  • The Cranberries - Zombie has been requested on Patreon quite a few times now. I always thought that it was a different song so I decided not to react to it. That was until I was corrected by one of you on here. Now I realise I know nothing about The Cranberries or their music. The message in Zombie blew me away and I just had to listen twice. If you guys have any info you want to share with me about The Cranberries then please do. I love reading all the comments and I promise to respond to as many as I can.
    Here is my reaction to hearing The Cranberries - Zombie for the first time. I hope you enjoy it!

    I just want to clarify that although I didn’t realise what the song was about at first, I am well aware of the history of the IRA and how it affected peoples lives. Half of my family bloodline goes back to Ireland and members of my family were living in Ireland during these times. There were also 2 attacks in my home city which took the lives of 21 people. The IRA claimed the lives of innocent people and those people shall never be forgotten. I am not just a “millennial that knows nothing”, I was just being slow whilst listening to an astounding piece of music.

      Not just the IRA. The UDA, UFF, and the British Paras, too (all of which appear in the video). They're calling out the whole damn mess of The Troubles [and longer--the 1916 reference is to the Easter Rebellion in Dublin that led (eventually) to independence for the Irish Republic].

      No, the line "It's not me, it's not my family" isn't her family- she is saying that people justify tolerating The Troubles by thinking it isn't really their problem.

    R.I.P. DOLORES. This song always gets me. She reaches into her heritage here utilizing Irish funerary ritual Known as Keening or caoineadh in Irish, keening involved vocal lamentation for the dead and was traditionally performed by women, often referred to as bean chaointe. This practice was an integral part of Irish funerals, where mourners would express their grief through wailing, crying, and singing over the deceased. A brilliant choice and one I respected.

Feeling that hatred and animosity to a “group” of an entire swath of people who literally had NOTHING TO DO with the horror that happened to your loved one..and have no more control over what bad people/misguided government does. But you hate them because they “look” like the people that took the person you loved from you. That has always been the message of this song to me.

    "But you see, it's not me, it's not my family" is key to one of the messages that Dolores tried to get across with this song. The point being the conflict in Ireland is terrible and costs lives but goes on for decades and people around the world can just ignore it and get on with their lives because it doesn't affect them -- "it's not me, it's not my family". "In your head" you imagine the people there fighting, dying, crying, but what do you do about it? Nothing. Like a zombie. It's a very poignant and powerful message.
    Phil Collins' song "Another Day in Paradise" (though not about Ireland) also touches on that idea that we live out our lives ignoring the suffering of others.
    Sadly Dolores died in 2018 at the far too young age of 46. She was mourned across Ireland for three days. Thousands of people made the journey to visit her open coffin ceremony. She was a beautiful singer and a beautiful person. She will be sorely missed.

      I always had a different interpretation of that lyric. I saw it as challenging the preconceived ideas someone gets in their head about their supposed enemy. Saying to the people fighting against you " that image you have of me in your head, it's not me, it's not my family." And the people participating in the violence are zombies because they are just mindlessly buying into the rhetoric and generalizations about their supposed enemy.

    You got it, it's about the devastation of "The Troubles" between Ireland and Brittan. It is said that this was a catalyst to the talks of peace treaty signed in early 1998. Don't know how true that is but I don't doubt the possibility. This song is so powerful, divinely human yet... heavenly. Rest in sweet heavenly peace Delores, young Jonathan Ball and Timothy Parry. Beautiful reaction. This is the reason Dolores wrote this song, to raise awareness of the horrors of war. 30yrs later... her message is still relevant and important as ever. Beautiful reaction.😊❤❤❤

      The conflict in NI (1966-1994 and still unresolved) was never about religious freedom, Catholics have been free to practise their religion openly in Ireland since the Act of Emancipation 1829. It was about equal opportunities, inspired by the American Civil Rights Movement. Catholics were asking for fair access to social housing and an end to the practice of personal references when applying for civil service as those kept almost all jobs to Protestant ctizens of the province. It then turned into a wider conflict about the political identity of NI.
