12 July 2026 – Vacations See Family Reflections In ‘I See Myself In You’

Australian indie favourites <a href="/tags/vacations">Vacations</a> release ‘I See Myself In You’, the second single from forthcoming album ‘Pursuit of Anything’, due in October. Written after a conversation between frontman Campbell Burns and his parents in Sydney, the track reflects on ageing, family and the surprising moment when we begin recognising our own habits, expressions and fears in the people who raised us.

This discovery can be touching, unsettling or particularly alarming when it involves the exact same sneeze. Vacations approach the subject with melodic warmth and the thoughtful observational writing that has become central to their sound. The track carries nostalgia without becoming trapped inside it, using generational parallels as a way to consider change rather than avoid it.

Its arrival also comes ahead of the band’s first Australian tour in two years, adding a homecoming element to the release. That context makes the song feel especially appropriate: a globally travelled band returning to familiar places while examining how identity remains connected to family and origin. ‘I See Myself In You’ is gentle, reflective and quietly expansive, capturing the strange comfort of discovering that growing older does not necessarily mean moving further away from where you began.
