Wild Youth | Ireland 2023

1 year ago

Wild Youth

Formed in Dublin in 2018, this band of 4 friends combine rock with catchy pop harmonies. Their energetic performances have led to a string of hit songs and - the aim of any pop group - number one hits.

If you haven’t seen them performing on television, you might have caught them supporting megastars on tour; they’ve warmed up crowds for the likes of Niall Horan, Lewis Capaldi, and Zara Larson.

Frontman Conor O’Donohoe serves up passionate vocals and pens most of the band’s songs; David Whelan takes to the keys; Edward Porter riffs on the guitar; and Callum McAdam beats the drums.

Wild Youth won their place to represent Ireland through the Late Late Show, fighting off fierce competition, including an entry from Public Image Ltd.

Lyrics of We Are One

We take our first breath and then we exhale,
Then we give it all we got until we fail,
We get back up again we take a look around,
Oh life can be a long road but at least we're not alone.

We might be different, we might be unique,
You might be a leader, I might be a freak,
And we might be different but under the falling sun,
Tonight...

We are one!
We are one!
When we rise, we rise like the sun,
When we go down, we go down,
We go down, we go down.

We take our first step and then we fall,
But still we keep on, going climbing every wall,
We keep on fighting, turning every stone,
And life can be a long road, at least we're not alone.

We might be different, we might be unique,
You might be a leader, I might be a freak,
And we might be different but under the falling sun.
Tonight...

We are one!
We are one!
When we rise, we rise like the sun,
When we go down, we go down,
We go down, we are one.

We might be different, we might be unique (we are one),
You might be a leader I might be a freak (we are one),
And we might be different but under the falling sun,
Tonight...
We are one!

We might be different, we might be unique (we are one),
You might be a leader, I might be a freak,
When we rise, we rise like a sun,
When we go down, we go down, we go down, we go...
We are one!
