Holiday (lyrics by @pearlmanhattan)
A day where the sun won’t show
Only stop signs when you wanna go
Gimme a break
Let’s take a holiday
Shoelace broke, coffee spilt
Sidewalk covered in silt
Take a break
It’s time for a holiday
I got the bags packed in the car
We can drive away real far
No looking back
Well set a track to a better day
Let’s go on a holiday
Hey let’s get away
Let’s go on a holiday
Hey let’s get away
Don’t let the bad times get you down
No need to hang around
I need a break
Let’s take a holiday
I got the bags packed in the car
We can drive away real far
No looking back
Well set a track to a better day
Let’s go on a holiday
Hey let’s get away
Let’s go on a holiday
Hey let’s get away
Come with me, let’s have fun
Take my hand and we will run
Away
Run away

These video collaborations look like great fun, and this tune is a real ray of sunshine. I'm with @timfatchen I spent half the time thinking about all the technical challenges instead of listening to the song!
@scubed Mar 2022
Love it! The song sounds great - super vocals and backing instruments. The video is delightful - such fun to see you all. Congratulations!
@timfatchen Mar 2022
I need to stop watching the video because the technicalities of getting that right keep overshadowing the song which is a sweetie, with a lovely hopeful vocal and excellent full-bodied backing. Kudos to you all!
@audrey Mar 2022
This is great! A happy lyric longing for an escape set to a great melody and some tight musical accompaniment. Toe-tapping good stuff! Especially like the vocal and how the electric piano helps keep the mood so light and positive. Made me want to sing along. So good that I had to listen twice.
@wobbiewobbit Mar 2022
oh i thought i had commented on this, listened a couple of times yesterday, such a sunny song so much to love, the organ is delicious, pearl's performance is great, all the music is so tight and i love the opening gag :)
@paulh1237 Mar 2022
Love that electric piano sound, gives that holiday vibe for sure. Such a happy number, couldn't help but bop along.
@bachelorb Feb 2022
The stretching for button pushing was awesome!! Loved the tremolo guitar. Great melody and upbeat tune. Loved it!!
@jamkar Feb 2022
Love the groove, the melody, and seeing everyone!
@elesimo Feb 2022
Oh, wow! This is such an upbeat song, so beautiful and well produced! What an amazing collab!
@andygetch Feb 2022
This is all kinds of sweet, like a hit on 70's radio. Well done all with the guitar, bass, piano, and vocals!
@sorby69 Feb 2022
Wonderful stuff guys & gals. Loved the drummer skit at the beginning. The whole song grooves along nicely - a real toe-tapper. Well done all!
@tunecat Feb 2022
I’ve just see. This snd so happy . Guys you were great and I’m sorry it took me so long but glad the final take was used not the one in my sheep onesie - in which I didn’t really do the ding justice . Sounds great, thanks gif the cool chords snd tight rhythm guitar to start us off and then the rest of the playing and singing is bang on. The drum track ‘business’ cracked me up. Next time I’ll set up my bsckdrop d add no actually look at the camera. Brilliant job everyone but especially Dutch widow for being so wonderfully patient. Be putting it together
@zecoop Feb 2022
AWESOME song... Wonderful energy, excellent positive message that I totally am in for. Fantastic playing/singing by everyone. i enjoyed this song completely. Fun fun fun to see you all doing your things! The intro was a crack up... Alesis SR-16 for the win, though! I used mine this year too... :)
Cheers to you all!!
@lowhum Feb 2022

@vomvorton Feb 2022
