Incredible Vacation is an indie rock band formed in 2011 in the quiet town of Asheville, North Carolina.

Title:
“Postcards from Nowhere”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] Caught a ride on the [D] midnight train,
[Em] Didn’t know where I was [C] heading,
[G] Just a suitcase, a [D] guitar, and a [Em] dream
[C] The world at my feet, [G] no more dreading.
(Chorus)
[D] Postcards from Nowhere,
[Em] Tales of the [C] unknown,
[G] We’re on an incredible [D] vacation,
[Em] In the end, wherever we [C] roam.
(Verse 2)
[G] Bright city lights or [D] country lanes,
[Em] It’s all an enticing [C] picture,
[G] Making music under the [D] moonlight,
[Em] Living life, no [C] strictures.
(Chorus)
[D] Postcards from Nowhere,
[Em] Stories yet [C] untold,
[G] We’re on an incredible [D] vacation,
[Em] This journey will never [C] grow old.
(Bridge)
[G] We’ll sing our song, [Em] bold and free,
[C] On this incredible [G] vacation,
[D] The world’s our stage, [Em] come join the spree,
[C] In the heart of each [D] destination.
(Outro)
[G] So here’s to this incredible [D] vacation,
[Em] As we chase the sun and [C] the sensation,
[G] Postcards from Nowhere,
[D] Our journey, our [Em] declaration, [C] our destination.
Favorite Fan Testimonial:
My name is Sarah and I’ve been a fan of Incredible Vacation since their early days. What I love about them is their genuine, down-to-earth sound. Their music is like a breath of fresh air in a world filled with highly processed and overproduced music. “Postcards from Nowhere” resonates with me on a deeper level as I too, love the thrill of traveling and experiencing new cultures. They’re my favorite band because their music feels so real and relatable. It’s like they’re not just singing songs, but sharing their own personal stories and experiences. I can’t wait to see where their musical journey takes them next!
