Hello everyone! So saddened by the news of the passing of Dolores O'Riordan, the lead singer of The Cranberries. "Linger" was a part of the soundtrack of my childhood and it eventually became, (and still remains to be), one of my favorite songs of all time. To me, it's timeless. I really hope you enjoy my interpretation! Love, MJ
Oh my dear Mackenzie, I think you did a great honor to Dolores. She was one I listened to a lot when that CD was released. I loved almost every song. You did a great job too. I'll miss her, but with people like you she'll never die. Thank you so much.
Dolores was an inspiration to many around the world! I myself am from the same town Ballybricken in limerick in which Dolores was born and raised! The news has broken the town but Dolores will forever live through the amazing music she produced both alone and through the work with her band the cranberries. As a small musician in limerick Dolores has only ever been an inspiration to me, R.I.P. Dolores O’Riordan. An amazing cover ❤️
Mackenzie!!!! My first instinct after I heard of her passing was to play this song. It was stuck in my head for a few days afterward. I thought about covering it, but dang, yours would be hard to top. This gave me actual chills!!!
This is just BEAUTIFUL. I would never ever condone a cover of Dolores, personal reasons but you are truly an exception. I'm sure she heard this and loved it, as did we. So much love to you and thank you.
These songs will always be timeless. I truly believe she was going thru her own heartbreak when Delores recorded the song. Great cover and tribute. Rip Delores
hey long-time subscriber here, today I was binge-rewatching some of your past videos, and I didn't know why but I missed this one when it came out, and I have to say that is hands down my favourite cover of your! your voice on it gave me chills, and the performance overall was so emotionally connected to the originals! thank you for your music, and I'm hoping to see you live one day or another!
Hi MJ, I listened to this cover several times now and every time I have goosebumps and tears, I think you touched my soul there. Thanks for being so amazing!
Lovely cover Mackenzie. ❤It's so nice to see that her music is carrying on even though she is no longer here to play it herself 😢 Love from Ireland 🇮🇪🌟She will be missed but never forgotten.
MacKenzie I am just after watching your clip and I can say that I am in tears here, such a perfect singing voice you have, Dolores would be so proud if she seeing this, and great Guitar playing, you play a different way but it totally works
If you If you could return Don't let it burn Don't let it fade I'm sure I'm not being rude But it's just your attitude It's tearing me apart It's ruining everything I swore I swore I would be true And honey, so did you So why were you holding her hand? Is that the way we stand? Were you lying all the time? Was it just a game to you? But I'm in so deep You know I'm such a fool for you You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ah ah Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger? Oh, I thought the world of you I thought nothing could go wrong But I was wrong I was wrong If you If you could get by trying not to lie Things wouldn't be so confused And I wouldn't feel so used But you always really knew I just wanna be with you And I'm in so deep You know I'm such a fool for you You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ah ah Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger? And I'm in so deep You know I'm such a fool for you You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ah ah Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger? You know I'm such a fool for you You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ah ah Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
I've watched a few of your videos, you have a great voice. The yodeling you were able to do in this song was very impressive. Coming from someone who has always enjoyed this song, bravo!
Thank god for this, lately been hearing people screaming instead of singing and banging their guitars, ive done it myself. You gve put me back on track for my music practical tomorrow!
Hello! My name is also Mackenzie Johnson and I came across your Channel looking for my own. This really touched my heart bc I a fan of this song and band. Rip 😞
Amazing! Mackenzie Johnson, You sing with your heart and you have incredible talent for music. Congratulations on the beautiful work and thank you for sharing your talent. Success always!
Just how "Linger" is part of your childhood soundtrack and now one of your all time favorite songs, that's exactly how I feel about "Dreams", although Linger is definitely my close second favorite
Es el primer cover que veo de esta canción, que le da en el clavo. Muy bien. Perfecto. Me gusta el tempo que te queda en la guitarra, y los acordes que usas me suenan muy bien conbinados. Saludos.
Gracias por tu interpretación de una de las mejores canciones de Dolores O'Riordan, es un bonito gesto en honor a ella. Gracias de todo corazón. Un saludo desde España 🇪🇸
This is so great. Beautiful job! I grew up on The Cranberries too and was actually inspired to do my first cover video of Linger in dedication of Dolores
Listening to your cover i was doing something else on the pc and i wasnt paying attention to the video and when you started singing I knew it was not Dolores voice but your voice is so similar and you really got the essence of her singing. My arm skin got like chicken's. I really really liked the cover. Well done.
What an awesome song I love the way you sing it and play the guitar we need young girls like you to continue beautiful songs that other people make hopefully one day you will make your own song and become famous and we always cheer for you your loyal fan Steve

David Cinardo please come and watch my channel and my cover song, i need your opinion so i could be more good singer! Thanks
Great tribute to Dolores, and a great cover of "Linger" release by the Cranberries in 1993, it takes me back....well done...!
Pretty Koa top on that guitfiddle.
It was a great time to be young late 80s early 90s

Gave me chills. Awesome cover of an awesome song that most people can unfortunately relate to.
Lovely cover Mackenzie. ❤It's so nice to see that her music is carrying on even though she is no longer here to play it herself 😢 Love from Ireland 🇮🇪🌟She will be missed but never forgotten.
Have been listening to this song non stop for a few months. Missing Deloris, rest in peace.
My 9 month daughter and I watch and play this together. Thank you :)

Loved it. Great tribute...those are some very cool window blinds too.
omg please add this stuff on spotify 💕
You did such a lovely job with this. I felt it. Thank you
If you
If you could return
Don't let it burn
Don't let it fade
I'm sure I'm not being rude
But it's just your attitude
It's tearing me apart
It's ruining everything
I swore
I swore I would be true
And honey, so did you
So why were you holding her hand?
Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time?
Was it just a game to you?
But I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ah ah
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
Oh, I thought the world of you
I thought nothing could go wrong
But I was wrong
I was wrong
If you
If you could get by trying not to lie
Things wouldn't be so confused
And I wouldn't feel so used
But you always really knew
I just wanna be with you
And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ah ah
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
And I'm in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ah ah
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ah ah
Do you have to let it linger?
Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
Beautifully performed. Great phrasing.
Love your voice. Stunning cover. Love this laidback style and how you play some parts softer, smaller.
Instant goosebumps, can't remember when I had that happen before.. Wow, incredible performance.
Me too. Weird
Best covers EVER of my favorite two songs. Thank you! I try to sing along, but I can't sing while crying. RIP Dolores, and my wife Marcia.
I hope ur doing fine
Hello i cover this song too! ruclips.net/video/07KRaVgvqXo/видео.html
Lovely tribute to Delores; this is one of my three favourite Cranberries songs; the others being Dreams & Zombie.
Twins

This is a great cover. Been obsessed with this song lately and listen to this just as much.
I've watched a few of your videos, you have a great voice. The yodeling you were able to do in this song was very impressive. Coming from someone who has always enjoyed this song, bravo!
When it comes to covers this channel is always a place to go for me. You're amazing Mackenzie and your voice is pure and sincere. ❤
Dolores O'Riordan is absolutely one of my favorite artists (may she RIP). Thank you for doing this song with class and heart. Pure Magic!

This gave me chills with the first few notes.

What about Ode to My Family???
Older guy here who checked out cranberries for first time after delores passing Loved this song and your version is fantastic!
absolutely beautiful rendition
Absolutely gorgeous version well done. My fav cover yet.
Beautiful! 😢 We miss you Dolores!
Love the way you put your stamp on this beautiful song.. Kudos!!
Really nice! Simply lovely. Thanks !
You've got more talent in your fingertip than I have in my whole body. Beautiful job. Hope you're still playing six years later!!
That is the voice that matches acoustic perfectly, anyone without a voice good enough can never manage a simple guitar or piano to sing along with.
Es el primer cover que veo de esta canción, que le da en el clavo. Muy bien. Perfecto. Me gusta el tempo que te queda en la guitarra, y los acordes que usas me suenan muy bien conbinados. Saludos.
