The sound on the end of the notes Dolores sings is keening, a traditioning Irish wailing sound used to grieve. Such a beautiful voice we are all keening her loss.
Yeah, I think that they should certainly try listening to Sinead O'Connor also. Mandinka or The Emperor's New Clothes would be a good start because they're rockers. To really go down the traditional Irish path, Loreena Mckennitt - The Mummers Dance and Clannad - An Gleann are very beautiful songs. Or for something different Ashley MacIsaac and Mary Jane Lamond - Sleepy Maggie.
@@keithosmond5730 Not even, born and raised in San Diego. However, I wouldn't have considered myself unlucky to have grown up in British Columbia or the Canadian Rockies, very beautiful places.
I saw The Cranberries in concert back in the late 90s. When they got to this song, they brought out this young girl from the Make-A-Wish Foundation and had her sing the song with them. It was the girls biggest dream to sing with her favorite band. There wasn't a dry eye in the house... There were at least 5000 people at the concert. I'll never forget it. :)
Judging by Brad's smile nearly throughout this entire reaction, and prior Cranberries reactions, I think he has found his favorite band that they've reacted to. Note to Brad: The Cranberries aren't a band you need to "sneak listen" to.
"...never quoit as it seems..." I love that Dolores sang with her own accent. PS It's called "keening". It's an Irish thing: traditionally a whail of grief for a loved one, often at funerals.
Someone get this man a Cranberries greatest hits album right now. I appreciate you brother. I used to go to sleep to her voice when I was a teenager. You got to try Promises. Great review guys 👍
The most beautiful voice I've ever heard, such sadness she left us to soon RIP Dolores,the big man upstairs has his lead vocalist back that's for sure.
I absolutely love watching Brad listen to Dolores! His smile says it all. And to see Lex look at him and smile is so sweet. We love you guys! Thank you guys for everything.
Irish female singers are some of my favourites. They have so much depth to them. Two Irish sisters are some of the best I've ever heard. One, and probably the most famous out of the two, is Enya and the other is her elder sister Moya Brenin who was the lead singer for the band Clannad. There's just something about the Irish singing voice for me. It's beautiful.
lol I've never seen Brad so happy. I definitely wouldn't have expected this to be the group he connected with, but that's the beauty of '90s alternative rock... so many different and unique vibes. You guys should delve deeper into the genre and he'll probably find lots more stuff he likes!
Highly recommend "Ode To My Family" or "When You're Gone" by the Cranberries. Dolores' voice is angelic on both songs... But if you want to hear the raw power of her voice, their song "Promises" live in Paris is absolutely incredible!
I definitely want "Promises" (see my comment). The only "problem" with the Paris performance is that they don't do the "oooh-oooh" part at the start and go right into the song. Still great, but…
One of my favorite things about these reactions is when Lex smiles while looking over at Brad. Just the light up in her expression and those check bones. That smile is contagious.
Hopefully i'm early enough that you'll see this before it gets lost in the hundreds of comments. You will get a lot of recommendations for Ode To My Family, When You're Gone and Salvation... all good songs, but also all singles that got a lot of radio play. I would recommend going for some deeper cuts and checking out songs like.. Them, Daffodil Lament, Yeat's Grave (there's 2 short spoken bits in this song so you really get to hear her lovely Limerick accent), and Sunday. Some underrated and underappreciated songs, but all with great sound (as always) in Dolores's voice. And Lex rightly points out at 4:38 about the layering of her voice. The way she harmonizes with herself is amazing and adds to that angelic sound that she produces.
It's really nice to get to see Brad really enjoy a song. I feel like a lot of times he's just along for the ride, and he isn't really enjoying the music that much.
Been binge watching y'alls reaction to metal music, cuz I grew up listening to it, along with country, rock and 80's music. But, Dolores from the cranberries does bring a smile to your face and a calm to the soul. This song and her voice is beautiful. RIP Dolores
Dolores brought so much beauty into this world and her beautiful work continues through her music. She is changing and transforming lives of people she will never meet or know.
Another unique voice with sort of a "yodel" effect is Jewel (also pretty big in the '90s). Check her out... best starting point would probably be her first big single, "Who Will Save Your Soul".
I grew up here in Ireland, it's strange to think that this traditional Irish singing technique is unusual in other parts of the world, especially since all my favourite female vocalists have come from African American gospel and Jazz music
This is the most excited I’ve ever seen Brad about anyone, he has such a huge crush on Dolores. And You can tell Lex is a little jealous. These two are so entertaining!
Just came across your channel tonight and I've been binging all night long, about three hours now. Though all the videos I've watched I never saw Brad smile so much and soften his facial expressions. More Cranberries for Brad, please. By the way, outstanding reaction channel, you two rock!
I think this is the first time we've ever seen Lex be a little jealous! If you want to hear another angelic, fairy-like voice, listen to Aurora. She is otherworldly. I suggest It Happened Quiet--Live at the Current
I loved Brads smile as soon as that first line was sung. He’s thawing out! You just need to find the music that touches you personally. I’m so used to seeing Lex lose herself in the music and now Brads on his way.
So sad that she passed away…she was beautiful and had an amazing voice. Really a very talented artist. It seems like the most talented people in the world are taken away from us too soon 😢
I'm so glad Brad is finding some things to like, and I'm right there with him on Dolores' beautiful voice. Not sure what he would think of Sarah McLachlan or Sinead O'Connor.
And the band themselves are outstanding. Imagine meeting a woman with that voice, who wants to be the singer in your band, and you have to find the way to support and frame her, and never be in her way but always be propelling the music forward... They do an amazing job.
The sound is known as keening. It’s, oddly enough, an Irish tradition that was done at funerals in times past. Professional mourners would be hired and they would weep, wail and keen for the deceased. While this practice has now gone out of style in Ireland, the great thing is that Dolores O’Riordan (the woman singing this song and the lead singer for The Cranberries) took something originally based on loss and sadness and make it an expression of joy and happiness.
Well if we’re going with their most popular songs we should probably continue with their singles between 1992 & 1997, since that when these songs dominated mainstream radio air play: “Sunday,” “Ode To My Family,” “Ridiculous Thoughts,” “Salvation,” “when You’re Gone,” & “Free To Decide.” If you turned on VH1 in the mid ‘90s, you were going to see one of their videos at some point over the next hour or so.
It was one of my favorite bands when I was a teen in the 90s. I was blown away when while taking a walk listening to the news on headphones I unexpectedly learned of her tragic death.
She seems to sing as effortlessly soft as she does beautiful! We already do Zombie and are more of a rock / metal band, but have been thinking about this one for awhile! Love your channel guys! R.I.P. Dolores!
I always loved this song but Dolores passing has made tear up at every listen. That’s what I love about music, they live on forever through their music❤
This song has always been one of my favorites of theirs. It's just so beautiful. The outro especially, when the full band comes in with that melodic guitar and those huge foot-stomping drums, there's just something uplifting about it. Music can make you feel all kinds of things, and the outro to this song just makes me feel pure joy. Like the perfect happiness of a beautiful dream.
Such a BEAUTIFUL,peaceful song!!! R.I.P. Ms. O'Riordan!!! This world lost a lovely treasure in you with your passing!!!!The very good seem to die far to soon!!! You will be missed and mourned greatly because you were stolen from us far,far to young!!!!
The sound on the end of the notes Dolores sings is keening, a traditioning Irish wailing sound used to grieve. Such a beautiful voice we are all keening her loss.
Swedish kulning is very similar. ruclips.net/video/KvtT3UyhibQ/видео.html
@@atuuschaaw Agreed, love that video very aesthetically and sonically pleasing. PS The end lol
Have you guys reacted to Would? - Alice in chains -
Ode to my Family is my favourite Cranberries song
@@atuuschaaw love that kulning sound , but it needs more cowbell lol
I like how Brad smiled as soon as she started singing. I feel you man, her voice is incredible
I was gonna say the same thing. I have the same smile every time I hear Dolores sing
He seems to like female singers.
He would have been front row at the Lilith Fair.
@@johnstjohn6658 lmaoooo
Brad is a fan. I agree that she had the voice of an angel, but now even more so, that she's singing with the actual angels.
Man, you keep this woman, keep her so hard. "I wish I could sing for you like that" WOW!
Right? Lucky guy
Exactly what sahinberg said
She’s a special girl.. Intelligent and attractive in every way. Your a lucky man Brad!
And Brad seems like a pretty cool, intelligent guy, himself.. I loved his reaction, here..
there is something ethereal about an Irish woman's voice that can sing.
Yeah, I think that they should certainly try listening to Sinead O'Connor also. Mandinka or The Emperor's New Clothes would be a good start because they're rockers.

@@douglasfrantzen3011 Loreena McKennitt; Ashley MacIssac - you just outed yourself as Canadian - lol! (Great choices, BTW)
@@keithosmond5730 Not even, born and raised in San Diego. However, I wouldn't have considered myself unlucky to have grown up in British Columbia or the Canadian Rockies, very beautiful places.
Very true also Enya and Sinead o connor , they bring out the ancient haunting melody of Ireland thats spiritual and ethereal indeed .
very ethereal
Brad usually looks so intense. I'm glad to see Dolores' voice can make him smile like that.
Her abs were just about as amazing!! Definitely a teenage crush!!
Yip the moment she started his smile just grew a mile love from New Zealand stay safe and well whanau
This is an adorable reaction from both of you. Brad's icy heart has melted, and Lex's tinge of jealousy was funny to see.
This. The tinge of jealousy is so cute
Agreed! Lex also knows why Brad likes it...but isnt a dick with her jealousy. Great relationship guys. Im jealous.
Yes, I was thinking the same...
@@InTheOuter lex is totally jealous! Fucking so funny to me! Typical woman!
A tinge perhaps. Lex is quite something herself and im sure Brad knows how lucky he is! :)

He might have to. Lex gave him the stink eye a few times lol.
I listen to rock/metal/alt/gangsta rap and love her voice.
She wrote and sang this song when she was 18 years old. I love her harmonizing with herself.
see her do ave maria with Pavarotti. She aced it. love
" Fade Into You" is from Mazzy Star. Hope Sandoval is a quiet, shy and gorgeous Mexican- American angel.
Great sultry jam.
the live verision at the shoreline Amphitheater is a great version
@@CynicalGear It's perfect. What I don't like are the idiots not paying attention to Hope. She's an angel.
@@NeonNights80 The live version from The Shoreline Amphitheatre is the definition of sensuality.
Absolutely. "Halah" is fantastic, too.
Dolores has such a beautiful voice and May she Rest In Peace.
Lex being jealous of Dolores is one of the more fun parts of these videos.
0:53 🙂
Brad is in love! It's nice to see him smiling to be honest.
Lex’s laugh is more contagious than the Rona.
Lmao 😂💀
No vaccine either 😜😉
I agree,her laugh is almost as contagious as Delores voice!
What a sweet and accurate thing to say!
Dolores was such an amazing talent and beautiful Irish voice. Her Keening was so very beautiful. We will miss you angel!
When this came out people loved it. No need to hide liking the band. They were played all day on alternative rock stations.
Not only alt channels, in Australia they were super mainstream
Totally metalhead and I loved and still love The Cranberries music.
Truth. I was and still am a big AC/DC-hard rock and grunge kind of guy, but the Cranberries never ceased to bring a wave of joy through me.
There were everywhere
"...never quoit as it seems..."
I love that Dolores sang with her own accent.
PS It's called "keening". It's an Irish thing: traditionally a whail of grief for a loved one, often at funerals.
"I wish I could sing for you like that..." -- we ALL do! There will never be another Dolores O' Riordan. 💜
“Ode To My Family” is a perfect song for you guys from The Craberries.. I know you’d both love it.
My favorite Cranberries song, one of my all- time favorites ever..RIP Dolores, we all love you and miss so much! So much music unmade...
Someone get this man a Cranberries greatest hits album right now. I appreciate you brother. I used to go to sleep to her voice when I was a teenager. You got to try Promises. Great review guys 👍
I still do that lmao
What a voice & one that can sing you to sleep. Dolores was so unique & will be forever missed
This makes me so nostalgic for the 90s. I was obsessed with this song and this album. Such good times. Life was much nicer then.
The voice of an angel. Taken far, far too soon. RIP Delores. 💙
Can't help but love the love for the Irish 🇮🇪☘️
Shout out Ireland!!
And we'll always love the love forever....😊
@@BradAndLex Shout out across the water back at you!
@@BradAndLex ERIN GO BRA
Soo cute to see lex slightly jealous and Brad physically melting at the voice of Dolorous
Lex looked like she was a little jealous of Dolores. She gave Brad the stink eye a couple of times. 😂
The most beautiful voice I've ever heard, such sadness she left us to soon RIP Dolores,the big man upstairs has his lead vocalist back that's for sure.
Her voice is dubbed over on itself, so she sings harmony with herself. Awesome effect, especially for her voice.
The Irish are lovely and they birthed one of the earth's most beautiful angels. May she rest forever in peace.
I love how your face lights up when you hear her voice just as much as I love how giddy Lex gets when an amazing guitar solo kicks in.
I absolutely love watching Brad listen to Dolores! His smile says it all. And to see Lex look at him and smile is so sweet. We love you guys! Thank you guys for everything.
Irish female singers are some of my favourites. They have so much depth to them. Two Irish sisters are some of the best I've ever heard.

Love this. This is a total 90’s song. Immediate bliss
Ode to my family is a brilliant Cranberries song, my favourite.
This is get-alone, lie-on-the-bed, with-your-eyes-closed, and headphones-on, and become-immersed-in-the-music music.
I was lucky enough to see her sing this with the crowd at Woodstock '94. 👍🏽
It's really nice to get to see Brad really enjoy a song. I feel like a lot of times he's just along for the ride, and he isn't really enjoying the music that much.
Ahhh. The Irish Goddess...Her voice is like no other...The most beautiful voice in the world!
Lex has the type of smile that makes you believe "everything might just be ok"
You're a lucky man, Brad. Thanks for the video y'all ✌️
Such a voice and so sad she's not here anymore. I think Brad melts everytime he hears her sing.
I want that t shirt Brad. Where u get it?
Thank you 🙏🏽 Its on our RUclips store and at couchgang.com!!

she has a voice that I instantly loved the second I heard linger on the radio
I love the jealousy in Lex voice over Brads reaction.. so cute
Dolores brought so much beauty into this world and her beautiful work continues through her music. She is changing and transforming lives of people she will never meet or know.
The Irish accent has got to be one of the most beautiful and sexiest accent in the world
I love to watch Brads reaction to her voice!

I’d be curious to see you guys explore Björk. Like Dolores, her voice is one of a kind.
The Sugarcubes - "Birthday" would be a good start.
Bjerknes is great
If you want an amazing voice, it has to be Kate Bush…..
I'm so glad Brad is finding some things to like, and I'm right there with him on Dolores' beautiful voice. Not sure what he would think of Sarah McLachlan or Sinead O'Connor.
I'm watching all your Cranberries reactions and now I'm starting to tear up.R.I.P. Delores, your so missed and Why sweetheart 💞
Same here

I always loved this song but Dolores passing has made tear up at every listen. That’s what I love about music, they live on forever through their music❤
Man I got to laugh at Lex's face, she a bit peeved cause Brad likes Delores voice so much lol :)
Ode to my Family is my fav. Really emotional.
That smile when Brad heard her voice!! Freddie Mercury and Eddie Vedder are my voices, Dolores is his!
Janis Joplin, Eddie Vedder, Freddie Mercury, Axl Rose, Hope Sandoval( " Fade Into You"), Kurt Cobain, Marie Frederickson ( Roxette)....
I love Freddie Vedder
@@bid84 LOL I see how that could be read now, too funny.
I have just discovered you guys and yous are so likeable and sweet. Love from Scotland. Oh and Dolores’ voice is so smooth and relaxing.
Brad's enthusiasm for Delores (and Lex, of course) is contagious! Look at that smile on his face... :-)
Never seen Brad smile so much at a song, Lex, I think your man has a crush😉
Love your reactions🥰❤️
The drums in this song just blow me away.
This song has always been one of my favorites of theirs. It's just so beautiful. The outro especially, when the full band comes in with that melodic guitar and those huge foot-stomping drums, there's just something uplifting about it. Music can make you feel all kinds of things, and the outro to this song just makes me feel pure joy. Like the perfect happiness of a beautiful dream.
Hey Brad , no shame in my game, I'm with you love her voice and this band
this song is magical! Just like a dream ♥
Her voice is amazing.
Her singing style is called keening
I too smile when I hear her voice
I love watching the smiles on you guys, her voice is simply stunning
Lex getting a little jelly Brad is falling for that angelic singing voice.
Live in France was a great concert. Dolores dances like a nerd, and had every mans heart in her hand that night.
Such a BEAUTIFUL,peaceful song!!! R.I.P. Ms. O'Riordan!!! This world lost a lovely treasure in you with your passing!!!!The very good seem to die far to soon!!! You will be missed and mourned greatly because you were stolen from us far,far to young!!!!
Yes, I’d recommend “Ode to my family” for sure. The Cranberries are amazing. Great reaction guys 🙋🏻♀️👏🏼👍🏼🙌🏼💜🇨🇦
More than Millions loved this girl / last of the love & peacemaker artists / She was something else
You two are a joy to watch. Great to see your connection here.
I like the way that Brad always says that he doesn't get it; and yet, with Dolores, he entirely gets it.
My fav song of the 90’s it’s absolutely beautiful ❤ Brings back soo many memories ❤
It's called keening... traditional Irish wailing performed at Irish wakes..
