Do you know what the song 'Zombie', written in 1994, is about?

Let's find out!

'Zombie's genesis is traceable to 20 March 1993, when two bombs, planted by the Irish Republican Army, exploded in the northern English town of Warrington. The blast from the second bomb injured dozens of people, but most cruelly claimed the lives of three-year-old Jonathan Ball and 12-year-old Tim Parry: a twin tragedy that shocked and appalled both the UK and Irish public.

"I remember at the time there were a lot of bombs going off in England and The Troubles were pretty bad," singer Dolores O' Riordan said in a 2017 Classic Rock interview. "I remember being on tour and in the UK at the time... and just being really sad about it." [...]Deeply affected by the tragedy, O'Riordan began working on a song that reflected upon the event. [...]

"I don't care whether it's Protestant or Catholic, I care about the fact that innocent people are being harmed," she said. "That's what provoked me to write the song... It doesn't name terrorist groups or organisations. It doesn't take sides. It's a very human song."[...]

The Cranberries were later invited to perform 'Zombie' alongside Northern Irish political leaders John Hume and David Trimble at the ceremony for the 1998 Nobel Peace Prize.The song's anti-violence message continues to endure. During the 90s, Dolores O' Riordan dedicated it to citizens of Bosnia and Rwanda during live shows.[...]
