MUSIC THAT MATTERS – “Lyric of the Day”

(Music Cut 1 — opening strings of Linger)

January 30, 1994.
A quiet song about miscommunication
ended up at No. 1.

The Cranberries —
“Linger.”

(Music Cut 2 — “Linger” lyric)

During the video shoot for Linger,
Michael Stipe from R.E.M. showed up
just to watch.

He became such a fan that he immediately invited the band on tour —
a move that helped break The Cranberries in the United States.

(Music Cut 3 — verse settles in)

(Final Song clip)

LYRIC OF THE DAY:
“Trying not to lie —
things wouldn’t be so confused.” — The Cranberries
