New Band: The National Parks
| February 3, 2017 |
Guess what! I discovered a new band, and they’re awesome. I can’t believe no other band has ever been called The National Parks because, well, the name itself implies epic music. Then, add in a guitar, violin, and a sound that reminds me of the Lumineers and Mumford & Sons, and you’ve got me dancing in my seat. I can’t wait to drive with this music playing, or imagine the dramatic violin at 2:40 in “Monsters of the North” playing as a I reach the summit of a mountain.
They released their first album in September 2013, so I’m not sure how they slipped by me for so long, but Spotify finally brought them onto my radar! It’s my duty to now bring them onto yours. At least I feel like it’s my duty.
My Favorite Lyrics (Currently)
In the northwest
I’ve seen crazy things
Out in the forest
I’ve seen monsters chasing dreams
And that’s where I saw me
I was chasing too…you
Cause I wanna be like the wind
I wanna run with you
Aaah-ooh
We can be wolves
Howlin at the great white moon
I wanna be by your side when we light up the sky for the world to see
Run, run, run, run, run… with me
I’ve got my stories
You’ve got your lullabies
You don’t need to worry
You and me gonna light the sky
Cause we’ll light up the night
