Zombie

"Zombie" wasn't written to be a protest song — it happened because a bomb went off in an English shopping street and killed a three-year-old boy. The Cranberries were a dream-pop band from Limerick before Dolores O'Riordan turned her grief into the heaviest track they'd ever recorded. Thirty years later, most people who scream the chorus have no idea which bombing it's about. Did you know the real story behind "Zombie" before today? Save this for later.
