Understand the things I say Don't turn away from me 'Cause I spent half my life out there You wouldn't disagree D'you see me, d'you see Do you like me, do you like me standing there D'you notice, d'you know Do you see me, do you see me Does anyone care? Unhappiness, where's when I was young And we didn't give a damn 'Cause we were raised To see life as a fun and take it if we can My mother, my mother she'd hold me Did she hold me, when I was out there My father, my father, he liked me Oh he liked me, does anyone care? Understand what I've become It wasn't my design And people everywhere think Something better than I am But I miss you, I miss 'Cause I liked it, 'cause I liked it When I was out there D'you know this, d'you know You did not find me, you did not find Does anyone care? Unhappiness was when I was young And we didn't give a damn 'Cause we were raised To see life as fun and take it if we can My mother, my mother she'd hold me Did she hold me, when I was out there My father, my father, he liked me Oh he liked me, does anyone care? Does anyone care? Does anyone care? Does anyone care? Does anyone care? Does anyone care? Does anyone care? Does anyone care?
Decades after this song was written and it still hits hard. Beautiful transitioning between delicate falsetto and impassionate belting of her vocals. Sounds almost like yodeling, but in a contemporary context. The kicker is the simplicity of the lyrics, like; just thanking your parents even for an imperfect upbringing yet still yearning for their approval is so basic and unforced, which makes it feel honest and relatable. That line about her father just liking her, possibly because he fell short of loving her, is so painfully honest and hopeful at the same time, because despite this, she was still wondering if he still just likes her as an adult, and if he cared enough to see how she's grown into this person laying it out onstage, all of it delivered through stream of conscious narrative, making it sound deliberately juvenile, which was great because there was all of this underlying meaning behind it... It altogether really pulls you into an empathetic state when you hear it. Really appreciate her not going too abstract, unlike a lot of other artists who are so deep into the abstract that they sound like they are creating and selling an image as opposed to actually telling a story that comes from the heart. As a teenager listening to this when it came out there was no way for me to pinpoint why I liked this, but now as adult myself, I'm glad the algorithm recommended this to me many years later to finally get it I suppose. So sad that Delores is no longer around. For sure, that voice and vocal delivery was once in a lifetime.
What a talent. All those singers from those years - Natalie Merchent, Annie Lennox, Sarah MacLaughlin, Kate Bush, and Allison Morissette - all beautiful and heart-wrenching voices.
I was 7 years old when I first heard this. I couldn't understand everything, I just knew I liked it. I'm a nineties kid. I miss the quality of the song, the music, the lyrics, and the voice, especially the voice. It's so hard, so hard to find songs like this.
Delores is simply awesome. She gave me chills the first time I heard her on the radio. What a great unusual voice.This fine lady is the real deal.She still gives me chills and that warm feeling remembering back on my life. This song takes me back to the same place I was the first time I heard it.Driving through Burns Park in NLR Arkansas in my brand new Mustang GT with a new Kenwood stereo with 2 12 inch subwoofers and 800 watts of Kenwood .Man I miss those days of being younger.Thanks Delores!
It's amazing to go back and watch her perform this song throughout the years as her voice aged. Rest in peace to one of the best female vocalists to ever hit the stage. It takes a true artist like her to put her pain and hurt into words and then deliver them with such emotion that it allows us to feel, and deal with some of our own emotional pain for a few minutes. Hard to believe I was 15 when this was recorded. Time marches on.
This song has always given me chills. It gives me such an empty feeling inside... like what am I doing on this earth. Makes me think of the past. Makes me think that stuff at this moment arent as horrible as they could be.
thank God for a woman like her and her talent! Her songs are stil UNIC, filled with passion, making the listener 's emotion whirling ! Cranberries is one of those Bands whose work will survive the musicions, and in the future will echo their greatness! They are not (MAD)MASS Products, not one summer songs !
Losing you 8 months ago and today is the same. It was my youngster era when I was listening to Nirvana, Cranberries, Pearl Jam, Sound Garden, Sonic Youth, etc...yet it was the best time of music industry revolution. Love u Dolores.
Beautiful and so sad...look at the 90's music : so much talent and great songs and singers . It will never be so deep and heartbroken like it was in the 90's .
The band and Dolores' vocals were at their fullest. Notice how the crowd didn't quite know the song at the time... We could call it the dawn of a great hit. By far my favourite Cranberries' song.
i first heard this song when I was about 9 years old and as I didn't speak english at that time i just liked the melody.... When I understood the real meaning it made me cry, I was about 16... now I am 21 and I still cry when I hear it. It is a beautiful and sad song... and it kind the story of my life God I miss the cranberries
Her imperfectness in the voice makes it perfect for my ears. When i was a kid i used to hear cranberries a lot and yes i felt in love with the singer when i was 9 8)....she used to be a little raw diamond, not that beatiful but special in her way with a lot of charisma. Rock on Dolores and greetz from Germany
my glory days blessed by great musicians 90's we all know that years gone by but history lives forever.....life inspired by music is the precious one...
Una voce d'oro brava Dolores R. I. P. Amen dalla Sardegna Italia bravissima rimarrai nel mio cuore ciao ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😭😭😭😭🌼🌼🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👍👏👋👋💪💪🙏🌻🌼🌼🌷😭🌸🇬🇪🇬🇪🇬🇪❤️🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹🇬🇪🇮🇹🇬🇪🇬🇪🇮🇹❤️❤️🌷😭😭🙏🙏🙏🙏🤫
This video moved me to tears. Reminds me of my childhood, reminds me of the global situation. Provokes a hundred thoughts which all erupt at once in an intensely emotional eruption. The Cranberries- you are amazing.
I met a lad in Sydney in 2000, he told me he was a waiter at Dolores' wedding. She was really nice to the staff and gave them a huge tip afterwards. Just thought i'd share that with you!
awesome ! the best song ever ... when I was young I really didn't give a dam life was sweet. If I could only see my uncle's Alvin, leonard and Melvin, friend Warren,cousin Laverne and Mark. I would give anything this song makes you cry thus you cleanse.... Delores you are all that please give a concert in the US...I cry happy tears with this song..
1997 we meet again. Grew up with this song and many others. My only regret was not knowing the names of the songs back then. Come back my 6 year old self.
wow,what a nice voice you have guyzzzzzzzzzzzz.......i am your avid fans, and i love all your songs,most of it must be related to my life........stay making nice songs.
Understand the things I say
Don't turn away from me
'Cause I spent half my life out there
You wouldn't disagree
D'you see me, d'you see
Do you like me, do you like me standing there
D'you notice, d'you know
Do you see me, do you see me
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness, where's when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as a fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she'd hold me
Did she hold me, when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me
Oh he liked me, does anyone care?
Understand what I've become
It wasn't my design
And people everywhere think
Something better than I am
But I miss you, I miss
'Cause I liked it, 'cause I liked it
When I was out there
D'you know this, d'you know
You did not find me, you did not find
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness was when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she'd hold me
Did she hold me, when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me
Oh he liked me, does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Um estilo doce de canto
Song lyrics!! Thanks
😢😢😢
She was a great lyricist. Always meaningful and heartfelt lyrics with an excellent poetic edge.
Wsd😂
That voice just pierces through your soul and rips your heart out.
Yes it does!

How many emotions in this wonderful song... RIP dear Dolores, a part of my past fades away with you.
Her voice is gold...
She may be a Catholic freak but I still love her, her voice reminds me of my childhood. Listening to The cranberries is ALWAYS a pleasure.
I was 7 years old when I first heard this. I couldn't understand everything, I just knew I liked it. I'm a nineties kid. I miss the quality of the song, the music, the lyrics, and the voice, especially the voice. It's so hard, so hard to find songs like this.
stfu boomer it isnt
@@sittlerpierre2245 low life
There is no other voice like Dolores, along with her lyrics, it is one of a kind. Keep going back to enjoy it as much as you can.
i was 5, and all...
Delores is simply awesome. She gave me chills the first time I heard her on the radio.

One of the best bands in the world.
Their songs are way too beautiful, way too deep, way too eternal. :)
Its just one of those songs which grows on you and you just can't seem to get enough of it.
she rocked then, she rocks now, she rocks forever more cuz a voice like that will never die... "The Cranberries" rock band of my heart
Dolores is a one-of-a-kind super performer...every minute of your time watching her perform and listening to her sing is well spent!
It's amazing to go back and watch her perform this song throughout the years as her voice aged. Rest in peace to one of the best female vocalists to ever hit the stage. It takes a true artist like her to put her pain and hurt into words and then deliver them with such emotion that it allows us to feel, and deal with some of our own emotional pain for a few minutes. Hard to believe I was 15 when this was recorded. Time marches on.
So hard to think she's gone. Condolences to her family, fans & friends. A UNIQUE TALENT WHO WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN ♡
This Voice , sooo AMAZING !
The very beautiful Lady with very amazing voice.. RIP Dolores.. The world will never forget You..
one of the best female singers of all time!!!!
This song has always given me chills. It gives me such an empty feeling inside... like what am I doing on this earth. Makes me think of the past. Makes me think that stuff at this moment arent as horrible as they could be.

R.I.P. Dolores O’Riordon :-(
This video moved me to tears. Reminds me of my childhood, reminds me of the global situation. Provokes a hundred thoughts which all erupt at once in an intensely emotional eruption. The Cranberries- you are amazing.
She’s talking about her father abusing her, and you are so happy about the song. Listen again...
one of the best songs in their album -no need to argue, and of course,this is one of the best song in 90s
Wherever she is right now i wish she is resting and we have to be grateful for having her songs to listen Them 💗
beautiful voice and beautiful women ..what else? really good luck Dolores
mUITO LINDAAAAAAAAA
MEXE COM NOSSAS EMOÇÕES
From the dododo that voice just sends goosebumps through your soul . no voice like her
Has anyone ever sounded so amazing? NO
I met a lad in Sydney in 2000, he told me he was a waiter at Dolores' wedding. She was really nice to the staff and gave them a huge tip afterwards. Just thought i'd share that with you!
awesome ! the best song ever ... when I was young I really didn't give a dam life was sweet. If I could only see my uncle's Alvin, leonard and Melvin, friend Warren,cousin Laverne and Mark. I would give anything this song makes you cry thus you cleanse.... Delores you are all that please give a concert in the US...I cry happy tears with this song..
