    Thank you for reacting to this song ! Dolores wrote this song after my home town in England was hit by 3 bombs ! The first one failed and 2 terrorists were arrested and when the UK courts system refused to release them they set 2 more bombs in our town centre !
    I was 14 at the time, when they placed the bombs on a highstreet which gets packed, especially on the day before Mothers day where families went shopping to buy Mothers their cards and gifts..
    When the first bomb went off it sent all those still able to run straight into the second bomb, killing 2 children and injuring countless others myself included !!
    This song is held in the hearts of all that remember this day.. A day which still gives me nightmares both asleep and awake..
    Again thank you for your reaction to this and RIP to Dolores, the people of Warrington will always keep you in their hearts ❤

    Thanks for your reaction. Delores O'Riordan from The Cranberries was suppose to reprise her vocals in a cover of this song with Bad Wolves in 2018 but died the day they were supposed to record it together. I would highly recommend that you react to the Bad Wolves "Zombie" cover and tribute to Delores while this one is fresh in your mind- it is a stunning tribute and cover!

It was what we were seeing in the news. I get this song because I lived in England during the troubles and enough was enough- what can I say other than history just keeps repeating itself.

    This is certainly one of the most powerful songs ever recorded, and the music video elevates it further.
    While the subject of the song is specific to the Irish experience, the imagery, pain and overall message are universal and can be adapted to other situations.
    Adding the concept of the “zombie” to describe people who could make a difference but don’t just adds another layer.

    She wrote this song after the IRA (Irish Republican Army) who would set off bombs everywhere laid bombs in an English shopping centre in Warrington killing two small boy,and maiming others. British soldiers had to be called into Ireland to try to keep the peace between the Catholics and Protestants, because the Catholics wanted Northern Ireland to be completely independent to Britain, but the Protestants did not. As in the song this antagonism had been going on for a very long time. And had started to culminate in the bombings of innocent people. So Delores wrote this song, with the Keening in her voice (the traditional wailing sound at funerals). Although many have covered this song, none bring in the passion felt with this.The boys were Tim Parry and Johnathan Ball, aged three and twelve. 54 people were injured (some badly) this caused widespread public anger. Shortly after the bombings, a group called "Peace '93" was set up in Dublin. The main organiser was Susan McHugh, a Dublin housewife and mother. The IRA were responsible for many bombs laid in a very cowardly manner to kill and maim innocent people of all kinds.

    Another great reaction from you -- as if that wasn't to be expected.... Bottomline, a song about the absolute uselessness of violence. Everything else has already been said by yourself and by those who already commented.
    BTW, the trauma you mentioned is even inherited, sometimes not only to the next generation, but to several generations to come... By causing trauma over and over again, we are permanently ruining our own future and of those that come after us. Some glimmers of hope -- going by the name Angelina Jordan, for example -- are working against it, but it's a Sisyphean task.
    So sad that Dolores O'Riordan is no longer with us.
    All best from Germany

      It was a protest song against the IRA bombings…. British soldiers were not randomly shooting young boys. This was against the IRA laying bombs to just Kill innocent victims. Two young boys were killed with other innocent victims of these bombs laid by them IN A SHOPPING CENTRE. They were at this time laying bombs in lots of places.

      Well Daniel I think you’ve been given the wrong information, That’s not the meaning at all,it was written about an IRA bombing in Warrington,England that killed two schoolchildren….here’s what Delores said about why she wrote the song. “There were a lot of bombs going off in London and I remember this one time a child was killed when a bomb was put in a rubbish bin -- that's why there's that line in the song, 'A child is slowly taken,'" O'Riordan told Songwriting Magazine. "We were on a tour bus and I was near the location where it happened, so it really struck me hard - I was quite young, but I remember being devastated about the innocent children being pulled into that kind of thing. So I suppose that's why I was saying, 'It's not me' - that even though I'm Irish it wasn't me, I didn't do it. Because being Irish, it was quite hard, especially in the UK when there was so much tension."
      She told Vox magazine in 1994 that the song was written in part as a mechanism to grapple with her identity as an Irish citizen that did not support the actions of the IRA.
      "The IRA are not me. I'm not the IRA. The Cranberries are not the IRA. My family are not. ... When it says in the song, 'It's not me, it's not my family,' that's what I'm saying. It's not Ireland".
