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)

Invisible
All The Day Holiday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You were the only one, the only one that I could see
On a cloudy day light still made it's way
You were shining bright leading me on through the night
That day the snow was falling
The people were calling
calling the cabs to take them to their destination
People to see and places to go
Planes above above and trains below
It was all invisible to me
You were the only one, the only one that I could see
On a cloudy day light still made it's way
You were shining bright leading me on through the night
That day the buildings, they stood tall
The snow continues to fall surrounded by lights
that shine oh so bright
I never thought I feel the way I do about you
The river flows beneath the bridge we stand
Nothing can separate the hold on our hands
Oh on our hands
It was all invisible to me
You were the only one, the only one that I could see
The lyrics of All The Day Holiday's song Invisible describe a strong connection between the singer and the person they love. Despite all the distractions and noise around them, the focus remains on the person they are with. The song starts by saying that everything else was invisible to the singer; they were able to see only the person they love. The person shines bright, even on a cloudy day, leading the singer through the night. The imagery used in the song further emphasizes how the world exists as background noise to the couple's love. The snow continues to fall, people continue to move, but none of it matters as long as they are with each other.
As the song progresses, the singer confesses their feelings and says they never thought they would feel this way about the person they are with. They stand on a bridge, holding hands, and feel that nothing can break the connection they share. The song ends in a similar fashion, with the singer reiterating that throughout it all, the only thing they could see was the person they love.
