The conflict was originally between Ireland and UK. Ireland got their indipendance party by losing northern part to UK. In the northern parts there were people that did not want to be in the UK, mainly catholics and there were people being loyal to UK, mainly protestants. Those soldiers you see in the video is british. British troups against paramilitary/terrorist groups. This song is partly about the hate the cranberries received in UK while touring being irish and about the bombing in UK where a boy got killed. So 1916 till the good friday agreement got signed in the 90s. See the series Derry Girls about the Young generation growing up in the 90s. Sunday, bloody sunday is about an atrocity in the 60s. Irish demonstraters got killed by british police troups. During several years people thought those Young men really did have had Guns. It turned out when UK came clean that the police had planted weapons on their dead Bodies.
It's so sad how little Americans seem to know about basic parts of the world's culture and history. The Troubles are not small or secret. Come on guys.
That’s not the main meaning at all,there are certainly references to the Easter uprising but it was more specifically written about an IRA bombing in Warrington,England that killed two schoolchildren….here’s what Delores said about why she wrote the song. “There were a lot of bombs going off in London and I remember this one time a child was killed when a bomb was put in a rubbish bin -- that's why there's that line in the song, 'A child is slowly taken,'" O'Riordan told Songwriting Magazine. "We were on a tour bus and I was near the location where it happened, so it really struck me hard - I was quite young, but I remember being devastated about the innocent children being pulled into that kind of thing. So I suppose that's why I was saying, 'It's not me' - that even though I'm Irish it wasn't me, I didn't do it. Because being Irish, it was quite hard, especially in the UK when there was so much tension." She told Vox magazine in 1994 that the song was written in part as a mechanism to grapple with her identity as an Irish citizen that did not support the actions of the IRA. "The IRA are not me. I'm not the IRA. The Cranberries are not the IRA. My family are not. ... When it says in the song, 'It's not me, it's not my family,' that's what I'm saying. It's not Ireland".
The history is a lot more convoluted and complicated than that, and things aren't attributed entirely correctly, but yes this song is about "the troubles" in Northern Ireland which started with the Easter Uprising in Dublin in 1916 (and yes, Dublin is not in Northern Ireland, but it's directly related to events that subsequently unfurled), hence the lyric "it's the same old theme, since 1916" in the song. This soon lead to the Irish War of Independence and establishment of the Irish Free State in 1922, which did not include most of the ancient Irish province of Ulster due to a large proportion of the population there being descended from the plantations (English and Scottish colonisation of Ireland) of previous centuries. It's important to note that the Irish had been subjugated and dispossessed and colonised in Ireland for 800 years by the time "the troubles" started, and while it was by then framed as a Catholic vs. Protestant conflict, it's causes predate the entire Protestant and English reformations by centuries. Also important; it wasn't just British troops vs. Irish Catholic/republican militias and terrorists, there were (and are) Protestant/loyalist militias and terrorist groups as well. The song was written in the aftermath of the 1993 Irish Republican Army (IRA) bombing in Warrington in the UK which killed two boys, Johnathan Ball and Tim Parry, aged just 3 and 12. The Cranberries are an Irish band from the Republic of Ireland with Catholic backgrounds, yet lead singer Dolores wrote the song out of disgust at the deaths of innocent children and civilians in the name of achieving political goals. The Good Friday agreement was signed in 1998, finally ending the violence of the troubles. Whether this song had any influence on that, is up for debate. I would argue yes, but although I'm overwhelmingly of Irish ancestry, I'm from the Antipodes, so what the fuck would I know? Anyway, great song, great message, and something that everyone, especially politically minded activists and "freedom fighters" should heed. R.I.P. Dolores.
@@catrionacolville2192 yes in some extent i agree with you. It was not so long ago either. I grew up with news about the conflict on tv. It always seemed so strange to me as a child. A violent conflict in Europe..... so close... what is it about? I found the answer on my own.
I can’t listen to Cranberries anymore since Dolores’ pass, it’s so emotional to me. My favorite from them is “just my imagination”. The MV is so moving.
I love and hate this song in equal measure and it always makes me cry. At 46 years old I still suffer trauma from growing up in Belfast in the 80’s/90’s, being caught up in attacks and incidents and being a target of paramilitaries. I love seeing reactions to this song, but at the same time it reopens old wounds and old fears resurface 😢
Ok, Grunge music emerged in the late 1980s in Seattle, Washington, with bands like Green River, Melvins, and Mudhoney setting the stage. As the grunge concept became increasingly commercial and mainstream, the more it was rejected in its place of origin, Seattle. Grunge music is known for its raw, distorted guitar sound, accompanied by vocals filled with angst. It combines elements of punk rock, heavy metal, and indie rock. Grunge music addressed several hot-button societal issues, including depression, addiction, social isolation, and the disillusionment of youth with mainstream culture. Lyrics reflecting societal disillusionment and angst During the latter half of the 1990s, grunge was supplanted by post-grunge, which remained commercially viable into the start of the 21st century. Post-grunge transformed the thick guitar sounds and candid lyrical themes of the Seattle bands into an accessible, often uplifting mainstream aesthetic. I consider all of this for a songs to be Grunge. Not everyone will agree, and that's okay. I consider Garbarge post-grunge and Silverchar grunge post-grunge. Just like the music, not the band, it's Zombie Grunge. the genre started in Seattle but I believe the sound didn't just stagnate there. Anyway, anyone is free to disagree, fight🤷♀️, I'll enjoy good music🕺
To those commenting that The Cranberries aren't a Grunge band, and this song isn't Grunge, a clarification needs to be made. This song specifically IS Grunge. Yes, it is stylistically different to The Cranberries usual music, but this surely helped drive the success of the song in 1994 at the tail end of the Grunge era. I'm old enough to remember it's release as a kid, and no one was arguing that it wasn't Grunge, but it was a surprise to everyone to then hear the rest of their stuff which was great but not Grunge. Of course there are additional elements to this song, with heavy Celtic influences like Keening featuring prominently, but this song is still firmly a Grunge song. The abrasive aggressive dark tone of Grunge suits the subject matter of the song to perfection. It's as if the Grunge style was created to specifically lead to this song. The greatest Grunge song to ever be recorded was from a band who weren't Grunge... I said what I said. Suck it up 😜
BTW, if you are older enuff to be a kid when this came out... Bad news! I'm quite older than you and this is the first time in my life I see someone putting to "Zombie" a hanging hashtag with the word "grunge".
U2 are from Dublin in Ireland. The Cranberries are from Limerick in Ireland. Neither band is from Northern Ireland, where this video is filmed. There was a border between Ireland and Northern Ireland then. Zombie was written about bombings carried out by IRA terrorists in England when children were killed, and the anger directed towards Irish people as a consequence (I think).
It's mainly about the actions of the IRA - the song is extremely critical of them. "It's the same old theme since 1916 / In your head, they are still fighting" : Dolores is accusing the IRA of being 'zombies', using the Easter Rising in Dublin in 1916 (which led to Irish independence) as an excuse for present day terrorism and the killing of children.
The final image of this video - the close-up of the kid in B&W - is reminiscent of the cover of U2's WAR album, which as others have mentioned is also steeped in trauma caused by what was called "The Troubles" - sectarian violence between Catholic and Protestant paramilitaries in Northern Ireland. It was arguably even worse than the conflict between Ireland and Britain because it was literally neighbor against neighbor - folks who had been living peacefully side by side for decades were now being driven out of their homes by the people up the street. (Kenneth Branagh's autobiographical film BELFAST does an excellent job showing just how shocking these events were for everyday families who wanted nothing to do with political violence.)
Yes, this, and so many wars over the world, when the innocents die. The worst is that is the children and woman and men who don't want nothing of that is the most affect...while leaders survive😢
The conflict was nothing to do with religion and everything to do with British colonialism. Resistance/conflict ended in 1998 with the agreement to set up and devolve powers to a Northern Ireland government. Yes Britain also caused the potato famine.
This could apply to MAGA too. Stop being stupid. Immigrants are just people, we are all just humans. Be kind to your neighbours, we have more in common than we have differences.
I feel it. Coming from a Latin American country, hateful speeches always hurt. There are bad and good people anywhere in the world. It is not a nationality that defines our character. I hope that in the future people will be more empathetic towards strangers and different people
I'm not an expert at this video or the history of Ireland, but I've heard that the scenes of the soldiers weren't staged. This was actually going on while they shot those scenes. This indicates that the fighting was still going on while this video was released. Also, my understanding is that this video caused either a ceasefire or a dramatic de-escalation of what was currently happening due to it shining light on the situation. Apologies if any of this is inaccurate, but it's how I remember hearing about this.
But that is not what the song was about. It was about Johnathan Ball, 3 and Tim Parry, 12, killed in a blast in Warrington by the IRA. @@jameswiglesworth5004
Um, wasn't the troubles about the Protestants wanting to remain in the UK and the Catholics wanting to become part of Ireland? The accord was reached on 1998.
Yes, the Protestants are the offspring of British (mostly Scottish) colonial settlers that kicked the Catholics off the lands and subjugated them for hundred of years. Thats why they think theyre British. When Northern Ireland was created just over 100 years ago, the British government gerrymandered it to always give the Protestants the power.
This was one of my favorite bands in the 90s. Good choice. Zombie is always awesome. I just love that Grunge Week is not with Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden or Alice in Chains which are the otiginals and instead is with grunge-adjacent sound which I would call Alternative. Garbage, Silverchain, The Cranberries. I am betting on Colective Soul or Soul Asylum or Smashing Pumpkins so we can have a full not really grunge Grunge Week. 😂😂😂😂
Hang on there, England was never really very nice? We tried to bring peace to both Irelands and many British young men died trying to do just that. Watch the movie '71. And it wasn't just England but the British.
Nick should be fired lol Cranberries is not grunge!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! RIP to Dolores O Riordan, the lead singer of the Cranberries. When you think of grunge, think of the bands that came out of seattle in the early 90s, not a band from Ireland.
It's Vic n nick 😅 grunge typically uses electric guitar, bass guitar, drums and strong vocals. Lyrics are typically angst-filled and introspective, often addressing themes such as social alienation, self-doubt, abuse, neglect, betrayal, social and emotional isolation, addiction, psychological trauma and a desire for freedom. The song has grunge-style distorted guitar and shouted vocals. The Band wasn't Grunge, but the song Zombie is. But, anyone, you, is free to think wich is right. But for me the song is grunge
@@buzzardbeatniks i lived through the Grunge era. If i had to name THE Grunge Bands of the 90s - for me - (there were much more great Grunge Bands) i would choose, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Hole, Sonic Youth, Smashing Pumpkins, The Breeders.
There's a grunge-style distorted guitar and shouted vocals uncharacteristic of the other works of Cranberries, thats why I choose. But yes, the Band is not grunge
@@kasperhate1979 Yeah, Im not sure I'd include Sonic Youth or The Breeders but it's still a more accurate list than what we've seen so far. But having said that I like The Cranberries and Garbage too.

This is a cult classic for the ages & if you like Miley Cyrus at all, check out her live cover of Zombie. She absolutely killed it!!!

With Christmas around the corner, I thought you'd really like & appreciate: Celine Dion O Holy Night (from the 1998 "These are Special Times" TV special) It's nice to discover truly genuine people that aren't overexagerated just for a Like.
