerful. Incredible. Whenever you sing it you just can't help putting the emotion into it. Absolutely fantastic.
This is a spectacular performance all the way around. Every member does a great job.I really want to shout out to Cameron Johnson on that muted trumpet, though.
Beautiful
R.I.P. Dolores O'Riordan
Her voice is so beautiful
A human's song of lamentation may sound different depending on where they're from, but every lamentation should break your heart. Chills. Well done.
I cannot put into words how deeply moved I am by this performance. In the climate of conflict this year in the US, where young people are gunned down and churches attacked, I hear the words with renewed meaning. I think of today's mother losing a child to racist violence. I think of people who live by the gun and I wonder what-the-hell is in their head! It is the same old thing since nineteen sixteen, or is it now Juneteenth. Thank you, Russel B, for the original intent and motivation for the song. The song and this performance are a great work of art, and a declaration against war, violence, and gun addiction. Thank you. gratefully.
Maiya Sykes vocal performance of this song is brilliantly heart wrenching.I think she captures the emotional essence of the tune. Fantastic. Thank you Miss Sykes
This is by far my favourite cover, nothing will take away from the orginal due to the sheer raw emotion the song was written about. But this cover is something else and I've listened to it about 100 and could listen another 100. What a beautiful voice this lady has
Going through the PMJ archives again (for fun and feels): This is one of those rare jewels of a video where I wish I could give more than the one like I did, back when it first gave me chills.
I remember when PMJ released this cover... I was left speechless... I mean, I knew she could sing, and that Scott Bradlee does amazing arrangements but nothing prepared me for the full range of emotions, and the tears that just poured... this version touches and awakens the very fibers of your soul. One of my favorites from PMJ
Ugh two years today
R.I.P. Dolores O'Riordan ❤️❤️😔
There’s no shortage of Zombie covers. Done better than others.
None better than this.
You know how Jack Black said music can change the world in that movie? This cover shows just how powerful it can be... Every note is purposeful and unpredictable, yet moving
Это просто невероятно! Спасибо за то, что показали силу искусства. Это одно из лучших исполнений, что я когда-либо слышал. Мое восхищение!
I don't often comment on videos but your cover of this amazing song is a beautiful version of it. It moves my soul as good music should and I hope everyone appreciates it as much as I have. 💙
I feel this down to my toes.
She is just amazing! Her voice has just completely floored me. Wow! 💙💙
Best zombie cover I've ever heard
Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken?
But you see, it's not me
It's not my family
In your head, in your head, they are fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head they are crying
In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie-ie, oh
Du, du, du, du
Du, du, du, du
Du, du, du, du
Du, du, du, du
Another mother's breaking heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
It's the same old theme
Since nineteen-sixteen
In your head, in your head, they're still fighting
With their tanks and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head, in your head, they are dying
In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie-ie
Maiya Sykes is so incredible...
Holy cow. This brought tears to my eyes. Unbelievably moving rendition.
Really liked the muted trumpet sound , just nailed it. Subtle and a perfect addition to the powerful voice.
Sometimes in life there aren't the words to describe what you are experiencing - this is one of those
This cover gave me goosebumps. So chillingly beautiful.
I’m a grown man but I can’t help crying when I hear this song and now especially with the context of wars raging in Ukraine, Gaza, Ethiopia and many other places. Why? The waste. The suffering. The poverty that results for years afterwards. I wish I hadn’t listened to it again now so near bedtime in my nice warm secure house.
Just stumbled upon this, and... Just when you thought you couldn't cram more feeling into this song - along comes Maiya Sykes, which I've never heard about before! Goosebumps gallore! This is hands down AWESOMELY done!! :-D
Such a powerful voice! Even though she keeps it restrained at first, you just know she's sitting on a volcano and you can't wait for her to eventually let it rip! Lovely interpretation too. Sorrowful. Really captures the heartache behind the lyrics.
To say this version is AWESOME!! is an understatement! Beautiful! Haunting!
with nearly 6 million fews there are just 90 thousand people liking that vid? come on what's wrong with you, CZcams? besides that this song is more actual then ever and the performance is absolute fabulous!
OMG! The vocal is unbeatable.
Damn....I mean Damn you guys did something amazing hear. Mrs. Sykes your talent is apparent and awesome. Sing on
Dolores must be so proud and happy in heaven while listening to this amaizing cover. Aaaand Scott playing bass, is the best thing that happened to me in this day.
happy in heaven? - doubtful for a Catholic ~
Paty Castillo You can't listen/see or interact with earth and its people once you're dead, heaven or hell.
Heaven or not, it’s beautiful that Dolores’ memory is carried by others through time, which gives life to her.
probably turning in her grave............read up on catholosism paty....................quite a good cover though
What makes you think she's in heaven?
Not shit talking her, just curious
The second she opened her mouth and started singing, I got chills......and goosebumps.......and wanted to cry.
Crap, that made me tear up...Amazing voice and one of the most charged, emotional songs from the early 90s.
omg her voice tho... a spiritual experience listening to her, sweet jesus
Mayia, You are a powerful singer, Love your voice and this version of Zombie, This has a lot of feeling and emotion, that you can hear in your voice. Beautiful job all around!!
I don't comment often but today I feel like I have to...
Besides the fact that Lady Maiya Sykes changed the word "breaking" to "broken" in the second verse, giving the song a strong mourning/grief feel that her absolutely amazing voice renders perfectly (no, no, I'm not crying, my eyes are just sweaty...) and that she is stunningly georgous in this dress, can we just take a moment to praise her for the fantastic job she did in arranging this already masterpiece of Music (yes, with a capital M) and make it her own?
Miss Sykes, you are a true gem!!! Your voice, your talent, the emotions you pass onto your singing, your beauty... The whole YOU is the most perfect treasure there is!!!
I'm glad I discovered PMJ a few years back and I came across your job with them.
Thank you so much!!!
Her voice is so heavenly and the music in incredible. I can not stop listening to these incredible people. Keep up the fantastic work and keep of giving.
what is she doing to me....it's piercing my soul
No s***!!!!
All I can say is WOW, WHAT A VOICE. This lady is EVERYTHING!!!!
I have yet to be disappointed by anything PMJ has done. This is certainly no exception. The heartfelt soul Maiya conveys is just beyond words.
What kind of people give this performance a thumbs down? Petty.
I served 8 years. To all my fallen brothers. I see your faces everywhere.
Jason Reese 😥
Peace on you and your family my dear brother
peace to you man
🖤
J P no questions, only facts
Simply beautiful. Completely different mood than the Cranberries song but the same impact. Fantastic.
Bought my daughter tickets to see PMJ in Norwich England as a birthday present this year…..she simply said….amazing!!!!
Amazingly powerful performance. Ms. Sykes gave the same energy to this that Ms. Riordan gave to the original, IMHO, as the lyrics fit so much of our present American "troubles'. Thanks to you all for this.
I need an emoji for standing ovation!
her voice is soothing and so beautiful.❤
I think I have 4 generations of goosebumps built up after that.
Gorgeous work, very moving
Always loved this song. I feel the pain of the lyrics in a different way. Beautiful cover.
I love this woman’s voice ❤❤❤❤
Had to listen to it a few times. Such a great version. Love the trumpet, brilliant addition.
OMG she makes me cry, she is amazing, all of you guys. This is an amazing work. Im waching all the videos and I can't stop
Wh... never did I imagine I would cry tonight just because I stumbled upon this on my YT recommendation. The feels 😭😭😭
I saw this live in concert before the video and it took my breath away. It warmed my heart how this song was mastered. Thank you PMJ!
The world should listen to this right now...
Maiya has a wonderful voice and I love the muted trumpet. One of the best PMJ covers by my reckoning.
