Thanks for doing the cranberries Jamel. Dolores went to school with my brother Liam. Rest in peace Dolores my fellow Limerick woman. 🙏

This was the song that introduced me to the Cranberries. What a wondeful voice lost way too soon.

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh there it is.... that Limerick accent. I love it when artists sing in their natural accent. So many artists over the decades sang with an "American" sound rather than their own and then when you hear them do interviews or whatever it's quite a shock. RIP Delores, you will always be missed and the world will always be sadder without your heaven sent voice.

My wife of 30 years passed away in January 2021 and this was one of her favorite bands so hearing this song is both happy and sad as it brings back memories of her. I believe this was the song that brought them into the limelight.

Their voices, music and rhythm are like the falling rain, at first tenderly , then it becomes the raging storm by the messages of their songs…. and so universal ! It’s such a poetry of different emotions! Such unique talents , the Cranberries…I miss them!

This is one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. The voice, the strings, all of it. This takes be back to Senior year in college.

"Ode to My Family" was another hit for them!

Probably my favorite Cranberries song? Makes me choke up and cry a little, it’s beautiful and organized so well

Easily in my top 25 favorite songs and I am a 51 year old man. Her voice killed it. She was a baby and tried out for this band. They told her to write something and come back. This was what she wrote. Now this band brought it together but she is an angel in a choir. Love.

This whole album is a killer, I listened to it for weeks - my wife would laugh at me when I tried to sing her "keening:" parts.

I love the Cranberries! Such a touch of class all the way!

One of the best songs of the 90s.

I was lucky enough to see the Cranberries in concert. Delores was amazing live! R.I.P.

"Ode to My Family" is probably my favorite song of theirs and the music video is one of the best of the 90's imo.

No, no video could do the song or her voice justice. Dang, this really takes me back to my senior year and introduction to adulthood, finding out who I really am and finding the love of my life. I can remember, not having cable TV, so no MTV. I just fell in absolute love with her voice. I imagined a real beauty and I was correct. She's one of my favorite female vocalists, along with the Wilson sisters from Heart. I don't even know why I'm differentiating here, the three of them are probably my favorite vocalists, period. Such a tragedy that such an angelic voice was taken from us far too soon.

Love the Cranberries! So glad you're reacting to more of their music, Jamel.

Absolutely adore her voice! Thank you for reacting to The Cranberries! 😽💋🎶

After 70's and 80's rock that I grew up, with this style of Alternative type music was the next step in my musical evolution...Some great over-looked music from the 90's.

Such a powerful song. That orchestra s fantastic! Thanks Jamel.

I love the sound of Irish women singing voices they are very Angelic

Hello Sir, Thank you for reacting to Cranberries and Delores' amazing voice. She had such a unique and mesmerizing voice. I really liked the To the Faithful Departed album with I Am Still Remembering as a deep cut gem.

Goosebumps everytime

Voice of a angel! Rest In Peace Deloris your music helped me thru some tough times as a young man felt it in my soul thank you!

I really miss her music. They came up to popularity while I was a teen. I just "knew" that I'd have a lifetime of cool songs coming from her. But I am thankful for what she did give the world in her young life.

Dolores was so talented. RIP 🙏

Extremely grateful you're persisting, brother, against all the discouraging actions of copyright holders or whoever. It's gotta be hard, but we hold out hope for you to hold on, triumph, and get through. Thank, you, Jamel.

My favorite by the Cranberries ❤️

One of the great timeless songs of the 90s. Her voice, the strings, the arrangement, it’s just so perfect. RIP Dolores.

My favourite Cranberries song is "No Need To Argue". Such a beautiful, haunting song.

Gahhh thanks for doing this one Jamel! It’s a masterpiece and makes me cryyyyyy! As soon as I hear that intro and her beautiful hum I get chills. The lyrics are too real. So much to love! RIP Dolores a voice like no other!

This is a top 5 song of the 90s for me, along with Fields of Gold, Losing My Religion, Interstate Love Song, and Lightning Crashes.

Always loved this song! is so beautiful, emotional and sung in her lovely accent - a true gem from the 90's

Also, country music had its roots in Irish and Scottish (and some English) settlers bringing over their traditional folk songs. From there you get bluegrass, and from there you get country. The chord progressions end up being fairly similar across all of those musical groupings. Blues would also be related just based on chord structure as well.

Interesting that you reacted to this song today, or at least posted it today. I heard it on the way to work this morning on Sirus XM. It was a little sad to listen to may she RIP. It also took me back to an interesting time in my life when this song came out. This song is so calming in some way despite the lyrics describing a negative situation. Like many other comments in here another great Cranberries song that really proclaims her voice is the song “Ode to my Family”.

Delores had a beautiful voice - kind of ethereal. Plus her Irish accent is just the right spice to make it perfect.

LOVE THIS SONG! -San Francisco fan girl

i love this song…it’s always on my road trip playlist

AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL AND GIFTED YOUNG LADY...TAKEN TOO TOO TOO YOUNG FROM THE WORLD....REMARKABLE YOUNG LADY....RIP DOLORES... YOU ARE LOVED...

I love her voice and this song from the first time that I heard it. 😁

Such a fantastic song and band. I remember when it first came out and was all over the radio and we used to substitute “did you have to let it linger” with “did you have to smell your finger”

Oh man, how I miss every single thing about the 90’s! Even and especially myself 💞

She is one of my favorite female singers of all time. She is the voice of my college years in the city, and every time I hear The Cranberries I can close my eyes and I'm back in Chicago in the 90s, on a fall evening, listening to Dolores with a drink and a cigarette. Also, do more Depeche Mode!

Jamel, your pronunciation of Depeche Mode was exactly right!

I looooove her, I could listen to the Cranberries all day.

LOVE the Cranberries! Great alternative 90s! They don't have a bad song! Awesome!

F1rst!!!! Wow. This is a blast from the early 90s. Zowey! Such a new sound for the time; at least it felt like a new sound.

I see so many videos and people commenting on Dolores beautiful voice. I love her voice too, but she’s more than that. She played a major part in writing this song, and writing songs for the band. She’s not just a singer, she’s a songstress, a storyteller, a balladeer, a comfort to so many people around the world. Her and the cranberries, one of the most beautiful bands in my own personal world.

Jamal, your analysis of this song has me in tears. I have been that fool, but those days are gone. Thanks for helping see I was not the only one.

This was my heartbreak song in the 90s. It played constantly on MTV. I still brace myself a little before listening to it all these years later. Her voice is so special and so missed.

I still can't believe she's gone. My wife was a big Cranberries fan and she naturally turned me into a fan as well. I bought my wife one of Delores' solo-effort CD's for Christmas several years apart. The world lost an angel when she passed away waaaaaaay too early.

Jamel she does a beautiful duet of Ave Maria with Pavarotti.

This is it. One of my TOP 10 songs of all time.

We called it a shoe string. Such a beautiful dreamy voice! RIP Dolores!

This is my FAVORITE song from them. This song was the reason I bought the tape to play in my car all those years ago. ❤️

This is an all timer. Incredible songwriting and vocals.

I was devastated when i heard the news she passed away, it hit me hard. Im not one to usually get upset at a " celebrity's " death, but this one rocked me. I grew up with The Cranberries, even saw them live, she was such a powerhouse vocalist, and she was a tiny woman, but had one hell of a voice. I still get sad when i hear her singing, but love her voice so much. RIP Delores.

Another iconic Irish female led group are The Corrs, you should react to their song ‘Runaway’ 👍…….if KZfaq will let you 😂

This is nostalgia in my ears. Every time I hear that intro it takes me back to when I would hear this on the radio. I am grateful for a mother that introduced me to so many different artists and influenced my love for music in general

The song is from the early 90s but I assume the video was uploaded 13 years ago. This is one of my faves along with Ode to my Family. Def check that out

Simply stunning in every way

Thanks Jamel for preserving the legacy of Dolores and the Cranberries

I love the cranberries! The lead singer's voice is just so incredible. I love watching your reactions

Love the Cranberrys may she R.I.P.

Dude, your videos give me such joy! Thanks so much for listening to such a wide range of music and having such a positive response to the variety

This song is from the early 90s really cool song 1993 I think

"Dreams" is also a good song.

When You’re Gone is also one of my favorites from them.

Very Well Put...That was a Great Reaction!! 😭😭 My Heart's Broken from the Loss of Dolores!! 💔💔 She was AMAZING and is Sorely Missed!! RIP our ANGEL!! ❤️

This is my all time fave of the Cranberries. A truly gorgeous song by a beautiful lady. We all miss you Dolores 😢

Not a lot of songs get to me, but this goes to the sinew and through the bone, piercing heart and soul. The lyrics are touching and heartfelt, then you add the orchestration and her vocals, then the chorus with her soaring background vocals. The song is beyond surreal and sublime.

She had a very haunting voice. Smooth and pure.

This really takes me back to my senior year of undergrad and jamming to the Cranberries with a buddy I had a big crush on. He tragically ended up passing away from cancer 12 years later. RIP Izzy

Jamel ..you have a very good taste of music. Greetings from north Africa

love the cranberries, such a beautiful and unique voice 💚🎧🎶

I was just leaving work and heard on the radio Delores died. I pulled over and cried a bit. Then drove to a bar and played Cranberries songs. Everyone at the tavern was bummed when they heard. She was so very loved by millions i think😢❤️❤️❤️. But I'm happy to have been here to hear it.

Thanks for listening to my favorite Band!🥰🥰🥰🙏 Your reaction to it is fun to watch!☺😊

Thanks Jamel , much appreciated 🙏, RIP Dolores 😔

This is the song that made me love the band

This song takes me back to some very fond memories. This song gives me such a relaxed and peaceful feeling, such a beautiful song and a phenomenal voice. Grand is the perfect word. 🥰

“Ode to my family” by the Cranberries ,”When Youre gone” or “No need to argue” all showcase Dolores stunning vocals , timeless, RIP Dolores 🥰

Literally everyone loves this song. That’s how you know it’s a true masterpiece☘️

This song always tore my teenage soul up!

RIP Dolores. Voice of an angel

Delores' voice was so amazing and she will aways be missed by those who loved her and her talents!

Thanks Jamel. I loved the Cranberries. This has that marching drum beat (if thats what it's called) and the bass is definitely providing more rhythm, there's the effects that elevate it. Perfect intrusions of lead guitar. A great arrangement and mood

Great song written or borne from songwriter-singer and instrumentation-music composer Delores Riordan's heart. Cranberries reached great success. But the after-hear or aftertaste there's no doubt sadness soaks in.

Irish singers always have such heartfelt voices.

You have to remember that the dates you are looking at are the video posting dates. KZfaq is only 17 years old, so even if the video is much older than that, the date will always be within the last 17 years. This song is almost 30 years old, Jamel.

Several months ago I believe you reacted to Rick Beato's reason why he felt today's music is bad and this song is a great example of the stark contrast between pop/mainstream music then and pop/mainstream music now. There's a lot of beautiful things going on with "Linger" and I really can't remember the last time I found a mainstream song "beautiful". I can't imagine what "Linger" would sound like today if they tried to compress the audio like producers do with a lot of songs or the need for the artist to scream at the top of their lungs as if musical dynamics were an afterthought.

One of my fav songs. Reminds me of my carefree 20’s new love with my husband. Late nights ! Good times. Music 🎶 does that to us.

She's a beautiful lady and a voice of an angel

A once in a lifetime singer. RIP our beautiful Dolores 🇮🇪☘️❤️

You nailed it! I have a loved one going through it right now. Thanks for having the meaning of the lyrics down to a T!

Thank you Jamal! I’ve been working a lot of hours and have missed so many videos, but I’m trying to catch up. Love your channel Brother.

I still get emotional when i hear her beautiful voice!

The moment that I heard "Dreams" on the radio, which was their first song, I fell in love with her voice. I went out the next day and bought the album. Then I heard "Linger" and I was a fool for Delores. She had me wrapped around her finger.

Dolores O'Riordan wrote this song in a week when she was about 21. Imagine being that young and having this inside you. Great song. RIP, Dolores.

This is my favorite Cranberries song. She had an amazing voice. So sad that she passed away so young.

This was basically my anthem back in the day.

Gorgeous voice. This song gives me shivers and takes me on a journey…musically, lyrically, emotionally. Beautiful song. And the nostalgia of my early teens.
