Paramore Made Dublin’s ‘Dreams’ Come True With A Cover Of The Cranberries’ Classic Song

Paramore‘s Hayley Williams, during the band’s show in Dublin last night (April 13), performed a tribute cover to The Cranberries and the late Dolores O’Riordan. She opted for their classic “Dreams” song, which she performed with an acoustic guitar — showing off just her vocals.

The audience knew the words too, singing along with her.

“I’ve thought about this for years, and you sound better than I imagined,” Williams said during the performance. “I do not think I could ever imagine what the Cranberries felt when people sang this sh*t to them. This is the stuff of legends.”

“And by the way, I know that you’re not the U.K.,” she added during the show, correcting a mistake that she reportedly made earlier. “Sometimes when you’re on a stage with a whole lot of people, you just start saying sh*t, and you don’t know what’s going to come out.”

O’Riordan had passed back in 2018. Upon the original release of “Dreams” in 1992, it was the group’s debut single — reaching the top 50 on the Billboard Hot 100. They went on to add it to their debut album and the rest was history.
