Linger (2017)

"Linger" is from the album Something Else released in 2017, the Cranberries' cover of their early 1993 hit. The original single landed 49th on the US Billboard Hot 100 in 1994. Something Else is the Cranberries seventh studio album, second after their reunion in 2009, but the last for lead vocalist Dolores O'Riordan, whom we lost this year to accidental drowning.

If you, if you could return
Don't let it burn
Don't let it fade

O'Riordan was born on 06 September 1971, and was the youngest of nine children. But two of her siblings died in infancy, so that makes her the seventh and youngest.

"Ave Maria," O'Riordan's duet with Italian operatic tenor Luciano Pavarotti (who passed away 06 September 2007), was played during the service at her funeral in Ireland. In the Roman Catholic calendar, 08 September is appointed feast day of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

(As in other sections, for the month of September, liwaliw Sounds plays around the concept of seven, which in Latin is septem, which is where September is derived from.)
