Decades after its initial release, "Linger" remains not just one of The Cranberries' most beloved songs, but one of the most enduring songs of the entire era - and with good reason. The lovesick, tender track perfectly encapsulates the emotional intensity of unreciprocated love, with captivating string arrangements and Dolores O'Riordan's ethereal vocals cementing it as a timeless classic. Amidst the rich musical backdrop, the poignant exploration of love's heartache resonates deeply with audiences, making it a quintessential part of The Cranberries' legacy.
Lawler explains, "I've heard that song millions and millions of times and played it millions - well, thousands of times. So, to hear this whole re-imagined, fresh, new version was just incredible. With Dolores' vocal there, it was hard to put it into words. I think it's something that she would have loved." This sentiment highlights the balance between honoring the original and embracing innovation in music, showcasing the enduring power of O'Riordan's vocals in contemporary renditions.
