Combining the melodic jangle of post-The Smiths indie pop with the lilting, trance-inducing sonic textures of late-80s dream pop and adding a slight Celtic tint, The Cranberries became one of the more successful groups to emerge from the indie scene of the early 90s. Led by vocalist Dolores O'Riordan, whose keening, powerful voice was the most distinctive element of the group's sound, the group initially made little impact in the United Kingdom.
It wasn't until the lush ballad "Linger" became an American hit in 1993 that the band also achieved mass success in the U.K. Following the success of "Linger", The Cranberries quickly became international stars, as both their 1993 debut album, Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?, and its 1994 follow-up, No Need to Argue, sold millions of copies and produced a string of hit singles like "Dreams", "Zombie" and "Ode to My Family".
By the time of their third album, 1996's To the Faithful Departed, the group had added distorted guitars to its sonic palette and attempted to make more socially significant music, which resulted in a downturn in the band's commercial fortunes.
During the next few years, the band cancelled a large tour and rumours of a breakup were widespread. In 1999, they released Bury the Hatchet to mixed reviews. In 2001, the band issued Wake Up and Smell the Coffee to rave reviews. The album debuted at number 46 in the US charts.
In 2002, The Cranberries released the compilation Stars: The Best of 1992-2002, which was supported by the single "Stars".
In 2003, The Cranberries announced they were taking some time to pursue individual careers. They decided to put the next album on hold. After more than a dozen years of relentless touring and promotion, which had seen them clocking up album sales in excess of 43 million and playing to hundreds of thousands of fans around the globe, the band decided it was time for a break.
In 2007, Dolores O'Riordan released her debut solo album titled Are You Listening?. Two years later she released her second solo album, No Baggage.
On 25 August 2009, Dolores O'Riordan announced that The Cranberries will be reuniting for a North American tour to begin in mid-November 2009, to be followed by dates in Europe in early 2010. O'Riordan indicated that the band will be playing songs from her solo albums and a lot of The Cranberries classic hits as well as some new music written by the group together.
The Cranberries recorded Roses at the Metalworks Studios in Toronto (Canada) from 18 April to 15 May 2011 with producer Stephen Street, who previously collaborated with the band on first, second and fifth albums. The Cranberries worked on 15 tracks during the Roses session, although not all will be included on the album. The album is scheduled for release on 14 February, 2012.
On 26 May 2016, the Cranberries announced that they would start their next tour in Europe. The first show was held on June 3.
A new "unplugged" Cranberries album titled Something Else, featuring the band's hits along with three new songs, was released on 28 April 2017 through BMG. The album received mostly positive reviews.
On 15 January 2018, lead singer Dolores 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, releasing their final album In the End in April 2019 and disbanding afterward.Noel Hogan stated: "the Cranberries was the four of us. We don’t want to do this without Dolores. So we’re going to leave it after this."
The Cranberries' final album In the End has been nominated for Best Rock Album at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards. The awards take place at the Staples Center in Los Angeles on January 26, 2020.

The Cranberries Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Breathe the air out there
We are free, we can be wide open
For you opened my eyes, to the beauty I see
We will pray, we will stay wide open
Don't analyze, don't analyze
That would paralyze your evolution
Don't analyze, don't analyze
Don't go that way, don't live that way
That would paralyze your evolution
La ah ah this greatest moment
La ah ah this greatest day
La ah ah the greatest love of them all
La ah ah this greatest moment
La ah ah this greatest day
La ah ah the greatest love of them all
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Breathe the air, out there
Fantasize, fantasize we are open
For you opened my eyes, to the beauty I see
We will pray, we will stay together

The Cranberries' song "Analyse" appears to be an uplifting anthem about loving and embracing the present moment and not worrying too much about the future. The lyrics speak of breathing in the fresh air and feeling free to be oneself. The song encourages listeners not to overanalyze and worry too much about the direction of their life as that would only "paralyze your evolution" or limit what one's future might bring.
The song seems to be written for someone who shines a light on the world around them and shows the singer the beauty that exists. The lyrics mention praying and staying together, which could refer to the enduring relationships formed when people value and cherish one another. The song lyrics repeat lines about "this greatest moment," "this greatest day," and "the greatest love of them all," signaling that the present moment and those we love are the most important things in life.
One of the striking things about this song is how it incorporates both a positive message and a beautiful melody. The track seems to showcase the Cranberries' signature sound of soaring vocals, dreamy melodies, and thoughtful lyrics. Fans of the band might appreciate how "Analyse" harkens back to some of the group's earlier work while still offering something fresh and inspiring.

She got killed.
Induced suicide is murder all the way.
I know those stories all too well. So many people suicided.
I wonder why someone would still buy those lies.
Every suicide is a murder case.
