1) Holiday (www.twee.net/bands/holiday.html) was an indie/pop band active between 1992 and 1997, featuring Josh Gennet (guitar/vocals), Andrew Park (bass/vocals), and Matt Snow (guitar).
The group - initially dubbed Wimp Rocket - formed on the campus of Yale University in late 1992. They self-released their debut cassette "The Big Pickle" in 1993 before adding drummer Paul Moyano and travelling to Chicago to record their official debut EP, the Dave Trumfio-produced "My Roommate Joe". Drummer Calvin Chin replaced Moyano for the follow-up single, "Permission Slip," and after issuing "Prostitutes in Town" in the fall of 1994, Holiday signed with March Records to issue their self-titled debut album in February. The record’s airy, shimmering sound made it a favorite of underground pop aficionados, and its follow-up, 1996’s Ready, Steady, Go!, was also a cult hit. Drummer J. Niimi replaced Chin for 1997’s Cafe Reggio; by the time of its release, however, Holiday was already a thing of the past. The group disbanded following their appearance at the New York Popfest that January. Gennet went on to record as the Singletons.
2) Holiday (www.myspace.com/holiday1982) is an electronic/electro/punk band active since 2000, from St. Petersburg, Florida, featuring Ricky Seelbach (keyboards/vocals).
3) Holiday (www.myspace.com/imonholiday) is an rock/punk/pop band hailing from Vancouver, British Columbia. They are currently unsigned, but were named "best local band" in the Georgia Straight newspaper and won The FOX 99.3's Vancouver Seeds contest.
4) Holiday is a four-piece pop/rock band from Minneapolis, MN, transplanted from Fargo, ND. The band formed in 2003. Originally the lineup consisted of Nick Emmel (vocals), Mike Olson (Bass, vocals), Steve Osvold (guitar, vocals) and Josh Cushing (drums).
The band released one CD independently with this lineup called "Living With The Fallout" in 2004. Cushing was replaced by drummer John "Kapps" Kapla early in the development of the band. The lineup with Kapla on drums continued through another record, "Fashionably Late," released in fall 2005.
Osvold left the band and was replaced by Zack Carroll (This World Fair) before their self-titled EP was recorded. Olson parted ways with Holiday just after the recording, replaced by David Leduc (Toast).
Carroll left Holiday shortly after to join This World Fair on a tour of the west coast and for a recording session from which would be born "Don't Make Me Wait," a song featured in the Dreamworks film Disturbia.
Dave Swift, or just Swift to his friends, replaced Carroll. Holiday announced their breakup in the fall of 2007 with the lineup of Emmel, Kapla, Leduc and Swift.
The band cites influences ranging from Weezer Oasis and Fountains of Wayne to The Beatles and Guster.
5. A post-hardcore band from Southern New Jersey. Members included David Costil (Vocals), Kyle Cook (Guitar/Vocals), Ryan Johnson (Guitar/Vocals), Chris Reed (Bass) and Lou Caltabiano (Drums). Other members included Kevin Smith (Drums) and Steve Perrong (Vocals).
6. Holiday is a rock band from London, England.
7. A melodic punk band from the North West of England, featuring current and former members of The Autonomads, Grover, The Great St. Louis, and Burn All Flags amongst others. They have a self-titled 7" EP available here and apparently write "happy songs about unhappy things".
Something About You
Holiday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't stay that long
Let's go!
I've been doing wrong for so long
That it feels so right to me
But you're just not right for me
But it's something 'bout how you move on that floor
Had to keep you in my world
You may not be me material (no, no, no)
But I don't care (I don't care)
Girl your body and your face is so incredible
Can't seem to get you out my head
Just can't stop thinkin about ya
Can't stop thinkin about ya
I just can't stop thinkin about ya
And my girl's layin in my bed
I know it sounds crazy
But it's so real
It's so real
I gotta see you one last time, baby
My girl gon kill me but that's fine, baby baby
When I'm alone with you
Feels like you're the one
I'm heaven
Feels like heaven
You may not be me material (no, no, no)
But I don't care (I don't care)
Girl your body and your face is so incredible
Can't seem to get you out my head
Just can't stop thinkin about ya
Can't stop thinkin about ya
I just can't stop thinkin about ya
And my girl's layin in my bed
I know it sounds crazy
But it's so real
It's so real
If time stood still
I'd stay here with you forever
But I gotta go
Back to reality
'Cause my ladies out there waitin up for me
Just can't stop thinkin' about ya
Can't stop thinkin about ya
I just can't stop thinkin about ya
And my girl's layin in my bed
I know it sounds crazy
But it's so real
It's so real

As the new Mexican boy at the school in VA, I didn't speak any English, but there was this beautiful girl in my math class who took her time to teach me by sharing some music, including this song. After about 2 months of hanging out on a daily basis, we started dating and we were almost inseparable. One day while she was visiting her grandma in Vermont, some drunk driver crashed into her and she lost her life, along with her dad 😔 . She was the sweetest person you could ever meet. I miss her so much 😭 . I listen to this song imagining her by my side.
