I have been grieving for someone who I never knew personally, but has brought me so much joy through their art. It's tough, but I decided that my personal way of thanking Dolores and honoring her memory would be to keep this blog going. A longer update will be forthcoming, but in the meantime, I wanted to share the music video for The Cranberries' current single, "All Over Now". <div>

And for me she absolutely was, but she was also the soundtrack to my twenties and my thirties. Her music after the 90's didn't hit the same successful plateau, but that doesn't make it any less important to me. "Are You Listening?" to me is her best album and my all time favorite album of any artist.<br />
<br />
In almost 23 years I don't think I have gone a single day without listening to one of Dolores' songs. But after she died... I couldn't listen to her voice. Her music has seen me though so many happy and sad times in my life, yet I just couldn't turn to it during this one. <br />
<br />
So, I set my phone's music player to random and decided I would see how I feel when one of her songs came up. I faithfully follow about 30 other artists and listen to them all the time. But since I have basically everything Dolores has every released it is very rare to go a couple hours without one of her songs coming on random. It was absurd... it didn't play a single Dolores song, not after a day, or two days.... or even a week. It was like there was some sort of greater force that knew I wasn't ready....<br />
<br />
Exactly one week later, the Monday after she passed, on my way to work, finally "Away" came on. The lyrics were more poignant than ever. "Turn away from me.", "Another world, wrapped up inside another day. And I hope and I pray that the pain goes away.". I don't believe in religion but I do believe in a higher power guiding us and I believe this was the exact song I needed to hear at the exact moment I needed it.<br />
<br />
I than spent the next week listening to all her albums in chronological order. I cried a whole bunch, I remembered going to her concerts and feverishly anticipating new albums. I was reminded of personal experiences and how my life has grown and changed along with her music. I thought about the friends who have come and gone from my life, with whom Dolores' music connected us. I thought about the loved ones who didn't quite get her music, and the feeling I got when I introduced them to that one song that they ended up loving.<br />
<br />
For me, I don't think the pain will ever go away, I don't think it's meant to. We learn to cope and live our lives in spite of the pain. Dolores and her legacy of music will continue to be a major part of my life.<br />

I am devastated. At this point, I can't put into words what Dolores' music has meant to my life... I haven't even been able to listen to her music yet. There will be a much longer post in the near future, but for now I want to extend my deepest sympathies to her family - especially her children, her friends, and anyone who she has touched through her music or otherwise.CranberryManhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00141490466828261032noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8572190914763243634.post-51425543868637171172017-07-19T14:21:00.002-04:002017-07-19T14:21:32.875-04:00US Tour CanceledUnfortunately the 2017 North American tour has been canceled due to Dolores' back problem.

I am in the process of buying a house and that has been consuming most of my time. Once everything is settled I will resume regular updates.<br />

Wishing Dolores a speedy recovery and hoping the tour gets back on track.<br />

In the mean time a saw this commercial for University of Phoenix (an online College in the US) the other night theat uses a cover version of Dreams that I wanted to share.<br />

Wowza, this is now my favorite Cranberries cover. According to Wikipedia this is Jeff Whalen's version with vocals by New Terot. I had previously reported about this cover.

No South Florida!? Again!? But... it's been 15 years! booooo<br />
<br />
Sigh, well they did say in a few separate interviews that there would be 18 dates, and they only announced 14. So maybe there's still hope... September 14th or 15th could fit after Atlanta...<br />

The band was quietly added to the labels website last night. <a href="http://theendrecords.com/the-cranberries-something-else/">See here</a><br />
<br />
Likely for the wide US distribution of "Something Else". (Up until this point it appeared that the US was just getting imported copies from the UK). This might be a good sign for preorder sales for the States, that they would need a more local distribution.<br />

A little more info:<br />
<br />
According to the site, it's listed as "Coming Soon" but a vinyl message board is giving it the same release date as the Barnes and Noble special red vinyl edition.<br />
<br />
It was "Cut from the original stereo tapes by Sean Magee at Abbey Road Studios" (According to the message board Sean worked on the mono vinyl editions of The Beetles albums among others, fans have been very pleased with his work).<br />
<br />
It will be "Housed in a Stoughton old style tip on gratefold jacket" (I love this about The Cranberries vinyl releases and re-issues, I hate getting a 1 pocket folder to store my vinyl)<br />
<br />

Well that didn't take long for one of my vinyl wishes, from the other day, to come true . Really happy and excited to see this. Do any other Cranberries fans feel extremely spoiled lately? I'm loving all these new releases and re-releases!<br />
<br />

Holy crap! It only took 3 re-releases of "No Need To Argue" and 1 "Bury The Hatchet" but we're finally getting the first album! This will complete my vinyl collection for the albums that are available. Still crossing my fingers for a vinyl release for "Wake Up and Smell The Coffee" and, maybe one day, "Something Else", hell, throw in Dolores' solo albums and Mono Band as well! Also, a double LP of Stars would be amazing... a boy can dream.

Well, sort of.Just announced: Ole Koretsky and DJ Wool will be performing D.A.R.K. songs and other material in support of several of The Cranberries European tour dates.<br />
<br />
Now, I don't think it would be much of a stretch to assume that Dolores would join them on stage as a little "surprise", but I guess we'll have to wait and see on May 2nd.<br />

The video has been on you youtube for just 7 years. Imagine the number of views if this was the height of the band's popularity.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Zombie remains the biggest modern rock single in the US from a female lead group or female artist... to this day.<br />
<br />
ETA: Just for comparisons sake, Alanis Morissette, 90's biggest female artist, her biggest single, Ironic, has 53 million views and it was uploaded 2 years before Zombie!</div>

Here's hoping they make the radio version available as well. I like them both but I'm leaning toward the other.<br />
<br />

<br />

<br />
ETA: It just aired, yes it is a radio edit. Much more compact with a little more production. Most of the intro is gone and it ends with Dolores' voice. I really like it! Very radio friendly!<br />
<br />
Also, new image from the band's official twitter (possible single art preview?).<br />

It's also available on Spotify, and, I'm sure across all other music sites (I'm too lazy to check).<br />

According to several twitter users a joke was made about The Cranberries being responsible for unplanned pregnancies in the 90's. The band even got a shout out from the show's official twitter account, see <a href="https://twitter.com/TheRealONeals/status/841830273142657025">link</a>.<br />

It's unclear if any songs were played in the episode, Ill be checking it out when it hits on demand.<br />
<br />
ETA: Finally watched it. No songs were played in this episode. The joke was a throw back to a previous episode that indeed played Linger when two characters... conceived a baby. So that's 3 for 4 on ABC's Tuesday lineup. Dreams on American Housewife, Zombie on Fresh off The Boat and Linger on The Real O'Neals. Will The Middle make it 4 for 4 before the end of the season?</div>
