**Album:** The National Parks - "Wild Spirit" · **Artist:** The National Parks · **Released:** 17 May 2024

We're big fans of [The National Parks](https://thenationalparksband.com/?ref=analogue.io) around here with their ability to usher in a buoyant mood with their infectious pop sensibilities, so we were quick to turn up the volume on the band's new single, "Wild Spirit," from a forthcoming summer LP of the same name.

Fresh off of the cycle of supporting their fifth LP, *8th Wonder*, Brady Parks and company have wasted no time in writing and recording an inspiring new set of 12 songs. "Wild Spirit" shines the same bright light that's defined the band's sonic direction from the beginning, a catalog filled with companion songs that search earnestly for the hope in things great and small.

"Wild Spirit" is the second single to be released so far after "Timber!" from the late-August release. It's a testament to a band following their own calling and inviting a passionate fan base along with them.

**Wild Spirit**

*Standing on a mountain, but staring at the clouds* 
*I’m searching for a view, but I can’t see through where I am right now* 
*I know there’s something out there, got my ear to the ground* 
*It’s buzzing like a bee, blowing through the trees like a whispered sound* 
*Losing myself but I’m finding out fast* 
*There are no footprints on this path*

*Guess I got a wild, wild spirit* 
*Always had a wild, wild spirit* 
*Dreaming all day, wandering all night* 
*Walking through the forest of my mind* 
*'Cause I got a wild, wild spirit*

*Hey hey hey hey*

*Staring at a picture hanging in a frame* 
*Feeling like a ghost but surely heaven knows that I couldn’t stay* 
*I found my reflection in puddles from the rain* 
*I don’t know what it means, but the color of the leaves* 
*Makes me think we’re supposed to change*

*Guess I got a wild, wild spirit* 
*Always had a wild, wild spirit* 
*Dreaming all day, wandering all night* 
*Walking through the forest of my mind* 
*‘Cause I got a wild, wild spirit*

*Hey hey hey hey* 
*Hey hey hey hey*

*Losing myself but I’m finding out fast* 
*There are no footprints on this path* 
*Guess I got a wild, wild spirit* 
*Always had a wild, wild spirit* 
*Guess I got a wild, wild spirit* 
*Always had a wild, wild spirit* 
*Dreaming all day, wandering all night* 
*Walking through the forest of my mind* 
*'cause I got a wild, wild spirit*
