Riding to New York reminds me of when the doctors told us our 5 year old would never reach 6 because of a Wilms tumor stage 3. Her one wish was to see the Grand Canyon. We had no money and they told us she was too sick to travel. We packed up the rattle trap( we called it a car) drove from Texas to the Grand Canyon. She's now 37. She said that the trip gave her the courage to fight. Thanks for the bittersweet memory.
I can’t believe whispers has been out for nearly two months now . thank you so much to all of you that have bought it / streamed it / listened too it and for all of the lovely feed back. if you haven’t heard it yet you can listen to the whole thing on youtube now …. hope you enjoy it , mike xx www.passengermusic.com th-cam.com/video/HbqjD3rQcMs/w-d-xo.html
Brought the limited addition as a father's day gift for myself. Now I have 3 of your albums (Flight of the Crow, All the Little Lights and Whispers). Intend to get all of them if possible.
Amazing job! You continue to impress me! Also 27 might be one of my favorite songs ever. The way that song builds to this amazing climax gives me chills every time!

I will be 79 in May. Hadn't thought I would find someone whose music, I would appreciate as I do yours, again. Collecting all your music. Thank you for bringing out such emotions in all of us. Incredible lyrics, fantastic voice!
When it was my birthday, I played this playlist. When my heart got broke, I played this playlist. When she left me in middle of nowhere, I played this playlist. When my friend left the bond we shared, I played this playlist. When I felt alone, I played this playlist. When I cried or laughed, I played this playlist. When my innerchild enjoyed with joy, I played this playlist. When I will again find someone meaningful, I'll play this playlist. When I'll be living the last few days of my life, I'll play this playlist. Always grateful to you, for putting your heart out and singing these beautiful songs. I'll keep these songs as a souvenir❤
Mike, I don't think that you even realise how beautiful and pefect your music is. When I lisend to you... I feel so happy an I just know that everyting will be alwright... even in the darkest of all the hours. I can't even start to describe how amazing I find your music : I only can try. Its sad in a way, that you'll probably never read this and that even if you do... you'll probably won't understand... I mean really understand how much your music mean to me... and to us all... and its sad in a way cause you're so humble about it... and I just wish that for one second you could feel it... how much you mean to us all... and that we are so happy that we have the chance to hear your music everyday. Thank you... thank you so much Mike :).
You are my favorite singer and I want to tell you that your voice and songs are the soundtrack of my lonely life , even I am that farthest fan from your country , speak different language and even have strange community that i don't fit in but music make us united in one way or another ......I hope i could see you one day , talk to you and telling you my story .
Is it normal that listening to this makes me feel so happy and peaceful, as if I have fallen in love? I have never felt so much joy in any kind of music. It's also nice to know that there is still real music in the market, you know with meaningful lyrics and stuff.
I think finally after 10 years I can express why I need your music in my life. How to explain to people why your music is different to me. How to explain to my husband why such a song makes me cry even if it’s a positive song. In few words, your songs help me find love for the world and help me survive people :)
Passenger is more than just an artiste, he is an angel, and a gift to humanity and the entire music world. His lyrics are deep and the sound will just make you emotional and think.
Dearest Passenger, You are a Gifted Soul! Thank you. This creation, your music stirs my Soul and opens my heart. Bright Blessings to you, Aoibheann xxx
I have to say, I think the lyrics are from the heart. You can hear it in the music. Just a simple Irish man, that is becoming a big star. Keep grounded and focused be true to yourself.. I think thats what I hear when I listen to your music. And why I believe you are so well liked! Keep up the good work, I enjoy listening to your songs! Thank you for sharing!-
I just can't believe I didn't find your music earlier. It literally plays my heart. When I listen your music, your lyrics, I feel a special connection with you, because I see the world the same way as you do. I have listened lots of interprets whose songs I loved, but my feelings from music have never been so strong... I find myself in your lyrics and in your guitar. I myself write poems and that's quite similar to writing song lyrics, but recently I just couldn't find the right words to express my feelings... I think your songs showed me the way how to find them. It's really big inspiration for me. Thank you for that. You're amazing. :)
We can all send a thank you over to Holland ... they are the ones who put Michael on the map, with Let Her Go, 8 months after it was released, and years after he starting writing and recording (and playing) great songs. Hats off, to The Netherlands.
you know how when some artists release their albums, and the more and more popular it gets their music changes to meet the 'pop' music that is trending? what I love about Passenger is that you could listen to his previous albums like Wide Eyes Blind Love or All The Little Lights and Whispers and the music is still similar! He hasn't changed his music and style to meet the standards of todays pop music! This is what I love about it!! Great work Passenger, your music never ceases to amaze me...
The music you write and play can only be surpassed by the chords that cherubs strum on harps in Heaven. I can’t stop listening to this masterpiece of an album. Thank you for every song, every lyric, every note, and every memory that was birthed from your songs.
...it needs a real feel first of all to write and then to compose such a music which makes you loose yourself...and finally... Someone sings it...with passion... I Love it...
Passenger, I am totally amazed by your song Rolling stone. I will never get tired of listening this song over and over. The lyrics and melody of this song touch my heart in such a way that it lifts me, makes me happy and sad at the same time...but sad in a good way. I just can't explain what it does to me. Mike, pls. keep writing the beautiful lyrics, soul touching music and make us blessed in this crazy world.
I am not feeling my best today and this is why I came back to listen to this. His voice, lyrics, and songs give me strength. In 2014 -2015, my most challenging year yet, this was therapeutic for me. 💯👍🏾
You deserve all the best in this world Mike. You have no idea how much you changed my life. Dont ever sell out. Dont ever be like all the other artist in this world. And the fact that you decide to upload your whole album without thinking about any money to earn just is incrediable. I will never stop supporting you. Thank you once again for everything.
My first time hearing 27 and as I am 27 years old, I can relate to a lot of it. Lovely album and I can't wait to hear more from you! Hope to meet you some day and get to shake your hand. Wishful thinking is the way to making dreams come true. ~ Courtney
Whispers has become not only my favourite Passenger album but my favourite album of all time. It's up there with the greatest hits of Simon & Garfunkel, Cat Stevens, Don McLean and Leonard Cohen. None of those has an individual album I love as much as this. I suspect I'll still be listening to it in 20 years time. Right - back to the music!
I honestly didn't think I would ever find such beautiful music of my era. I always found myself listening to music of the past, and I could never connect to the music of modern day. But listening to you has shown me there's some hope for music....... Your music moves me every time I listen... Thank you so much.... Blessings from the Caribbean :)
The reason I love passengers music is because it gives me memories when my dad first played the little lights album to me and the music actually has meaning and emotion and it's raw
The lyrics...." I don't give a fuck if it gets on the charts" is DEEP! And people are always judging your minds is potent! Love this guys voice and his music. Just discovered him last night.:)
On days I feel particularly down, I turn to Passenger's music. I listen to them on happy days and on nostalgic days too, but on tearful days the words touch my heart even more than usual.
I remember hearing about the story of Bullets. There was an old man who, since his childhood, he collected bullets and had a lifetime of a bullet collection. One day his house was robbed, and the thieves thought the bullets in the man’s house were useable. They weren’t. They were old shell casings. They were his lifetime, with each bullet he collected having a story and memory. All of those stories and memories are gone. All he was left with were a few bullets. Truly tragic tale
Hi, I know you have probably had a lot of these messages lately but I just wanted to say thank you. I first found you by accident when I searched up something about unicorns and your song popped up, since then I have been hooked and can't stop listening to you. Also, at that time I was suffering with some depression which still comes and goes but by putting one of your songs on I can forget about it and smile again. Thank you for that, and keep up the good work, the world needs more people like you
Imagine stumbling across this album in fifty years time and finding out that Mike is still singing...it would be like striking gold. You'd want to buy a ticket.
David i just really want to thank you for your honesty in your songs. There are very few artists out there who make music to truly express them self and care about quality over profits. I was never a fan of this type of music to be honest but i listen to your albums almost every day. Keep making and believing in your art and talents, and dreams. Keep it up man and best of luck with every aspect of your life.
'Everyone's filling me up with noise, I don't know what they're talking about. See all I need are WHISPERS in a world that only shouts" Gives me chills everytime. Love this song so much. The build up is incredible to listen to and even better to watch. Thanks Mike and team! Love y'all.
I'm also ashamed to say that I did not know who you were, until searching concerts that I work!Bands like arcade fire, imagine dragons, mumford and sons and ed sheeran.I am Old (52) but a stagehand and love to experience new music!I don't even know how to download a song! (I don't have a 12yr old!)I was just surfing you tube in search of "Rare Hidden Gems," and you blew me away!I will buy your albums if I can figure out how to download them!I wish I could walk into a record store and buy all of your new albums!(I know you will have many and I would buy them all!)I got into country, (Love Johnny Reid.) So I miss out on gems like this, but I also love CKUA a folk music type listener supported radio!Your Music should be played on both of these stations, because you are that Brilliant and it makes the other new bands, naff in comparison!Amazingly Unique voice and so simplistic but surreal videos!
Hands down anything by you is my favorite, when I heard your music I instantly fell in love. thank you for the most beautiful and perfect music. I love all your albums.
Seldom has a singer / songwriter touched me this deeply , Passenger had me from the beginning and still has , just purely beautiful . Thank you man you’re really something else . 💋
Return from the Hospital a few hours ago and nothing beats hearing your songs . To whom credit is due thank you for sharing this link. Living my best chapter yet in life.
Thank you for inspiring me to write like this Mike...wrote it whilst listening to your awesome tracks...all of them. BATTLE SCARS AND ELECTRIC CARS. Verse 1 Ohhh the old soldier gazed out, ...From his front window, in a daze, For the first time in his life, He suddenly look phased, His old rented flat, And just memories to look back..on, ..Are all he has now, Since his mind turned upside down, CHORUS OHH..HOW OUR LIVES GO TO VARIOUS PLACES, FILLING OUR DAYS WITH DIFFERENT FACES, AND LIFE, LIFE, MAY AS WELL LEAVE US ON ...MARS, OR HERE ON..PLANET EARTH, CRYING, DYING BUY TRYING TO DEAL WITH... OLD BATTLE SCARS...AND ELECTRIC CARS. OLD BATTLE SCARS...AND ELECTRIC CARS. VERSE 2 Now i'm the one gazing out, ..Of my window here, And for the first time in my life, ..I too, taste fear, A fear of all wars, That centuries have sent forth, And all i see again now, Are soldiers sent to battle, once more. CHORUS here again. BRIDGE to final CHORUS. OH ..LESSONS STILL NEED TO BE HEEDED, BEFORE ALL LIE HERE BLEEDIN', ..OR THEY'RE LEFT STARING THROUGH THEIR WINDOW PANES, DREAMING OF COMRADES FALLING IN FIELDS FULL OF PAIN AND RAIN. CHORUS here. F i n i t o SONIC FOXX(COPYRIGHTED 2015)
I have all this music both digitally and on CD’s but saw this and had to listen especially to Golden Leaves bc I was talking today about how I’ve been married for 42 years and we’ve been together so long we don’t need to talk. We already know what the other is thinking quite often. How did you know this Mike?
im ashamed to admit i havent heard of anything that passenger did before now but that will change. this album is quality both in composition and performance and i am the better for listening to it. quality in lyrics and pure liquid poetry that flows right to your soul. wonderful and thank you so much for sharing it
mi vida dale vida húngara de pravia a mis poemas te esperó la enfermedad remite estoy mejor es culpa del café llevaré una vida sana its says a crossroads remember darling il fuoi Lorenzo et ítem dio ormai shefer?wuu!!!
Oh...so many times my heart has been on fire. It burns out eventually and I think that pain is over with...but then it flares up again. I'm almost 70 and it still burns, late at night, when I must pay attention to it.
@Passenger I'm glad I crossed your way, it's genuinely one of the things of which I'm extremely proud. Your music made me who I am, saved my life, helped me go through the shittiest situations and still doing it. Your music got me to meet the most beautiful things that ever happened to me, the best of them is a person. Although I know you won't be reading my comment as it sinks in this ocean of beautiful messages, It doesn't keep me from expressing my eternal gratitude, THANK YOU.
For some reason.....the day after the Paris attacks....this gorgeous gorgeous song holds even more meaning. This world could be...and should be.....such a better world. Listen to Passenger's music. Both his melodies ...and his words....add great credence to our need to be "better people". Let's just DO it ! now!!! We have already wasted far, far too much time. xoxo
I am obsessed with this music. As a Baby Boomer, I graduated High School in 76, and boy oh boy were those 70's fantastic. Don't regret anything. It has been a struggle to enjoy some of the "newer" music, and for whatever reason, I am just getting into this TH-cam stuff. I found you yesterday, and I hear my generation through this music so much. The hope the dreams, sad and willowy, and upbeat. I was a Cat Stevens fan and still enjoy his older music for the most part. I hear a bit of Cat Stevens and others too. Your Voice is full of magic, love your guitar and your back up horns and violins, complex yet so fresh and free...wow I guess I could just go on and on, I can't wait to more, however, I will most likely listen to this over and over....and over..Like I said I am obsessed!
I am gob smacked I thought that this was a pirated youtube stream very brave move giving the album free on youtube. I have to say that this is one of the best albums that I have listened too in a long time. I only started listening because I found 27 but then I thought it was American until I googled and wiki so nice to see a English/British lad doing well.
Well it still gets veiws, the more veiws, the more money. Of coarse u gotta watch ot for a while, so he can get a veiw. Its not like u listen to it for one second, then move on. That doesn't count as a veiw
This is a Beautiful, Heart tuggin , Emotion pulling. real album .... Mike must be a very proud man. Real heart felt song writing. And to be part of such a wonderfully talented band/s! ....
I didn't know much about you, just your famous song Let Her Go. I went to your concert in NYC, Central Park, and fell in love with you and your amazing performance!! What a unique concert, so honest! Congratulations and keep it up!
I flew on a trip that provided this album and others on board and needless to say, this one made the trip very, very amusing. I love you for this music!
Tried to held up the tears through the whole album, but when the last song started so did the tears and I couldnt stop them. Damn, it's like he's reading me
Hey bud, this is some of the most special music I've ever heard. I'm actually on my sister's comp.. my two beautiful nieces, sister and bro-in-law, all hung out today putting up the Christmas tree, we all listened to the whole album. I will tell you something; growing up with people in a small town(city)lol, which a number of them have been in bands.. I so wish I had someone around me like you, you'r music is so personal to me, it's hard to put into words. I can just drowned out into the music. I'ts actually very peaceful and soothing to a hardened road which a' many of us in the masses have had to go through. We all have a story, yet you can touch so many with what you do.. Keep it up bro.. J. Hall
Your songs are pure poetry. You’re a real word smith. Thank you for bring emotion back to a dark soul. After years of not being able to cope with the emotions music brings to me, you’re music and words have enabled me to start to open that part of myself again. I’ve even been thinking about starting to write my own poetry again. Wether a particular song makes me feel low or more upbeat, it makes me feel and that’s the magic you hold. I truly believe it’s this sort of thing that can save life’s. My deepest thanks an love to all.
Thank you Passenger for making music for the collective soul 🙏 ❤️ you have pulled me through some tough times. You're one of the best artists! With love
I regret every day that has passed since this album came out that I haven't been listening to it. I cannot believe I just now discovered this amazing music that I have been missing out on!!
The 'Passenger' I didn't know I'd pick up yesterday on the road called life. I felt as though life was devouring me. Thank you for feeding my soul. This music is breathing life and courage back into me 💛
I love how honest your music is. I've been addicted for a few years now, and all your lyrics are so true. Somehow you really know how to share a feeling or story with only your guitar and your voice. I get shivers every time i listen to riding to new york and i wanna dance every time i hear thunder. I love your music, you're amazing.
I'm falling in love with this album, more and more each day. I'm sitting here editing my new novel, and this music is perfect. Thank you for Rolling Stone, and the rest of the tracks.
Your music truly saved my life more than once, im 26 with 2 children and theres only 1 'celebrity' in the world that id be keen to meet. And its you, to thank you for your beautiful music
Every time I hear 'Riding to New York' I feel like a step into the shoes of the man in the song and kind of imagine how he would be feeling. It always puts such an emotional lump in my throat. So powerful.
Today the gynecologist told me that I will probably never be able to have children. I have come home and put this album on. Thanks for making me feel less lonely
*Coins In A Fountain* Fear is dark but my love is a lantern Shining up like coins in a fountain Hope is a tree sitting on a mountain where the grass don’t grow There’s a sad old sea but my love is an island Wild and free like the hills in the highlands Hope is a breeze that brings me back to dry land Where the flowers grow Love is a baby born Love is the last unicorn Love is the only song i’ll sing Hate is a poison Love is a remedy Singing out like the sweetest of melodies Hope is a ghost in the deepest of memories Stronger than ten of me Fear is the enemy In the dark and it creeps like a shark In the coldest sea In the deepest part but Hope is the beat in the oldest heart A hand in a hand and a brand new start Love is a fireside Warm on the coldest of nights Love is the only song I’ll sing Love is the truest of words Love is the last winter bird Love is the only song I’ll sing Oh I’ll sing Til I can’t sing no more Oh I’ll sing Til my throat is sore
Your music is so comforting it makes me happy and relax especially when I'm down I turn to your music and I fee so happy. Thank you guys so much . I know words cannot explain the way I feel when I listen to your music thanks
Everytime I listen to whispers, I try my best to have the lyrics with me. I want to ensure no single word passes me by; I want to feel the emotion of Michael: why is he so happy at a particular point? Why is he frustrated at another? Then why do I feel the same way? ITS JUST ALL RELATABLE AND TRUE. PASSENGER DESERVES SO MUCH RESPECT. MUSIC CANT BE SO GOOD YET SO REAL. If I were to write music, this is how exactly I would do it. AGELESS

so did you reached 81? 🤔
Still waiting and hoping for an answer.@@prajwalhiremath3248
2023 and we are still here. How time flies by.
To all who comes for this masterpiece, today or tomorrow, you are one of our kind.
And 'Scare Away The Dark' is still such a valid anthem.
@@podgorskakatarzynamy absolute favorite 💐
This music is like whispers, in a world that only shouts.
Because the true words are barely heard, and false hope is stuck in our minds.
So true! Reading this comment in 2020 and I just want to cry!
Don't, it's 2021 now!
Oh that's deep
2024 , just read your comment !
So many artists albums only have two or three great songs. But every single song on this album is amazingly perfect!
I agree.
I absolutely agree with you
You know thats a real thing. 😉
Ha ha ha
It’s 2024 and we’re still listening. Thank you Passengers 🎉

When it was my birthday, I played this playlist.

When she left me in middle of nowhere, I played this playlist.
When my friend left the bond we shared, I played this playlist.
When I felt alone, I played this playlist.
When I cried or laughed, I played this playlist.
When my innerchild enjoyed with joy, I played this playlist.
When I will again find someone meaningful, I'll play this playlist.
When I'll be living the last few days of my life, I'll play this playlist.
Always grateful to you, for putting your heart out and singing these beautiful songs.
I'll keep these songs as a souvenir❤
That song "Bullets" really got to me. One man's trash is another man's treasure! When you get old, the most trivial little thing can mean everything.
These are the types of people I like: not corrupted by money and greed, but instead dedicated to giving great music to the public to enjoy :).
Mike, I don't think that you even realise how beautiful and pefect your music is. When I lisend to you... I feel so happy an I just know that everyting will be alwright... even in the darkest of all the hours. I can't even start to describe how amazing I find your music : I only can try.

These are not just songs, they are all the emotions that we have deep rooted inside us.
Everyone's filling me up with noise and I don't know what they're talking about. All I need is a whisper in a world that only shouts.
Passenger is more than just an artiste, he is an angel, and a gift to humanity and the entire music world. His lyrics are deep and the sound will just make you emotional and think.
9 years after and still a beautiful master piece.

Great work Passenger, your music never ceases to amaze me...
The music you write and play can only be surpassed by the chords that cherubs strum on harps in Heaven. I can’t stop listening to this masterpiece of an album. Thank you for every song, every lyric, every note, and every memory that was birthed from your songs.

You deserve all the best in this world Mike. You have no idea how much you changed my life. Dont ever sell out. Dont ever be like all the other artist in this world.
And the fact that you decide to upload your whole album without thinking about any money to earn just is incrediable. I will never stop supporting you. Thank you once again for everything.
My first time hearing 27 and as I am 27 years old, I can relate to a lot of it. Lovely album and I can't wait to hear more from you! Hope to meet you some day and get to shake your hand. Wishful thinking is the way to making dreams come true.

Music like this really confirms my belief that songs are the best form of poetry. Wish I could write stuff so interesting and true.
Whispers has become not only my favourite Passenger album but my favourite album of all time. It's up there with the greatest hits of Simon & Garfunkel, Cat Stevens, Don McLean and Leonard Cohen. None of those has an individual album I love as much as this. I suspect I'll still be listening to it in 20 years time. Right - back to the music!
Passenger,
In love with your spirit and passion. Your songs have helped me through some tough mornings.
I honestly didn't think I would ever find such beautiful music of my era. I always found myself listening to music of the past, and I could never connect to the music of modern day. But listening to you has shown me there's some hope for music....... Your music moves me every time I listen... Thank you so much.... Blessings from the Caribbean :)
Can we take a moment to recognize the superb use of annotations on this
The reason I love passengers music is because it gives me memories when my dad first played the little lights album to me and the music actually has meaning and emotion and it's raw
The lyrics...." I don't give a fuck if it gets on the charts" is DEEP! And people are always judging your minds is potent! Love this guys voice and his music. Just discovered him last night.:)
On days I feel particularly down, I turn to Passenger's music. I listen to them on happy days and on nostalgic days too, but on tearful days the words touch my heart even more than usual.
Riding to New York... So emotional
one of my favorites
Best damned song he's ever written in my humble opinion.
I remember hearing about the story of Bullets. There was an old man who, since his childhood, he collected bullets and had a lifetime of a bullet collection. One day his house was robbed, and the thieves thought the bullets in the man’s house were useable. They weren’t. They were old shell casings. They were his lifetime, with each bullet he collected having a story and memory. All of those stories and memories are gone. All he was left with were a few bullets. Truly tragic tale
Wow. True story?
@@kawesarichard971yup it’s mentioned in the official insert
Hi, I know you have probably had a lot of these messages lately but I just wanted to say thank you. I first found you by accident when I searched up something about unicorns and your song popped up, since then I have been hooked and can't stop listening to you. Also, at that time I was suffering with some depression which still comes and goes but by putting one of your songs on I can forget about it and smile again. Thank you for that, and keep up the good work, the world needs more people like you
Stick with it Ewok, no need to be lonely with music and generous and talented people in the world such as Mike :-)
Capt Monoski Aha, cheers :)
Unicorns seriously friggin unicorns
Rico de grijs Yea he has a song called "The Last Unicorn" its pretty cool
on the same page you and me hope you are well this also helps hari krishna
his music feels like home.
Imagine stumbling across this album in fifty years time and finding out that Mike is still singing...it would be like striking gold.
You'd want to buy a ticket.
David i just really want to thank you for your honesty in your songs. There are very few artists out there who make music to truly express them self and care about quality over profits. I was never a fan of this type of music to be honest but i listen to your albums almost every day. Keep making and believing in your art and talents, and dreams. Keep it up man and best of luck with every aspect of your life.
Two Hike who is david
Just bought your album because this was on youtube. You are a poet.
'Everyone's filling me up with noise, I don't know what they're talking about. See all I need are WHISPERS in a world that only shouts" Gives me chills everytime. Love this song so much. The build up is incredible to listen to and even better to watch. Thanks Mike and team! Love y'all.
I'm also ashamed to say that I did not know who you were, until searching concerts that I work!Bands like arcade fire, imagine dragons, mumford and sons and ed sheeran.I am Old (52) but a stagehand and love to experience new music!I don't even know how to download a song! (I don't have a 12yr old!)I was just surfing you tube in search of "Rare Hidden Gems," and you blew me away!I will buy your albums if I can figure out how to download them!I wish I could walk into a record store and buy all of your new albums!(I know you will have many and I would buy them all!)I got into country, (Love Johnny Reid.) So I miss out on gems like this, but I also love CKUA a folk music type listener supported radio!Your Music should be played on both of these stations, because you are that Brilliant and it makes the other new bands, naff in comparison!Amazingly Unique voice and so simplistic but surreal videos!
Rare Hidden Gems......youtube JASMINE LAMPORT ORIGINAL AUDIOS.................................enjoy
😍
thanks to you i now exactly know the keyword to search for in youtube! :)
This is the kind of music that makes you feel something, not sadness but you feel stillness and peace.
Very well said
Except with the #10 💀
Hands down anything by you is my favorite, when I heard your music I instantly fell in love. thank you for the most beautiful and perfect music. I love all your albums.
passenger lights on my heart a brilliant light and full of love!!!!
Seldom has a singer / songwriter touched me this deeply , Passenger had me from the beginning and still has , just purely beautiful . Thank you man you’re really something else . 💋
Nothing makes me happier than hearing these songs, they're good and wholesome.
Return from the Hospital a few hours ago and nothing beats hearing your songs . To whom credit is due thank you for sharing this link. Living my best chapter yet in life.
Thank you for inspiring me to write like this Mike...wrote it whilst listening to your awesome tracks...all of them.
BATTLE SCARS AND ELECTRIC CARS.
Verse 1
Ohhh the old soldier gazed out,
...From his front window, in a daze,
For the first time in his life,
He suddenly look phased,
His old rented flat,
And just memories to look back..on,
..Are all he has now,
Since his mind turned upside down,
CHORUS
OHH..HOW OUR LIVES GO TO VARIOUS PLACES,
FILLING OUR DAYS WITH DIFFERENT FACES,
AND LIFE, LIFE, MAY AS WELL LEAVE US ON ...MARS,
OR HERE ON..PLANET EARTH,
CRYING, DYING BUY TRYING TO DEAL WITH...
OLD BATTLE SCARS...AND ELECTRIC CARS.
OLD BATTLE SCARS...AND ELECTRIC CARS.
VERSE 2
Now i'm the one gazing out,
..Of my window here,
And for the first time in my life,
..I too, taste fear,
A fear of all wars,
That centuries have sent forth,
And all i see again now,
Are soldiers sent to battle, once more.
CHORUS here again.
BRIDGE to final CHORUS.
OH ..LESSONS STILL NEED TO BE HEEDED,
BEFORE ALL LIE HERE BLEEDIN',
..OR THEY'RE LEFT STARING THROUGH THEIR WINDOW PANES,
DREAMING OF COMRADES FALLING IN FIELDS FULL OF PAIN AND RAIN.
CHORUS here.

I have all this music both digitally and on CD’s but saw this and had to listen especially to Golden Leaves bc I was talking today about how I’ve been married for 42 years and we’ve been together so long we don’t need to talk. We already know what the other is thinking quite often. How did you know this Mike?
im ashamed to admit i havent heard of anything that passenger did before now but that will change. this album is quality both in composition and performance and i am the better for listening to it. quality in lyrics and pure liquid poetry that flows right to your soul. wonderful and thank you so much for sharing it

Oh...so many times my heart has been on fire. It burns out eventually and I think that pain is over with...but then it flares up again. I'm almost 70 and it still burns, late at night, when I must pay attention to it.
"Written six hundred songs, only twelve get sang..."

I sing them all!
Huge fan
@Passenger
I'm glad I crossed your way, it's genuinely one of the things of which I'm extremely proud. Your music made me who I am, saved my life, helped me go through the shittiest situations and still doing it. Your music got me to meet the most beautiful things that ever happened to me, the best of them is a person. Although I know you won't be reading my comment as it sinks in this ocean of beautiful messages, It doesn't keep me from expressing my eternal gratitude, THANK YOU.
For some reason.....the day after the Paris attacks....this gorgeous gorgeous song holds even more meaning. This world could be...and should be.....such a better world. Listen to Passenger's music. Both his melodies ...and his words....add great
credence to our need to be "better people". Let's just DO it ! now!!! We have already wasted far, far too much time. xoxo
I am obsessed with this music. As a Baby Boomer, I graduated High School in 76, and boy oh boy were those 70's fantastic. Don't regret anything. It has been a struggle to enjoy some of the "newer" music, and for whatever reason, I am just getting into this TH-cam stuff. I found you yesterday, and I hear my generation through this music so much. The hope the dreams, sad and willowy, and upbeat. I was a Cat Stevens fan and still enjoy his older music for the most part. I hear a bit of Cat Stevens and others too. Your Voice is full of magic, love your guitar and your back up horns and violins, complex yet so fresh and free...wow I guess I could just go on and on, I can't wait to more, however, I will most likely listen to this over and over....and over..Like I said I am obsessed!
I am gob smacked I thought that this was a pirated youtube stream very brave move giving the album free on youtube. I have to say that this is one of the best albums that I have listened too in a long time. I only started listening because I found 27 but then I thought it was American until I googled and wiki so nice to see a English/British lad doing well.
Did you just upload your whole new album on youtube? Seriously.
I love you, like always.
Best luck
Well it still gets veiws, the more veiws, the more money. Of coarse u gotta watch ot for a while, so he can get a veiw. Its not like u listen to it for one second, then move on. That doesn't count as a veiw
Plus people are all ready gonna put his album on TH-cam anyway
this is my favorite album of all times ever in life... just wow. every song is perfection!!! i wish they'll keep making music forever
This is a Beautiful, Heart tuggin , Emotion pulling. real album .... Mike must be a very proud man. Real heart felt song writing. And to be part of such a wonderfully talented band/s! ....
I bought this cd for my daughter today. The music heads right for the soul, uplifting it and warming it. Beautiful
I didn't know much about you, just your famous song Let Her Go. I went to your concert in NYC, Central Park, and fell in love with you and your amazing performance!! What a unique concert, so honest!
Congratulations and keep it up!
I flew on a trip that provided this album and others on board and needless to say, this one made the trip very, very amusing. I love you for this music!
awesome songs...Unbelievable lyrics...he is a real poet...very talented
my fav album! who is still here listening 2020?
@@jonafetacderas6285 I am. Im here listening to it all. Gid bless him
Tried to held up the tears through the whole album, but when the last song started so did the tears and I couldnt stop them. Damn, it's like he's reading me
He gentley whispers in your ears with his beautifull voice........taking you into throes......of.....extecy......passion.....
Hey bud, this is some of the most special music I've ever heard. I'm actually on my sister's comp.. my two beautiful nieces, sister and bro-in-law, all hung out today putting up the Christmas tree, we all listened to the whole album. I will tell you something; growing up with people in a small town(city)lol, which a number of them have been in bands.. I so wish I had someone around me like you, you'r music is so personal to me, it's hard to put into words. I can just drowned out into the music. I'ts actually very peaceful and soothing to a hardened road which a' many of us in the masses have had to go through. We all have a story, yet you can touch so many with what you do.. Keep it up bro.. J. Hall
I’ll never love a musician the way I love passenger !
Your songs are pure poetry. You’re a real word smith. Thank you for bring emotion back to a dark soul. After years of not being able to cope with the emotions music brings to me, you’re music and words have enabled me to start to open that part of myself again. I’ve even been thinking about starting to write my own poetry again. Wether a particular song makes me feel low or more upbeat, it makes me feel and that’s the magic you hold. I truly believe it’s this sort of thing that can save life’s.
My deepest thanks an love to all.
Thank you Passenger for making music for the collective soul 🙏 ❤️ you have pulled me through some tough times. You're one of the best artists! With love
I regret every day that has passed since this album came out that I haven't been listening to it. I cannot believe I just now discovered this amazing music that I have been missing out on!!
The 'Passenger' I didn't know I'd pick up yesterday on the road called life. I felt as though life was devouring me. Thank you for feeding my soul. This music is breathing life and courage back into me 💛
I absolutely LOVE you Mike!
I don't even know what to say because no words can do justice. You're amazing.
Thank you for helping me out through the hardest part of life with your great work
All Beautiful !!
I love how honest your music is. I've been addicted for a few years now, and all your lyrics are so true. Somehow you really know how to share a feeling or story with only your guitar and your voice. I get shivers every time i listen to riding to new york and i wanna dance every time i hear thunder. I love your music, you're amazing.
Riding to New York... So emotional
I haven't heard something so beautiful since the 70's BRAVO
I'm falling in love with this album, more and more each day. I'm sitting here editing my new novel, and this music is perfect. Thank you for Rolling Stone, and the rest of the tracks.
Your music truly saved my life more than once, im 26 with 2 children and theres only 1 'celebrity' in the world that id be keen to meet. And its you, to thank you for your beautiful music
every single lyric, every single song touched my soul. i feel understood. this album is truly a masterpiece. well done!
Every time I hear 'Riding to New York' I feel like a step into the shoes of the man in the song and kind of imagine how he would be feeling. It always puts such an emotional lump in my throat. So powerful.
I love most of your songs.. One of them is I don't want the devil to take my soul. Whew.
Hate is a poison Love a remedy,,, Love is the last unicorn.

Today the gynecologist told me that I will probably never be able to have children. I have come home and put this album on. Thanks for making me feel less lonely
Probably "sister"Probably
Not for sure
Faith ❤❤❤❤
poor baby, you might adopt ?
God be with you sis. Praying for you
And that doesn't make you any less of a woman!
Probably is where Jesus works
Well you only need a Passenger's "Whispers" when you feeling low
"Outstanding Album Kudos to Passenger!"
*Coins In A Fountain*
Fear is dark but my love is a lantern
Shining up like coins in a fountain
Hope is a tree sitting on a mountain where the grass don’t grow
There’s a sad old sea but my love is an island
Wild and free like the hills in the highlands
Hope is a breeze that brings me back to dry land
Where the flowers grow
Love is a baby born
Love is the last unicorn
Love is the only song i’ll sing
Hate is a poison
Love is a remedy
Singing out like the sweetest of melodies
Hope is a ghost in the deepest of memories
Stronger than ten of me
Fear is the enemy
In the dark and it creeps like a shark
In the coldest sea
In the deepest part but
Hope is the beat in the oldest heart
A hand in a hand and a brand new start
Love is a fireside
Warm on the coldest of nights
Love is the only song I’ll sing
Love is the truest of words
Love is the last winter bird
Love is the only song I’ll sing
Oh I’ll sing
Til I can’t sing no more
Oh I’ll sing
Til my throat is sore
amazing thank u
I think I'm now old enough to understand the deepness of your songs. Riding to New York had me in tears.
I love Passenger so much.
I still enjoy his music because it's like honey to my ears. Smooth, relaxing, simple. Wonderful.
Your music is so comforting it makes me happy and relax especially when I'm down I turn to your music and I fee so happy. Thank you guys so much . I know words cannot explain the way I feel when I listen to your music thanks
Everytime I listen to whispers, I try my best to have the lyrics with me. I want to ensure no single word passes me by; I want to feel the emotion of Michael: why is he so happy at a particular point? Why is he frustrated at another? Then why do I feel the same way? ITS JUST ALL RELATABLE AND TRUE. PASSENGER DESERVES SO MUCH RESPECT. MUSIC CANT BE SO GOOD YET SO REAL. If I were to write music, this is how exactly I would do it. AGELESS
This is one of his best albums
