FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January 21, 2022 \u2014 Nate Parrish is releasing the thought-provoking new single \u201cGod Knows\u201d on January 28, the most recent single from upcoming sophomore album Soul Surgery<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cGod Knows\u201d takes on the complexities of spiritual abuse\u2014 a toxic dynamic that Nate has experienced firsthand. \u201cThe song deals with the tension of being a part of an abusive spiritual system and still believing in the foundations of the faith,\u201d the songwriter explains. \u201cThere are a lot of spiritual leaders in our world that use people’s desperation, hurt and ignorance to manipulate them and build a kingdom protected against questions. I have wrestled with the desire to just lash out at these false teachers for the damage they cause to their followers, and yet I know that the best disinfectant is sunlight, and the best way to fight a lie is by proclaiming the truth.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n That message is brought to life by Nate Parrish\u2019s punk rock, do-it-yourself ethos, as he provides most of the instrumentation and production on the track himself. A longtime guitarist with history in Kutless and Worth Dying For, Nate\u2019s skills as a solo musician leveled up through writing and recording his debut album I\u2019m A Wreck<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI\u2019m a Wreck<\/em> was such an experiment for me, so I definitely have learned a lot about songwriting and production,\u201d Nate says. \u201cWhile my first album was a collection of singles, Soul Surgery<\/em> is a complete collection of songs that share a common theme. I\u2019ve become more confident in my vocals and explored some tones that I didn\u2019t on the first album. I\u2019ve also approached these songs with a lot more vulnerability and introspection.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n It\u2019s an approach that is evident on \u201cGod Knows,\u201d which doesn\u2019t shy away from the realities of the dark places so many people have experienced in spiritual cultures. \u201cI think a good approach to songwriting is asking yourself, does this matter to me? Because if it doesn\u2019t, it sure won\u2019t matter to anyone else,\u201d Nate says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although he doesn\u2019t shy away from challenging systemic norms, Nate Parrish doesn\u2019t leave listeners in a place of breakdown. Instead, he navigates the complexities and questions of our current cultural experience while always considering the possibility of hope.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThe world we find ourselves in has perfected the art of treating symptoms and never actually addressing the internal issue,\u201d he concludes. \u201cSo when the listener puts this album on, I hope it raises questions. I hope it challenges viewpoints. And I hope that it gives them hope.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Nate Parrish announces thought-provoking single \u201cGod Knows\u201d ahead of sophomore album FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE January…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":7416,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1025,1022],"tags":[1216,1514,1515],"class_list":["post-7414","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-live-report","category-news-d70","tag-kutless","tag-nate-parrish","tag-worth-dying-for"],"yoast_head":"\n
