about

This collaborative project between two of Thomas Calder’s personal monikers (Yes, you’re reading that correctly) is as wild and wonderful as you might expect.

“The Holiday You Always Wanted” is 3:37 of pure creativity. An explosive, soaring meditation on the difficulties of staying in the present, cultivating love while longing for escape and appreciating the here and now. This new offering perfectly encapsulates the overarching themes of contrast and contradiction that lie at the core of this new project.

Both sonically and lyrically, “The Holiday You Always Wanted” dances from light to dark, loud to quiet and intimate to expansive, with a confidence and swagger that further demonstrates the unique and boundless scope of Thomas’s Songwriting.

With flavours of musical theatre, rock, folk, and pop, the many complex, moving parts of the music blend perfectly together to form a musical medley genre entirely its own.

Over the course of his songwriting career, Thomas Calder has continued to challenge, surprise, excite and entice with each new song and musical direction, yet “The Holiday You Always Wanted” is, somehow, unlike anything that’s come before it.

Listen to “The Holiday You Always Wanted” now, and follow/subscribe to Daggy Man/Tom Calder to stay up-to-date with all announcements regarding his/their new collaborative album, due out in 2022.

lyrics

I hold my head up like an exclamation everyday
And I stand behind all of those explanations that I gave
Let’s make a movie, and change the channel on our days.


Come sit a while, let’s push the rib of all these sick complaints
We’ll try and laugh enough to shake the hand of hope again
I’ve missed you gently, In ways I’m glad I can’t explain

This dream, this lingering madness
Focus on the filament the good between badness
(JUST STAY PRESENT)

That bruise, this bat and your sadness
Dust beneath the firmament a speck upon the mattress
(JUST STAY PRESENT )

I’m doing well, I’m here to learn,I take a...

I hold my shoulders like the worst has already begun
And you walk around with heavy gate like you’re the only one
Let’s crack a knuckle, and speak of love like it’s a run.

Let’s take a vacation, the one we never had.
How do you feel when, you're on vacation?
Like a different person.

I Hang my hope
On the promise
Of today.

(Presently at present I’m,
I’m here in present time.)

The tired pupil blanketed beneath the heavy lid
Receives the grace of space, to wit; is lifted up again
I see you rightly, and place my hand upon your skin.
