"Sentimental and Monday" is a song by Australian indie rock group Holy Holy, released on 10 July 2015 as the third and final single from their debut studio album When the Storms Would Come.[1]
The song is inspired by winter in Sweden, where Tim Carroll spent 2011.[1] The group said the song is "inspired by the onset of winter and the feeling of the long, dark season approaching"."[2]
The song was certified gold in Australia in 2021.
Reception
[edit]Samantha Armatys from How Land Echoes said "It is contemplative and composed while still providing the psychedelic solos and detailed layers that make up the pair's signature sound."[1]
Matt Dillion from Turntable Kitchen said "'Sentimental and Monday' is a melancholic tale of leaving things behind – although vocalist Timothy Carroll's voice helps soften the blow. Rustic and pastoral, it feels like a worn, tweed, three button vest with each note sung, and carries a sense of comfort and home with it throughout the song."[3]
