I’ll say it again. You two have the most genuine and real reaction channel I’ve seen. You’re not pandering and fake like so many others. Your openness and appreciation has grown your palate.
I love the Cranberries - I worked in Dublin in the late 80s - I recall a story from an Irish mate that her school principal used to get the whole school to stop and listen to her sing in morning assemblies and I can easily believe that - her singing is just so hauntingly beautiful, so pure and unique - and such pitch perfect delivery. No one comes close - so sad she left us too early...
Part of how she got that beautiful voice she had was when she was young growing up in Ireland her father taught her how to yodel. I don't know why she let herself go into an alcohol coma in a bathtub where she drowned because she had 3 kids too. In any event she went way too soon.
This is one of those songs where the vocal melody moves me to tears. You can literally feel her heart breaking. Absolutely beautiful. And I’ll say it again. You guys are why rock will never die. Much love 💕
People can complain that you like every song but keep in mind that these are the same people who are requesting that you listen to the ALL TIME CLASSICS. The songs that have stood the test of time.
Rip this girl had one of the most amazing voices ever i mean its just genuine n there songs r genuine dreams zombie they r good together she had a tough life but she overcame it to make her one of the best band of the 90 s
Brings tears to my eyes. I am wrapped around her finger to this day. She was very vulnerable and needed someone to love and protect her from the cruelty of this world.
This Song is SO Stunningly GORGEOUS - I still remember Exactly where I was when the first time I heard it back in the 90's when I naively believed music could only EVOLVE to be better from that point on. Man was I Wrong.
As a music teacher, watching you two listen to the guitar solo side by side is my very favorite part of this video. The way you’re physicalizing the different elements of the music is fantastic; one of you bopping to the beat (as you then reveal is your background with rap/hip-hop) while the other sways smooth to the spacey guitar/synth solo. Your appreciation for the structure of the track… honestly made me tear up. When I dream of the kinds of music consumers my students will be when they grow up, I pray they end up like this. Forever seeking to expand their horizons, find meaning in music they didn’t previously understand, and most of all, APPRECIATING DOLORES’S CASUAL OPERATIC BADASSERY IN ALL ITS GLORY 😂😂😂 earnestly, NEVER stop doing this!
Since you like Dolores O'Riordan's voice so much, I'd recommend checking out The Sundays. An English group with a female vocalist (Harriet Wheeler). She has a similar ethereal singing voice that is unforgettable. Their best known song is Here's Where the Story Ends, but I'd also recommend Summertime. It actually sounds like summer should sound IMO!
"what goes into it" - - in this case, she also orchestrated this song at a time she was very young. LOVED HER VOICE. Massive loss to music. RIP Dear Delores.
I was able to turn my mom into a Cranberries fan as I took her to their concert in the Finger Lakes area of New York back in the late 90s. She fell in love with their beautiful sound. It made me so happy to share my love of The Cranberries with her.
You guys could check out another Irish band, The Corrs, three sisters and a brother, with their song ‘Only When I Sleep’, they included some Celtic sounds in their music.
This is my favorite of the Cranberries, but I want to reiterate: I love you guys because I get to rediscover why I fell in love with some of these old songs by watching your reactions and hearing why you feel they have value. Thanks for what you do.
I'm so glad you reacted to The Cranberries again. Dolores O'Riordan was one of a kind, and her voice was pure heaven. She did the song Ave Maria and you should definitely check it out. Her voice will give you chills .
Linger was The Cranberries second single, and first huge hit. Dreams was the first single, and it was rereleased as a single after the success of Dreams. I was starting out in college at the time, and I remember Linger being everywhere at the time. The music video is great as well, with a film noir aesthetic. The guitar style is heavily inspired by the first album's producer, Stephen Street, who produced a lot of work for The Smiths.
First time I heard this song was as I was driving to Atlanta for a TV audition (did that a lot). There was a great radio station that I always tuned into because they introduced me to bands like The Cranberries and Weezer. Love this song.
It always gets me how good the chorus is. The way she uses her voice to accentuate the word she's saying. Like the part where she says "wrapped around your finger" her voice literally goes up and down to sort of sound like it's going in a circle (wrapping around something). This song has been stuck in my head for weeks.
I feel in love with her voice when I first heard Zombie, and I had no idea just how beautiful her voice truly was! I miss all the music that she could have blessed us with! So sad! ♥️The old white woman
Freaking loved The Cranberries in the 90s! And my friends and I definitely had this song on repeat. I figured you’ve reacted to “Zombie,” which I love but another one of my favorites that I feel really highlights Dolores’ voice is “Ode To My Family.”
She used to get the school bus with us every morning. Always had her guitar with her. Listened to Cranberries initially because I knew her, but quickly realised she was a huge talent. Drummer was brilliant too. Very emotional for any Limerick person to hear her voice and see nice posts such as yours
The most amazing voice, still gives me shivers. So sad she's gone 😢 Love your channel, first time I've really noticed the background vocals, absolutely stunning.
And, this was written by her when she was a teenager! Nuts, how some people are just gifted. She came up with all the lyrics and vocal melodies herself. In a couple of days of first meeting the rest of the band. First song her and Noel wrote together.
It was cool to see you both vibing in two different ways. Jay bobbing along to the drum beat and Amber swaying to the haunting vocals and strings. Just goes to show that music is both a shared and individual experience simultaneously. Everyone can get something different from it.
I've said it before, I'm so happy you both have stepped out of your comfort zones and opened your musical hearts and minds to a world of unbelievable music from so many talented and beautiful artists from every corner of the earth!! The journey is just beginning...
Theres so many things that you can appreciate how this song was put together, not only Dolores' singing but also also how the band contributed to this song
Both of the 1st 2 Cranberries albums; "Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?" and "No Need To Argue" are both top to bottom masterful albums. Dolores had one of the most enduring singing styles and some of the most soulful lyrics out there. Discovering this music in my youth was such a major gift that keeps on giving.
had the opportunity to experience them here in germany in the ´90s....every Live Concert could immediately be pressed on CD...awesome.THIS united people at concerts....seriously
I really appreciate your reactions. Not only have you grown through this, you have made us appreciate all the artistry in music. You are lovely people.
She is great and her voice is so unique. I seen the Cranberries live in a small venue and her voice is crystal clear and the entire show was just awesome. Your right on when you open your self up to different types of music you can understand and really appreciate the art of the songs. I love black sabbath and grunge yet I love the Cranberries just as much I have their first 3 discs which were my favorites. She holds her own with in a different style and a different way. Love the reaction.
Never fall for the criticism of actually enjoying every song. One, you both are smart and able to discern the nuts and bolts of great songs and the talent that made them stand out. Two, the songs being suggested ARE the best of the best! Love the channel and your beauty and passion.
Another "Siren" voice is Florence Welch from Florence + The machine... had the pleasure of seeing her live and about melted in my seat... she blew me away! Check out Shake it out or Heavy in your arms for a start!
My absolute favorite Cranberries song!!! Your Anniversary has to be before March 31st. I became a member when you had 13000 members...on March 26. Maybe your anniversary is the 21st? Whatever it is, I have watched every video yall have put out and watch you every day, 3 times a day! 😆
Dolores O' Riordan sang from her raw, beautiful soul & could convey more emotion in one note than most singers can in an entire song. I love all her songs, but "God Be With You Ireland" is probably my favorite. It tears at my Irish soul. RIP Dolores.
Another group you should listen to is The Sundays. I think you will love the female singer’s voice in that group as well. Two songs I recommend are “Here’s Where the Story Ends” and “Wild Horses.”
Always loved this song but seeing the way you both reacted made me happy ...I see alot of these songs you play I've never cared for but seeing how you see these songs makes me appreciate them ..thank you you are truly a breath of fresh air in a sometimes stale world ...
This song is haunting, but deep, sad and beautiful all at the same time. I'm still intrigued by this song.
Love your comment
Well said.
I just think of Delores and get sad
Abe, your comment was as beautiful as the song ❤️
Haunting is exactly what it is.
RIP Dolores, gone much too soon. You are loved and sadly missed.
Yes,sure😢❤❤
😢
Very much missed
Yes, I was bummed when I heard that.
I’ll say it again. You two have the most genuine and real reaction channel I’ve seen. You’re not pandering and fake like so many others. Your openness and appreciation has grown your palate.
What he said
Agreed 💯
Yeah
Absolutely!!
Completely
Her voice just captures you. It is so sad that she was taken from us at such a young age.
im doing my best to be good enough to see her in concert :)
@@stormy7722good luck with that.
Her voice is used like an instrument. I literally cried when I found out she passed away.
Im a 56 year old man.....me too ❤

This was the song that made me a Cranberries fan
Then again this is the song that made the cranberries "The Cranberries"
such a sad song sung so beautifully. It chokes me up everytime
This is one of those songs where the vocal melody moves me to tears. You can literally feel her heart breaking. Absolutely beautiful. And I’ll say it again. You guys are why rock will never die. Much love 💕
it's stunning..I am a guy you'd see and say...nah he isn't that type of guy....this song gets me every time
Linger is the song that got me hooked
Seeing Amber's reaction to this song perfectly shows the emotional impact of this song.
The way she closes her eyes and just feels the music and let’s it flow through her just shows you how to listen to this song
Dude, the way you just closed your eyes and just... Felt the music.
I never thought about the vulnerability aspect of her voice, at least in this song. You're absolutely correct. Love it.
This song always makes me cry.
Tears. Goosebumps. All of it.
People can complain that you like every song but keep in mind that these are the same people who are requesting that you listen to the ALL TIME CLASSICS. The songs that have stood the test of time.
The essence of melancholy, in the most precious sense of the word. Will always be very touching. One of my two favorite Cranberries songs.
Rip this girl had one of the most amazing voices ever i mean its just genuine n there songs r genuine dreams zombie they r good together she had a tough life but she overcame it to make her one of the best band of the 90 s
Her voice in this song makes me tear up.
A very haunting sound. I love the cranberries always
Rip never again have a voice like her so angelic heaven sure does sound beautiful now
Brings tears to my eyes. I am wrapped around her finger to this day. She was very vulnerable and needed someone to love and protect her from the cruelty of this world.
Its refreshing to see you reactions! I'm 64, these are the Songs of my Life. Thank you!!
This Song is SO Stunningly GORGEOUS - I still remember Exactly where I was when the first time I heard it back in the 90's when I naively believed music could only EVOLVE to be better from that point on. Man was I Wrong.
I hear theses female singers from the 90s and all I can think is were is Jewel!!! She amazing!!! Waiting impatiently !!!!
My son and I were in Ireland and visited her grave. We were listening to Linger as we approached the small cemetery, a time we won't forget....

different singers and different musicans are unique in their own style and "Linger" to me is really special...
This song really connects with me on a spiritual level. What an amazing singer!
RIP Dolores.
I just love watching people exposing and enjoying themselves to new music. There’s something so innocent to it.
Since you like Dolores O'Riordan's voice so much, I'd recommend checking out The Sundays. An English group with a female vocalist (Harriet Wheeler). She has a similar ethereal singing voice that is unforgettable. Their best known song is Here's Where the Story Ends, but I'd also recommend Summertime. It actually sounds like summer should sound IMO!
R.I.P. Dolores! Harriet Wheeler is an absolute dream!
Both great suggestions!
Didn’t Dolores pass away about a year ago?
The Sundays’ cover of Wild Horses is also amazing
I adore The Sundays and Cocteau Twins
"what goes into it" - - in this case, she also orchestrated this song at a time she was very young. LOVED HER VOICE. Massive loss to music. RIP Dear Delores.
I was able to turn my mom into a Cranberries fan as I took her to their concert in the Finger Lakes area of New York back in the late 90s. She fell in love with their beautiful sound. It made me so happy to share my love of The Cranberries with her.
I cry every time I hear this song...it is soo deep and heartfelt. She was a true treasure.
Beautiful voice beautiful person, her passing was, is such a loss.
I can't imagine this lovely song would sound anywhere so good without her.
The intro to this song w the guitar and ethereal vocal is timeless.
This song is underrated.
Fo SHO!!!
From some of the darkest message songs to the most ethereal love songs the Cranberries could do it all. Thank you for sharing this.
You guys could check out another Irish band, The Corrs, three sisters and a brother, with their song ‘Only When I Sleep’, they included some Celtic sounds in their music.
My second favourite band during the 90s ❤
First?
Stunningly beautiful song, from the orchestral entry to the haunting vocals and this ultra smooth feel that the song has from end-to end, outstanding!
This is my favorite of the Cranberries, but I want to reiterate: I love you guys because I get to rediscover why I fell in love with some of these old songs by watching your reactions and hearing why you feel they have value. Thanks for what you do.
Linger my favorite Cranberries song 🎶 I played an instrumental Cranberries song as I walked down the isle at my wedding 20 years ago….
I'm so glad you reacted to The Cranberries again. Dolores O'Riordan was one of a kind, and her voice was pure heaven. She did the song Ave Maria and you should definitely check it out. Her voice will give you chills .
"her voice was pure heaven"..... Still is, and always will be, as long as we can hear it....
It’s the way she says “ fool for you” very strong accent that makes it seem very sweet.
Linger was The Cranberries second single, and first huge hit. Dreams was the first single, and it was rereleased as a single after the success of Dreams. I was starting out in college at the time, and I remember Linger being everywhere at the time. The music video is great as well, with a film noir aesthetic. The guitar style is heavily inspired by the first album's producer, Stephen Street, who produced a lot of work for The Smiths.
Oh wow, I am hearing The Smiths vibe channeling in the instrumentals.
Her voice has an ethereal, dreamlike quality, but she could also wail like an Irish banshee when she wanted to!
This is one of those songs that hits me in the heart & gives me goose bumps as it washes over me. I can listen to it over & over ❤
This song has a special vibe to it, def those Irish roots
Such a hauntingly beautiful song...my favorite of hers. RIP...💜💜💜
I was hooked the first time I heard the ethereal voice that was Delores RIP
Another classic from the 90s! The Cranberries were phenomenal in the 90s! Great band!
RIP Delores! The world needs your voice now more than ever!
First time I heard this song was as I was driving to Atlanta for a TV audition (did that a lot). There was a great radio station that I always tuned into because they introduced me to bands like The Cranberries and Weezer. Love this song.

I feel in love with her voice when I first heard Zombie, and I had no idea just how beautiful her voice truly was! I miss all the music that she could have blessed us with! So sad!
♥️The old white woman
I love your sway to this... how could you not? My favorite Cranberries tune
Freaking loved The Cranberries in the 90s! And my friends and I definitely had this song on repeat. I figured you’ve reacted to “Zombie,” which I love but another one of my favorites that I feel really highlights Dolores’ voice is “Ode To My Family.”
She used to get the school bus with us every morning. Always had her guitar with her. Listened to Cranberries initially because I knew her, but quickly realised she was a huge talent. Drummer was brilliant too. Very emotional for any Limerick person to hear her voice and see nice posts such as yours
“Ode to My Family” is awesome! My personal fave might be “I Can’t Be With You”
Same here!
When that violin comes in ❤
The most amazing voice, still gives me shivers. So sad she's gone 😢 Love your channel, first time I've really noticed the background vocals, absolutely stunning.
This song came out during Senior Year of HS. (1993) It was my favorite song. Still LOVE it... Still makes me cry.
Glad you stood up to the critics. RIP Dolores, exactly what I needed to hear on St. Patrick's day. Ode to my family and Zombie deserve a listen.
I put this and Dreams on the 10 hour loops and have them in the background all day. Never gets boring.
RIP Dolores. We're still listening. Other great cranberries suggestions: Ode to my family, When you're Gone, Promises, Salvation, Star.
I Just Shot John Lennon, that one might hit them hard too.
And, this was written by her when she was a teenager! Nuts, how some people are just gifted. She came up with all the lyrics and vocal melodies herself. In a couple of days of first meeting the rest of the band. First song her and Noel wrote together.
Listen to all that Irish vocal badassery. Her talent was awesome! This was one of my favorite songs back in the day.😊
Nowadays, when hearing this song, once the melancholic violins start, it can bring a tear to my eyes...
Today is my wife's Birthday
She passed away in 2018 but still
still wanted to say Happy Birthday
My Friend my Lover my Wife
Cindy.. 🤓
That's hard. Sorry.
Our bodies die, but love is eternal.
I really appreciate you two being open minded. Respect.
It was cool to see you both vibing in two different ways. Jay bobbing along to the drum beat and Amber swaying to the haunting vocals and strings. Just goes to show that music is both a shared and individual experience simultaneously. Everyone can get something different from it.
Jay's appreciation is growing... and it's showing!
In a word: ethereal. Such a beautifully sung and realized song - Dolores is in a league all by herself; poignant. Miss her. Nice job/choice guys.
One of the 10 prettiest rock songs ever recorded. We miss you, Dolores.
I've said it before, I'm so happy you both have stepped out of your comfort zones and opened your musical hearts and minds to a world of unbelievable music from so many talented and beautiful artists from every corner of the earth!! The journey is just beginning...

You are lovely people.
There are angels in heaven right now probably jealous of her voice! ☘
Beautifully said ❤☘️
I love how you both speak on each and every layer of a song. Realistic reactions, unlike some other channels I've seen. Thanks.
Totally agree your tastes have become much more eclectic
This is the centerpiece of their brilliant first album. My favorite of theirs is this album's closing song, "Put Me Down."
I love how he grooves to the beat and drum line and she feels the background groove vocal. Perfect unixon.
Dolores' voice is the only one thar can give me goosebumps all the way to my cheeks. Amazing. She is definitely missed ❤😢
I love listening to the cranberries they came out when I was in high-school and they still do it for me
Such a great song from one of Ireland's finest! I'm so glad both of you love The Cranberries!
my sentiments exactly!
He pays attention to the beat based on how he moves his head and she’s feeling the melody.
She is great and her voice is so unique. I seen the Cranberries live in a small venue and her voice is crystal clear and the entire show was just awesome. Your right on when you open your self up to different types of music you can understand and really appreciate the art of the songs. I love black sabbath and grunge yet I love the Cranberries just as much I have their first 3 discs which were my favorites. She holds her own with in a different style and a different way.

Omg....I once was obsessed with this song when it came over the radio...
Another "Siren" voice is Florence Welch from Florence + The machine... had the pleasure of seeing her live and about melted in my seat... she blew me away! Check out Shake it out or Heavy in your arms for a start!
was going to suggest the same, Florence and the Machine 'wish that you were here' has a similar ethereal feel to this song and a deep lyrical meaning.
Florence is so good. Dark Days Are Over would be a good one.
@@lkajiess It's "Dog days are over", but yes :)
@@ClickToPreview Haha, correct. I even knew that. Brain fart.
"Siren" is not the word. "Soulful" could be.
This song SO takes me back...
My absolute favorite Cranberries song!!! Your Anniversary has to be before March 31st. I became a member when you had 13000 members...on March 26. Maybe your anniversary is the 21st? Whatever it is, I have watched every video yall have put out and watch you every day, 3 times a day! 😆

One of my all time favorite songs. I used to have this tape in my car. 😅 That's how old I am.
Another group you should listen to is The Sundays. I think you will love the female singer’s voice in that group as well. Two songs I recommend are “Here’s Where the Story Ends” and “Wild Horses.”
I adore The Sundays!!!
Yes! Brilliant!
"Summertime" was my introduction to them.
Another Flavour!
Yeeeessssss! SUCH an underrated band! Harriet Wheeler is a gem.
The first time I heard this song, I sank down into my sofa and just let it wash over me like a wave of haunting bliss. Dolores' voice is amazing.
Always loved this song but seeing the way you both reacted made me happy ...I see alot of these songs you play I've never cared for but seeing how you see these songs makes me appreciate them ..thank you you are truly a breath of fresh air in a sometimes stale world ...
Sang in her true musical Limerick accent, beautiful.
