![The Cranberries ZOMBIE] FIRST TIME REACTION](/img/tr.png)
Dolores O'Riordan said specifically that she wrote this song after The Cranberries 1993 English tour....during which The IRA planted 2 bombs in Warrington which resulted in the deaths of 2 young boys.....She wrote the song back home in Limerick after seeing on TV the devastation caused to one of the mothers of the boys.....and a quote taken from the BBC reads......The singer was particularly offended that terrorists claimed to have carried out these acts in the name of Ireland."The IRA are not me. I'm not the IRA," she said. "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, it's some idiots living in the past."...... ...RIP lovely Dolores who passed away early in 2018.......She was also offered a $1million check by her label/manager not too produce the song Zombie but she ripped it apart....
I love receiving information like that this is why I like this channel so much
Some people can't be bought. Some beliefs are so powerful no amount of money can make a difference. God bless her for tearing that damn check up. whoever gave her the check to begin with needs to have their head smacked with a 4x4. They are obviously easy to buy and sell.
still in tears
Well done walshaw ....
provos; NOT the IRA.....
The part you mentioned about her repeating "with their tanks, and their bombs, and their bombs, and their guns," it wasn't just repetition, she was referring to both sides. Each side would retaliate against each other in a seemingly endless cycle of violence. Both sides would add the latest event to the litany of grievances as justification for the next attack.
So what she's saying is "with their (side a) tanks, and their bombs, and their (side b) bombs, and their guns."
RIP Dolores
I have PTSD, and when I first heard this song on the radio the line 'In your head, they're still fighting' resonated with me. Later I listened to the rest of the lyrics and realised what the song was really about, but somehow my initial reaction still feels relevant. PTSD perpetuates and magnifies trauma, and the long years of conflict make it almost impossible for those affected to let it go.
There is a guy Charley Morley who does alot of work with PTSD through lucid dreaming, you may get an online workshop this year. Google him and hope it helps you,bless you 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Hi. I just want to say that I found that EMDR has been very effective for my PTSD. It reprocesses the trauma and puts in into a different place in the brain. If you want to do this you need a therapist with training and experience in trauma focused therapy. Best wishes.
May God bless and heal you. PTSD can work on you and booze only works for awhile. 😢. If the politicians got PTSD there would be no more war.
The singing technique is "keening' and is a traditional style sung by women at funerals as lament
Can hardly see to type - tears every time
The 'troubles' were a very real thing and such a horrible mess
I'm in control if I've seen it recently. Otherwise I'm in bits.
Each violent act removed another voice and the sound of children playing.......
I didn't know there was a specific form of keening.
One of rock’s instantly recognizable voices. So beautiful. The pain in her voice seemingly reflected the pain in her soul. RIP.
The children playing war with the soldiers looking on and the IRA graffiti all around shows the culture that a generation was raised in. She is writing about children that died, but not the ones in the video. Sometimes a song makes a real difference in the world - not on it's own, but a cultural shift came about with a generation growing up who were ready to put the violence of their ancestors and the enemy's ancestors behind them. U2 also was a part of this shift as well.
That moment when you tossed your hands up in the air said everything in that moment on your face as all of the words that you shared immediately afterward. Not as a criticism, but to your credit. One of the reason you are one of the favorite reactors to watch in a fairly large circle of viewers is because your face is incapable of giving a false read.
Cranberries are the real thing. It touched me the way it did you all those many long years ago.
Cheers ✌😎
I agree so much with this comment. You're an amazing person Daniel!
RIP Dolores O'Riordan - a gem in our lifetime. The violent conflict between England and Ireland raged on for decades and both sides are to blame for many innocent lives being taken. This song speaks to the tragic losses and endless violence that plagued both countries and somewhat still does.
This is a great one by them. The Cranberries - "Ode To My Family"
I got to see The Cranberries live in 1993 - they were touring with Duran Duran as the opening act (don’t even get me started on high underrated the brilliant Duran is as MASTERS of new wave). “Linger” was just breaking huge in the US. We were absolutely blown away by how awesome they were - the stunning Dolores used her voice like a whip, and she held us spellbound. It was amazing. Absolutely amazing. I cried when I learned of her tragic early end.
Tried to say how underrated Duran is as a band and as masters of new wave
Sigh. And that The Cranberries were opening for Duran Duran
I cried also😢
This song will cut me to the quick till the end. A tear and a shudder will always accompany the listening to this song.
One of the truly exceptional rock compositions and performances ever. Catchy, powerful, meaningful, and beautiful.
What a great choice, Daniel. I never thought through the lyrics before. Thank you for giving me the opportunity. I think the song is primarily speaking to Irish struggles over the decades. She mentions 1916. IIRC that was the beginning of the modern struggle for Irish independence.
Zombie could easily be considered one of the "masterpieces" in music, striking a balance that just makes it work both inside and outside of mainstream. But many of their songs balance that same edge, and thus it's a band that I thoroughly enjoy the sound of. They're well worth listening to, imho.
" Linger' and ' family" are lovely. Also Bad Wolves did a great version in her honour after she died. It's brilliant.
A passionate protest against the tragedy and violence that have so often scarred Irish history.
Cranberries - Stars. A beautiful song and video. Delores O'riordan was so special. Every song she ever did the lyrics meant a lot to her. Her loss at such an early age is so much more than tragic. She is singing with the angels now in peace.
You are so right to point to “Stars” ! Love everything about that song & video, in fact it’s my #1 favorite of all music vids I ever saw. It captures their youthful brillance, and makes me go back to it for inspiration alot.
This song does indeed deserve to be analyzed and talked about. RIP Dolores 🎧 💓 🎶
It's a traditional form of Irish singing keening its called
Hey Daniel, one of the most powerful anti war songs of all time. It NEEDED to be said. All war does is hurt those most vulnerable: The Children. Why haven't we learned this?? Dolores' voice hammers it home and the video hits you right in your soul. We (the world) are STILL fighting.. insanity... zombie, zombie, zombie....
So glad you were not blocked. THIS is one of the most powerful songs and videos ever recorded. First time watching this is shocking. I never tire of watching this amazing art piece with such impactful lyrics. Chills and Sorrow. The back story is sad. This helped change the world and stop a war. The religious imagery conveys the horror and the anger.
(this and Disturbed cover of 'Sound of Silence' are the most amazing performances and powerful videos)
This song is so heavy yet brings me to tears.
Thanks Daniel. This is where I grew up . Very important song
We are the zombies. We take in the hatred as children, and mindlessly carry it forward, and pass it down to our children. Generation after generation. The cycle is broken when a crisis compels us to stop. I think the song captures this so well. RIP Dolores O'Riordan. You are not forgotten.
Yes. It begins with disrespecting people who are different from yourself. Before you know it you are teaching the kids to think the same way and the zombie of hate in your head won't die.
Well, I've got to say that you are definitely the best reviewer on YT. You play the music (either with or without an accompanying music video), then review the lyrics, look at other comments, check song facts. A very, very thorough job. And your comments are thoughtful and helpful. 5 stars Daniel. Great work mate.
I used to go to a heavy rock club in the 90s and the dj paused before playing this for the very first time after just playing mettallica. The floor was packed with about 200 people and he said for us all to give this song a chance ....as soon as the first chord struck about 100 more people tried to get onto the floor...it got played every week from that week on till the club closed in august 99. The club was the Mayfair Newcastle where 2000 rock fans would descend from all over the uk on a Friday and Saturday .....great song by a great band. If you really want to cry listen to Linger by the same band. That was their first major uk hit. Thanks for reacting and for bringing back such great memories Daniel.
Growing up, there was hardly ever a day that there wasn’t news about the violence towards children in Ireland.... felt it HARD as my father had done two tours in Vietnam as a helicopter pilot (army)...the video and song together makes my soul ache 😖 to this day
I am 66 years old, and I LOVE rock!! What an incredible song!!
Dreams and linger are very good
I remember when this song was released and I remember when the bad wolf cover was released. Both songs are fantastic.
The original was made in response to events I barely knew about at the time, because we didn't have the global access to news we have now. So middle school me knew abstractly there was fighting just across the ocean in ireland, but the thought that people who weren't soldiers were getting killed didn't even occur to me until a bit after this song was released and I learned the meaning behind it. That it wasn't jusr a general anti-war song.
The story I heard about the cover: Dolores liked the cover a lot and was going to sing a bit for them on it, but she died days before she was to record it. They released it in memorial. It's still hard hitting. Because it is the same old violence and pain and senseless loss of lives, particularly those of innocents, every time.
Delores O'Riordan possessed such an otherworldly voice used to peak effectiveness. "Linger," "Ode to My Family," "When You're Gone."
Aww, the wonderful Dolores O'Riordan was such an amazing talent. She passed away Jan.15th 2018. Only 46 yrs old. Tragic. Bad Wolves is a heavy metal band who covered this great tune. I think you would like their version, too.
This to me is one of the most powerful songs of the 20th Century, it is in my top 3 songs of all time as it is timeless and gets you every time it's listened too.
The last cord of the track in video terms, is the last breath of that child.
My BFF lives in the Republic of Ireland and I've had the chance to make extended visits there over the last couple of years. Dolores is revered in the musical community and her loss is still deeply felt. Check out the Bad Wolves cover, it's great.
If you ever get to visit Dublin, walk down McConnell street to the General Post Office. You can still see the bullet holes in the stone columns and front from the Easter Uprising--the 1916 reference Dolores makes in the lyrics. Look up the history of Northern Ireland and the Troubles.
Btw, Dolores's last name is pronounced as O'Rear-den. :)
When you say your feeling a song. Now you know what that really means. You witnessed something powerful.
Dolores O Riordan wrote some beautiful songs. She was amazing. RIP
Cranberries-----"Ode to My Family"
I liked their earlier songs, Linger and Dreams, as well as Zombie. Didn’t really keep up with their later work for some reason.
I was in senior high school when this was released. It was a huge hit in my country. It was everywhere. I found it so cool I got the album. English is not my native language, I didn't understand everything back then, or the context. But that's the type of song you love even more when you learn all the story, the meanings about it.
There is quite many react videos about it, and I'm happy it makes the younger generations discovering this band. The legend goes on
You would like "Linger" also most likely..It's more of a creepy ballad but it's one of those songs that Made The Cranberries.. The 90s was GREAT for this type of Grunge and Alternative Rock with bands like Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots, Oasis and so many more.
I love a song of theirs called "Salvation". It's a fast paced banger. As for Dolores"s voice, she doesn't try to sound American but sings in her natural thick Irish brogue.
I remember as a kid (I'm Scottish), my friends dad took my friend and I to Belfast. He was a ships captain for a ferry company at the time, so free passage with kids. My friend left his hat in a restaurant. We went back try to find it. The bank next door had been bombed. About twenty minutes after we lest the restaurant.
Original / Cover suggestion:
"Hazy Shade of Winter" - Simon and Garfunkel / The Bangels. Thank you!
This is the reason i love watching ur channel so much..the empathy pours from you at all the right moments..thank you as always
Linger was an even bigger hit though this song definitely touches one’s emotions!
rediscovered this song myself this year. been studying alot on the world wars, so her line 'it's the same old team since 1916' became very vivid to me. Excelent song and a beautiful talent. Rest in peace Delores.
Theme, same old theme and I don't know that this matters
Bad Wolves cover is a superb tribute, in more ways than 1, must see...........
It's an Irish singing style called keening. The lamenting wail as it were.
Another big hit was "Dreams" which was used in the movie You've Got Mail.
First reaction to actually make me cry.
This song was played ad nauseam when it came out. I like it so much more now.
Powerful stuff. Great dissection.
💜💫✌🏼🎵
Her singing is very Irish. The way her voice tilts up. RIP Deloris.
Must Watch Cranberries live at Woodstock THE BEST!! I
Song "Linger"
SO SIMPLE and yet SOOO POWERFULL!
Zombie isn't one of my favorites but is very popular in general. These are mine...Linger, Animal Instinct, Ode To My Family, Dreams, Just My Imagination, You And Me. They had many hits. Great musicians and her voice is intoxicating!
Dreams and Linger by the Cranberries. they are such a great group ♥
There is a reason the video has over 1 billion views on youtube. It is THE greatest song OF ALL TIME.
Great song, delivered with total conviction, as it should be.
i love this band with a great singer with increadible voice
What a voice she had...I like their song dreams also.
just over 1 year later this song is even more relevant with the events of the last week
Thank You Daniel! Again, I really enjoy your reactions, and research into the songs. Love this song, and Linger. Really think you would enjoy reacting to it!
Their songs Linger and Dreams are worth checking out!
If you haven't heard these two please check them out!! "Dreams" and "Linger" so beautiful!!! RIP Delores
I tend to be critical of covers but Bad Wolf did a great job. Powerful song. Always liked the Cranberries and her distinct voice and style.
they have another hit called DREAMS
The most significant 'pop' song there's ever been, or likely to be.
'pop' with heavy sludgy guitars? with near screaming vocals
@@BrutalV Well Taylor Swift it ain't, that's for sure.
@@diogenesagogo lol sure. the guys said she "was the metaller in the band"
Pop rock
Daniel - nice reaction, I appreciate that you are so thorough. I’d heard of the Cranberries, but had never listened until a few years ago. Don’t remember why, but I watched a clip of a talent show from Germany where a teen girl sang Zombie. She was very good, and I really liked the song, but didn’t understand the lyrics. So, I finally got around to watching the original.
With the video, it didn’t take me long to understand what the song was about, and as to the music, I loved everything about it, but especially the keening by Delores. For me, it’s one of the best songs of the past 30 years. Probably others have recommended these, but Dreams and Linger would be excellent follow up reactions.
dude, your channel is great, and the emotion in your reaction was powerful. I've seen dozens of zombie reactions and yours is one of the best.
My teenage years. Oh the feels.
You should listen to U2's Sunday, Bloody Sunday. Great song from the 80's by another Irish band with a similar theme.
The inter generational nature of trauma and strife. One of the most heart breaking songs in rock.
I hope you know a bit about recent Irish history, if not, it will be helpful to look into it. The gold paint represents the land of Ireland. In ancient pagan religion, the land was magical and sacred. It suffered and was damaged when there was warfare, causing crops to fail. Notice how the snare drum sounds like gunshots? The warfare was over the Catholic and Protestant religions. She uses a type of yodel that is specific to Ireland.
That vocalization that you are trying to describe is called "keening", used by the Irish at funerals to express anguish. Variations of this practice,which is akin to yodeling, are used by other cultures in the Middle East, where mourners hire professionals to perform at funerals
Great tune. Thanks.
Amazing song and incredible singer and group.
Linger
Listen "Linger", "Promises" or "Dreams" are songs by The Cranberries as well. 🙂
It was shocking and terribly sad when she was found dead (accidental drowning in bathtub due to alcohol intoxication). She had 3 children. RIP Dolores.
These lyrics are so amazing - the dead bodies of the children turn into zombies in our heads and haunt us. Is there any better way to express it? OMG!
I thought she was calling those who fight and spread violence zombies?
Your question about the kids and the cross resonated. Here's my take on it: this is basically cold rage against a society that would venerate the child as an innocent, while at the same time perpetuating an unending conflict into which these same children are raised and shaped. Their play is contrasted against the soldiers because by the metaphor it's just practicing their future. And the crosses and the iconography is the sanction of religion and the twisting of faith that makes pious noises about children and a pure Mother Mary. It's saying that the Church, or society, see its children as ornaments without free will... and will murder them as part of the social order. The original instigators are dead, yet the war goes on. The children hanging on the cross are presented as blood sacrifices to an endless zombie struggle.
The world lost a beautiful treasured when Dolores passed
There is alot of fighting still going on still today. People, families still dieing still to this day!!!!
her voice -- the way it rises in pitch at the very last breath of it -- is a celtic thing.
That's a traditional Irish vocal style known as Keening. Delores was a master.
Best Cranberries song; and I think one of the best music videos ever. Great choice!
Beautiful, sad and honest soug from her heart and soul. The music is perfect for the theme.
She was such an amazing singer. Such a unique voice. So much talent.
Try 'Linger, different style song, very haunting vocals.
Check out No need to argue, and Linger great songs
The nanosecond the song starts, you know something is coming that's going to knock you flat. What a stark beginning. It is a short song, but it is so intense that I think it is about as long as many brains can take at one sitting. Her voice is hauntingly beautiful. Glad this was chosen!
The Cranberries did a lot of songs--as others suggest, it would be a contrast to react to "Linger" and "Dreams" (Dreams was part of the movie "You've Got Mail"). If you want one to react with your Dad to, try "Ode to my Family." And one that has a bit more of the Zombie rock sound to it, although far less serious, is "Promises."
This track was the first harder rock sound for the band but they continued on with it in many tracks after this. Just an amazing talent in both her work with the Cranberries and her solo albums. Don't drink and bathe.
Love that your reacting to this song. Love her voice, gone to soon.
a good follow up to this would be Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2.
Great cinematography.
The Cranberries concert set at Woodstock '94 has an excellent Live version of "Zombie", that is worth checking out. And also that Bad Wolves cover is awesome, you would no doubt enjoy both of those..
This reaction is much older now compared to me watching it today but you asked about the cranberries and they were not a one hit wonder in the eighties when I was in high school.
as you say so powerful
