1.) Parachute was founded as a project in 2000 in Germany, focussing on ambient, drone, experimental and space sounds, and processed music, their musical roots are resulting out of krautrock, ambient, minimal drones, and soundscapes like Thomas Köner and earlier electronic music like Morton Feldmann, Klaus Schulze, John Cage etc… Group members are c_drive and triPhaze. The official site of Parachute is at the privatelektro record label.
2.) Parachute was a solo project created in 2005 by Matthew Stevens. The Illinois based project expanded to include Emily Sobacki on Violin and Stephanie Popoca on Glockenspiel and backup vocals.

Parachute Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You could run so fast
You never really wanted love
And it couldn't really hold you back
You were that speed train
And you were still on the run
Yeah you would crash right in
And then you'd just move along
Wishing you could just stay
Drive away if you want to
You can slow down babe
But you just can't wait
Don't you see?
You can try to fight it
But it's meant to be
You and me
Baby please
Don't believe
Anything they tell you
Right here
I swear
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
When you fly off
Yes you get so high
You never want to come back down
And you never really had to try
Baby all I know
And that I've come to find
You can the touch the sun
But you're never gonna kiss the sky
Oh I know that it haunts you
Wishing you could be there
Fly away if you want to
It's a new view babe
But it's the same air
Don't you see?
You can try to fight it
But it's meant to be
You and me
Baby please
Don't believe
Anything they tell you
Right here
I swear
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
Don't you see?
You can try to fight it
But it's meant to be
You and me
Baby please
Don't believe
Anything they tell you
Right here
I swear
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
This is where you're meant to be
The song "Meant to Be" by Parachute is a love song about a couple who have found each other despite their different personalities and life paths. The lyrics describe a relationship between two people who have different approaches to life, but who are united by an inexplicable connection that they cannot resist. The first verse describes the woman as a "speed train" who is always on the run and cannot be held back by love or relationships. The singer, however, has found her and wishes that she would stay with him. He urges her to slow down and stay with him, even though he knows she is restless.
The chorus of the song emphasizes the idea that their relationship is "meant to be." The singer urges his partner not to listen to anyone who might try to discourage her from being with him, saying that they are meant to be together. The melody and rhythm of the chorus have a catchy and upbeat quality that reinforces the idea of inevitability and the power of the connection between the two lovers.
The second verse shifts the perspective to the male partner in the relationship. He describes how his lover is like someone who can "touch the sun" but will never be able to "kiss the sky." He recognizes her restless spirit but believes that they are meant to be together despite their differences. The chorus is repeated twice more to reinforce the idea that no matter how hard they try to resist their feelings, they are meant to be together.
Line by Line Meaning
When I found you
At the time I discovered you
You could run so fast
You were capable of moving incredibly quickly
You never really wanted love
You did not have a strong desire for affection
And it couldn't really hold you back
Being in a relationship did not restrain you
You were that speed train
You were like a train moving at incredible speed
And you were still on the run
Despite everything, you were still choosing to move forward
Yeah you would crash right in
You would often rush into things headfirst
And then you'd just move along
Afterwards, you would simply keep going with your life
Oh I know that it haunts me
I am very aware that it still bothers me
Wishing you could just stay
I often longed for you to stay with me for longer
Drive away if you want to
If you feel like leaving, you can go
You can slow down babe
You can take things at a more relaxed pace
But you just can't wait
You can't hold off on your decisions
Don't you see?
Can you not comprehend what I'm saying?
You can try to fight it
You can make an effort to resist the feeling
But it's meant to be
But it's destined to occur
You and me
You and I together
Baby please
Please listen to what I'm telling you
Don't believe
Do not trust
Anything they tell you
What others tell you
Right here
In this very moment
I swear
I promise you
This is where you're meant to be
You belong here, with me, right now
When you fly off
When you take off into the sky
Yes you get so high
You soar to such great heights
You never want to come back down
You don't want to return to the ground
And you never really had to try
You were naturally gifted at it
Baby all I know
All I'm certain of
And that I've come to find
What I've learned
You can the touch the sun
You can reach out and touch the brightest part of the sky
But you're never gonna kiss the sky
You'll never get to touch the very highest point
Oh I know that it haunts you
I'm aware that you're still troubled by this
Wishing you could be there
Wishing for you to experience something you yearn for
Fly away if you want to
If you wish to leave, then fly away
It's a new view babe
It's a different perspective, my love
But it's the same air
But the air you're breathing is the same
This is where you're meant to be
This is where I firmly believe you belong

There are too many underrated bands out there, and overall these guys are pretty fortunate... Still, in the perfect world the three most popular bands would be Parachute, The Downtown Fiction, and The Workday Release.

I saw them with Walk off the Earth and I was pleasantly surprised with how good this band was live. Hopefully they gain some more popularity.
