First Day Lions pen an infectious, Greta Thunberg-inspired summer banger.
First Day Lions have returned to soundtrack your summer with a brand new track. Called 'Summer Child', the track brings together the infectious energy of summer and commentary on our changing world.
"For inspiration we looked to our own passions," the band explains. "One that ranks right up there is ‘being happy’. Priorities right? But being conscious of the big, blue and green marble that we call “home”, is up there too. So we set out combining the two, keeping in mind that we wanted to make sure anyone, anywhere could play it. At the beach, in the car, being Irish and googling images of clear blue skies and an outdoor pool, etc."
The track was also inspired by Greta Thunberg. "We wanted the song to take from the point of view of someone who could understand that the world needed to change, but takes a minute to remember the ‘simpler’ life before."
