FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE — Underground punk rock mastermind Nate Parrish will be releasing a new ballad, “Small,” streaming everywhere and going for radio adds March 15. You can find the song on all platforms at https://show.co/jU8D7cF.

“I often find myself overwhelmed, being bombarded with headlines and soundbites and a steady diet of bad news,” the songwriter and multi-instrumentalist says, unpacking the song’s meaning. “As my head fills with information, I start to feel the weight of all the things that I can’t change. Hopelessness creeps in. I wrote this song as a prayer, a plea to God to help me calm my mind and re-focus on what matters most in my life. To let me see a mountain, to make me feel small again.”

This prayer came from a genuine and raw place in the musician’s spirit, serving as one of those creative moments only explained through divine inspiration.

He adds, “I honestly don’t know where this song came from. I remember sitting in my room looking out the window at my son playing in the dirt, and the song just came to me. I wrote and recorded it that same afternoon.”

The message is accompanied by stirring instrumentation that reigns in some of the usual in-your-face punchiness of Parrish’s punk sound, offering an arrangement that immediately pulls on the heartstrings. “Small” further proves Nate Parrish’s versatility as a musician, showcasing the ways his music will continue evolving throughout 2025.

“The instrumentation on this song and all the new songs you will hear is really just about not trying to stay contained in any punk parameters. If I want to write a ballad, I’ll write a ballad,” the rocker freely explains.

The release of “Small” will be followed by a music video with wistful imagery fleshing out the emotions the song evokes. Parrish promises that this is the first of several songs to come in 2025. You can keep up with him at https://linktr.ee/NateParrish.

As an experienced guitarist with a history of playing for rock worship bands Worth Dying For and Kutless, Nate has continually offered a unique blend of musical exploration and thoughtful, spiritually sensitive lyrics that prod at our culture in the interest of drawing us a little closer to Christ. You can find Nate Parrish on Spotify and Apple Music, and follow him on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
