Next Exit 03:21 video
lyrics

I’ll give this one more try Before I take the next exit Off the highway Into a different life I don’t know how You can tell me otherwise When I can’t tell left from right Trouble and strife Can I trust what I know? I know nothing Maybe it’s time to let go Drift and fall apart Take me back to the start Or we can just let go Surprised to be here Play life on repeat Stay safe within routine Won’t accept defeat, oh no I don’t know how You convince yourself So tragic, don’t say anymore You lost count, never kept score Can I trust what I know? I know nothing Maybe it’s time to let go Drift and fall apart Take me back to the start Or we could just let go Can I trust what I know? I know nothing Maybe it’s time to let go Drift and fall apart Take me back to the start Or we could just let go

Slow Motion 03:34
lyrics

Head empty, no thoughts Tragedy played out in slow motion Complicate the present Turn a mess into a sprawl Enter the void and float above it all Rest your head on my shoulder Rest your head on my shoulder If I lean into you, will you take a hold of me? If I lean into you, will you take a hold? I can’t see no other way out of this Watch my step, hit-or-miss I can’t see no other way out of this Catch my breath, hit or miss Pull focus, change director Rearrange the mantra, a fear of the unknown This script, rehearsed and so pedestrian Memories in transit That haven’t even happened yet Rest your head on my shoulder Rest your head on my shoulder If I lean into you, will you take a hold of me? If I lean into you, will you take a hold? I can’t see no other way out of this Watch my step, hit-or-miss I can’t see no other way out of this Catch my breath, hit-or-miss If I lean into you If I lean into you If I lean into you If I lean into you

Go slow There’s no place like home You know This is how it goes But we’re changing into something I don’t know Change course Sail away from your arms It’s not safe here anymore We aren’t the same I can’t choose to remain here anymore Tear it down To start again Stumble through this life Only to play pretend Walking on a tight rope I’ll keep my thoughts close Change course Sail away from your arms It’s not safe here anymore We aren’t the same I can’t choose to remain here anymore Change course Sail away from your arms It’s not safe here anymore We aren’t the same I can’t choose to remain here anymore

Over You 02:26 video
lyrics

Hit me again, it’s a rerun Play round two, just for fun String me up, until I’m undone These thoughts they weigh a tonne What’s the deal? What’s the use? Playing by the rules This weight on my shoulders More power to you If it takes two Can we call it a truce? Didn’t you know? I’m so obsessed over you I’m so obsessed over you I’m so obsessed Swing like a pendulum Every breath with you is adrenaline Practice an excuse Only to miss my cue What’s the deal? What’s the use? Playing by the rules This weight on my shoulders More power to you If it takes two Can we call it a truce? Didn’t you know? I’m so obsessed over you I’m so obsessed over you I’m so obsessed Rehearse your ritual Act out what’s good for you Preach your thoughts into practice Only thing that’s true

Midwest 04:08 video
lyrics

I heard your voice down the wire From a hotel room in Colorado We talked for hours Exchanged our lives From different points in time And as I drove across the midwest I rehearsed our memories in the rearview Looking forward to the next time I could be close to you We’re starting at the finish line Turn away, say otherwise You’re always on my mind ‘Cause I miss you As I don’t want you to go Thinking back about our home Among the gumtrees What’s it like for you? How’s your day? I don’t mean to be pedantic I’m hopeless, but maybe romantic I can’t escape the feeling That the distance is growing We’re starting at the finish line Turn away, say otherwise You’re always on my mind ‘Cause I miss you As I don’t want you to go We’re starting at the finish line Turn away, say otherwise You’re always on my mind ‘Cause I miss you And I don’t want you to go

Close Quarters 03:40
lyrics

On the run from everyone There’s nothing left to say Check twice over my shoulder And pray this all fades away Stumbling forward Don’t try to move or make a sound This push and pull is all I know now All I long for Is myself All that you want Is someone else Burn everything down Burn everything Guard down, say yes, bruised up My thoughts ring loud What’s the deal? What’s the use? Playing by the rules This weight on my shoulders More power to you If it takes two Can we call it a truce? Didn’t you know? When you say no Try to hold myself like a child If I keep the distance it’ll remain There’s nothing left here more to gain All I long for Is myself All that you want Is someone else Burn everything down Burn everything All I long for Is myself All that you want Is someone else Burn everything down Burn everything

Off Season 03:04
lyrics
buy track
For a moment in time We crossed each other’s paths Two lost souls intertwined For reasons I don’t know why Off-season, a moments rest Call it off, for the best No direction, I might be wrong Found a reason to move on I might be wrong Thank you for your time I’ll see you in the next life This isn’t a goodbye This isn’t goodbye Watch my options disappear Find new life away from here Trying my best to swim Despite all of my fears Shaking hand with a smile A stranger turned into a friend How long till it comes to an end? Until I start over again I start over again Thank you for your time See you in the next life This isn’t a goodbye This isn’t goodbye This isn’t a goodbye This isn’t goodbye This isn’t a goodbye This isn’t goodbye

Terms & Conditions 04:04 video

Two years, too late Let you down Call it fate I’m a child learning How to walk again How could, you know? Call your bluff Let it go I was playing charades While the house was on fire Tenderness and patience My spirit wanes From your, off-guard, distractions It’s a quiet oblivion Crushing into violence I’ll play Hide and seek On your terms Despite my condition I can’t Think straight Yet I have 20/20 vision Split down the middle You’re a stranger Crashing into my life If we spent the time Could we make it right I can’t win, but I can lose Or learn how to live with you No time to pretend You know what’s true Tenderness and patience My spirit wanes From your, off-guard, distractions It’s a quiet oblivion Crushing into violence I’ll play Hide and seek On your terms Despite my condition I can’t Think straight Yet I have 20/20 vision

Lost in Translation 02:56
lyrics

Hello stranger For a minute there We got lost in translation Let’s start over Before we break down Into this confrontation If it all goes up in flames What will be left of us? Ashes to ashes Dust to dust So long, goodbye This life, you and I Even when you’re on the right track And you still fuck it up If there is a god I’m sure they’ll forgive us Know that I love you You’ll always be enough Know that we love you You’ve always been enough

about

“Home” is not always a literal place. Sometimes, “home” represents inner peace and simply learning to hold space for yourself. This is where Vacations lead singer and guitarist Campbell Burns has arrived as he and bandmates Jake Johnson, Nate Delizzotti, and Joseph Van Lier release their third LP, No Place Like Home.

Following 2020’s Forever In Bloom LP, No Place Like Home finds the Newcastle DIY outfit expanding their trademark melodic indie rock/pop to new sonic horizons. Produced by Campbell and John Velasquez (Zella Day, Broods), it comprises 10 shimmering tracks brimming with indie-pop hooks and just a touch of bittersweet sensitivity. “I had this loose concept of No Place Like Home being an Americana-influenced album,” Campbell says of the album’s sonic inspirations. “I wanted to incorporate more pianos, acoustic guitars, Nashville tuning, and country-inspired lap steel, but then also bringing in drum machines and synths and finding a mix between the two.”

The new project follows an intense period of transformation for Campbell, who was forced to cancel all touring commitments due to COVID restrictions and subsequently came down with a severe bout of writer’s block. After seeking therapy, he was eventually diagnosed with Pure OCD (or “Pure O”), a subtype of Obsessive Compulsive Disorder marked by intrusive, unwanted, and uncontrollable thoughts. “Pure OCD is more mental compulsions rather than physical compulsions,” Campbell explains. “If I have an intrusive thought, I'm giving that thought belief and power over myself.”

“I began to hit a wall, and then another wall,” Campbell elaborates of this time. “I found it extremely difficult to write anything for years. I didn’t know what Vacations’ voice was anymore, or even my own in a day-to-day sense. I had to find a way to fall back in love with music and so much else in my life, or I knew I would simply cease to exist.”

As the world began to open up, so did Campbell’s vibrant creative spirit. Vacations hit the road for the first time in two years, selling out The Fonda in LA and playing Austin City Limits Festival in Austin, experiences that partially inform No Place Like Home, which also engages in nuanced discussions around mental health, personal growth, and sexuality.
