about

Irish Indie-rock outfit The Burma are back with a new single, ‘Holiday’, set to release on the 8th of September 2023 via The Burma Music Group. Having received support from The Rolling Stone India, CLASH Magazine, NOTION Magazine, Hot Press, Atwood Magazine, and Medium.com/Pop Off, the 3 piece band has also earned spins on RTÉ 2FM with Dan Hegarty as well as RTÉ Radio 1. The single comes off of their highly anticipated album, ‘Crazy Dreams & Cruel Realities’, which is set to release on
the 6th of October 2023.

‘Holiday’ is a tranquil, feel-good track with terrific story-telling. The vocals are subtle and soft, befitting of the relaxed, laid-back vibe of the song.

lyrics

I know you don’t feel pretty tonight
Under siege of Atlantic January skies
And now another year starts slipping away from you
Just caught the last one
Another day spent sat at the windowsill

You need a holiday
Forget your cares
With your sun kissed heart and your beach blonde hair
And I know the day will come when you outrun your shadow

You can’t believe that knock at the door
Well tomorrow has come and he’s looking for more from you
You drag yourself up out of your lonely bed
To make an offer
But it’s all too late in the afternoon

You need a holiday
Forget your cares
With your sun kissed heart and your beach blonde hair
And I know the day will come when you outrun your shadow

Friday night the rainy square
And your pisshead friends who are waiting there for you
The world can hide when you feel low
But they know
Only they know

You need a holiday
Forget your cares
With your sun kissed heart and your beach blonde hair
And I know the day will come when you outrun your shadow

Friday night the rainy square
And your pisshead friends who are waiting there for you
The crippled smile when you feel low
But they know
Only they know
