"Twenty-One" is a track from the Cranberries' 1994 album No Need to Argue, and it's the band in a reflective, low-lit mood. Dolores O'Riordan wrote the words and the music with Noel Hogan, and the two of them weave electric and acoustic guitars together while O'Riordan adds keyboards and sings lead, her voice doing the heavy lifting. Mike Hogan on bass and Fergal Lawler on drums and percussion keep a light touch, and Stephen Street, producing and engineering, leaves plenty of air around them.
