Music Review: Hayley Williams caught me with ‘Parachute’
Words: Helena Juric
★★★★★
Where do I start? I could honestly write a dissertation on this song. It’s so poetic with its metaphors.
Not only this, it perfectly encapsulates how I’m currently feeling within my romantic life. Hayley Williams has this way of portraying my life back to me so articulately that I wonder often if we’re dealing with the same things. It’s so relatable and personable.
Not only does Hayley Williams write well, she is very emotive as an individual with her performance presence. Truly captivating.
I have been listening to ‘Parachute’ on repeat since I heard it alongside the acoustic versions of new songs ‘Kill Me’ and ‘Glum’ which can be found on YouTube.
I think the most beautiful qualities of Hayley Williams’ music is the ability she has to express herself empathetically, almost being a hand to hold.
I have been a fan of Paramore since I can remember and continue to follow Hayley Williams sound for however long she continues to write.
Thank you Hayley Williams for getting me through some ‘Hard Times’. You are iconic.
