Pretty Eyes

The Cranberries · Wake Up And Smell The Coffee [2001]

Pretty eyes, pretty eyes

Not a cloud in my day

Not a cloud in my way

Angel eyes, no disguise

No pretention is here

No pretention, no fear



Don't leave me calling

Don't leave me falling

Don't leave me calling

Don't leave me falling



Stay awhile, stay awhile

I will tell you my mind

I will tell you my mind



I will kill everything

Just to take off your pain

Just to take off your pain



Don't leave me calling

Don't leave me falling

Don't leave me calling

Don't leave me falling

Pretty Eyes

The Cranberries' "Pretty Eyes" stands as a defining track from their 2001 album "Wake Up And Smell The Coffee," showcasing the band's signature blend of alternative rock and melodic pop. Featuring Dolores O'Riordan's soaring vocals and the band's characteristic guitar-driven sound, the song captures the emotional intensity and lyrical depth that characterized their work during the early 2000s. Released following the success of their debut, the recording reflects the group's continued evolution while maintaining the raw, anthemic quality that made them a global phenomenon. It remains a staple of their discography, often performed live to resonate with audiences who connect with its themes of longing and resilience.
