Dreams
Oh my life
Is changing everyday
In every possible way
And Oh my dreams
It's never quiet as it seems
Never quiet 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
La
I want more (impossible to ignore)
I want more (impossible to ignore)
And they'll come true (impossible not to do)
And they'll come true (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

Combining the melodic jangle of post-Smiths indie-guitar pop with the lilting, trance-inducing sonic textures of late-'80s dream pop and adding a slight Celtic tint, the Cranberries became one of the more successful groups to emerge from the pre-Brit-pop U.K. indie scene of the early '90s. Led by vocalist Dolores O'Riordan, whose keening, powerful voice is the most distinctive element of the group's sound, the group initially made little impact in the United Kingdom. It wasn't until the lush ballad "Linger" became an American hit in 1993 that the band also achieved mass success in the U.K. Following the success of "Linger," the Cranberries quickly became international stars, as both their 1993 debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We, and its 1994 follow-up, No Need to Argue, sold millions of copies and produced a string of hit singles. By the time of their third album, 1996's To the Faithful Departed, the group had added distorted guitars to its sonic palette and attempted to make more socially significant music, which resulted in a downturn in the band's commercial fortunes.
Originally, the Cranberries were a band called the Cranberry Saw Us. Brothers Noel and Mike Hogan (guitar and bass, respectively) formed the band in Limerick, Ireland, with drummer Fergal Lawler in 1990. Following the departure of the group's original singer, Niall, the trio placed an advertisement for a female singer. Dolores O'Riordan responded to the advertisement and auditioned by writing lyrics and melodies to some of the band's existing demos. When she returned with a rough version of "Linger," the group hired her on the spot. Shortly after she joined, the band recorded a demo tape which they sold in record stores throughout Ireland. After the original run of 300 copies sold out, the group truncated their name to the Cranberries and sent another demo tape, which featured early version of both "Linger" and "Dreams," to record companies throughout the U.K. The tape was made at Xeric studios, which was run by Pearse Gilmore, who would later become their manager. At the time the tape was made, all of the members were still in their late teens.

The demo tape earned the attention of both the U.K. press and record industry and there soon was a bidding war between major British record labels. Eventually, the group signed with Island Records. The Cranberries headed into the studio with Gilmore as their producer to record their first single, "Uncertain." The title proved to be prophetic, as the band did indeed sound ill at ease on the single, leading to poor reviews in the press, in addition to tensions between the group and Gilmore. Before they were scheduled to record their debut in 1992, the Cranberries discovered that Gilmore had signed a secret deal with Island to improve his studios. The tensions within the band became so great they nearly broke up. Instead, the band severed all relations with Gilmore, hired Geoff Travis of Rough Trade as their new manager, and hired Stephen Street, who had previously worked with the Smiths, as their new producer.

The Cranberries' debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?, was released in the spring of 1993, followed by a single of "Dreams." Neither the album or the single gained much attention, nor did a second single, "Linger." In the summer and fall of 1993, the band toured the United States, opening for The The and Suede, respectively; frequently, the Cranberries were given a friendlier reception than either of the headliners. The strong live shows led to MTV putting "Linger" into heavy rotation. By the end of the year, the single was on its way to becoming a crossover hit. Eventually, the single reached number eight on the U.S. charts, while the album went double platinum. Everybody Else and "Linger" began to take off in Britain in early 1994; the album eventually peaked at number one during the summer.

O'Riordan married the band's tour manager, Don Burton, in a much-publicized ceremony in July of 1994. The marriage, as well as the group's videos, emphasized the singer as the focal point of the band. O'Riordan's position in the group continued to rise with the fall release of the group's second album, No Need to Argue. Boasting a slightly harder, more streamlined sound, yet still produced by Stephen Street, the record debuted at number six on the U.S. charts and eventually outsold its predecessor; within a year it went triple platinum, spawning the number one modern rock hit "Zombie" and the number 11 "Ode to My Family."

During the tour for No Need to Argue, rumors began to circulate that O'Riordan was going to leave the band to pursue a solo career, all of which the band vehemently denied. Nevertheless, the rumors persisted until the band began recording their third album with producer Bruce Fairbairn, who had previously worked with Aerosmith. The resulting album, To the Faithful Departed, was a tougher, more rock-oriented album. Upon its spring 1996 release, the album entered the charts at number six, but its first single, "Salvation," failed to become a hit on par with "Zombie," "Linger," or "Ode to My Family." Consequently, the album slipped down the charts relatively quickly and only went platinum, which was slightly disappointing in light of its two predecessors' multi-platinum status. During the fall of 1996, the group canceled their Australian and European tour, sparking another round of rumors of whether O'Riordan was about to launch a solo career. In 1999, the group released Bury the Hatchet. — Stephen Thomas Erlewine

Linger
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
(chorus)
But I m in so deep
You know I'm such a fool for you
You got me wrapped around your finger
Do you have to let it linger
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, but 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

Animal Instinct
Suddenly something has happened to me
As I was having my cup of tea
Suddenly I was feeling depressed
I was utterly and totally stressed
Do you know you made me cry
Do you know you made me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
It is a lovely thing that we have
It is a lovely thing that we
It is a lovely thing, the animal
The animal instinct
So take my hands and come with me
We will change reality
So take my hands and we will pray
They won't take you away
They will never make me cry, no
They will never make me die
And the thing that gets to me
Is you'll never really see
And the thing that freaks me out
Is I'll always be in doubt
The animal, the animal,
the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, the animal,
the animal instinct in me
It's the animal, it's the animal,
it's the animal instinct in me x2

90年代初，在The Corrs、Boyzone还未成立前，谈起爱尔兰的流行乐队，除了U2外最著名的莫过于The Cranberries（爱尔兰小红莓又称卡百利）了，乐队主唱Dolores O'Riordan那充满激情、高昂的嗓音至今在流行乐坛中无人可比。当年王菲在“梦中人”所用的唱法就是完全模仿Dolores在“Dream”中的唱腔，那种把舌头卷起来、向后拉长声音的唱法曾让前者在当时大出风头，以至于今天不少歌手（包括王菲自己）依旧在仿照这种独特的唱腔。


　　成立于90年的The Cranberries来自爱尔兰的西部城市Limerick，最初只有三位男成员Noel、Mike和Feargal，Noel和Mike是兄弟俩，十几岁就得一手好吉他，Feargal则是毛遂自荐加入他们，在乐队里担任鼓手。后来他们总觉得自己创作的作品过于女性化，于是决定干脆聘请一个女主音，最后由当时还在求学的Dolores担任。起初乐队的名字叫做“The Cranberry Saw Us”，是由前任主唱Noel起的，在Dolores加入后，乐队在本地录制了三首单曲，并制作了300盘卡带放在音像店里销售，想看一看销量如何，没想到在短短的几天内，300盘全部卖出，这给了乐队成员极大的信心。接下来乐队一直在Limerick附近的地区进行演出，基于听众的反映，他们把乐队的名字缩写为The Cranberries，演出同时他们还制作了试听版寄给所有他们听说过的唱片公司，直到如雪片般的邀约不断寄来。最终乐队与Island Records签了约，经纪人为Pearse Gilmore。本以为从此就可以进入英国音乐界，然而偏偏就在这时出现了问题。

　　发行于91年末、被给予厚望的首支单曲“Uncertain”在接受英国审查时，由于音质与试听版不同而受到了非议，这首歌也被指责为二级歌曲，严重影响了乐队在英国的形象和唱片销量。可以说，这张唱片在英国的发行很失败。唱片发布会上也充满了敌意，The Cranberries开始体会到音乐界的反复无常。后来Delores说，“当第一支单曲反映如此差的时候，我们是如此地难过。尽管我对乐队依然充满信心，但我对音乐界却没有这份信心，我感到非常地沮丧。”但麻烦却还没有完，经纪人Gilmore宣布与乐队的合作关系到此结束，The Cranberries陷入了进退两难的窘境。正在乐队为此困扰时，一天晚上Delores在看完一次音乐表演后，马上打电话给其他成员，“别人都在做，为什么我们就不行？”正是这句话激励了大家，在换了新的经纪人（Geoff Travis）后，乐队开始了他们“复仇之路”。

　　93年推出首张专辑《Everybody Else Is Doing It So》，收录其中的“Linger”打入美国Billboard前二十，专辑单是在美国就卖出了400百万张，并在专辑榜上稳居了两年，与此同时乐队在美国也进行了小型的巡演及频频出现在各电台节目中，大大增加了乐队的曝光率。对当时在美国的巡演，Delores认为“在那里我们更像是游客，专辑销量不断地增加，人们总是告诉我们这个星期我们的专辑又卖了多少多少张！”乐队在美国获得成功的基础上，专辑销量在英国榜上也是一路飙升，最终取得了冠军。当93年底，The Cranberries衣锦还乡，回到了爱尔兰，Delores感慨万千，“我走的时候，什么也不是，可回来时人们却叫我明星。”

　　为了证明乐队的成功并非只是昙花一现，94年的4月，The Cranberries发行了第二张专辑《No Need To Argue》，发行头三个星期就取得了一百万张销量的惊人成绩，总计全球销量已超过1500万张。主打歌“Zombie”更是包揽了当时世界各地排行榜的冠军，关于这首歌的创作过程，Delores说，“Zombie是写在爱尔兰与英国冲突期间，两个小孩子被炸弹炸死的故事。这首歌并不是关于北爱尔兰的政治问题，只是关于孩子由于北爱尔兰的原因而在英国死去的歌曲。”先不论创作背景如何，光是歌曲本身层次分明的音乐编排就已俘虏了世界歌迷的心。同年7月乐队主唱Delores在巡演中传来婚讯，与演出的经理人Don Burton喜结连理。

　　96年The Cranberries只用了5周的时间就推出第三张《To The Faithful Departed》，由于当时爱尔兰摇滚劲旅U2内部出现了分歧，斗志消沉，这张专辑便成为爱尔兰以及爱尔兰出口市场上销量最多的专辑。由于忙于制作唱片和世界巡演，乐队的灵魂人物Delores精神状态一直不佳。在一次巡演中，她又扭伤了膝盖，心力交瘁的Delores此时觉得自己已无法和乐队成员再合作下去，巡演被迫终止，The Cranberries进入了演唱事业的低潮期，不得不驻留在停滞状态。

　　98年儿子的出世令Delores的心态大为改变，她开始与乐队其他成员着手新的专辑制作。在制作过程中，贝司手Mike还与相处多年的女友终成眷属。12月在挪威奥斯陆举办的诺贝尔和平奖音乐会上，阔别歌坛两年多的The Cranberries带着他们的新单曲“Promises”出现在大家面前，人们开始相信这支伟大的乐队终于要回来了。两年多的调整、休息，The Cranberries开始恢复了元气，抛开过去，重新出击。去年春天，千呼万唤的新专辑《Bury The Hatchet》正式推出了！单从唱片封面来讲，乐队一改过去三张专辑封面的四人合照，电脑制作出来的效果让人看了忍俊不禁，又浮想联翩；唱片名称“Bury The Hatchet”一词在爱尔兰语中的意思是忘掉过去，笑对未来，道出了乐队成员特别是主唱Delores的心声；13首风格不同的歌曲讲述着13个美丽的故事，其中有一半是对过去的回顾，另一半则是对未来的畅想，而无论是过去亦或未来，The Cranberries永远都是我心中最美的爱尔兰小红莓！
