The Cranberries stepped into the lush landscape of ’90s music with ethereal harmonies and dreamlike narratives. One gem that epitomizes their soothing embrace is the song ‘Dreams.’ It’s a track that transcends its temporal origins, becoming immortalized in the hearts of those who find solace in its melody.

In 1993, The Cranberries released a track that would not only encapsulate the raw ache of betrayal but also secure a permanent place in the pantheon of heartbreak anthems. ‘Linger’—a term that denotes staying in a place longer than necessary—here transforms into a narrative that weaves love, deception, and the haunting grip of memories. This article delves into the layers beneath its haunting melody and poetic lyrics.

In the vault of iconic anthems that blend the anguish of war with the poignancy of folk melodies, The Cranberries’ ‘Zombie’ stands as a monumental testament to music’s power to convey profound messages. Released in 1994, during the grunge-tinged dawn of post-modern rock, ‘Zombie’ immediately distinguished itself not just as a chart-topping hit but as a cerebral confrontation with the violence that ravaged Northern Ireland during the Troubles.
