Dolores, and her voice, were uniquely gorgeous. I have been hoping for another band like The Cranberries for decades. Check out "Ode to my Family" for more, but honestly any song from them is great.
I love that you caught on to her accent and heard the southern drawl from America! That's exactly what it is! It was immigrants from mostly Ireland & Scotland that came to the US & settled into the southeastern.. mostly Appalachian mountains/Smokey mountains area of Tennessee, North Carolina, West Virginia,etc. They were so poor and isolated out there in the mountains that their Irish accents stuck around and slowly changed into the accent you hear today! It's so interesting, its actually the beginnings of ebonics & poor blacks slang as well. There are alot of great books and documentarys of the orgins. I just recently read the 1st essay in "Black rednecks & white liberals" by Thomas Sowell. It traces the origins of the "ghetto" African-American culture to the culture of Scotch-Irish Americans. A huge part of my ancestry are poor immigrants from Ireland that moved to the Tennessee mountains, so it really intrigued me. Thanks for another great review, youre awesome!! ❤
@Sweetnessddd she doesn't have a southern drawl. I was just commenting that it is so cool, & rare for someone to hear the American southern accent mixed in her Irish accent... cuz one does come from the other. Here in the US, we wouldn't have that well known southern drawl if it weren't for our ancestors from Ireland & Scotland who came and put roots in the southern mountains of the Eastern side of the US. It's just part of my ancestry that really intrigues me and that most Americans dont even know about it & where it originated from. I was just sharing with him how awesome it was that he picked up on that without even knowing how right he was.
You lost me when you mentioned Sowell - the Bill Cosby of conservative philosophy. Not for any deviancy, but because he’s a black guy who sold out to white racist culture and made it his life’s goal to be “one of the good ones.”
Dreams, Ode To My Family, When You're Gone, Animal Instinct, Promises, Just My Imagination, Salvation, and Ridiculous Thoughts, are also gems by The Cranberries
This song was BIG. It was their first hit in the US as far as I know. Zombie came a couple of years later I think. To me THIS is the Cranberries. Super cinematic video. I miss monastic-era 90's.
I do think that her Limerick accent is more noticeable in her singing than most people's accents (Irish or otherwise) - which I think does echo American folk or country. They had a number of excellent songs, but (IMHO) Zombie transcended music - as a statement of anger, pain, despair, collective guilt & begging for peace - As an Irish man, it completely captured my own feelings.
She's singing in her own Limerick accent, the band are from my city Limerick Ireland 🇮🇪. Alot of Irish people sing in their own Irish accents. They were working on a new album when she passed. Two of the songs have been released. She had a beautiful funeral and a great turn out of all the people of the city. As far as I remember they changed their name when the got signed to a label, my brother dated Delores for a time many years ago and I also worked with the hogan brothers father. If you needed help with the pronunciation of Dolores last name it would sound like O' Rear-don. They were also physically in an episode of the old TV show Charmed and the movie Click and their music has been used many times like in Clueless. They did gigs in limerick and around Ireland in the early 90's as The Cranberry saw us before they changed it.
Love the cranberries ,if you want to hear Dolores vocal range and her traditional Irish keening style I would recommend “ Dreams “ or “ Ode to my family “ , thankyou for your thoughtful reactions 😊
😊 I think it's cute u gave them Kudos for being an Irish band - that landed a Huge Hit on the top charts for ~6 months... & that was a big deal. U2: Hold my Guiness... Teasing! Always loved this song, she had an angelic voice & a lovely accent, I always hear it best in the word linger...
You got there before me about the Limerick accent. 😊 I have spent a good bit of time in Limerick in my youth, party with friends who went to college there. Brilliant, very distinctive accent. I am so happy that The Cranberries didn't try to cover it up, but used it to max effect.
Layne Staley, lead singer for Alice in Chains was one of the greatest singers of rock. He was 34 when he passed away from a combination of drugs and debilitating anxiety. Him, Delores and Amy Winehouse are the 3 that left a big hole in my heart. RIP all of them.
i get chills every time i hear her. consistent goosebumps and i've heard this song hundreds of times. she is so sensational. i wish she was still here but i hope she's at peace
I recommend "Ode to My Family" or "Dreams" from the Cranberries next. And then Sinéad O'Connor's cover of Prince's "Nothing Compares 2U." Sinéad is another great Irish singer.
The Irish are such a musical people. It's how they could pass down their history,despite English occupation and control for such a long time. The country music in US is directly from heritage in Ireland and Scotland. Violin is a fiddle depending on which side of the ocean you're on. They came and settled Appalachia, the south and were in the colonies. Somgs from Appalachia can be traced back there unchanged from hundreds of years ago. *they gave America the term "reckon";to recognize. That's why you hear "I reckon" here. Friend from Scotland says it all the time! Check out "Ode to My Family". Anything from Sinéad O'Connor from album "Lion and the Cobra" especially check out "Famine"; for real 💯RIP Dolores and Sinéad❤
Jim Croce is the ultimate gone-too-soon artist. He has that same quality that Delores has; you hear the beauty and the sincerity in his voice and you cannot help but love him.
I'm gonna put in Shannon Hoon of the band Blind Melon. Not really remembered these days. They put out two albums. Had one hit that still gets air play (No Rain) and a couple other songs that briefly got some attention. He was friends with Axl Rose and can be heard singing backing vocals and is in the music video for the GnR song "Don't Cry." Another one lost to heroin that I wish we got more from.
The first two who come to mind are Nat King Cole and Patsy Cline. Though they didn't usually write the words they got the emotions right. Yes to who yourself said and the person who said Jim Croce. I'm kind of wanting to throw Michael Hutchins in there, too. I'm glad so many that match the sentiment are still alive to reach us through music.
the french singer Daniel Balavoine was planning to go and start to sing in english but he died in a crash in the 80s. Heavily influenced by peter gabriel
Selena (Quintanilla-Perez) and Christina Grimmie, both incredible vocalists and massively positive influences in their respective cultures, each got shot by their fans.
I think it's about stringing someone along. It's one of the cruelest things you can do to someone you ever cared for (or even someone you don't care for). Have the courage to end it if you're not invested in the same way the other person is. Simple! On the other hand she knows she's being strung along, so...if you find yourself in that situation you do have the power (and even responsibility to yourself) to extract yourself even though you're "in deep" I loved this song when it was released and I still find it sonically stunning, but over time I just feel a bit conflicted when I listen to it, for the reasons above. Yes it hurts but don't expect someone who treats you badly to fix the problem for you. You have to look out for yourself, always, full stop. Sucks but it's important. Kick that jerk to the curb, cry it out, pick up and dust off.
You are picking up on the roots of country correctly; the roots of southern culture have partial roots in the Irish and Scots-Gael cultures. The peoples of Ireland and the borderlands between England and Scotland settled in the American south, bringing with them their folk music, language, and "cracker" culture which would give birth to country music, bluegrass, and gospel music. The Irish accent is a big part of that southern dialect. Tom Sowell writes about this in his fabulous book Black Rednecks, White Liberals.
I think the "it" is in reference to dragging out an inevitable ending. She wants to stop being strung along but doesn't have the strength to walk away. She wants him to let her off of the hook, either **** or get off of the pot. The video is weird in that it doesn't necessarily illustrate the concept the lyrics convey and it sort of does, I guess, in that it depicts a bunch of women who look dead inside degrading themselves for men who couldn't care less about them. Other songs, her accent is much more clear. Take, appropriately enough, God Be With You, Ireland. I love 95% of their repertoire and it is extensive.
Jeff Buckley, and Eva Cassidy, are two superb singers who barely got started and could have still been going strong today. Their untimely deaths left us with only one album each that had been released. Both had such unique and wonderful voices, they would have gone on producing fantastic material for the next 29 and 27 years since they left us.
@@blumoon3100 You're welcome. What can I say, I'm a sucker for a great voice. Unfortunately with Jeff Buckley it's unlikely you'll hear his work if you don't go looking for it. His cover of Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah", wasn't a hit until ten years after his death, but that's what made me want to seek out his work and listen to his voice more. His cover of Oasis's Wonderwall is excellent too. His own song "Lover, You Should've Come Over" is superb, one of my favourites.
Jeff Buckley, definitely died too soon, before his 30's, try Lilac Wine, I'm sure you know Hallelujah by him, he has such a haunting unique voice, you'll be shocked and thrilled. He has a special story, if you dig deeper.
On my list that artists who died too soon that could been even bigger would be Chris Cornell, Layne Staley, Dolores of course, Amy Winehouse... off the top of my head them but i'm prob missing a few that should be on that list, my list.
First musician I thought of who was a genius and died before they made it huge was Jeff Buckley. Then I thought of Elliot Smith, Ian Curtis from the band Joy Division, ohhh and Nick Drake! There's got to be more im not thinking of.
Part of what you are hearing isn't an accent, it is a vocal technique. When people hear the term 'yodel' they think old country and western music (Hank Williams) or the Sheepherder song from The Sound of Music. However the ability to yodel, which is to move from the chest register for low sounds to the head register for high sounds, done quite rapidly, is found all over the world. In Delores case, it is considered a 'Celtic yodel', and while others can do it, she is renowned for her natural ability, clear notes, and range when doing it. It is a natural part of her singing, though some songs it is more dominant than others. Beth Roars, a vocal coach, does a nice job of describing the Celtic yodel, but also mentions the hard 'rhotic R' that you noticed. ruclips.net/video/ZXlD8IkxO6Q/видео.html

Check out the artist Nic Christopher. There are very few videos but there are some recordings of him. Died way too young and well before this time. Heyday is the most well known song of his. I presonally like Listen Girl...
Her voice reminds you of a country singer. Not surprising because this is essentially a country song. I'd like for a good quality country band do a cover of this song with a pedal steel guitar. But, there aren't many, if any, quality country bands anymore. The genre had crashed into trash.
she was a superstar she changed the world in her life time zombie helped change politics that her song was directed at and she is a superstar just not here with us any more
Good day sir MBB pls react to CHAR OF THE FRANZ RYTHM FAMILY BAND FROM THE 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭 rendition of ZOMBIE by DOLORES ITS AMAZING COVERED SONG AND A VERY SIMILAR TO ORIGINAL MORE POWER TO UR CHANNEL 🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭❤❤❤
Southereners get their way of talking from Manchester which has a very large Irish population Kurt Cobain. Killed himself after two albums. His wife rose to fame with albums of his unfinished songs
Yes they were a pop band the song zombie was a deviation from their norm. Which made it so potent. It was her visceral reaction to the news of the death of the children. You see it’s not me. It’s not my family. Ie. I’m Irish but I’m not a part of this.
![Felix "Unfair" | [Stray Kids : SKZ-PLAYER]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/Oswujxm2Ag0/mqdefault.jpg)
Ugh, this song gets me every time. Came out in my college years, when the only man i ever loved broke my heart. Hearing this is like a time machine.
Dolores, and her voice, were uniquely gorgeous. I have been hoping for another band like The Cranberries for decades. Check out "Ode to my Family" for more, but honestly any song from them is great.
Great reaction, thank you so much. We miss our beautiful Dolores RIP. Thanks again, love from Ireland
I love that you caught on to her accent and heard the southern drawl from America! That's exactly what it is! It was immigrants from mostly Ireland & Scotland that came to the US & settled into the southeastern.. mostly Appalachian mountains/Smokey mountains area of Tennessee, North Carolina, West Virginia,etc. They were so poor and isolated out there in the mountains that their Irish accents stuck around and slowly changed into the accent you hear today! It's so interesting, its actually the beginnings of ebonics & poor blacks slang as well. There are alot of great books and documentarys of the orgins. I just recently read the 1st essay in "Black rednecks & white liberals" by Thomas Sowell. It traces the origins of the "ghetto" African-American culture to the culture of Scotch-Irish Americans. A huge part of my ancestry are poor immigrants from Ireland that moved to the Tennessee mountains, so it really intrigued me. Thanks for another great review, youre awesome!! ❤
All of that is true but how does she have a Southern drawl when she is in fact Irish from my own home city of Limerick 😂
@Sweetnessddd she doesn't have a southern drawl. I was just commenting that it is so cool, & rare for someone to hear the American southern accent mixed in her Irish accent... cuz one does come from the other.

Hard yes to all, especially Ridiculous Thoughts where she REALLY shows her vocal talents! 🥰
I love the Cranberries & Dorores O'Riordan's voice is so haunting. So very sad that she's not with us anymore.
Ode To My Family is my favorite.
*Her accent really comes through ❤
This song was BIG. It was their first hit in the US as far as I know. Zombie came a couple of years later I think. To me THIS is the Cranberries. Super cinematic video. I miss monastic-era 90's.

I like you. You're a thinker...with emotions. Respect
There's like maybe 20 voices out there that most people just say oh that's so and so she's one of 100000 !

I love ode...what an amazing band
She's not keening in this song. Her style of singing is called Sean-nos singing.
True. My wife was sparkling and lovely. Died last year age 36. It hurt so bad. Always will. 😢❤
Dreams is angelic
Yes! Dreams!!!!
😊 I think it's cute u gave them Kudos for being an Irish band - that landed a Huge Hit on the top charts for ~6 months... & that was a big deal.
U2: Hold my Guiness...
Teasing! Always loved this song, she had an angelic voice & a lovely accent, I always hear it best in the word linger...
I immediately heard Irish in her accent myself...beautiful accent, beautiful feminine voice.
Irish guy here, that’s the beautiful Limerick accent, very Irish

I'm glad so many that match the sentiment are still alive to reach us through music.
I think she said it, as in what lingers, is the kiss. This kiss on her lips.
I believe Dolores wrote this about an early love of hers
the french singer Daniel Balavoine was planning to go and start to sing in english but he died in a crash in the 80s. Heavily influenced by peter gabriel
Nobody sounds like Delores. She was a unique one…
"Ode to My Family" is another essential song from Dolores. My daughter and I love your videos!🙌🙏♥
Great reaction! I highly highly recommend the Bad Wolves version of "Zombie." A modern and well-done remake that'll hit home for you. 🙂❤
Selena (Quintanilla-Perez) and Christina Grimmie, both incredible vocalists and massively positive influences in their respective cultures, each got shot by their fans.

I'm Southern, and places you know as having southern accents are heavily scottish/irish in their white ancestry, so your observation is dead on.
I listened to this song while going through my divorce from my husband who cheated, it just resonated s deeply.
Karen Carpenter of the Carpenters.

Southereners get their way of talking from Manchester which has a very large Irish population
Kurt Cobain. Killed himself after two albums. His wife rose to fame with albums of his unfinished songs
Big time Irish accent.
Definitely. But you can mistake how US Southerners talk with an Irish accent. Afterall American Southerners were from Manchester?
Amy Whinehouse went too soon,
John Lennon
I always thought that this was one strange video and had nothing to do with the song.
Jeff Buckley
Aaliyah

Your analysis is wrong in every aspect
Yes they were a pop band the song zombie was a deviation from their norm. Which made it so potent. It was her visceral reaction to the news of the death of the children. You see it’s not me. It’s not my family. Ie. I’m Irish but I’m not a part of this.
