"Roman Holiday" turns up on Skinty Fia, the 2022 album from Fontaines D.C., and it's the band at their most wistful: a woozy, drifting tune that sounds like a daydream you can't quite shake. Grian Chatten wrote the words, and the band built the music together. Carlos O'Connell's 12-string guitar chimes through the haze, Conor Deegan III adds piano, backing vocals and a lonesome whistle, and Dan Carey, who produced and mixed it, lets the whole thing blur softly at the edges.
