4 years ago, a sunny Saturday morning in Brighton, South of England. I saw a guy singing on the street with his guitar and his awesome voice. I came over to him and took a flyer from him and follow his Facebook. After listening some of his tunes via Facebook, I came to one of his gigs in Cafe Nero, Trafalgar Square, London. I bought all of his albums (getting some autographs) and became a fan. His music became a soundtrack to life. Always tried to see him live every time he played in London. One of the memorable one was the one in Slaughtered Lamb, Farringdon. Happy to see that he’s playing across the globe now. I saw him live last week in Beacon Theatre NYC. Powerful performance!
You remember when we were two beautiful birds We would Ligh up the sky when we'd fly You were orange and red like the sun when it sets I was green as an apple's eye You said you loved all the songs that I'd sing Like nothing that you'd ever heard and I said I loved you with all of my heart when We were two beautiful birds Remember when we were two beautiful birds We would sing when the morning would come You were silver and blue like the moon when it's new I was gold as a summer sun But one day you asked for a different song One that I just couldn't sing I got the melody sharp and the words all wrong Those were the last days of spring To build a nest we pecked feathers from our chests Like a book tearing out every page We weren't to know that these feathers would grow Into a beautiful cage
If you're sitting in your room thinking "Why the f*** isn't this song viral?" I am going to answer you. IT IS BECAUSE F***ING MUSIC INDUSTRY!! Our generation ( the 97% of it ) have not ears to criticise if something is beautiful to hear or just ok... Music industry is like " We are going to make this song viral!" and the teenagers are amazed and because of Ads on MTV and Spotify they get ultra-famous. We guys are this 3%. 3%! We have the power to say NO and stay by the good music's side. I don't regret supporting the good music. I am the 3%! You are the 3%! WE ARE the 3%!!!!
Mike, there's no word to describe the feelings that I had when I first heard this song. You know how to put emotions into every song you write and that's why I love your music. Your are an inspiration to me. I just wanted to say thank you, for being such a wonderful talented person that gives me chills every time I hear the first notes of one of your songs, for being yourself and for sharing your stories through your songs. That's another thing that I like about you : not every song tells a love story, there's some that tells a real person's life's struggles and happiness. You have all of my respect and from the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I dont know which country you live,which day makes you write words like these,which afternoon spins your head,,but whenever i listen to you ,each of your creations my heart melts,my eyes gets wet,my mind flies and my ears thank god that there are still people like you making such wonderful things,,,i love you passenger,,you are healing so many wounds,,,bless you
I remember the days when years ago you used to play in public at Manly in Australia. Now its good to know that more people across the world can hear your music and enjoy it. Just like this song. Let this be a reminder of how people can accomplish whatever they know what is best for themselves. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION. Thanks for reading . Many thanks for sharing your talents.
I love how Passenger is so personal with his TH-cam videos. That's really nice of him. Such a great song! Another song to add to my library of Passenger songs! He's a really unique artist.
You played this song as the opening act for Ed in Melbourne in December of last year - the show I was at. One of the main things that stuck out from that night was this song and many birds flying around the stadium. You paused the song for only a second to say, "It cost heaps to get that done." Nonetheless, it was such a beautiful performance and I'm so glad I was able to be there.
I was in the concert in Bremen, in which you play this song for the first time, this song moved me so much, that I almost cried, thank you for your amazing songs and all the memories you have helped to build.
So calm , beautiful , legendary and full of love top to bottom , every single inch is affinity and love and oh my god what a beautful guitar... legendary
Thank you for the love of music u put into this world , your music have been lifting a lot of my downs and i wish you would be always in love and compassionated with your work of music which i guess you live out for it all. Thank you
There was a day, i wish I could come to this place, immersing myself into this beautiful song and sunset. I thought it was just a dream.... but now it comes true 😇 italy, here I come 😊
Passenger sung this at somersault festival and it hit me hard, so so beautiful as always. Helped me through a lot over the years and that's what music should be about.
I'm 62 years old and my heart is locked in that cage . This song is the only song I've ever heard that truly represents where I am even after 5 years. I don't know how I will hold it together tomorrow in Manchester when you sing it. I'm going with the other beautiful bird but we are not a pair anymore . Thank you Passenger
I am 64. And four years after being asked for a divorce my heart, too, is locked in that cage. I was asked for a song that I could not sing. I do not know if I ever could sing it. I am awed by Michael Rosenberg's ability to write these words and put them to such beautiful music.
this song is so beautiful....I like this kind of music...natural...and its just so beautiful! nowadays there's no more such of these songs except u passenger!
This song couldn't have been wrote more perfectly than it has been! Mike I love every single lyric in all of your songs! they mean so much to me.. And you're such a sweet and heart warming man. You truly are an amazing musician
Each new song that you show us is better than the last one. They are all amazing and beautiful and inspirational. I cannot understand how you manage to write such beautiful lyrics and melodies. Keep up your amazing work!!!!!!
Every time i lisen to new passengers song I always fall in love with it. U know it feels very strange because all songs that he writes talks about my life in one way or another. I dont know why, but it feels like he knows my story... My loved girls.... My biggest fears..... Everything..... I cant wait to see him in Lithuania at August 11th One of my biggest dreams would come true if i could only meet him in person and talk atleast for couple minutes....... I wish it will become true........
This is my favourite song of yours. It is so touching. It's Always stuck in my head. I love all your songs, but this one is just even more amazing. Thanksfor sharingxx
Learned the guitar to this song and it is just beautiful to play. Your lyrics are out of this world too, thank you for making music that comes from the heart and for the world to hear.
I'm so happy!!! You choose the background of Barolo for your wonderful song...and Florence too ^_^ I hope you can return to enjoy and be inspired by these magical places. You are so great!!!!!
Passenger, thank you for all the songs that you have written so far and I want to also thank you for this amazing video, it's beautiful outside images are magnificent. Well, and when things together so the result is perfect, and that's what gave this video. Congratulations and thank you, every success in the world for you!
This is beautiful both lyrically and musically.........all we need is you and your guitar..... this is far superior than the album version with all the instrumentation.
Thank you so much Mike for your new video mentioning Pistoia! I'm so lucky to be born in Tuscany, I'm so proud to be italian :) ..and so happy to be one of your milion thousand fans :) I wish you all the best Barbara
His lyrics are not from this earth...Too beautiful

Two of my favourite things combined, Passenger and Italy.
I think this song is even more beautiful, when he sings it alone. It doesn't need Birdy.
You remember when we were two beautiful birds
We would
Ligh up the sky when we'd fly
You were orange and red like the sun when it sets
I was green as an apple's eye
You said you loved all the songs that I'd sing
Like nothing that you'd ever heard
and I said I loved you with all of my heart when
We were two beautiful birds
Remember when we were two beautiful birds
We would sing when the morning would come
You were silver and blue like the moon when it's new
I was gold as a summer sun
But one day you asked for a different song
One that I just couldn't sing
I got the melody sharp and the words all wrong
Those were the last days of spring
To build a nest we pecked feathers from our chests
Like a book tearing out every page
We weren't to know that these feathers would grow
Into a beautiful cage
i just love the lyrics a lot of metaphores that could make you cry
thank you ..i can sing this beautiful song

Mike has never made a bad song. Not one.
My dear Mike, the world need more people like you... World need you, need your songs, your letters.

Ascoltare questo brano e' come se io e tu stessimo davvero volando come due spendidi uccelli!! Mi manchi..
You are such an inspiration, you fill our hearts with a wonderful simplicity. Love you
Passenger has to be the human manifestation of my soul.
Arguably the best passenger song! Even after having listened to it over 50 times it amazes me everytime.
