Song of the Day: Sara Lou - Zombie (Cranberries cover)

One of the songs Sara played (at my request) during her show last Saturday was Zombie, by the Cranberries.

The song was particularly interesting to me because earlier in the day a co-worker and I had toured Kilmainham Gaol, an old jail where political prisoners had been imprisoned and executed in the past.  So I finally know what the Cranberries mean by "it's the same old theme since 1916."  Sure puts a new emphasis, a new level of emotion, on the song, for me at least.
