Story behind the song
a song written for Sandra to sing and for the CBC Valentines challenge.
Lyrics
Mr. Holiday I’m suffocating from your expectations He said shortly before he left His beautiful daughter, his faithful wife The parting words left her feeling bereft Visits are every other weekend She felt so alone, torn apart Her eyes clearly told - that she thought it was her fault What made her father want to break her heart The days turned to weeks, it was always the same Rarely he took her anywhere Too busy to visit, to busy to call She felt so abandoned, like he didn’t care I’m overbooked, I’m out of town, too many things are on my mind He picked another sentence from his list of excuses He smiled and said, maybe next week we can find the time To do whatever you might choose Goodbye mr. Holiday – I appreciate your effort Trying to make me whole – and raise me up Goodbye mr. Holiday – I can’t say I miss you quite enough I’m not sorry, I only have to say There will be no chocolate heart for you on Valentines Day Alone in her room she played music Wrote her heart in her secret diary Daydreamed away, that her daddy was home Her hopes and wishes were her sobriety Birthdays they came, not even a card No one there on Fathers day at school Her mother defined the space in her life But she knew different, she was no ones fool (She said) I’m overbooked, I’m out of town, too many things are on my mind She picked another sentence from her fathers excuses She smiled and said, surely next week we can find the time To do whatever you might choose Goodbye Mr. Holiday..

Quite the contradiction between the rather light hearted arrangement and instrumentation and the serious lyrics. Well done mix and production with good vocals. Nice one Lasse.

Pro-sounding production, great sound! Very soulful and emotional guitar playing from Finn. I like the fusion of styling that I hear in this song - elements of rock and pop with an underlying funkiness.
Pro sound quality and performances. Two thumbs up!

Kudos all the way around! Sounds like it's just on the edge of R&B...The vocals are real nice and well performed. Finns playing and guitar tone are top shelf as always. Great tight bass and the organ sounds really fine. First class mix and arrangement!
