It also has a bit of the Buckley vibe. Everything's Not Lost has the melancholy piano of a bar room ballad. Parachutes' hidden track, Life Is For Living, is another Martin apology. It's a nice finish with a melancholy but rich sound, filled out by an orchestra. Martin typically sounds both subdued and optimistic.
Parachutes is an appealing record.
Chris Martin isn't the greatest singer but in his vocals and lyrics, he presents an appealingly real, humble and likable personal.
