I was familiar with The Cranberries before we dove straight into "Zombie" last month, but I learned so much more than I was ready for in that experience. Due to all of your suggestions, I'm going to analyze a The Cranberries song I've never heard before, and it's just the right time of year to do it!
Join professional opera singer Elizabeth Zharoff, as she listens to The Cranberries performing "Ode to my Family" for the first time.

Dolores O'Riordan wrote this song on their first US tour. She was missing home very badly. While she was extroverted after a while, she was extremely shy initially. In the pubs of Ireland they couldn't get her to face the crowd. That voice carried her around the world. Now she rests eternally beside her father, back in the place she was missing so much when she wrote this. Also, this song is just so full of yearning, warmth, melancholy, wit. Sung by the voice of an angel. No one could do it like Dolores O'Riordan.

As a young man, I cut my teeth playing in the same Limerick pubs as "The Cranberry Saw Us" and was also recording demos in Xeric studios while Pearse Gilmore was recording their first demos with their new lead singer as "The Cranberries". There was a sense of excitement about the band even then, with this waif of a girl writing the songs and singing in her broad County Limerick accent. Fast forward to 1993 - I see them supporting Hothouse Flowers in Stockholm and they are already well on their way to becoming superstars. If ever there was a band that was greater than the sum of their parts, it was this one. It was pure joy to see a band from one of the most deprived cities in Europe conquer the world stage. And such a tragic ending for an outstanding talent - I was devastated when Dolores died.

It's not simply reminiscent of a fun and great childhood, it's a childhood lived in poverty with the people around you struggling to stay afloat, not a childhood of big hopes and dreams, but of harsh realities. But 20, 30 years on yearning to go back to that time when you might not have had much, but you had the warmth and safety of your family's love.

@JuanNunez2023 10 месяцев назад

In my mind, Ode To My Family is the opposite side of the same coin as Zombie. Ode opens the album that Zombie is a part of. Both songs are tied to the same time and place. Ode is very airy and dream-like while Zombie is very harsh and powerful. Light and shadow. Different ways of viewing where Dolores comes from.

There is a Portuguese word that kind of discribs the feeling songs like this give people Saudade - A deep and philosophical longing for something that's likely lost forever. The feeling involves recognizing the transience of life while also desiring something more permanent.

@NudnikShpilkus 4 месяца назад

That word describes perfectly the dream I awoke from this morning. I awoke with a lingering sadness from a dream that combined a couple of memories from my visits over the years to where I grew up in NJ - the sight of the hole where my paternal grandparents' house was, after they were both gone and it had been knocked down, and the home (empty, the last I saw it) of my surrogate grandparents that lived next door (and made up for my maternal grandparents' absence). In the dream, the neighbor-grandparents' house was nothing but a hole, partially back-filled. The neighbors were Irish-Americans from Jersey City, a police officer and his wife. Every time I visited NJ, I would go visit Agnes and spend some time with her. The last time I saw her, she was mostly absent, and she had a live-in nurse looking after her. The next time I went back, she was gone.

@firemn4u 10 месяцев назад

My belief on her use of “does any one care”, the whole song seems to be about how her family views her and the relationship they had with her. She mentions that she loved her childhood, but she also mentions that she became something else in life. Something that the family frowned upon? Maybe? They might have thought that she didn’t love her family and she asks, does anyone care. This is an ode to her family, saying she did love them, and her simple childhood. Her father has passed, graveyard scenes, and she’s reassuring them if her love for them and wondering if they care for her. My thoughts on why she says does anyone care.

@johndef5075 10 месяцев назад

I think its universal. We all wonder if anyone cares at some point in our lives especially the struggles.

@TheMCzorro 10 месяцев назад

Someone in the comments mentioned that Dolores wrote the song on their first tour in the US, and now I feel like this can also be a question for people who came to see the show and hear Linger again. A lot of them probably wouldn't care about her being homesick

@MVK123 10 месяцев назад

I always thought it meant that to her family she was still just Dolores, so they didn't see her fame as a big deal. But then hearing she wrote it as a homesick young musician in the USA, I thought it was about how people didn’t care that she was feeling torn up inside. I'm Irish and living away from my beautiful country for almost 10 years now. It's a magical place that you truly appreciate when you can no longer experience it every day 😢🇮🇪

@OrgaNik_Music 10 месяцев назад

I always thought that everyone's childhood story is important to them, but how much does anyone care about anyone else's childhood story, really? It's all more or less the same.

@khakicam5400 8 месяцев назад

I thought that with the emotion of her music and her somewhat shy persona the public just assumed that she had a traumatic childhood and this is her "ode to her family" about how much she was loved, but does anyone actually care?

@kyleechristina1231 10 месяцев назад

After her father passed away she would refuse to perform or sing this song especially for her live performances because she’d be in tears. The one show she did live she brought this song back into her set but started crying before the lyric about her father and had the audience finish it for her as she was in tears. You can see every emotion she felt through her songs both early on in her life and even later as she performed these songs a lot, even the songs on her solo albums she did. She has and always will be one of the greats in my opinion. Just wish she got more recognition for her talent than she’s been given. She is 100% my idol and always will be. Every single time I sing her songs I channel her energy and imagine as if she was right there singing with me ❤

@ravensis 10 месяцев назад

As I've grown up with this song, the "Does anyone care?" line morphed from "Does anyone care about where I came from? Does anyone care about how much I miss home?" to "Does anyone care to give this sort of childhood to the next generation? Will you care enough to give this to your kids?" - In my different stages of life, I see that line as so many things. This is one of my favorite songs on that album, and I hope you do Daffodil Lament next! It's a whole emotional ride from sad to relieved to happy.

@Adam_Le-Roi_Davis. 10 месяцев назад

I loved your reaction and analysis of this, Elizabeth. Dolores wrote this about missing her simpler life when she was younger with her family after finding fame and all that it entails. The 'Does anyone care' line refers to the media wanting to know all about what she was currently doing and what was ahead for the band, but not caring about her really, she found fame difficult and sadly died from alcohol poisoning in January 2018. Other songs by them I recommend are: "Dreams", "Pretty", "Linger", "I Still Do", "Everything I Said", there are others but these for me are their best.

One of the fist cds my brother bought was “No need to argue”, because Zombie was playing very often on the radio. Ode to my family is the first track of the album and what really got me, when I was fourteen, into one of the bands (I’m a hard rock guy mostly) that walked me through my hole life.

Both of these are earlier than Zombie so show the band when they were a couple of years younger. Dreams has at least 3 'official' videos if you search on RU-vid but the original, and for me the best, is 'The Cranberries - Dreams (Dir: Nico Soultanakis) (Official Music Video)' which is from the original release of it as a single and shows as VEVO on RU-vid.

The English spoken in Ireland (Hiberno-English) is Rhotic which influences how we roll the r from the top of the mouth, not much different to American English - if you listen to an irish person say words like "world" or "colour" it's much closer to American English than it is to the English spoken in Britian (which is non-rhotic). Dolores also sung with her accent (proudly) and you can hear it especially when she rolls her R's.

My mam passed away last year at the realitively young age of 62, the first of her 16 brothers and sisters (we are a huge Irish family) and I found Deloras' raw vocals to be almost painful to my soul to listen to. Her voice is incredible, but maybe her vocal styling deep rooted in Irish mourning really got me - when I hear this song, it reminds me of the love my parents had for me and how they did their best to raise me to be a decent and caring man. It reminds me of cold eveinings by the fireside and my mam bringing in a sandwich I hadn't asked for - but I so badily needed. It reminds me of every hug we shared and the profound pain and emptiness that we suffer without her. It also reminds me of the beauty she left behind. So as I am trying to recoinsile with loss, I am too with this song....and I guess thats kind of beautiful.

Just my interpretation of the "Does anyone care" line. Dolores (from what I've read) was not very receptive of the amount of fame and focus she was receiving when they got big. So, to me, this song is about her basically saying "I was a kid, I had dreams like all of you, I'm just a person, do you even care?" Example in the lyrics "Understand what I've become, it wasn't my design, cause people everywhere think something better than I am". Just my thoughts :)

JFK's great grandfather fled from Ireland to America during The Great Famine. JFK visited Ireland in June of 1963 and it left a lasting impression. He also stopped by to visit with relatives. The Irish Post has an article on it from 2019.

Hi Elizabeth, you should take a dive into Skunk Anansie. Hedonism (Just because you feel good) might be a great place to start. Mildly heavy music from the 90s. I really enjoy watching your reviews, even though I couldn’t sing a note if I tried 😂.

Note, Elizabeth: a lot of what you're hearing Delores do as an accented "country" sound, is actually her, leaning into her County Limerick accent :P My Pa had a very similar accent, bless him.

@cssneil 10 месяцев назад

Delores's voice is so perfect in this song. The Cranberries were big when I was in my teens and I will always have memories of their music linked to those carefree days. Thanks for giving them more exposure and hopefully turning new people on to their music. I would love to see you analyze Portishead and Beth Gibbon's voice. She is another unique talent from the UK.

Yes, you are right, it's a photo of JFK. In the 1960s, every Irish house and pub had such a picture, sometimes with Jackie. It harks back to that sense of familiarity with the time. Dolores' Limerick accent added to her unique style of singing.

This is probably one of those songs you should have listened to the whole verse, or the whole chorus and then gone back. Her voice does something special every 10 seconds, and it was a shame to stop it every 10 seconds, at least to us that knew what was coming up. Anyway, we still loved your analysis and explanations because most of us will never be able to do any of it. lol.

@@TheAtticradio Yeah, I usually like her style of catching the nuances in the first verse and then going back to listen to the whole verse, but most singer have half a dozen noticeable moments, not Dolores, she has way too many nuances, as we have just seen. lol

This is the first song I liked from Cranberries. I hadn't heard the song since Dolores died. Hearing it today, with its lyrics full of nostalgia about the moments in her life when she was happiest is just... it hits hard.

A lot of people suggest “Dreams” and I agree but there are a lot of other songs as good as this like “Linger”: so introspective and full of feelings. Another very “powerful” song (with “powerful” i mean loaded with sentiments) is “Just my imagination”: another ode to age of childhood.

@holdyourfire74 10 месяцев назад

I don't cry much when I hear about artists dying. I feel sad of course, but I accept it as part of life. Only 3 have brought me to tears in recent years: Neil Peart (as a drummer I felt such a connection and huge fan of his lyrics), Chester Bennington (whose anger and emotion I fully identified with for a long time), and Dolores with that unique voice and the music that defined my 90's. With my parents now passed and our family not nearly as close as we once were, this song always brings me to tears too.

I hadn't listened to this song since she died. I was in tears pretty much from the beginning. I typically watch these videos while having breakfast or lunch, and let me just say I've never cried while eating pizza before now. I'm sure people said it in the chat, but the repetition of "Does anyone care?" speaks to me of isolation and loneliness, the kind you get when you're surrounded by people that don't connect to you. I think it's clear she was missing her family mightily, but also it rings true for the rest of us because we all feel alone sometimes, and can look at the world and feel invisible. I'd still like to see you listen to "Linger".

@Orbitalbomb 10 месяцев назад

The reason she sings ‘does anyone care’ is, that to you her family means nothing but to her in that moment it means the world to her. You don’t have her memories with her family and that’s why the line hits so hard, you certainly care as much for your family, but not for hers, naturally

@ChristKeuc 10 месяцев назад

the "does anyone care", I believe, comes from the emotional state of loneliness she felt while writing the song in America away from her family... Personally, there was also pushback from her parents when she had made the decision to become a singer and pursue a musical career and going against traditional Irish values and traditions. The song encapsulates longing for what was, while expressing the idea of forging your own path... imo.

@t.ackerman8368 10 месяцев назад

This is a masterpiece of an album. I've loved it ever since it came out when I was in high school. I think I always understood the repetition of "does anyone care?" as carrying a note of desperation to convey her feelings and to be understood, but feeling like she's just not getting through to the listener. You know that feeling when you are trying to put something into words perfectly or convey something in a piece of art but it feels like no one is really getting it.

@patrickpierson370 10 месяцев назад

Reaction/Analysis/Deep Dive Request: As you are a HUGE fan of Queen AND Freddie Mercury, I'm sure that you're WELL aware of the fact that one of the key elements to their sound is the 3-part vocal harmonies of Freddie, Brian May (Lead guitarist) & Roger Taylor (Drummer) (Bass guitarist John Deacon DID NOT contribute vocals in the studio. When performing live, his microphone was almost ALWAYS set to either "LOW" or "OFF". While filming music videos, he would mime his "vocals"). As you have already expressed your opinions and feelings regarding Freddie, I'm surprised that you have YET to do deep dives into the other 2 voices that make their harmonies SO WELL KNOWN and remembered. Here are 2 Queen songs with Brian and Roger each singing lead vocals, respectively: "'39": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kE8kGMfXaFU.html (Brian May on lead vocals) "I'm in Love with My Car": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-a8EYUKmmnqc.html (Roger Taylor on lead vocals) BONUS! As we've already established, with Freddie being Freddie, he was MORE THAN CAPABLE of recording ALL OF THE VOCALS for a song without help from the other members of the band & THIS song is the PERFECT example of that. Brian & Roger ONLY contributed guitar and drums, respectively. (WARNING: Contains false ending, let video play til the end!) "You Take My Breath Away": ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-v_wLNqUz7pM.html

С какой заботой к деталям? Как бережно и аккуратно. Каждый человек в видео, ребенок или старик, выглядит близким и родным, за каждым чувствуется какая-то история, они не безликие персонажи.
