"Zombie" by The Cranberries is an iconic alternative rock song that was released in 1994 as the lead single from their second studio album, "No Need to Argue." The song was written by the band's lead vocalist Dolores O'Riordan, who drew inspiration from the 1993 IRA bombing in Warrington, England, which resulted in the deaths of two young boys. The bombing deeply affected O'Riordan and led her to write "Zombie" as a powerful protest song against violence and the ongoing conflict in Northern Ireland. The track itself is characterized by its distinctive and hard-hitting sound, blending grunge and alternative rock elements with O'Riordan's haunting and impassioned vocals. The song's lyrics convey a strong anti-war message, addressing the dehumanizing effects of violence and the futile cycle of revenge. The chorus, with its memorable chant-like repetition of the word "zombie," serves as a metaphorical representation of the dehumanized state caused by war and conflict. "Zombie" became a worldwide hit, reaching the top of the charts in several countries, including Australia, Belgium, France, and Germany. Its success can be attributed not only to its catchy melody and powerful instrumentation but also to its resonant and timely message during a period of heightened political tension and violence in the world. The song's impact extends beyond its commercial success. "Zombie" is often regarded as one of the most iconic protest songs of the 1990s, with its poignant lyrics and emotional delivery making it a rallying cry against violence and a call for peace. O'Riordan's impassioned vocals and the band's raw energy contributed to the song's lasting appeal, solidifying it as a staple in The Cranberries' discography and a significant contribution to the alternative rock genre. Unfortunately, Dolores O'Riordan passed away in January 2018 at the age of 46, leaving behind a musical legacy that includes timeless tracks like "Zombie." The song continues to resonate with listeners, serving as a reminder of the enduring power of music to convey social and political messages while captivating audiences with its artistic prowess.

I was those kids' age when i was growing up in Belfast with the troubles all around me. That video affects me to this day and what an immense tune! Nice reaction

Those vocalizations of pain are called “ keening” in Ireland - typical of mourning. She also uses the traditional Irish singing style called “ Sean Nos “ which has beautiful ornamentations. ❤😊 You are adorable as usual! ❤

Your compassion and appreciation for this incredible song is very refreshing. I enjoyed your reaction my man.

Thanks for this ,Dolores O Riordain ,the pride of Ireland , we were so blessed by her voice ,RIP.This song focuses on the decades of war in the North of Ireland 🇮🇪 and occupation by the British resulting in countless lives lost including children sadly during the troubles,the footage in this video is actual footage shot in the North of Ireland portraying the young ones trying to live in the midst of war, even as they play they are clearly consumed by it.

When u know the backstory and listen it changes the song. If you want a couple more of their popular songs, listen to linger and ode to my family

Ohhhh I loved your reaction to this. I get why you stand. When I watch the last quarter of a game, I stand up. Too much energy ❤ Dolores made sure the drummer POUNDED those drums for this.

This is a protest song that Dolores O'Riordan wrote after bombs planted in Warrington, England by the Irish Republican Army exploded, killing 2 young boys who had gone to buy Mother's Day cards.

One of my all-time favorite songs, especially to sing. She's so unique and always tells a story witb her music. This is about "The Troubles" in Ireland during the 1990s.

Thanks Dave. I love the Cranberries even though they make me cry. RIP Dolores. ❤😢

A YOUNG ONE THAT VIBES WITH REAL MUSIC??? OMFG.... JUST SUBBED for some more real music

your Zombie reaction video is the best i've seen, seriously! I love the song and her voice, it's really amazing how much it moves me literally and emotionally every time i hear it. thank you for your video!!!!💯💯💯

'Since 1916' is the bit that always get me

Loved you’re reaction to this. The singer was an absolute gift. Thanks for what you do. May your views and likes always be equal.

Her name is Delores. If I'm not mistaken, it's a protest song to the civil war in Ireland and the IRA. A few years back a rock band Bad Wolves was doing a cover to tgis song. Delores was supposed to come in and record with them, but suddenly died the day before. They finished the song and dedicated it to her. You should really check out that tribute!

Dolores O'Riordan, from Limerick, Ireland, of The Cranberries, (fabulous singer/songwriter in the 90's), wrote this anti-war song, when hearing of 2 innocent kids were killed in the Ireland war in the early 90's., From a bomb. It's a song in our world of war that will always be relevant. She died accidentally in a London Hotel room bathtub, after drinking too much. She suffered from ptsd, and bi-polar, I believe.

Lead singer is Delores o Riordan, she died in 2018 with her cause of death being drowning due to alcohol intoxication

Dolores O'Riordan. We lost her way too soon. It's a song about how trauma from violence is handed down from generation to generation and it turns you into a zombie.

BABY GIRL... RIP DOLORES

Your reaction is the one I've been looking for!!!!! You reacted just like me! A total visceral and soulful movement was felt from this powerful song. I'm so glad you shared this. I've seen so many reactions to this video where people just sit there and kind of not their heads but you reacted like me and I'm so happy to see that!

Ireland fighting for our country back against the British.. 1916 was a pivotal year for Ireland.. and its still going on today

Dave, what a beautiful, honest reaction, Dolores RIP was an Irish gem and sadly missed. Thank you again, please pray for the people in Gaza etc. tonight, peace and love from Ireland

Love ya dog thank you for recognizing ✊

The first 3 comments summed it up from what you don't know. Read the comments for a brief history lesson you never received and until you saw this video, you never would have.

Love it pal, the explanation is in the comments of the good people below.

Just found you. Love your reaction to an amazing song. Love from Ireland ❤❤

R.I.P. Delores. You are missed.

the singers name is Dolores Oreardan she passed away in 2018 she is Irish and was singing about the ethnic cleansing in Ireland for Catholicism

This is a PERFECT song. There are few songs that are absolutely perfect. This is one of them. The music. The lyrics. The guitars. The voice. The message. The history and meaning. Everything.

She is one of a kind. And I could only dream of rocking that bleach blond pixie cut. But I love your reaction. It’s a powerful song and it brought you to tears even though you were kind of missing the most shocking part of the video (that’s not a jab. It’s a testament to its power). She later performed this to thousands with a full live orchestra. That’s crazy.

Her name is Dolores Riordan (RIP). The song is about the conflict between paramilitaries in Northern Ireland, the IRA and loyalist forces such as the UVF/UFF, commonly known as "the troubles" (google that for more). That is the imagery you are shown in the first third of the video. More specifically the song was a protest to ALL violence in Northern Ireland, which was recorded after an IRA bombing in England killed two children. The band recorded this shortly after. The violence mostly ended in 1998, with the signing of the Good Friday agreement. President Clinton played a big role in this. You should look up the history if you are interested.

Dolores O'Riordan, sadly no longer with us. It's primarily about the Troubles in Ireland, but also the wider Anglo-Irish conflict which had gone on for over 800 years.

She is Dolores O'Riordan sadly she has now lost her lire, just a member of the band. The song is about the militias fighting in Northern Ireland and the loss of childhood innocence from 1970 to 1999. The British army tried to act as peacekeepers but got drawn into the fighting. Check out the history of 'The Troubles' in N Ireland between the IRA (Irish Republican Army) and the Protestant militias such as the UVF Ulster Volunteer Force). I was lucky enough to see the band at a festival and they were fantastic and Dolores was full of life and huge energy.

Its about this point you realise that a few hundred thousand British people will watch your reactions to Ireland and British music.

RIP Dolores, Ireland misses you dearly

Old school music is best... 80s,90 and 00s have best music 👌👌👌

Wow. Her name WAS Deloris O'Rourke. And I totally agree w/u. This song is about the IRA bombings of 1993 if I'm not mistaken but u probably figured that out by now. Love u dude. U hv such good taste in music

Loved this song since it came out when I was in elementary school

very emotional

I love your reviews , I hope this one don't blocked. If you really like her voice try "Linger" and "Dreams" by the Cranberries. They are softer though. Bad Wolves does an excellent cover/tribute to this song - its so good. ❤

Omg she's responding to you ❤

The lyrics refer to the year 1916. That was the year of the Easter Rebellion, which was the event that resulted in the formation of the Irish Republican Army and the beginning of The Troubles, a time when more than 3500 people were killed, and tens of thousands of people were killed.

thanks for sharing

It’s about the violence in Northern Ireland between the British government and the IRA(Irish Republican Army) with the Irish fighting for Northern Ireland being reunified with Ireland to be whole, but it’s also talking about the needless bloodshed but because the British empire doesn’t want to let go it still goes on

R.i.p dolores 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦

Dolores O’Riordan - it’s about The Troubles, the British occupation of Ireland for over a century. Ireland is still a divided country with the larger, independent Republic of Ireland primarily to the south, and Northern Ireland which is part of the United Kingdom of Great Britain. The Republic is predominantly Catholic and the north is predominantly Protestant.

She is Dolores O'riordan

It will mean a whole lot more when you read up on the history of the English treatment of the Irish

If you make a point of checking out the Irish bands and singers youre gonna make an equation which you will get ! Where there has been oppression and trauma the best music rises

vibing like a yt girl in the 90s, I love it 😎

awsome :)

Definitely check out Promises, you'd love it, Ridiculous Thoughts and Salvation also. Other than that, Dreams, Linger, Ode To My Family, When You're Gone, Animal Instinct, Just My Imagination, Analyse, Stars, This Is The Day and Never Grow Old, Compete Gems by The Cranberries

Bad Wolves cover next!

“Creep” Radiohead 🔥🔥

Rip my love

So Beautiful.

It’s all about the Irish civil war. Right now there is a cease fire. The peace is holding, so far. Since 1916.

STOP ALL WARS

RIP Delores, gone way to early

Great reaction ! She is dead now, RIP for a great singer. But I like your T-shirt by the way

I have a good from Sweden. Avatar Bloody angel

LOVE LOVE your channel so much! I so want you to hear Primus song Jerry Was a Race Car Driver!!! If you love guitar; this will blow your mind sir! Different, weird but also amazing and I'm sure we can all agree here that your reaction to them will be amazing indeed.

she's not alive bro ty

Now do Bad Wolves!

I lived through this is about the war in Ireland, hate and we were teenagers when this was happening as scared, she was from the South and she wrote this song against her own people, we are at peace now, thanks to our generation we did not want the hate, though some people try to keep it going but not for the same reasons, a lot of people died in this civil war.

Do the bad wolves cover of zombie.

Где реакции на певцов из России? Где реакция на нашего Шамана?

Is your tshirt Naruto about to sit on a plug? 😂😂

Sorry bro...she died 2018

The song is about a killing from a bombing that killed Irish children. The whole message of the the song though is about the IRA vs the British and how it should stop. Unfortunately, the singer is dead 😢 (RIP)

My ask is simple. Find a woman singer with similar voice and have Metallica back the music live without any prior notice and see what happens.

She died unfortunately

You got the musicality, but missed the message.

Short answer UK imperialism

I think your place is haunted ...

Live from your kitchen? Lol

Her name was doroles o riordain she died a few years ago and it’s about sectarian violence in the north of Ireland which is occupied territory by the British , it should be part of the Republic of Ireland and in many ways that point of view makes me a zombie

It’s sad that the singer committed suicide when she was in LA to record a cover of this song with the band Bad Wolves

Religion has been the cause of the greatest loss of life in history by far!!!

You just don't get it do you?
