    Zombie is considered a protest song against the Northern Ireland conflict. Dolores O'Riordan ( leadsinger) wrote the lyrics to the song during the band's 1993 tour of England in memory of two children (Jonathan Ball and Tim Parry) who were killed in an IRA bombing in Warrington on March 20, 1993. ✌️🤘✌️

    Musically, this live version sounds similar to the studio version played in the music video. Visually, the video is worth seeing. It's very powerful. By the way, the lyric "since 1916" is a reference to the 1916 Easter Rising/Rebellion in Dublin. It was one of the key events preceding the Partition of Ireland and the Irish Civil War several years later.

    Rip Deloris yes she is Irish that sound she sings is Keening is a traditional form of vocal lament for the dead in the Gaelic Celtic tradition, known to have taken place in Ireland and Scotland.

    "once in a lifetime" is a good way of putting it. I genuinely think this might be the best song ever written. And that's not just personal preference, I don't consider it one of my personal favourites (though I obviously love it). It's so powerful, with the incredibly melodic yet understated chord progression, the little lead guitar licks, the bass, the DRUMS, the message of the lyrics, and of course Dolores's incredible vocals. I've always been amazed at how strong her voice was considering how physically small she was. Plus the fact that she never seems to be "pushing" her voice, it always seems effortless.

    RIP Delores. She often uses an Irish style of singing that's similar to a yodel. This song is specifically about war and conflict in Ireland and people killing each other's children. Other songs from them are Linger and Dreams

    The band was indeed Irish. The lead singer’s name was Dolores O’Riordan; she died at the age of forty-six in January of 2018 of an accidental drowning. Zombie is a comment on “The Troubles” in Northern Ireland (It’s the same old thing since 1916….). This song stunned me when I first heard it, if you watch the official video you will likely get chills….

    Cranberries last album with Dolores as vocalist was released in 2017. She unfortunately died at age 46 in january 2018.

    Most definately Irish. This song is about 2 boys that were killed in the IRA bombing of Warrington in 1993..............this is up there as one of my favorite songs, yes you are right it's a Masterpiece on many levels. In the 90's prior to that there had been several bombings and a mortor bomb attack. I personally walked past the Victoria Station bomb, just before it exploded and killed someone, I ducked when the mortor bomb attack happed as I was that close, and pretty much ducked when the Baltic exchange bomb went off, they were troubled times.

  • @brownsey1

    So the references to 1916 in this song are referring to the Easter Rising, which began on 24 April 1916. The leaders of the Rising of that time declared a Republic and fought a week long insurrection in Dublin, the capital of Ireland. Some other smaller incidences took place in other parts of Ireland.
    The insurrection against British rule in Ireland was ultimately crushed and the leaders were executed by the British military. Delores, however, is making the point that Irish Republicans of the Troubles era claim their legitimacy from the aims of those in 1916. So it's the same old theme since 1916, in your head they're still fighting.
    Now, the 1916 leaders are almost seen as Ireland's founding fathers today. Still, what the song was pointing out was that, in your head you may be fighting for an ideal like in 1916, or maybe an abstract notion, but in reality people are dying. The song came at a time when ordinary people were sick of the conflict in Northern Ireland. A peace movement had subsequently erupted in the wake of the Warrington bomb of 1993 that killed two young children, and ultimately a ceasefire came into being in 1994. This was broken but another long lasting one was established in 1997, which eventually ended up in the signing of the Good Friday Agreement.
    Just to clarify, all sides committed horrendous acts during The Troubles. Loyalist paramilitary killed civilians indiscriminately, Republican paramilitaries did the same at times, while the British Army were a disgrace on many occasions. It was a cycle of violence and people were simply sick of it by the 90s.

  • @canoli62
    @canoli62 2 года назад +1

    First, Dolores O'Riordan was one of the best singers of the 90s - while not quite as successful in the charts, she was every bit the equal of Celine Dion and Whitney Houston. Her unique, lilting / keening style both isolated her from her contemporaries and has given many of her songs an lingering, haunting feeling now that she's gone.
    Side note, I'm guessing if you've heard anything from the Cranberries before it would be "Dreams" or "Linger" - both were played regularly on American pop radio. If not, I'd say give both a listen.
    Second, I know I say it often in your comment section, but you should really watch the music video. In the case of "Zombie," it is a work of art, both musically, and as a piece of documentary style film. It incorporates symbolic imagery from studio shoots spliced with actual footage from Belfast (the heart of the area with the troubles the song laments) and Dublin. It is stunning. I cannot recommend it enough.

Any cut from Irish Tour '74 would be a great place to start. It was recorded during the Troubles in Ireland and Rory was one of the only artists who would perform in Belfast and Northern Ireland during that time. 10 bombs went off in Belfast the day before his performance but he refused to cancel because he felt the kids needed the music.
