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)

The Things We've Grown To Love
All The Day Holiday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
there is no solid ground.
Don't think to turn around,
face your fear of being found.
You're walking past the stars,
you don't know where you are.
This road is so bizarre, you've gone so very...
On your own in the wild, but you said happiness
is only real when it's shared.
You're pushing through the clouds,
there is no solid ground.
Don't think to turn around,
face your fear of being found.
You're walking past the stars,
you don't know where you are.
This road is so bizarre,
you've gone so very far,
you want to turn away you just can't take the same.
You've got to make a change,
this life has too much blame.
Throw out our old plans, live in deserted lands.
We'll make a new claim, this life has too much to...
Blame for your troubles and
you're loving living on your own in the wild
but you said happiness is only real when it's shared.
I want to change lives and take time to show
the world that we are more than a system.
We have a reason for being here.
Still the days are flying by.
God knows time won't let go.
We're holding on to things we've grown to love.
We won't, we don't want to let go.
I want to change lives and take time to show
the world that we are more than a system.
We have a reason.
