Lyrics:
was it the trick of the light
or a shot in the dark
was it hell or high water
that broke our hearts
was it something i said
or just a cruel twist of fate
was it hell or high water
is it too late
oh is it too late
well all my life i’ve been
searching for someone
to show me how it
feels to be loved
and how to love somebody back
and after stumbling through the years i
thought i found you just to
see you fading out into the night
was it the trick of the light
or a shot in the dark
was it hell or high water
that broke our hearts
was it something you said
or just a cruel twist of fate
was it hell or high water
and is it too late
see all my life i’ve been
silently reaching for a hand to hold
to warm the cold
a spark of light
to guide me through alright
and after stumbling through the years i
thought i found you just to
see you fading out into the night
was it the trick of the light
or a shot in the dark
was it hell or high water
that broke our hearts
was it something we did
or just a cruel twist of fate
was it hell or high water
and is it too late
was it a knife in my back
or a fork in the road
was it hell or high water
that left us alone
is it really game over
is it really checkmate
was it hell or high water
is it too late
oh is it too late
was it a trick of the light
or a shot in the dark
was it hell or high water
that broke our hearts

Ok …. This is a big one !!!
some of you may have guessed from recent activity and our not so cryptic post earlier this week that I have a new album coming out ….
its called “runaway” and ridiculously It will be my 10th studio album (I must be getting old ….)
I am unbelievably proud of this group of songs and I can’t wait for you guys to hear them all !!!
I need to explain a few things first though as I guess its a bit of a concept album (nothing weird …. I promise)
Towards the end of last year I was playing through all of the songs that I had . We were booked to go in to the studio in January so I was trying to figure out which ones might make it on to the record .
It was at this moment that I started to notice a theme emerging . A really strong sense of “Americana” - Not only in the style of writing but also a few of the songs were specifically about people or places in the united states .
Some of you may know that I am half American , I’ve spent a lot of time in the states both growing up and more recently touring and I have always listened to / been heavily influenced by a huge amount of American music .
Over the next few days I thought about this a lot and It struck me that the songs could work fantastically well coupled with big , American visuals . You may see where this is heading ...;-)
A few months later and once the album had been recorded , I and three of my best buddies set off on an epic American road trip ….
the team consisted of Jarrad Seng Photography ( film maker and photographer extraordinaire ) Stu Larsen ( long time touring companion / excellent tour manager / singer songwriter / photographer / driver etc etc) and chris Vallejo (producer of the last 5 passenger albums / engineering genius )
The goal was to create a different video for each track on the album in a different part of the states …. Optimistic considering we had just over three weeks to do it in …..
On top of this we also wanted to create a really special set of acoustic versions , recorded and filmed in a variety of different spots as we journeyed around . The first of which is attached . Its a live version of “hell or high-water” on Venice beach in California at sunset . I hope you enjoy it :-)
This is to compliment the “official" video that we released last week and I’m sure a lot of you have seen by now (thank you again for the insanely lovely feedback !!!!!)
That one was shot in a variety of different national parks across Utah , Nevada , Arizona and California .
So here’s the plan -
We are hoping to release a new song from the record every three weeks . In which time we will share the official and acoustic videos as well as some behind the scenes footage from our trip to give you an insight in to the songs , the making of the videos and some of us all behaving like stupid idiots …. In fact mainly that … :-)
We will also be making each track available to download and stream as they come out .
A great way of making sure you get these songs as soon as possible is to pre order the album which you can do from this link (Passenger.lnk.to/RunawayFA)
There are various options to choose from and I’ve written a small explanation on the deluxe versions below for those of you that might be interested .
Thank you all so much for taking the time to read this and I can’t wait to share all of the songs , videos and stories with you over the coming months .
In the meantime please feel free to share this around . Due to algorithms etc these posts don’t reach as many people as they once did so now more than ever we are relying on your generosity and support to get the word out there .
So much love and thanks .
Mike .
deluxe cd / vinyl / download ….
In the past , we have often included acoustic versions as bonus material to go alongside an album . I’m very aware that different passenger fans like different things …. Some enjoy the fuller sounding , more produced stuff where as others are happier when its just me and a guitar . I myself flit between the two . To include both in a deluxe package has always felt like a really nice thing to do .
For this album its a variation on that idea - the big difference being that everything was recorded live , on the road , with a portable recording rig and in various locations . The end result is something we feel is really special . There is a life and an honesty to these versions that I’m really proud of .
All ten acoustic versions are included on the bonus disk of the deluxe cd and vinyl and also included in the deluxe download .
Further more , there are a very limited number of signed and numbered boxsets that include the deluxe cd , deluxe vinyl and a few other goodies … get in quick if you’re after one of these bad boys :-)
xx
Passenger who gonna read this 😏
Passenger amazing song though
Excited for your "Runaway".
I like that
Passenger I can’t put it into words.....your musics impact on my soul.

Hello everyone !!!!
I hope you’re all doing really well ?!
Its been a very long time between drinks ….. I’ve had a few months off which has been amazing and much needed .
we’ve also secretly been extremely busy working on a few bits and bobs and I can’t tell you how excited I am to share it all with you very soon …..
To start with , here is my new single “hell or high-water” .
This song has been knocking around for a while and I’m so so happy to finally get it out in to the world . I’m very proud of this one and I really hope you guys dig it !!
Please feel free to share it around if you do .
Loads of love to you all .
Mike xx

This masterpiece is so underrated.. much love from 🇮🇳
Ashu Kelhanka whats you from ?
Yes.. I am from India.
Me too bro... Every day
Fuck India nasty place
My first thought, a masterpiece.
Passenger is the only one capable of giving me goosebumps, listening to his songs...even after repeating them countless times... 😍😍😍
My favourite song by passenger!
I mean let her go is *great* but this one is just so unique and catchy
Very underrated imo
:)
If "let her go" and this are your favorite songs: Have fun listening to every song you haven't heard from him. There are literally hundreds.
Mike's every song is a masterpiece
@@mortenrollsen271 yeah ive dowloaded like countless of his musics and every song hits me diferrently
The stage name 'Passenger' gives the idea of an ordinary, relatable person. And that's what your music is- relatable to ordinary folk. That's an amazing thing to achieve.
Valid point Kwakeka.
You got that spot on!!
I'm glad that, in fifty years, we will be able to state that we had great artists in our youth, just like our parents had in theirs. Artists like Passenger will make that statement possible.
why a singer with so much talent can be so underated ...... passenger will always make my life
Man, your songs are food for the soul.
Also love this 🎶
I've been a huge fan since the first album and honestly Passenger just keeps getting better and better. Amazing musicians are rare, and here we've struck gold ❤
2020 who is here? This guy is sooo good, unique, I never get tired of his songs this is my favourite 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥.
I from Poland
2021
Deserves a billion views!.
I really missed listening to you. I usually turn to you at my weakest moments. Man the last year has been so rough for me. From losing my grandad and my dad fighting for his health, and the girl in my life... well you can already guess how that went. I seriously value you Mike, and although you may never get to know me, I just want you to know i appreciate everything you have done for me over the past 6 years. I really hope our paths do cross.
I can't stop listening to this
It's great
Find SURVIVORS...ear worm as well..brilliant song.
same
I start knowing your music when I've lost the person that mostly loved in this world,and I was so down but "Let her go" helped me to continue... Than I start wondering for your other songs that you sing and it's incredible how everybody can find himself in your lyrics... And I really appreciate that in a world made of false idols, you are yourself, and sing these song just for us who want to hear them. Continue like this men, your music will never die, because it's so real
This is my favourite. It's my ringtone, my long awaited song I run to when I want to be with my thoughts. It makes me understand what loneliness really is. The horses in the video made me feel so nostalgic
Mike!!!! That is totally... incredible.. I have no words for that!! It's just so so beautiful!! I love everything about this song!! And the video is amazing!! And ohh Benny 's guitar solo!!!
Oh my god, Mike I love you so so much ❤❤❤
Flawless
This guy is so underrated too underrated
This genre of song ...💖
Fan of u forever ❤️💘
Best songwriter of our time. Underrated
Yeah man. He is very underrated.
I am listening to this and dancing...and crying! God this is beautiful!!
Mike you are a miracle
❤❤❤
The opening line of this song is just amazingly captivating in its writing and delivery. I could be in a terrible mood, but hearing the opening just stops me cold and draws me in. Thank you so much for what you bring to the world, Mike. As long as writing and performing music brings you joy, you will have at least one fan in me.
Liked the video before even listening because I already knew it'd be pure gold.
darrin rutland Exactly like that.
I do it all the time.
already crying because the song is so beautiful!
This guy deserves MORE attention🥰🥰
The highest praise goes to this song. It’s a hairs on your neck goose pimples song. Only the absolute best songs do that to you 😍 bloody brilliant!!!!
Your songs are amazing. When I listened to them I felt like I was there with you. It’s like you were telling your stories through your songs and I believed all of them. Oh dude, you are one of the best storytellers I have ever known. Keep doing what you are doing!!! Thanks for the great stories 😁👏👍
ลัทธิเม้ง The Storyteller blabla

ลัทธิเม้ง The Storyteller ลัทธิเม้งก็มาว่ะ
OK....
So true right!
I missed you so much!!!
Javiera Garfias no one loves you tho
Passenger you have an identity, please don't change and thank you for giving us such real music.
Jesus is Lord, even in my darkest times I’m saying this 3️⃣☝🏾 I know I’ll look for this if I make it🙌🏾
thank you passenger for gifting me with the most beautiful songs that touches the soul and the heart I love you
❤️💋💕✌️😍
Mike has always been one of my favourites
I can focus on my studies because of this professional musician who motivates me and listen while reading ..wow wow you so great Mr
Geez this man has got my heart , soft gentle breathy but totally articulate lyrics , he sure has some magic working here .
Hello Rhonda how are you doing?
Anyone else hoping this song makes it to the charts
Why would Passenger want to be in any chart?...
THE DUDE IS OUT THERE ON HIS OWN......pretty damned unique artist.
As is STEPHEN RUSSELL "SAILING ON A CLOUD

Hello Ethan how are you doing?
AMAZING!!!
JLyrics +++++
Having been born in a suburb of detroit in '65, this song touches me more deeply than I could have thought. Excellent filming on this one, brings tears to my eyes, very poignant.
One of the best Musician this world has ever seen, absolutly unique! Love him to the end...
I just had the pleasure of seeing Mike live and oh my goodness, this song is so powerful in person. Absolutely love it.
U always give new touches to your songs
Love that your videos are recorded on location - without all the CGI stuff - just beautiful basic camera recording. USA is beautiful as is. Love, Jakob
your music is all i av been wanting
A music like this is light for the brain, air for the lungs and nourishment for the soul. Thank you for your work, Michael. You make stupendous music.
Feels so good to be able to hear more music from this amazing artist. It always outdoes my expectations. So excited to see you again this summer in Quebec, the first time I saw you in concert I was blown away by how much your voice remains the same live and in-studio. Defintetly my favorite artist.
Q non
This beautiful song gives me so much nostalgia!
Story of my life. Alone still. Waaaaaa💪🏻❤️
Nothing can be better than the new Passenger's single 💖
there is something... a new Passenger album ;)
Makes me happy to see this and even happier to hear it. Happy Birthday to you.
Awesome lyrics expressed through gorgeous voice
Perfect..
I JUST WANNA KNOW.... HOW CAN A BAND DON´T MAKE NO ONE BAD MUSIC?? I LOVE ALL YOUR SONGS;... THANK YOU PASSENGER... WE WAITIN FOR YOU HERE IN BRAZIL...
[Chorus]
Was it the trick of the light?
Or a shot in the dark?
Was it hell or high water that broke our hearts?
Was it something I said?
Or just a cruel twist of fate?
Was it hell or high water and is it too late?
Oh, is it too late?
[Verse 1]
Man, all my life I've been
Searching for someone, to show me how it feels to be loved
And how to love somebody back
And after stumbling through the years
I thought I found you, just to see you fading out into the night
[Chorus]
Was it the trick of the light?
Or a shot in the dark?
Was it hell or high water that broke her hearts?
Was it something you said?
Or just a cruel twist of fate?
Was it hell or high water and is it too late?
[Verse 2]
See, all my life I've been
Silently reaching for
A hand to hold to warm the colder sparkle lights
To guide me through, alright?
And after stumbling through the years
I thought I found you, just to see you fading out into the night
[Chorus]
Was it the trick of the light?
Or a shot in the dark?
Was it hell or high water that broke our hearts?
Was it something we did?
Or just a cruel twist of fate?
Was it hell or high water and is it too late?
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
[Bridge]
Was it a knife in my back?
Or a fork in the road?
Was it hell or high water that left us alone?
Is it really game over?
Is it really checkmate?
Was it hell or high water and is it too late?
Oh, is it too late?
[Outro]
Was it the trick of the light?
Or a shot in the dark?
Was it hell or high water that broke her heart?

I heard it once and I cant stop hearing it now..

#GOAT
unique voice
One of the things I like most in this music are the lyrics itself, its rare nowadays to found a music with lyrics that have a poetic meaning, we Portuguese are use to that in our music ❤️
Such a humane and empathic person, the lyrics portray a deep understanding of the pain and beauty of life.
Love from South Africa, my all time favorite artist = Passenger
really masterpiece ...and background music is very perfect ...
Sen muhteşem bi detaysın
Never change Mike... Keep creating awesomeness
Literally passenger never fails ✨👌
I can FEEL this song
I'm listening to your music 50x since last month. Anytime I log in to my youtube account I use to listen to the powerful words from your song, I love your music Passenger from South Africa.
I have listened to this song many times. Perfect....
When I was 12years old when I heard let her go i was so shocked..
And this song.. kills me..
Precisely the same as me, heard let her go over the radio of a bus filled with kids but his voice shined through all that noise, another genius song, well in mike
Exactly👆🏻👆🏻👆🏻
I don't need to leave a comment
So am guessing you are dead by now... 😆😆😁. We all love passenger. 👍
and now you're dead?
I've been waiting for the studio version of "Hell on high water" from the first day I heard this song, I strongly believe it's one of the best things even written by Mike! Expectations absolutely met with the track, and music video went above any expectations - unbelievable scenery, Jarrad did a brilliant jobl! So glad to have you back guys
Dims HI I AM SO GLAD THIS SONG TOUCHED US AL THE SAME WAY
