fun facts

Debbie Harry was inspired to write "One Way or Another" after being stalked. she said: "I was actually stalked by a nutjob so it came out of a not-so-friendly personal event. But I tried to inject a little bit of levity into it to make it more lighthearted. I think in a way that’s a normal kind of survival mechanism. You know, just shake it off, say one way or another, and get on with your life. Everyone can relate to that and I think that’s the beauty of it"

"Zombie" is about the violence in “The Troubles,” the decades-long conflict in Northern Ireland between nationalists (mainly self-identified as Irish or Roman Catholic) and unionists (mainly self-identified as British or Protestant). Dolores O'Riordan wrote the song during the band’s English tour in 1993 in memory of two young boys, Tim Parry and Johnathan Ball, who were killed in an IRA bombing in Warrington, England.

Thank you so much for the tag @sleeplessincarcosa ✨

top ten favorite bands/musicians tag game!! This is gonna be a fun one!! I will include as much genres as possible...

Metallica - This band has been a part of me for as long as I could remember. It is a huge part of my childhood, and we even have a family tradition involving this band. Their music (and Guitar Hero) shaped my music taste into what it is today. And it was through this band I met a handful of wonderful friends whom I trust, and had fond memories with. Music-wise, they're very Mid™ imo, but "... And Justice For All" is a culturally significant banger and I will die on that hill. Also I have the biggest crush on Jason Newsted, so I consider that a bias too.

Varien - We all love a diverse Queen! She's mostly electronic music, and she's certainly not limited to a certain genre. Love her sound, listening to her albums feels like opening a box of chocolates, you never know what flavor you're gonna get, but guaranteed it's a banger. I put her high up the list because, I've been listening to her music throughout my college life when I needed music to comfort me. And when she came out, it was also about the time I have found out that I am trans and nonbinary. From that point on, I began to be more comfortable with myself, and eventually made me what I am today - proud and significantly more confident than before.

Shadow Of Intent - Of all my favorite deathcore bands, I chose this one because it's the first proper deathcore band I liked. Hearing "Reclaimer" for the first time was such an experience for me, that it decided that my favorite genre should be deathcore from now on. Before that, I was listening to....

BROJOB - THE Gayest Band On Earth ™

Periphery - The band with my most looped/played music, like ever. They're a prog metal band, more specifically Djent is not a genre. Their music is so full of texture and changing emotions, it's really hard to get sick of their music on loop for weeks on end. "Absolomb", according to Spotify, I looped for 200+ times during 2021, and I have also began to play it again! So I expect "Absolomb" to make a comeback in my Spotify numbers, as well as their new song "Dying Star". Spencer Sotelo is a phenomenal vocalist, super underrated and super talented.

Cattle Decapitation - My favorite death metal band of all time, more specifically their three albums "Monolith Of Inhumanity", "The Anthropocene Extinction" and " Death Atlas". These three albums has a mixed reaction - first, it's a glaring deviation from their traditional death metal sound, that it doesn't really count as death metal albums if it weren't for the band. Second, it's such a unique sound, amplified by Travis Ryan's "new" vocal technique. Nonetheless, these albums are amazing to me.

The Cranberries - There's something so beautiful in their songs I can't properly describe. I think it's mostly Dolores O'Riordan's vocal style? But that combined with the rest of the instruments sounds beautiful to me.

And here's a list of my favorite vocalists...

Dickie Allen - Deathcore vocalist, and he's the reason why I got into extreme vocals, although, I'll never learn extreme metal vocals anyway. His sound is unique and distinct, and his range is amazing. I just think he's so cool tbh.

Pop stars Sia and Adele, amazing women, amazing vocalists. I try to sing their songs once in a while, though I'm bad at it.

I am tagging... @yeehawkins, @vdk-hellscape, @brasideios, @greetingsfellownerds, @millythegoat, @voodoochild002, @eljeebee, @feckyeslife -- can't make it to ten, and I'm sorry if I missed someone ✌️

#ask/tag games :D #wyn's music :)

“Zombie" is a protest song by Irish alternative rock[1] band the Cranberries, written by the band's lead singer Dolores O'Riordan in memory of Johnathan Ball and Tim Parry, who were killed in the 1993 Warrington bombings. It was released on 19 September 1994 as the lead single from their second studio album, No Need to Argue, two weeks ahead of the album's release. Music critics have long recognised "Zombie" as "a masterpiece of alternative rock", as well as a grunge number uncharacteristic of the band's other work.

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 your head, in your head

Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie

What's in your head, in your head?

Zombie, zombie, zombie-ie-ie-ie,

Geo

Finding Solace in "In Memoriam" by Forgotten Garden In the EP "In Memoriam" by Forgotten Garden, a seamless tapestry of sorrow and beauty is woven, creating an evocative sonic landscape that lingers like mist over a forgotten churchyard. The indie outfit – with Inês Rebelo's captivating vocals and Danny Elliott's eclectic instrumentation – crafts dark wave dirges that cradle the heart in its hour of grief. https://open.spotify.com/album/0HKX5RBdMa7P1VKR2qDC0T?si=kAA-x2HfSA-04JaxxdD6Fw Each track is a haunting ode to loss, pulling at our universal cloak of mourning, yet finding solace in the shared experience. From the ethereal embrace of Rebelo's almost angelic tones to Elliott's melancholic guitar strings and somber keyboards, "In Memoriam" dances on the precipice between this world and another—a Celtic folk-rock spirit bound in an acoustic shroud. The standout collaboration with Michael Rattray illuminates 'Road to Silence', lending voices from different corners of despair singing for redemption. Together they conjure echoes reminiscent of The Cranberries' Dolores O'Riordan paired with shades of Nick Cave’s philosophical introspection. [caption id="attachment_54688" align="alignnone" width="1600"] Finding Solace in "In Memoriam" by Forgotten Garden[/caption] "In Memoriam", while steeped heavily in themes as perennial as winter’s chill – making clever nods towards Christmas but twisted into a bitter carol – provides not just reflection but also comfort. It wraps listeners in camaraderie amidst sorrow: we are alone together under its canopy. This four-track EP serves both as eulogy and healing incantation—inviting us not only to dwell upon losses past but also glimpsing hope on horizons new. Like passing through shadow into faint firelight, Forgotten Garden ensures we don't walk their memory lane unaccompanied. Follow Forgotten Garden on Website, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube and Instagram.

Project: Movement. Week 5.

Artist research.

Camila Salinas

Camila is a Texas based artist currently studying in RISD in the states, and she creates this surreal conventual self portraits, in which she visually explores her experiences and memories. The pink/purple piece on the top left aligns with my own theme as it reflects her own movement of time and growth as a person, and how much she has changed. The piece on the right is a moving painting, using colour theory and lights, Camila was able to achieve an effect not unlike those 3d glasses. The blue monochrome portrait is only visibly in red lighting, the pink in green/blue, and so on.

Aches

This is a mural of Dolores O'Riordan from The Cranberries created by Aches in collaboration with the urban art festival "Draw out". Aches has overlayed three separate images of Dolores performing onstage back in 1993, using a special style which he calls ‘glitch graffiti’. He chose to depict her using images of her younger self when she was at the peak of her career in order to immortalize her at her best. the overlap in different positions gives the illusion of movement, it feels like 3 frames from an animation viewed at the same time. I honestly love aches use of colour as well, the vibrant colours add an extra sense of life into the mural, its overall very animated despite being a painting.

I'd love to try create something similar in nature in regards to my project, maybe creating a paint with portraits of myself with different hair styles overlapping.

the strange connections our brains draw when memories are created..

#Cranberries songs will always remind me of reading the Edge Chronicles and of long car rides through the serpentine hills #and this deeply sad feeling I can't explain even if I know why it's there #and still I find myself clinging onto those memories even if they hurt in this intangible way #I guess maybe I just want to live in the past for a little bit sometimes. even if it hurts to remember #it's mostly Bury the Hatchet songs I think #the thing that gets me about that is that I really miss Dolores O'Riordan. it's strange.. had I been born when I was supposed to #(on September 6th instead of the 4th) then we would have been exactly 20 year apart in age #and I know that in a rational sense that means little to nothing. it's just that numbers have always been a thing my brain gets hung up on #and there's always some odd kind of symmetry to certain dates. and it matters to me in a completely irrational and sentimental way #(guess it also doesn't help that most of the famous bipolar people that mattered to me at some point died)#(sometimes I can't help but wonder when that fate's gonna catch up with me despite all my best efforts)#that got dark. sorry #I'm okay

Infinite list of favourite lyrics: 70/?

The Cranberries - Zombie (1994)

"Another

Mother's breakin'

Heart is taken

Over.

And the violence

Causes silence,

We must be

Mistaken.

It's the same

Old theme,

Since nine-

-teen sixteen,

In your head, in your head,

They're still fightin' -

With their tanks

And their bombs,

And their guns,

In your head, in your head,

They are dying..."

Jon Bon Jovi didn't want to include "Livin' on a Prayer" on their album, but his band mates literally got down on their hands and knees and begged him to keep it

In 1993, I was 21 and living in Florida, in a party town bordered by beaches and military bases. After a brief stint working at Sound Shop, the record store in the mall, I somehow managed to parlay my previous experience as a radio jock at a tiny AM radio station into a part-time job at the most popular rock station in town. I split the overnight shift with a guy called Taxi Bill (one guess what his other source of income was?) As a classic rock / alternative station, we didn’t play a lot of female-lead groups, but we played The Cranberries “Zombie.” I associate The Cranberries, and Dolores O’Riordan’s unmistakably unique voice, with many things: mid-90s romantic comedies and my wistful, melancholy twenties in general. That voice, powerful and vulnerable, full of deep longing and righteous anger, really resonated with me. Then and now. A mere year older than me, it’s hard to believe she’s suddenly gone.

So The Cranberries like, their business was being The Cranberries, right? And then Dolores O'Riordan, their very distinctively-voiced singer, up and dies, fucking that up.

So they end up releasing some stuff like "in memory of her" and fine, get what you have on hand out the door, you're never gonna have another tour or better media attention again

But now they're still going back to that well however long later about how sad it is she's gone and they're releasing these tapes in honor of her and it's like dude, you're releasing stuff from the vaults, for something we're never gonna get new stuff again, because that's your meal ticket and you have to milk it WE GET IT, and I'm sure you all personally miss her and the band did kinda do a weepy Irish shtick, but Christ
