Mic Christopher

[@DrummerTConlon]

Little do the audience know, this song will last forever, being one of the best songs ever made!! RIP Mic

[@89Nisee]

RIP MIC continue making fantastic music wherever you are. You passed on some great life lessons to us before you had to leave. When i listen to your music it makes me proud to be Irish and know we have such talent. You were and still are an inspiration to this generation and generations to come. "This is our heyday baby, and we're not gonna be afraid to shout..."

[@dougslaback3459]

On the anniversary of his death reminds us that today is our HEYDAY. God Bless you Mic and Thank you for your legacy

[@Legaleze50]

I'm happy for Glen and what has happened with his career -- an academy award no less. I knew he had it in him and he seems like a happy person. He deserves all the success he can get. But I can't stop watching Mic. What an amazing talent. He sang (and wrote) from somewhere deep inside that touches people still. It touches me.

[@knockout84]

RIP Mic.... Good to see Glen is dedicating this song to him at the Frames concert, gone but not forgotten....

[@Legaleze50]

Mic was in a motor bike accident. He was working as a courier/messenger and someone hit him on his motor bike. It happened in the summer of 2000 and he was in traction. Having to convalesce he wrote "Heyday" which probably did have something to do with the accident and the brevity of things such as your heyday. Very sad; he's an amazing talent and I can't imagine the heights he could have reached.

This right here is what I love about KZbin. Thanks to Patrick Glennon, over 66,000 people were in The Spirit Store that famous night to share in this musical bliss!!

[@pedgeman]

mate I actually discovered this song after I stumbled on one of your songs by complete chance. It is one of the best songs I have ever heard and you Irish seem to have a knack of making songs that make a lasting impression. If you are the guy that sings bumble bee i have to say that song blew me away. Best wishes from Australia, you are brilliant

[@didoma73]

and that's exactly how glen is carry on mic's legacy...with happiness and a refreshed outlook in life, doing something that he knows mic would want to do his entire life had that tragedy didn't happen

[@LeeMcDaidDonegal]

Just listening to this can make a bad day your own personnel Heyday!...That's your true legacy Mic... Hope the Guinness is good in the after life!

[@nickd3895]

[@markc1972]

Great version of a great song. RIP.

[@womanatwittsend]

That's Right! Thanks for jogging my memory!

[@womanatwittsend]

I beg to differ, Mic's says it's about "everyday being your best day" or HeyDay. That's the beauty and essence of this song.

[@LeeMcDaidDonegal]

Great song,Great singer.....

[@paulsca79]

legend always was always will be dont ever forget him

[@gramach]

Dictionary meaning of Heyday is The period of greatest popularity, success, or power; prime This was certainly Mics time. Down through all of eternity the crying of humanity, tis' then when the hurdy gurdy man comes singing songs of love. Donovan

[@harrrbo]

There are no words....

[@Irishneil]

1 man and his guitar sounding like this... thats all that has to be said!

[@Legaleze50]

Summer 2000 he was doing motor bike courier service and a car cut him off. He was laid up for months, neck brace and all -- and wrote this song. In November 2001 he had the fall in Holland from which he never recovered. I think two head injuries was just too much for his body to take. It's possible that he might have survived the Holland fall had he not already had a head injury the prior year.

[@haw39]

[@kiwiproject]

Has anyone noticed, the Irish know how to make great music? Mic is proof of that.. I so wish I could hear what he'd make if he was with us. He'd be 40 now :( ....

[@laurarominger2073]

Love Irish singers. Love all music but they s m to raise to the top of my playlists. Glenn Hansard. Van morrison. Paulo Nutini. Phil lennett. I’m a Fitzpatrick now. Married into at 49 years old. Proud to be faux Irish. ❤

[@sandyscrap]

It would`ve been his birthday today. He is still badly missed by so many....

[@Legaleze50]

[@womanatwittsend]

OK this is a long shot, but my husband gave me a mandolin for Christmas. Anyone out there know chords or tabs for this for mandolin?????

[@Clayer001]

am i think what they are saying is that he was in an accident and after that he wrote "hey day" as a new outlook kinda thing, not that he died in a motorcycling accident. becasue your right with the holland bit. xD ♥

[@PeteL192]

Hero.

[@stuman06]

Fair play to ya

[@pedgeman]

BTW not stalking ya champ, just wanted to find out if you had more songs. Clearly not enough on the tube anyway, get to work son. As for Mic Christopher, would never have found him if it werent for some searching here, amazing artist, very sad I have found his music now he has passed

[@sylvairo]

In G I play that part 032000 then 032030. Hope that helps.

[@millercork]

R.I.P Mic

[@nightfox]

The guy never said he died from a motor cycle accident, he said he wrote this song due to a motor cycle accident he had but survived

[@bohosbaddest]

Does any one know what caused his death?

[@etherashe5164]

Shit I miss ireland

[@paudiemaguire1]

lets see bressie top that

[@rossco222]

5 - - 7 This is the main part i think,tabbed - 5 4 - chords to d left,keep 3rd and 4th 7 7 7 7 fingers on the d and g string 6 6 6 6 allowing first finger to play first 0 0 0 0 three chords and forth finger for d 0 0 0 0 last,hope this helps u.

[@womanatwittsend]

Mic was in a serious accident,I think about a year before. I've heard that it him a new perspective on life, which I feel may have been much of the impetus behind this song. Given that your instincts are not far off. (or odd)

[@anniecorless6735]

Where did you ain't going no where go

[@womanatwittsend]

He slipped on some steps and hit his head. I beleive he was in the hospital about 2 weeks, but just didn't make it. There's a wonderful 3 part video tribute, Troubadour, that tells his story. (see Related Videos to the right of these comments)

[@kiwiproject]

hahahah no way???? that is me mate.

[@thebluevelvetriver]

@kiwiproject agreed agreed agreed

[@lisasfanno1]

@kiwiproject oh we have noticed! and this has nothing to do with patriotism. it's just a fact. I'm still upset about Mic even all after those years. guess it won't ever get better. got The Mary Janes' Sham and uploaded it here on yt if interested. sure u know it's Mic's band.

[@rossco222]

sorry keep 2nd and 3rd finger on d and g string.
