Irish indie-rockers Diveboy have released the music video for their new single ‘Glory Days’. Formerly known as The Burma, Tony O’Donovan (vocals), Peter Piggott (lead guitar) and Cian Doherty (drums) recently relaunched as Diveboy with the release of their Summer indie anthem ‘Suntrap’ and a live set at All Together Now.
Produced by Grammy Award-winner Ruadhrí Cushnan (Ed Sheeran, Snow Patrol, Shawn Mendes), new single ‘Glory Days’ is an up-tempo indie track rooted in nostalgia and the fleeting nature of youth. The single explores the idea of maintaining your youth as you age, by being open minded and accepting of change rather than through pretentiousness.
Lead vocalist Tony explains, “It’s easy to fall into the trap of being bitter as you get older, thinking that everything was better back in ‘your day’. In our town, they shut the nightclub down during covid and everyone laments that there’s nothing there for the young people of the town anymore, but the new generation will always have their own thing and I’m sure they couldn’t care less about our exaggerated tales of a bygone era.”
He continues, “There was a prayer on the wall of my Grandmother’s house that she cut out of the paper that said, ‘God grant me the serenity to say less as I get older’, so the sentiment of ‘Glory Days’ lies there.”
