Dublin four-piece The Riptide Movement have just released their beautiful Christmas song ‘Turn on the Lights’. The song is full of hope and is truly of the times – perfectly complimenting the current Guinness Campaign #KeepTheLightsOn, on which it features.

The Guinness #KeepTheLightsOn campaign quite literally shines a light on pubs, highlighting their readiness for a safe reopening. Recorded and produced in Sonic Ranch Studios, Texas with Grammy award winning Producer Ted Hutt the song is accompanied by a nostalgic video of Dublin City at Christmas, filmed by Crooked Gentlemen in pre-covid times.

Doused in the wonderfully emotive songwriting this band do so well, ‘Turn on the Lights’ is a heartwarming and delicately crafted new tune from The Riptide Movement. The band coat an uplifting chorus in warm guitars, bright drums and rich chiming percussion. Mal Tuohy’s passionate vocals soothe over this ethereal backdrop for the verses before lifting the song’s crescendo to angelic heights. Exuding country rock tones this positive and emotive track is a moving and well written gem.
