Released on the 18th of July, “Great Outdoors” marks a special collaboration between Adam Parkinson and his younger sister, Eliana. This bass pop song is more than just a composition; it’s a celebration.
With its joyous rhythm, it is abundant in harmonies and features a catchy chorus that sings praises to the simple joys of nature—healthy oxygen, tranquil woodlands, gentle farm animals, and all the bountiful gifts that Mother Nature has bestowed upon us.
The inception of “Great Outdoors” is as charming as the song itself—a bicycle journey from London to Windermere. Throughout this trip, Adam found inspiration in the passing scenery, using fleeting moments to jot down musical notations on his phone, whether he was at a quaint pub or resting at a hotel.
The lyrics, “You’re never alone in the great outdoors; the sun’s got your back, and the wind’s by your side, and I’ll be there to catch you,” he croons, encapsulate the comforting and supportive nature of both the environment and familial love.
Adam Parkinson, a graduate of the esteemed Royal Conservatoire of Scotland, possesses a diverse musical background. There, he composed in a plethora of genres and drew from a broad palette of inspirations, including jazz, choral, and classical music.
He cites artists like Bon Iver, Bill Withers, Nat King Cole, and Chet Baker as significant influences, showcasing his taste for emotive and timeless soundscapes that extend beyond the notes and into the very air he breathes.
In addition to his accomplishments as a musician, Adam is no stranger to the stage. His artistic journey began at the tender age of 11 as an actor. Over the years, he has graced the screen in TV productions and delivered captivating performances in some of London’s most prestigious theatres, including The Old Vic, The Lyric, and The Almeida.
These experiences are not just lines on a resume; they are chapters in his life that have enriched his ability to captivate an audience, not just with his voice but with his entire being. Uniquely, he has had the opportunity to marry his two passions, performing his songs on stage, accompanied by a group of talented backing musicians.
“Great Outdoors” by Adam Parkinson is more than a song—it’s an invitation. An invitation to breathe deeply, to step outside, and to embrace the world with open arms. It encourages listeners to feel the sun on their face, to let the wind guide them, and to find solace in the natural world’s enduring embrace.
