Lights and Sounds, Yellowcard's fifth album, sent "Rough Landing, Holly" out as its second single in May 2006. The band built it as a group: William Ryan Key, Sean Mackin, Peter Mosely and Longineu Parsons III share the music, with Key writing the words. Holly is Holly Wood, a character they dreamed up while making the record, and whatever the title suggests, it has nothing to do with Buddy Holly's plane crash.
Neal Avron produced and recorded it with Bradley Cook, and Tom Lord-Alge mixed it: a guitar figure up front, drums pounding hard, and a chorus that goes for the sky. Marc Webb's video picks up where the band's 2004 clip for "Ocean Avenue" left off, only this time Key is running from his own demons instead of bad guys.
