Your empathy watching this was beautiful. I love this song. The power of Dolores' voice always gets to me.
You can feel that she can feel all that pain.
@@AlexandraVioletta you see this a lot with black peoples reacting to this song/video . A lot of us grew up with a large amount of violence , injustice and death around us. It’s something we can empathize with very strongly. That’s why you see so many of us cry during the reactions
@@mookiestewart3776 As an old saying goes, The Irish are the Blacks of Europe.
@@AlexandraVioletta99.9% chance you've lived your entire life in the suburbs. Rich kids and mixed kids are always the people pushing this victim BS. Entire lives centered around gaining the acceptance of the ones that told them they're not really black bc they're half white or they're not real bc they didn't grow up on the hood. Guess what? They'll never accept you.
I was one of the kids in this music video. I remember the camera crew arriving for a few days and we where all just asked to play around as normal. My house is also in the background. It looked grim but it was the best childhood. I wouldn't change it.
The last centurion wow that’s amazing, feel free to share more if u want. I hope u got paid. I always wished I could of been on tv or in a music vid when I was younger so I could show everyone my claim to fame lol 😆, well as long as it wasn’t on Jim’ll fix it 😷, to far, yup I think so to.
Wow
That's amazing to hear,at least we know that much.I hope your life continues to be one that you have no regret about.Bless you!Peace!
woahhh 🤧
That's crazy, I was watching this video earlier and I always wondered about the production with the kids in the video. I assumed what you said, only because it just seemed so authentic. I'm american irish. We send love from America! God bless Ireland!
Dolores O'Riordian has one of the most recognizable voices of the 90's. I still can't believe that she is gone 😢 R. I. P. Dolores 💔 Great reaction ❤️
She tried to take her life before she made this album when the former singer broke up with her. It's a shame she could never escape those demands.. I've been fighting the same demons sens I was six years old.. But it has been a few years sense I've tried last.. Many years now that I think about it 🙂 I've been a good girl 😉
Texas les61 SHE WAS A POWERHOUSE 🔥😢!!
Getting pissed and drowning in the bath tub is not a smart way to go But a very Irish way to go
Thank God that everyone replying with negative comments never had to deal with mental health issues...or have you?
RIP, went out in a truly Irish way. Lol!!! Love you Delores.
This song was about the conflict in Ireland, it says bomb in the chorus twice - once for three-year-old Johnathan Ball who was killed when two bombs hidden in litter bins detonated on a busy shopping street in March 1993 and for Tim Parry, aged 12, who died five days later.
Dolores was going to reprise the vocals with the rock group Bad Wolves to highlight current conflicts. The day she was due to record her lyrics she died.
Bad Wolves released the song with the royalties going to Dolores children and family.
I think the Bad Wolves, probably need it more than her family-her Wiki page said she was worth $66 m when she died.
The Bad Wolves version is incredible as well
One of the greatest songs ever.
I was an 85 baby and I concur
This is the first reactor I’ve seen that understands the song immediately, and on a deep level, from a very personal and empathetic perspective. Other reactors I’ve seen that can really connect to the song usually know the historical perspective behind the Troubles and the incident that inspired the Cranberries to write this song. However, while it doesn’t seem that India came into this song knowing the history of the IRA, she seems to have such an insight into the song and feels it somewhere deep in her heart. Such a gift is not to be overlooked.
Yes she's amazing
She is incredibly insightful and empathetic!
@leftclick You said it..
she is a liberal and fuck the black and tan
@@Glaaki13 come out you black and tans come out and fight me like a man
"But you see, it's not me. It's not my family." is the most strong punch of this song. A bitch slap with a steel gaunlet.
Fábio Duarte Here is how she thought up the song. It was written in response to the death of Johnathan Ball, 3, and Tim Parry, 12, who had been killed in the IRA bombing in Warrington, northwestern England, when two devices hidden in litter bins were detonated.[20][21] Johnathan Ball died at the scene of the bombing as a result of his shrapnel inflicted injuries and, five days later, Tim Parry lost his life as a result of fatal head injuries. Fifty-four others were injured, some seriously.[22][23] The two boys had gone shopping to buy Mother's Day cards on one of the town's busiest shopping streets
We are all guilty of that thought. We don't always stand up even when we know things are wrong.
@@wilindaward I think the line is meant to disavow the act and make clear that whilst done in the name of 'the people' this was nothing to do with her or her family. It wasn't saying it wasn't her problem.
The sad thing is its still true
You are a wonderful human being. Keep expanding your horizons. Really, a beautiful reaction.
The main thing people forget about zombies is that not only are they mindless, but they are being controlled. I think that's an important point of this song. If you let yourself become desensitized to the violence because it's not your family, then you are part of the zombie horde being led mindlessly.
Alt rock in early 90’s had a lot of deep stuff.
One of the most important songs ever written in my view.
Winds of change - Scorpions
Agree with you 100%
Barricades,spandau ballet
You are not soft....you had the reaction of a truly decent human watching that. It makes me cry too.
My mum grew up in Belfast and at the height of the troubles was forced to leave. This makes me cry for her
can I just say I really appreciate you for realising the seriousness of the song and being moved by it. the troubles were really bad and I have seen a few first time reactions to this song and they almost take the piss out of it. Thanks for being a good person, God bless.
Zombies are mindless killers, this song was a reaction to the Irish Republican Army and the British armed forces killing innocent civilians in the constant retalliations from both sides.
EXACTLY !!!!
I'm ex military and Scottish and the Irish fought for a really good reason
Kenneth Prentice I agree. Hundreds of years of oppression and discrimination by England. While knowing they also took lots of innocent lives in the fight. In the 80s the IRA was the most feared insurgent organization globally. Fierce.
Derry!!!!
Cork!!!!
This song was written about the 1993 IRA bombing in Warrington, and in memory of two young boys, Johnathan Ball and Tim Parry
REST IN PEACE Dolores Oriordan, a beautiful soul gone too soon. Love the Cranberries
more people need to know this ...it smore than a song to some of us...being of irish decent...i cry like a baby anytime i hear her voice or this song.
I'm from Warrington. I had no idea this song was written about the Warrington attack.
@@hannahb6750 it's still happening it needs to stop
@@hannahb6750 and the troubles
The song was written for all lives lost during the troubles!
You are an incredible intuitive young women, as an Irish person watching you review this master piece of art and breaking it down in they way you did is simply amazing, you have such a gift, lots of love from Ireland
You're such a kind soul: Empath. Innocents are innocents in someone else's war. 🙏💜 we all need to LOVE one another.
R.I.P to the British soldiers and innocent civilians that was killed during 'the troubles' In Ireland. Which is what this song is about.
I never felt so bad for someone reacting to a song. And so glad for someone reacting to a song. Thank you.
So right, tough to watch you react but it's exactly the reaction that the Cranberries wanted so people would think about this tragic situation, after the Good Friday peace agreement there is a fragile peaceful situation, we must protect that so ROI and NI do not revert to the former so called "troubles"
What a GORGEOUS soul you have chicky! As someone who has grew up listening to the cranberries and honestly think that they opened my heart. I am SO happy that you experience the music and not just listen to it. What a video
40 years ago when I was young, I loved The Cranberries! Now that I am old...I still do. War is brainless!
Bad, your math is bad.
@@Alex-dh2cx It happens with age =)
War isn't Brainless.
War is necessary.
Wether it be for Good reason or Bad, it teaches You stuff, on both sides.
@@RandomCrap-lu8or No, it is not.
@@karlshaner2453 I'm not arguing with You, but in My opinion.
War is neccesary.
This song is disturbing and it is meant to be. The sad thing is that innocent children are dying all over the world still.
... yet the message transcends the events that inspired it.
Edit: This a reply to Ofra. Had to delete the reply@ tag because RUclips converted my text right to left.
@עפרה כהן
They wrote this song after the IRA bomb in Warrington killed 2 children.
The golden children represent the the dead children from the war. They are Angels now
And adding in general to the religious context of the conflict as such, I would guess.
Exactly, and at the very end of the video you can see it flash between the dead child who was lying on the ground and him as an angel, which really hammers the point home.
Thats what that mean? I always thought they were Cupids being out numbered and surrounded by darkness so they cant do their job which is shooting arrows of love. 🤣🤣🤣 I suck at this.
I live in Belfast during the troubles the soldiers use to ransack our homes stopped and searched us on the streets just for being Catholic and shot innocent people on the streets during roots and peaceful sit down protests. I'm glad the war is over Ireland is in peace now . But it wasn't just a case of them doing there jobs it was a hate war through and through I've lost both family and friends due to the fighting . And I forone am sick of war. Only thing it leads too is death and broken homes and broken hearts..
andrew chambers the soldiers where an invading force the reason for the fighting was because Britain invaded our country and made us second class citizens. We weren't allowed housing or high paid Job's we weren't allowed to vote we had no rights the who giving hate back comment shows stupidity and a lack of understanding what was happening in Ireland during the trouble's plus the Brits was ordered by the prime minister of Britain was to stop the riots and control the Irish at all costs including the deaths of innocent people and children the every day during the trouble's Catholic people were being arrested for walking the streets and locked up with no trial's or a court of law. If you where a Catholic you were a criminal of the queen of Britain and while we attacked soilders who were getting paid alot of money to fight they were not forced into Ireland any soilders that came to MY country were there if there own free will and unlike the black and tans ( which were a type of soilder unit nothing to do with race or colour) used to tie children to the back of there landies and drag them down roads till they died if there injures and during arrests would have heated people to death as well as shooting them during the darkest time of the trouble's a peaceful protest by the Irish civil rights movement that was inspired by the great late Dr Martin Luther king and a amazing lady called Rosie parks the Brits shot into the crowed of a peaceful march and killed many people who were unarmed and were not violent the sat on the streets and refused to move while they were being gun down by your " soilders who were showing hate back. That day was forever known as bloody Sunday your what us Irish call an remit. which means an idiot who has know clue what he is talking about
... I was 13y when my father died in war for independence, I saw a dead people, wounded people, I saw this, whole, war, refugees, suffering, pain, during '91.... love you dad ❤️
The children painted gold are the spirits of the children.
Rusty Holmes Also: Gold is a “Precious metal” & obviously very valuable. So the children were painted Gold to say, “Children are PRECIOUS the most VALUABLE thing in the World and those Children weren’t treated like they were Precious and Valued by Society. And it’s absolutely atrocious & Monstrous, How the Children were beaten & destroyed & slaughtered & discarded like they were less a dog.
@@motocross_cooper destroyed by both sides.
This was in their lifetime. The ceasefire in the conflict was only signed in 1994. They lived through that conflict as kids.
And it might flare up again when Brexit goes through ...
Still a lot of bitter people think the war should keep going.
well 1998 really
They lived in the Republic of Ireland, they didn't experience what we did in the north. They were speaking of realities of the north but it was never their experience. Lucky for them. For it was mine. And I still have trauma from it all these years later.
Im a protestant, live with a catholic, if we were in the 70s/80s i would have been tarred and feathered, maybe worse. No side was right but both sides suffered
this is an incredible song about the effects of the war in Ireland, particularly on kids growing up in that environment who grow up desensitized to the violence around them (aka zombies), or grow up taking part in and getting hurt/dying from the violence around them. Love this song!
nearly the same between ireland - north ireland like the civil war in the US between north and south... i know... its not the same, but so the most americans understand it faster...^^
@andrew chambers Ireland is Ireland. It's like if the British said that they were going to keep New York and Pennsylvania after the War of Independence here in the U.S.. We would fight to keep the country intact. There were loyalists in that war too. They either stayed Americans or went to Canada. The British in Ireland could have went to the U.K. It's right in their backyard.
@andrew chambers If it wasnt for dirtbags like you there would be no trouble in ireland
macker33 @maker123....and it’s “dirtbags” like you who keep ireland divided, with your sectarian, bigoted remarks.
You can say that to those living in ghettos
I got the shivers from head to toe listening to this song! Dolores O'Riordian was a genius and her spirit still lives on through her music. God Bless from Ireland.
When you look at the history of Ireland, you begin to understand. Then the deeper you get the more you realize you don’t understand. The oppression of the Irish people lasted far longer than can even be imagined.
As a American I do understand,nothing is free. That's why we dont give up our weapons and right to free speech.
@@rogerdavidsmith8942 a big difference in what you got in the US and what we grew up with on them streets. We didn't even have free speech
@@cathalodiubhain5739 nothing free about freedom,whether it's the Hitler across the ocean or the one Hiding among us in plain sight. Somebody had the nerve to put in our constitution the right to bear arms. Which guarantees our right to free speech. Sad some in our media use it to freely destroy us ,or try too.
The oppression of slavery,red people began long before we became a country,our neighbors to the South pretend to not know they are also European,Spain Portugal. However over the yrs after 1791 we began correcting some of those mistakes in Places like Gettysburg,Alabama,. For some that make living off of race,it wont matter.
@@rogerdavidsmith8942 for 800 hundred year we couldn't make our own decisions, All our leaders were in jail or murdered, all our laws made by the British, forced to speak English, make up English name for our Irish names. Thank good things have changed. I think only someone crazy would decide to take on the US in war. Not just because of your military might but because the American people are strong willed and proud.
The worse kind of conflict too - war of attrition, multi-generational, brother vs. brother, occupiers vs. occupied, Protestant vs. Catholic. The only "good" side is the one you're on and the first victims are always the children. Pray for peace everywhere. RIP Dolores and all the innocent victims of war.
I mean, they came here and treated us like dirt. Took our homes and land. You think anyone with a set of balls on them will allow that type of shit. We fought to stay Irish we fought back. Bad things happen in wars, thank God we don't start any here in Ireland
@@___blaggard999___8 I hear you. My father's family is Irish ancestry. Our ancestor came to the colony of Virginia after a life of slavery in the Bahamas, parents murdered by Cromwell and the English invasion. So many people don't realize that Africans weren't the only ones to arrive in the New World as slaves. But when I was young, we had an Irish priest, from Limerick, and he always had us all pray for peace in Ireland so I was always aware of the situation and I still pray for healing. Christians shouldn't be fighting with each other for sure. But war like all other great ills has been with us all on Earth since the beginning but we have to continue to try to walk in peace and forgiveness of one another.
And I even though I grew up in America - still experienced the hate from some for being a Catholic in the heavily Protestant, anti-Catholic American South. So even generations later and on another continent part of the conflict still goes on though with less violence but just hateful words and disdain.
The English have no right to be in Ireland. The entire UK is made up of nothing but conquered peoples.
@@___blaggard999___8
The point is that even with the highest and best intentions the results of war are that.
FUBAR
And as soon a few generations are doing it the reason why does not matter.
This “war”/“situation” you were talking about was known as “The Troubles”. It’s a shame that this isn’t talked about that much. It wasn’t that long ago. And we need to learn from history otherwise WE will be doomed to repeat it.
At the lowest point in my life, when I lost everything I loved (wife and daughter) two men stood by me, two men were there on the darkest nights. When every other "friend" "mate" disappeared, they were there, they were the ones who got the gun out of my mouth, and the bottle out of my hand. When rage, and hate filled me, and every poor of my body screamed for revenge, they pulled me aside, and kept me safe. When the bullets flew, and the bombs exploded, they pulled me out.
One IRA, bled for me, I bled for him, would have died for me, and I would do the same for him.
The other an interrogator assigned to the MRF, he called us enemies, he called us bastards, yet he was there for us, loved us, and kept us alive and sane when the world went to hell around us.
Those two men putting aside their hate, to save me showed me what a brother really is. I walk free today because one saw past the hate. I walk today because the other was there when I died, he brought me back, and wont let me forget the debt I owe. He is still on the run and will probably be for the rest of his life, but he is my brother and I love him for what he did for me.
Get ready for round 2 after no deal Brexit takes place.
@@VadulTharys I'm glad they saved you. God bless them for it and God bless you too,mo chara!
its the english in ireland, by the way i am english,lol............
What's not being talked about is the reasoning for centuries of bloodshed in the name of God (?) 🤯
Great emotional reaction India to our talented Dolores RIP. She had an amazing voice which opened at our hearts, we felt her powerful pain in her unbelievable voice. Sadly, this is happening in Gaza and Palestine today, as well as many other places.
Thanks again India, great emotional reaction, love and virtual hugs from Ireland x
I studied Oral History as Archaeology for my degree and we looked at Irish Gael and Celtic stories. One of the things pointed out by our professor was the verbalising, staccato 'oh-oh's'. They are a form of keening or 'wailing' from the Gaelic language used when mourning.
EDIT: being old enough to remember the event that inspired this song, the clear bins at train stations we still have as well as verbal warnings about abandoned luggage that have been around since the bombing of the Arndale Shopping Centre in Manchester, I also remember the Good Friday Agreement of 1998. No one I knew believed it would last. When the Provisional IRA finally downed guns we were stunned. It is still an armistice though, not a blackline, formal, end of the story situation and that is sad.
The dual tone "wailing" is known as Keening and you'd have professional keeners at funerals in rural ireland up into the 20th century.
Still no metal bins are placed in manchester now the legacy still lives on
Cranberries "Linger" about first loves and "Ode to my Family"
Yes you should review Linger.
Pugiron I’m the grand daughter of Irish immigrants on one side and great grand parents on the other . A history hidden . I was born in an Irish community but taught our history. 😭
A boy who grew up in my home was indigenous and used to sing “linger” when I was driving the kids around . He died in Iraq. Knew him since age 5 and he thought he was helping kids in Iraq . He was 21.
Idk. Both songs hit me deeply.
It hurts .
Linger is about a fart...true story.
Pugiron animal instinct😭😭😭
RIP Delores. Good choice India. sorry that you're upset, but it just shows that Delores hit the nail on the head with this one.
Sometimes art is not easy.
RIP to one of the most iconic female artists of all time!
I didn't see many real emotions about a vid/song like this one! Thank you!
"Just because we all couldn't love each other." Pure and simple. Dead on the money.
The children are gold because they are precious, like gold
This song will forever KILL......the message is intense, but the music is incredible. The drums in this song you can literally feel inside every time the snare is hit. They are like gunshots, which goes along amazing with the story of the song.
When you said you have experienced poverty, it makes my hurt. You soul is to beautiful. I hope it made you emotional stronger.
R.I.P. Dolores O'Riordian - the world can't afford to lose people like her.
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
😪😢😭💗💗💗 Rip Delores.
"Ireland, in the UK I believe..." hehe, thats kinda what the conflict was all about :)
lol came looking for this comment as soon as i heard that
Lol I thought that too.
Hold up we are not part of the UK here in republic
For Derry!!!
Ireland fought for its independence in the early 20th Century after multiple attempts for independence. Northern Ireland had many years of turmoil and violence over British rule and discrimination from the 1970's on. There finally was a peace agreement and for the most part there is peace. This is about that bloody time.
29 years and still this video and song makes me cry.
i grew up in Belfast, born there in the 70s, still here, know this song well, things maybe arnt as bad as they were in the past, the paramilitaries' no longer kill people from the other communities, instead they have turned the guns on their own communities to keep themselves in control of the streets , the peace walls separating the communities have been made higher while the paramilitaries have grown more powerful with thousands of members, this song has never made me emotional [maybe desensitized] but for some reason your reaction pulled my heart strings. i know we are living in a tinder box and that it would only take a spark to reignite the troubles, i wish more people could see what this song is saying, thank you Dolores O Riordan, may you rest in peace x
Well said Bobby. I'm from Wexford in the republic of Ireland and this song is so relevant now more than ever. There are unfortunately too many zombies on this island north and south. We all need to take on board the overall message of this song and live together in peace. History should teach us that war and killing innocents is not the way forward. Peace to all nations. 🇮🇪🇬🇧🇪🇺🇺🇦🇷🇺
As a former member of a paramilitary, my old hatreds still occasionally flare up I am one of the 'zombies' i guess..., but it seems a part of me i can't change. My son and daughter don't communicate with me, their mother left me and has since passed away... they were often on the end of one of my many rants, they knew my history and don't like it. I believe now itt is better they are part of the modern Ireland...as for myself, I guess I just have to accept I was on the wrong side of history and now I just keep to myself.
Was it worth it?, I guess it was to those who got compensated with a big bank robbery (nothing to see here) and retirement homes in Donegal, innocent people murdered while both sides were getting their strings pulled by the British, and they could sit and have a drink with each other when they carved up the place for their racketeering, anyone commenting here seems to be one of those kids who were around and can point out that that's were they played, in derelict buildings and up and down entries and that was normal to us, the last thing we thought of was a fkn virus, running about the way we did as there was no going into the house when there was a big street out there, a virus wouldn't have come near us as we were covered in everything, that child that was killed was out getting something for mother's day and the town was busy, there'll never be a generation like us, I think it's only the Irish who with their sense of humour that an outsider will never get is what has gotten us through so much, but the mask only comes off when we're alone and thinking of all those we've lost and we mourn for and knowing that we were just pawns in their sick games but they got paid off nicely as we learned they were all in it together, and we are left with the scars.☘️☘️☘️🇮🇪
"When the violence causes silence, we must be mistaken"... "it's no me, it's not my family" "in your head". Well, 2020 is here, this damn song has sooooo many ideas we should have applied long ago!
I was just thinking that!!!
@@LeoniaCunha Same. Its odd how songs like this, and Land of Confusion by Genesis never lose relevance.
@@tiffaneyevans2004 I would say it's sad more than odd. Just shows we people learn nothing sadly :s
I agree, it’s horrible how quickly people forget the past and what we thought we learnt from it. Going in the same violent circle.
@@LeoniaCunha It's not that we havent learnt anything it's that we're still being controlled and manipulated by the same international 'elite' responsible for nearly all the worlds problems.
And when I say 'we' I mean the irish, the british and most of the world.
Our problems are always the elite -- from the terrible treatment of the Irish to the extreme laws and control brought in in the name of fighting covid and the further controls coming our way in the name of tackling climate change and the great reset...it's always the elite...
You're such a mom. And I mean that in the best way possible.
peace x
Moms are the best...
Damn, you really are empathetic to this song! What a powerful reaction! You are awesome 💜 blessings to you and yours
This is a fantastic song... full of meaning and sentiment about a senseless war ... Dolores was an amazing expressive singer.. she will be missed , she died recently..
Love the Cranberries. Still mourning Delores. This song still brings me to tears...it's still relevant AF.
You fu.kin nailed it!✌
I heard this song when it came out back in 94 so too see you react this way, thank you!
Nailed what?
RIP Dolores and her perfect eyebrows
She fookin did it!
R.E.M. had similar visuals in their song “Losing my religion”. Good stuff indeed.
A very powerful song I love the cranberries
And people wonder why I miss the bands of the 90s.
Zombie represents the walking dead. Meaning they were killing each other in the name of a battle that belongs to their parents/past generation. It was a civil war.
My favourite line is "but you see, it's not me. It's not my family in your head. In your head they're still fighting".
The zombie was engaging in mindless violence, fighting another generation's battles and seeing enemies instead of other families like their own.
It was not a civil war. t was a liberation war against the British occupation in the north of Ireland.
Zombie is soldiers who's mindless and only act by orders
M S you are correct. This war was primarily against British oppression in Ireland. The civil war was years earlier after the events of 1916. When ireland claimed back 26 of our 32 counties, a division formed between Irish people over whether or not we should keep fighting for the 6 counties.
@@bayumahendra24 thats both sides of the conflict.
The pictures in the video come from my hometown Belfast. It was very bad back in the day, but a much more peaceful place today.
Nice reaction.
I'm glad Ireland has some peace now, I hope to visit someday, looks like there are some very beautiful places there.
im from croatia, but my hopes are with you for resolvement of the current predicament that could repeat the happening back then
Let's hope it remains that way. Alas, given with a bunch of people who never supported the GFA running the UK right now, that's far from certain...
For how long 😥

She was murdered because of this song . She is in the same category as Chester Bennington and Chris Cornell .

Everything in this song lined up to send the message of the pain caused by humanity's insistence on senseless violence in the name of control or power. Her use of keening makes it so powerful and even her guitar sounds like it is in mourning. Sometimes, the stars align to create a perfect piece of music and this was one of them.
It's nice to see someone react with emotion and understand the meaning behind song. We just lost her 2 years ago
What a human reaction. Made me cry. Seemed like the first time you'd heard about the conflict in Ireland, specifically Northern Ireland. It's weirdly heartwarming to see you instantly get it in the way that you did. A+ video.
I believe the golden children are meant to be precious as gold. When they’re golden, they’re in heaven. They’ve died and gone.
❤that's exactly what I have thinking. No other reactors have said that
This India girl is a true Empath. She is very sensitive and special 💜
Please take the advice of others here: listen to “Linger” by the Cranberries. It really is a beautiful song. 🎶
WOW! You're so sensitive! You have such a beautiful, tender heart. God bless you. BTW, Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2 is basically about the same thing.
Sunday Bloody Sunday is about a 30 minute incident in a 800 year struggle.
@@dougoneill7266 Sunday Bloody Sunday uses the topic of a smaller incident to symbolize a greater struggle. Good art is rarely as literal as being solely "about a 30 minute incident."
@@AngeloBarovierSD I won't disagree with you just for the sake of it Angelo, except for the bit where you refer to U2 as art. lol
I love how you really “get it”. Your soul feels this song as much as mine does and I’ve loved this album since the day it dropped!
So proud of your observations! Not only did you completely slay the definition of this song, you took the TIME to look up the back story! KUDOS TO YOU!
Shattered when Delores died. Such a sad day.
She was such a great voice when you think of 90s music she always comes to mind . Definitely sad to know she’s gone
You have a good heart. Rare in today’s world. I appreciate you.
You are clearly an empath. Takes a toll, doesn't it? You just nailed this! God bless your gentle soul.
This song is SO powerfull. It still gives me the chills. Beautiful and beautiful singer. So sad she isn't with us anymore 💔
There is a recent remake by a group called Bad Wolves. The story goes they contacted her and let her listen to it. She approved and was even on the way to do the vid when she died. The group has donated everything from that song to her kids. Top notch. Had me balling.
I've listening this song since the 90's, and this is the first time I cried with it.
The symbolism of this song speaks to the mindless wars all over the world. Thank you for your heartfelt reaction.
This is the best reaction video I've ever seen. I love watching people seeing and hearing music videos that I grew up with...but the sincere attempt to understand the meaning of it, along with empathy you convey, that sent me over the edge and I cried for those little kids right along with you as if it were my first time too. India, you have an instant fan here!
The song was specifically written in response to two young boys killed by an IRA bombing.
In Warrington, England, the town over from my own :(

Dolores O’Riodian you are solely missed, one of a Ireland’s greatest ❤️
Zombie was an anti-war anthem that took aim at the religious violence in Northern Ireland also known as “The Troubles”. There would be one incident in particular which inspired the creation of the song and that occurred On March 20, 1993. Explosives hidden under a garbage can in the city of Warrington in Northwestern England took the lives of a 3 year old and 12 year old boy and injured dozens of others. The two boys had gone shopping to buy Mother’s Day cards on one of the town’s busiest shopping streets and the same point in time The Cranberries were on tour in the UK and frontwoman Deloris O’Rierdon was on the band’s tour bus in London when she heard the news.
""Zombie" is a protest song by Irish alternative rock band the Cranberries, written in memory of the two young victims who were killed in the 1993 Warrington bombings, Johnathan Ball and Tim Parry. Johnathan Ball was only 3 years old and Tim Parry was only 12.
I cried watching you feel the same emotions I have for this song. So much love for this reaction 😭💛
One of the best songs in the history of the English language. I miss Dolores O'riordan. Her voice was so awesome.
Finally!! This is what I want in a reaction video. I’ve always loved this song and even though I didn’t know the exact history behind it I could feel the pain and anger. Thank you for focusing on deciphering meaning in lyrics not just voices and production. Good job.
Thank u mama, for showing your emotion. 90s music, unfiltered, un social media, will most make u cry. That was a time with no filter. ❤
For those of us with Scottish/Irish ancestry, this is soul music.
Yes 🙌
And for many English but the last time I checked we were one state.
So you're Scottish,I take it.
Hey what about us welsh
🏴 and 🇮🇪 here
The “troubles” took someone I cared about very deeply. She was 20. I still can’t listen to this whole song
lumpheadthump Sorry to hear that. Must bring it back.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope you find your inner peace.
so many broken hearts
Sympathies

Look at we are living in now. It makes me cry everytime. I'm a 32 yr old male from Australia. She uses keening through her songs, that's why it hits and makes people sad, it's a mourning tone.
I'm from London Derry North Ireland and I am so proud of you understanding what we gone through! It was rough for us and people don't seem to realize what we been through. Thank you for your empathy for our people. We love ya or I do anyway!
No need to add London in front of derry . It's Derry city
Everyone had the same reaction as you did when this video was on MTV..when they actually played videos.
They don’t show music videos anymore?!?? Lol I’m so old
@@missy.x.6918 I'm old too, and sadly no they don't.
Things like this happen "just because we couldn't love each other". My dear, I couldn't have said it better myself. 💖💕💕 Peace and love to you!
I was 13 or 14 when this was released. I was too young to realise the brilliance of this song at the time... 26 years later, it always brings a tear to my eye...
ผมแพ้เกือบทุกวันแต่ถอยไม่ได้ลุกขึ้นสู้ทุกวัน..เพื่อพรุ่งนี้.
Bless your soft heart. This song gets me every time too. It's the raw, gutteral "keening" which is an type of yodelling for lack of a better word. It's the deepest expression of grief. So much suffering in this world. Let's be kind to one another.
I always think of this type of singing which seems particular to Irish singers as a banshee keen. Love her voice!
I don't know if it is officially the deepest expression of grief?
For example, I saw a lot of rather sad people in Beirut after the docks blew up; one thing they most definitely had in common, irrespective of the volume/value of their loss, was they did not start any heavy yodelling, and these Mutha F#ckas were pretty damn upset.
The scary thing is that this bloodshed happened in our lifetime. Northern Ireland was a complete mess and it's amazing how stable it became only on the last 20 years
Much of that is thanks to our membership of the EU. I doubt the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland would be where it is today if we hadn't had that mediating factor, helping to tear down the border between the two sides. It's an incredible shame that we're risking throwing all that work away just so some rich arseholes can keep more of their ill-gotten gains. It's an even bigger shame that the UK public has become so ignorant.

Loving a reactor that gets the songs message rather then just focusing on Dolores beautiful voice
"Zombie" is a protest song about the 1993 IRA Bombing in Warrington in memory of two young victims, Johnathan Ball and Tim Parry.
It’s not. It’s a protest about the troubles in general.
Fuck it. You're both right.
@@musefan12345 The Warrington bombing was what inspired her to write the song. The lyrics indeed, can be applied to all of the Troubles.

I think this thread perfectly demonstrates why the human race will never not war with each other 😂
You’re literally having a row about a song written about people being divided 🙄
I hurt when I remember Delores is gone.
RIP 😭
Me too
I don't blame her for crying, this is is very emotional and another reason why it is a classic.
3:41 The song is about "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland where Protestants/The UDA (who want to remain part of the UK) and Catholics/The IRA (Who want to re-unite with Éire/Ireland) had been fighting for over a century. A lot of people there, who don't really ally with either side, were sick of all the violence, bombing, constant badgering from the UK army or IRA enforcers, this song is an expression of the futility of what's come before it, telling people to stop being mindless zombies, just continuing the hate and violence.
The situation is better now with a very tentative peace and power sharing in the Northern Ireland assembly.
If the catholics wanted to stay in Ireland and the protestant wanted to stay with UK they should just split. There's no reason why innocent people should have died.
@@raymondleavitt9491 they did split - that's what caused a lot of the trouble. Because wherever you draw the split, there will always be some people that get turned into a minority.
