Parachute and Claude Debussy

I feel like it has been such a long time since I talked about a song that is romantically lovely. Today's song is by one a band that always seems to know how to tug at my heartstrings. Parachute is a band who makes music that I always love being immersed in. Their music takes me another place of calm and tranquillity, a place where the world is bathed in a soft and sunny glow. They always somehow know how to make everything feel alright even when the song may be sad. And this song falls right into that wondrous and simple side of music.

This track, like many others by Parachute, is emotionally poignant and incredibly soulful. But Parachute is able to achieve this kind of sound in a way that is so beautifully simple and warming. This song tends to move a bit more away from the "band-like" sound that Parachute has been known to showcase. This is meant to be more of an acoustic piece, relying on very few instruments such as the acoustic guitar, a gentle keyboard, and the featheriest of drums. This song is meant to be a light one, a song which makes you feel the comfort of love.

The way the melodies all weave into one another gives the song such a complete sound while also allowing the vocals to become the main focus of the song. And there is a sweet and charming play between the male and female voices on this song. They compliment each other so beautifully and create a fairy-tale kind of mood. Their vocals harmonize in a way which emotionally connects us to the world and the music around us. In this track, the music serves as a true accompaniment to the vocals. The magic of this song happens when you bring the instrumental background and vocal foreground together. There is a soft crescendo of sound during the climax of the song, one which takes the song from being like a warm breeze to becoming hopeful rays of sunshine.

Parachute creates an enchanting dreamlike sound with this song, allowing us to fall into our own fantasies and worlds of magic. We are able to lose ourselves in the romance found throughout the instrumentation and lyrics. We are able to hear the delicateness and passion which encases each lyric. This is the kind of song which lets you float into your own little world, feeling all the glow and sweet-tempered pieces of the song. Parachute is the band that knows how to get straight to the heart.

Today's instrumental song is a romantic composition by the famous composer Claude Debussy. While this is a very well know piece, it remains that way because of how lovely and emotionally involved it is. This is another composition which desires to remove us, the listeners, from our world around us and place us somewhere magical. And I have to admit, this song does just that. It carries all the romance of a moonlit evening, the sweetness of fresh rain, and the gentleness of a spring breeze. I hope you enjoy the music and please feel free to comment!
