The Cranberries - Zombie ( Bagpipe Rock Cover ) - The Snake Charmer

The Cranberries Zombie was one of the anthems in earlier years and its a song close to everybody's heart. It was really sad hearing that the iconic voice behind this great song " Dolores " is no more. I did my best to try make a cover that brings out all the emotions of this amazing song Zombie on the Bagpipes!

Anyone else notice that out of all the tributes to this song, the bagpipes are the closest you can get to that edge that Delores had to her voice? Listen to them side by side, no wonder that woman was an Irish icon.

Dolores would be very proud that she was honored so profoundly...
From one of her zillions of fans, this song still wrecks me every time I hear it...🇮🇪 😪

hard to not cry if you were a fan of the berries, she did this justice

Beautiful hommage for the awesome Dolores and the great Cranberries and their fight for liberty, respect and the freedom to do what you want. A song, more relevant than ever.

When I went to high school, music was a required subject. I was given a choice choir or band class. Any instrument. I picked the bag pipes because I figured I would never get it. Mr Reynolds got a set for me. The first two years were painful for everyone. Then I learned you could play Deep Purples songs on them. Was never very good but was invited to every foot ball game and all the cheer leader parties as long as I brought my pipes. Cops show up and ask that the music be turned down out came my pipes.

Was a hit in college for the same reason.

Last year I was at the legion waiting for a union meeting to start. There was a student bag pipe band trying to practice. A few of the younger players did not like having to play the Black Bear or Scotland the Brave. Being a smart ass I suggested something more resent. My choice was “Zombie” now I am no where near your league. However I did get out the first bit.

When I handed the pipes back there was stunned silence from the band master.

The next month the band was working on their version. Even the drummers were standing around working on their part.

Last October I took my IPad along and showed them your stuff. In December I had the chance to see them play again. You have had a great affect on them.

The girls in the band love your Irish / Indian / Pakistanis Dance number and the one where you place the desert enchantress. All I know is that the band master says that they are now gaining members instead of loosing them.

This proves that all instruments are beautiful, If played correctly, confidently and with the right song.

Tears rolling down my face. I can hear her voice sing through your bagpipes. Hauntingly beautiful.

I am not the only person streaming tears listening to this amazing cover. Dolores lives in your pipes.

Bagpipes resonate deep. Not only for my Scottish heritage but also the Military Police. Every time I hear Amazing Grace on bagpipes I tear up.

R.I.P. Dolores O'Riordan. This had me in tears. She is missed so much. Her voice was like no other. The world is less musical without her.

Back in my engineering days from 2007-11, Zombies used to be the most frequently played song in my dorm. The song was an indispensable part of our hostel lives. The news of her passing was heartbreaking. May she live forever through her amazing body of work. RIP Dolores.

I just heard the song Zombie recently and had no idea the singer passed away. I had no emotional attachment to the song or the singer, but your rendition really made me feel the pain over her passing. It hit me hard in the feels. It was truly heartfelt and beautiful.

[jessicaschneider]

Dolores would be so proud of this! You guys did her justice with this cover. I have tears streaming down my face with how beautiful this is!

[markappelman]

This has to be the best cover I’ve heard since Bad Wolves. The song sounds so natural on pipes 👍 I love the tribute you added to it about Dolores that was a nice touch.

[jonathanreal]
