The Cranberries were an Irish rock band formed
in Limerick,
Ireland. Originally named the Cranberry Saw Us, the band were formed in 1989 by
lead singer Niall Quinn, guitarist Noel Hogan,
bassist Mike Hogan, and drummer Fergal Lawler. Quinn was replaced as lead
singer by Dolores O'Riordan in 1990, and they changed their name to the Cranberries. The band
classified themselves as an alternative rock group, but incorporated aspects of indie rock, jangle pop, folk rock, post-punk, and pop rock into
their sound.
The Cranberries rose to international fame in
the 1990s with their debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?,
which became a commercial success. Some of the band's hit singles include
"Dreams"(1992),
"Linger"(1993),
"Zombie"
(1994), and "Salvation"
(1996). Five of the band's albums reached the Top 20 on the Billboard 200 chart, and eight of their singles reached the Top 20 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.
In early 2009, after a six-year hiatus, the
Cranberries reunited and began a North American tour followed by shows in Latin America and Europe. The band's sixth
studio album, Roses,
was released in February 2012, and its seventh, Something Else,
followed in April 2017. On 15 January 2018, O'Riordan was found dead of
drowning in a London hotel room. The Cranberries confirmed in September 2018
that they would not continue as a band; their final album, In the End,
was released in April 2019 and they disbanded afterward.
The
Cranberries rank as one of the best-selling alternative acts of the 1990s,
having sold nearly 50 million albums worldwide as of 2019. They
have received an MTV Europe
Music Award, a World Music Award, an
International Group nomination at the Brit Awards,
a Juno nomination, a
Juno Award win, an Ivor Novello Award for International Achievement, and a BMI Award with a Special Citation of Achievement. In the End earned them a Grammy nomination for
Best Rock Album. With
the video for their song "Zombie", the Cranberries became the first
Irish band to reach one billion views on YouTube.
"Ode to My Family" is a song
recorded by the Irish band the Cranberries. It was
released on 21 November 1994 as the second single from their second studio album No Need to Argue. The song was a hit in Oceania and
several European countries, peaking at number one in Iceland, and number four
in France, and number five in Australia. In 2017,
the song was released as an acoustic, stripped down version on the band's Something Else album.

Understand the things
I say
Don't turn away from me
'Cause I've spent half my life out there
You wouldn't disagree
Do you see me, do you
see?
Do you like me
Do you like me standing there?
Do you notice, do you know
Do you see me, do you see me?
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness where's
when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother
She'd hold me
She'd hold me when I was out there
My father, my father
He liked me, well he liked me
Does anyone care?
Understand what I've
become
It wasn't my design
And people everywhere think
Something better than I am
But I miss you, I
miss
'Cause I liked it
'Cause I liked it
When I was out there
Do you know this, do you know
You did not find me
You did not find
Does anyone care?
Unhappiness where's
when I was young
And we didn't give a damn
'Cause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother
She'd hold me
She'd hold me when I was out there
My father, my father
He liked me, well he liked me
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
Does anyone care?
