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
