It started as Dolore's reaction to two kids being killed in an IRA attack but the band went on to perform it as a protest against all violence. I'm pretty sure this song helped bring peace to the situation. And about time as it had been going on since 1916. Thousands of people died across Ireland, Northern Ireland and England during those times from terrorists attacks and government retaliations.

These are the scenes of my youth - I grew up and still live in N. Ireland. The army was everywhere, machine guns were a non-remarkable thing cos they were an every day sight. Bombs & bomb scares were so common that they became almost 'normal'......Police & Army checkpoints were every few miles, so you would have to produce photo ID....most times with an AK-47 inches away from your face. Our so-called 'peace' is still very fragile. Thank you for reacting to this, and R.I.P. Dolores for giving us this song💔....it is part of our history and 'The Troubles'. It's message is overwhelming powerful.

On 15 January 2018, Dolores O'Riordan died unexpectedly in London, England. The inquest into her death was adjourned until 3 April while the coroner awaited the results of "various tests". On 6 September 2018, it was ruled that she had drowned in her hotel room's bathtub due to sedation by alcohol poisoning.

Dolores once said in concert "This song is a cry against the bombings in London, and the war in Ireland, and it needs to stop." Her voice is missed. That technique she used in this song is called keening, and Irish use it at funerals. I grew up in an Irish Catholic neighborhood here in the US and learned IRA propoganda songs as a boy. The Troubles as they were called go back centuries, but they started up again in 1916, which us referred to in the song. If you read the history of Ireland it will break your heart, so much tragedy on all sides.

Good reaction, thank you both. It is a protest song, the war between Ireland and the UK, the struggle to reunite Northern Ireland with the republic of Ireland from the hands of the British empire, not from the good English people themselves. Many innocent souls were lost, on both sides. After hearing about 2 more innocent boys getting killed by a bomb, Dolores RIP wrote this song in protest against all the violence and begged for a truce and peace through this song. This song has more than 1.3 billion views Please pray for the people in Gaza, Palestine etc. tonight as they are going through this right now. Peace and love from Ireland

The Troubles in Northern Ireland can still be a contentious issue because of how recent it was. There are still walls (like the Berlin wall) separating catholic and protestant communities in Belfast, the Police still drive around in armoured IED-resistant vehicles and carry guns (and remember, in the rest of the UK standard police do not carry guns), and there are still paramilitary murals, flags, parades and groups everywhere. It's too simple to call the IRA a terrorist group, but it's also too simple to call the rUK oppressors. It's a nuanced situation that has led to the deaths of many many innocents.

As someone from Northern Ireland, can I just add some info too... 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. 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...

Yup Unfortunately Folks like me you are old enough to understand this just like Other Version Zombie more relevant today than it was back then and they're still fighting but with way more powerful accurate weapons like drones which is a new add on in badwolves that everyone likes in that version so it updates what Dolores was trying to say all those years ago about if nothing changes nothing changes but us and more ways to wipe us out that's why today especially this song means way more than people realize it means even back in 1994 it was about kids being killed in another senseless war that could have been discussed diplomatically but since WW1 the world has been on another collision course of epic disaster like Dolores talks about here in my favorite song of hers Zombie. This song has more meaning than all the songs combined in the last 10 years which unfortunately says something about where are species has been heading since 1916 like she said in this powerful song just like my other meaningful favorite song from 1994 Keep talking from Pink Floyd which are society has stopped for along time now and if we don't wake up fast there will be another World War if we keep up the track we're heading on it's a recipe for catastrophe on all levels now never thought possible in 2023 but like me and my WW2 veteran family members that are still alive think specially after the last 3 years if eye awakening moments of nobody saw coming until it was stearing us right in the face and we couldn't look away no more but unfortunately it was to late another massive war in Europe that could have been avoided from communication and diplomacy once again we chose poorly It's like one my favorite songs Folks Keep Talking from my favorite bands Pink Floyd when Stephen Hawking did his famous Commercial in the 90s saying as long as Mankind keeps communicating the human race still has a chance to turn it around no matter how close we get to another catastrophic global disaster like now we face in 2023.

The IRA was created when the British army started attacking Irish people and killed many. Look up the story of Bloody Sunday when British paratroopers shot dead Civil Rights protesters in Derry. A long inquiry put the blame on the British soldiers. Dolores was not criticising the IRA alone, in the video the kid is killed by a British soldier. She was attacking violence no matter where it was coming from. To the Irish, the IRA was their only protection from the right wing government in Northern Ireland, they were in cahoots with the police and the British Army to kill Irish people who protested against the fact that Irish people didn't have civil rights in their own country. The protests were inspired by the civil rights movement of Martin Luther King.
