My daughter played this song in her room every morning before school. She's been moved out for twenty years and now lives far away in Alaska. But when I hear this song, she's still in her room getting ready for school. RIP Delores!!!

*Rest in peace Dolores.* 🍀

Felt like a privilege growing up listening to the Cranberries early 1990s

I love the way she lets her accent into her brilliant vocals.

Gotta smile that she ever existed rather than cry she's gone

The Earth is 4.5 billion years old... In all that time, we could have ended up anywhere, but somehow we all managed to be here at the same time as Delores O'Riordan! Man, how lucky are we!

It's been 3 years since Dolore's departure, and I still can't believe it nor accept it. I grew up listening to her precious music. She meant the world to me when I was like 15 or 16. When I was down, she was always there to give me a hand and something to believe in through her music. Dolores had an unparallaled talent. I love many female artists from many different genres, but Dolore's the only one that deserves the title of The greatest female artist of the last 3 decades. Her voice, the way she shared so many feelings and profound ideas through her songs, that unique essence she had... Always be remembered and always the best for me.

I think she has one of the most stunning voices in the history of recording !

She was so beautiful

My favorite female rock vocalist of all time. RIP Delores. You are missed.

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the voice that leads men to battle and creates obsession for when we are not at war.

I spent 3.5 years in a penitentiary in the mid 90s . This beautiful soul sung me to sleep nightly . Thank you

damn, she was especially gorgeous here...

The tears begin before a single lyric...what I wouldn’t give for five minutes to tell her how much she was loved....

Everybody and their Mother talks about how great Zombie is but for me, this was her/The Cranberries best song. So sad and yet so beautiful! R.I.P. Dolores Thank you for this song!

The most beautiful voice I've ever had the privilege to hear.

You had all of us wrapped around your finger! We all love you, & you will forever be missed...

2020 and still can't believe she is gone. RIP Dolores, you will always be in my heart and the sound track to my youth. much love

My opinion, one of a kind, no other Woman could sing as good as she did. She had the voice of an angel. Now she is one rest in peace Delores.

Miss Dolores and this beautiful song that represents both pain and hope in the '90's. May we all pray rest her beautiful soul.

May she rest in peace and sing with the angels for eternity

Linger always makes me want to cry.

Her voice just touches your soul.

A deep feeling of melancholy gets me whenever a listen to Dolores' voice. Gone too soon. Few voices like hers were so recognizable from the very first tune uttered. She'll be missed 4EVER.

Her voice is so wonderful. She'll be singing in heaven

An angel got her wings today 😭

I miss these days with the Cranberries. I was a teenager with some difficult times in the 90's. This band helped me get through those days and I can't believe Delores is gone. 😢 The Cranberries will still be one of my favorite bands even in 2023 😊

Dolores had a unique and angelic voice that no one will ever replicate. So sad she left too soon.

That Voice.. So soft it sounds like angels singing.

I love Delores. Her voice from heaven.

Is it silly that I still cry over the loss of Dolores? How is it possible that her music can touch the very core of me and she not ever know who I am. I don't think she really had any idea of just how much she meant to us. She makes me proud to be an Irish American. Due to Zombie, I read up and educated myself on the history of my homeland and it made me cry. People should not have to die over their choice of religion. My mother was a Lynch and could possibly be descended from hero Liam Lynch. I wish nothing but peace and prosperity for my motherland of Ireland. I'm proud to be your son.

dolores with long hair and a beautiful smile. thank you.

This is one of those rare gems of a song that is absolutely perfect.

I remember 1993 feeling so lost and so uncomfortably introverted and lost in my world until people like Gin Blossoms, Toad the Wet Sprocket, Soul Asylum, and Cranberries drifted into my life. Then I felt synchronicity. Then I felt "normal".

RIP sweet Dolores. You left us far too soon, but your beautiful, mesmerizing voice and beauty will Linger in our hearts for all time. ✝️☮❤🇮🇪🍀

What a talent. Instrument and voice. Even in 2024 we miss you. RIP 😢

The cranberries "everybody else is doing it so why can't we?" was the first CD that I ever bought, and I have been listening to their music since I was 12 years old. I honestly can't say I've ever felt such a strong connection about any other band in my life. I will always treasure and love their music my whole life through, I'm sure of it.

RIP you sweet voiced little thing you. Saw you twice live back in the 90s. So good.

My daughter passed from brain cancer aged 9. The one song she asked me to make sure was played at her funeral was this..i did as she requested..it still hurts but also celebrates her..thank Dolores and take care of her until i arrive ❤

My brother just passed away at 50 from a possible heart attack he was a combat navy veteran I'm a disabled combat army veteran and I had her music played at his funeral last week I can't listen to her music without crying I'm 47 so we were pretty close brothers I'm lost because I feel lost living alone now 😢 💔 😔

Dolores you changed my life. Nothing moves me like you do.

I love the way she pronounces every letter in every word and with an Irish accent. Rest in peace.

Another beautiful Irish artist. We love you Dolores and always will. Forever remembered in Dublin 🇮🇪💙🇮🇪

Such a beautiful singer and loss. So majestic and angelic, her voice....she is missed.

if god could pick one woman to sing for the rest of eternity i want it to be dolores..she is a beautiful woman with a voice that can move mountains and travel across galaxies

Goddamn 90’s driving down PCH blasting this thanks Dolores!

The Cranberries....90s! My teenage years. We didn't have cell phones, just the radio and riding around in cars with friends. I miss her so much! I know there were more great songs from her hands.... I ❤️ love you, Dolores.

I apparently saw this a while ago because I see I already "liked" a bunch of comments. This performance still makes me cry. She was so wonderful and here for far too short a time. Beautiful, loved, wonderful.

They can take my man card I don't give a shit I can't stop bawling my eyes out. Rest in peace Dolores. I still can't believe you're gone. Thank you so much for so many floods of memories in my teenage years. Your voice never failed to soothe my heart when it was troubled and always gave me goose bumps... that beautiful and mesmerizing voice! We miss you soooooooo much. 😥😥😥😥😥😥😥💜💜💜💋

Delores was a beautiful person, rest in peace. I miss her.

She's so tiny. I love Dreams & Linger. And what an angelic voice. She is beautiful. Miss her.

Still searching cranberries in 2023, rest in piece sweetheart ❤

This is the first time I cry from a singer's death. The first song I played on my guitar was from the cranberries, this one especifically, and I just loved her. I feel so much pain :'( Edit: Thank you for the answers! So many people feeling this way. It has almost been 1 year. I have finally had the courage to sing it live, and I have uploaded the video on my channel (2 videos out of 3, are covers from the cranberries, this song included). I hope you look around and let me know what you think ❤

Never just wanted to give a stranger who was no longer with us a hug so badly

Video makes it hard to believe people are gone. She was gone too soon. She was one of a kind.

RIP Delores. You had the most amazing voice. Thank you for all the music that carries on to this day.

Wow. She gets better looking with age!

You know I heard this saying when I was so very Young and in my life of now 62 plus years, it has proven time and time again to be so very true - 'Only The Good Die Young' - So True - D was such an enormous talent - we whom she left behind have the fortune of being able to cherish the music she gifted to us.

She sung me to sleep every night when I was at sea. RIP, Angel.

Her voice is so soothing . Like an angel singing ❤

Always loved Dolores, that long brunette hair just seals the deal.

RIP Dolores. You had a special voice and a special beauty.

100 years later everyone of us here will be forgotten, but she will still be known.

You’ve been much loved Dolores and terribly missed proud Irish girl.

She was a breathtaking beauty in every way.. Rip sweet lady. Go well.

One the most beautiful and talented women

This song is getting me through a really hard loss. I relate to all the lyrics and I’ve been the man she’s singing about and now I’m the character who’s singing. Ironically painful

RIP Dolores O'Riordan. Thanks for some great music.

Song Bird sang her way to heaven. Rest in Peace may your voice live forever... I was 10 when I first heard The Cranberries growing up I was always a little different I didnt limit myself to 1 genre of music and "Linger" well stayed in the back of my head as 1 of the first songs that opened my soul to something new. Going to share this with my daughter. Thank You 💚

RIP you made my life so much better

I first heard the Cranberries during my first trip to Ireland in 1994. They were THE band that year. A year later, they were big in Europe. Now what's interesting is that I was thinking about the Cranberries about an hour prior to seeing this on KZfaq. Thank you so much and RIP Dolores. You will never be forgotten.

I thought the world of you and your voice when I was young...and 30 years later...still feel exactly the same. Your face, your style, your sound, your accent, absolutely everything...One of a kind...Still sad that you're gone...

She is so naturally stunning in every way. A truly beautiful soul.

Rip beauty girl celtic girl

goosebumps... what an incredible voice... RIP Dolores... we miss you

I still can't believe she's gone, such a loss, absolutely unique sound she had

She's a badass

When a song can make you tear up you know it’s something special.

I see her smiling and I still cannot believe she is not with us...Her songs will live forever!

100% authentic. World is less without her.

The spirit remains alive.

Wow!! Love this version and Dolores does get more beautiful as she gets older. What a voice!!

My daughter is 21, and her music taste is eclectic. She has found some of my youtube play lists. and this is up there with the very best. I just love introducing her to absolute class.

My absolute favorite version of this song! She was so amazing and she will always be remembered but never forgotten 👍

This woman was absolutely beautiful, as beautiful as her voice!!!!!!!! RIP in peace and fly high beautiful lady..xoxox

She hasn't change and her music will always move you. Now and forever.

Never will we have such a unique voice in music....................You may not have been a fan of the cranberries, but if you grew up in the 90's and 2000's you knew immediately it was the cranberries the minute Dolores began singing. I will always be a fan, as their songs transport me back to my teenage years and always will.

It's clear by now that I'll never get over her passing. I would've fallen for Dolores even if I never knew what she looked like. Once I saw her it was over for sure 💔

when i feel sad about my brother i listen to dolores, i m still sad but there s a small ray of sunlight

Beautiful song beautiful voice , such a beautiful woman - Johan Marais South Africa

Every Day i get older the more i appreciate her.

Been with my wife since high school,though we had some very rough roads along the way,we managed to stay together and at times barely by a string. Hearing this song brought back sooo many good memories from those days in the 90s. And you know what?! I still get those tingles when I’m around her like when we were in high school but,don’t tell her. Can’t believe how 32yrs have flown by. Thank you for everything and you’ll always keep that key to my heart….I love you Steph!

The most beautiful voice in the world

I love how her songs meant so much without having to say it out loud. That is why so many people feel grieving from her death, she talked about sadness, pain, love, pleasure and happiness in her songs. I cried a lot when I heard the news, because she's been such an important part of my teenage Years. Through her music I survived dépressions, she took care of me like a mother and by making my pain hers through her voice, did heal me and lighten my burden in those times. So Dolorès, thanks for talking softly to my ears when everything around was just painful and meaningless... You'll live within us forever. Love.

She’s an absolute angel😭😭😭😭😭

Some are just too big for this world. Delores was such a spirit and I pray she lives forever in the ether where we all shall meet again. That voice is too angelic to be silenced.

Coming out of the break and back into the last chorus, you can see her fight back that smile you only get when you hit the harmony perfectly like they did. Great performance for sure

Lord, thank you for blessing us with your daughter who was a person with such a warm and distinctive voice.

I’ve been trying to find a word to describe her voice. Haunting. I could listen all day. RIP, Delores.

Love her voice! Takes me back to high school listening to her! I have been listening to this song on repeat for days now here and there and I never get sick of it 💓 Rest easy Dolores!
