Wiki

"Dying In The Sun" is a piano indie ballad by the Irish band The Cranberries taken from their 4th studio album "Bury The Hatchet".

In an interview given to Dave Fanning (Ovation’s Music Express, 1999) Dolores explained that she wrote Dying in the Sun during when she was pregnant of her first child, she said about the song: “I was looking back at the negative me, that kind of sad period I went through and I was kinda say I never want to go back to that, now I’m moving forward and I’m becoming a happy person like I used to be always.”

In an interview to Launch (1999), Dolores said: “So we went off and discovered our own lives. I got pregnant, and then I started writing songs. I remember writing the first song at the piano. It was really beautiful; it was called “Dying In The Sun.” It’s the last track on the album. I remember that I was teary and kind of happy because I could write again, because I wanted to write again. I think I was about four months pregnant; it was around that time that the baby moved, and the inspiration just came out. I was really happy, because it was really scary to hate music and hate singing.”
