“Golden Sunrise Of The Summerlands” by Christopher Parris is an uplifting folk pop tune about finding your purpose and connecting with the universe in order to reach a beautiful golden sunrise. What exactly this sunrise means to each person may be different, which is part of the beauty of the song. For some, reaching the golden sunrise could be about fulfilling relationships, for others it could be about finding peace within themself. Parris welcomes each listener into this song, allowing you to connect your own experiences and desires with this lovely soundscape.
Upbeat acoustics, tapping congas, and joyful electric guitars fill the arrangement with positivity. Sweet harmonies and pretty slide guitar build on top of this backbone to make the production dynamic and captivating. Lyrics like “sometimes when you roll the dice it never quite pans out” and “more to learn from life than what we have all been shown” acknowledge the confines of our modern reality, and encourage the listener to step outside of the norm in order to find meaning. Rejecting conformity and expectations in the pursuit of understanding yourself is always worth it. These spiritual themes add a layer of magic to the track, bolstered by steady rhythms and a catchy chorus to chant along to.
Building purpose in your life and connecting with the environments, and people, around you is something Parris values very highly. With the sonics and lyrics of “Golden Sunrise Of The Summerlands,” he poignantly displays these values and calls the listener to feel them too.
