    Zombie is considered a protest song against the Northern Ireland conflict. Dolores O'Riordan ( leadsinger) wrote the lyrics to the song during the band's 1993 tour of England in memory of two children (Jonathan Ball and Tim Parry) who were killed in an IRA bombing in Warrington on March 20, 1993. ✌️🤘✌️

    Musically, this live version sounds similar to the studio version played in the music video. Visually, the video is worth seeing. It's very powerful. By the way, the lyric "since 1916" is a reference to the 1916 Easter Rising/Rebellion in Dublin. It was one of the key events preceding the Partition of Ireland and the Irish Civil War several years later.

    You’re exactly right, the composition is absolutely flawless, but more importantly the message is about oppression and wanting of peace. You can tell through the chorus how much it resonates just by her voice. It almost sounds Gaelic in the way her voice cracks and wavers. What a masterpiece.

    "once in a lifetime" is a good way of putting it. I genuinely think this might be the best song ever written. And that's not just personal preference, I don't consider it one of my personal favourites (though I obviously love it). It's so powerful, with the incredibly melodic yet understated chord progression, the little lead guitar licks, the bass, the DRUMS, the message of the lyrics, and of course Dolores's incredible vocals. I've always been amazed at how strong her voice was considering how physically small she was. Plus the fact that she never seems to be "pushing" her voice, it always seems effortless.

    This song is iconic. To irish people, especially those that remember "The Troubles," this song really hits.
    It was written after an attack, I think a bombing carried out by the IRA, killed two young boys who were just caught in the blast.

    Whoever recorded this live version did an amazing job. One of the best songs of my generation. Funny thing is, my local rock station didn’t take this song seriously because of the band itself. Their first album wasn’t exactly hard rock like this song, but mainly adult contemporary music. But slowly over time they could not ignore the immense popularity of this song. When Bad Wolves covered this song, this version started popping up again. Great song

This song is about 2 boys that were killed in the IRA bombing of Warrington in 1993..............this is up there as one of my favorite songs, yes you are right it's a Masterpiece on many levels. In the 90's prior to that there had been several bombings and a mortor bomb attack. I personally walked past the Victoria Station bomb, just before it exploded and killed someone, I ducked when the mortor bomb attack happed as I was that close, and pretty much ducked when the Baltic exchange bomb went off, they were troubled times.

The band in turn decided to have all proceeds from the song go to her family.
