Also the stories he told we either funny, inspiring,beautiful or all of the above. Personally 2 songs with him and maybe a bit of dialogue would have been awesome, but this was awesome tooįurthermore the way Passenger thanked the audience and his sincerity while doing so felt super nice. The addition of the simon and garfunkel cover was really nice, but I felt that the paul simon cover was kinda out of place and I would rather have seen a song from passenger.Īlso the fact that Ed came was really cool. Still, the concert was nicely balanced, the mix between depressing songs and up tempo was okay, personally would have enjoyed more misery. So this might make my opinion a bit biased. I am a huge passenger fan, and I am familiar with every song. a hugely versatile, talented and inspirational performer.īasically the best concert I have ever attended.
i saw him at the eventim apollo which is really quite big and yet his music can be scaled right down and work perfectly in a much smaller venue.
personally i don't feel that venue size makes a huge amount of difference. if you get the chance i would absolutely recommend you go and see him. for me it was the best concert i have ever been to. with minimal lighting, special effects and even backing musicians his performance was utterly captivating. his stage presence, live music and ability to engage and audience of 5,000 for and hour and a half, both getting them up onvtheir feet singing and keeping them completely silent, was spellbounding. as a busker it is to be expected that his live shows would exceed that of artists who are entirely studio based and that is absolutely accurate. most importantly of course, his music live was completely faultless. mike is such a fantastic showman, the band were great, he engaged the audience so well, was very funny and told fantastic stories about the origins of his songs. Keep on doing what you love, because you are definitely doing good to others. So keep in mind that your fan base is worldwide. As soon as I heard you were playing here I bought a ticket to visit my brother in Lyon and came to spend 2 days here just to see you play live. Once again, thank you for helping me cope with the lost of a loved one.Btw, I'm from Argentina but I'm studying in England. Michael David Rosenberg known by his stage name Passenger, British folk-rock singer-songwriter. This is just a little reminder that even though sometimes we feel like we don't do much, our little gestures (like you struggling to play with your naussea) can have a huge impact on some people. I was standing really close, I dont know if you saw me. I am usually the person who relates to music to face their emotions and life experiences and after my grandfather died on the 27 of december lastyear (2018), your music has helped me to grief it.I even cried like 4 times in your concert tonight. The group Passenger gained some attention at home in the UK with the album Wicked Man's Rest released in 2007. Touring as an opening act for Ed Sheeran has helped bring Passenger to widespread attention. There are also similarities to the work of James Blunt. I wanted to tell you that I went to your concert in Nimes last tonight, where you were feeling bad and I appreciate so much that you went on stage even in your conditions. 'Let Her Go' is a song that will sound like the 1970s work of Cat Stevens for many. Enjoy.Hi Mike, I don't know if you or someone else is gonna read this but it's worth the shot. It’s an excellent introduction to the new material. We wanted an epic visual backdrop to match the feel of the song but also to juxtapose the claustrophobic theme of the lyrics.” The song was included on the ‘Patchwork’ album last summer but this new version is fresh and different enough to have made the cut on the new album too.
We were lucky enough to escape to the beautiful highlands of Scotland to shoot the video. I wrote it in the first lockdown when I was feeling pretty wonky and weird about the world and as a result I feel like it might have captured something that has been universally experienced this year – The way that time has seemed to pass horribly slowly and strangely quickly all at once and the emotional rollercoaster that we have all been on since this thing began. I write a lot of songs and I like most of them, but every now and then one comes along that feels really fresh and exciting. Passenger (also-known-as Mike Rosenberg) says of the song: “When I wrote it, I knew that I’d stumbled across something special. The single coincides with the release of Passenger’s 13th studio album, ‘Songs for the Drunk and Broken Hearted’, which was delayed by the pandemic, allowing for new songs to be written and included. The gorgeous scenery is a match for the beauty of the song. Filmed in the epic Scottish Highlands, here’s the latest video release from Passenger, ‘Sword from the Stone’.
