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

And the original:
The Cranberries - Zombie

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.
