  • Zombie is considered a protest song against the Northern Ireland conflict. Dolores O'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. 🥺

    This is one of the most powerful anti-war songs ever written, in my opinion. The instruments sound like tanks and the vocals sound like pure distress.

    R.I.P. Dolores O'Riordan - its always sad when such great artists leave us. :eyes-purple-crying:
  • It’s called “keening” and is used mostly at funerals and in songs remembering the dead. It sounds like an emotional break as you’d hear when someone is crying. It’s a mournful singing style, beautiful and tragic.
  • "Keening" is an irish vocal technique generally used at funerals to honor/mourn the deceased.

    One of many things I love about this song is that she sings with an Irish accent. Usually ones accent is largely lost when singing. I adore that aspect.
  • One of the greatest songs of all time, hands down. When a song is so powerful it can move and motivate people it truly personifies the potential of music as a whole. RIP Dolores 🙏
  • Beautiful reaction.😊 Rest in sweet heavenly peace 12 y/o Timothy Parry and 3y/o Jonathan Ball. Delores made sure your lives mattered. God bless us all. ❤

    Her voice is my adolescence. Her passing broke me, I dont know how to express it.
  • I don't think people give Fergal Lawler enough credit for how dramatic the song is. His drumming sets the tone for the deepness of the song's meaning. IMO.

    I was never a huge Cranberries fan but I do like their music, however, this song and Delores's voice and keening with the content of what this song is about always hits me hard. The power in Delores' vocals and not having her here anymore makes it even more emotional. She was a special and unique talent that is missed.
  • This is such an amazing song and it still hits as hard today as it did when it came out. This song has become the victory song for the Ireland Rugby team, made up of players from both the Republic and Northern Ireland. It’s such a beautiful and emotional experience to hear a stadium full of Ireland fans singing this song as it plays over the P.A.

    She has one of the most haunting voices ever. I was a wee lad when this came out, so I was likely not paying attention to such details, but Delores is such a complex and tortured woman, as many incredible artists with something to say are. Maybe that's just hindsight being 20/20 as it often is. Their song "Ode to My Family" is one where it stands out to me. She seems to long for being a simpler person that was more content. It's sad that we don't recognize these things until it's too late.

    What I like about this song is its simplicity which adds to the grave atmosphere. The whole song is pretty much made of four chords and seems to be so on purpose so the music is just a background to the lyrics and isn't distracting. A listener can focus on words, not instruments. It is very clear what is of primary importance here. This is a very smartly written piece of music, a little masterpiece.
  • The live version of this is pure gold, the Tiny Desk set is also must watch if you love her voice and the band.
  • One of the most recognizable voices in rock in the 1990s, she was known for her lilting mezzo-soprano voice, signature yodel, emphasized use of keening, and strong Limerick accent. - wiki
  • One of the greatest songs by one of my all time favorite singers. Well done recognizing all of her vocal talents. Dolores will be missed.

    Dolores flips her voice gives the sense of pleading and crying , very difficult to do , Moreover, she curves the last part of her notes towards the higher end for a brief period and does this perfectly every single time , giving a sense of aura and mystique to the song. Really impressive .

    Ms. O'Riordan's "quiet head voice" is incredibly intimate and it draws you in as you are attempting to hear better what she is saying.
