I am so sad about Dolores O’Riordan. To The Faithful Departed was one of the first CDs I ever owned, and Dolores and her music gave me so many feelings, some of which I didn’t even understand until much later. Even though I haven’t listened to the music in a good long while, I feel a real loss in her passing at such a young age.
