about

Tāmaki Makaurau indie-rockers PARK RD return with their first new material in over a year. The new single, ‘Ride’ is the first to be released from their upcoming debut album.

Taking sonic inspiration from the likes of modern rock stars The 1975 & Spacey Jane, ‘Ride’ is a dreamy and playful slice of indie rock, showcasing the sound that has gained PARK RD an audience that grows with each performance.

Recorded with longtime collaborator Josh Edmonds and led by soaring vocals from frontman Tom Chamberlain, the track signals the return of an act leading the next generation of bands in Aotearoa.

lyrics

Blurry eyes now as I touch down
Snapshot lights from the runway
I’m pretty sure all that we did was talk about shit from a distance
You give me those chills in the nighttime
pretty lights all on your face now
And I don’t really know where your heads at
But I don’t wanna fall

You make me wanna ride
My baby
My baby
I don’t wanna fall out
And do you really wanna fall down
You know you’re always on my
Mind baby
My baby
I don’t wanna fall out
And do you really wanna fall down

Working in ways that we don’t know
Seeing your face at the disco
We’re sitting alone at your friends home
Watch it go dim from the window
It happened so fast I can’t understand
But it hit me like the flash from your camera
And I don’t really care where the night goes
And we don’t gotta fall

You make me wanna ride
My baby
My baby
I don’t wanna fall out
And do you really wanna fall down
You know you’re always on my
Mind baby
My baby
I don’t wanna fall out
And do you really wanna fall down

And I can’t wait
I’m so impatient
It’s better than it ever was
Your lips and the chemicals
In my brain
I can’t explain it
I can’t contain
My heart in flames
And you’re to blame coz you

You make me wanna ride
My baby
My baby
I don’t wanna fall out
And do you really wanna fall down
You know you’re always on my
Mind baby
My baby
I don’t wanna fall out
And do you really wanna fall down
