Yes, you're right. From someone who grew up with Grunge and the revolution, the Cranberries were one of our favorites too. As well as James, his Laid song is legendary. And Collective Soul, Creamy Valour, Ugly Kid Joe, etc.
I was in Warrington, my home town with my own kids the day before the bombs went off killing Johnathan Bell and Tim Parry. Tim took 5 days to die, hence ‘child is slowly taken’. My kids were the same age as Tim and Johnathan. Here voice style is called ‘keening’ and is used at Irish funerals. Cranberries were touring England at the time and drove through Warrington shortly after. Dolores was incensed and driven to write this. RIP Johnathan, Tim and the wonderful Dolores.
Not sure how to express both my condolences, and my abject disgust around the way campaigns were ran. I'm Irish (Dublin), grew up seeing nearly nightly news about attacks perpetrated by both sides. The Warrington bombings was inexcusable, same for Guilford etc The counter would (obviously) be the Monaghan or Dublin bombings, or moreso the topic that U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday, references. :(
One of the greatest songs from one of the greatest bands. I strongly recommend to watch the original video. That explains more about what this song is all about.
They’re unbelievable! Saw them in concert in 1996 NYC. One of the best shows ever. Big fan. RIP Delores. You must watch the video for this even on your own. Loved your reaction. 1st time here. ✌️❤️
The whole concert is amazing. So glad we still have so many records of The Cranberries and Dolores out there so we can enjoy forever. RIP Dolores. Fergal on drums was the best drummer for Dolores' songs. He is an emotional drummer. Well done Mum! Once you get into Dolores' songs you get trapped into her life story. Plus, love the subtitles instead of interrupting!
Sabina I watched your reactions to several songs and you really put your heart and soul into what you do,you are a warm and beautiful person as well as being very pretty 😍 your reactions to sabaton moved me xx
I had tears everytime bad wolves did a cover of this to tribute to her death and proceeds went to her kids this band is awesome allot of passion keep rocking
Having known this song, it's backstory, and the official video for a long time, I used to describe what you say 'so focused and so calm' as fury. However, at the time of this particular performance, the ceasefire was finally holding and her fury had begun to be replaced by hope. True hope for a peaceful holiday season in Ireland for the first time in 30 years.
Great reaction - yes live music adds so much! The energy of the band, the audience - so much passion - so much meaning in the lyrics - a great combination.
Nice reaction! thank you! Liked n subscribed. pls. DO react TO "bang BANG (jessie J, ariana G. & nicki M. song)" 4th POWER (4th IMPACT) cover A filipino GIRL group ON x FACTOR uk 2015 1ST audition, IT'S 186 million VIEWS & no.1 MOST viewed ON x FACTOR history.
I have watched a bunch of reaction videos of this song, you are the first and only to mention the drummer. He SLAMS those drums! That is so needed in this song! Excellent job ma’am!
Loved your reaction to this song. It brings back many memories, and I see the youthful enthusiasm on your face as you revisit this iconic song. We all recall the time, people, and places when our feelings, regrets, and hopes were traced in our faces, and we believed the messages of music would never die. Thanks for the life you portray in your reaction!
Great song! it was written about an IRA bombing in Warrington,England that killed two schoolchildren….here’s what Delores the lead singer 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".
Same story as much of the Middle Eastern countries. Its not them. Its not the people in villages just surviving. Its not the folks in the cities. Its the extremists just like in Ireland with the IRA.
Excellent reaction to an awesome song! As others have suggested, you should really check out the official video - the contrast in the “feel” of the two performances is striking. This one feels upbeat & hopeful, while the other… well, you need to experience it. FYI - a long time ago, I met a young woman on a bus who was from Northern Ireland. Her stories of what it was like back then were an eye-opener. Hopefully things remain peaceful there - Dolores (RIP) deserves it.
Ireland has delivered some of the finest bands and artists…U2, Enya, Boomtown Rats, The Corrs and…The Cranberries. Sadly the premature death of Delores O’Riordan has seemingly resulted in the end of the band…how could you possibly replace Delores? Zombie is one of their best tracks…It’s a complete package of a song..driving instruments and a grungy, gloomy and furious vocal condemning the actions of the IRA..it’s powerful stuff. Dreams and linger are two other standout tracks. Great reaction Sabina..clearly the song was delivering the internet wow factor.
They are still producing great bands. I love the hard rock band The Answer and also a new young band called Dea Matrona. Check them out if you get a chance as their star looks to be on the rise, winning 2021 Northern Ireland Music Prize single of the year and a best new artists award. They've had their own Irish tour and opened for Van Morrison, Status Quo and Gerry Cinnamon and toured Europe with Eagles of Death Metal.
Thank you for taking on this tragic theme, at this difficult time in the Middle East and Eastern Europe. Dolores and the Cranberries tell a truth that is just never accepted in the travails of humanity - conflict is in your head. I know this song of course, but obviously I am more sensitized to it lately. So when it played as a background track via the Xbox at home, it really stuck in my head. I cannot place it now, was it a movie, was it a Netflix series, was it a game (Cyberpunk, Assassins Creed - the common ones)? Bard comes up with these, but I haven't watched them - does anyone have ideas? The Cranberries released the song "Zombie" in September 1994. It was the lead single from their second studio album, No Need to Argue. The song has been used recently in Army of the Dead (2021) Mission: Impossible (1996) Thunder Force (2021) The Next Karate Kid (1994) Boys On The Side (1995) Empire Records (1995) Charmed (1999)
Cranberries first 5 lps are almost perfect, with so many amazing powerful tunes! They also play so well live, that there's little sacrifice of the classic studio recordings. And Dolores was such a great STAR singer/songwriter/musician/vocalist!!! Thanks very much for the reaction Sabina's mom.
So glad you were introduced to The Cranberries by a live performance of their biggest hit song. If you love the live performances the best check out Linger from this concert aswell (Paris 1999 live) and Dreams at Woodstock 1994 Live by The Cranberries 😊
Great live performance of iconic song , Bad wolves were to release with her but sadly she left us before she could do it , but their version is fantastic tribute
Dolores! Love her. Truly a unique voice and talent, and so sad we lost her early. I recommend comparing this song now to the video version (it's good), but this live version is special. I also recommend checking out more of her. When You're Gone, Ode to My Family, Linger, Dreams. However, to also get her voice in an acoustic setting, maybe check out her cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Go Your Own Way." Special singer and one of the greatest voices in history.
Such a fantastic song, and it has what must be one of the greatest music videos of all time, so I would totally check that out sometime. Over a billion views last I saw. Wish I could remember when I first heard it ... a while back, lets say ;) RIP Delores, wish you were (still) here.
The Cranberries were an amazing band, RIP Dolores. Most if not all of their songs had a message often of hope in some way, they seem so chaotic yet totally in control at the same time, I wish I had seen them live
OK - admission, this is the 4th #reaction to Zombie I have watched in a row. I like your option Sabina, of no-interruptions with subtitled reactions - as I can soak up the soundtrack first, and look at comments later - and listen to your verbal reaction at the end. I often work to youtube background soundtracks, so this "listen first, talk later" works well for me. (Can you investigate getting the automatic transcript option to work, including your subtitles).
I had to see this. You are a favourite Dimash reactor. If this was your first exposure to Dolores. I was not going to miss this. Please listen to your Momma!
Zombie is One Of The Greatest and Most Popular Meaningful Songs in 2023 now that Dolores's message from this song lives on now more than ever in this day in age and life's circumstances and events Thanks to people like you and RUclips's Most Popular Growing Entity Reactions
Used to skip high school just to stay home and wait for this song - and THE MUSIC VIDEO, to come on MTV. No Spotify then, no internet and I had to go to the record store and being told the CD was sold out and had to wait weeks to get the album. Please watch the Bad Wolves cover which should have featured Dolores, but sadly she passed away just before the recording...
RIP Dolores 💖 this was one of two cover we did with our Band back in the 90th. If u havent watched the Video Clip, u realy should. The soldiers and Kids was real, Shows the meaning of the Song. Sadly the story of this song becomes real theese days again
I can't imagine the shock of having gotten Dolores to come to London to record a remake of Zombie with some new lyrical work by her, only to find out that the night before the studio session, Dolores mixed too much alcohol, and a warm bath and drowned. I mean, having such an amazing artist agree to sing with your band, and pass the night before...there had to be some feelings of guilt. Thoughts of 'if she hadn't come down to sing with us, she wouldn't have been alone in a hotel room, but back home with family, and might still be alive...' HAD to be a nightmare for Bad Wolves. Class act of them to not only record the cover, but dedicate ALL the proceeds from the song to Dolores' family. While I understand the feelings of the Cranberries members that felt it was too soon, at the same time it really gave the song attention that led to a LOT more money being earned for Dolores' family than might have otherwise been raised... She was really a loss to music, and to all her fans.
Such a loss and such a sad / angry song. This song makes me want to scream and cry and kick a pillow all at once. RIP Delores. You did well. Sabine, you need to do another Band-Maid. Something more current and written by them. Please?
Fun fact : put aside the first lead singer who only stayed for a few monthes when the band wasn't know outside their home town of Limerick, The Cranberries kept the same line-up for their entire existence : Noel and Mike Hogan (Guitar and Bass), Fergal lawler (Drums), Dolorès O' Riordan (Lead vocals ; RIP)
It has been claimed that this song was more effective than anything politicians ever did to end "the troubles" in Northern Ireland, as it distanced the ordinary decent and peaceful Irish population from the atrocities committed by the IRA. It is only fairly recently that litter bins have been replaced in British public spaces, after their removal during the time when the IRA were using them to hide nail bombs and the like. This was written after one such attack in Warrington,, where the bomb was placed near a shopping mall and a threat to the mall was telephoned in - causing the public to be evacuated directly into the area of the bomb. Even some units of the IRA were so sickened that they disowned the group that carried it out, and clearly, both Great Britain and Ireland were outraged - so this was Dolores O'Riordan's response to that. Well worth going through the lyrics. And I believe it - it was a MASSIVE hit in both Ireland and England and has had regular radio airplay ever since. In that way, it kept up the pressure on all sides to end the senseless fighting. I went over to Ulster on a visit not very long after this to finish qualifying on road circuit marshalling, ending with the NW200 (the fastest motorcycle road race in the world), before going on to the Isle of Man to marshal for the TT and Manx GP there (on the mountain circuit - 37.73 miles of the most challenging roads imaginable with races lasting up to 6 laps), and the fortification of police stations and regular patrols of armed police and army units was still present, and security was a constant concern in everyday life. This song, more than any other single act, changed all that. Because even though politicians had held talks for years, this put the pressure on and kept it there. It lasted and was repeated over and over, unlike any government statement or ministerial announcement. It just would not go away, and undermined any claim the terrorists had to be fighting "for Ireland". RIP Dolores💔 - you left us too soon, but your influence was international and huge, and there can be no better tribute or legacy.
Just found your channel (thanks to Eddie Van Halen). Two suggestions: Dire Straits, Sultans of Swing live at Alchemy And you owe it to yourself to try Boston. Every song on the first album had major radio rotation. And all but one of them was recorded in Tom Scholz's basement studio. He played every instrument except drums. He invented the Rockman to get the sounds he wanted - he was a design engineer at Polaroid at the time. Brad Delp's vocals are insane. You won't believe his range.
This song was certainly more profound than most. Her singing technique draws on Irish “keening”, a kind of lamentation for the dead, and the song was written shortly after another terrorist attack on the civil war in Northern Ireland that Brits so euphemistically call “the Troubles”.
Please give the cover of “Zombie” by “Bad Wolves” a watch, Dolores was supposed to appear on the track but sadly passed away the day of recording. They went ahead and did the cover, donating proceeds to her children.
Dolores ( R.I.P. ) spent much of her life crusading for the rights and lives of all children......this was her appeal for peace for them, especially during Ireland's "Troubles"
Love the Cranberries. A band I wish I saw in concert. Little off the subject but when you get a chance check out The Warning. They are a pure rock band 3 sisters out of Mexico.
This is a great live version, however I would suggest checking out the original music video which is very powerful. Right before her death Dolores was going to provide vocals on a metal cover of this song by the band Bad Wolves, they made the song and donated all proceeds to her children and the video of the song is a tribute to Dolores but you need to have seen the orginal video to get it.
Zombie is considered a protest song against the Northern Ireland conflict. DoloresO'Riordan RIP ( leadsinger) wrote the lyrics to the song during the band's 1993 tour of England in memory of two children (Jonathan Ball and Tim Parry) who were killed in an IRA bombing in Warrington on March 20, 1993.
One of the most iconic songs ever. RIP Dolores, you were stunning in every way!
Yes, you're right. From someone who grew up with Grunge and the revolution, the Cranberries were one of our favorites too. As well as James, his Laid song is legendary. And Collective Soul, Creamy Valour, Ugly Kid Joe, etc.
💚Dolores💚
She's a legend now and will never be forgotten 🙏
We lost a talented musician with a beautiful voice when she died. R.i.p Dolores, you are missed.
You folks heard the Cranberries song 'Stars'? I adore that song, in the video Dolores is shining like a star. A happy loud star. ☺
I was in Warrington, my home town with my own kids the day before the bombs went off killing Johnathan Bell and Tim Parry. Tim took 5 days to die, hence ‘child is slowly taken’. My kids were the same age as Tim and Johnathan.
Here voice style is called ‘keening’ and is used at Irish funerals. Cranberries were touring England at the time and drove through Warrington shortly after. Dolores was incensed and driven to write this.
RIP Johnathan, Tim and the wonderful Dolores.
Not sure how to express both my condolences, and my abject disgust around the way campaigns were ran. I'm Irish (Dublin), grew up seeing nearly nightly news about attacks perpetrated by both sides. The Warrington bombings was inexcusable, same for Guilford etc
The counter would (obviously) be the Monaghan or Dublin bombings, or moreso the topic that U2 - Sunday Bloody Sunday, references.

Thanks for sharing all this... it helps to understand better their songs... always discovering something new in their music.
first time I see a reactor using written text to express their thoughts instead of pausing and I LOVE it! Great reaction, stay awesome
Thanks! ❤️🙏🏻
One of the greatest songs from one of the greatest bands.
I strongly recommend to watch the original video. That explains more about what this song is all about.
Thanks! Need to see that!
@@sabina1118 Strongly agree! The reason for the song is the source of its intensity.
@@sabina1118 watch the original video and then watch the Bad Wolves cover. You'll understand when you see it.
They’re unbelievable! Saw them in concert in 1996 NYC. One of the best shows ever. Big fan. RIP Delores. You must watch the video for this even on your own. Loved your reaction. 1st time here. ✌️❤️
Heard this track thousands of times and I still get goosebumps on goosebumps 👏👏👏
Yup, this was one of the biggest hits of the mid 90s, and fully deserved
For sure!!
I am so gratified to finally hear a reaction video talking about how absolutely stunning the drummer is!
I love that you put your thoughts on screen rather than interrupting the flow you get a better first experience that way
Agree! Thanks a lot!
I know I like that she did that as well!
I LOVE this band, this song, this reaction and your Mom. A great choice. Thanks again.
Has Mom been in your show yet?

2 of their other really great songs are "Dreams" & "Linger". I miss her so much. 😢
I have watched a bunch of reaction videos of this song, you are the first and only to mention the drummer. He SLAMS those drums! That is so needed in this song! Excellent job ma’am!
Paris 1999, possibly best Cranberries concert ever. This is from that event. I watch the full concert video every few months. RIP Delores.

Love the fact that you don't Say a word during the whole songs... Respect from italy, love your Channel!
Thanks 😍❤️
Northern Ireland's anthem. You were the one and only Delores and created a masterpiece. Always loved Zombie, thank you Sabina💚
The rest of us that have not lived under a rock have listened to Cranberries for 25 yrs 🥳
Loss of Dolores was a blow to our youth memories. 😥 for us, the generation Y, Cranberries was our power of life through rock music. RIP Dolores.
Gosh, Dolores is an angel taken too soon. Absolutely love her voice, so transparent as to feel her soul. 🙏
The Cranberries - Promises. The same concert is ❤️❤️❤️❤️
The vocal style that Dolores adapted was Irish/Celtic keening sometimes used in conjunction with funeral services, so I've been told.
Excellent reaction to an awesome song! As others have suggested, you should really check out the official video - the contrast in the “feel” of the two performances is striking. This one feels upbeat & hopeful, while the other… well, you need to experience it.

Snow Patrol of course from the North.

And Dolores was such a great STAR singer/songwriter/musician/vocalist!!! Thanks very much for the reaction Sabina's mom.
You picked one of the great performances of this massive song too !
When pain In someone's voice Is so powerful that Is as powerful as any bomb killing people !! ❣❣Miss her !
RIP Dolores. Always loved this song.
So glad you were introduced to The Cranberries by a live performance of their biggest hit song. If you love the live performances the best check out Linger from this concert aswell (Paris 1999 live) and Dreams at Woodstock 1994 Live by The Cranberries 😊
Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is one of the best !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can't imagine being young enough not to know Zombie, great song, very much of the time. Dolores rest in peace.
You really should look up Irish crowds singing zombie together. It is almost the Irish national anthem. Amazing song by an amazing band.
Great live performance of iconic song , Bad wolves were to release with her but sadly she left us before she could do it , but their version is fantastic tribute
It was a brave and beautifully haunting song during those times
Dolores! Love her. Truly a unique voice and talent, and so sad we lost her early. I recommend comparing this song now to the video version (it's good), but this live version is special.

The official video is also worth checking. It contains lot of footage from NI and was obviously shot during the Troubles. Harrowing at times.

Please watch the Bad Wolves cover which should have featured Dolores, but sadly she passed away just before the recording...
This song has never been more relevant after Northern Ireland than it is now in this period.
🙏🏻🙏🏻
RIP Dolores 💖 this was one of two cover we did with our Band back in the 90th. If u havent watched the Video Clip, u realy should. The soldiers and Kids was real, Shows the meaning of the Song. Sadly the story of this song becomes real theese days again
Welcome to Dolores club 😎🔥 please try “Linger” or “Shattered” live🙏🏻 you will love them as well 😉
For a much more intimate performance, check out their NPR Tiny Desk Concert, it's great and emotional.
The original video is much deeper.
The part you loved was ancient Gaelic mourning singing... she put it in for a reason.

Fun fact : put aside the first lead singer who only stayed for a few monthes when the band wasn't know outside their home town of Limerick, The Cranberries kept the same line-up for their entire existence : Noel and Mike Hogan (Guitar and Bass), Fergal lawler (Drums), Dolorès O' Riordan (Lead vocals ; RIP)
I love the angry drumming too.
It has been claimed that this song was more effective than anything politicians ever did to end "the troubles" in Northern Ireland, as it distanced the ordinary decent and peaceful Irish population from the atrocities committed by the IRA.
It is only fairly recently that litter bins have been replaced in British public spaces, after their removal during the time when the IRA were using them to hide nail bombs and the like.
This was written after one such attack in Warrington,, where the bomb was placed near a shopping mall and a threat to the mall was telephoned in - causing the public to be evacuated directly into the area of the bomb. Even some units of the IRA were so sickened that they disowned the group that carried it out, and clearly, both Great Britain and Ireland were outraged - so this was Dolores O'Riordan's response to that. Well worth going through the lyrics.
And I believe it - it was a MASSIVE hit in both Ireland and England and has had regular radio airplay ever since. In that way, it kept up the pressure on all sides to end the senseless fighting.
I went over to Ulster on a visit not very long after this to finish qualifying on road circuit marshalling, ending with the NW200 (the fastest motorcycle road race in the world), before going on to the Isle of Man to marshal for the TT and Manx GP there (on the mountain circuit - 37.73 miles of the most challenging roads imaginable with races lasting up to 6 laps), and the fortification of police stations and regular patrols of armed police and army units was still present, and security was a constant concern in everyday life. This song, more than any other single act, changed all that. Because even though politicians had held talks for years, this put the pressure on and kept it there. It lasted and was repeated over and over, unlike any government statement or ministerial announcement. It just would not go away, and undermined any claim the terrorists had to be fighting "for Ireland".
RIP Dolores💔 - you left us too soon, but your influence was international and huge, and there can be no better tribute or legacy.
Brazil here!
Just found your channel (thanks to Eddie Van Halen). Two suggestions:
Dire Straits, Sultans of Swing live at Alchemy
And you owe it to yourself to try Boston. Every song on the first album had major radio rotation. And all but one of them was recorded in Tom Scholz's basement studio. He played every instrument except drums. He invented the Rockman to get the sounds he wanted - he was a design engineer at Polaroid at the time. Brad Delp's vocals are insane. You won't believe his range.
Losing her is so tragic on so many levels. WTF
I like this version better than the official video but both are great and you should watch the original sometime for the context of the song......
This song was certainly more profound than most. Her singing technique draws on Irish “keening”, a kind of lamentation for the dead, and the song was written shortly after another terrorist attack on the civil war in Northern Ireland that Brits so euphemistically call “the Troubles”.
They were one of the rare bands who sounded nearly identical between live and recorded.
R.I.P. Delores O'riordan.
she was a master of Irish Keening. She is missed the world over...
I've heard her style of singing is called keening.
Please give the cover of “Zombie” by “Bad Wolves” a watch, Dolores was supposed to appear on the track but sadly passed away the day of recording. They went ahead and did the cover, donating proceeds to her children.
Dolores ( R.I.P. ) spent much of her life crusading for the rights and lives of all children......this was her appeal for peace for them, especially during Ireland's "Troubles"
Love the Cranberries. A band I wish I saw in concert.
Little off the subject but when you get a chance check out The Warning. They are a pure rock band 3 sisters out of Mexico.
RIP Dolores, world became worse without you
This is a great live version, however I would suggest checking out the original music video which is very powerful. Right before her death Dolores was going to provide vocals on a metal cover of this song by the band Bad Wolves, they made the song and donated all proceeds to her children and the video of the song is a tribute to Dolores but you need to have seen the orginal video to get it.
I love your reactions, besides being a beautiful cat ❤❤❤
Zombie is considered a protest song against the Northern Ireland conflict. DoloresO'Riordan RIP ( leadsinger) wrote the lyrics to the
song during the band's 1993 tour of England in memory of two children (Jonathan Ball and Tim Parry) who were killed in an IRA bombing
in Warrington on March 20, 1993.
A very human song❤
