------------------------------
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 Fridén, 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, Fridén, 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 Fridén 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 Man’s Rest, Passenger’s 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 Passenger’s 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 Sydney’s 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 Passenger’s 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 Australia’s 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 Tiësto. Tiësto 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.

For You
Passenger Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Your glass is full but you're never fulfilled
Your grass is green but their grass is greener
You'll never make it to the top of the hill
If this ain't enough
I don't know what you're waiting for
Is it money is it love?
Well I don't know what you're hoping to find
But a happy heart and a peaceful mind
And if this ain't enough
Then I don't know what you're waiting for
I just don't know what you're waiting for
You've come so far but you keep pushing farther
You've won the battle and you've won the war
You feel the burn but you keep pushing harder
But who the hell are you doing it for?
If this ain't enough
I don't know what you're waiting for
Is it money is it love?
Is it something but you're just not sure?
Well I don't know what you're hoping to find
But a happy heart and a peaceful mind
And if this ain't enough
Then I don't know what you're waiting for
I just don't know what you're waiting for
Some people got it all but never see what's under their noses
You've got a beautiful garden but you never stop to smell the roses
If it's stick or twist then twist if you must I suppose
But only if you're sure
It's really too big to ignore
I just don't know what you're waiting for
Don't know what you're waiting for
I don't know what you're waiting for
Don't know what you're waiting for
The song For You by Passenger carries a message of introspection and self-reflection. The lyrics are focused on the idea that we often spend our lives chasing after something, a goal or a dream, without taking the time to assess whether that pursuit is what we truly want or need. The opening lines, "You live the dream but you're still a dreamer, your glass is full but you're never fulfilled" highlight the idea that our pursuit of success can never be fully satisfying if we are not fulfilled at our core.
The chorus questions the listener about what they truly want out of life, "Is it money is it love? Is it something but you're just not sure?" It suggests that even when we think we know what we want, it's easy to become lost and unsure, and in that moment we need to focus on what truly matters, "But a happy heart and a peaceful mind."
The final verse of the song further elaborates on the idea that sometimes we become so consumed by our goals that we forget to enjoy the journey. "You've got a beautiful garden but you never stop to smell the roses." The song ultimately leaves the listener with a message of simplicity, advising us to prioritize happiness and self-awareness in all aspects of our lives.

our toi
For you dear, lose my tongue to talk
Pour toi ma chérie, je perdrais ma langue
Dear, no whispers in the dark
Chérie, pas de murmures dans le noir
Dear, for you I would
Chérie, pour toi je le ferai
And if you, dear
Et si tu, chérie
Found my words were unclear
Trouvais que mes mots n"étaient pas clairs
And my voice, you can't hear
Et que ma voix, tu n'entends pas
For you I would,
Pour toi je pourrais,
Write you a poem
Écrire un poème
Just to let you know
Juste pour que tu saches
I would write you a poem, my love
Je t'écrirai un poème mon Amour
For you dear, lose my legs to walk
Pour toi, je perdrais mes jambes
Dear, no footprints in the chalk
Chérie, pas de trace dans la craie
Dear, for you I would
Chérie, pour toi je le ferai
And it's true, dear
Et c'est vrai, chérie
If your demons are near
Si tes démons sont proches
And you're drowning in tears
Et si tu te noies dans tes larmes
For you I would,
Pour toi je pourrais,
Build you a boat
Construire un bateau
Just to keep you afloat
Juste pour te garder à flot
Yeah, I would build you a boat, my love
Ouais, je te construirai un bateau, mon amour

Chari, hoy celebramos 5 meses juntos. En esos 5 meses ha habido millones de sonrisas, millones de te quieros, millones de besos y abrazos. He sido muy feliz contigo Chari, realmente feliz, porque de verdad pienso que tú eres alguien realmente especial. Tienes que serlo, nunca antes con dos palabras me había hecho sonreír, nunca antes nadie me había apoyado tanto, ni me había hecho sentir esto. Nunca pensé que llegaría a escribir estos textos, quiero decir, quien iba a pensar que una persona tan genial como tú se iba a enamorar de mí. Han sido los 5 mejores meses de mi vida, y dejo constancia de esto con este comentario, pero confió en que van a ser muchísimos meses más, eso espero. Chari, te quiero.
