@Penderyn So the Scottish immigration into Ireland didn't happen? - I'm by no means a flag waver for any of the sectarian tribes that have waxed & waned in Ireland over the centures , but just wondering are you conflating England with Britain? - BTW long may the peace continue in N Ireland & lets leave Religion & Nationalism in the dustbin of history
The song was written in response to the death of Johnathan Ball, aged 3, and Tim Parry, aged 12, both of whom had been killed in the Warrington bombings, when two IRA improvised explosive devices hidden in litter bins were detonated in Warrington, England.
@@rickmccann1018 your wrong in a interview she explained what the song was about yes its related to the troubles but it was the two kids that made her write the song and she was in the uk at that time might help if you get your facts right
Unfortunately my father won’t know any song in the rock genre until I show it to him for his first time ever hearing it. He’s still stuck on jazz bands’ standards from the 1920s-1930s.
I went to Belfast in 2016 and did the Black Cab tour (led by former fighters, from both the Loyalist and Catholic sides), and our driver (a Catholic) played this song and talked about how important it was to everyone in the conflict. Delores was saying: "Stop and see how *you've* become a zombie. War has made you a hateful zombie." Hearing it that day, in that city... Let's just say that moving is too weak of a word. Powerful comes closer, but... I'll never hear the song the same again.
I have lived in Belfast all my life and i can tell you that the IRA were pure evil , they did not care about killing children sometimes bragged about it . They have changed their tone tone lately because they know it will benefit them to brown nose the British rather than bomb to secure their goals but evilness is still happening to this day just not with bombs .Dont be fooled
Classic song with a POWERFUL message. Rest in peace, Dolores O'Riordan. You should definitely check out both the Bad Wolves and Leo Moracchioli covers of this masterpiece of music.
One of the most powerful songs of all time, one of the most emotive videos of all time. Glad you reviewed it in a sensitive way. Cos if you don't think about the lyrics, it's a stomping song too, and too many don't get the reason for writing it. Thanks guys
the heavy metal band Bad Wolves remade this song...Dolores liked it so much, she went to London to record her vocals for the cover. Unfortunately, before she could make it to the studio, she was found dead in her London hotel room. Bad Wolves said they planned to donate all the proceeds from the song to Dolores's three children.
Appreciations to you two for sharing this incredible piece. It is truly an impressive song & so grateful for it. The reasons & the why(s) for this to be created is overwhelming, but so very real. The footage on the streets is true footage. It makes a difference when that is done. What a beautiful creation. Thank you again...
I am significantly older than the two of you and have loved music from childhood. I have loved everything from Sinatra to Motorhead. I can honestly say that, musically speaking, the death of Dolores O'Riordan hit me harder by far than any other musician. Thanks for doing this reaction!!
I was devastated. Truly. I discovered Dolores and the Cranberries when I was 13 in the late 90s and pretty much grew up with their music. Such a superb voice and a fantastic songwriter. She wrote from her heart, there's nothing fake or phony about this music.
As a child of the 80s, a young and growing adult in the 90s, I don’t think I properly appreciated how good so much of the music was then. I mean, I knew it was good, we all did, but we didn’t realize how quickly “popular” music would go downhill. This music made us better people. I wish that was still the case for younger generations now.
Important to remember that the song was written in response to an IRA bomb in Warrington in England that killed a 2 year old and a teenager. It targets ALL the violence from both the UK government, the Unionist terrorists and the Republican terrorists. That it came from an Irish catholic and nationalist was really powerful. The reaction to Warrington, including this song, is seen as contributing to the IRA ceasefire that helped pave the way to the Good Friday Agreement.
Maybe but all bands on any major label were (not now for reasons I won't go into) I l l u m I n a t I controlled - you sign the contract you sign your soul away.
My heart cries for this song.Coming from Ireland when we know the history and atrocities committed in Northern Ireland .This song is very sad, beautiful and means HOPE to me ,R.I.P Dolores.These are the scenes of my youth The army was everywhere, machine guns were a non-remarkable thing cos they were an every day sight. Bombs & bomb scares were so common that they became almost 'normal'......our so-called 'peace' is still very fragile. Thank you for reacting to this, and R.I.P. Dolores for giving us this song....it is part of our history and 'The Troubles'. It's message is overwhelming powerful.
Legend has it that the record company was so against releasing this song as a single that they offered Dolores a $1M check to stop her going ahead with it (as this was one of the Cranberries tracks she was the sole writer of). She tore the check up.
A few years ago, I was in Ireland for a couple of weeks and took a day bus trip up to Belfast. If you ever get the chance to see it, I'd recommend it. Take the Black Cab tour of the city. They will bring you to both the Protestant and Catholic neighborhoods to see the murals on the walls and then to the peace wall dividing the city in half.
This song always makes me think of the day in the early 90s, when the college in Chester (North West, UK) I went to, was evacuated because of a bomb threat. Really brought it home that everybody in the UK was truly in danger.
imagine living that life every day of your life, bomb threats daily, check your car underneath before driving, you can only live and go to school in certain areas , you cannot work in certain areas or your life is in threat, police and army checkpoints everywhere, military helicopters hovering above your homes at all hours of the morning keeping you awake, family members getting arrested by army not the police and tortured for information and most of the time they had no connection to any groups, internment of men all across the country because they fitted a profile of who might be a terrorist or freedom fighter, again the majority were innocent and locked up with no trial for years. Yes you were probably scared for the time you were at school and there was a bomb threat, but you went about your life like normal people after that, we never got that option here in the north of Ireland. Even though there is a sort of peace now , intimidation remains from one side to the other, there can be no winner here unfortunately. i just pray it never goes back to those days. From Derry
RIP Tim Parry and Jonathan Ball. Murdered by the IRA. Warrington 1993 . Great that this song pays tribute to these boys. May their murderers rot in hell.
What a great reaction Travis & Suzy, the video is so good & well made, but to me the red background brings everything to life, RIP Dolores, it is the Keening that brings out the "crack" in her voice.
Growing up, my dad played golf with many people from around the world(lots of them were from England or Ireland). On Saturday nights we would go to many venues or peoples places and socialise. One day before school, mum was crying while reading the paper. She described how some children had been taken, because of a disagreement, between a couple of nations. A few months later this song came out, and not once did she complain when I played it. Normally, she hated music I listened too.
Yo bud it was between 2 nations, Ireland and England. Where the Irish were trying to end the oppression of over 800 years of "war" from the English. Thankfully it's calmed down "mostly" still a bit of trouble around the 11th and 12th of July.
I've listened to this song for over 2 decades and still have the same question enter my mind. How can someone have both the voice of a scorned witch and a divine messenger? Answer: Dolores O'Riordan.
even in scotland, the irish war was everpresent. delores made this song that pretty much put the ira to bed. beyond a powerful track, it changed the course of history. now she's teaching angels how to sing. no joke
Truly an amazing track and video , if you haven't reacted to the Bad Wolves cover of Zombie , it's an absolute must , again an amazing cover but the video as a tribute is quite simply mind blowing
One of the best songs ever made! RIP Dolores. And not just a child used as a metaphor, it was written in response to children being blown to bits by an IRA bomb in England. Not taking sides in that btw just saying.
Samuel Bauer directed the video; it’s frustrating that he gets zero credit. His vision, with Dolores’ lyrics and voice, combined with the passion of the band… it’s a musical unicorn. The bass, drums, treble guitar, and O’Riordan’s lead and haunting voice narrated a painful chapter of history that no simple recounting could.
The troubles are still simmering away. We are lucky to live during a time where the majority from both sides of the argument want no more fighting but to try and continue to find a peaceful answer despite the best efforts of those that want a return to violence!
My paternal grandmother's family emigrated from Armagh, Northern Ireland, in 1923. She hated the color black, because of the raids from the black and tan clad British soldiers. It was rumored that there is a cache of weapons in a relative's cellar from the Irish Civil War that they hid in a trunk for the voyage to the U.S. While they all survived the war, you could see how traumatized her and her siblings were decades after it had ended. She wanted to cross the border on a 1973 visit to Ireland, but the tour guide told her she was on her own if she went down the hill. She worked on losing her brogue once she got here because of the prejudice against Irish when they arrived here. This song just kills me every time I hear it, but I can't NOT listen to it. 💔🤘
Dolores is portraying St Joan of Arc, the patron saint of children. The children are portraying the flames that engulfed her as she was burned at the stake.
@@Mardenski100 I knew her. I know her brothers as well. She lived beside me. Most people don't realise, but she was a very funny girl with a wicked sense of humour, she was also shy, especially when she was younger, famously sang with her back to the audience in the Cranberries earlier days. She was also a devout Catholic and sang for the Pope. She loved hurling, our national sport in Ireland. Whenever her beloved Limerick win a big hurling match, her song Dreams is played and the Limerick crowd go wild. She also loved motorbikes and spent many hours with her brothers in the garage tinkering around with engines etc. A huge loss to everyone who knew her and also those who didn't, as her talent was undoubted and her music will live on. God bless her
A great song...at the moment the situation in Northern Ireland is apparently a little more tense after the DUP refuses to work with Sinn Fein in the NI Assembly...lets just hope and pray the troubles never start again.
El problema del cover de Bad Wolves es que, al cambiar parte de la letra de la canción, distorsiona totalmente el significado de ella. Un burdo intento por "modernizar" la canción más la total ignorancia de lo que significan las letras los llevó al descalabro artístico (más no comercial, ya que supieron hacer buen marketing con ello): - La canción original canta dos veces seguidas la frase "con sus bombas". Bad Wolves cambió una de las "bombas" por "drones". Con ello, demostraron no conocer absolutamente nada de la canción y su significado, ya que Dolores compuso y canto dos veces seguidas "con sus bombas" porque fueron dos las bombas que explotaron, cada una de las cuales mató a un niño, en el atentado del IRA en Warrington, acto que motivó a que Dolores escribiera la canción. - Tampoco los autores del cover demuestran mucho conocimiento del significado de la canción cuando cambian la frase original "es el mismo viejo tema desde 1916" por el año 2018. Dolores cita específicamente el año 1916 por una contundente razón: en 1916 se produjo en Irlanda el "Alzamiento de Pascua", origen del proceso que culminó en la Independencia de la mayor parte de Irlanda; pero que también marca el comienzo del conflicto por Irlanda del Norte, que el IRA y Gran Bretaña llevaron a una lucha extremadamente sangrienta. - Por último, aunque no relacionada con la canción misma: la famosa donación del dinero a los hijos de Dolores resulta irrisoria si se tiene en cuenta que Dolores era la mujer más rica de Irlanda. Sus hijos no necesitaban esa donación, pero como estrategia de marketing, funcionó perfecto. Hay que tener cuidado al cambiar las letras originales. Tienen un sentido, y cuando esas letras son cambiadas, pierden ese sentido. La ignorancia no es cool; es simple ignorancia.
Do you guys know the tragic true story behind this? The killing of two innocent boys Johnathan Ball 3 and Tim Parry 12 from an IRA bomb in March of 1993 during the decades long Troubles in Northern Ireland
So happy that you went out of your cave and heard one of the most famous song made in the 90's. Next time, react when you try ketchup for the first time fellow hardworkers
The break in her voice is called "Keening" a Celtic way of lamenting lost loved ones. Deloris was amazing, so badly missed
Wow a decent Leeds fan 😅
With a Dolores is more a combinanation of sean-nós and keening…
Marching on Together
RIP Deloris... a true legend.
Technically it is not keening, she is using a combination of styles including yodelling and sean nos
Thank God we've had 25 years of peace in Northern Ireland as of good Friday this year thanks in part to this song

@penderyn8794fyi Britain (not England) would have totally pulled out in 1916, if it wasn't for the Catholics and Protestants killing each other...
If you had a William Wallace you could of had 100+ years of peace
Good luck with the immigration.

My dad loves this song he was in the army and served 2 tours in Northern Ireland during the troubles it was a messed up time 😢
I’m so disappointed I never saw them live, get to your favourites whenever you can is the message 😢
So sad she is gone, an incredible artist

Bad Wolves cover of this is a must listen too
Great reaction . Loved watching you two sing along at times…great song
Brilliant track on lots of levels. The story is compelling and Dolores delivery is awesome. Love the sound of the drums and the guitar as well.
Drummer cordination is great and hard hits ( over sholder taken ) .
This song, Black Sabbath's "Warpigs" and Metallica's "One" are the strongest anti-war songs in the history of rock music.
Great reaction, this song always tears me up.
Its a song for freedom!!!!!
I love this song awesome song an band
RIP Tim Parry and Jonathan Ball. Murdered by the IRA. Warrington 1993 . Great that this song pays tribute to these boys. May their murderers rot in hell.
Great song for us.... 40 oldies 😂😂
Goldfinger Dolores R.I.P. with the keening in her voice.

I was an angsty teen when this came out. Hit a bit different than it does now.
It makes your eyes sweat just a wee bit also.
Love them..RIP Dolores
Its a song about PTSD. It does a great job of capturing the anger and turmoil.
It's the staccato drumbeats, made to sound like gunshots, that always get to me...
Throughout a song about two children who were blown to pieces Blue Hat smiles. Creep.
RIP Dolores ❤
It was huge in Australia.
Classic 🎶
All the outside footage was filmed during the conflict. The kids and the soldiers were all real people in the music video. Not actors
Delores O'Riordan was taken way to soon. She still had so much to offer this world. R.I.P Delores.
i break at "1916" everytime
RIP Delores ❤
It show the hard times in northen ireland.
Dolores is portraying St Joan of Arc, the patron saint of children. The children are portraying the flames that engulfed her as she was burned at the stake.
Thanks for that, I’ve watched the video countless times and I always wondered what the symbolism of that was about

the voice of Northern Ireland - will never be equalled in my opinion

RIP DOLORES O RIORDAN
Such a tragic loss, rates right there with Chris Cornell.
That was emotional.
The Troubles in Northern Ireland.
I prefer a live version of zombie. Dolores is great in concerts
The children and soldier scenes were real btw thats why song is so powerful that was the state along the border of ira and ulster forces in 1993
One of the songs of the nineties
im irish and from limerick where the band is from... this song makes me emotional... but guess what UKRAINE ARE DEALING WITH THIS. RIGHT NOW>
One of my abolsute favourite songs. I’ll never forget the stories my dad, a British soldier told me when he served in NI in the 70s.
It’s a good song by Cranberries but Frog Leap Studios did a awesome cover of this song as well which should be reacted to as well!
Das ist ein Sehr Starkes 💪🏻✊🏻 Und trauriges Lied 😭😞
So happy that you went out of your cave and heard one of the most famous song made in the 90's. Next time, react when you try ketchup for the first time fellow hardworkers
Loved the reaction. Such a powerful song. Bad Wolves did a pheonominal cover. Should definitely check it out
I concur
Absolutely
It’s a Greek tragedy. The chorus is in ‘black and white’.
