Let’s get those psychic currents flowing…
Guaranteed to induce a PCE
Lovely to hear an actual piano. Complete with mechanical noise.
This women know something…read the description.
This acoustic version is the most intense goosebumper I’ve heard in a while…Hope this goosebumping is somewhat connected to the altruistic intent to self-immolate lol because this goosebumping is running way too strong in me…Its like in some parts of this tune I can connect to the idea of “I will gladly and cheerfully sacrifice myself” and then I imagine jumping off the cliff leaving everyone behind…lol but that could be physical suicide…careful shank, you’ve been warned of that route
I played this song live with my band when I was 18. The Cranberries were huge then.
Wow that’s cool ![]()
The Cranberries were a revelation, the incredible musicality, with the exotic Irish accent, amazing drummer.
I haven’t thought about the lyrics to “Zombie” since actualism came along, but they are aligned. Blindly persuing war like a Zombie.
To put it into a physical analogy, it was as if I were to gather up my meagre belongings, eradicate all marks of my stay on the island, and paddle away over the horizon, all the while not knowing whence I go … and vanish without a trace, never to be seen again. As no one on the mainland knew where I was, no one would know where I had gone. In fact, I would become as extinct as the dodo and with no skeletal remains. The autological self by whatever name would cease to ‘be’, there would be no ‘spirit’, no ‘presence’, no ‘being’ at all. This was more than death of the ego, which is a major event by any definition; this was total annihilation. No ego, no soul – no self, no Self – no more Heavenly Rapture, Love Agapé, Divine Bliss and so on. Only oblivion. It was not at all attractive, not at all alluring, not at all desirable … yet I knew I was going to do it, sooner or later, because it was the ultimate condition and herein lay the secret to the ‘Mystery of Life’.
Much better option ![]()
