Who sId anyrhin about a song ya tube..also one song doesnt equat to fck all ..






Eta..u do realise she only released that song for profit how much did she donate ??

Why would she donate anything? She made a statement against the IRA and should be applauded for it, don't international celebrities usually do the opposite?

So if you haven't misunderstood the meaning of the lyrics in 'zombie' why do you call her IRA loving scum? Is it cos she is Irish?

You are uninformed, and not really someone i would miss if the IRA was to bomb you...

Iam guessing you have donated 100% of youre earnings to "the cause" (whatever that might be?) You dont work for money, do you, only for charity, else it would make you a hypocrite, right?

The song brought fair attention to the topic. While the dad of the slain boys is thankful, dedicating to her, he wasn't aware of the song. Apparently, from the reception of her passing and later musical participation,the band has become more widely known over time, more so out of the Alternative(and or former Grunge teens) in the 90s. Not to say they were weren't mainstream being on MTV, billboards, more but they weren't exactly U2 fame wise(which will mention further on).

I was into them as a younger teenager, identifying mostly as Irish(not knowing much about my heritage then) having them as an option of rock music as opposed to U2 at the time out of Ireland, gave me more even insight into the heritage. Being that teens associate a lot through music and all.I never once thought she supported the IRA(wouldn't be interested in them if they did), the song wasn't about supporting the IRA either so dunno where such an assertion came from. Seems more like mis-purported anger just because.

This band holds a special place in my heart, because my mother was very fond of them... may she rest in peace, as well as Dolores. One of my favorite names, too, Dolores... but that's actually because of an old Seinfeld episode. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.

A few days ago, her cause of death was made public:

I feel heartbroken for her because her life had taken a bad turn in recent years, and she died alone, and from what I understand, while seperated from her children. In interviews she talks about her children constantly, I can only presume she was devistated.

Here's one of the earliest views we ever had of Dolores, singing one of her most beautiful songs (an alternate video for "dreams"):
