@@joshjohnson2600 Wild wild west bitch, you seem like white boy who only fights with guns, but cant' fight. Typical white boy. I make enough money boy, that they would, your white boy suck my cock!. Beauty of America, it is a business, you country fuck.
What she does with her voice is called "keening" - it's an Irish thing - especially during funerals. So powerful, Such a tragedy that Dolores is gone from us now. 🥲
Did this man's just say My bloody Valentine?! Awesome reference. I'm actually so surprised he doesn't know this song. This dominanted the late 90s radio.
The beauty of this song, I think anyway, is it's ability to sound hard and soft at the same time. Rhythmic drumming, Irish vocals, crashing guitar... it's just a real classic
I'm glad you knew the background of Zombie! So many reactions have someone asking people to explain in the comments what the song is about. It's so much better when the reactor has context of the song's meaning and why it was written. One thing I'd suggest is this is one of the relatively few songs where the music video adds so much that it's an accompanying work of art. I would've liked to see what you both think of the the video, too.
I grew up on the music of the 60’s, 70’s and early 80’s, lived overseas in a non -English speaking country for most of the 90’s and never paid much attention after that to new music. Thanks for checking out the channel!
The Cranberries are one of my favorite bands if not my favorite.... Dolores was a true talent. Please check out some of their other greats songs: 1. Linger 2. Dreams 3. Ode To My Family 4. When You're Gone 5. Animal Instinct
I love how your dad is always very attentive while you’re explaining background and stuff. He’s very open to discovering new music. Y’all are so cool! 🤩
I love how both father's and son's generation straddle all these 1990's era songs they review/react to. It's beautiful. The 90's were a special time for music
Am married to a Half Irish(on his moms side) wonderful man . He and his mom explained this particular song to me and its become one of my fav songs ever!❤️
Thank you for reviewing this song. As an Irishman, it made me proud. You did a great job of explaining the context behind the song. I absolutely love your channel- love your hip hop reviews too. Your Dad is a treasure. For the Cranberries' next song, please review 'Dreams' or 'Linger'.
Sound Garden, Nirvana, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Stone temple pilots, Pearl Jam, Foo fighters, Audioslave are some other great 90s bands that would make for great reactions
every colonial oppressed nation identifies with ireland in their pain and struggles especially against the british imperialism (before the murican neo imperialism now) and this song touched a chord in me and a lot of people at my place who werent native english speakers, unlike me, and yet they were so moved. it was a huge hit in many parts of asia during the 90s. her inflections in the song always move me to tears. RIP DOLORES O RIORDAN
The song is about the IRA killing children, not the British ""imperialism"" as you foolishly refer to it as. The Northern Irish continue, as they always have, to want to remain a part of the UK.
The Bad Wolves cover of this also has an incredible story and is an amazing performance. Dolores died the day she was set to so vocals for their version.
To really get the emotion of the song you should watch the video as well. When she arranged the song she instructed the drummer to bang away at the drums to get across her outrage, the emotion.. this song is a masterpiece...every word, every note...everything!
there is another Irish band Aslan they have a song called 'This is ' and a song called 'crazy world ' check them out there lead singer Christy is great
That you went back to research the song and presented the important context before playing the song for him speaks volumes to your integrity. I have been a Cranberries fan since the early 90s and think this is one of the most dynamic technical as well as emotional message songs from the group. I enjoyed you picking up and describing the intricacies of the intro. I haven't heard someone who had identified the significance and taken it apart before; bravo. The same method is used for each verse intro. It reminded me of something I learned years ago in classical music: The loudest note on a Beethoven score is a rest. We share that our musical tastes are all across the spectrum and in that line it's not often other venues reach across the wide divide to compliment, but this certainly happened with Delores O'Riordan. In the hit time of The Cranberries the other side of the music world, classical, reached across. Luciano Pavarotti, at the time the world's greatest classical tenor, invited The Cranberries to his show where they performed one of their songs. Then, Pavarotti and Delores sang Ave Maria, Pavarotti's signature piece together. I wish the technology of the time had better recorded the event as it was magnificent. And what an homage to the greatness he felt for Delores as an artist and to the messages she was conveying through her music. On a side note to that performance, Princess Diana was in the audience. I enjoy reaction videos. Particularly, I enjoy watching how a person is moved when hearing a new song or a new style of music. Keep spreading the wonderment of discovery.
I remember those concerts known as Pavarotti and Friends raising funds for the children of Bosnia, the reason Princess Diana was also there. Pavarotti did like 10 concerts over the same number of years I think? anyway, moot point. Delores was amazing!
If anyone hasn't seen it the Cranberries did a fantastic Tiny Desk Concert for NPR that's available on RUclips..... Rest In Peace Dolores you are missed
Zombie played in the O2 arena as Aisling Dalys walk out song with eight thousand people singing this song was epic. You may find snippets of this on RUclips
I don't understand how it is possible that he hasn't heard this one before. It has been the most played song on the radio for multiple different years.
The music video makes this song even more powerful...real powerful. Also the tribute by Bad Wolves is powerful. Dolores was supposed to record this song with Bad Wolves but just day before in London she sadly passed away and Bad Wolves released their own version as a tribute to her. Not one eye is dry seeing Bad Wolves version of Zombie...
One of the greatest bands and songs of my childhood! I still remember 1994. when this marvelous song has been released! It was amazing even at the first listening and these powerful lyrics came in time of bloody war in my country and region! Kind regards from Croatia, EU
Im not sure if you have delved into Pearl Jam with your father but they are the best grunge sound from the 90s scene. The strength of Eddie Vedder as a singer and performer is unmatched. A good start to see that is the MTV Unplugged version of BLACK. Hope you love them as much as I do. Blessings to you and your father and family. I love the love that is shown between you guys.
I think this song puts into perfect context what it was like growing up in the 70s, 80s, and 90s in the UK and Ireland. Obviously nowhere faced it as badly as Northern Ireland. But from my perspective in England, it was just an unspoken understanding that if you went into a city or town centre, you might not come home. The worst ones, (like Warrington, which was the catalyst for this song), were always the ones where children were hurt, but I remember particularly when the centre of Manchester was bombed. I was at an event, and we were counting off who was meant on their way from Manchester, who hadn't arrived yet, and trying to get hold of them to make sure they were ok. The 1916 reference is to the Easter Uprising, when the real fight for Irish Independence began. The fighting over Northern Ireland continued for more than 80 years. And now there's a whole generation of kids who never had to grow up with that knowledge that they could be blown up any day... Thank God and Mo Mowlam for the Good Friday Agreement.
This song - and the Cranberries themselves - were MASSIVE in the 90s. Their music is in a lot of tv series and film from that era. Rest In Paradise Queen Dolores 💚🙏 Always in Our Hearts. Blessings always to Ireland 💚
Dolores Keane is another great irish singer your father was on the ball as we say here in ireland, also props for explaining the song and the background you done a great job
With the Cranberries the iconic songs more typical of their sound were “Linger” or “Dreams”. Dreams was on the soundtrack for a Drew Barrymore movie “Never Been Kissed” which was an interpretation of Shakespeare’s “Taming of the Shrew”
I have to say how much I appreciate the passionate and knowledgeable way you give context to all the songs for your dad. The whole album is most certainly a must-listen... (and btw, it's pronounced "O-rearden")
I feel like the wall of sound noise represents the sounds of war, vrs her soft voice a mothers pain, those sounds is just so well constructed on so many levels and the vocal movement she does is more like a yodel xx
Love The Cranberries. Please continue with their music! Dolores passed away recently so this is a wonderful tribute to her! Maybe listen to "No Need to Argue" or "Ode to my family" or "Empty" next... heartbreakingly personal, but such strong songs.
This is the type of song that with Context, hits so much harder. It reminds me of Pearl Jam's Jeremy, which hits even harder now after all the mental/emotional health issues taken front in the last few years in the U.S.
I love watching reaction videos to this song. I'm British, so I get it a bit more than our overseas cousins. Most of the reactions I've seen are from people who clearly don't "get it" Cheers guys!
I'm older than the dad but my daughter was the age that exposed me to this music. it gave me chills then and I still react that way all these years later.
Thank you SO much for giving the background, such an important song for our nation at the time and even still, it holds a special place. It is believed by some that the ceasefire that happened after the song release was because the IRA did not want any more protest songs about them.
I graduated high school in 94 and was working at a music store (corporate) a few weeks later. The two albums that were played NONSTOP over the in-store stereo were this album and Hootie and The Blowfish debut album. As a Metal/Grunge kid, neither band was my cup of tea, but I actually grew to enjoy and appreciate both of those albums.
Saw Hootie in concert around that time. It remains the best live concert I have ever witnessed, and I've seen The Eagles, Doobie Brothers, Peter Frampton, Bob Dylan, CSNY. You get my point. Hootie played 3 curtain calls after playing 3 sets. They covered Elvis, Simon and Garfunkel, Johnnie Cash, they were all over the place and every arrangement was amazing.
I saw them live 2 times and its sounds exactly rhe same live, Delores' voice is like no other and utterly amazing. You can hear its perfection in their softer songs.
You should check out the video to this song. It has great visuals. Also there's a remake by Bad Wolves which Delores was supposed to be featured on but she passed away before they could get her on it. They still made the song which is great and also a great video that pays homage to her.
I was in first year of senior/secondary school in the U.K. when that song came out it was a massive hit in the U.K., it’s a crying shame what happened to the cranberry’s lead singer Delores o'riordan, she drowned in her bath due to alcohol intoxication in London. Such a loss we will never hear her unique voice with new songs again. God bless her.
The cranberries live performances are the best!!! Zombie mtv unplugged , linger live in Paris, ridiculous thoughts live in Detroit and many others 💗💗💗💗💗
The video that goes with the song really brings home the message of the lyrics Dolores hails from my home town of Limerick her voice is phenomenal great reaction guys 👏👏👏❤❤
Love the Cranberries and always loved and thought Dolores had such a beautiful voice. I think her voice and the voice of the ban evanescence are some of the most beautiful voices artistically out there. Anyways its a shame she passed and now we cant ever hear more of her amazing voice in more songs im sure she would have made if still alive and well, but she will live on in her music.
I don't know any Irish person who doesn't get a lump in their throat as soon as this song starts, myself included! Thank you for giving context to the meaning of the song beforehand, it's often overlooked but it's an incredibly powerful response to a very intense political environment. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪
My interpretation is when she's referring to "Zombie", she's saying one would have to be brainwashed or possessed like a Zombie in order to be involved with such absolute evil destruction....
The record company pleaded with her to not put this song on their album and offered her a lot of money to drop it but it was too personal to her. Doloris plays the lead guitar here.
The Cranberries are absolutely one of the best bands to come out of the 90's. Dolores wrote this song in response to the death of Johnathan Ball, 3, and Tim Parry, 12, who were killed in the IRA bombing of Warrington, northwest England. Two devices hidden in litter bins were detonated Johnathan Ball died at the scene of the bombing, five days later Tim Parry lost his life as a result of head injuries. Their were 56 others were injured on that day. It was only after the death of Dolores O'Riordan in 2018 that Colin Parry (Tim's Father) found out the song was about his son.
watching this without the video kind of makes you realize how important imagery can be to vocals...and how a good music video can really tie things together.
One of my favorite bands, Dolores's voice was out of this world, beautiful band full of great musicians, I hope you discover all of their amazing music. btw check out a song called when you're gone, it's one of my favorites and the Dolores's band mates played that song for her at her funeral a few years ago, thanks for the videos🖤
The Bad Wolves cover of this song is top 10 covers ALL TIME for me. Because of the epic performance but also the incredible story behind the making of it. Please do that SOON. Linger by this group is another beautiful classic I hope you guys jump into.

Yea, super sad and iconic in that way. Gave that much more feeling to that cover... hoping they get to that soon.
Yes fucking great cover. Very sad story

So so glad you covered the context correctly before listening, it’s such an integral part of overall cultural context and meaning here in Ireland 🙌

I have heard this song hundreds of times since it was released. It still gets me every time.
I don't know any Irish person who doesn't get a lump in their throat as soon as this song starts, myself included! Thank you for giving context to the meaning of the song beforehand, it's often overlooked but it's an incredibly powerful response to a very intense political environment. Love from Ireland 🇮🇪
One of my favorite songs 🎵
My interpretation is when she's referring to "Zombie", she's saying one would have to be brainwashed or possessed like a Zombie in order to be involved with such absolute evil destruction....
That or you need to have stopped rational thought if you keep repeating violent history thinking that it will l ad to peace.
I would say it's about people being traumatised by the events, it's in their heads all the time causing apathy.
@@antongonist8294 I love your interpretation- better than mine even lol! Thanks for sharing ♥
The record company pleaded with her to not put this song on their album and offered her a lot of money to drop it but it was too personal to her.
Doloris plays the lead guitar here.
The Cranberries are absolutely one of the best bands to come out of the 90's. Dolores wrote this song in response to the death of Johnathan Ball, 3, and Tim Parry, 12, who were killed in the IRA bombing of Warrington, northwest England. Two devices hidden in litter bins were detonated Johnathan Ball died at the scene of the bombing, five days later Tim Parry lost his life as a result of head injuries. Their were 56 others were injured on that day. It was only after the death of Dolores O'Riordan in 2018 that Colin Parry (Tim's Father) found out the song was about his son.
watching this without the video kind of makes you realize how important imagery can be to vocals...and how a good music video can really tie things together.
One of my favorite bands, Dolores's voice was out of this world, beautiful band full of great musicians, I hope you discover all of their amazing music. btw check out a song called when you're gone, it's one of my favorites and the Dolores's band mates played that song for her at her funeral a few years ago, thanks for the videos🖤
The Bad Wolves cover of this song is top 10 covers ALL TIME for me. Because of the epic performance but also the incredible story behind the making of it. Please do that SOON.
Linger by this group is another beautiful classic I hope you guys jump into.
i love this song i found it like two years ago watching a show
My sister sings this when she performs and she knocks it out of the park !
If you ask me one of the best songs of all time!! ❤
Awesome. Of course Delores absolutely nails it with the singing, but the guitars, bass and drums are so on point. This song is a masterpiece.
Dolores
