This song is part of the soundtrack for the movie, Stir of Echoes, with Kevin Bacon, our favorite name-game actor. Fun flick. Late 90’s horror/thriller thing. This song will forever more remind me of women murdered and buried in walls. And then going on to star in series like Once Upon a Time.
The first time I got up and sang alone in front of an audience (that I can remember), it was to sing this song at my high school solo concert. This was the first version of it I heard and it is still my very favorite.
The Cranberries made some pretty terrific music, but “Zombie” has always been my favorite. ‘Cause ya know, it just gets in your head, in your head. Let this take over.

Is there anyone who can’t relate to this song in some way? Changes in life, life starting, life ending… It’s all movin’ on.
My mama liked this song. She wasn’t really an optimistic person but she was always hopeful. And I think that this song buoyed her sense of hope. One thing I know for sure, through all of the struggle life threw her way, she never forgot how to smile.
