(Facci PR) Indie rock band, The National Parks are thrilled to release their new single "Scenic Route" that is out now. "Scenic Route" Is off their new album Wild Spirit to be released August 23rd.

The band says, "I felt like my head was spinning for a lot of reasons. I was overwhelmed and feeling weighed down. But when I wrote this song, it felt like breathing slowly for the first time in a long time.

"It kind of shocked my system in the best way and made me step back and realize the importance of slowing down and soaking in the journey of this life with the person you love in spite of the crazy things we go through.

"It's about enjoying the quiet moments, the long talks, the roadtrips, sunsets on lakes and not taking yourself so seriously. Cause life is wild, and that's okay."
