The Cranberries("卡百利"乐队, 也有译作"小红莓"乐队)是一个来自爱尔兰(爱尔兰是以英语为主要语言的欧洲音乐重镇)的知名摇滚乐队,与U2,Sinead O"Connor,Enya等一样, 都是带领爱尔兰音乐走向世界的重要力量.在卡百利乐队成立以前, 三个主要成员Noel, Mike和Fergal都是在一个名叫"The Cranberry Saw Us"的乐队中干了大约半年. 后来, 这个乐队的主唱Nial因为个人的原因, 决定退出,为了不影响乐队的正常发展, 他把他的一个好朋友推荐给了乐队, 这个人后来成了卡百利乐队最重要的人物, 她就是Dolores(德洛丽丝), 全名为Dolores Mary Eileen O"Riordan(德洛丽丝·玛丽·艾琳·奥里奥丹), 在嫁给巡回演出经纪人Don Burton后,改名为Dolores Mary O"Riordan Burton(德洛丽丝·玛丽·奥里奥丹·伯顿).

The Cranberries受到人们喜爱与女主音Dolores是分不开的. 她出身于一个天主教家庭,三岁起就开始唱歌, 因此念就了一副天使般的嗓子, 尤其是她独特的咽音发声, 更是受到后来的一些女歌手相继的模仿(比如王菲). 十几岁的时候, 她已开始弹钢琴并且自己作曲, 另外也有了组建乐队的一些想法.上帝的安排, 使Dolores与这帮急于找到一个新搭档的家伙走到了一起. 她一流的演唱水平很快就得到了另外三人的认同. 为了有个新的开始, 他(她)们一起组建了新的乐队, 取名就叫The Cranberries, 时间是在1990年5月.

1993 年2月22日, The Cranberries的首张专辑《Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?》(每个人都可以做, 我们又有什么不可以?)问世, 随即获得了巨大的成功, 并为她们赢得了世界性的荣誉. 这张专辑在在Billboard专辑榜停留达两年之久, 至今销量已超过700万张,在中国也有双白金销量.《Dreams》高亢的回复音色,发出Dolores自信的宣告,神话色彩的MTV里她浅吟低唱,和弦节奏密实紧凑,清爽干净.这首单曲后来曾被王菲翻唱成《梦中人》.

1994年9月27日, 他(她)们又发行了第二张专辑《No Need To Argue》(勿需争辩), 大获成功, 一年内即热卖一千两百万张.乐队也跻身世界一流乐队的行列.

1995年11月27日, 乐队推出了第一,二张专辑的合辑《Everybody Else Is Doing It/ No Need To Argue》以馈乐迷, 套双碟版的合辑收录了前两张专辑的全部歌曲.

1996 年4月29日, 第三张专辑《To the faithful departed》(致死去的人们)问世. 整张专辑制作得非常完整,在这张专辑中乐队第一次把歌词放到了"反战"这个字眼上,但不仅仅如此,他们还嘲笑了偶像(也许还包括自己),Dolores的嗓音终于可以畅快淋漓一把.这张专辑比起他们的上两张专辑而言,在编曲和配器上精巧细致,在歌词里,内容更广泛,更广阔,The Cranberries可以歌颂爱情,可以庭院深深,可以幽怨曲曲,但他们也可以关注不幸,指责战争,呼唤和平,而且他们还可以做的很好.

1999 年4月19日, The Cranberries推出了他(她)们的第四张专辑, 名为"Bury The Hatchet"(和解), 这张在Dolores产子后(1997年, 女儿Taylor Baxter Burton在多伦多诞生)推出的专辑虽然受到了一些诘难(如有人说她因为在加拿大呆得太久, 原先在爱尔兰的灵气也失掉了,旋律滞重, 呆板等), 但我认为还是有不少的经典歌曲, 如Animal Instinct(动物本能), Promises(承诺), Just My Imagination(只是想想而已)等.

2000年4月19日, 乐队又发行双碟装的《Bury The Hatchet : The Complete Sessions 》, 它是"和解"这张专辑的增强版, 1号碟与《Bury The Hatchet》这张专辑相同, 2号碟中则主要以前面的专辑中的歌曲的现场版为主, 另外也加入了Baby Blues(产后抑郁症, 这时候Dolores已经作母亲了), Sweetest Thing(最甜蜜的事), Woman Without Pride(失去自尊), Such A Shame(耻辱), Paparazzi On Mopeds(骑脚踏车的摄影师)等几首新歌.

2001年10月3日, 卡百利乐队的第五张专辑《Wake Up And Smell The Coffee》(起床闻闻咖啡香)开始发行, 这张在乐队沉寂乐坛两年后推出的专辑为乐迷们带来了新鲜的气息, 专辑由昔日的制作搭档Stephen Streets在爱尔兰首府都柏林制作完成.透过新专辑,可以听见团员们内蕴的感情充分获得释放,而纯熟的技术和默契更是发挥的淋漓尽致.旋律流畅轻快的首支单曲"Analyse"(追根究底)提醒乐迷别钻牛角尖,别追根究底,要懂得享受生活中简单的幸福,极致展现主唱Dolores的招牌唱腔俳句式的 "Pretty Eyes"(迷人的眼睛)散发出迷人的60年代风味;"Time is Ticking Out"(时光飞逝)则延续The Cranberries的批判风格.另外, 这张专辑根据不同的版本(英国版,北美版,日本版,国际版), 还增加了几首附送的歌曲以馈乐迷. 如日本版的就分别是:I Can't Be With You (不能和你在一起,Live in Paris 1999),Zombie (行尸走肉,Live in Paris 1999)及In The Ghetto (犹太人区,Studio version)

2002年4月8日,The Cranberries发行了回顾历史性质的《Treasure Box》("珍宝盒"), "盒子"里是可谓重量级的四碟装的珍藏版套装, 几乎收录了乐队成立以来全部重要的歌曲. 可以算是对乐队成立十多年来的一个总结.而同年9月16日推出的《Stars - The Best Of 1992 – 2002》(星光大道)则是主要收录了1992年至2002年, 乐队这十年间的经典歌曲的精选集, 共计20首歌曲. 其中只有New New York(崭新纽约, 专为9.11而作)和Stars(星光大道)两首是新歌.

接下来的2002年9月24日, The Cranberries推出了一张双碟装的限量版的精选集 - 《Stars - The Best of 1992-2002(Limited Edition)》, 即(星光大道限量版). 其中一张和前面的《Stars - The Best Of 1992 – 2002》完全相同. 另一张则只有五首歌, 全部是2002年在瑞典首都斯德哥尔摩录制的现场版的歌曲, 分别是: Zombie(行尸走肉), Ode To My Family(献给我的家人), Animal Instinct (动物本能), Salvation (救赎), Daffodil Lament (水仙挽歌), 这些都是为了纪念9.11事件而专门制作的.

你现在试听到的是Dying in the sun,听起来很舒服的一首歌!

Do you remember
The things we used to say?
I feel so nervous
When I think of yesterday

How could I let things
Get to me so bad?
How did I let things get to me?

Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying in the sun
Like dying...

Will you hold on to me
I am feeling frail
Will you hold on to me
We will never fail

I wanted to be so perfect you see
I wanted to be so perfect

Dreams (王菲《梦中人》原曲)

Oh my life is changing everyday
in every possible way
And though my dreams
it's never quite as it seems
Never quite as it seems

I know I felt like this before
But now I'm feeling it even more
Because it came from you
Then I open up and see
The person fumbling 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
For what I couldn't find
Talk to me amazing mind
So understanding and so kind
You're everything to me
Oh my life is changing everyday
In every possible way
And though my dreams
it's never quite as it seems
'cause you're a dream to me
Dream to me

Another head hangs lowly
Child is slowly taken
And the violence caused such silence
Who are we mistaken

But You see it's not me,
It s not my family
In your head,in your head
They are fighting
With their tanks, and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head
In your head they are crying

In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie

Another mother's breaking
Heart is taking over
When the violence causes silence
We must be mistaken

It's the same old theme since 1916
In your head,
In your head they're still fighting
With their tanks ,and their bombs
And their bombs, and their guns
In your head
In your head they are dying

In your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie
What's in your head, in your head
Zombie, zombie, zombie

When You're Gone

Hold on to love. That is what I do,
Now that I've found you.
And from above, everything's stinking,
They r not around you.
And in the night, I could be helpless
I could be lonely, sleeping without you.
And in the day, everything's complex
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you.
But, I miss you when you're gone.
That is what I do, Bay, Bay, Bay
And it's going to carry on,
That is what I knew, Bay, Bay, Bay
Hold on to my hands,
I feel me sinking, sinking without you.
And to my mind, everything's stinking
Stinking without you.
And I miss you when you're gone.
That is what I do, Bay, Bay, Bay
And it's going to carry on,
That is what I do, Bay, Bay, Bay
