Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?》(1993)这是乐队的初试啼声,却赢得满堂喝彩,而且在比较排斥英伦摇滚的美国,也获得极大成功,乐队正式凭借单曲Linger红遍美国,而后再在英国出名的,抛开销量、另类等不谈,单说他们的音乐,是非常动听的,不但是Dolores的嗓音。更主要,我以为是他们把握住了旋律与节奏的变换,快慢相宜,英伦吉他流行曲的旋律与在当时比较少见的女主音结合,非常入耳,尤其以Linger、Dream、How为甚,美中不足的就是专辑内过多的情歌虽然增加了流行面,却削弱了爱尔兰乐队独有的音乐天分和气质。
Dreams - The Cranberries
Written by:Noel Hogan/Dolores O'Riordan
Oh my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems
I know I've felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
And then I open up and see
The person falling here is me
A different way to be
I want more impossible to ignore
Impossible to ignore
And they'll come true
Impossible not to do
Impossible not to do
And now I tell you openly
You have my heart so don't hurt me
You're what I couldn't find
A totally amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me
Oh my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And oh my dreams
It's never quite as it seems
Cause you're a dream to me
Dream to me
