I saw Passenger live in Vancouver of 2016 at the Orpheum, I met Mike outside the side of the venue as he and his band were leaving, I got to shake his hand and tell him how he inspired me to start singing and playing acoustic guitar. I got Mike to sign the back of my ticket, "It was very nice to meet you Adrian, all the best and well wishes. - Mike xoxo". I was 12 when I accidentally discovered Passenger, I'm 25 now, thank you Mike and the band for all that you do. Please, keep it up ā¤

For those who loves to listen with lyricsš
Sweet Sunday afternoon
Septemberās golden brown
Summer always fades too soon
Like the laughter of a clown
And shadows fill the room
Where sorrows come to drown
Your hearts a lead balloon
As you sink another one down
I know it numbs the way you feel
Blurs what is right and what is real
When thereās no love left you can steal
For the joker laughs along
And the jesters outsmarted
The gambler tries to win back what heās lost
And the sad man sings a song
For the drunk and broken hearted
And the fool never knows how much it costs
Sweet Sunday afternoon
And all that can be heard
Is an old familiar tune
Though youāve forgotten half the words
And sunlight floods the room
Like a silent flock of birds
And hopes a red balloon
Disappearing through the clouds
I know it numbs the way you feel
Blurs what is right and what is real
And thereās no one here to make a deal with
For the joker laughs along
And the jesters outsmarted
The gambler tries to win back what hes lost
And the sad man sings a song
For the drunk and broken hearted
And the fool never knows how much it costs
Well the joker laughs along
While the jesters outsmarted
The gambler never wins back what heās lost
And the sad man sings a song
For the drunk and broken hearted
And the fool never knows how much it costs
Well the fool he never knows how much it costs

Lyrics:
Sweet Sunday afternoon, September's golden brown
Summer always fades too soon like the laughter of a clown
Shadows fill the room where sorrows come to drown
Your heartās a lead balloon as you sink another one down
I know it numbs the way you feel
Blurs what is right and what is real
There's no love left you can steal
For the joker, laughs along
As the jesters outsmarted
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost
And the sad man sings a song
For the drunk and broken-hearted
And the fool, he never knows how much it cost
The sweet Sunday afternoon and all that can be heard
Is an old, familiar tune for youāve forgotten half the words
The sunlight floods the room like a silent flock of birds
And hopes a red balloon, disappearing through the clouds
I know it numbs the way you feel
Blurs what is right and what is real
And there's no one here to make a deal with
For the joker, laughs along
And the jesters outsmarted
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost
Oh, and the sad man, he, sings a song
For the drunk and broken-hearted
And the fool, he never knows how much it cost
Yeah, well, the joker, he laughs along
As the jesters outsmarted
And the gambler tries to win back what he's lost
Oh, and the sad man, he, sings a song
For the drunk and broken-hearted
Oh, and the fool, he never knows how much it cost
Well, the fool, he never knows how much it cost

Hello !!
Here is the slightly terrifying new video for ā a song for the drunk and broken heartedā which is the title track from my new album (which if you missed the announcement - comes out in January and is available to pre-order from www.passengermusic.com/ )
Iām a massive fan of the recent joker movie and also the batman trilogy and this song felt like the perfect excuse to dress up as a clown and make everybody feel a little bit uncomfortable ā¦ (because this year hasnāt been uncomfortable enough ā¦.š
)
I really love this song , for me it tries to capture how depressing sitting in a pub and drinking can be when youāre not with the right people or in the wrong frame of mind . I feel like getting drunk just magnifies how you already feel so if youāre miserable to start with its a tough gig .
The clowns (other than being scary and weird) represent the idiotic and exhausting expectation that people should "put on a smile" or a "brave face" ā¦ even when things are tough . Weāre taught to do it from early age and I think its probably the root of a lot of unhappiness ā¦.
I went through a rough time whilst writing these songs and my hope is that they resonate with people going through something similar .
A huge thank you to my new band ( btw weāre called "clown daddy and the broken heartsā and weāre available for weddings / bah mitzvahs etcā¦.š) and the incredible team of people that helped bring this video together ! We had so much fun making it .
Thank you so much for watching and as ever please share it about if you can !
Loads of love .
Mike š¤”
