Lyrics:
Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
The boy laughed and danced around in the rain
While launderettes cleaned clothes high heels rubbed toes
Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
Dressed in their suits and their boots well they all look the same
I took myself down to the cafe to find all the boys lost in books and crackling vinyl
And carved out a poem above the urinal that read
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you're given
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead
While the evening pulled the moon out of it's packet
Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket
We needed a nail but we tacked it 'til it fell of the wall
Yeah while pigeon's pecked drains, sparks flew like planes
The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stainsAnd we all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call
And i stumbled down to the stomach of the town
Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown
With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you're given
Yeah life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead
Or you’re better off dead
Well i'm sick of this town, this blind man's forage
They take your dreams down and they stick them in storage
You can have them back son when you've paid off your mortgage and loans
Oh hell with this place, i'll go it my own way
I'll stick out my thumb and i trudge down the highway
Someday someone must be going my way home
‘Till then i’ll make my bed from a disused car
With a mattress of leaves and a blanket of stars
And i’ll stitch the words into my heart with a needle and thread
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you're given
Yeah life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead
So don’t cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you're given
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead
Don’t you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you're given
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead

I remember listening to this song about 10 years ago for the very first time. I was so young and hadn't experienced a bit of life yet. It was significant to me then...but I understand the lyrics and meaning behind the song so much better now. I'm not sure if I should be mourning the loss of my innocence or celebrating the expance of my experience. Maybe just a little of both. Thank you Mike and Foy for breathing such a renewed life into this song!
Exacly man, this is the song I first played on my guitar, got me into Passenger. Such a special song!!
The more gray we have the better we relate to this song.
Divino verlos juntos cantando esta cancion y el video hermoso!! Desde Argentina!!!!!
Amo, ❤

Occasionally, you search for music on TH-cam. There are times when music finds its way to you... like this one! ❤
🎉 facts 🎉
Agreed 👍
Yes🎉
Feeling that..
and you Let her go is so so striking it strike me inside the first time i heard for first time i opened fm radio and they incidentally can play the most requested new song way before years ago now.🎉😅😅😂
My husband passed 10 yrs ago this album got me through a lot! Today is his Birthday! Impeccable timing! Happy Birthday love. Forever 25
Do I know u?
Ditto only my husbands birthday was 7th of September and passed 10 yrs this November 💕
❤❤
Happy Birthday for Your Husband
May the souls of the dead rest in peace 🙏🏽
This song helped me tremendously when I moved to the US from Chile. New start, New beginning, new people, new friends and the sadness of leaving my family behind. ...So, don't cry for the lost, smile for the living, get what you need and give what you're given, life's for the living so live it, or you better off dead... Thank you Mike, you're by far my favorite artist of the last 10 years. Cheers 🍻
Welcome!!!
Your comment sent chills.
Well done
“When we all had new iPhones, but no one had no one to call…” brilliant & pertinent.
Passenger has maintained his sound for the past many years. Every instrument still sounds the same: the drums, strings, etc. It's too beautiful to behold. Cheers , Champ
I've always known Passenger for "let her go", then I heard this song at the height of the pandemic and I was blown away...
It touched me in a way that I can't describe. This man is gifted and deserves all the flowers he's getting. Thank you Mike
“Don't you cry for the lost,
smile for the living.
Get what you need and give what you're given.
Life's for the living so live it,
or you're better off dead” ❤
I love u❤
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living.
Get what you need and give what you give.
Or you better of dead❤😢
❤❤
Yesh
That was wonderful - the song, the scenery, and the harmonies at the end in particular 🤗! Can't wait for the rest of the songs! Happy All the Little Lights anniversary 🕯!
My type of people forever. So loving and caring. God Bless You. You are so special. ❤
Heart of GOLD THANK YOU ❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😊
I was 13 the first time I heard this song, now I'm 20 and its one of the songs that have gotten me through the most difficult times. Never would have been alive today if it weren't for Mike's music.
Listened to this song many times going to school when I was 16. Now I'm 26, released my first EP this morning and leaving France for Australia in 3 days, with no friend, no home, and no job waiting for me. All the Little Lights is a classic for me, I'm sure it inspired me to go it my own way years after ❤️
Bonne chance!!!
@@rafaboban merci 🙏
Like Mike, you are most welcome here 🇦🇺
@@shezgate Thanks 🫶
I’m landing in Melbourne, struggling to find a houseshare for now, but I’ll work it out once there
all the very best for your endeavours!!
We‘ve played this song 10 years ago at our dad‘s funeral. Heard this album at his last hours. Always in our hearts and never forget this music. Means so much.

When I first listened to Mike, I remember I was filled with goosebumps. He has got that angelic voice, his lyrics, and everything together makes him a great person. His songs are like a Poem to me. It makes me miss my literature classes back in school. Much much love from Ghana 🇬🇭
I remember chasing my dreams, which entailed migrating from my home country to England in search of a quality education and an improved life. Within the days leading to my travel, I abruptly began feeling nostalgic, Mike's songs got me through, even in the hardeest moments. The most awe-inspiring of songs was "Riding to New York". I remember listening to it as I trudge down the road leading to the library!
Today, I am a Master's Degree holder in Mechanical Engineering, and a first year PhD student at the University of Bolton, Greater Manchester. Thank you Mike for you soul-lifting music!
Best thing about your comment is you fucking did it you didnt five in to fear good on ya
im here in England from the Philippines. Taking meds for depression… i hope to make it just a year more here.😢 i will be home soon to be with my wife and kids.
@@lowlightRN keep holding on, and make friends here in England. I hope you find the healing that you seek.
Aww...Passenger is getting older but his voice still on point 😊

Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
The boy laughed at the spastic dancing around in the rain
While laundrettes cleaned clothes, high heels rub toes
Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows

Well they all look the same
I took myself down to the cafe to find all
The boys lost in books and crackling vinyl
And carved out a poem above the urinal that read

You know life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you're given
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead
I didnt think the song could be any better but Foy brings a whole new sound to it. Having this played at my funeral.
❤
R.I.P
I moved to Australia because of this song haha Watching old videos of Passenger busking around Australia back in the day helped get me out of a pretty deep depression. I figured it was either do something drastic to change my life or that was it. When I stumbled across this song it gave me the last push to buy the plane tickets. Been a nomad ever since and I've never been happier.
Thanks Mike!
Cheers!! Keep moving forward and best of luck!
Never thought a Passenger song could sound better but adding Foy to it gives it a grittier feel that I really love
Listening 10 years on and the magic is still there. Your lyrics never fail to move me.
❤
The two of you singing together is a dream come true. Beautiful harmony!
😮todos aqui são grandes admiradores de lindas músicas passenger merece reconhecimento eternamente fã que música deles ❤❤
I did not find this music....it found its way to me.....I did not realize I needed a good cry.... So much was I carrying in my heart....
When the music is so pure, there's no one can dislike them.
Nice and unique voices both 👍👍
Back in 2014 my 22 y.o. best friend passed away. I was far from home studying in Edinburgh and it was a tough time for me. Mike did some of his busking/street concerts on the royal mile amb for the first time I heard his music. His music has always resonated with me since then. This album is my favourite and helped me smile a lot back then.
How can you make something already amazing sound even better!? Can’t wait for the new CD to come through my letter box!!! ❤🥃
I’m going your way home! What a song!! Amen. God bless you man. I get it. Massive hugs. X
This album is the shape of my youth, thank you so much for this ❤❤❤❤
I love this song…. One of my favorites. Im so happy… also hell or high water is my absolute favorite.
I could listen the Acoustic versions all day long
Yeah, there are some days I put Hell and High water on loop for hours....😊😌
Absolutely Heartfelt!
Love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
For anyone going through a hard time right now, hang in there. "This too shall pass". ❤
Reading this and I'm crying right now
Thank you 😢❤
Esta canción es un grito a la libertad. De vivir la vida. Sin más. Tus letras, tus canciones, tu música... Son inspiración. Gracias Mike.❤
Thanks so much for this one guys, I also lost my better half in the pandemic, and been in depression ever since. This song has given me something to live for guys. It's just hauntingly beautiful, if you know what I mean.
PASSENGER passed by me today. My tears got dried and my confidence is back.
Yes, I am among the living and life is for me. I have to live it.
Great to hear!! Keep moving forward!
Yessir
My Favorite Singer Ever, all your songs are so meaningful and touch the hearts, God bless you Micheal big Love from Palestine 💞❣❤
Recently lost my mother and this song meant a lot to her❤️🕊️
This has always been my favourite Passenger song and I love this re-release.
Living life to the fullest means pursuing our passions, taking risks, and embracing new experiences. It means being present in the moment, cultivating gratitude, and fostering connections with ourselves and with others. It's about finding joy in the simple things, celebrating milestones, and learning from challenge
The duo we never knew we needed!!!!
This is breathtaking ❤❤❤
What a magnificent duo you are. From the first notes, we remember this wonderful song and when Foy Vance's voice mixes with yours you become one. It's magical and awesome at the same time! Friendships! from Quebec, Canada🙂
jeanlachance110,You must be a good soul ❤
@oscarikenna Thank you so much Oscar! I appreciate your comment!✌
Amazing! Thanks Mike and Foy ❤ lots of love from Brazil 🇧🇷
He's always been living in our hearts with his pretty songs 💕
What a lovely version...voices work really well together 💜💕💜💕💜💕💜💕
Classic beauty!
A true poetry!
Massive energy.❤
Someday, someone, must be going my way home❤❤️❤
Best musician ever! Simple song with deep meaning! Passenger forever❤
I've been obsessed with this song for a decade since 2012. Now I've got to listen to another version for another decade.
Increíble, espectacular, inmejorable, un placer escucharte!!
I am so thankful for you passenger, your music has gotten me through some of the worst times in my life, and I will always love listening to your music, to me your the inspiration for me in making music.
I first listened to this song around 2016 when I was in college.. I loved it so much, it’s one of the first songs that made me fall in love with his music. Passenger, keep inspiring people ❤
Incredibly excited to hear Foy Vance on this, can't wait for tomorrow!
Listening in NZ right now. They sing together beautifully!
The video is amazing!!! I love the locations you choose for your videos, they're really the perfect match for your beautiful songs 😻🎤🎸💫
This song has a real Van Morrison feel, especially with the soulful brass. I can see Glen Hansard performing this with Passenger.
Absolutely LOVE this song! What an important message to all of us.
❤❤❤
You got one majestic beard there. And a fancy moustache. And great voices. And great music. And...
I love you passenger .. my soul starts healing by hearing your worthy lyrics ❤
Thanks for everything mate. You’re truly an inspiration, a good songwriter and a top bloke !
This is such a soulful song. I have always admired passenger.
Seems like it was yesterday when I first heard this song and now it's better than ever!
Come back to Mexico, we all miss you 🎉
I first saw you in concert when I was about 16, I’m 24 now and your lyrics hit so much harder. Thank you for this new project I’m so excited for the rest 💛
With all the support for you, my friend, we miss your calm, kind voice. May you always be proud of your parents and all your loved ones ❤❤
It is the one of the best song by passenger ,hugely underrated
Didn't think this song could get any better but it did. Awesome duet.
Its pure magic to experience this music in two different moments of my life, ten years ago i was a complete different person, but i still love this music, im still in love with this album, passenger is still my favorite band in the world! Thanks Mike, for bring all this feelings back, you are the real deal! Lots of love from a fan in Brazil!
Hey Mike, thanks for this song. Absolutely love it! Your songs have given me a lot of strength during my tough phases. Thanks for creating such amazing songs. Loads of love.
I listened to this on repeat for hours on a greyhound bus travelling the East coast of Australia 12 years ago and it brought me to tears because I was the other side of the world from everyone I loved and it made me realise exactly what is important.
Oh Mike you beautiful soul! This is one of my favorite passenger songs ever and this version gave me chills! Loved the video and the collab
This is such an incredible re- recording of this song. It's always been special to me and i wasn't sure of this version at first but i actually think it's better then the original now.
Special song with such amazing lyrics, they can mean so many different things to different people and people relate to them. They definitely have a special place in my heart.
The song that makes me see the worth of being alive ❤
Absolutely fantastic. No song from Passenger ain’t my favorite.. My playlist is full of Passenger’s songs. I learn so much about this life that we live through passenger’s songs. I feel like he wrote them for me ❤😭. Love you passenger, BIG FAN OF YOURS FROM Atlanta Georgia. 🇨🇩🇺🇸
Thank you so much dearest Mike 🤗❤️🥰🙏🏽😀😘
You are like my inner voice. When I can't hear myself and there is so much noise then I turn to you.
That was fucking beautiful. You probably won't read this, but you have no idea how much this song means to me. When I first found your song, Let Her Go, after listening on replay for like 2 days I decided to listen to the full album, and god damn it I made the right choice. After "All The Little Lights" I went and listen to "Wicked Man's Rest" and there was no way back from your music. I'm very much glad you decided to revisit this album, and I cannot wait to hear the rest of it. Much love!
So many memories from your night in paris last year.Seeing you at stage was one of the things i wanted to do so badly and was like a dream came true. I will cherish this concert forever thanks for spreading good vibes through your music.
Happy anniversary 🎉 and thank you for thus gift ❤
❤❤❤
Two of my favourites singing one of my favourite songs , I love singing along to this at a Passenger gig ❤
Have been so moved by this man and his music from the beginning, God bless and TY!!
Found this while listening to the song “Dupe - Cash “ 😅😅
I have nothing to say than to say THANK YOU SO MUCH😢... Your songs change ny view of life in all aspect. Songs like this one, chasing gold, the way that i love you, rolling stone, everything, and so on... So so good ❤❤❤
I wish Passenger would come to Portland. Hell even Seattle
I need this quietness in my life
💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Truly life is for the living....smile for the living and don't you cry for the lost..live each day as it comes at you
Truely!!!
10 years ago this album introduced me to your music. I now own all your albums, and this one will also join my collection too. Thank you passenger (mike) your music has helped me through some of my toughest years. 😊
Lyrics come into my head like I’m hearing my dad talks to me when I feel lost. Thanks a lot❤
Two great storytellers who happen to sing really well! 😁
One thing that i learned from Passenger and from this music was "don't cry for the lost smile for the living" an that was about 10 years ago... and i've been happier since
한국에 사는 당신의 팬입니다.
아름다운 노래가 내 마음을 울리네여
고마워여 패신져~
언젠가 당신의 공연을 보러 꼭 가겠습니다^^❤
사랑합니다 나의 패신져~❤
바우와우
Two amazing vocalists on a great song!
Such a incredible artist. It’s been a honour, and an incredible experience following passenger throughout all these albums.
This song has been with me since some of the hard times I've been through. I discovered it at your show in Montreal in 2018. It kept me going even when I didn't feel like fighting anymore. Thank you Mike for this cover and for all your work. This one is wonderful!
Eita Voz Inconfundível 💚💛🥳🇧🇷
Amazing❤ I remember listening to this as a teenager and now I’m almost 30 and it still means so much but hits me more emotionally now
One of my favorite songs. Great harmonies!
Awesome! One of my favorite songs, not only from the album, but from your whole discography, which includes hundreds of songs. Keep 'em coming, Mike, and thank you for your amazing work!
An underrated artist who has been consistent in producing quality music
Simply humble and honest music with meaningful content
Absolutely beautiful ❤
Literally WOW. What a song.
two absolutely unique, unmistakeable voices together. amazing collab
This video is exactly how it was built by the hype❤️
I believe, This is one of the most realistic cinematic video for any song I've seen, It felt like You're here in front of me.🌟
Definitely loved this new version of this important song in all of us Passengers lives🤝
wow, that was lovely! i hadn't listened to foy before but i am definitely going to check out his music - what great vocal color between you two. mike, i've been a fan since i was in middle school. i dealt with really bad anxiety and your music was the only thing that helped me fall asleep. happy to be listening here 10 years later! can't wait to go through the rest of the album
It is wonderful, like everything he does, it is a wonderful experience to listen to such a beautiful voice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Thank you, Mr. Rosenberg.
