The Olivia Tremor Control - Holiday Surprise 1, 2, 3

Copied!

Spending my last dollar on a hotel and a restaurant
Sky looks gray but the sky inside is a mighty great one

Don't worry
Don't worry

Taking the time to waste your sunny day
Taking the time to waste your sunny day

Holiday surprise and a bright one at that
It's a holiday to last even though we spent the last year
In a dream, in a dream

Taking the time to waste your sunny day
Taking the time to waste your sunny day

Imitating you
Your image floats two feet above the ground
I sit down in my seat and wait to take off

I can't wait for the oxygen to get thin
I twist around in my seat
I'm flying like a star, a star taker
Taking light from the sky
Teasing all the people with pictures of you
Cause it's a holiday surprise
Ooo-ah

Remember the beliefs we had back then
Said we'd never change our minds
But all went thin again
All the dreams were just dirty plans

Well please, please
Don't you ever change your mind

Conflict in our heads makes us see
Without the death that we're used to
All of the problems in our way
Make it so very hard to say

Well please, please
Don't you ever change your mind

The Olivia Tremor Control was an American psychedelic rock band that emerged as a prominent force in the mid-to-late 1990s. The band was one of the original projects of The Elephant 6 Recording Company, along with The Apples in stereo and Neutral Milk Hotel. Formed in 1994 by Jeff Mangum, Bill Doss, and Will Cullen Hart, who were remnants of the group Synthetic Flying Machine, The Olivia Tremor Control quickly made a name for themselves with their unique sound and experimental approach to music.

The band released a few singles before dropping their debut double-LP, Music From the Unrealized Film Script: Dusk at Cubist Castle, which was the first of two sprawling, cinematic albums. Alongside this album, they also released an ambient instrumental album called Explanation II: Instrumental Themes and Dream Sequences. It was said that when played together, these two albums produced quadraphonic sound.

Between the release of Cubist Castle and their second album, Black Foliage: Animation Music, Volume 1, The Olivia Tremor Control experimented with two albums under the moniker The Black Swan Network. Despite facing some challenges with the naming of their albums, the band continued to push boundaries and explore new musical territories.

In 2000, The Olivia Tremor Control went on hiatus so that its members could focus on their individual
