Mic Christopher - Heyday

[@robertpirsig5011]

This song is ridiculously underrated

[@sitdowntwice]

I had no idea it was by an irish artist, i just know and remember it from growing up and I presumed it was a worldwide hit, can't believe its not more known!

[@stephenfurlong7505]

It's not underrated mate...

[@tomfitzpatrick7335]

By a possibly underrated dead singer who did a good job on it

[@seanduddy1175]

I literally thought that a second before I seen ur comment

[@legitbeans9078]

Wait this guy is dead?

[@DBSMBDY]

RIP you legend. Playing this song in my Boston apartment & feeling right at home in Ireland.

[@legitbeans9078]

💚

[@Rando_Shyte]

Wait hes dead?

[@seancafferkey4274]

The man that Glen Hansard and Damien Rice looked up to. Gone far too young. RIP Mic Christopher....a LEGEND

[@bppmurphy]

Always find myself coming back to this song. There's just this sort of intangible sense of positivity and sadness mixed together that I've never found anywhere else

[@martinrea8548]

I wouldn't say sadness, more like a quiet, unshakeable determination. The rhythmm keeps you moving foward, onward to your own personal heyday. Great tune 👍

[@bppmurphy]

​@@martinrea8548 ah yeah the song itself isn't really sad, but it's just how poor Mics life was taken away with a cruel snap of the fingers adds that inescapable layer to it ya know?

[@martinrea8548]

@@bppmurphyI get you now. Hope you're doing well 👍

[@apjpisared]

Been 4-5 years but yep, it always comes back around.

RIP Mic here again 19th February 2021 love from Bernie in the garden in Ireland

Timeless classic, what a voice, Rest in Peace 🌹 gone before your time xx

[@shanefitzpatrick5811]

Your right am a voice.

[@lyonsja]

So many years since that ad and I still love this song so much; such a shame Mic was taken so young.

[@user-bf5vj5kj2l]

The intro to this song followed by lyrics that most would relate to. Its just a great song Being a dad I who is heading to 46 it’s part of my youth, present and future

[@dgister1119]

RIP Mic, another great young talent gone way before their time. I'm sure you are playing still way up there💯🎙🎸

[@aodan666]

Saw him live a good few times back around 2000/‘01 - always class! R.I.P.

[@celinebeurle7915]

He was the most handsome man and amazing singer, but didn't ever want to talk.

[@enormousboon]

Out of somewhere this song popped into my head tonight. I haven't heard it in years. Maybe 5, maybe 10 years. Welcome back to my life. RIP Mic, thanks for the music.

[@apjpisared]

same here horse, was at least before covid for me last time she was up on the playlist there so 4-5 years

[@CK.one1]

Friend lived next door to Mic and I lived up the road from him and met him few times. Really nice guy and died way to young just when was making it in music too. RIP Mic

Mic Christopher - Heyday lyrics For the sun For the light For the ride and for the masters We come to be kind To be warm here and after We've been out But we're back Because we're graced in these matters And we'll rise And we did a little love But we walked We make a sound for the mesto Make a little call to the right To the ball and to the mast-top And we... We fool around now and again We're looking good But just as friends And this is our heyday baby And we're not gonna be afraid to shout Cause we can make our heyday last forever And ain't that what it's all about Oh living, in our own terrible way And we lack a little love, but a sign A sign to get a little messed up Picking up the rules, for the chimes Making up minds and making it last us Cause we live alone, and now we're grown And we know what we're after And we'll rise We fool around now and again We're looking good But just as friends And this is our heyday baby And we're not gonna be afraid to shout Cause we can make our heyday last forever And ain't that what it's all about We fool around now and again We're looking good But just as friends So we have ourselves a break And when we're done And we come to our senses And we'll rise Oh, and we'll rise Cause this is our heyday baby yeah This is our heyday baby This is our heyday baby yeah yeah

[@matthewleevanhoose3433]

Beautiful to read as well. Thank you.

[@stuartclarke2007]

Hello memories. This is a one of a kind song. There is no way you will ever be able to create a song like this. I wonder how many more classic songs like this would have been made if he was still with us. RIP Mic and thanks for the song.

[@pjkavanagh63]

Great song :) a great singer's life taken at his prime RIP Mic Christopher

[@VivianFBannon]

Still here 2024. He was a gem.

[@CARNLOU]

Michael Fassbender... the biggest legend to come out of Killarney, County Kerry. R.I.P. Mic, love this song.

[@martinrea8548]

He's a handy swimmer alright.

[@MichihiroHonda]

He's German lol.

[@apjpisared]

@@MichihiroHonda Ah here gway out of that.

[@MichihiroHonda]

@@apjpisared he has zero "Kerry" blood. He was born in Germany to German and British parents. I think he lived in Kerry for a while though. 👍

[@user-dg8id6xi6t]

@@MichihiroHondaquite incorrect, his mother is Irish and he lived in Ireland from 2 to 19, done all his growing up and schooling in Ireland. Irish blood and Irish bred

I don't think it's a sad song, but it's sad that Mic is gone, and his voice. This is vid is a beautiful hommage to him. I sometimes like to belt this out loud and roar along to the speakers, as my own kinda hommage to MC. : / 🍀

The Guinness ad to which this was the soundtrack was later withdrawn from broadcast after complaints about a scene in the ad where a man dives off the cliff. One viewer complained that the scene "glorified suicide"
