about

Holiday – this was something we jammed on back in 2019 for a while that turned into our warmup/sound check at our gigs. Mike was on tour with another band for about a month and during this time the song was worked on by Rik, Russ and Shea in Shea’s garage. This is where it began to become finalized. Russell was strumming that D chord on the bass and just kind of fell into place. The keyboard lick was originally a type of break between versus at first because we didn’t have a chorus yet. The “Holiday “chorus that Rik sang was instantly one that stuck with everyone, especially when we played it live at a show in Truckee. Later on, we added the bridge and that kind of made it the final rendition we recorded.

Spirit in my blood
On the air
Waiting for my love
To take up hope again
Spirit in my blood

To take up hope again
