Story Behind The Song
the ADIRONDACKS was inspired by those moments when life gets loud and complicated, but nature quietly reminds us what really matters. Living near the Adirondack Mountains, I've always felt there's something healing about the lakes, the forests, and the endless horizon of the High peaks. The Adirondack park is one of the largest protected wilderness areas in the United States, with thousands of lakes, rivers, and miles of wild country that invite people to slow down and reconnect.

Lyrics
Adirondacks by Alexandra Higgins 2026
There's a little hidden gem
In upstate NY
Where the air is fresh
in the Adirondack park
We've got 44 to choose from
Come jump in our lakes
The foothills of the mountains
It's not just good, it's great
CHORUS
It's a picture postcard
Four seasons of the year
Relaxing and peaceful
You don't want to miss it here
Away from the city nonsense
Not too far of a distance
The mountains are calling
Maybe you should be listening
Verse
The foothills of the Adirondacks
46 peaks to climb
Get out into the mountains
A peaceful way to spend time.
CHORUS
It's a picture postcard
Four seasons of the year
Relaxing and peaceful
You don't want to miss it here
Away from the city nonsense
Not too far of a distance
The mountains are calling
Maybe you should be listening
