about

Parachute is a love song. A heart-on-sleeve, head-in-the-clouds love song. A pop paen to trust, adoration and skydiving. Musically speaking, it takes a little of A.R. Kane's groovy gossamer and throws in some 90s R&B and a pinch of Tom Zé's 'induced harmony'. Let it wash you.

This is single three of four in a series, all recorded during COVID-19 lockdown. It was written by all members of The Nature Centre in a game of musical consequences, whereby one member would create a 'germ' that would be built upon and manipulated by the other members in turn. The resulting four singles form a loose quadrilogy, linked sonically if not thematically.

lyrics

Even though I am scared of heights
I would jump out planes for you.

In my parachute I would fly,
Happy though I think I might die.

Meet me on the ground.

When we laugh, I don't feel afraid.
I would fight the world for you.

Dazzled by my boxing prowess,
It would fold and we'd coalesce.

Join your path up with mine.
