I hope u are okay/still here with the rest of us enjoying this flawless song,my deepest prayers 4 you hoping u defeated pancreatic cancer🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
My auntie lost her husband in Northern Ireland, he was shot in the back of the head by a sniper . This song is a master piece and it gives me goosebumps. Perfectly written 👌
This is the reason Northern Ireland needs to be released from imperialist British rule, otherwise the dirty Brits will keep killing our people. I support Irish unification from the Republic of Ireland, I know it’s what you guys want ❤ fuck the brits
i used to have neighbors that lived above me that would blast this every night anywhere between 12AM-4AM and scream along to it. i hope he's doing well
They probably just changed up their schedule and scream to it at a different hour, possibly at a time at wich you are not home leading you to feel their absence.....
Prob not. It gives me flashbacks of my ww3 childhood. Fights, stabbings, baseball bats, phone cords. My mom n step dad loved to try to kill eachother and I always got beat up trying to stop it.
I've been performing this song with my friends for a couple of years now. My first really live show was when I played the amazing bass line for this song. Now I am the singer for this song and I'm proud to send out the message of this song💖🕊️🇮🇪
What I love about Dolores' voice is that she never tried to hide her Limerick accent. Too many vocalists sound the same, but she had a voice that was totally her own. Not many ever manage that.
@@davonfryar-frazier435 The only version of this song, I'll listen is the Cranberries. Sorry! Miley or anyone else your not Dolores take your chops and go away
This song was written about the troubles in Ireland 🇮🇪 many other countries who have experienced civil war can also relate to this song. I am proud to be irish ☘️
It is sad that this song's meaning is still so accurate to the world we live in today. I don't know if I am the only one(I hope that I'm not) who feels like nothing has changed.
@@nanaberry4120 I agree, and the Holy Spirit just resurrected this song in my head, because the empty headed zombies are gathering in large numbers right now, getting ready for endless killings. The armies of the Antichrist are the zombies.
We can work everyday and this will never change. We are proud of our humanity, but we cannot run from our instincts, customs, ideologies, even our own conciousness. Conflict is old as it gets. Until the end of our days and beyond.
So I just heard this song for the first time today, and I can’t stop replaying it. I can’t describe it, but it just resonates with something inside me, it’s very powerful.
I'm with you. I heard this when I was a very small child. It just grabbed me. I started crying. I know I didn't fully understand but I got the idea somehow. My Brother later recorded it off the radio and I kept asking to borrow it. I still search it out when I need it. It's also one of the first songs I knew the title and artist for.
I always interpret the song as a ww1 soldier suffering from PTSD and is haunted by the memories long after the battles have ended. He laments about future wars and how it is "The same old thing, since 1916". The "zombies" were just the people dying over and over again in his head and the word 'zombie' could also refer to the soldier himself. Living life as someone who seen death and is practically already dead himself (in a mental, emotional, and spiritual sense).
@@angel-nv7jk Of the 485 people killed in the Easter Rising: 54 percent were civilians, 30 percent were British military and police and 16 percent were Irish rebels. More than 2,600 were wounded. Many of the civilians were killed or wounded by British artillery and machine guns or were mistaken for rebels.
I love this song. This song reminds me of my mom, who I lost when I was 10. Listening to this reminds me of when she would play this song a bit too loudly in the morning lol. Even if it weren't just that, I love the lyrics, music, and message now that I understand it lol.
Today I listened to this song as a Russian and it was the first time I ever cried because of a song. This song is 27 years old and still has so much relevance. I feel so much guilt to have the same citizenship as 150 million zombies.
@Shaise Kindering doesn’t really show, many Russians I’ve talked to seem to be for it, or they are silent, and silence is compliance. Even in Europe many Russian immigrants who have access to free press don’t seem to be so angered by this atrocity, I don’t see them going out protesting. I really wish it was only Putin but sadly it’s not
All you zombies on here thinking the Russians are the bad guys.. Wake up ffs, do some research. The Ukrainian nationalists have been killing Ukrainian Russians for the last eight years, and Putin is finally putting a stop to it. How many kids have been killed in the last eight years just for being ethnic Russians. Look up the alley of angels you gobshites, and wake up to the lies you are being fed. Listen to the Duran on youtube, or Eva K Bartlett, and learn.
@@maddie9602 the difference between the two accents is made obvious when either accents speaks Irish, Irish with an Irish accent sounds beautiful, Northern Irish accent speaking Irish sounds dog shit. Also the distinction because people are still bitter on both sides because of the troubles, Northern Ireland learnt nothing from this song.

You are worth my time to write this. I do care.
Don't be rude, @Dylan McShane. Here in Brazil or in another countries, the method is MM/NN/YYYY Day/Month/Year. Your method isn't the best and the only, so, please, search before still speaking!
What a beautifully sad song. So thoughtful and visceral if you let it soak in. We need more of this in the world to speak the truths of war and weapons and pain with their tanks and their bombs... wow just wow breaks my heart in all the right ways I must say!
Thanks for the laugh, OP. Snark and comedy are my family's most potent coping methods. One of the most important and brutal lessons I've learned in my life is that I need to take time to laugh, for melancholy is such an easy trap for people like me that I sometimes don't notice I've fallen into it again. And a lot of people in the replies need to take a deep breath and think about life. If you cope differently with stress and trauma, that's fine, just lay off those of us who need to laugh while we mourn. I'd hate to be so serious that I wouldn't make dark jokes.
+Mister TIBBS! we went from throwing rocks to using swords to using black powder explosion to propel a bullet to sonic speeds then too dropping something that weighs 500 pounds and can level an entire city then we created nuclear weapons that could destroy the entire world if they were all used. nice fallout quote though
DieselWoWrecording Service You don't get it. The weapons of war change. The people, the reasons, and the methods all change. But war itself never changes. Warfare as it is today is fundamentally no different from warfare thousands of years ago. Just humans killing humans for ultimately pointless reasons.
My mom loved this song and now I can’t listen to it without it feels so different I lost her in February it hurts so bad but I keep telling myself she is in a better place ❤️😭😇
Who’s here after the very sad news of this amazing fellow irishwomans passing?? I lived the 90s with linger and zombie filling my head and heart! RIP DELORES
My mom used to listen to this song. With a wonderful voice.. Reminds me if the world will change someday or somehow. I sang this with my friends and cousin that are older than me. My grandpa died and i heared my grandma singing this song. I sang along too.. She is not dead, she went to the shy to see how the start to shine. ❤️❤️
All the people who disliked it were either 1)Holding their phone upside down Or 2)They disliked the song because it ended Or 3) They just have no idea what real music sounds like
Jan Terry Listen to their older songs, anything from Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not. His Sheffield accent is very, very clear, he doesn't try to drop it like many British singers.
I have been fighting against depression and obsessive compulsive disorder for many years, but sometimes I'm tired of fighting and I want to give up. A life of trauma and suffering brought me here.
This was inspired by the IRA bombing in Warrington, Cheshire in 1993. Two children, Jonathan Ball and Tim Parry, were killed. The IRA (The Irish Republican Army) is a militant group determined to remove British troops from Northern Ireland. Lead singer Dolores O'Riordan claimed that "Zombie" speaks about "The Irish fight for independence that seems to last forever." The lyrics even say, "It's the same old theme since 1916." Like the responsive works of Yeats, Heaney and U2, the Cranberries claim they wrote "Zombie" to be a "Song for peace, peace among England and Ireland." On August 31, 1994, just a few weeks after this song was released, the IRA declared a ceasefire after 25 years of conflict, leading some critics of The Cranberries to wonder if the IRA was willing to call a truce to make sure the group didn't release any more songs about them.
Dolores wrote this song in protest of the Bishopgate bombings by the provisional Irish Republican Army Aka IRA.... Happened in 1993 in Londons Financial District ! RIP Dolores you will be missed...
FoughtStatue No, I looked it up on Wikipedia because I wanted to know what was the meaning behind the song ! Sunday Bloody Sunday was a U-2 song from back in 1982 maybe that's what you're talking about my friend, I'm sure U-2's Sunday Bloody Sunday had something to do with what you said ? Anyway you have a great night !
FoughtStatue Are you Irish ? My Grandfather was from Ireland, but I know how much the Irish people don't like it when an American says he's Irish through his ansestors ! But when someone asks me what are you I say Irish lol, because when asked that question they really mean where did you're ansestors came from, my Grandmother was from Scottland, so all my ansestors came from somewhere in the UK.... Peace my brother...
Ken Bray Yeah I think you’re right. I just usually think songs about the Irish and uprisings and things like that are about that Sunday. Also I am not Irish but my ancestors are Irish. Also have some English and German(apparently I’m related to some English kings so that is cool)
My dad loves this song. He's ex military. He's a quiet man, typical really. I listen to this song and sometimes wonder if it reminds him of any of the things he's experienced as a solider. War is all the same, just pure tragedy. I can begin to get into his head when I listen to this song. When I watched the music video, one of the children uncannily looked so similar to my little brother. Idk, maybe really shows you how tragic it can be.
This is my mom’s favorite song, she used to play it for me when I was 4 or 5 and everytime we listened to music she would always play this for me, of course, that was before I grew up, my family isn’t too fond of me anymore and expresses that very well, I miss the simpler times when I didn’t realize how much of an addict my mom is, and how I picked up that gene, looking back at it all I never had a good childhood, it was very traumatic but now I realize that, I realize I never got what I needed, attention and whatever, though I’m still very young, I feel like I don’t have that much time left. This song also reminds me of the feeling I get when I know something is about to go wrong, the beat shows it completely, and the words I relate to in a way, but this song really just reminds me of my childhood
This was my dad's favorite song. me and all my siblings know all the lyrics by heart. when he was in his death bed I made sure to play this for him one more time. Sometimes on the anniversary of his death this comes on. I take it as a sign that he's up there, listening to this while riding four-wheelers and hanging out with Grandma, or as we called her, Ma. Dad, hug Ma for me. Pet Crystal for me, tell them i won't be too long.
MyOscar1001 Oh yeah, I get that. I'm just saying that it seems like a whole lot of people like this song, but if you asked them to name a great song, or ask them to tell you the name of the song if you gave them a few lyrics, they might not be able to do it. People will always remember the song, just at random times.
Mischa The Donut Really? what do you meant who was she! She was one of the best singers from the 90's, and she recently pasted away of natural causes. She will be miss :(
Weird, huh? You see a thumbnail of the video with few men and only one woman and such a comment yet still someone asks "who is she".... Well, duh - maybe the singer of the band?
