The late, great Dolores O’Riordan, ladies and gentlemen. Bearer of maybe the most distinctive sounding voice on the list, she kills this one.
“We should of lied but I cried so hard, the ridiculous thoughts, ah, we should have lied, have lied, have lied, but you’re gonna have to hold on…”
I remember a girl in my school doing a gymnastics routine to Zombie in a talent show, and I was enthralled by the interpretation of the music in the movement. I remember thinking she was pretty cool for doing that in front of the…I guess it would’ve been middle school. I’m not sure how it took me until last year to come into contact with this song.
Her voice still hits now. I really enjoy Now, which I’ll post the link to at the end, but of course Zombie is an all-timer and seems…fairly poignant right now. Personally, I’m terribly disillusioned with our government and terrified at what’s going on in Palestine. I feel helpless and more scared than I’ve been in a long while.
BGDG…the world might depend on it.
everything, etc. 
It’s dismaying that large scale government sanctioned rape, maiming, and genocide is still happening in our world today. How have we not evolved beyond that? And worse, the rest of humanity not directly involved in the atrocities are collectively either supporting them, or else they’re hardly doing anything more than shaking their heads and shrugging.
Maybe the best we can do is be the defiant peace and kindness in our bit the world so that the war and the hate can’t have it all.

Well said, friend. I think “you won’t get this peace” is a great battle to fight.
