Dolores wearing platform heels shows its era! The chain smoking old codger with the angel wings, desperately trying -and failing to escape from the trap he's in..
The song is about missing her partner when on tour (she had married a year before) but also the relationship she had when she ran away from home, which turned abusive so she had to escape from it). It's complex and highly personal like a lot of Dolores stuff!. But it's real - and the pain is real which is why it's so brilliant.
I'd forgot this song even existed. I gave away my cranberries cds maybe 7 years ago after having not listened to them in about 5 and I forgot this song until tonight i was looking up cranberries songs as some sort of nostalgia thing and it's dumb that i'd even forgot about it because i always thought this was their catchiest along with Dreams. As soon as it started it brought back flood of memories.
I did the same thing with a Johnny Cash CD, I've since re-bought the CD! Now I make a point never to sell CDs. I still have my Good Charlotte CD I bought when I was a Kid and Kerrang told me to... who knows, maybe in 20 years I'l glance over it, blow of the dust, pop into my (then) retro CD player, and then try and sell it!
The lyrics are understandable of course, but I never really got the video. I don't always get their videos actually... I'd love it if someone would be kind enough to discuss this one with me, please...
She is missing the dead father of her child. She is looking for him and he is shown as the angel of death who has crossed over to see her. She and his friends can't see him. He spends some time with them but has to go back which is why he appears to die at the end. It's sad because she can't see him or be with him. He can see her but can't talk to her. This is my take on the video.
That's a great take on it! Thanks for sharing your thoughts; I'm looking at the video with fresh eyes now. Still, I don't get the part when she's her holding the burning torch... what does a burning torch represent? Does it represent, for example, her love still burning for him? Or does it mean she's searching for something??
I think both ways you mention can work. I always felt that the burning torch she was carrying was to seek him out. It could also easily represent her love that is still burning for him. This video means a lot to me because I lost my sons father when he was a baby and felt as she does. Looking for him but not finding him because he is dead. Missing him and what we had planned for our child. Hope that helps!

@arethosemyfeetyesh hahaha so ignorant, I'm sorry for you If I offended your beliefs hahaha, but I'm just commenting... it sounds like those other songs, I'm not saying I dont enyoi it, just calm down, if you want to insult people go insult someone go actually cares hahahaha
The shots of her starting at 1:48 without a hat in the field... I think that is the most beautiful I've ever seen her. Her voice is always the most beautiful -- what a blessing from of God.
vetherantis, im not from england, im frm mexico, but i support all irish, i said england for the british and ireland for the irish cause iono, its a meaning like every1 should respect their countries and dont attack each other , no war... im against war
mate its not as simple as that the northern irish want to stay british there have been many polls made, thats the only reason they stay part of Great Britain
brianajs ..England for the british? British meaning you come from the Britain...meaning england,nireland wales and scotland.
I am Irish and I live in England.. I dont believe in all this feud business. If people cant just get along in this day and age then I think its pathetic.
I have an English accent and people would judge me in Ireland and not even ask my decent. too many people are up for stupid arguments.
Forget it all and just celebrate Irish/British culture and drop the hate.

the flu doesnt come from mexico, IT COMES FROM CALIFORNIA, SO I GUESS UR FROM AMERICA, and belive in american news, check the NEWS TODAY IN AMERICA and tehy say they made a mistake, the flu is from FUCKING USA, and second I DONT CARE IF UR BRITISH, IRELAND IS FOR THE IRISH, , and ur right i dont know about IRELAND AND ENGLAND but all i can say is IRELAND FOR THE IRISH, ENGLAND FOR THE BRITISH. thats fair. and u should check where the flu REALLY CAME
and im from mexico, ireland is so green, and so precious, british ppl should get the fck away from there o_O england for the british ireland for the irelands, thats fair :O no1 attacks no1
shut up u idiot haha u have no idea what your'e talkin about + clearly no knowledge of the conflict in ireland. england is just as green as ireland so just shut up + stop making yourself look like an idiot publically
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
to be honest mate, youre from mexico and thanks to you and all your friends shagging pigs, half the world is suffering from a flu epidemic... thanks, we'll remember this one..
Whenever I hear this girl's voice I feel as though I were dreaming. Man, can she sing! What a wonderful, sweet voice. Five stars is not enough for the Crenberries.
actually, Irish people don't all sound the same, there's some very different accents, I'm froM Antrim so i have quite a different accent from someone from Derry, and a very different accent from Mayo or Cork. You can always tell a Northerner from someone from down South. Same in England I suppose, and the way New Yorkers would speak differently from someone from Florida or something.
Great song I love it, but I do find the vid a bit odd
