Music Review

Everyone has a band or some that is totally weird but they love it all the same. The Cranberries is that band to me. Yes, I was only 5 years old when they had their debut success but I had always liked the song "Dreams" and when I heard "Linger", I was in love.
Lately, I have discovered another song of theirs called "Zombie". At first, I thought it was retarded because of the crazy way she sings in the song but I found out that I couldn't stop listening to it! Soon, I knew all the lyrics even if I didn't know what they meant. Now, I think I do know and I love them.
Here they are:

Another head hangs lowly,
Child is slowly taken.
And the violence caused such silence,
Who are we mistaken?

But you see, it's not me, it's not my family.
In your head, in your head they are fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are crying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...

Another mother's breakin',
Heart is taking over.
When the vi'lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.

It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...

In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...


Yeah, kind of morbid and even though it applies the the Easter Rising of 1916, I think it applies to most of us today since we have been at war with the middle east for how many years?

I am not one of those war hating hippies but I do have to remind myself about our troops fighting for us and the troops that have fought for us over the years.

I know to many of you, the music is not to your taste so I don't have it playing anywhere but if you want to watch the music video, you can watch it here:
