    Being a former Belfast girl this song means a lot to me 1916 was the year of the Rebellion in Ireland, 1969 was when "The Troubles" as we call it really ramped up. My generation (same as Dolores) were all just tired of it, listen to Sunday Bloody Sunday by U2 and one of the lines is "how long? How long must we sing this song?
    Having lived through it, I'm still saddened by what I thought at the time was completely normal eg. Stopping to get searched every time you go into a store, it doesn't matter that you're an eight-year-old

    The song was written as a response to 2 boys (aged 3 & 12) who were killed in the IRA (Irish Republican Army) bombings in Warrington, England. If you'd like to learn more about the Irish Rebellion of 1916, I highly recommend the movies Michael Collins starring Liam Neeson & The Wind That Shakes the Barley starring Cillian Murphy.

    • @brownsey1
      @brownsey1 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      The Wind That Shakes the Barley is better when it comes to the history and giving a more well rounded view of the period, although they do play on the socialist angle too much given it's based on west Cork, a very rural area. Michael Collins is all over the shop with its history and is a bit over the top if I'm honest in portraying Collins as the one and only man to be able to push the movement forward.

    • @81ghale
      @81ghale 2 ปีที่แล้ว +6

      Thanks for the recommendations. I’ll def check out The Wind That Shakes, Cillian Murphy is great in everything I’ve seen him in. Of course Liam is a great actor too so I’ll probably watch that one too. In America we didn’t learn about this, at least not where I’m from so I’ve read some and have a basic (very) understanding, but I want to learn what exactly has happened and why.

    You talked about Dolores's singing voice. It may well be attributed to her Gaelic roots. It's called 'keening'. It is a wailing sound that was used in Ireland long ago to 'wake' (mourn) the dead. The word comes from the Irish “caoineadh”, pronounced like “queena” and it means crying or a lament. ☘🇮🇪

      That is the most tragic part of what happened to Dolores. If only someone was with her, if only someone realised, if only the staff checked on her. I am certain she never wanted this to happen. So tragic.

      Then when Brexit was going on; there were understandable fears that Brexit could bring about a revival of The Troubles. I listened to a song by American gospel singer Kelly Price called "Tired" following the news last year that a bus in Belfast, Northern Ireland had been hijacked and burned along with the subsequent violence that followed. This violence consisted of teenagers throwing bombs, bricks, stones and bottles at themselves and at police officers sent to stop the violence. The Catholic Unionist population of Northern Ireland was and no doubt still is tired of the violence by the Irish Republican Army, the police officers and the British Army; tired of being treated like scum by the politicians in Belfast and London, tired of the rigged court system siding with the Protestant Loyalists, etc.

      Me too. On both sides, I had family that fled & family that stayed. Those that stayed inevitably lost loved ones to The Troubles.
      The last time I was there was in 1999, and there was still tension in Northern Ireland that made some friends & family too paranoid to try to visit us in Dublin.
      Even today, that underlying tension is *still* festering.

    Dolores said she wrote this song after the 1993 IRA bombings in Warrington Town in Cheshire, England. Some 56 people were injured in the blasts, as well as a boy 3, and a boy 12, who both died. The Cranberries were on tour in Liverpool at the time, some 30 km away. Immediately following the bombings there was a huge uprising of anger and revulsion both in England and Ireland. Dolores went on the say that she felt tremendous guilt.

    You really need to react to Jeff Healey. Blind rock/blues guitarist from Canada who developed his own style to play the guitar. You’ll see. Highly underrated, he and his band rose to fame when they released their debut album in 1988 and performed in the movie Roadhouse alongside Patrick Swayze. Several tours and albums followed until, sadly, Jeff passed away (battling cancer) in 2008. I don’t want to give too many spoilers in advance, just please do treat yourself to something extraordinary, I promise you a jaw-dropping experience. I recommend this video for a first reaction: th-cam.com/video/gwgOUzodS6E/w-d-xo.html

    Ireland was under British rule and there have been many battles for Irish independence. Britain was fighting in the Great War, WW1. The Irish saw this as an opportunity to attack and during Easter week in 1916, there was a rising in Dublin. The rebels were defeated but it kick started Ireland on the road to independence. Independence was granted and Ireland became a free state in 1919. But at the loss of 6 of Ireland's 32 counties to the Crown. The new fight began in Northern Ireland which comprises of the 6 counties, between paramilitary groups, with the IRA (catholic) fighting for a united Ireland and loyalist (protestants) who wanted to remain under British rule. Many terrible terror attacks happened from both sides. The song Zombie is in response to the death of two children in an IRA bombing in the Cheshire town of Warrington in 1993. Thankfully The Troubles have calmed down a bit, but it still rears its ugly head from time to time.

    The heart of the meaning of the song was,to me, directed to those who agree to fight in a war when the general purpose for it is either unclear to those who are fighting or supporting it being more influenced by what they were told they have to do in support of the war even though it is only in the best interest of those who sold the war to the public. The song writer is bringing the question to the minds of those that fight in and support the war “what’s in your head, zombie?”
    Seeing as how the social toll that war takes on society by killing of people in mass is still not enough to bring the question to the minds of those who continue to support war of “what am I really accomplishing here?”, in spite of seeing what carnage it creates even in their own lives.
    The writer also suggests that the “zombies” further justify the destruction by reasoning in their own minds that “it’s not my family”, not realizing that the mental impact hits them just as hard, since we are all part of the human family, the waves of destruction we participate in are also coming back to ripple into our own “family”.
    Interesting that the singer died so young expectedly too. I’m sure that is just a coincidence though, go back to sleep…….

    Bad Wolves covered this song and Delores was supposed to be a feature on it but sadly she passed right before they were set to record. They weren't going to do it but they did and donated all the proceeds to her 3 children. I must admit it was fire and they did pay tribute to her in the video. I suggest you watch it

    Apparently Delores wrote this after the IRA set off a bomb in Warrington England in which a young toddler a 3yr old boy was killed. The 1916 reference is the Easter rising in the South of Ireland but mainly in Dublin. There are still tensions in the North but not as much as they used to.

    This is the music of my time, the more you learn about the background of the song, the better the song becomes. I didn't know any Irish at the time, but many English soldiers who were in Northern Ireland themselves and/or had many friends who served there, some of whom died in the conflicts. EVERYONE loved that song back then. The Irish and the English.

    As someone from Northern Ireland, 'born & reared' & still here, can I just add some info too... But it's a long comment to tell all of it...
    I feel the name given to this time was to downplay it to begin with, so 1 side could show how unaffected they were by anything the other side done, (all sides showing this btw), but it was the innocent people that were suffering from it all. People need to realise the "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland were not just protests & riots or civil unrest, it was a full blown civil war, that continued for over 30yrs & 3500 INNOCENT people, died as a result of bombs, shootings, beatings' etc. The whole situation started in 1916, when Ireland was split in two...the North remaining part of the UK, while the South was 'given' back to the Irish. Britain wanted to stay in control & rule at least part of Ireland, whereas Ireland wanted the whole country to be free from English rule.
    People were 'taken' by the opposite side to be interrogated, most didn't come back & even now their bodies have never been recovered. Young children were recruited by the paramilitaries on both sides too 'join & fight for the cause', whole families got brought in too...they would get into people's heads by claiming it was the right thing, the only thing to do... women involved would use a baby in a pram, to get bombs passed the checks into shops, public transport etc in town/cities. Everyone was stopped & had any bags checked through, just like at an airport customs check...shops banned baby's prams/strollers etc from going in... Towns/cities had barriers to close off them off in the evenings, so vehicles couldn't get in...There were certain areas that we couldn't go into because of fear of attacks, even as kids. Bomb threats & beatings' were common, as was a huge presence of police & army walking/driving around in full body armour & semi-automatic rifles etc.
    My Mum is a local girl from outside Belfast, my Dad was in the British army at the time(now retired). I've lived in Northern Ireland my whole life, right through the 80s-90s. We would fill the bath with water every night & put several towels in it, just incase our home was 'petrol bombed' (set on fire with a Molotov Cocktail) overnight. The towels were to place over our heads & hold over our mouths & noses, so we could breathe through the smoke, so we could get out of the house. My Dad was told by British army to change his name when he arrived, he had to use his middle name instead, as British army said his 1st name would cause 'issue' with each side in the conflict ...
    At the start the British army were brought in to help the Catholic side of the community here but it soon shifted to helping the Protestant community instead, then it became a 3way war - with Catholics fighting Protestants/Protestants fighting Catholics & both fighting British army independently of each other as they said the British were protecting the opposite side... Everyday was the same, more anger, more hatred, more fighting. I guess, like many on here, as I was born during it(in 1979), I grew up through it & knew no different, that it was just normal, everyday life here. Now there's been 'peace' for a while, when we look back, we can see just how bad it was. I was sheltered from alot of it, due to where I lived & my family making sure we didn't get pulled in by paramilitary groups. I had a large family with lots of cousins, so we really just played/hung a round in family groups, away from other kids. I had a rough childhood, in a war-torn country, but it was still a fun-filled childhood with lots of love & laughter, running about, playing our silly innocent kid games outside... just as long as we stayed within shouting distance from our home & our parents knew where we were & who we were with at all times.
    Also that 'yodelling' sort of sound Dolores makes is called 'keening' is a form of the traditional Irish intense wailing sound made particularly by mothers who have lost their child, but also some other mourners after a death, during a funeral & wake. The images in the video are all real, these are the 'normal' images people in Northern Ireland saw every single day for over 30yrs...
