I love this song
Υοu're very good my friend.greetings from Greece.

And the original driver of the car.
Did not know that. Fresh.
So do I
You guys are the real heroes
No you are the real hero
@@obersterkanzler3783 No, no you are the real hero
@@vergil9180 no no no you are the real hero
Yes I'm a real hero!
ostrich salad no no no no, everybody here is a hero
Just listened to this song in the car with my dad full blast windows down the sun setting and absolutely jamming
It was immaculate vibes
Love your Pops, I'm sure you do, those moments become an old memory faster than anyone could ever explain...
What a vibe that would be, never forget that ☝🏼
This is why I LOVE youtube...I heard a snippet of this song on a show...thought they said messenger. Looked up on here..'i am a messenger' and this came up. I've done that before when I COULD understand one word of a song, I type one word in! And f'ing youtube always finds the song I'm looking for.
The slowness, the fatigue, the late hours, the resistance, the stubborn optimism, the rebellion, the trip thru hell and yet seeing beauty around. This song speaks to my soul in so many ways. My all-time favorite.
Yes
PassengerMX From your description I could draw a beautiful sketch..
@@Romalvx That would be nice to see
PassengerMX is there any way to get in touch?

When you are in a plane with your son and you see his favorite hero outside.
Lol
Lmao i came from there
I see we got someone with culture here
Good to see somebody else came for the same reason😂
Lmao homelander 😂👍🏽🥃💪🏽
A true passenger in this crazy journey called existence
I live super close to where Iggy grew up in Ypsilanti. I think about him so much while I drive down Carpenter road! This song is absolutely timeless!
I never listened to this song properly before. I love the line 'So let's take a ride and see what's mine'. That's such a beautiful concept. We take so much for granted. This universe is our home. All of ours, including all life. It is ours. After this, we can never be alone again.
That’s the best part.
To take it for granted. This is included in the Soviet students book of English
Me either. A friend just sent me it. I was never a fan but I'm loving it!
Iggy Pop was in a psych ward when Bowie got him out and took him to Berlin trying to get clean. He was definitely a “passenger under glass” so to speak. I agree that is the best line, and the song is timeless
This is one of those songs that I can listen to over and over again - like 8, 9, 10 times in a row. It never gets old!
This looks more like a BEAUTIFUL poem along with rhythm music, one of the best songs ever made.
That cool guitar riff got me liking this song
Fun fact: Iggy Pop composed this song in 1977 - in Berlin, where he was meeting David Bowie. A nomadic anthem, the lyrics are inspired by Iggy's trips aboard Bowie's car or in the subway, as well as some verses by Jim Morrison.
The Fool and Killer Queen
Meeting David Bowie?
At that very time David Bowie was going to Frank Zappa shows in Berlin to check out Adrian Belew Zappa's guitar play to take him away from Zappa band and put him into his band lol And he did !!! Zappa saw Bowie after he found out that David was having secret meetings with Adrian and told Bowie " You need him more then i do you suck anyway !! lol Frankie was a cool dude lol
@@user-fs5wr7gd9q Yes, He does! He self speaks that.
Fun fact: they were staying and recording with David Bowie for over a year in Berlin. The music (the 4 chord riff) was composed by the guitarist on the spot (Ricky Gardiner). The lyrics were written and mostly improvised by Iggy.
I saw this '77 tour with Blondie opening and Bowie playing keyboards in Iggy's band. Feeling sadly nostalgic
That sounds like it was a Historic Concert, congrats on the memories.
Lucky you!
Not sounding sad thought. Great gig to attend!
Blondie, Bowie and Iggy? At once? Wow. Just Wow. Don't feel sad, man. Be. Grateful. You. Were. There!!!!
Saw Ig with Bowie at the now-defunct Rainbow Theatre in London,
March 1977. He sang like Jim Morrison and moved like
James Brown. A fantastic night.
LYRICS
I am a passenger
And I ride, and I ride
I ride through the city's backsides
I see the stars come out of the sky
Yeah, they're bright in a hollow sky
You know it looks so good tonight
I am the passenger
I stay under glass
I look through my window so bright
I see the stars come out tonight
I see the bright and hollow sky
Over the city's ripped back sky
And everything looks good tonight
Singin' la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, la la
Get into the car
We'll be the passenger
We'll ride through the city tonight
See the city's ripped backsides
We'll see the bright and hollow sky
We'll see the stars that shine so bright
Oh, stars made for us tonight
Oh, the passenger
How, how he rides
Oh, the passenger
He rides and he rides
He looks through his window
What does he see?
He sees the silent hollow sky
He sees the stars come out tonight
He sees the city's ripped backsides
He sees the winding ocean drive
And everything was made for you and me
All of it was made for you and me
'Cause it just belongs to you and me
So let's take a ride and see what's mine
Singin' la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, la la
Oh, the passenger
He rides and he rides
He sees things from under glass
He looks through his window's eye
He sees the things that he knows are his
He sees the bright and hollow sky
He sees the city asleep at night
He sees the stars are out tonight
And all of it is yours and mine
And all of it is yours and mine
So let's ride and ride and ride and ride
Singin' la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, la la
Singin' la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la, la la
Dexter New Blood brought me back to this after years!
That's sad. Took Dexter for you to honor a historic song?
Me too
Same
Omg same
It's inevitable that Dexter going to blow up this songs view 🤫
This timeless song has gone down in the history of music just like its composer.
For many people (like me) it has become the soundtrack of their life.
It's definitely Iggy's best song and one of the best songs ever.
We are all passengers in this life, on a car that runs through the city at night, without knowing where we are going.
I couldn‘t have said it any better!
SAME!!!!! ¡!!!!!!!!!♥!
@@langelomisterioso8538 Thank you!
@@sandrajovic9304 Thank you! 🖤
@שָׁחוֹר יֵשׁוּעַ Thank you!
phenomenal. This track got me thru an ugly divorce 1984. Lost my house but saved my sorry ass. Thank you Iggy and Davie. I owe you both heavily.
Well done dude
Taking me through a harsh break up right now buddy
I firmly agree, these two have kept me going even through times where I may of never made it here due to my mental health. We love you both Iggy and Bowie, may you both rest on Mars in peace with the aliens.
Iggy, we need you now more than ever......
Hello Rowein, how are you doing and your family?
i was at 1st year of university when this became my favourite song; i had it as ringtone on phone and loved when i get called. same time i got myself a dog. it's been 10 and half years since then. my dog died of cancer couple of days ago. now i play it again a lot, i just figured it's so like him; energetic, positive, curious, hopeful, happy. i have the first and only small and strong silver lining in the worst event of my life. love you doggo
Your dog love ..best love there is ..dog death.. worst pain and disconnect ever...better to have loved a dog
My thoughts are with you.. wishing you all the best :( R.I.P. Doggo ❤️🕊
The only thing that can help is time....and a new dog... ;)
I'm so very sorry for your loss. It's amazing what we associate with a song...A random memory resurfaced.... A stream of consciousness soliloquy for a doggo that will touch a stranger's heart. Passengers aren't we all.
Sorry for your loss brother. This one is for doggo 🤘❤

The sky was made for us tonight
[Verse 4]
Oh, the passenger
How, how he rides
Oh, the passenger
He rides and he rides
He looks through his window
What does he see?
He sees the sight of hollow sky
He sees the stars come out tonight
He sees the city's ripped backsides

All of it was made for you and me
'Cause it just belongs to you and me

Pppssst. It's uh.. It's a lyric video.
Fg and
it's literally in the video
@@yahtzee4229 i like seeing them all at once lol
Is it "Singin' la la la..." though, or "Singing la la la..."?
Or "Oh singin' la la la..."?
Maybe "I'm singing la la la..."?
I was thirteen years old when they played this on TV, I'm still so attached to this song as if it were yesterday
Ma nouvelle chanson :) Merci pour ton écoute et abonne toi a ma chaîne svp : ua-cam.com/video/sGLCeAvd1zw/v-deo.html
-There's 106 miles to Chicago, we've got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark out, and we're wearing sunglasses.
-Hit it!
I've only worn sunglasses when I hit telephone poles.
106 miles only half a pack of cigarettes? You're gonna need at least a full pack for the full experience.
@@biglezmate3830 I would stop to buy smokes long before Chicago. Dying for a smoke there means something else.
@@TheDustysix lmao
@@biglezmate3830 I was born in Gary. To young to remember there.
When I turned 18, majority age in my country,i was at my favorite pub,the one I grew up in, with my friends, girls, motorcycles and alcohol and i thought in that very moment 'if only the radio plays the passenger' when it happens. One of the best days of my life. Iggy King of everything.
In Belgium, whe called new wave
@@tamaravandievoet5136 well, Iggy tried many styles in his career. But he definitely invented punk. I guess somebody called new wave punk too back in the times.
Wow, what a story
This came out in 77 and sounds like it could have been released today.....💜
A favorite
Timeless song
Great song. If released today the youngsters would be confused... theres also a real band playing.
Not one musical person and auto tune and machines for a band
C H you can still be a youngster and enjoy this song ?
@@crixnadine7076 Lmao OK boomer
Love this song, glad it's finally gotten a music video.
Ecxatly ! The wait is over !
Yes! :D
historical moment
There is an original video to this song. He has long hair and gives flowers to a girl.
agreed.
Love making trips with my moto while listening to this masterpiece!!
Last for Life. MASTERPIECE. RIP David
I'm glad he allowed Siouxie and the Banshees to record his song.
Bridgett Holman he didn’t allow Siouxie to cover the passenger. Anyone can cover it just the ig will collect the songwriting royalties
wouldn't you love to see them do a duet of this song?
adam thompson Wrong
I feel like Siouxie pulled a Johnny Cash on this song and stole it away from him.
@@HunterFunk not even close bruh
Iggy walks around my city I see him almost every week lol not even joking, since I'm a city worker I'm always on the streets. This is in Birmingham MI, my co-workers are always yelling "fuck you Iggy!" And he yells back with a smile, "fuck yeah!"
Lol
That's awesome aha why do they yell fuck you to him? ahha
Really?
Tell them to yell Love from Australia!
@@kokorokoprinz just a classic joke from back in the day
Saw and HEARD Iggy live about 7 years ago at Thebarton Theatre, Adelaide, South Australia. Whippett thin, no spring chicken,leather pants almost falling off him, naked from the waist up. Dived into the moshpit, invited some of audience on stage ( to the horror of security gorillas no doubt). He still rocked. Audience aged b/w teens to greying babyboomers like me. My ears still ringing couple days later. Worth every decibel.
YEEEEESSSSSS!
This song will never die
I'm happy to see more people finding out this song.
Trainspotting brought me here and I am happy for it.
@@taylorgardner9562 homelander from the boys bring here
@Oingo 00 you're welcome son
JoJo brought me here :3
all thanks to a plane crash
We are the passengers and we wait and wait
So this video, which many of us have been waiting for many years, turned out to be very nostalgic and even a little (for me) sad.
I'm glad that I live with Iggy at the same time and can enjoy his works.
Sorry for bad English :)
I pray for you.
The drumming is beautiful.
Mat Hoffman 2 introduced me to this wonderful song. What a great soundtrack that game had, with this being the best of the bunch.
Iggy Pop turns Jim Morrison in a imortal song.......Forever in our hearts !!! Love Iggy Pop And Jim Morrison!!!
At some point The Doors offered Iggy to replace Jim after his death but he refused out of respect.
Morrison was an influence for Iggy Pop.
a visual for “some weird sin” would really mean a lot to someone in the first stages of recovery, and i’m speaking from experience.
Search for the Top Pop performance, Iggy does some cool movements there.
"Yeah, I heard his plane went down."
- Homelander
This song gives me nostalgia to the 70's.
I was born in 2006.
same tbh
I was born in 2000. I discovered this song, along with Iggy Pop himself, in the DS version of Lego Rock Band.

Met him in berlin. Didn´t know him. I am a passenger....
Good song, both romantic, desolate and yet has that defiant line ' it belongs to you and me '
Everybody gangsta till Homelander's eyes start shining.
Hahahaha
Hey there buckaroo
Superman will stay gangster
@@homelander5499 hey there superman wannabe
Like number 666
this song tells exactly person who I want to be. la la lalalalaaaa 💫
This song is iconic but I did come back to it after finally watching the Boys and DAMN
Always loved this song. It reminds me when i was young travelling in the backseat of my parent's old plymouth 57 to go see my uncles on the farm. The only car on the road,except the one lonely train passing by,the conductor waiving blowing his horn. The sight of stars filling the sky,and passing by tall radio antennas with red blinking lights on top high. It's all gone now. Sad in a way. Thanks Iggy for the memories.
Wow. I've never seen Iggy young like this. Or wearing a shirt! Lol. I was 16 when this came out I guess. 1977? Hadn't heard of him at all. Not really know much about him now. My oldest grandson does I'll bet. He's in college but he's always liked older stuff. More his grandma's music you know?🤩 Thing is I listen to almost everything now so I can talk to them about some of their faves too. Thanks for the vid! Be safe.🤘🙏😷
This song reminds me of California,Hollywood hills, sunsets and long rides through the oceanside...
Only on gta
When you come to the end of your life and you see you were just a passenger.... All those years.
Thanks for the warning
What does this mean?
Really helps when one understands it sooner.
Does this mean you did nothing all these years?
@@williamcalley5593 achievement is only and illusion
The soundtrack to many wild nights, that’s what this song is!
"Dad, Dad, Dad!"
"What's he doing out here?"
"Are you guys Friends?"

Awesome thank you for your music
I heard this song at work today, the lights were dark, and it was raining, and this song just set the entire mood. Luv it here.
FINALLY a music video of Passenger ! And official !!! In the era of MTV i expect this so much.....And now 2020 ..this Dream come True ! Viva Iggy Pop The king And The Genius of The Proto Punk!!! Salutes from Brazil São Paulo SP !!!
É bom saber que tem brasileiros que gostam dessa música.... faz sentir que não estou só no país inteiro
@@thiagomatheus8568 sim com certeza ! Ainda existe bom gosto no Brasil !!!
I'm a young guy who listens to only rap. But damn this is sick...
Young dude here, I recommend: Bob Dylan's John Wesley Harding and Bob Seger's Against the wind, they keep the same kinda vibe.
im 32 and a rapper/hip hop instructor for teh NDIS in australia - knew this song but never reallllly got into it till now for whatever reason - i got the exact OG instrumental, writing bars for it now....10/10 would recommend haha
Life is a ride... and i'm just a passenger chilling in the backseat 😆
@@topisalonen8813 banging while shooting dope. Ima a passeeeeengeeer
Brutal work week, full moon, hard liquor. "I see the bright and hollow sky, and everything looks good tonight." This is balm to my pocked and idle soul. I am grateful for it. Thanks, Iggs. xxxooo
👌❤
Iggy and Bowie are INCREÍBLES , saludos FROM Chile. , XD
Aguante Iggyyyyyyyyy!!!!

Berlin was big enough to hold these two larger than life personalities. Credit.
One of the best song ever written…lyrics and music,every human being in his life lived a moment like the one that the song talk about!🙌🏼🎵🖤
Cute, pensioner
I hope so !
THANKS BOWIE RIP 75;-)
Iggy, David, Siouxsie made this diamond to shine forever. Love all the versions. 🎧 finally Iggy made his own video.
I felt the smell of West Berlin in the seventies when I saw this music video. Thank You
Любовь и страсть 2022. Обожаю
Да, да, Декстер но оно того стоило)))))) с первой секунды, поэтому мы все здесь) Hello friend)))))
This song is in so many trailers!!
There was this story we kept hearing in Berlin, that this song's meaning is about the many times Iggy felt like a passenger in someone else's car, especially in his Berlin years. And that someone those days, wrote another song, titled "Always Crashing In the Same Car"
Remember when life was like this?
Still is. I'm a musician
interesting to compare the siouxie and Banshees cover and video from the 80s with this, both are great
I love them both, which is rare for a cover.
This Song reminds me of my old days on the PS2 playing "Scarface" trying to smuggle Cocaine from Cuba back to Miami for distribution. GTA 6 is supposed to be set in the late 1970s according to leaks, hopefully we'll hear this song there too. 😊
Wait you smuggled coke in the game orrr
Me too men, judas Priest, earth wild and fire, rikie James, and so more.... Fantastic
Shessh that game is legendary
GTA won't be realesed for another 10 years, they are soooooo sloooooow! 👎
@@BigAndTall666 4 years but yeah they’re slow
Passenger, you've always been with us and you are Always there with everyone ❤️
What? Passenger is another artist???
@@andru5054 yeah xd
such a fine tune, a great time in Berlin in the late 1970s when Bowie and Iggy stay there together, great artwork - thanks a lot ♥
Reminds me when you travel with someone who love's you and the Journey is better than the Destination.🛣🙏
....my child loves this song, since he was a little boy.!..such a good boy!)
Incredible coincidence that the day I randomly went back to listen to this tune was the day this was uploaded
Same 😂
Same exact thing happened to me. Listened to it this morning and then got an email about the video. Much appreciated magic!
These are glitches in the Matrix, 2020 is full of them :)
Wow, actually, me too
Mokka, wow, me too. So much better than looking at a still.
We are all passengers on the endless roads of life
Endless till we’re dead xD
Another settlement needs your help.
Excelent song
excellente chanson 🎶🎹🎵🎼la musique est bien orchestrée 👍j aime beaucoup 😘💜
You guys... You guys are the real heros..
2:50 give me chills everytime after the plane scene
This song deserver's more than 12M view....BUT I forgot You are just PASSENGERs!
Welcome back Iggy....missed u
First saw this on a old game Matt Hoffman pro BMX 2. Then heard it again watching a show called the Boys. This song is timeless and classic
Pure nostalgia 🤘🏻
"Dad get in!"

Ash VS Evil Dead. I just finished rewatching the episode 😄
Beste scene haha
I just finished watching that episode for the first time and felt like i had to listen again to this masterpiece, glad to see i'm not the only one
I love this song. The UA-cam algorithm has shown me David Hasselhoff's version. 10 seconds, and I'm back to the original version. Insuperable!
Me too, Me toooooooooo!
Hasselhoffs Version is pretty nice
In *super* able ;)
UA-cam showed me Siouxsie and the Banshees' version first
Insufferable? (Hasselhoff's version, that is)
One minute of silence for these bumps knowing this song not until "the boys" lmao.
At least we know it :)
The moment when you at last begin to understand words in this song, because you spent one year studying english
Iggy Pop, a true legend right here
This song is immortal-level good. That is no easy task.
Kocham to wykonanie mistrzowskie ♥️
A 70s music icon pleasantly updated and remembered for current generations thanks to a phenomenal sequence from The Boys series
Just as I always imagined The Passenger's official video could've ever been
🇮🇹.....TIMELESS SONG .... WITHOUT WHERE ... GREAT IGGY... GREETINGS ✋🤑✋ FROM ITALY 🇮🇹
So it trips singingly along w it's catchy tune....then Iggy starts to sing. Game over. It's all I hear. His wonderful voice plays me.
Like I wanna be your Dog. Wow song w him and the Stooges. Like Bauhaus slays w the voice, too.
This song is often used by polish TV Channel TVP Info as their intro and outro Polska
I shazamed this song from the first episode of first season of 'The Boys' series
it rocks 🎸
Feel like i’ve just discovered something life changing decades after it changed everyone else’s. And that ain’t bad. God, I love music.
I bought a very used (2012 rolls Royce phantom) and this was the first song on the pre modes MP3’s that were left on the radio. I know it WAS NOT iggys car but It did belong to a badass old man so it was close 🖤
