It’s been over 25 years since this band descended on the music world with a voice and sound unlike anything else out there. The one Cranberries song that has stayed with me this whole time is “Ridiculous Thoughts”. Not “Dreams”, “Zombie”, “Linger” or “Salvation”. It’s “Ridiculous Thoughts” because it’s a rock song structured like a classical music piece. Four minutes long with four movements: the opening yodel, the verse-by-verse strut, the spiraling chorus and the howling refrain.

“I feel alright and I cried so hard. The ridiculous thoughts, oh, I feel alright.”
