Song 335 (The Cranberries--"Zombie")



This song has been going through my mind for the last little bit, so I figured that it needed chosen. This is probably The Cranberries' biggest hit and if you were alive in the mid to late 90's this song was unavoidable. The song's subject matter is about the political unrest and blood being spilt in Northern Ireland; specifically an IRA attack that killed two young boys in Warrington, Cheshire England. Thankfully today, for the most part, clearer heads have prevailed in this conflict. The vocals and music really compliment the message of this protest song a lot.
