Parachutes Fail
Right At Home
Jump to...
Though the foundation of this song is an acoustic shoegaze, it has elements of Passenger and Josh Doyle’s early solo work. Yes, Parachutes Fail smuggle a scuzzy beat and some sound oddities into ‘Right At Home’ that completely transform the song.
This is a downbeat song about losing faith in love, but as a composition, it’s delicate and delightful. The chorus appears once, thicker than the verses and, by definition, not overplayed. After the chorus, it repeats the first verse and then it’s gone.
If you’re looking for one of those upbeat summer songs about going to a party on the beach, this ain’t it. But if you’re looking for something that’s almost exactly the opposite of that, we’ve got you covered.
The flip side is similar, though the structure is a little more traditional ‘Before The Next Apocalypse’ has more build than ‘Right At Home’, a veritable soundtrack of big tones woven into another delicately presented track.
Parachutes Fail give us an impressive pair of songs on this single, with some interesting curveball moments.
Listen to Parachutes Fail – ‘Right at Home’.
Right At Home Lyrics
There’s something safe about hopelessness
There’s something warm about despair
And I’m feeling right at home inside my broken heart
And I’m not going anywhereThere’s something suspect about happiness
I raise an eyebrow at her each authentic grin
‘Cause every time I let some shiny teeth convince me
I get left alone againI got no plans to see tomorrow through the night
But if I did I’d just give up on them today
So all that I have left is that there’s nothing left to lose
And I’m too tired to run awayThere’s something safe about hopelessness
There’s something warm about despair
And I’m feeling right at home inside my broken heart
And I’m not going anywhere
