Description
«Zombie» is a protest song by Irish alternative rock band the Cranberries, written by the band’s lead singer Dolores O’Riordan about The Troubles in Northern Ireland. It was released on 19 September 1994 as the lead single from their second studio album, No Need to Argue (1994), two weeks ahead of the album’s release. Music critics have long recognized «Zombie» as «a masterpiece of alternative rock», as well as a grunge number uncharacteristic of the band’s other work.
