"This song is about the flow back and forth between coming and going. As words they are separate and opposite, but without leaving one place, it is impossible to arrive at the next—in many ways they are one and the same thing. In a particularly confusing time about which direction we are headed in, it’s a bit of a reminder that really the only direction is forward." - On Planets

✨ Lyrics
From a tangle of intention,
Decision and dead branches,
I did my best, but couldn’t pull out any answers
Was living in the lurch behind this fear of going backwards
To close another chapter
 
So standing on the pier
At the shore of all I’ve done,
Nothing left except to wait
And hope the tide would come up
Isn’t it a shame how much I've left upon the dock?
In the name of moving on,
I cut the ropes and cast off
 
I know, I know
You’ve been swimming so slow
And there’s a light on the horizon 
So long, so long
Hope you make it back home
Don’t lose sight of where you started from
 
In a haze of aimless rest,
With the crutch of coming last,
Caved and craned my neck
As a year went floating past
Crawled out to the edge,
It was time to leave the raft;
Forever on a crest
On a wave that couldn’t crash
 
Had a hard time coming back,
Forgot the taste of salt
Was grasping at a chance
When I got dashed upon the rocks
I’d been casting seams across the bricks in my façade;
Cracked up, smiling at the tideline,
Washed up back where I belong
 
I know, I know
You’ve been swimming so slow
And there’s a light on the horizon
So long, so long
Hope you make it back home
Don’t lose sight of where you started from
 
I know, I know
You’ve been swimming so slow
And there’s a light on the horizon
So long, so long
Hope you make it back home
Don’t lose sight of where you started from
 
I know, I know
There’s a light on the horizon
So long, so long
Don’t lose sight of where you started from

Congratulations (Official Master)

"To Leave and Come Back is a constellation of songs about the many facets of love and its misplacement, solitude, naivete and hubris, but most importantly the absurd ways that they reflect upon and refract each other while the world spins endlessly. These songs span the course of many relationships, homes, jobs; in some ways, each song was almost written by an entirely different person than the last. However, each is an integral part of the story, and come together to form an abstract yet (hopefully) poignant picture of me, in my world." - @onplanets

✧ Lyrics
a glass of earnest to my breath
and I’d been laid down on my spine
you had my pages pinned open to the place I left off last time
I asked how long it was since I’d been on your mind
you just smiled and asked me
what’s the point in trying
if you don’t even like me

and instead of
I’ve been waiting for the sun,
eclipsed of my conviction
in anything I’ve ever really thought
might have been love
I just lied, said
darling, I don’t like anyone
it’s not your fault but don’t mistake me for a dove

cause I don’t mind
saying everything twice
if it means that my company can suffice
it gets hard to see the stars
but I could stay a while
for the night, for the night
or whatever you like
I’ll be alright, I’ll be alright
I’ll be a satellite

saying everything twice
so my company can suffice
and I can stay a while
for the night
or whatever you like
I’ll be alright

✧ Lyrics
she speaks in acronym,
been sighing at the top of her lungs
she’s so convincing when she laughs and leads it on

and I’ve been rinsing off
all the colours of a love
that I picked up when I was certain I would never come undone

and I don’t love her
but with this manufactured, sentimental buffer
she really compliments my stubborn side and silence that I keep
until I’m drunk as hell and all the strings come out,
what it’s always been about
can’t she tell

I was tied up trying to tie off loose ends
and pulling on a pretty long thread when I should’ve known better
I had to try hard not to make promises
it left me with a question on the conscience
out of luck and out of context

it was a long time coming
still not long enough
but reticent as ever, she watched me come undone
and I don’t love her
but with this manufactured, sentimental buffer
she really compliments my stubborn side and silence that I keep
until I’m drunk as hell and all the strings come out,
what it’s always been about
can’t she tell

I was tied up trying to tie off loose ends
and pulling on a pretty long thread when I should’ve known better
I had to try hard not to make promises
it left me with a question on the conscience
out of luck and out of context

I hope I’ve learnt enough and haven’t fallen off
(I don’t love her)

There comes a time in every artist’s career when the art form transcends a mere outlet for self-expression and becomes a universal gift to mankind laced with the necessary genius of its creator. For some it takes years, for 27-year-old Abby Holliday it was there from the start, her vulnerable introspection and brutal lyricism combined with mind-bending sonic sensibilities and a distinct production style that immediately fused a bond between her and her loyal fan base that grows stronger every day. Hailing from Cincinnati, OH now residing in Nashville, TN, Holliday masterfully guides listeners through moments in time extremely specific to her own life that puts words to collective experiences of the human condition, reaching into places we might not have known existed prior. 

Having begun her musical journey on guitar, Abby found her voice during her early years of college where she began quietly writing songs in the confides of her room. After a friend heard the songs and encouraged her to record them, Abby met producer Jonathan Class and set off to record her debut WHEN WE’RE FAR APART I FALL APART. It was in these studio moments where Abby’s sound began to take shape, a launchpad for her sophomore album I’M OK NO I’M NOT. While guitar naturally remains the centerpiece of many of her songs, Holliday and Class explore and experiment with a wide range of sounds from vocoded vocal stacks, to jarring synths, to lush strings and piano, to a tasteful blend of organic and synthetic rhythm sections amassing in a discography that runs the gambit of the most beautiful songs you’ve ever heard to songs that smack you in the face with unforgettable hooks and driving beats. 

With an impressive touring history opening for acts like James Bay, Michigander, Phillip Phillips, The Wldlfe, and more, Abby isn’t after a viral moment or to be a flash in the pan. Rather, she understands the importance of grassroots building on a foundation on authenticity that naturally pours over into her music and live show. The effect is already placing her front and center of the new wave of indie alternative pop/singer-songwriter music.
