UncertainThe Cranberries

Released: October 28, 1991

[Verse 1]
Tears on your face, honey
You're a total disgrace
Oh-oh, why, oh, why did you bring me here?
Oh-ho-oh, start all over again, honey
You still treat me the same

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh-oh, why, oh, why did you bring me here?
Oh-ho-ho-oh, you had everything, oh-ho, I could ever want
Won't you tell me why?
The panic and the fears

[Chorus]
Oh-ho-ho, so uncertain in love
You're so uncertain in love
So uncertain

[Verse 2]
Driving in the car, honey
You mistook me by far
Oh-oh, why, oh, why did you bring me here?
Oh-ho-ho, leaves in the wind, honey
You had nothing to send
Oh-oh, why, oh, why did you bring me here?

[Chorus]
Oh-ho-ho, so uncertain in love
So uncertain in love, in love, in love
So uncertain in love, in love, in love

[Outro]
Oh-ho-ho, so uncertain in love
So uncertain in, certain in, certain in
So uncertain in love, certain in love, certain in, certain in, certain in

The Cranberries

The Cranberries were an Irish band who found major international success throughout the 1990s as a part of the alternative rock movement. The group’s lineup included Dolores O'Riordan (singer and songwriter), Noel Hogan (guitarist and songwriter), Mike Hogan (bassist) and Fergal Lawler (drummer). Originally formed in 1989 under the name The Cranberry Saw Us, the band released an independent EP in 1991 that caught the attention of the industry. SPIN Magazine described the band’s sound as “dreamy swirl pop, midway between The Smiths and the Cocteau Twins cradling the will-o’-the-wispy vocals of Dolores O’Riordan.”

In 1992, the band began recording their first album for Island Records with Stephen Street, a producer best known for working with The Smiths. Their debut, Everybody Else is Doing It So Why Can’t We?, was initially ignored when released in early 1993, and it wasn’t until that fall—after the band opened for Suede and Duran Duran on their US tours—that MTV picked up on their single “Linger”. The song eventually peaked at #4 on the US Pop chart in 1994, and the album sold five million copies. Success around the world followed.

Later that year, the band released their sophomore album No Need To Argue, which went on to sell 7 million copies in the US. The lead single, “Zombie,” was a departure from the wistful love songs the band was known for, showcasing aggressive distorted guitars and a bold political message. The song was an immediate smash, hitting at #1 in several countries and topping the US Modern Rock chart. The follow-up single “Ode To My Family,” was a top 40 hit as well.
