They are from Ireland. This song is about a bombing by the IRA in the 90s. Unfortunately the lead singer passed away in 2018. Give the Bad Wolves cover a listen.
@namikejohnson The song is specifically about a bombing on March 20, 1993, during which two children were killed. The band was in that area when it happened and the news of the two boys' deaths struck Dolores hard, prompting her to write this song.
macker33 she’s referring to the Easter rebellion of 1916, when the British, with the tanks, put down an IRA rebellion in Northern Ireland. From Wikipedia: The Easter Rising (Irish: Éirí Amach na Cásca),[1] also known as the Easter Rebellion, was an armed insurrection in Ireland during Easter Week, April 1916. The Rising was launched by Irish republicans to end British rule in Ireland and establish an independent Irish Republic while the United Kingdom was fighting the First World War. It was the most significant uprising in Ireland since the rebellion of 1798 and the first armed action of the Irish revolutionary period. Sixteen of the Rising's leaders were executed in May 1916, but the insurrection, the nature of the executions, and subsequent political developments ultimately contributed to an increase in popular support for Irish independence.
that unusual voice technique she uses is from the irish, "keening." it's an exaggerated catch in the throat. the cut-and-paste definition sums it up perfectly. "Keening was a vocal ritual artform, performed at the wake or graveside in mourning of the dead. ... The word keening originates from the Gaelic caoineadh meaning 'crying'. The keening women (mnàthan-tuirim), paid respects to the deceased and expressed grief on behalf of the bereaved family."
the vocal break (the sharp break in the passaggio) in the chorus is the yodeling just to say, she let it break between chest register and head register/falsetto. The keening is in the verses
Bad Wolves covered this song. The Cranberries singer, Dolores, was supposed to record the song with them, but she passed away the day they were supposed to record. They went forward with the song an made a video in her honor. You definitely need to check out their cover!
No no, she was not supposed to record the song *with them* , she OFFERED to sing on their cover before drinking too much an died right after. It's a voice message that she left to her former manager Dan Waite (the voice message released by TMZ is on youtube). But, at first, she was in London for a meeting with her label and a recording session for her New Wave side project called D.A.R.K.
These are the scenes of my youth - I grew up and still live in N. Ireland. The army was everywhere, machine guns were a non-remarkable thing cos they were an every day sight. Our so-called 'peace' is still very fragile. Thank you for reacting to this, and R.I.P. Delores for giving us this song💔....it is part of our history and 'The Troubles'. It's message is overwhelming powerful. (PS Eminem sampled the chorus on his Revival track "In You Head")
This was inspired by the IRA bombing in Warrington, Cheshire, England on March 20, 1993. Two children, Jonathan Ball and Tim Parry, were killed. The IRA (Irish Republican Army) is a militant group that was determined to remove British troops from Northern Ireland. Dolores was one of a kind, react to Bad Wolves singing Zombie but please read the information at the beginning and end of the video
The song is by an Irish Rockband, talking about there continuous struggle from the Independence they wanted form the British and their Irish Revolution.
Her vocals are Celtic. My moms family is from Ireland and dad's is from the Scottish highlands. This song means a lot to us. We lost family to the IRA. The cover by Bad Wolves is just as amazing and has an important meaning to it I will not ruin for you but you will absolutely love it. You haven't I do the video though. Thank you Phoebe. Your family is proud of you. Phoebe and I can do the Celtic vocals and it is not easy at all lol.
As a young teenager in the 90's I couldn't stop listening to this legendary song and I cried for the dead children. when Dolores died in 2018 my heart broke in half...
My high school years right here, The Cranberries and Garbage were big acts in the mid 90's. The Cranberries had several songs like Linger, Dreams, Ode to my Family, Promises, and When You're Gone.
When they released the cover, it was after Dolores death the day she was supposed to join them in the studio to do the song together. They released the song afterwards anyways, and donated the revenues from the song to her kid(s) in honnor of her memory
3:03 is so many people's reaction on youtube videos I've watched reacting to this song 😂 I had sort of similar reaction, I felt I probably would recognise something from the song as I'm English (I know they're Irish but that's a lot closer, both from British Isles) and I'm mid-30's so more chance of hearing it from somewhere in all the years it's been since it came out (although thought it was a few years later than 1994). Like you I recognised the chorus, I vaguely heard it a lot because I knew what the chorus would be when it got to the pre-chorus, but didn't know the other parts because I never sat and listened to the whole thing until recently. I’m glad I did eventually because it's brilliant from start to finish, can't listen to it enough at the moment.
No lie I heard this song as a sample for Eminem's song, In Your Head on his album Revival. I knew it was a sample of something so I looked up and found the real song and I loved it. Literally the month after I heard this song was when I heard Dolores, the lead singer of the Cranberries had passed away. Very unfortunate. In tribute to her, another band called Bad Wolves covered this song and it is a magnificent cover. Just amazing, but the original is just as amazing in it's own right as well.
I got to meet members of the band with my daughter in Atlanta when they toured to support the album after this one. She was a tiny, little waif, but she was disarmingly lovely. Hypnotic eyes, beautiful smile...I was so sad when I heard she had passed away.
I was able to see them on their Zombie tour in 1994. She is/was phenomenal. This song was about The Troubles which were going on in Northern Ireland at the time. Such an amazing woman. ❤
Poor lass, she spent a her last day with her family they later said she was the happiest they had seen her for years, she then went back to her hotel room alone in London ,ran a hot bubble bath and drank her self to death and drowned, she felt no pain. RIP beautiful lady.
The quick answer is dont be a Zombie and kill for someone else's agenda. And yes... Delores had one of the most powerful voices in music. She was called home but her legend will live forever.
You should also check out Bad Wolves version! Delores O'Riordan, the singer for the Cranberries was supposed to reprise her amazing vocals on their cover, but unfortunately, she passed away the day she was to record! Bad Wolves did an amazing job and paid homage to this video!
She had a great voice and knew how to use it. Sadly, poor Delores is no longer with us. "Eternal rest give to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen."
Delores O'Riordan battled addiction off and on for years. A few years before her death, revealed that she was sexually abused from the age of 8 to 12 by a family friend, something that haunted her throughout her life.
This song is from the 90s and it is an anti-war song that found Delores O’Riordan raging against the violence caused by the conflict in Northern Ireland, which was making the news headlines on what seemed like a weekly basis.
Back in the late 80’s and early 90’s I was in the Navy and Ireland was off limits to service personnel because of the violence in Northern Ireland. The song is about the “Troubles” in Ireland between Protestants and Catholics. And it’s specifically about three kids who got killed in an IRA bombing. Also it’s about not caring because it doesn’t personally affect you. Bad things happen but we tend to brush it aside if it didn’t happen to us.
What a perfect time to discover this song. There is so much apathy and silence in our world...if it doesn't impact people directly, they pretend they dont see it, they are zombies. We are all connected, and the time for apathy and silence is long gone.
They are from Ireland, u can react to "when you're gone, ode to my family", the vocalist has drown in a bath due to alcohol addiction, whats more she had some illness, simillar to Axl Rose's from GnR
Dolores O’Riordan one of the great voices ever! The Cranberries were a highly underrated band from the 90s! Zombie was written about the Protestant/Catholic war in Norther Ireland!
Thanks Billy. This song means a lot to my family. We are from Ireland and have lost family member to the troubles with those people. It's so sad that those little boys were killed. It hurts my heart. My mom and I can do that singing style she does. It's not easy. I loved it when my mom would do it so I had to learn lol.
I'll never forget this song. Had a private during Basic training that got caught with this cassette tape and had to stand at attention and sing this song everytime a Drilll Sargent entered the room. 🤣
I have been binge watching reactions to this song and video by the Cranberries. Your reaction is one of the best I have seen. You didn't know the history of the conflict in Northern Ireland and the bombing that killed 2 children in England, but you paid attention to the song and video. You paused the video to read the graffiti. You paid attention to how Delores used her voice to convey emotion. You paid attention to the symbolism even if you didn't understand exactly what it all meant. You didn't get hyper emotional. From the get go you listened to the bass lines and looked at the bleak images and surmised correctly, "This is deep." What would have been perfect is if after your initial reaction, you would have pulled up a quick search to find out the year of the video and just get a quick sense of the meaning of the song. But already you did way more in your video than countless others. I hope you continue to reflect about the song. The Cranberries wrote this song about something terrible that happened where they live. The truth is this song is universal. Everywhere in the world, including the United States, children are the collateral damage of horrific conflicts. Sometimes is brought on by tribal feuds or tyrannical governments. Sometimes it's the insane gang warfare. Whatever is causing the violence, Delore's vocals are the best tribute to the millions of mothers, father and families who suffer in anguish needlessly. Anyway, you gave a wonderful and intelligent response. Thank you.
Our boy's in N.I. bro. The Falls Road not a nice place. Been there, signed the T Shirt. Hard place for our boy's. Also, she "was" a fantastic singer. Such a loss for a great lass. But what a song
This a tribute song to 3 kids killed in a bombing during the last days of a 30 year Civil War in Northern Ireland. Proceeds went to the families of the children killed in that bombing
Love The Cranberries!!!! Child of the 90s here Think if you give a listen to “Linger” & “Dreams” you might recognize them more Even though this was a very popular song ... these other two song were the more popular.. were used and are still used in many Movies & TV shows 🥰
Why did I always think they were from Northern Ireland? They're from Limerick, just a stones throw away from where I live, but this is Ireland, everywhere is a stones throw away from everywhere!!
Literally just came here from the Bad Wolves cover you reacted to, and you said "Have I reacted to this before" and then I come here and you say "Have I heard this before". Apparently you have heard this song more times than you know. Lol
I know this reaction is from nearly two years ago lol, but this is really important pertaining to the subject matter: During a period known as 'the Troubles', an ethnonationalist conflict in Northern Ireland from the 1960s until 1998, more than 3,500 people died and tens of thousands were injured in the more than three decades of the complex and often brutal conflict. The IRA, which was devoted both to removing British forces from Northern Ireland and to unifying Ireland, killed almost 2,000 people during this time. During this time, over 10,000 bomb attacks were perpetrated in Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Great Britain, in an armed conflict fought between the Provisional IRA, the Ulster loyalist paramilitaries, and the British security forces. This song 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, northwest England, when two devices hidden in litter bins were detonated. Ball died at the scene of the bombing as a result of his shrapnel-inflicted injuries and, five days later, Parry lost his life as a result of head injuries. 56 others were injured, some seriously. Parry died in his father's arms in Liverpool's Walton hospital. The two boys had gone shopping to buy Mother's Day cards on one of the town's busiest shopping streets that day.

Because the IRA have a lot of tanks.
I think what you are talking about sparked the song alright.
Yeah. Her passing made me cry. Poor lass.
@@macker33 The IRA had no tank, but the UK did. The song addresses the whole stupid conflict as it takes two to tango.
macker33 she’s referring to the Easter rebellion of 1916, when the British, with the tanks, put down an IRA rebellion in Northern Ireland.

RIP Dolores, a queen of rock for eternity💕💕💕💕
Damn shes dead? I was very young when i heard this song
Underrated AF
RIP Dolores.. Awesome song. RIP all those innocents during the Troubles.
that unusual voice technique she uses is from the irish, "keening." it's an exaggerated catch in the throat. the cut-and-paste definition sums it up perfectly.
"Keening was a vocal ritual artform, performed at the wake or graveside in mourning of the dead. ... The word keening originates from the Gaelic caoineadh meaning 'crying'. The keening women (mnàthan-tuirim), paid respects to the deceased and expressed grief on behalf of the bereaved family."

I learned something new
Sinead O'Connor uses keening as well, it's a haunting sound.
Bad Wolves covered this song. The Cranberries singer, Dolores, was supposed to record the song with them, but she passed away the day they were supposed to record. They went forward with the song an made a video in her honor. You definitely need to check out their cover!
Oh and this song was originally about the Civil wars and violence in Ireland.
Agree 100% an amazing cover
Yes
Now that you have heard the original....pleeeease do the cover by Bad Wolves : )
No no, she was not supposed to record the song *with them* , she OFFERED to sing on their cover before drinking too much an died right after.

I agree I don't think Billy got the concept of this video.
I think the Nickelback music video for If everyone cared has a clip about this incident and the response towards the end of the video
@@toniking6159 I dont know how he could miss the IRA painted on wall where he even stopped the video
@@DuBstep115 yea i know. Sad
I think he should do it again. And really listen to the song. Isn't that the whole point of a reaction video.
I love that you, and more American people are also interested in Europe and it's history
Dolores O’Riordan, another voice taken too soon. May she rest in everlasting peace.
One of the strongest voices of a whole generation, vocally and emotionally.
The song is by an Irish Rockband, talking about there continuous struggle from the Independence they wanted form the British and their Irish Revolution.
They were from Ireland, singing about the troubles, and praying for peace. You probably heard Bad Wolves' cover
I think just saying "troubles" would be understatement......
@@madzec I used the same term that the Irish use.
@@rodneymcintire739 yup since thats what its known as and has always been lol
ode to my family. my fav cranberies song.
RIP Dolores O'Riordan….. one of the most recognized voices of all time.
You are the Billy who binges!
RIP!! Dolores!! She passed in January 2018. Amazing sing!!
Her vocals are Celtic. My moms family is from Ireland and dad's is from the Scottish highlands. This song means a lot to us. We lost family to the IRA.

They're from Irland, but the vocalist unfortenatly past away. They have some amazing songs!
She unfortunately took her own life
Ire
This song was huge when it was Released in the 90's.
If you want another by the Cranberries "Dreams".
YAAAAASSSS💯💯
They're irish, its about the IRA bombing in the 90s
@EriolTolkien yeah but this is about what happened to the two specific children
Specifically the Warrington bombing.
@EriolTolkien The bombings sadly go way before that moment
Two little boys were killed by bombs it's called War RIP
I love this song! Bad Wolves did an amazing cover of it!
I thought maybe he heard that version when he recognized the chorus but he hasnt watched it for youtube so idk
I love the fact they donated the profits to her family!
Definitely react to that one!

“Linger” and “ode to my family” are great too!
Just another AMAZING song from the 90s. So blessed to grew up in the 90s so many great songs from that time.
Long standing irish conflict
The Cranberries was one of my favorite bands back in the nineties... Check out their song "Odd to my family" it has a totally different vibe.
I was able to see them on their Zombie tour in 1994. She is/was phenomenal. This song was about The Troubles which were going on in Northern Ireland at the time. Such an amazing woman. ❤
They’re an Irish band
Poor lass, she spent a her last day with her family they later said she was the happiest they had seen her for years, she then went back to her hotel room alone in London ,ran a hot bubble bath and drank her self to death and drowned, she felt no pain. RIP beautiful lady.

They are a fantastic Irish band from the 90's. This song is about a bombing and the IRA. Please do more from this album.
Delores O'Riordan battled addiction off and on for years. A few years before her death, revealed that she was sexually abused from the age of 8 to 12 by a family friend, something that haunted her throughout her life.
I'm 56 and I remember the troubles, as it was called, in Ireland. There were car bombings, shootings. Very interesting time.
Interesting! Really??
I wouldn't describe it as interesting.. It was terrifying
Ronnie Dunn-Cost Of Living| You will not be disappointed with this song, hits home especially with past military experiences
I just listen best of cranberries while at work. Always loved them. RIP Dolores O'Riordan we'll always miss you 😥💔

This song ages very well. It's as great today as when I first heard it.
What a perfect time to discover this song. There is so much apathy and silence in our world...if it doesn't impact people directly, they pretend they dont see it, they are zombies. We are all connected, and the time for apathy and silence is long gone.
It got a ton of radio play back in the day. That's probably why you recognize it.
I would request listening to the Bad Wolves cover, as it carries the same message, but brings it to the modern age.
RIP Dolores such a beautiful soul lost to soon
They are from Ireland, u can react to "when you're gone, ode to my family", the vocalist has drown in a bath due to alcohol addiction, whats more she had some illness, simillar to Axl Rose's from GnR
I would be really surprised if you hadn't heard this song before. It was one of the bigger songs in the 90's rock/grunge era.
Linger and Dreams were 2 big hits for them. RIP Dolores.
RIP Dolores! One of a kind voice. Very emotional, strong performance. One of the best 90s songs. Also a strong message
Her "yodeling" is an Irish grief call.
Dolores O’Riordan one of the great voices ever! The Cranberries were a highly underrated band from the 90s! Zombie was written about the Protestant/Catholic war in Norther Ireland!
Ireland!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it's called 'keening.' Most pro voice coaches try to train that out of a singer's voice. God bless Dolores.
The Fray "How to save a life?" next?
The Cranberries are amazing. Check out Ode to my Family, Animal Instinct, and When You're Gone
My favorite group in the 90's 😢😢😢
So many memories. Love you Dolores 💚🎶
"Where'd I hear this before?"
Were you alive in the '90's? ;)
Gives me the chills every time.
I am totally dating myself when I know this in the "Clueless" and "You've Got Mail" movie soundtracks.
Thanks Billy. This song means a lot to my family. We are from Ireland and have lost family member to the troubles with those people. It's so sad that those little boys were killed. It hurts my heart.
My mom and I can do that singing style she does. It's not easy. I loved it when my mom would do it so I had to learn lol.
So sorry for your loss.

They are from Belfast, Northern Ireland. The lead singer died a couple of years back.
Amazing how songs of injustice are coming to light. This damn story has been told in a different form for too damn long.
That song has a deep emotional vibe if u read abt it u will feel the type of way but yeah this is my favorite song from her
Our boy's in N.I. bro. The Falls Road not a nice place. Been there, signed the T Shirt. Hard place for our boy's. Also, she "was" a fantastic singer. Such a loss for a great lass. But what a song

This a tribute song to 3 kids killed in a bombing during the last days of a 30 year Civil War in Northern Ireland. Proceeds went to the families of the children killed in that bombing
Love The Cranberries!!!! Child of the 90s here
Think if you give a listen to “Linger” & “Dreams” you might recognize them more
Even though this was a very popular song ... these other two song were the more popular.. were used and are still used in many Movies & TV shows 🥰
From ireland, song about the ear of the ''troubles''' U2 made several songs about the troubles.
Best band ever
They are from Ireland, and the song is about the IRA, love this tune, you wanna react to their song Linger, that’s another amazing song
Why did I always think they were from Northern Ireland? They're from Limerick, just a stones throw away from where I live, but this is Ireland, everywhere is a stones throw away from everywhere!!
My brother's favorite band. 🧡
That 1 dislike must Be a Brain Dead Zombie
I wish more Americans knew about The Troubles. An important piece world history is my opinion.
It is a great pick, thank you for the reaction. Liked and a subscriber. keep up the good work.
Rip Delores. Such an angelic voice
I love them. She recently passed away. It's an absolute shame.
If you see the Derry girls on Netflix it’s based in the same time and shows a lot of what it was like between catholic and Protestant war
This group was a favorite of one of my best friends, who ended her own life. She died much too soon, just like the lead singer of this group.
I've heard this song millions of time but have never seen the video!!
Check out "Linger" and "Ode to my family". Those are two other great songs by them. Her voice was epic!! RIP DOLORES!!
Literally just came here from the Bad Wolves cover you reacted to, and you said "Have I reacted to this before" and then I come here and you say "Have I heard this before". Apparently you have heard this song more times than you know. Lol
She was supposed to record a heavier version with bad wolf, but died the day they were supposed to record.
I know this reaction is from nearly two years ago lol, but this is really important pertaining to the subject matter:
During a period known as 'the Troubles', an ethnonationalist conflict in Northern Ireland from the 1960s until 1998, more than 3,500 people died and tens of thousands were injured in the more than three decades of the complex and often brutal conflict. The IRA, which was devoted both to removing British forces from Northern Ireland and to unifying Ireland, killed almost 2,000 people during this time. During this time, over 10,000 bomb attacks were perpetrated in Northern Ireland, the Republic of Ireland and Great Britain, in an armed conflict fought between the Provisional IRA, the Ulster loyalist paramilitaries, and the British security forces.
This song 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, northwest England, when two devices hidden in litter bins were detonated. Ball died at the scene of the bombing as a result of his shrapnel-inflicted injuries and, five days later, Parry lost his life as a result of head injuries. 56 others were injured, some seriously. Parry died in his father's arms in Liverpool's Walton hospital. The two boys had gone shopping to buy Mother's Day cards on one of the town's busiest shopping streets that day.
love this song, and this band.
Leo Moracchioli at Frog Leap Studios also did a cover of this song.
