    When the Cranberries were first discovered in the early nineties they had triggered a bidding war between major record labels and seemed poised for certain success. However, after recording their first album, things seemed far less secure. In 1993, The Cranberries had released their second single, “Linger,” to a disappointing response in the UK. Just when the band feared they were about to be dropped by the label, “Linger” became a surprise sensation in the US. From that moment, The Cranberries were on their way to becoming one of the most important indie-pop bands of the decade.
    The success of “Linger” and its album - Everybody’s Doing It So Why Can’t We - was the start of a long, successful, and international career for The Cranberries. The band would go on to record eight albums together, up until the tragic passing of O’Riordan in 2018. Her unexpected death came as the band was preparing material for their eighth album. Using the demo vocals she had recorded prior to her death, the band released the album posthumously in 2019, as their final work together. They called it In the End
    The Cranberries sold over 50 million albums worldwide since their debut, and remained incredibly popular with international audiences up until their dissolution after O’Riordan’s passing. Their sound evolved over the years, but they maintained their powerful and influential presence. With “Linger” the world was introduced to O’Riordan’s mesmerizing vocals and the band’s singular sound -- and the world would never be the same.

    I’ve loved the Cranberries for 30 yrs. I feel Dolores’ death was a huuuuge loss to the music industry, both for herself and the band. I saw them in Glasgow at the armadillo, years ago and I was gobsmacked! I couldn’t believe that they sounded just like their albums! A lot of times bands speed up or the lead can’t sing nearly as well as they lead everyone to believe. They were fabulous and her voice? OMFG! Unbelievable. RIP girl, we miss you. 🌟❤️

    I was there the night she first sang with the lads in Ruby's nightclub, with two friends, Pat Foley and Davy Nolan. They were still called The Cranberry Saw Us at that time. I knew the Hogan brothers through their father Noel Sr. He was good friends with my father and we all drank in the same small pub in Limerick, Squire McGuires.
    In the early 90's the lads used to drop in for a pint. I remember the first day Mike told us they had found a new singer, a county woman called Dolores. We thought it was a joke. Who ever heard of a rock singer called Dolores, and a county girl, we reckoned they were turning into a country and western outfit. ( C&W was very popular in Ireland at that time ;-) still is )
    So the three of us trundled off down to Ruby's Night Club for their first gig. There were about 100 people there. The majority for the late drinking. In those days pubs in Ireland closed at 10.30pm on sunday night, but night clubs could serve until 1.30am.. To cut a long story short Dolores and The Statues were superb. Whatever about the lads playing ( The Statues ) Dolores could sing. Singing Linger she quietened a rowdy night club like I'd never experienced before or since. I bet you no one can remember who they were opening for that night. I can't.
    The Statues!! A nickname for the group for a while around Limerick. The two lads just stood up looked at their boots and played. Dolores spent more time looking at the drummer than the audience. And when she did face the audience she also looked down never really making eye contact. Seriously you would never have thought they would make it except for that voice. It was different. It was great to see them develop into a real group over the next few years.
    Great days to be around Limerick, great memories. RIP Dolores RIP Anne Hogan

    I have a distinct memory of visiting friends at Michigan State in some kind of common area when the video for this song came on MTV and a couple of guys stated dissing the song and left the room. It wasn't, I guess, hard enough for them, but I couldn't take my eyes off the screen. The song was so incedibly beautiful and the video was absolutely mesmerizing. I loved it, but it was more than just loving it. I was haunted by it. Without even fully understanding what it was about or what the lyrics were saying, I was moved almost to tears by the magic of it. So I was happy to watch this great video all these years later talking about this great song, but shocked to hear that Dolores O'Riordan is no longer with us. I must have missed that news report when it happened. May she rest in peace. I'm so thankful that she left us this priceless masterpiece as a gift that will be with us forever.

    Almost 30 years after I heard 'Linger' for the very first time on MTV (in Mexico of all places in the world!), I still get the chills when I hear Dolores humming to the tunes of the guitar and strings. Their music and her voice have been a huge part of my life, and when I'm reminded of that, I can't help the rush of emotions that strike me every single time I hear their music again. Definitely a great part of my life's "Sound Track". Thank you for this amazing video of this incredible song by this huge band.

    I was a massive Suede fan (still am) and closely followed their tour of America in the music press. It quickly became clear Suede’s support band, The Cranberries, were getting all the headline, much to my dismay. Then I heard them. I couldn’t believe her voice. It was like nothing else and very like an Irish, female version of Brett Anderson. I loved them ever since.

    I went to see The The touring in support of the Dusk album. While the name of the support band was on the tickets, I had not heard them at the time. The Cranberries took the stage to no fanfare at all. The moment Dolores began singing every person was riveted. I've never seen a direct support receive such an enthusiastic, and loud, positive reception. It was a beautiful performance. The next day everyone I was with at the concert purchased the first album.

    Just a stunningly beautiful song - both the music and Dolores' other worldly voice. I've known the song since its release, heard it a thousand times (their last Tiny Desk appearance is magical) and yet after hearing you talk about the origin of the song for fifteen minutes, the moment you sit down with the guitar and strum out the four chords that make up the song - it's that second cord - the A with the F sharp - that one moment takes my breath away, I get chills, my skin gets goosebumps (I'm sure the Brits have an entirely different word for it) and my eyes fill with tears. That song is just indelibly stamped on my soul (and Dolores will forever be missed)

    "Linger" is one of my all time favorite tracks and my favorite Cranberries song. I always loved the melancholy that is transported with the melody and the mood.
    Yes, you are right, it's not always the theory that does it. Music always comes from the heart, not only from the sheets. Since I got back to making music by myself, I've learnt a lot about tension and feeling. You don't need to use the notes C, E and G only when performing a C Major chord. And not all chords need to fit. More important is - as I said - tension and feeling.
    Imagine when "Linger" came out. It was February 1993. Well, I was about 19 years old. We, the dudes, wanted to be cool anyhow. If a relationsip ends, then so what... But when I heard "Linger" for the first time, it shivered down my spine. This is why this song is so special for me. The cool dude who ended a relationsip came across this song. Well, no other words. :-)
    Thank you like always for this great video. It is very interesting for everyone who is interested in music to follow channels like yours. Thanks ever so much, Warren.

    I was super lucky to tour as feargs drum tech filling in for their usual guy when he had a family emergency for an asian tour , I wasnt aware of all their catalogue and hearing it in rehearsals and then the shows was an ear opener . At some point in Asia whilst looking for a table at the hotel breakfast , I was beckoned to sit with Delores and her husband at the time she was so lovely taking in interest in my life and family back home , I was worried being a fill in tech being asked to sit with the principal singer. But I finished that breakfast with such admiration . she was an amazing voice and performer and for the moment we three sat and talked about family and touring and our home life it was lovely whilst being far away from our own that morning in Singapore . it goes without saying I listen to the band a lot these days , the songs have special moments and memories from that tour, It was heartbreaking when I saw the news she had passed.

      Her lyrics never tried to be so poethic, and metrically perfect, just it were beautiful and honest. In fact, her lyrics were a reflection that she was: goodness and purity. She was a sweet soul

    Warren… Your videos keep getting better and better. It’s your love and passion that makes them so good. Musical facts can be told by a soulless computer program. But your passion and love for music reaches out and pulls the viewer in. Videos in this particular series can be understood by the casual music fan or by a heavily fanatic fan of music and musical production. “Linger” was timeless the first time I heard it. It was one of those songs where it felt like it was always around and part of us even when it was released. Bowie’s “Heroes” is another one of those songs. Dolores O’Riordan was one of those incredibly gifted people who seemed like a gift from the secular goddesses. Thanks for giving this classic the treatment it deserves. ✌🏽❤️🎸

    Thank you for this video! I loved The Cranberries from the minute I heard “Linger”, and I still play their music regularly.
    I know it’s a popular narrative - on some Chanel’s - to say Americans don’t know or appreciate culture, but many of us do. So thank you for also pointing that out. “Linger” and the accompanying video were so fresh, so 90’s.
    I’ll say it like this: for those of us (Gen X’rs) who were coming of age in the early 90’s, The Cranberries were one of the first bands of that period that managed to be “alternative” music (a term music stores used around this time to denote anything not mainstream) deep and new without copying the “Seattle Scene”. I loved Nirvana, but for probably all of 1992, at least in the US, you were either a Nirvana fan or a Pearl Jam fan. (Of course both are equally great bands, it’s only about preference.)
    The Cranberries, Bjork, Suzanne Vega, and others were creating their own unique sound. And it was a great time to appreciate music. While many of us appreciated Grunge, and it’s significance in terms of breaking away from the overly produce sounds and videos of the late 80’s. But The Cranberries took it one step further, giving it that “world music” feel. They were more my tempo. I love that coffee shop (or cafe) rock. And their first album was such good “autumn music”.
    That was such a great time to be young!

    This song is so perfect in so many ways.

    Thank you for this. The Cranberries are a huge band from my youth, watching them live (under pouring rain in fact lol) was one of the best live gigs I've ever seen and their music just stuck with me and my now wife (which endured the Rain with me on that day) forever. These Cranberries video series you are releasing are pure gold.

Fell in love with it instantly. Till this day it takes me back to that nostalgic time of a past girlfriend around Christmas time. Glad this song was included in your excellent series. Thank you!

    Wow... thanks for this video! It's amazing to see what a difference there is from demo to the final polished album track. Steven Street is a genius and his production helped put The Cranberries on the map. Everything and everyone came together at the right time to create magic. I'm a sucker for background vocals, harmonies, and swelling synths and strings. I've always picked up on these sounds more than melody or lead vocals, such as with The Bangles "Eternal Flame" or The Cure's "Just Like Heaven". Subscribed!

But I bought this album, and I bought it for "Linger". I didn't buy many current albums, so this was highly unusual. I still love the Cranberries and this song is still my very favorite.

    Delores and I would be the same age now if she were still with us; when she passed, I had just the previous year tried the same thing... When I first heard “Linger” on the radio, I was driving down the interstate, and I somehow already knew all the words and sang with it. The song was already in me. I’ve never experienced that before. I’ve always felt such a deep connection with The Cranberries. I’ll never get over it.
