The song is about poorly solved problems and the consequences were paid but totally innocent people.

¨it´s not me, it´s not my family¨
It refers to the fact that the family of the people in that situation are not the guilty ones or even being involved, who should not be suffering the consequences of the actions of other people

I totally agree with the song and the singer wants to represent people affected by the actions of other peopl

The song speaks of silence from authorities, expressed in "when violence caused such silence", a topic with which I do not agree, since that silence caused by the violence could have been stopped by the authorities, perhaps they could go out, speak and calm their nation who needed to be heard. They were due to difficult times of bombs and weapons , but the authorities preferred to remain silent, and with that silence also silence their people in such need.

The track I chose is where they briefly talk about Innocent Victims in war in the CrawBerries song Zombie.
"The child is taken slowly
And violence caused such silence"
I found this theme too strong. we can imagine the kinds of things that happened in the wars.

The song "Zombie" refers to the war that exists between southern and northern Ireland, resulting in victims, innocent people, like Jonathan Ball and Tim Parry. both children were the inspiration for this song, who protest against the indifference of the government, seeing that those who suffer and die are children, like these two mentioned above, as he says in the following verse "Another mother's breaking heart, Is taken over"
In my opinion, that is not the way to solve problems, when the problem is that of the governments of the countries, with thousands of innocent people being more affected.

This song is about violence, confrontations, and war, it talks about how innocent people die

Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken

In my opinion, I find that the theme of the song is good, since many innocent people, small children, mothers, and many people were unjustly murdered.

This song has several themes since in itself it talks about the conflict with Northern Ireland (1916) where there were many victims, deaths of innocent children and all the violence generated by Northern Ireland, it can be said that this was for decades (70 and 80)

quoting it verbatim.
Another mother's breakin '
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken
I think creating this song in a protest tone was the best because at least I didn't know what happened at that time and I got to know it thanks to the song.

I totally agree with the song as it expresses very well the suffering experienced by all the people who do not want to interfere but even if they do not want to, they still lose their lives, because in this type of situation no one is safe.

And I also find that what the singer says about the suffering of her own family is very explicit. However, I am dissatisfied with how they talk about the military since, believe it or not, they are people with feelings. In the song they are treated like "zombies" by people who have no feelings

They also express the feelings of the mothers when they see that because of that war they are worried that their children will die just by leaving home as happened to the two children

this song is about a conflict in Northern Ireland and the death of two children, that war was a series of battles with a high rate of violence, "Zombie" mentions only two children who died on the Falls Road killed by a group of armed soldiers with machine guns.

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken?
But you see it's not me
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie

in my opinion this song is very good because it talks about a terrible real event, zombie
 It gives us to understand that their minds are upset and that they have stopped being people to become zombies. They have forgotten moral principles and do not mind taking the lives of two innocent children for the sole purpose of achieving their mission.

The message of the song wants to make known the wars and all the misfortunes that the conflict entails and the deaths of innocent people due to the conflicts of the most powerful (the violence already caused so much silence, who are wrong) and I think that these things continue to happen through the attempt of supremacy of the human being.

The song "zombie" talks about violence towards inoscent people, as there is a fragment of the song that says:

"But you see, it's not me It's not my family In your head, in your head, they are fighting With their tanks, and their bombs And their bombs, and their guns In your head, in your head they are crying".

In which the singer says that she and her family are innocent, as several citizens are too, who died for an unjust reason (war, fighting, terrorism).
I quite agree with what the singer says, since she tells the truth about what happened in her native place.
Today, the same or similar situations could happen, in which a lot of uneducated people could die, without having anything to do with the issue.

The song talks about War and I agree with the song because war only causes chaos and death. but at the same time war is necessary as it helps to resolve political differences (which in the majority can be resolved by talking) I think that The war should not involve innocent people but rather those who did not reach an agreement. In the part where she says "the violence caused such silence" I agree as she refers to the fact that after the attack to which the song refers the politicians did not say anything, for that reason innocent people paid, I also think that The phrase goes to the public since they did not want to express their discontent out of fear. War is a problem that is still being seen, and it affects many countries and people. families lose loved ones and people fall into despair

The song is about the war that involves innocent children and families, he is the subject that I am going to talk about in the song, about the "innocent victims".

The part of the song is as follows:
"Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken?
But you see it's not me
It's not my family
In your head, in your head
They are fighting".

In my opinion, I agree with what the song says, since the war involves innocent people only because of a disagreement between countries, being that the death of relatives, people, children, among others, are deaths only because of an idea not shared.

The song was inspired by the IRA bombing in Warrington, Cheshire, England on March 20, 1993. Two children, Jonathan Ball and Tim Parry, were killed. The IRA (Irish Republican Army) is a militant group that was determined to remove British troops from Northern Ireland.

"But you see, it's not me It's not my family"

In this lyrics the singer means that the terrorist are killing families who are inocent and they have nothig to do with the conflict between the two countries.

I agree with this lyrics, because of the accions of others there are some people who is dying for nothing.

My opinion is that the topic tries to inform us about the deaths that occurred in the wars of the innocent and of many families.

As discussed above, the song "Zombie" (by the musical group "The Cranberries") addresses important issues related to the suffering and desolation faced, day after day, by hundreds of families around the world as a result of violence. In the theme you can identify the verse "another mother's breaking heart is taken over...", which refers to the pain and grief experienced by many mothers, fathers and families, due to the loss of little innocents.
Personally, I agree with what the singer expresses, because I consider that extreme violence (wars or others) brings with it many misfortunes and sadness in thousands of people, so they should not exist anymore.

The fragment of the song that I chose talks about the independence of the United Kingdom who wanted to take control of the country by the independentists and Irish Republicans my opinion is that I do not agree because they had killed people to achieve the independence of the United Kingdom then by the military they thought like zombies they didn't think of people and they didn't act like normal people.

the song is about violence towards
innocent people like the following
paragraphs:

"Another mother is breaking
The heart is taking over "
"When violence causes silence"
"We must be wrong"

In my opinion, the song describes the cause of the victims well.
innocent

the zombie song was about many themes like innocent victims.
It appears in the first paragraph which says it is not me, it is not my family, if I agree since it shows that the military does not listen and take innocent people

the song talks about the war and all the people who died because of the bomb attacks and the armed confrontations, just as the verse says: "It's the same old theme since 1916", talking about that that was the year in where the war started, and where innocent lives were lost.

For my part, I agree with the message of the song, because war can take everything in just one second

the song zombies talks about a case of 2 children who were killed by a bomb case in my opinion it is good that it talks about the cases that happen every day because of the phrase "and the violence was silent" about the violence that exists in places in the world and causes silence and nobody does anything in these cases

I think that the lyrics of the song are too real in accordance with the reality of the war and the innocent people who are not involved like those 2 innocent children, that will always happen for example the women of Afghanistan with the Palistans freedom has to be for the whole world and peace even more.

This song talks about a conflict, in which innocent people such as Tim Parry and Jonathan Ball died who were killed by a bomb by the Irish Republican army, people in which the singer was inspired to make the song also refers to the violence she suffered among the British troops.

In my opinion I think that this song has marked a lot in the history of music since it shows the situation that was lived in those times, "in your head, in your head they are fighting, with their tanks and their bombs and their bombs. and their weapons. in your head, in your head they are crying "this part of the song interprets at that time as at the present time that the thinking of some places that are in conflict has not changed much.
