Halloween Playlist
“Zombie” by the Cranberries is easily one of the band’s biggest songs and has remained that way since its release in 1994. It hit number one in several countries, sold more than 1.5 million copies worldwide, and has been streamed over 500 million times on Spotify. That’s a lot of zombies in people’s heads!
But, here’s the real shocker – the song was written as a protest against the IRA bombing in Warrington, England, in 1993, which killed two children. So next time you’re singing along to “Zombie” at the top of your lungs, remember that it’s about peace and remembering the victims of violence.
