By the way Jamel, My mother is from Ireland, In the scene it's called keening, It's kind of how they sang at funerals and things like that. Just so you know. Love you brother
The love of my life lives in limerick and sadly I'll probably never see her again . The Cranberries will always pulls my heart strings for the rest of my life . I will always love you Lynn !
My wife of 30 years passed away in January 2021 and this was one of her favorite bands so hearing this song is both happy and sad as it brings back memories of her. I believe this was the song that brought them into the limelight.
Their voices, music and rhythm are like the falling rain, at first tenderly , then it becomes the raging storm by the messages of their songs…. and so universal ! It’s such a poetry of different emotions! Such unique talents , the Cranberries…I miss them!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh there it is.... that Limerick accent. I love it when artists sing in their natural accent. So many artists over the decades sang with an "American" sound rather than their own and then when you hear them do interviews or whatever it's quite a shock. RIP Delores, you will always be missed and the world will always be sadder without your heaven sent voice.
It seems to me that heavy accents can stay within songs. The Dubliners were the same. But for a lot of songs, depending on the song and rhythm, the vowels can get stretched changing the character of the consonants losing the accent.. Some British can sound vaguely American. Not to say that some bands influenced by US artist don't style themselves to sound American.
Easily in my top 25 favorite songs and I am a 51 year old man. Her voice killed it. She was a baby and tried out for this band. They told her to write something and come back. This was what she wrote. Now this band brought it together but she is an angel in a choir. Love.
I used to listen to them a lot when I was a teenager back in the 90s. I would always try to sing the Keening parts too. My poor parents had their bedroom next to mine, I'm sure it was very unpleasant.🤣
No, no video could do the song or her voice justice. Dang, this really takes me back to my senior year and introduction to adulthood, finding out who I really am and finding the love of my life. I can remember, not having cable TV, so no MTV. I just fell in absolute love with her voice. I imagined a real beauty and I was correct. She's one of my favorite female vocalists, along with the Wilson sisters from Heart. I don't even know why I'm differentiating here, the three of them are probably my favorite vocalists, period. Such a tragedy that such an angelic voice was taken from us far too soon.
After 70's and 80's rock that I grew up, with this style of Alternative type music was the next step in my musical evolution...Some great over-looked music from the 90's.
She is one of my favorite female singers of all time. She is the voice of my college years in the city, and every time I hear The Cranberries I can close my eyes and I'm back in Chicago in the 90s, on a fall evening, listening to Dolores with a drink and a cigarette. Also, do more Depeche Mode!
I was just leaving work and heard on the radio Delores died. I pulled over and cried a bit. Then drove to a bar and played Cranberries songs. Everyone at the tavern was bummed when they heard. She was so very loved by millions i think😢❤️❤️❤️. But I'm happy to have been here to hear it.
I really miss her music. They came up to popularity while I was a teen. I just "knew" that I'd have a lifetime of cool songs coming from her. But I am thankful for what she did give the world in her young life.
Hello Sir, Thank you for reacting to Cranberries and Delores' amazing voice. She had such a unique and mesmerizing voice. I really liked the To the Faithful Departed album with I Am Still Remembering as a deep cut gem.
I go back and forth on my favorite Cranberries album between To The Faithful Departed and No Need To Argue. For me, they did some of their best songwriting on those 2 albums. Dolores' voice is amazing no matter what though. As the old cliche goes, she could sing me the phone book!
I see so many videos and people commenting on Dolores beautiful voice. I love her voice too, but she’s more than that. She played a major part in writing this song, and writing songs for the band. She’s not just a singer, she’s a songstress, a storyteller, a balladeer, a comfort to so many people around the world. Her and the cranberries, one of the most beautiful bands in my own personal world.
13 years, my old aging body wishes... Try nearly 30. I remember connecting with my little brother to this song when he picked me up at the airport in Lemoore CA. Going to meet his wife. It is amazing how music brings it all back.
Very Well Put...That was a Great Reaction!! 😭😭 My Heart's Broken from the Loss of Dolores!! 💔💔 She was AMAZING and is Sorely Missed!! RIP our ANGEL!! ❤️
I still can't believe she's gone. My wife was a big Cranberries fan and she naturally turned me into a fan as well. I bought my wife one of Delores' solo-effort CD's for Christmas several years apart. The world lost an angel when she passed away waaaaaaay too early.
This is nostalgia in my ears. Every time I hear that intro it takes me back to when I would hear this on the radio. I am grateful for a mother that introduced me to so many different artists and influenced my love for music in general
Such a fantastic song and band. I remember when it first came out and was all over the radio and we used to substitute “did you have to let it linger” with “did you have to smell your finger”
This was my heartbreak song in the 90s. It played constantly on MTV. I still brace myself a little before listening to it all these years later. Her voice is so special and so missed.
The first time I heard this song, when she hit, "And I'm in so deep" I fell in love with her and I loved her until the day she died and will until I die.
Also, country music had its roots in Irish and Scottish (and some English) settlers bringing over their traditional folk songs. From there you get bluegrass, and from there you get country. The chord progressions end up being fairly similar across all of those musical groupings. Blues would also be related just based on chord structure as well.
Gahhh thanks for doing this one Jamel! It’s a masterpiece and makes me cryyyyyy! As soon as I hear that intro and her beautiful hum I get chills. The lyrics are too real. So much to love! RIP Dolores a voice like no other!
Extremely grateful you're persisting, brother, against all the discouraging actions of copyright holders or whoever. It's gotta be hard, but we hold out hope for you to hold on, triumph, and get through. Thank, you, Jamel.
The song is from the early 90s but I assume the video was uploaded 13 years ago. This is one of my faves along with Ode to my Family. Def check that out
Thanks Jamel. I loved the Cranberries. This has that marching drum beat (if thats what it's called) and the bass is definitely providing more rhythm, there's the effects that elevate it. Perfect intrusions of lead guitar. A great arrangement and mood
Not a lot of songs get to me, but this goes to the sinew and through the bone, piercing heart and soul. The lyrics are touching and heartfelt, then you add the orchestration and her vocals, then the chorus with her soaring background vocals. The song is beyond surreal and sublime.
Talking about it sounding Country reminded me of the Fleetwood Mac song "That's Alright" written and sung by Stevie Nicks. It's hidden gem of hers. She wrote it in the early 70s but it was only released around 1982
Interesting that you reacted to this song today, or at least posted it today. I heard it on the way to work this morning on Sirus XM. It was a little sad to listen to may she RIP. It also took me back to an interesting time in my life when this song came out. This song is so calming in some way despite the lyrics describing a negative situation. Like many other comments in here another great Cranberries song that really proclaims her voice is the song “Ode to my Family”.
I was devastated when i heard the news she passed away, it hit me hard. Im not one to usually get upset at a " celebrity's " death, but this one rocked me. I grew up with The Cranberries, even saw them live, she was such a powerhouse vocalist, and she was a tiny woman, but had one hell of a voice. I still get sad when i hear her singing, but love her voice so much. RIP Delores.
Great song written or borne from songwriter-singer and instrumentation-music composer Delores Riordan's heart. Cranberries reached great success. But the after-hear or aftertaste there's no doubt sadness soaks in.
This really takes me back to my senior year of undergrad and jamming to the Cranberries with a buddy I had a big crush on. He tragically ended up passing away from cancer 12 years later. RIP Izzy

Thanks for doing the cranberries Jamel. Dolores went to school with my brother Liam. Rest in peace Dolores my fellow Limerick woman. 🙏
I have been to Limerick and Durty Nellie's! I left the patch of my fire department there!
Great win last weekend !
God-bless you..
By the way Jamel, My mother is from Ireland, In the scene it's called keening, It's kind of how they sang at funerals and things like that. Just so you know. Love you brother
The love of my life lives in limerick and sadly I'll probably never see her again . The Cranberries will always pulls my heart strings for the rest of my life . I will always love you Lynn !
I love the sound of Irish women singing voices they are very Angelic
This was the song that introduced me to the Cranberries. What a wondeful voice lost way too soon.
Same but from the movie Click w Adam Sandler, it was his Son’s wedding song or somethin
My wife of 30 years passed away in January 2021 and this was one of her favorite bands so hearing this song is both happy and sad as it brings back memories of her. I believe this was the song that brought them into the limelight.
"Ode to My Family" was another hit for them!
They had a lot of hits and there 1st 2 albums were filled with amazing songs if I remember correctly. It's been years since I listened
Their voices, music and rhythm are like the falling rain, at first tenderly , then it becomes the raging storm
by the messages of their songs…. and so universal ! It’s such a poetry of different emotions!
Such unique talents , the Cranberries…I miss them!
I miss when bands wrote lyrics that really meant something like Zombie did.
Probably my favorite Cranberries song? Makes me choke up and cry a little, it’s beautiful and organized so well
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh there it is.... that Limerick accent. I love it when artists sing in their natural accent. So many artists over the decades sang with an "American" sound rather than their own and then when you hear them do interviews or whatever it's quite a shock.

Totally agree.

Not to say that some bands influenced by US artist don't style themselves to sound American.
Not American, it's called Mid Atlantic ...Glad she didn't use that accent..
This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. The voice, the strings, all of it. This takes be back to Senior year in college.
One of the best songs of the 90s.
Ever
@@nigelwinterburn7278 🤝
I was lucky enough to see the Cranberries in concert. Delores was amazing live! R.I.P.
Me too, Peace
Goosebumps everytime
Easily in my top 25 favorite songs and I am a 51 year old man. Her voice killed it. She was a baby and tried out for this band. They told her to write something and come back. This was what she wrote. Now this band brought it together but she is an angel in a choir. Love.
AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL AND GIFTED YOUNG LADY...TAKEN TOO TOO TOO YOUNG FROM THE WORLD....REMARKABLE YOUNG LADY....RIP DOLORES... YOU ARE LOVED...
I love her voice and this song from the first time that I heard it. 😁
I love the Cranberries! Such a touch of class all the way!
I looooove her, I could listen to the Cranberries all day.
"Ode to My Family" is probably my favorite song of theirs and the music video is one of the best of the 90's imo.
This is it. One of my TOP 10 songs of all time.
This whole album is a killer, I listened to it for weeks - my wife would laugh at me when I tried to sing her "keening:" parts.
I used to listen to them a lot when I was a teenager back in the 90s. I would always try to sing the Keening parts too. My poor parents had their bedroom next to mine, I'm sure it was very unpleasant.🤣
My favorite by the Cranberries ❤️
Simply stunning in every way
Delores had a beautiful voice - kind of ethereal. Plus her Irish accent is just the right spice to make it perfect.
Well said🙏🏻🎶💙
Absolutely adore her voice! Thank you for reacting to The Cranberries! 😽💋🎶
Music was the best back then... hanging out at Tower Records on a rainy day.
No, no video could do the song or her voice justice. Dang, this really takes me back to my senior year and introduction to adulthood, finding out who I really am and finding the love of my life.

Love the Cranberrys may she R.I.P.
Love the Cranberries! So glad you're reacting to more of their music, Jamel.
One of the great timeless songs of the 90s. Her voice, the strings, the arrangement, it’s just so perfect. RIP Dolores.
She had a very haunting voice. Smooth and pure.
My favourite Cranberries song is "No Need To Argue". Such a beautiful, haunting song.
She is one of my favorite female singers of all time. She is the voice of my college years in the city, and every time I hear The Cranberries I can close my eyes and I'm back in Chicago in the 90s, on a fall evening, listening to Dolores with a drink and a cigarette.
Also, do more Depeche Mode!
A once in a lifetime singer. RIP our beautiful Dolores 🇮🇪☘️❤️
I love the cranberries! The lead singer's voice is just so incredible. I love watching your reactions
Such a powerful song. That orchestra s fantastic! Thanks Jamel.
I was just leaving work and heard on the radio Delores died. I pulled over and cried a bit. Then drove to a bar and played Cranberries songs. Everyone at the tavern was bummed when they heard. She was so very loved by millions i think😢❤️❤️❤️. But I'm happy to have been here to hear it.
Dolores was so talented. RIP 🙏
My favourite female singer, Dolores O'Riordan, RIP, listen to "Promises" or "Ridiculous Thoughts":) (live - fantastic!)
This is a top 5 song of the 90s for me, along with Fields of Gold, Losing My Religion, Interstate Love Song, and Lightning Crashes.
Great song list (personally, I like Sting's Shape of My Heart better than Fields of Gold, but still a good song)
She's a beautiful lady and a voice of an angel
I really miss her music. They came up to popularity while I was a teen. I just "knew" that I'd have a lifetime of cool songs coming from her. But I am thankful for what she did give the world in her young life.
Oh man, how I miss every single thing about the 90’s! Even and especially myself 💞
Always loved this song! is so beautiful, emotional and sung in her lovely accent - a true gem from the 90's
Jamel she does a beautiful duet of Ave Maria with Pavarotti.
When You’re Gone is also one of my favorites from them.
Irish singers always have such heartfelt voices.

love the cranberries, such a beautiful and unique voice 💚🎧🎶
LOVE the Cranberries! Great alternative 90s! They don't have a bad song! Awesome!
Literally everyone loves this song. That’s how you know it’s a true masterpiece☘️
I see so many videos and people commenting on Dolores beautiful voice. I love her voice too, but she’s more than that. She played a major part in writing this song, and writing songs for the band. She’s not just a singer, she’s a songstress, a storyteller, a balladeer, a comfort to so many people around the world. Her and the cranberries, one of the most beautiful bands in my own personal world.
Voice of a angel! Rest In Peace Deloris your music helped me thru some tough times as a young man felt it in my soul thank you!
13 years, my old aging body wishes... Try nearly 30. I remember connecting with my little brother to this song when he picked me up at the airport in Lemoore CA. Going to meet his wife. It is amazing how music brings it all back.
Very Well Put...That was a Great Reaction!! 😭😭 My Heart's Broken from the Loss of Dolores!! 💔💔 She was AMAZING and is Sorely Missed!! RIP our ANGEL!! ❤️
I still get emotional when i hear her beautiful voice!
I still can't believe she's gone. My wife was a big Cranberries fan and she naturally turned me into a fan as well. I bought my wife one of Delores' solo-effort CD's for Christmas several years apart. The world lost an angel when she passed away waaaaaaay too early.
LOVE THIS SONG!
-San Francisco fan girl
One of my fav songs. Reminds me of my carefree 20’s new love with my husband. Late nights ! Good times. Music 🎶 does that to us.
Check out her live performance of this song at the Vatican. Gorgeous
This song always tore my teenage soul up!
This is nostalgia in my ears. Every time I hear that intro it takes me back to when I would hear this on the radio.
I am grateful for a mother that introduced me to so many different artists and influenced my love for music in general
Jamel, your pronunciation of Depeche Mode was exactly right!
RIP Dolores. Voice of an angel
Such a fantastic song and band. I remember when it first came out and was all over the radio and we used to substitute “did you have to let it linger” with “did you have to smell your finger”
This was my heartbreak song in the 90s. It played constantly on MTV. I still brace myself a little before listening to it all these years later. Her voice is so special and so missed.
Same
"Dreams" is also a good song.
We called it a shoe string. Such a beautiful dreamy voice! RIP Dolores!
This is an all timer. Incredible songwriting and vocals.
The first time I heard this song, when she hit, "And I'm in so deep" I fell in love with her and I loved her until the day she died and will until I die.
F1rst!!!! Wow. This is a blast from the early 90s. Zowey! Such a new sound for the time; at least it felt like a new sound.
i love this song…it’s always on my road trip playlist
One of the best songs from them!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Some of the most amazing and talented people, have demons they struggle with. I wish she got the help she needed.
This is my FAVORITE song from them. This song was the reason I bought the tape to play in my car all those years ago. ❤️
You need to see her singing Little Drummer Boy at The Vatican back in 2001... Chills.
Also, country music had its roots in Irish and Scottish (and some English) settlers bringing over their traditional folk songs. From there you get bluegrass, and from there you get country. The chord progressions end up being fairly similar across all of those musical groupings. Blues would also be related just based on chord structure as well.
This song is from the early 90s really cool song 1993 I think
Gahhh thanks for doing this one Jamel! It’s a masterpiece and makes me cryyyyyy! As soon as I hear that intro and her beautiful hum I get chills. The lyrics are too real. So much to love! RIP Dolores a voice like no other!
These irish guys wer e just brilliant! Rest in peace, Dolores!
This was basically my anthem back in the day.
its's crazy how she went CRAZY! G, od have you eve seen her podcasts she was INSANE!
Extremely grateful you're persisting, brother, against all the discouraging actions of copyright holders or whoever. It's gotta be hard, but we hold out hope for you to hold on, triumph, and get through. Thank, you, Jamel.
love her voice, "dreams" is another great one
What a wonderful group, and Dolores was marvelous!
The song is from the early 90s but I assume the video was uploaded 13 years ago. This is one of my faves along with Ode to my Family. Def check that out
R.I.P. ~ Dolores O'Riordan (1971-2018)
Thanks Jamel. I loved the Cranberries. This has that marching drum beat (if thats what it's called) and the bass is definitely providing more rhythm, there's the effects that elevate it. Perfect intrusions of lead guitar. A great arrangement and mood

Such a sad loss to the world - In person and in voice. RIP Delores.
Always loved this song. ❤
Jamel ..you have a very good taste of music. Greetings from north Africa
Really takes you back to the 90's love it! Rip Delores!
Jamal, your analysis of this song has me in tears. I have been that fool, but those days are gone. Thanks for helping see I was not the only one.
This is my all time fave of the Cranberries. A truly gorgeous song by a beautiful lady. We all miss you Dolores 😢
Talking about it sounding Country reminded me of the Fleetwood Mac song "That's Alright" written and sung by Stevie Nicks. It's hidden gem of hers. She wrote it in the early 70s but it was only released around 1982
Thanks Jamel for preserving the legacy of Dolores and the Cranberries
Aahhhh sounds of the 90s. Miss this so much.
