- Dolores sings along with the guitar melody and sounds just like another guitar. There is also one moment when Dolores is singing over the drums, that sounds awesome too.
“Promises” has a very melancholic and dark sound Is a song about a broken relationship with very straightforward lyrics. Is a song about broken promises and a relationship coming to its end. It is not a sad song though it is just a powerful way of
showing regrets.
“Promises” is an awesome song. There, The Cranberries showed how that even they were mostly an alternative and pop rock band, they could also make solid songs with a much harder sound. It was a great single, I remember watching the video for the song a lot on MTV and VH1 and the video was great too, it has the same dark look that the song has, with Dolores encarnating some sort of sorceress.
