LYRICS
I don't need a parachute, you don't need to ask if I'm okay
I can look after myself
we've been walking for hours now
my feet are starting to itch
blisters cracked all over my skin and my shoes don't even fit
I'm so sorry for the pain, sorry for the ache, sorry for the moods I'm swinging
but I don't need your hand, I don't need your heart, I don't need a parachute
I have tried to carry you as far as I could go but I'm not strong enough
to do this on my own
I pack my bags and leave this town
because I'm not welcome back here any more
upon these shores.
II'm so sorry for the pain, sorry for the ache, sorry for the moods I'm swinging
but I don't need your hand, I don't need your heart, I don't need a parachute
I'm so sorry for the greed, sorry for the hate, sorry for the mess I left you
But I don't want it back, I don't need it back, I don't need a parachute.
Well may the love, that we share, come alive tonight

What a true talent Charlie Simpson is.

[@menheraboy]

0:20 trying to watch the mv but all I can focus on is how good Charlie looks with messy hair

[@dlogamez]

Still listen to this myself.. anyone else?

[@melissajelassi2470]

I love Charlie’s voice and from the moment I heard Rhino on the masked singer I was convinced. Love that show.. anyway it reminded me of this absolutely beautiful song. Me and my friends used to call Charlie jail bate 😂 beautiful guy with a gorgeous voice. A talent ❤

[@scottpedley7801]

I will always love this song. ‘Young pilgrim’ and ‘long road home’ are, for me, two of the best albums ever made. Desperate to hear another solo album

[@adamknight7904]

...and his latest masterpiece Hope Is A Drug is his best yet 👏 🙌

[@lucygivetheworld]

Proof that there is a life after pop music. Very lovely .

[@Leanne2401]

God watching this I could cry! I was 19 when this song come out, feels like it was the good old days 😢

[@YHAJackAttack]

Charlie Simpson... The best teletubby of them all.

[@imjonathanblake]

This shouldn't have just thousands of views, this should have millions.

[@scipio06]

36 people i would'nt give a Parachute too, simply brilliant.. follwed him since day and he's matured so much im glad he's being noticed more now he deserves it.

[@TheCameter]

It's not true that the international fans have forgotten about Charlie - he's still in my memory, a Danish memory, that is!! I liked him in Busted, loved him in Fightstar and adore him now!!

[@beathebeat]

I absolutely approve of the path Charlie has decided to take. I love everything he creates, he's a genius.

[@alexros3]

I used to listen to this song constantly a couple of years ago! I completely forgot about it until someone mentioned charlie

[@alvinlansking2222]

In did I can feel that too.... This song is so beautiful 😓😓😓😓 I can sleep it 3:21am here in West Africa sierra Leone. We can be friends okay this my WhatsApp number [phone] Wish one day you come to visit Africa. I have a WhatsApp group for Africa Tourism okay were we can share most of this beautiful songs!

[@kellyamua]

I heard this song in work almost everyday for weeks, and thought it was such a good tune and wanted to download it, I didn't know who sang it or even what it was called, and I was in shock when I googled the lyrics and saw it was Charlie from Busted!! he's come a long way since then! LOVE this song!

[@TheWinningSean]

I dont think Simpson has ever written a bad song ...... Brilliant tune !! Deserves to be a hit !

[@VampireBabe1989]

his voice ♥

[@OMGLOLGR8BRB]

my childhood love affair with charlie simpson from his busted days continues ... this song is just amazing

[@forestdad]

Absolute class. And then he goes and writes Thorns, Jesus how much talent?

[@Gjlewin]

This dude's music has followed me through life - as a youngster I loved Busted, as a teen I've loved Fightstar and now his solo work is just as beloved to me as all the rest. Hopefully, he doesn't stop any time soon either.

[@yeboaaah1449]

I'll never stop listening to this

[@TheBartonaitor]

from Busted to Fightstar to solo, Charlie Simpson still young - has alot more to give us

[@ArmyGal131]

Charlie was my favourite Busted member and I adore this new style ofmusic so much, it really suits his voice, it's deepness still giving me the shivers

[@HerpDerpSmurf]

Music generation changes all the time. And well to be very honest. I love this song really suits him.

[@elmorrisV3]

I don't understand how he isn't insanely famous, he is amazing

[@Lucewelsh]

I've always loved Charlie... Now I love him 100 times more xxx

[@HSirajx]

His voice is simply just breath taking♥

[@HSirajx]

Charlie's voice is amazing no matter what style of mucic he sings♥

[@1martyboify]

probably one of the greatest music videos i have ever seen

[@Sophee1415]

i didn't know this was him until they talked about him on radio one earlier. i love the sound of his voice.

[@sarahd0tcom]

So underrated; this song is amazing

[@xCat17x]

seems like charlie has finally found where he is most comfortable. Im liking it!

[@TheEnglishWay1]

I hope this shoots up to atleast half a million views. Even though it deserves to be way more than that. Charlie is the most under-rated musician EVER!

[@Ch4rlie98]

seeing Charlie live in April. it going to be the best night ever

[@magicfridj]

Much more respect for this lad now, album = bought.

[@22teamswans]

Forget how good this song was. Glad I saw that you won mask singer it reminded me to listen to your stuff again 👍🏻

[@Velvet1969]

As a 42yr old male, I'm happy to say that Busted passed me by like a whisp of smoke in the night. Thanks to Xfm, my attention has been drawn to this fine piece of music. Keep this up and you'll broaden your fanbase exponentially. Quailty tune +rep m8.

[@inwoolee2200]

busted is back!

[@cezieebubzz]

Oh my gosh! He's back without me knowing! And it was AMAZING!

[@Lindzwinchester]

this guy just get better and better

[@Tuuralihn]

Im so glad Charlie left busted. If he hadn't we would never be able to hear the legend songs from Fightstar and these solo-songs. So amazing

[@DannyHardman17]

One of the greatest videos I have ever seen.

[@xXMattyXGoesXRawrXx]

This is how more music videos should be. Obviously not exactly the same, but at least slightly. Expressive. meaningful. Sometimes metaphorical. I really connected with it and that's why I liked it. Cause you can tell it meant something to him. This is what art looks like, people.

[@PaigeeKnightt]

Charlie is just a role model tbqh. He's been around since Busted and has continued to work, and make amazing music. In love with this song. In love with this video. In love with this boy.

[@madlittleminx92]

he's performing at Greenbelt Music festival in August, i go there every year and will totally be going to every gig.

[@ewenthomas1080]

Love this song , loved being in the video. Right at the end blue shirt , brown chinos 👌

[@bekkiigrogie]

Fascinating music video. I really like how you did it, very thought provoking.

[@alvinlansking2222]

In did I can feel that too.... This song is so beautiful 😓😓😓😓 I can sleep it 3:21am here in West Africa sierra Leone. We can be friends okay this my WhatsApp number [phone] Wish one day you come to visit Africa. I have a WhatsApp group for Africa Tourism okay were we can share most of this beautiful songs!

[@CoRtNZ1]

4 people are zombies. No feelings. After this song I am numb no more! LOVE IT @charliesimpsonmusic

[@TheCuddlesProduction]

Was watching this Live on Saturday front row.... Love it!!! Roll on Vfestival 2012!!!

[@simski3000]

Everything Charlie Simpson does is epic, whether it be Busted, Fightstar or his solo stuff. What's awesome about each of them is that they all have their own individual sound and to me each one of them is on par with each other and offers something different. Busted with its nostalgia, Fightstar with awesome sound and this solo material which is a lot more relaxed, but all of it awesome.

[@siobhaaans]

I haved loved Charlie Simpson since I was like 7.. and I still do! This song is beautiful!

[@TheDragonflyMiss]

video is stunning. wedding and funeral scene is so unexpected and fascinating. great song by the way!

[@2rik9]

Can definitely feel the Fightstar vibe at 2:33, awesome song as per usual from Mr Simpson.

[@bowlingforj]

Simple video, yet its awesome. It's as if the frame around his neck is showing everything perfect, just like the saying Picture Perfect. Love it.

[@GuessIwillNeverKnow]

i love his voice seriously

[@EssentialBlue]

I just found this song again and listening to it I had to laugh. It kinda describes a situation I had two weeks ago on my last day in Zurich walking behind my collegues with hurting feet and them constantly asking if I was okay. I just didn't want to say "everything is fine" anymore. Going back to Switzerland next week. I hope it will be better. After all this years I still love that the lyrics are about such an everyday situation instead of something really heavy or romantic.

[@jclgaming94]

Still listening to this in 2019

[@randomgirl66]

2021 here

[@yeboaaah1449]

2021 let's go boys

[@marchughes360]

2021 still class

[@michaelwilliamson610]

2022 here

[@alexclift2972]

2023 here…

[@JonnyTarry]

I love he went from pop rock with Busted to a heavier style with Fightstar and now all the way to folk rock as a solo artist. He's a very talented man and constantly overlooked because of his earlier career.

[@emoinsun]

only thing that can be said is. well done charlie simpson u pulled it off again.. fantastic fantastic

[@whatever6618]

that made me fell a bit sad and I think a lot about my life... your music is grab my heart and hold it strong

[@imarleom]

[@lillyavocado]

[@xChloeDesux]

I FREAKING ADORE THIS SONG!

[@hhalez]

His album is soo awesome!! He was on Sky News today because a load of his CDs were burnt in the riots but they still managed to reproduce a load in time for today.. awesome!!

[@ninapuchina4825]

This song is so underrated!!

[@chrisguerra1000]

wow!! able to contain my personal feelings on life in 3 minutes and 34 seconds.. i love how polar opposite things are and how happy and sad moments can just happen :/

[@beckarogers4366]

Seeing him live tomorrow, I'm so excited x

[@MRJMB94]

loving all this new stuff

[@Zooeeyx1]

his voice is so different! its beautiful in its own way+ all his songs are amazing.

[@FallOutJessica7]

Okay, so where I'm getting at is this, the Charlie walking holding a screen is reality. What is displayed on the screen is how its presented to the world. Any takers?

[@Ch4rlie98]

going to see Charlie in Portsmouth tonight :) can't wait

[@Gussieee]

i absolutely love charlie and have done since i was about 6 and saw him in busted when i was 8, they then broke up and he went back to fightstar, i then started to realised my love for fightstar and the love still goes on when hes doing solo work

[@xPopsiclesx]

this man is so beautiful, I have serious appreciation for his music.

[@LaurenR1794]

so happy i met this dude!

[@KaaaattKeeirxo]

this is beautiful. only words.

[@Jez1560]

Parachutes me into a world of bliss listening to this :)

[@ShutUpMerlin]

i love the two contrasts of how he is, and then how a perfect life would be.

[@wallen123]

i could listen to every single song charlie has written with fightstar and in his solo career all day and all night, so good its unreal :P

[@ilovemisfitsx]

i love the way the video is shot! such an unusual yet amazing way to show a story within a video!

[@ellyenterprize]

[@likeblessbutwithaG]

[@theoriginalnathan]

[@bethanmeatsix1]

no matter how many times i listen to this it never ever ever gets old!

[@malonerboner]

cannot wait for the album!

[@Cory11cab]

The 'walking in a straight line' music video concept with boards/frames has been done before (kinda looks like Bernard Fanning: "Wish you well"), but the different sides of life happy/sad situation, that's cool. Awesome song. Awesome video.

[@paulreynoldsx]

can't wait for the album!

[@hannery27]

wow i had no idea til just now that it's the charlie simpson from busted. kept hearing the song on xfm and loved it! mental. loved busted, love this.
