  The sad thing is that this song is still relevant, in every war zone, in every conflict, in every street quarrel, domestic violence.

  The way Dolores uses her voice is the traditional Irish mourning expression at funerals. How fitting and great and emotional.

  This song broke through the noise and hate.  It seemed like the first thing that the people in Northern Ireland and the people in Britain had agreed about in about eighty years.  Stopping the fight was finally more important than winning it.

  Don’t worry virtually everybody who saw this for the first time did exactly the same as you and had tears , it done it’s job , sadly the lead singer Dolores passed away in 2018  but she left behind such a beautiful legacy , great reaction

  The song is a reaction to an I.R.A. bomb that killed two children aged 3 and 12, while injuring about 50 others in 1993. It was actually 2 bombs, so when Delores says bombs twice, that is why. Very powerful piece of music.

  The line 'it's not me, it's  not my family' was her saying that even though she was from Ireland, the killings and bombings were not in her name nor represented all those who were Irish.

  PS- yes it’s the war, but the beauty of her vocals is her keening (Irish ban sí signing). It’s the most emotional act a woman can undertake it our culture

  This shows actual footage of British soldiers in Northern Ireland in the early &apos;90s; the &quot;Troubles&quot; had been ongoing since 1916 as referenced in the song.<br><br>Two young boys had gone to a shop to buy their mum a card for Mother&apos;s Day when the shopping area was fire bombed and the two brothers perished. &nbsp;It happened in 1993; The Cranberries recorded &quot;Zombie&quot; the following year.

  This song came out in the 90&apos;s. At that time the civil war in Bosnia was raging and I was a teenager back then growing up in Bosnia, this song made such an impact. The pain in this song is real.

  I love that you&apos;ve said: &quot;What people had to go through just cause we all couldn&apos;t love each other.&quot; And I absolutley agree with you.
