hey everyone !!
i just wanted to share this little video that we made ….
for those of you that have been following for a while , you might remember the “sunday night video” series that we made with the once and stu larsen a couple of years ago as we toured across america ?
basically we picked a cover song relating to a city that we were passing through . we would then play it at every show for a week before recording and filming a live version that we’d post up on youtube and Facebook etc ….
i look back so fondly on those videos and feel like they were a really cool way of keeping you guys up to date with where we were . plus it was loads of fun .
so ……
we’re gonna do it again only this time i don’t think the songs will necessarily have much to do with where we are - just some of our / your favourites .
also my amazing sound guys have cobbled together a mobile recording rig which means we can record without needing any power - this allows us to hopefully get out in to some really cool spots .
bellow is our first attempt …. the song is “losing my religion” by the mighty R.E.M and we shot it by tower bridge in london .
massive thanks to my incredible band and crew for working so hard on their "days off" to make these videos happen and of course to the incredibly talented Jarrad Seng for shooting it so beautifully .
please share it around as much as possible and also let us know what songs you want to hear in the comments section below (not "let it go" haha ;-))

Oh life, is bigger
It's bigger than you
And you are not me
The lengths that I will go to
The distance in your eyes
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spot-light
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
Every whisper, of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this, the hint of the century
Consider this the slip
That brought me to my knees, failed
What if all these fantasies come
Flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
That was just a dream
That's me in the corner
That's me in the spot-light
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
Try, cry, fly, try
That was just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream, dream
When I first heard Passenger it was at a small gig in a town called Bellingen in Australia, and I just sort of stumbled across it. As it was in a small cafe I went to the first "official" looking person and asked where I paid. He gave me a huge smile and said he thought it was inside somewhere. Turned out that guy was Passenger and I've been listening to him ever since.
cool story...
I uncovered him the „ususal way“ through Let her go. But then about a year later I got Spotify and could, for the first time afford to listen to a full album (before that I could only buy a handful of songs on iTunes with my pocket money) and that first album was All the little Lights, wich is still one of my all time favorite records!
And that was eight years ago, almost half of my entire life and ever since he has been along the top 3 artists I’ve listened to most. He has become such an important part of my life and I am incredibly thankful for that.

such talent, awesome voice, so much emotion in every song he sings. i was lucky enough to see him perform once made me tear up that time! ill never forget that concert! love artists like this!
Passenger merece mucho más reconocimiento es tremendo artista xd
the cameraman has really shot this wonderfully, and the voice
i think its Jarrad Seng.
who ever the camera man is for passenger...he always does an amazing job
couldn't agree more!!!
***** no.
thanks sachindra ;)
Nice cover! The *last minute* is the BEST PART of the cover because it's when Mike sings as Mike and takes his voice style out, endorsing the song.
his voice is beautifully innocent. it's very interesting with this song. I really like this.
last year I was in London with my friends, and one evening a band was playing this song in the rain, beautiful memories..
I love his voice, it's so original.
I first found Passenger in the budwiser commercials and since then I've loved everything they've done! I love hearing these covers of my favorite 90's bands! Fast car and this song is the best thing i've heard covered in a long time!
Hello Melinda how are you doing?
I JUST found Passenger a week ago when I saw a blind audition of Riding to New York in Germany.
Dropped everything and googled the song and artist. Can not believe I missed all of this amazing music for a full decade or more!
Doing my damndest to catch up now.
OH MY GOD IT'S THE BUDWEISER PUPPY COMMERCIAL SONG???
HOW DID I NOT NOTICE???
*hangs head in shame*
@@klc4023 Hello Lorraine where are you originally from?
@@barrymarcus9874
From a place that educates it's women well enough to know a fake profile pic implying military service when they see it.
you´re one of the best muscisans... wandering, making music, feeling hearts of golds and filling them with pure love ---- thanks a lot --- thank you youtube
Love his voice so much! And his vibe! Thanks for your music!
Me encanta esta banda! Sus videos otorgan la visión de paisajes de otro modo, de un modo de disfrute que afianzan las ganas de viajar por todo el mundo, escuchando buena música, como ésta, claro.
the beauty in the singing of "try ...[and] that was just a dream" part. 😢😢
2119 Damn never could/ can anyone improve this song ever yet however I am blown away that REM gave permission for this… All these years later I still enjoy & loving the especially acoustic’s plus vocal. R.E.M. you will sustain my heart ❤️. Yet thankfully Passenger I enjoy & brought special memories of friend back to heart. Libb you live on my heart. Blessings
Wicked game by chris isaak..
your wicked voice can make this song more wicked
Wicked idea
@@liltygrrgaming796 True
You should listen to his song Wicked man's rest of the album Wicked man's rest. Enjoy it.
This man's voice is just impeccable
Oh life, it's bigger

Oh no, I've said too much

I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
Well, I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
Just a dream
Every whisper
Of every waking hour
I'm choosing my confessions
Trying to keep an eye on you
Like a hurt, lost and blinded fool, fool
Oh no, I've said too much
I set it up
Consider this
Consider this, the tip of the century
Consider this, the slip
That brought me to my knees
What if all these fantasies come
Flailing around
Now I've said too much
I thought that I heard you laughing
I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try

Oh no, I've said too much

I thought that I heard you sing
I think I thought I saw you try
But that was just a dream
Why do you try
Why do you try
That was just a dream
Just a dream
Just a dream

This guy can walk up anywhere and just play. The crowds. Love it Wow.
I would love to see you do a Keane cover. I don't know...a song like Time To Go, or Difficult Child. Or Bedshaped.
The lovers are losing!!!!!!!!!
I'm agree, but i prefere "Everybody Changing"😊
Celi Méndez somewhere only we know 😍
covering 'Time To Go' would be killer....
This is the last time :)
Out of all the covers, I really like this one the best so far. It just works with his voice. It also has so much more energy than the others. :D
Energia positiva de la vida a tots ....gràcies
Mike has a Midas touch or should I say voice, whatever he sings he turns that into glittering gold.
A Michael covering one the best songs ever , written by a Michael , an outstanding singer and songwriter !! I prefer the original but it is a very good cover .
This is one of my favorite songs ever... I always go into covers already thinking they will suck and most of the times I'm right... but this cover is beautiful... from the soft care to de music to the voice it's amazing how it came out... I want to cover this one myself with the band I'm putting together... let's see how I do it...
I wish he covers creep by radiohead
Dude, that would be awsome
i second that, totally!
Have you seen the version of that in the Book of Life?
I wish he covers "No Surprises" by Radiohead
Radiohead got other songs that are way better than Creep.
only beautiful soul can sing like this...pure soul...
Just like everything Michael Passenger does... special! I love the original song and I loved this version too.
What an amazing cover of one of my all time favorite songs. Beautiful work Passenger :)
saludos desde Colombia, tu música no tiene comparación 💚💚
This takes me back to middle school I was 9 when this song came out. Quite possibly my favorite r.e.m song.
Wow *,* i can say just wow wow wooow 😍
Please help me get in contact with Mike. My best friend has been suffering through cancer for 3 years, earlier this month her and her family received the devastating news that she has less than a year to live. She's 16 years old and has listened to passenger on repeat since I met her. I want to see if there's anything he can do to put a little smile on her gorgeous face; she deserves the world after what she's been through. I know there's likely a lot of things like this, I'm not expecting anything to come from it but you never know if you don't try.
Thank you!!!
Overwhelmed with joy; one favorite covering another.
I just wanna know the method in his madness!
One of the best covers for this great song
suas músicas são maravilhosas, sua voz é linda.
Br por aqui :D
My favourite REM Song and you're covering it 😵😵😵😁👍🎼💯
Love his voice
What the hell I can't stop listening to this !!
AMAZING, guys! Congratulations! Please, sing one of Damien Rice's songs, Mike. It'll be amazing! Damien Rice it's such a meaningful artist, it will be incredible! PLEASE, PLEASE, sing one of Damien songs! (ps. The Smiths and Radiohead songs would be amazing too! LOL
Mariana Crisp Folster I totally agree with you lady, "under the tongue" by Damien Rice would be a great cover!
+Marco Simoni I agree too ;)
i would love any Of damiens songs covered by passenger.
" I don't wanna change you" or " my favorite faded fantasy" would be grate
You know when you hear a song that gives you goose bumps... Yeah me too :-) Thank you Passenger. Love it!
Wow! Awesome version of a classic REM song. Love the vocals. Thx

I would love to hear you do 9 crimes by damien rice, since that is my favorite song and you are my favorite artist the mix would be pure gold! By the way, really love your album thank you for always keeping my ears happy :)
There's nothing wrong bout this. I absolutely loved it
This song has always been done amazingly by so many people including of course REM
i love it that mike always writes such long messages in the description box. it makes me feel more connected to him then i've ever been❤
Mate, you have an absolutely amazing voice, you are an idol to me and I really look up to you
xx
I don't know if you're into it, but I'd love it if you would cover some classic Coldplay (like "trouble" or "we never change")
Floris Bordewijk violet hill :)
Or Fix You!
KilljoyGames2019 Don't get me wrong, I really love fix you, but I think Coldplay has done better
yes!! they should do something from the parachutes album!! don't panic would also be cool :-)
or even Shiver or Spies
Вот!!! Это 'Пассенджер"❤, огромного счастья в жизни вам,крепкого здоровья, и продолжения успехов в вашем творчестве,, пусть Муза никогда не покидает вас❤😊
his voice is amazing. One of a kind
O melhor até agora! 👍👍👍
Oh,God... I miss R.E.M.
feel u
me too
idem
Luis Alberto Pérez Nájera I miss my father,but I have a photo of him...
damn dude .. your reply ! very well described
I wondered briefly if Mike would do a different take on this and the intro made me think he might have... but he didn't. he didn't try to change it. Didn't try nor fail to make it better.
It's just him. Singing a song he likes. Heartfelt. Nice.
love when people say its bad yes its not the original but it is still good..and passenger has an interesting voice
This is amazing, incredible. Even entrancing.
Excellent job! Love your version! Thank you : )
LOVE IT. Passenger always is the best.
my favorite song from one of my favorite singers
if you could cover 5 years by Bowie that would be amazing
00"oth 9
I like all your covers more than the originals that I always adored!
פסח שמח, מיכאל!
