“Analyse” by The Cranberries
From the album Wake Up and Smell the Coffee (2001)
“Analyse” by The Cranberries appears on 3 radio countdowns from 3 stations in 2001. It was first released in 2001 on the album Wake Up and Smell the Coffee. Its best result is #69 on the CD101 Top 101 Songs of 2001. In the combined RockLists rankings it is the #214 alternative song of 2001.
"Analyse" opened the Wake Up and Smell the Coffee chapter for the Cranberries in 2001, the first single from the Irish band's fifth album, and it's Dolores O'Riordan's song alone: she wrote the words and music and sings lead. Stephen Street produced it and mixed it with Cenzo Townshend, who also recorded it, while Noel Hogan plays acoustic and electric guitars and adds backing vocals, Mike Hogan plays bass and Fergal Lawler covers drums and percussion.
History got in the way. Keir McFarlane's video had to be recut after the 9/11 attacks, which helped hold the single down at 28 in Ireland and 89 in Britain, though Italy, Portugal and Spain all pushed it into their top tens. Marius de Vries reworked it as the "Oceanic remix", a chill-out version dressed with light electronica and extra piano.
