I played this cassette tape over and over while painting the outside of my house. 3 weeks before, My Dad had died of a heart attack. Today, I still remember the smell of the paint, the warmth of the sun. Oh how I cried through all the work. Miss him and miss Delores. Life is too short! She was a unique soul, as was my Dad.
Getting old is certainly a bittersweet feeling, one of the pleasure of life I guess the memory of what is and what could have been and knowing you are better for it and still not dead, joie de vivre till I'm dead, and young people get off my lawn.
It’s not a rite of passage for success, not really. It’s an all to common fate for artists. They feel more intensely than a lot of us, and that intensity can fuel both their creative output and the anguish that they carry with them in most of their waking moments. Nobody gets hooked on alcohol or opioids or cocaine or anything else because they’re happy, healthy, and feeling well. Rest in peace, Delores. Thank you so much for the gifts you gave the world.
I loved when things weren't so polished, high-def, and slick. The Cranberries were incredible and they sound REAL, not over-produced and pristine like many acts today. Love the humanity in their sound. RIP Delores.
The 90's offered such a wealth of music for every taste. If you're old enough (like me), you miss these simple live performances on US comedy shows. Artists performed the hits but usually put their own spin on it. A sympathetic and encouraging host awaited them. Great end to the evening. RIP Dolores, we love you.
What happens when you are in your mid teens during this era is, the music removes the ability to be taken over by later malware. All this emerging music in the '90s was like heroin. I truly believe it was the golden era of music.
@@Jrup2110 agree, it takes a very unique and beautiful voice to make a simple song sound complicated. There are some vocalists these days who have great voice, AURORA for example, but she makes different type of music, no one makes 90s ethereal music anymore but I hope they make similar stuff in the future
Her voice in those early years was pure instinctive magic. So much character and soul. Cuts right through to the core of things. From way down. Phenomenal.
This takes me back to the 90s. Being a teenager and heading to school on those cold Denver mornings in the back of a Plymouth valiant that smelled like my grandparents. Being "forced" to listen to the cranberries on repeat by my older sister as she drove along and sang. Wouldn't know how great I had it. I'm 43 tomorrow, I was 15 then. Feels just like yesterday. Thanks for the memories. Cheers.
good share, i had plymouth scamp with a straight 6 in the 80's, that probably smelled like your grandparents : ) I learned about the cranberries in 94 ish. They have a piece of me still to this day
There's an abundant array of incredible music out there now. You won't find it on award shows nor mainstream radio but if you search hard you'll discover that musical talent has not diminished. It's just hiding from what is now considered pop music.
@@Chief_Brody I think he means he’s bummed out that she died. He’s using hyperbole. Are you not bummed out that David Bowie or Prince died? Same thing here.
I was in the audience at this performance by The Cranberries on the Jon Stewart Show. It was indeed 1993, and I'm pretty sure October 29, 1993 so exactly 30 years ago. R.I.P.+P. Dolores!
One of the biggest losses and biggest gifts in the musical world, I am so sorry for the ones who were close to her and knew her personally, her voice is magical.
The control and subtlety of her voice in that intro is so beautiful and so close to you, like she’s embracing you and singing right into your ear. She’s a being of pure love. Always in my heart.
She was a great, great songwriter, pouring her heart onto the page, and then singing from the heart. Yes, I can certainly relate to being "a fool", for a few. And it lingered. I love how her Irish accent creeps into the vocals, and then some seemingly Gaelic vocalization mid song. Enchanting. So incredibly sad that she killed herself with alcohol. That sadness you can hear in her voice was, apparently, in her heart as well.
Since I was a tiny child I was in love with this beautiful and talented lady, thanks for all the love. You will always have a special place in my heart
Man, I miss Dolores O'riordan" such a beautiful lady, small in size, she had the heart of a Lion, small petite lady, but full of courage to go out there and sing her beautiful voice around the world, she has left her mark and she will not be forgotten, including her humble talented bandmates who I can only imagine how much they all miss Dolores" God Bless Her"
Civilisation is saved by Ireland, Jamaica and Tibet, three little countries and such a huge outsized impact on civilisation, music, literature, spirituality and sport xx
Oh my gosh. She sounds very nervous. I’m guessing she’s around 21 in this & it’s one of her first appearances on American tv. Watch their 1999 Paris Concert to see them in their prime
Simply iconic...Dolores is/was one of the top female voices of the 20th and 21st century. How they are not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is black spot on the HOF. I never tire of her voice...Eternal rest grant unto you Dolores...and may perpetual light shine upon you...
It's funny cuz we were talking about the RRHOF regarding another band I think should be in (The Association) and The Cranberries came up. I was surprised they weren't already in. They certainly have the #'s in terms of hits, sales, and music that is timeless.
Btw...if you can't tell, I gravitate towards iconic voices, melodies, and harmonies. Delores certainly falls into that category. Recognizable from the first note.
Still one of the most beautiful songs ive ever known. Her heavenly voice will always stay in my heart. Dolores, my other sweet, dear angel has come to join and sing with you. She left 3yrs ago and amazingly, when she sang, she sounded like you. RIP 2 dear angels.
Stupid me, I overlooked this song and when when this song came out, thought it was nothing to get excited about. I just listened to it here and was blown away by how powerful it is, it a great song. Can't believe it took me so long to figure it out. Oh well, what's most important is I figured it out. Kinda sad I didn't follow them back in the day.
I hate that time flies so fast. I remember when this first came out, cliche I know, but seems like yesterday. Dolores passed on so young, hard listening to this, yet hard not to listen. She was amazing.❤
Nice to hear a raw no overdubs quartet performance of this one. Plus I finally got to hear the right lyrics for a few words I'd been mistaking all this time ! 11-27-21
@@bowdownb41uservetrigger70 The line right before that, "But I'm in so deep." Always a bit blurry, I took it for "But I need you here" or "But my need's so deep."
I miss the days of the 90s when you could "not look your best" look on TV and still be bad ass; grunge ruled! Thats completely gone now. Great song and a great performance.
I had a horrible time at school; some of the worst days of my school life and I wouldn't want to go back to them. However, listening to this song on one of my compilation albums, in the bath, always seemed to make my days better. I was so chilled.
I was 13 and being with my first puppy and the only thing that was around was an old radio and a cd of cranberries songs. I still remember my dog sleeping in my arms while listening to this.
Such a beautiful lady . I just listened to "Zombie". So glad to say on 2022 Ireland is, for the most part, at peace. Homeland of my family. Robin Quinn
Descansa en Paz . La magia de tu voz me atrapa en un pasado distante.. a la vez que me envuelve en la nostalgia y me hace pensar en las cosas que fueron y las que podrían haber sido. Gracias Dolores.
I was born in 84 and had 3 older sisters. They had the best taste in music and I remember obsessing over the cd covers and listening to their albums in our basement. I can instantly flashback to being a young boy staring at this cranberries cd and listening to this song over and over. Life was so great growing up in the 90’s. Kids today have no clue. The world was a better place then I feel or maybe it was my naivety and innocence. I think technology and social media has ruined everything
Hard to believe this little Angel is singing in Heaven. We all loved n now miss her, such a velvet voice that could also roar out top notes. RIP Delores, theres no more pain now .
there is pain. learn from this, because she is not unique. friends of mine remain uninsured because they've been prescribed antidepressants. we have criminalised sadness. she's not quaint. she's a warning sign. because, biblical speaking that's what "angels" are. warnings. get a grip and help those around you.
I met a much younger girl than myself, we met when she came to a casino night I was dealing at. We had such stong feelings for each other with that song playing in the background, , we feel in love and this was something very special, and I cared for her so much. I broke down one night, when she offered her self to me. I had to tell her I had a std and that I needed to tell her upfront, and not after the fact. She never answered but just went her way. I knew I did the correct thing by telling her upfront and giving her the chance that I was not given. And so life goes on...but with a good sense of my second love and a better feeling about what I did that night, giving her the right to choose.
Amazing talent. Saw her in NJ, the first time on Aug 11, 1995, PNC Bank Arts Center. Years later at Count Basie, 2009 and 2015. She always dominated the stage with grit and grace. Miss you Dolores.
Hermosos años aquellos. Recuerdo , esa vez, aqui en lima peru, haber comprado un cassette por la avenida la colmena. En tiempos donde era dificil encontrar las obras de estos grupos . Grande Dolores, gracias por siempre.
Dolores O'riordan preciosa. Pocas voces cómo la tuya. Así sois las estrellas alguien os quiere para ellos y nos dejáis aquí pero pronto seguramente nos veré en algún lugar mejor. Pero todavía no cuando sea el momento. Tony desde Córdoba España paz ❌ siempre
