The Cranberries - Linger (REACTION!) 

Happy New Year all! We appreciate your continued support and wish everyone love, peace and happiness in 2023!

I love that her voice doesn't hide her accent like a lot of singers voices do. That's my favorite part of her voice.

Dreams by the cranberries is the quintessential song you need to listen to that demonstrates her vocal ability. It's beautiful

RIP Dolores O'Riordan. Her angelic voice and musical talent put out legendary songs that will play forever.

The best thing about this song. Dolores was auditioning for the Cranberries. Things went fine. They gave her an instrumental version of this on tape to see if she could write some lyrics. Next week she came back with this and the rest is history.

Gorgeous song. Vocally and instrumentally. I heard this when I was 12 and was blown away. Still my favorite. Stunning. Thanks for recognizing and praising her layering vocals. So good!!

I had the privilege to meet the Cranberries a decade ago, along with two of my daughters (ages 8 and 9 at the time) when their mother and I were in the middle of divorcing. Dolores was so sweet to them, treating them like her own kids (she even pointed them out to the crowd between songs). Our paths may have only crossed that one time, but she is very much missed.

Happy New Year! "Ode To My Family" is another beautiful song of theirs and has an amazing music video.

Kids won't understand how her voice can shake up a thousand depressed souls.. Delores was an angel

Im a metalhead. But cranberries is one of my favourite no metal band. And the voice is pure magic 😱👌🏻

This song is so good. Her voice is magical. ❤️

I was about 18 at college in the UK when this came out. In a time when there was a lot of great unique bands out - Nirvana, Pumpkins, Radiohead, Massive Attack, Portishead… - The Cranberries stood out and held their own, not following any trends, just being their utterly unique selves and showcasing that unbelievably incredible voice. Their first two albums will always have a special place in my heart - I only have to hear the opening notes from Linger and I’m a teenager again. RIP Delores - gone too soon ❤️

One of the most beautiful songs of the 90s.

I literally cried the day she passed away . I'm not too tough to say it with music being a large part of my life . Music can do anything for you in a time of need (depression, loneliness, bad day , frustration ). Just turn up the music thst hits you , let it play , and listen away . Things will get better , I swear it .

Dolores O'Riordan was one of a kind and her voice was pure heaven. May she rest in peace! Also, this song is haunting, but deep, sad and beautiful all at the same time. I'm still intrigued by this song.

Love this song! I was a teenager in the 90s when this came out. I listened to everything from Metallica, Nirvana, to Nas, Wutang, and groups like the Cranberries ect. If you like this song, Mazzy Star Fade into you is a good one too. There are just way too many great groups/songs of all genres of the music from the 80's and 90's to list.

This is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Her voice is the closest thing to raw emotion any singer has ever relayed

reached #8 on billboard 1994, but was deeply loved by so many, became an instant classic

In the refrains, that lilting, super-high voice in the background, tucked discreetly into the mix, is so very nice!

I'm glad you paid attention to the words and got the meaning, a lot of people think this is a bubbly feel-good love song.

Shout out to you guys from Ireland 🇮🇪 Great to see you listening to musicians from my country

The vocalizations in the background are what really brings this song together for me.

This song came on one night at 2 am right as i was turning the tv off and I instantly fell in love her voice and sat there memorized. Bought the album when it came out and was a fan 'til the end. RIP Delores.

This song is a masterpiece!

She was a fantastic Irish singer, she brought the vocals of Irish folk music into rock n roll and it was such a pretty sound. May you rest forever in our hearts, minds and ears dear Delores ❤.

You're going to lose your minds when you hear "DREAMS" by The Cranberries. Happy New Year @Lost In Vegas

I listened to this song so many times when I was 14 in 93/94. Sound track to my life, for sure.

Cranberries. ❤ i listened to it so much when I was in grade school and high school. 90s are the best.

my god she is WONDERFUL .................................Peace and Love

Another beautiful female voice of that era/genre you could get lost too from the UK was Harriet Wheeler of The Sundays. Their song "Goodbye" is great with the guitar work too - the guitar player David Gavurin also being her husband. Great group who quit the scene in 97.

This song is always playing in the Malls at Christmas time.....all the time......looked the song up on You Tube a dew years ago and found out it was the Cranberries.....just fell in love with her and the group!!!!

Dreams is the absolute ultimate cranberries song, must listen to this! The vocal range from Delores in this is breathtaking

I genuinely can't listen to this song without resisting the urge to cry

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! This song is just pure beauty! Thank you guys!!!

I love that you fellas fuck with just about any genre any artists

The two most unique singers of the 90s, Dolores O'Riordan and Billy Corgan.

Her voice is so unique and captivating

This is my favorite Cranberries song. Thanks for reacting to it.

What I like best about this song is how nostalgic it is. As soon as you hear the beginning and her vocalizing with the music, it takes you back to when you first heard it. Hard to believe it's been almost 30 years!

this song make me emotional anytime I hear it. her beautifully unique voice, along with the melancholy vocal melody and string arrangement is a very powerful combination

Lsitening to your reaction and I'm crying. I was in High school when this album came out, I had the first 3 Cranbrries albums and Delores was so one of a kind. Knowing I'm presently hearing the angelic voice of a true angel fills me with sadness.

I love that you guys are so open to all kinds of music. I'd like to see more Alternative bands being played, Cage The Elephant, Poets of the fall, Breaking Benjamin, Cold, Crossfade, Beck. Three Days Grace, 10 Years... so many more to explore. Ty.

This song always reminds me of River Phoenix, because it was popular around the same time of his death.

Delores and her strong Irish accent is what made the cranberries good

I'm immediately transported to the backseat of my family car and my dad having the radio on and this🖤 song playing ALL THE TIME

Geez. As soon as her voice started, tears welled up. Damn this song. 😢

This song instantly brings me back to highschool. Most nostalgia I've ever felt from a song in my entire life.

This whole album is great! Her voice! RIP!

Her 'crooning' is an Irish style called keening, usually a lament for the dead

First thanks for keeping me company on New Years, I have to work early tomorrow so no party for me. Lol This song means so much to me. It's one of the rare ones where I remember where i was the first time i heard it.. sitting in a car with friends and this song comes on and it felt like she was singing everything in my heart. I bought the album as soon as I had enough money. Something about the Cranberries just resonates with me.. I would recommend that you check out Yeats Grave and Daffodille Lament and that you do them as a pair.. Daffodil Lament follows Yeats Grave and they sort of go together (imo) in terms of lyrical meaning and mood and they are both absolutely amazing. and compliment each other. God bless you guys and Happy New Year!!!

The Gaelic vocals made this band’s sound so special. I cried hard when I heard Dolores passed away.

One of my favorite Cranberries songs is "No need to Argue". Not radio played, but so weighty and haunting. It takes a voice like hers to take a simple song and pierce your heart. Timeless.

This song is very nostalgic. You just get lost in your ealry 90s memories when u listen to this song

You're absolutely right she had a mesmerizing voice, happy new year 🎉

Zombie was my first acquaintance with the Cranberries and I liked that album instantly, so then I listened to this album with Linger on it and fell in love with their sound and Delores her voice for good. Such a talented group!

This song is a masterpiece

Happy New Year! Such a talented person taken from us way too soon. RIP Dolores.

Even for being a diehard metal fan, this is very relaxing and enjoyable.

Dreams MUST be the next! Keep up the great work 🇦🇴

🎵"Do you have to, do you have to let it linger?"🎵 I love that part

I'm Irish and we were singing this in a pub over Christmas. Most beautiful song, it just give these mad vibes. So glad you reacted to this 😭

In the soundtrack of life certain songs are assigned to memories … this one always brings back a young woman who made the high school experience better

Happy New Year's to Ryan and George also looking forward to you guys reacting to more Spiritbox

One of the most penetrating moody broody songs of the last 30 years. The video added so much more. RIP Dolores.

I've been watching you guys for years now, and yall always help me when I'm depressed. Open minded and beautiful souls with great energy.

Cranberries…awesome band! Loved them since 1994!! It’s 12-31-2023, 8:45pm Denver Colorado Happy New Year’s Eve Everyone!! 🦅 ⚓️

This song was EVERYWHERE in the nineties and early two thousands, and is still in rotation. You can't be held responsible to hearing bits in the grocery store or while scanning the dial.

Great track! I enjoy singing this in an Elmer Fudd voice. RIP Dolores.

I love the fact that you guys dig this song. I think it’s time you guys checked out Enya. Both awesome Irish singers with incredible vocals. I think you’d dig it.

This song was in Adam Sandler's movie Click in a bar restaurant.

Takes me back to 10th grade. I am still sad that she is gone!!!

This is an impeccably crafted song. Every aspect of the music fits perfectly with all of the others. The lead vocal, and the haunting harmonies, are the icing on the cake.

This is the 2nd cd I ever bought for myself. After The Breeders - Last Splash and before Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream.

I think this song is in the movie Click with Adam sandler...it actually was a cute moment

Commenting before watching the video, but you've definitely heard this

She’s got that Irish “ lilt”.

I swear I was 23 when the song came out I ran to the store and got it ❤️

Hey guys, if you just sit back and concentrate on the background vocals, it's Delores singing the angelic/siren part. Her voice is so unique and it does transcend genre preference. ❤😇

I don't think people appreciate what we lost when Dolores passed...No other singer has made me feel how she did

This was the song that introduced me to The Cranberries back when it first came out. It was on heavy rotation on MTV back in the day (when MTV still played MUSIC). I had never heard anyone before that sounded like Dolores (and no one since, either). She was one of a kind. Became an instant fan. Rest in peace, you beautiful soul. ❤

Yeah do Dream by them As Zombie that one really lets her voice shine

One of a handful of songs from the 90's that played hundreds of times on the radio that still sounds amazing every time.

'Coactau Twins - Heaven or Vegas' is worth a reaction / listen. That band is who the Cranberries and many other bands since wanted to be like with this angelic singing and darker tone guitars. Cranberries and Coctau Twins are both incredible bands.

I think you guys would love their song Promises. A good balance of heavy and melodic sounds from the band and the vocals are beautiful as always

This is one of the TOP TEN SONGS of all times

Dolores has a soothing, lovely voice. Nice reaction! TY and Happy 2023.

This is maybe their first hit...there's a video of them doing this Live in 1991 (BBC). Dolores looks like she could be a young Librarian with her big round framed glasses, large and loose green top, and a Bob-cut. I love that video.

Guys if you love her voice you MUST listen to The Sunday's. They are an absolute must, I promise! The Sunday's singer has an ethereal voice as well.

Rest in peace, Dolores. Really sucks that she had so many demons.

The Cranberries - Promises.. You will not regret it. If you like Zombie, you'll like that one.

I'm looking forward to your reaction to Dreams. I my opinion it's the best example of her vocal talent and truly demonstrates the beauty of her voice.

This, Ode to my family (which is a very cool, slow one) and Dreams (which is the quintessential Cranberries song where she really goes off with the vocal) are the other two big Cranberries tunes, everything after this is a deep cut.

Man… this song reminds me of being a really young teenager from a nothing hick town in Michigan and going to Ann Arbor (U of M campus) and sneaking into bars we shouldn’t have been allowed to be in. It was one of those popular 90’s songs that made me feel like I understood adulthood when I was way too young to understand adulthood.

Happy New Year everyone!!! keep the good times rolling with Lost in Vegas! Cheers!

Ode to my Family was what made me fall in love with this band. Dreams is also one of their greatest.

This is easily a top 5 song of the 90’s imo

I was 13 when this came out and being bullied by someone in my friendship group. It was hell, but I related so hard to this song and it helped me get through the days ❤

I didn’t know she died 😢 RIP ❤️❤️

I had no idea I was going to love these albums as much as I do. As soon as you hear her sing, it’s just game over.

Happy New Year lads. At some point you have to hit on the Manchester bands like Stone Roses or Oasis. They were culture defining in the UK in the 90s and they were absolutely outstanding. The UK bands even in the 90s were unreal. Have to check them out.
