The Collision. are one of Ireland’s most exciting up and coming bands. This young group are part of the tide pushing Irish music forward as they carve their path through the scene.
Baby in Winter was Co-written by Diarmuid and Ciaran, ‘Baby in Winter’ explores the commercialism we are bombarded with daily. It’s told through a lens of nostalgia and the music conveys how easy it is to be consumed by consumerism. The truths of the verses are glossed over by the catchy hook. Built on a groovy and infectious chorus, the song plots the battle between the joys and trappings of materialism. This hopeful banger is laced with longing for the simplicity of days gone-by which is overtaken by the infinite pleasures of today.
Talking about the track, Diarmuid said: “‘Baby in Winter’ really lifts you up inside and it persuades you to be yourself.”
Ciaran said: “It’s my favourite track from the EP. I love writing with Diarmuid and I think ‘Baby in Winter’ shows how well our contrasting styles work together.”
