day 172: Holiday

Holiday, by Vampire Weekend.

Happy Summer, people.

This song is one of my favorite singalongs in the car, but also I remember hearing it in a Bed, Bath, and Beyond when we were still kinda new to listening to Vampire Weekend, and the song wasn’t that old, and it was kinda like, is this pop music now? It was confusing.

Come for the first day of summer; stay to hear me mess up my favorite line, while also doing some odd things to the melody because, uh, this song is like in a key I love, but an octave high for me, I think?

The rhythmic knocking is my index finger smashing into the edge of the noise hole or whatever it’s called on my guitar and once it happens four times in a row, you’re kinda pot committed on this sort of thing, so I did my best to keep it up.
