Today I bring you a short but "haunting" tune from the  @TheCranberriesTV   


As you might know, Dolores, the singer already passed unfortunately. But let us celebrate her with this little recommendation. 


This song is of course not their big hit, which I might cover in a coming Episode. 


It is rather a short, fast and to the point song against drugs. You could read the lyrics also ironically I guess, but I chose them to mean what they seem to say, but judge for yourself:  


"Salvation" 


To all those people doin' lines, 


Don't do it, don't do it. 


Inject your soul with liberty, 


It's free, it's free.  


To all the kids with heroin eyes, 


Don't do it, don't do it. 


Because it's not not what it seems, 


No no it's not not what it seems.  


Salvation, salvation, salvation is free. 


Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.  


Ah, ah, ah, ah  


To all the parents with sleepless nights, 


Sleepless nights. 


Tie your kids home to their beds, 


Clean their heads.  


To all the kids with heroin eyes, 


Don't do it, don't do it. 


Because it's not not what it seems, 


No no it's not not what it seems.  


Salvation, salvation, salvation is free. 


Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.  


Salvation, salvation, salvation is free. 


Salvation, salvation, salvation is free.  


Ah, ah, ah, ah  


I also really like the creepy video, reminding me of a  @TimBurtonMX  Movie, like  @Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas  or  @Rocío Edward Scissorhands
