Biografia
|
|
Os irmãos Noel e Mike Hogan, guitarrista e baixista, formaram os Cranberry Saw Us no início da década de 90, juntamente com o baterista Fergal Lawler. O lugar de vocalista permanecia em aberto e a banda colocou um anúncio a pedir uma voz feminina, ao qual respondeu Dolores O'Riordan.
A cantora foi sujeita a alguns testes, os quais consistiram na composição de letras para algumas das maquetas já gravadas pela banda, e foi com o tema "Linger" que Dolores convenceu os músicos a cederem-lhe o lugar. Pouco tempo depois, os Cranberry Saw Us gravaram uma maqueta, da qual venderam a totalidade das trezentas cópias editadas em discotecas irlandesas. Foi então que mudaram o nome para Cranberries e arriscaram mandar uma outra maqueta para várias editoras do Reino Unido, na qual estavam incluídos os temas "Dreams" e "Linger".
A gravação chamou a atenção, tanto da imprensa britânica como das editoras e os Cranberries não tardaram em assinar contrato com a Island Records.
Na fase inicial do seu percurso, o grupo de Limerick, na Irlanda, apresentou na sua maioria sonoridades pop muito suaves. Foi precisamente com um deles, "Linger", que os Cranberries deslumbraram a imprensa, criando grandes expectativas no single seguinte da banda, "Uncertain". O resultado não agradou à mesma imprensa que os tinha posto num pedestal pouco tempo antes.
A par da má recepção do single, os conflitos com o produtor Pearse Gilmore eram cada vez mais frequentes, e a banda ponderou seriamente na hipótese de abandonar o projecto. No entanto, ultrapassou os contratempos com a contratação de um novo produtor, Stephen Street, que tinha trabalhado anteriormente com os Smiths, e deu início às gravações do seu álbum de estreia, "Everybody Else is Doing it, So Why Can't We?", que viu a luz do dia em 1993 e do qual foi extraído o single "Dreams".
Apesar de nem o álbum, nem o single terem sido alvo de grande divulgação, os Cranberries começavam já a captar a atenção do público. Tal ficou provado quando o grupo realizou uma digressão pelos Estados Unidos, onde actuou como banda de apoio dos The The e dos Suede, tendo sido recebido mais entusiasticamente do que os próprios cabeças de cartaz.
Seguiu-se o apoio da MTV, que apostou na passagem insistente do teledisco de "Linger", e no final do ano o disco, que passara complemente despercebido aquando da sua edição, tunha já conquistado a dupla-platina.
O segundo álbum da banda de Dolores O'Riordan, "No Need To Argue" foi editado em 1994, e seguiu já um rumo mais próximo do rock, não deixando, no entanto, completamente de lado o forte lado pop da banda. Os singles "Zombie" e "Ode to My Family" conquistaram as tabelas de vendas e o próprio álbum adquiriu o estatuto de tripla-platina um ano depois de ter sido editado.
Entretanto começaram a circular rumores de que Dolores iria abandonar os Cranberries para se dedicar a uma carreira a solo. A banda demonstrou que as suspeitas não tinham qualquer fundamento ao editar o seu terceiro álbum de originais, "To the Faithful Departed" em 1996, um disco definitivamente mais orientado para o universo do rock de guitarras. O álbum ficou muito aquém do sucesso alcançado pelos trabalhos anteriores da banda, e após o cancelamento da digressão australiana e europeia, os boatos acerca da carreira a solo de Dolores voltaram a propagar-se. Mais uma vez mostraram-se infundados, uma vez que em 1999 o álbum "Bury the Hatchet" era editado. Os boatos foram afastados de uma vez por todas em 2001, com o lançamento de "Wake Up & Smell the Coffee", um álbum que mais uma vez teve por mais valia a suavidade característica da voz de Dolores O'Riordan. A revisão de carreira foi feita no mês de Setembro do ano seguinte, com a edição do best of "Stars".

I think that you're mad,
You spend a lot of time in your head.
I know that you're mad,
You spend a lot of time in your head.
If you could come away with me,
You should come away with me,
You should have some faith in me.
Tomorrow could be too late,
I wish I could change the day.
Tomorrow could be too late,
If only you had some faith.
Too young, too proud, too foolish,
Too young, too proud, too foolish.
You ask a lot of questions,
You have too much time on your hands.
To hell with conclusions,
Why should we make so many plans?
So you should come away with me,
You should come away with me,
You should have some faith in me.
Tomorrow could be too late,
I wish I could change the day.
Tomorrow could be too late,
If only you had some faith.
Too young, too proud, too foolish,
Too young, too proud, too foolish.
So great,
I wish I could change the date.
Tomorrow could be so great,
If only you had some faith.
Tomorrow could be so great,
I wish I could change the date.
Tomorrow could be so great,
If only you had some faith.
The Stars are bright tonight
And I am walking nowhere
I guess I will be alright
Desire gets you nowhere
And you are always right
I thought you are so perfect
Take you as you were
Have you as you were
Take you as you were
I'll love you just the way you are
I'll have you just the way you are
I'll take you just the way you are
Does anybody love the way they are
Aaa Aaa Aaa
The Stars are bright tonight
A distance is between us
And I will be OK
The worst I've ever seen us
And still I have my weaknesses
Still I have my strength
And still I have my ugliness
But I, I, I
I'll love you just the way you are
I'll have you just the way you are
I'll take you just the way you are
Does anybody love the way they are
Aaaa Aaaa Aaaa Aaaa Aaaaa
I'll love you just the way you are
I'll have you just the way you are
I'll take you just the way you are
Does anybody love the way they are
Aaaa Aaaa Aaaa Aaaa Aaaa Aaaa Aaaa
Star, Star
There was a game we used to play
We would hit the town on Friday night
And stay in bed until Sunday
We used to be so free
We were living for the love we had and
Living not for reality
It was just my imagination
[x3]
There was a time I used to pray
I have always kept my faith in love
It's the greatest thing from the man above
The game I used to play
I've always put my cards upon the table
Let it never be said that I'd be unstable
It was just my imagination
[x3]
There is a game I like to play
I like to hit the town on Friday night
And stay in bed until Sunday
We'll always be this free
We will be living for the love we have
Living not for reality
It's not my imagination
[x3]
Not my
[x18]
Oh, my life is changing everyday,
In every possible way.
And oh, my dreams, it's never quite as it seems,
Never quite as it seems.
I know I've felt like this before, but now I'm feeling it even more,
Because it came from you.
And then I open up and see the person falling here is me,
A different way to be.
Ah, la da ah...
La...
I want more impossible to ignore,
Impossible to ignore.
And they'll come true, impossible not to do,
Impossible not to do.
And now I tell you openly, you have my heart so don't hurt me.
You're what I couldn't find.
A totally amazing mind, so understanding and so kind;
You're everything to me.
Oh, my life,
Is changing every day,
In every possible way.
And oh, my dreams,
It's never quite as it seems,
'Cause you're a dream to me,
Dream to me.
Ah, da, da da da, da, la...
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo...
Understand the things I say, don't turn away from me,
'Cause I've spent half my life out there, you wouldn't disagree.
Do you see me? Do you see? Do you like me?
Do you like me standing there? Do you notice?
Do you know? Do you see me? Do you see me?
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness where's when I was young,
And we didn't give a damn,
'Cause we were raised,
To see life as fun and take it if we can.
My mother, my mother,
She hold me, she hold me, when I was out there.
My father, my father,
He liked me, oh, he liked me. Does anyone care?
Understand what I've become, it wasn't my design.
And people ev'rywhere think, something better than I am.
But I miss you, I miss, 'cause I liked it,
'Cause I liked it, when I was out there. Do you know this?
Do you know you did not find me. You did not find.
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness where's when I was young,
And we didn't give a damn,
'Cause we were raised,
To see life as fun and take it if we can.
My mother, my mother,
She hold me, she hold me, when I was out there.
My father, my father,
He liked me, oh, he liked me.
Does anyone care?...
[X9]
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo, doo...
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,
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,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, dou, dou, dou, dou, dou...
Another mother's breakin',
Heart is taking over.
When the vi'lence causes silence,
We must be mistaken.
It's the same old theme since nineteen-sixteen.
In your head, in your head they're still fighting,
With their tanks and their bombs,
And their bombs and their guns.
In your head, in your head, they are dying...
In your head, in your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie,
Hey, hey, hey. What's in your head,
In your head,
Zombie, zombie, zombie?
Hey, hey, hey, hey, oh, oh, oh,
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, oh, ya, ya-a...
If you, if you could return, don't let it burn, don't let it fade.
I'm sure I'm not being rude, but it's just your attitude,
It's tearing me apart, It's ruining everything.
I swore, I swore I would be true, and honey, so did you.
So why were you holding her hand? Is that the way we stand?
Were you lying all the time? Was it just a game to you?
But I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?
Oh, I thought the world of you.
I thought nothing could go wrong,
But I was wrong. I was wrong.
If you, if you could get by, trying not to lie,
Things wouldn't be so confused and I wouldn't feel so used,
But you always really knew, I just wanna be with you.
But I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?
And I'm in so deep. You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?
You know I'm such a fool for you.
You got me wrapped around your finger, ah, ha, ha.
Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to,
Do you have to let it linger?
