Ingird Michaelson - Parachute



Artist: Ingid Michaleson
Track: Parachute
Album: Parachute - Single
Year: 2010

NOTE: I don't know why Spotify says this is the "Serban Ghenea Mix" but it's the original.

I love Ingrid Michaelson's music. It's always so cute, poppy, and soft. Unfortunately, it all tends to sound the same. That being said, this song actually stands out to me. It's wonderful in it's simplicity. I love the a cappella parts that lead into a catchy drum beat and acoustic bits. Her voice is refreshing and quirky.

I recently found out a little more about this song. Apparently Ingrid helped write the song, but decided not to record it herself. Instead, she passed it on the Cheryl Cole whose version is more of a dance song with autotune and electronic sounds. Ingird eventually came back and recorded her own version of the song. I haven't heard Cheryl Cole's version, but I absolutely love Ingrid's.

LYRICS:

Bup, bup ba-da-bup, ba-bup
Bup, bup ba-da-bup, ba-bup (I)
Bup, bup ba-da-bup, ba-bup (Ba-da)
Bup, bup ba-da-bup, ba-bup

I don't tell anyone 
About the way you hold my hand
I don't tell anyone 
About the things that we have planned
I won't tell anybody, 
Won't tell anybody
They wanna push me down, 
They wanna see you fall down

I won't tell anybody 
That you turn the world around
I won't tell anyone
That your voice is my favorite sound
I won't tell anybody, 
Won't tell anybody
They wanna see us fall, 
They wanna see us fall down

I don't need a parachute, 
Baby if I've got you
Baby if I've got you, 
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me, 
You're gonna catch if I fall 
(Down, down, down)

Don't believe the things 
You tell yourself so late at night
And, you are your own worst enemy, 
You'll never win the fight
Just hold onto me, 
I'll hold onto you
It's you and me up against the world, 
It's you and me

I don't believe anything, 
Don't trust anyone but me
But I believe you 
When you say were never gonna fall
Hand behind my neck, 
Arm around my waist
Never let me hit the ground, 
You'll never let me crash down

I don't need a parachute, 
Baby if I've got you
Baby if I've got you, 
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me, 
You're gonna catch if I fall 
(Down, down, down)

I don't need a parachute, 
Baby if I've got you
Baby if I've got you, 
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me, 
You're gonna catch if I fall 
(Down, down, down)

I won't fall out of love, I won't fall out of
I won't fall out of love, I won't fall out of
I won't fall out of love, I won't fall out of
I won't fall out of love, I fall into you

I won't fall out of love, I won't fall out of
I won't fall out of love, I won't fall out of
I won't fall out of love, I won't fall out of
I won't fall out of love, I fall into you

I don't need a parachute, 
B\aby if I've got you
Baby if I've got you, 
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me, 
You're gonna catch if I fall 
(Down, down, down)

I don't need a parachute, 
Baby if I've got you
Baby if I've got you, 
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me, 
You're gonna catch if I fall 
(Down, down, down)

I don't need a parachute, 
Baby if I've got you
Baby if I've got you, 
I don't need a parachute
You're gonna catch me, 
You're gonna catch if I fall 
(Down, down, down)
