Dolores O'Riordan was the youngest of seven born and raised in Ballybricken, Limerick, Ireland. In 1990 she auditioned and won the role of lead singer for a band called The Cranberry Saw Us (later changed to The Cranberries). The band released five albums before they took a break in 2003.
Her first solo album Are You Listening? was released in May 2007. Her second solo album No Baggage was released in August 2009.
While in London, England, for a short recording session, Dolores died suddenly on 15 January 2018 aged 46. The cause of death was drowning due to alcohol intoxication.
'Dolores was discovered “submerged in the bath” at the time she was found, and an examination of her body found no signs of injury or self-harm. There was a bottle of champagne, as well as five miniature bottles of alcohol, plus containers of prescription drugs. The toxicology report showed that Dolores’ blood had “therapeutic” levels of medication, but her alcohol level was astronomically high — four times over the legal limit of driving.'

It's you
It's you
You Know you make me feel better
And I knew
I Knew
I knew
Where did it all the time go?
Where did it all the time go?
It's you
It's you
It's you
You Know you make me feel better
I remembered the time when we were small
Planting seeds, put it in ???quants??
I remembered the time when we were small
We did it all
But tell me Where did it all the time go?
Where did it all the time go?
It's you
It's you
It's you
You Know you make me feel better
It's you
It's you
It's you
You Know you make me feel better
And I knew
I Knew
I knew
When I was under the weather
Where did it all the time go?
Where did it all the time go?
It's you
It's you
It's you
You Know you make me feel better
I remembered driving in that car
Our destiny was never far
I must have lost ten thousand times
But We There
But tell me Where did it all the time go?
Where did it all the time go?
It's you
It's you
It's you
You Know you make me feel better
I could not wait until I grown
I could not wait until I grown
I could not wait until I grown
I could not wait until I grown
I could not wait until I knew
I could not wait until I knew
I could not wait until I knew
I could not wait until I knew
I would love to go but that car
Where Our destiny was never far
I would love to go but that car
But I can't
And come to me today that made me
I wish those things away
Still It's you
It's you
It's you
You Know you make me feel better
Whatever you do
Don't wish your days away
Whatever you do
Take it easy today
Take it easy today
