about

The first single from the new record, "When the Fog Rolls In" (may20.2022). A pandemic inspired satirical song about 2 friends going on vacation together and being forced into isolation. An apocalypse with a 50s dreamy beach vibe.

lyrics

VERSE 1

2 FRIENDS
ON A WINTER’S GETAWAY
TO A TROPICAL ISLAND AWAY FROM THE CROWD
TO THEIR SURPRISE
THERE WAS ONLY ONE VACANT ROOM
SO THEY SPLIT UP IN HOTELS ACROSS THE LAGOON
THE BEACH WAS FULL
AND THE RESTAURANTS WERE TOO
THERE WAS NOWHERE TO GO BUT STAY IN THE ROOM
THROUGH THE GLASS
A PERFECT DAY PLAYED OUT
SLIPPING ROOM SERVICE DRINKS AWAY FROM THE CROWD

CHORUS 1

ON A HOLIDAY
WHILE THE REAL WORLD IS PUT ON HOLD MAKING LASTING MEMORIES
IN A NEW WAY

VERSE 2

AND THE DAY WORE ON
PHOTOS IN MIRROR
BATHROOM SUIT SHOTS FOR THE FRIENDS NOT HERE
ANOTHER ROUND
OF RUM IN COCNUTS
DELIVERED TO THE ROOM IF YOU MAKE ENOUGH FUSS
AND THEN THE LOAD OF SAND
PAID WITH TRAVEL’S CHEQUES
SPREAD ACROSS THE CARPET WITHOUT SECOND GUESS
IT WAS A PERFECT SHOT
OF A SIMULATED SCENE
THEN THEY TURNED ON THE SPRINKLERS FOR THE FINAL TOUCHING

CHORUS 2

ON A HOLIDAY
WHILE THE REAL WORLD IS PUT ON HOLD MAKING LASTING MEMORIES
IN A NEW WAY
ON A DESERTED BEACH IN THE SUN
FREE TO SHARE IT, ALL ALONE
WITH NO ONE

VERSE 3

THE WATER ROSE
AND TURNED INTO A SWELL
ROLLING THROUGH THE HALLS OF THE BEACH HOTEL
THE WAVE SWEPT UP
BOTH SEPARATED FRIENDS
AND CARRIED THEM OFF TO THE OCEAN’S END
AND IT DROPPED THEM THERE
ON A EMPTY ISLAND
WITH NO ONE TO WITNESS THE EVENTS AT HAND
THE FOOD WAS SCARCE
TIMES GOT DESPERATE QUICK
AND THE FRIEND WAS REMEMBERED BY THE BATHING SUIT PIC

CHORUS 3

ON A HOLIDAY
WHILE THE REAL WORLD IS PUT ON HOLD MAKING LASTING MEMORIES
IN A NEW WAY
ON A DESERTED BEACH IN THE SUN
FREE TO SHARE IT, ALL ALONE
WITH NO ONE
