Dolores O'Riordan Interview on 89,7FM Croatian radio station ''Obiteljski radio''

October 2007

Part 1
Dolores O'riordan is tonite's special guest. Last friday she call us by telephone and asked for what area code is +385, when we told her, her reaction was:

Dolores: Croatia, of course i was trying to figure out from where i recieved a phone call.

After introducing myself, i used my best weapon, my birth date, 27th of January, and she answered:

Dolores: Ohh the same as my husband and my daughter, perfect!!

She asked how's the weather in Croatia, we replied back asking the same.

Dolores: Absolutely amazing, it's really sunny today, pretty hot, i went out in a walk in one t-shirt which is kinda bizzare, it's usually cold..But this october we have such a lovely weather in Ireland.

October, or better say Halloween night in 2002, many of Croatian people remember so well..31st of october, five years ago she was here with the Cranberries, so we asked if she remembers that too..

Dolores: I do remember, actaully. I remember people were so emotional during the concert I remember even seeing people crying.

As we heard Dolores wrote a song called Croatia, is that true??

Dolores: Oh yes, it was probably i was so touched seeing this people crying, i realise Croatian people suffer emotionally a lot and i was so sad about it and that's why I wrote this song.

We asked her about some details of song and does she intend to release it someday?

Dolores: Yeah, the chorus goes ''Calling Croatia, I comfort you now'' (my note: i think she says calling croatia instead of call me Croatia, as the overvoice said but im not sure about it), i felt like im giving them consolation, music can be an escape if u can reach the people and fill them with music, in some way you are connected, i felt good touching people hearts. It's all about that, just go there. In every country it's different, you think you have problems, but when you visit other countries you see that there are even more challenges there.(i dont get this sentence but she said smth like this). My eyes are always wide open and when I travel somewhere else I try to learn something new. For the first time I was in South America, it was unbelievable, people are amazing, strong, witty (smth like have lotsa humor) but also so emotional.

In South America, audience really like the song ''When we were young'' from the Are You Listening album which u can listen to now. Stay with us.

Part 2
Beside the music on tonite's show we can present an exclusive interview with Dolores O'Riordan. For four years she doesn't play with the Cranberries, but this year she revitalised her career, she recorded new album, get together a new band and started touring.
On drums we have Graham Hopkins (ex player of Therapy), Marco Mendoza from Thin Lizzy and Steve de Marchi who was playing support guitar with the Cranberries, on her band Dolores says:

Dolores: I know Marco for about 8-9 years, my husband for about 15 years, so he's an old friend and brilliant bass player, Denny DeMarchi is Steve's brother, their father was concert pianist, he was amazing artist, but he passed away when Steve and Denny were young. It's so nice to see that after that they continue to play, Steve on guitar and Denny on keyboards.

How did u all gather in one place?

Dolores: DeMarchi's are old friends of the Burton's, for almost 25 years, my husband decided to hire Marco and it happend in Los Angeles, and Graham well it seems we just bump into him. (i think i can hear her laughing in the back, lol)

Were you all excited about releasing a debut solo album Are you listening?

Dolores: Yeah I was really excited, it was brilliant, you know, it was nice especially after having 4 years off. I had to start from the beggining, start to build my career again, but it feels nice as i think we did something which turn out great. It's really hard nowdays for the artist cause the music industry has changed.

Most of the time you write songs about things that happen in your life, things that happen to you directly, but do you ever get inspired about things that happen to other people, that u meet along the way, the kind of stories that don't happen to you directly but have an affect on you?

Dolores: Oh yeah, definatelly, you know, Ecstasy was not written about me, but about people who had problems with depression, drug addiction. I met so many people through my life, so i write about that side of human spirit, when people suffer, how they survive and live with it and how to be strong. Life is not always easy.

This is Ecstasy, so stay tuned to hear more from Dolores O'Riordan..(but they play Apple of my eyes instead of Ecstasy, xaxaxaxa, as what i can hear it..)

Part 3
Dolores O'Riordan is special guest of the tonite's Total Music Info show. She finished first part of the tour, which included Europe, USA and South America. Only part if the dates of the second European tour was announced which starts in November. Are you looking forward to the new shows and are u thinking of coming back to Croatia?

Dolores: I totally look forward to go back, you know, it should be great. It's been a long time, u said 2002, that's 5 years, well i'll be near so I could drop by.

On Official site www.doloresoriordan.ie, most known singer is writing her tour diary (lol where did he see that, cause she didn't write much..xexe) What is your experienece while travelling and meeting fans?

Dolores: Fans are brilliant, you know, i probably feel that as i write my own songs and the fans are there to give the songs the complete meanings. I live my songs in one way, but it can have different meaning to any other person. The audience (fans) make song alive and all other things why songs keep on existing.

Dolores was one of the favourite singer of the late Pope John Paul II, how she remembers him?

Dolores: Oh I loved him, I love John Paul II, it was lovely. He was the Man who loved people and kids. Something special was arround him, he had aura. It was amazing.

That's the main reason why Dolores was chosen to sing ''Ave Maria'' for Passion of Christ, movie by Mel Gibson. That was not the only connection with the acting and movie, she also had cameo role in Adam Sandler's movie ''Click'' we asked if she sees herself in a movie and what kind of role she would wanna act?

Dolores: I don't think i could act actually because, i think what happens when you are a person who's very well known for being who you are so it's hard to be somebody else. Im not good in transfering in somebody else, some role because im totally into myself, even when i was a little child. We had shows in school, i knew how to sing but never was good for acting as i think i dont know how to act.

I sit true that she loves soap operas?? (my note: where did he heard that, lol)

Dolores: Ah, no. I just wacth ''Carnation street'' but i havent wacth that now this year as i was touring.
