Guinness television advert
The song gained fame in December 2003 after it appeared on the Guinness advert 'Quarrel', starring Michael Fassbender.
Music is obviously an important part of advertising and particularly Guinness advertising, The idea to pick Heyday was down to Nick(Kelly) who used to be the lead singer in The Fat Lady Sings and has a huge breadth of knowledge of the Irish music industry and music in general. The reason he picked Heyday was that he wanted something that was emotional but not downbeat. The second thing was that he wanted a rhythm from the start, so from the very start of the ad you have motion. -Damian Devaney of Guinness
Re-release
The single was re-released on January 23 2004 as a result of the Guinness advert released a month earlier.
