Paramore’s set in Dublin featured 21 songs, including songs from their latest album and smash hits “Decode”, “Misery Business”, and “Ain’t It Fun”. Despite having a very long setlist, they also made sure to honor The Cranberries by performing one of their biggest hits at Dublin’s 3Arena. Williams delivered an acoustic rendition of “Dreams” following Paramore’s 2009 ballad “The Only Exception”.

“Dreams” was originally released as the first single from the Irish band’s debut studio album Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? from 1993. The song reached the top 50 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and the top 30 on the UK Singles Chart but grew in popularity as the years went by.

Paramore is currently busy promoting their sixth studio album This Is Why, which was released on February 10. The tour covers North America, Europe, and Latin America, with Bloc Party, Foals, The Linda Lindas, Genesis Owusu, and Claud serving as supporting acts.

The track is number three on their final album, In the End, released last April. 

According to Rolling Stone, the video was made in a collaboration between the band and students at the Limerick School of Art and Design, located in the Cranberries’ hometown of Limerick, Ireland.

The clip features a woman running and evolving into different animals before transforming back to herself.

Creative director Tom Clancy said the woman “could be interpreted as representing mother nature, through a feminine superhero who is attempting to overcome all that crosses her path. On her journey, she morphs into various animals whose habitats exist between land, water and sky.”

“While ‘Wake Me When It’s Over’ is obviously about [late] Dolores [O’Riordan’s] personal experiences, the directors take on it as a song about the destruction of our natural environment,” drummer Fergal Lawler tells the outlet. “In keeping with her long held belief that the listener can always decide for themselves what any of her songs are about.”

Dolores O’Riordan died at the age of 46 in London. Although the cause of death was not revealed to the public, police confirmed that it’s not being treated as suspicious.

You can read the full statement of the band about Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can’t We? reissue and release of The Cranberries new album below.

“This month marks the 25th anniversary of the release of our debut album “Everybody Else is doing it so why can’t we”. In recent weeks we have had a number of media enquiries asking if we were planning anything to commemorate this milestone.

We can confirm that since last summer the band had been working with Universal Music on the creation of a very special 25th anniversary edition of the album, a newly re mastered version with previously unreleased material of ours as well as other bonus material from the era of our debut album. We had planned to release this special edition this month to coincide with the 25th anniversary. However, given Dolores’ passing in January we put the entire project on hold.

In recent weeks we revisited this. After much consideration we have decided to finish what we started. We thought about it and decided that as this is something that we started as a band, with Dolores, we should push ahead and finish it. So that’s the plan, to finish the project and get the special 25th anniversary edition album out later this year.

We will also be completing the recording of a new studio album as previously announced, which we also started last year and for which Dolores had already recorded the vocals. All going well we hope to have this new album finished and out early next year.
We will keep you all up to date as things progress.

Noel, Mike and Ferg”
