------------------------------
Passenger was formed in 1995 by Sten and Engelin. Both members wanted to do something that was not Thrash metal or Melodic death metal unlike the bands they played in. At its early stages the band was originally called "Cliff". Under the name Cliff they recorded two demos in Studio Fredman that were never released. After a break in the band and after Engelin was hired as a session guitarist for In Flames' Whoracle tour, Anders FridΓ©n, the vocalist of In Flames showed interest in Passenger and joined the band.
In the year 2000 the band came back from its break and went on to record a demo. In 2001 the band recorded another demo in which early versions of the songs "Used", "In My Head", "Circus" and "Drowning City" were recorded. After a third demo the band finally recorded and released their debut album entitled Passenger. A video for "In Reverse" was also released.
Sten noted in February 2004 on their official website that they were in the process of recording their second album. However, since then, FridΓ©n, lead vocalist of both Passenger and In Flames has been noted saying that he has very little time for the project, due to other commitments, and the group is currently on hold. In an interview with FridΓ©n he stated that as soon as he gets a break from In Flames, he wants to get all the group together to record a second album for early 2010. This did however not happen as Anders continued touring with In Flames until October 2010 when they entered their studio to record their next album.
------------------------------
The brainchild of 26-year-old Brighton born singer/songwriter Mike Rosenberg, Passenger is redefining the troubadour for the 21st century. Formerly a five-piece band, Passenger has now pared back to basics, quite literally bringing music to the streets on a series of lengthy busking journeys across Australia, America and the United Kingdom. A classic journeyman musician, cut from the same mould as Van Morrison, Neil Young and John Prine, Passenger has the unique ability to move from the humorous to heartbreaking with every song.
After a year spent crisscrossing the UK and US with his debut album Wicked Manβs Rest, Passengerβs markedly stripped down and soulful second album Wide Eyes Blind Love was brought to the public as it was created: on the road. Setting up on street corners across the UK and Australia, Passenger halted passers by in their hundreds; all connecting to the mellifluous tones and powerfully hewn lyrics emanating from this lone figure and his guitar. This is music as Passenger means it to be, unvarnished and honest, just pure talent and powerful tunes that tap straight into the heart of the crowd.
Struck by the dynamic freedom of the troubadour life, Passenger developed the grass roots method of Wide Eyes Blind Love into the germ of a new album. Impressively and entirely self funded through busking income, Passenger set about recording a series of collaborations with musical friends met along the way. Flight Of The Crow is the remarkable result of Passengerβs intrepid journey, with Australian artists Lior, Josh Pyke, Katie Noonan, Boy & Bear, Kate Miller Heidke, Philadelphia Grand Jury, Brian Campeau and Elana Stone, Matt Corby, Jess Chalker and Dead Letter Chorus all lending their voices to this serendipitous creative venture. Flight Of The Crow was recorded in Sydneyβs famous BJB studios over February and March of 2010, and co-produced by Berkfinger (AKA Simon Berkleman from Philadelphia Grand Jury).
As a second album born of the road, Flight Of The Crow speaks to the compelling quality of Passengerβs music and the striking sincerity of his lyrics, both of which are matched by his dedication to this grass roots style of craftsmanship and collaboration. How utterly remarkable that a lone musician can travel the globe, and literally from the street, connect with some of Australiaβs finest musical talents to produce a self-funded album. This is the stuff of legend, with Passenger clearly evoking the humble, hardworking creativity of the troubadours of old.

------------------------------
Passenger is an Austin, Texas based MC. Born in Massachusetts, he spent most of his younger days growing up in New York and Houston, Tx eventually moving to Austin, Tx in 1996 attending college to try his hand as a sound engineer. During these years, his musical versatility had him playing bass in an alternative rock band, singing in another side project, DJing house, jungle and hip hop music at various venues in Austin. Eventually he became a full time DJ for the reggae/ska/hiphop/punk band, Indofin, which he was a member for years touring the country. His love for hip hop provoked him to purchase an MPC and has been making beats and rhyming ever since. "The Brick In A Glass House", his debut album, contains production from Nozebleed, Lazerbeak (Doomtree), amongst others as well as his own and has guests from Austin's own Emcee, Justin Cook, Weezel, as well as a few others. Currently, you can find him playing shows around the Austin area and will begin to venturing out to other Texas cities. He is also working on putting together a live band to back him at shows and working on new material.
------------------------------
Passenger is also an old alias of DJ TiΓ«sto. TiΓ«sto only produced 2 tracks under his old Passenger-alias: "Blackspin" and "F.A.H.", both appearing on a record released on Momentum Records in 1996.
------------------------------
Passenger began winter of 2002 when guitarist dustin covert and bassist/vocalist david mata collaborated on the bands first full length "alive" an 8 song full length about a disoriented and dark but intriguing view of love and romance. the album explored dissonant melodies and agonizingly slow chord progressions with the use of mark sampson on drums and sam billen on piano. in 2003 passenger progressed to a four person line up with michael oberlin on drums and james demis on keyboards and sound and began to play various rock venues in chicago, illinois and used silent film to accompany their live performance. numerous line-up changes took effect during the next year and a half, but in 2005 the concrete line-up of Dustin Covert and David D'Antonio on guitars, David Mata on Bass and Samuel Vincent on drums was achieved. In winter of 2005 Passenger recorded "The Owls are Restless", a 2 hour and 40 minute concept record about an ancient war between owls and rabbits and was recorded and engineered by Steve Whitney in a warehouse in Aurora, Illinois. Shortly after the recording drummer Samuel Vincent tragically passed away. Without his talent and with the grief of losing a dear, dear friend the band decided it was impossible to continue performing the material or anything that involved Passenger. These unfortunate events occurred before "The Owls are Restless" was able to achieve any sort of record label attention, and when it finally did it was too late. The remaining musicians have continued creating in their band White Devil, named after the vintage moog synth/organ that Sam would play in collaboration with his drums in Passenger.

Caravan
Passenger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Around this caravan
And watch the flames take all you own
There's a girl who understands
Like the back of her two hands
She's all you need to know
There's Braille for the deaf and a signpost for the blind
There's heaven for the cruel but the devil waits for the kind
And you follow the black bird home
Through the early winter snow
Your foot prints track you through the grass
And you ache just to smell her clothes
And her cooking down on the stove
You see her face in everyone you pass
'Cause you search for years but you lose everything you find
There's Braille for the deaf and a signpost for the blind
There's heaven for the cruel but the devil waits for the kind
And you walk down to her window
And press your face against the glass
Only to find that she is happy in his arms
'Cause you search for years but you lose everything you find
There's Braille for the deaf and a signpost for the blind
There's heaven for the cruel but the devil waits for the kind
The song "Caravan" by Passenger is a melancholic take on the human search for love and belonging. The opening lines, "Pour the petrol can, around this caravan, and watch the flames take all you own," sets a tone of desperation and hopelessness. The caravan is a symbol for the singer's hope and dreams, and burning it down signifies the crushing defeat he feels in his heart. Then the song moves on to describe a girl who is the only haven of solace in the singer's life. She is the one ray of hope, the one who understands him implicitly, even without any words exchanged.
The following verse, "Cause you search for years but you lose everything you find," drives home the point that love and acceptance are elusive, and just when we think we have found it, it slips through our fingers like sand. The lines "There's Braille for the deaf and a signpost for the blind, there's heaven for the cruel, but the devil waits for the kind," provide a commentary on life's unfairness and how even the kindest, purest souls can receive a raw deal in life. The final verse is a devastating one because it is the moment when the singer realizes that the love he has been searching for is just an illusion. He sees the woman he loves with someone else, happy and content, and it breaks him.
Overall, "Caravan" is a poignant reminder of how love and belonging can be elusive, and the road to fulfillment can be filled with disappointment and heartache. Yet, despite it all, we keep searching, keep hoping, and keep believing that someday, we will find what we are looking for.

Pour the petrol can, around this caravan
And watch the flames take all you own
There's a girl who understands
Like the back of her two hands
She's all you need to know
'Cause you search for years but you lose everything you find
There's braille for the deaf and a signpost for the blind
There's heaven for the cruel but the devil waits for the kind
And you follow the blackbird home
Through the early winter snow
Your footprints track you through the grass
And you ache just to smell her clothes
And her cooking down on the stove
You see her face in everyone you pass
'Cause you search for years but you lose everything you find
There's braille for the deaf and a signpost for the blind
There's heaven for the cruel but the devil waits for the kind
And you walk down to her window
And press your face against the glass
Only to find that she is happy in his arms
'Cause you search for years but you lose everything you find
