One Big Holiday Lyrics
wakin' up, feelin' good and limber
when the telephone, it ring
was a bad man from california
tellin' of a stone he'd bring
and of better days
from this town, we'd escape
if we holler loud and make our way
we'd all live one big holiday
so we listened and up the river
and recorded all the sounds
was some shakin' and some record playin'
all the leather kids were loud
when the telephone, it ring
was a bad man from california
tellin' of a stone he'd bring
and of better days
from this town, we'd escape
if we holler loud and make our way
we'd all live one big holiday
so we listened and up the river
and recorded all the sounds
was some shakin' and some record playin'
all the leather kids were loud

Good stuff.
Good stuff... X 2 !
its rare you find a band that is so gentle and soft lyrically combined with so powerful instruments.. i love this song. It feels like home
"was a bad man from california tellin' of a stone he'd bring and of better days from this town, we'd escape if we holler loud & make our way we'd all live one big holiday"
I interpret this to mean a record producer is promising them big money, or "stone" and better days for "hollering and making our way" recording an album, and one big holiday to mean they'd be rich blah blah blah.
My 2 cents anyways but I'm probably off.
the way i've always taken it as pretty much as an epic. he gets this mysterious call giving him some insider information into somehting really special that he needs to know about, and thus begins the rock journey. somethin that'll take em far beyond their wildest dreams. so they find this music, stumble upon it almost and get taken away in it.
the wonderful thing is though, if you look at it, the song doesn't finish itself with the words. it ends halfway through the verse. "all the leather kids were loud...." and then the song almost restarts and then explodes. it's like "we found it....and woah!" it explodes right in front of em. in a way, it's almost the bands theme song, i think, and it could be taken as an anthem, or as a tale of the recording of the album, but either way it's an awesome story.
very epic.
i am haunted by this song
i love the begining of the song.
the last half of the song sounds like an escape, like driving off to the horizon and never coming back
what a beautiful song.. the begininng pulls u in and builds up so u wanna hear more, then it speeds up nd goes a little crazy, then it calms down to a kinda chill song.. kinda like a roller coaster :)
amazing
