If this song doesn't throw you back in time, no song will. Love her voice.

Dolores' incredible voice, along with the band's distinctive sound captivated me from the first listen.. They have a lot of great songs to listen to!

Do you ever listen to a song and it takes you back to a very special time in your life? This is one of those songs for me. I was still living in Ireland at the time and had the most amazing bunch of friends. I was studying for my degree and life was great. Best time of my life!

This was their breakout song off of Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We? Then Zombie came along a year later off of No Need To Argue. EVERY song on BOTH albums is amazing, which is rather rare.

That chorus omg, chills everytime

Linger was their First Hit in the States. I'm a Linger girl - No Zombie for me.

A very round sound. Impossible not to love this.

I wasn't in to vocals back in the 80's, 90's ... then heard O'Riordan and refocused.

Absolute masterpiece 👏. R.I.P Dolores

I liked your comment "I actually think I like this song better [than Zombie]" after the video. That's exactly how I felt each time I heard a song by The Cranberries I hadn't heard before. I was too young to really listen or appreciate them in the 90s and only discovered them during this pandemic while in lockdown. Zombie was the first track I heard, Linger second. I would highly recommend listening to a few more of their tracks (reacting or even just to listen offline) that all sound completely different much like this song compared to Zombie. I'd recommend Dreams next (a chorus-less song that's got tempo to it and showcases Dolores' keening style of singing). Then Ode To My Family which also presents Dolores' vocals perfectly in a slower style song. My personal favourite song When You're Gone would be my final recommendation as it's another track that's completely different to all the others I've mentioned but there's many many others too. RIP Dolores, what a wonderful voice and to think she wrote Linger as a 17 year old when joining the band shows how talented her songwriting was from such a tender age. Such an underrated band but thankfully KZfaq helps new audiences discover them to enhance the band's legacy.

Cranberries we’re such a favorite in college onward! Saw in concert Dec. 1994 at Beacon theater in NYC! Best show ever. RIP Delorea

This was their first hit on their first album. The song that MTV and college radio promoted like crazy. Delores was the talent of the band. Her magical voice, song writing, and music oriented family background. She played the church organ since she was 12 and also played guitar. The boys had only been playing for a few years at this point. RIP Delores ❤️

My three favorites are Dreams, Zombie, Twenty One. Dreams is a mini masterpiece.

Thank you Rockstar, love the way you reacted to this video, you are one of the few who didn't pause the video, thank you for that, I like when you speak during it - without pausing, wish other reactors would follow your ways, keep up the good work, love from Ireland

God I miss her. RIP Delores, RIP.

I love this song.

Love her voice

Definitely check out Dreams and Ode To My Family and maybe When You're Gone and Promises too by The Cranberries

Awesome reaction! You've 👍🏻 exquisite taste in music bc this song is divine.

Top reaction my friend the cranberries are very underrated. Zombie has a much greater meaning as its about the loss of children during the troubles in northern ireland were over 4000 people died and nearly 50,000 maimed. It is dedicated to two little boys blown up by an ira bomb in warrington england. Dolores detested all violence from all sides no matter what affiliation relegion or nationality you held.

I recommend to react to live versions of the cranberries where we can see and watch all the potential of Dolores!!!

You MUST react to their song Dreams!!!

Love this song 😍👍

So many musicians and singers from the 90s passed away before there time..but Dolores's passing a few years ago got me so emotional..what a beautiful soul

Jebus, her voice was so unique and pure, the Irish lilt is just so ethereal. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful.

Ode to family is good too. Try sinade o Conner too

Very "Art School Girlfriend" vibe. Love your reaction & honest comments! New sub. 👍✌️🙏

La instrumentación de fondo es impecable .

The first time I heard song *"Linger"* was in a movie *"Click"* Starring Adam Sandler Actually the song comes Twice in the movie The song literally became anthem of the film

It was about a boy she met at a disco. Her first real kiss that lingered. The next weekend he walked past her and went for her friend, heartbreaking!

Dolores had the voice of an angel. And now that she has passed away, she is singing with the angels of heaven. Rest in eternal peace Dolores. ❤️

'Liked'. Just on principle.

Her music and words truly live on. Peace b with u. Dolores M. E. O'Riordan

It's about her guy cheating on her and stringing her along as she stays faithful and fully devoted, he doesn't move on to let her go; he makes their relationship & lies linger.;)

RIP Dolores. Voice of an angel

Some are confused about this song. This is from Songfacts: "Dolores O'Riordan wrote this song about her feelings following the breakup with her first boyfriend, the soldier who broke her heart. She said the song is about "the way I reacted to infatuation." Delores died by drowning due to alcohol intoxication in January 2018. And, your band sounds GREAT! Really great reaction, and so right on about the music going on in the background. That is my favorite part of this song! Thank you! ✌️Power on! 😃

My favorite song from cramberries is "ode to my family ".

DREAMS next:) cranberries are LEGENDARY… RIP DOLORES

Dolores forever young!

That’s Limerick city kiiiiid

How can someone had never listened to Linger ?

Video is a imagine crossroads to real film "Alphaville"

Dolores ... a wonderful soul who went away too early. I had the chance to see the band live 25 years ago. It was a very special event for me. I also like her solo tracks very much, especially 'Black Widow'. Matt, maybe you are interested to react to that as well. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pa6hiraa3c6-h4E.html

How much beautiful music we missed because she was taken from us so early. R. I. P. Dolores As far as I know, this was a real life song. Her boyfriend lied to and betrayed her.

Can you please react to Garbage song called Magnetized Please

Sia Chandelier reaction

The Cranberries are awesome. Worth listening to not just the well known hits. There are very few tracks that aren't just as good as this. Imagine being 17 years old, cheating on your girlfriend and she write a song about your betrayal that the entire world gets to hear. Apparently he subsequently apologised. RIP Dolores.

Never believe if someone who born before year 2000 and said never hear Linger from The Cranberries

Can you please react to Poe song called Haunted. Please

I recommend you to react to the new Sabaton song called Royal Guard.

I could never understand how the video relates to the song.

Delores left us , way too soon......

Only finger and linger rhyme in this song almost

The strings get me. This song doesn’t hold a candle to W A P. By Cardi B though! Lol. Can we have a top 40 where people actually sing instead of talk and sample old songs. ?

Dreams is the best Cranberries song. Well Zombie's really but Dreams is epic!!! From an Irishman, thanks also😎❤️

Song written about the death of two children Tim Parry aged 12 and Jonathen Ball aged 3, blown up by and IRA bomb as they walked by a public bin outside McDonnald's on 26th February 1993 in Warrington England. Very Sad, Peace to us all now and forever between Ireland and the UK. And may all who died from both sides now rest in peace believing that this war between our nations is over and is gone forever.

I've rarely heard a better example of how some bands/"musicians" make it virtually impossible to discern what the singers lyrics are. This is quite awful; if your lyrics suck and you need vocals just hum.

Долорес супер,но она захотела и Вашим и нашим!поэтому её завалили!так не бывает!нужно топить за Ирландию или против!

There are basically 3 types of songs in classical pop music. 1. She loves him, but he doesn't love her. Those suck. 2. He loves her, but she doesn't love him. Sucks too. 3. She loves him and he loves her. Those are just total rubbish :D Dolores could really sing well, true, the genre is just not my cup of tea.. Cheers :)

Would be great without the “Rockstar Reacts” logo…. Ugh.

Just listened to your band. Sounds like you're trying, and failing, to copy much better bands from the 1980s, like All About Eve. Back to the drawing board.
