Linger


"Linger" by The Cranberries is originally in the key of D major. It was released in 1993 as part of their debut album, "Everybody Else Is Doing It, So Why Can't We?" The song was written by band members Dolores O'Riordan and Noel Hogan. The Cranberries, an Irish rock band, became globally recognized with O'Riordan's unique voice and the song's distinctive blend of alternative rock and pop elements. "Linger" was inspired by Dolores O'Riordan's first serious kiss. The melody features a relaxing orchestra arrangement that complements its reflective lyrics, creating an evocative and poignant listening experience.
