I just want to clarify that although I didn’t realise what the song was about at first, I am well aware of the history of the IRA and how it affected peoples lives. Half of my family bloodline goes back to Ireland and members of my family were living in Ireland during these times. There were also 2 attacks in my home city which took the lives of 21 people. The IRA claimed the lives of innocent people and those people shall never be forgotten. I am not just a “millennial that knows nothing”, I was just being slow whilst listening to an astounding piece of music.

RIP Dolores O'Riordan! - An unbelievably amazing talent taken way before her time.

You and your channel are awesome. I am literally crying right now. As a 73 year old who has listened to anti-war songs for my entire life I am so saddened that the human species seems to have learned nothing or evolved in any positive way. This song came out almost 30 years ago and still resonates as strongly, just different wars and killing. You are a positive light from your generation that says maybe the world could still could be a better place. Keep doing what you are doing. Peace and pura vida (a very positive phrase from where I live).

Never seen a reactor listen to a song twice before. You're clearly genuinely involved in the music and not just trying to fill some quota. And this song deserves it. One of the most articulate outpourings of grief and rage ever recorded. RIP Dolores.

"Zombie" is a protest song by Irish alternative rock band the Cranberries. It was written by the lead singer, Dolores O'Riordan, about the young victims of a bombing in Warrington, England, during the Troubles in Northern Ireland. <br>Zombie was written after the IRA detonated two bombs in the English town of Warrington on a Saturday afternoon in March 1993. The bombs were hidden in litter bins near a shopping centre and killed two children, three-year-old Jonathan Ball and Tim Parry (12), and injured 54 people.<br>The music video for "Zombie" was banned by the BBC because of its "violent images". It was also banned by the RTÉ, Ireland's national broadcaster.

I'm an old man in my 70s -- and I still get a tear when I hear this song.

It's called keening, a sad mournful wailing often sung by Women at irish funerals and Dolores's use of it in this song was perfect as this is about an event that took the lives of several chidren

You're not going to piss people off for not knowing the history of the video, it's enough to know you are inquisitive, and most of all you are out there.

"Linger" is a great Cranberries tune. The first song I heard from them. Still love it.

Everywhere there’s conflict, children are falling. This piece should have won a Nobel peace prize ❤

As a 51 yr old woman it makes my heart sing knowing such a talent, song, message and woman are being appreciated by younger generations. When we forget and don't learn from history we are doomed to continue past mistakes/struggles. The truth must always be told, not just history from the perspective of the powers that be on this planet
