"'When You're Gone'" is a rock ballad recorded by Irish band the Cranberries. It is the third single from their third studio album 'To the Faithful Departed' (1996). The music video was directed by Karen Bellone and was released at the end of 1996. The song was first played during the North American leg of the No Need to Argue Tour in Autumn 1994.
Upon its release, the song peaked at number four in Norway, earning a Platinum disc there, and reached number 15 in Canada. It additionally peaked within the top thirty in France, Iceland, Ireland, New Zealand, and the United States. In 2017, the song was released as an acoustic, stripped-down version on the band's 'Something Else' album. The song was played at the end of Dolores O'Riordan's funeral on 23 January 2018, following her sudden death a week before in London at the age of 46. It was also played by the majority of Irish radio stations at the same time during the funeral.
