Get Your "Holidays" Off to a Good Start with This Beautiful Song and Video by The Lonely Wild

Check out the gorgeous song with the killer video, available now!

Just in time to get in your head before the holiday season, The Lonely Wild have released the new video for "Holidays" featuring the most perfect chorus ever for dealing with your family: "Just don't freak out." The gorgeous country-inflected track is absolutely gorgeous and heart-wrenching too. Check it out above.

The band commented on the video, its concept, and more:

My wife, Michelle, and I came up with the concept for the “Holidays” video and we worked back and forth on the script while I was on tour in the spring. We wanted to capture the dualism of the inner-self and outer-self that people portray to others in a simple, but visually-striking way. In the end, these lines blur and ultimately burst when the holiday pressures finally reach the boiling point.

Our good friend John Lange directed the video and brought this vision to life. Because we were able to involve so many of our friends and family, this is probably the most personal video we’ve done to date; not to mention the fact that we got to transform our apartment into a winter wonderland in the middle of September. We may look cozy and bundled up in the video, but believe me, we were hot and sweaty shooting in the never-ending Angeleno summer.
