On August 4, 2009 "The Things We've Grown to Love" was released on Linc Star Records (Warner Brothers), and paved a small stepping stone for the band. With their first full length under their belt, Rolling Stone named them 1 of 6 bands to keep a close eye on. The album received a majority of good reviews, and pushed All the Day Holiday into the busy commotion of bands needed to see.
One week before Christmas 2009, All the Day Holiday released a cover of "Christmas Time is Here" which shown light on the growth the band has made since the release of their first full length record. With a step in the direction of soul, shoegaze, and rock and roll at the roots, this is a band worth a corner on your iPod.
All the Day Holiday is Daniel Simmons (guitar and vocals), Mark Ventura (drums and percussion), David Roller (bass and keys), and Nathan Frisch (guitar)

Cities
All The Day Holiday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Meanings rooted in the trees,
pulsing through the branches,
dispersing through the leaves.
It's a beauty that will surely bring you to your knees.
From city to city it runs, it sprints, it leaps
through everything, through everything.
colours paint the sky. It's such a well done sky.
There is so much more than you think.
Meanings rooted in the trees,
pulsing through the branches,
dispersing through the leaves.
It's a beauty that will surely bring you to your knees.
But I'm weak and you're so strong
Let's not forget that I am weak and you are strong,
so strong. Let's not forget.
Yeah it's from city to city.
It runs, it springs, it leaps through everything,
through everything, through everything.
The song "Cities" by All The Day Holiday is a beautiful composition about the interconnectedness of nature and the world that surrounds us. The lyrics speak about how there is so much more to the world than what meets the eye, and how there are meanings and beauty everywhere that we often fail to notice. The song refers to these meanings as being rooted in the trees, pulsing through the branches, and dispersing through the leaves. The imagery of the trees is symbolic of how nature is interwoven into our lives and how everything is interconnected.
The song then talks about how this beauty runs, sprints, and leaps through everything in the world, from city to city. The colors paint the sky with reds, yellows, blues, and greens, making it a beautiful and well-done sky. The message behind this verse is that there is beauty and meaning to be found everywhere, even in the busiest and most crowded cities. It reminds us that we should take the time to appreciate the world and the beauty that surrounds us, even when we are caught up in the whirlwind of our daily lives.
The final verse of the song acknowledges the fact that the singer is weak while the world is strong. It is a reminder not to forget that we are all vulnerable in some way, and that we need to rely on each other and help each other to get through life. The song is a beautiful tribute to the power of nature and the interconnectedness of the world, and it encourages us to take a moment to appreciate the beauty all around us.
