It cannot be said another way. He deserves so much more attentention , and more people i general, which is possilbly more important, deserve to listen to this man. The music is of course , not trivial, but pop and at times alomost too predicable. His lyrics. Is so touching , and feels like a friend , with a No bullsh** approach to life. It feals real. And sounds like honesty. I love it. I am not interrested in beeing right or wrong. I just feel this . The same way i feel Edgar Allan poe , van gogh, hemingway and numerous others that have or had the abillity to say something difficult in a simple way. Thats what make the difference between an artist and a performer. In my subjective opinion
I found it really wierd that only "let her go" is on the radio station when he has so much great songs such as this one... i really think that he should get much more recognition. I love his work with the lyrics and everything fit perfectly. MUCH LOVE !

I'm fairly certain it's not a love song at all. He doesn't want to be with the girl, but he doesn't want to be alone so he forces himself to stay with her. And "The first cut is the deepest but the rest still flipping hurt." is either deeply metaphorical or, my thought, a clear reference to self harm(in lay mans terms, cutting.)
Jeremy Watson It's not about cutting. What he means is the the first time you get hurt is the worst but it still hurts every time. The song is about love, just not a typical love song :)
When I was a kid, the things I did, were hidden under the grid Young and naive, I never believed that love could be so well hid With regret, I'm willing to bet, you say the older you get It gets harder to forgive and harder to forget It gets under your shirt like a dagger or work The first cut is the deepest, but the rest will flippin' hurt You build your heart of plastic, get cynical and sarcastic And end up in the corner on your own 'Cause I love to feel love but can't stand the rejection I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection I thought I was close, but under further inspection It seems I've been running in the wrong direction Oh, no So what's the point in getting your hopes up When all you're ever getting is choked up When you're coked up, And can't remember the reason why you broke up You call her in the morning When you're coming down and falling Like an old man on the side of the road 'Cause when you're apart you don't want to mingle When you're together you want to be single Ever the chase to taste the kiss of bliss That made your heart tingle How much greener the grass is With those rose tinted glasses But the butterflies, they flutter by And leave us on our asses 'Cause I love to feel love but I can't stand the rejection I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection I thought I was close, but under further inspection It seems I've been running in the wrong direction There's fish in the sea for me to make a selection I'd jump in if it wasn't for my ear infection 'Cause all I want to do is try to make a connection But it seems I've been running in the wrong direction Oh, oh Oh, oh I love to feel love but I can't stand the rejection I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection I thought I was close, but under further inspection It seems I've been running in the wrong direction I love to feel love but I can't stand the rejection I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection And I thought I was close, but under further inspection It seems I've been running in the wrong direction Oh, oh Seems like I'm running in the wrong direction Oh, oh Seems like I'm running in the wrong direction Oh Well it seems I've been running in the wrong direction Oh, no Seems like I've been running in the wrong direction Oh
He deserves the publicity and success he's got now.Very delicate the way he describes the difficulty and ephemerality of human relations..admitting his own mistakes.. "I've got the wrong direction" Superb use of the English language in all of his songs. Remind me of the French chansonniers: Charles Trenet, Guy Beart, and many ,many more.
I was listening to spotify when I found this song, I liked it so I decided to look at the lyrics on UA-cam.....and it's basically my theme song "I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection".....I do that more than I should, I don't want people to be upset cause of me. And now here I am.....crying in my bedroom in the dark listening to this song.....
my frequency is with yours its just this there r so many people like us.....I love holes as well I think you should listen to that as well....I am happy that I am not alone. ..;-)
This text hits on so many spots in many people. One of a kind singer and so good texts he makes.This is a guy I would like to meet up with and sing and play for hours.
Passenger, guess what! With your songs I learned to speak English thanks so much, you didn't know that you're a teacher too, thank you so much God bless all the steps you give. Take care my brother.
Wow... confronting... story of my life as well, untill i found her.. the love of my life. Had some tears over this song when i heard it for the first on the radio yesterday. Im so happy with you
this is the singer with whom I could connect myself . Feels like something, I don't know what when you find someone who is saying something which you have always thought and was confined only to your mind.
I think that instead of saying 'I'd jump in if it wasn't for my ear infection' it would sound a lot better if he said 'I'd jump in if it wasn't for my eerie reflection' I really think it would tie the song together quite nicely!
"there's fish in the sea for me to make a selection, i'd jump in if it wasn't for my ear infection" I think it's because he listened to what others keel telling him that's why he missed the opportunity
I'd love to feel love but I can't stand the rejection. I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection. I thought I was close but under further inspection… beautiful lyrics, always inspiring.
Passenger is a poëte in the tormented tenderness nevertheless hopeful. Magnificent and very melodious. A great pleasure so simple and easy to hear. Claude
Can't stand rejection? Hey if they reject you... She's not for you my buddy... Sometimes tough if you really love her but all you can do is tell her... Forcing her would take her freedom of choice away obviously so... Let her know how you feel then take a stand with yourself and move on... This philosophy is golden and can help your fans too... I see your beautiful heart my man... Those woman are fools!

I'm in 2022 and still believe Passenger remains the most underrated musician.
True_but as much,.Hīs the døpest real,heart touching musical superstar out thea..' real words that captivate real feelings..'
Agreed
Nah xD
Totally agree

Why is Passenger not famous like other Overrated Singers..!??..😶😶
This song gives me a Reason to live.!!☺☺
This song helps everytime I hear this.!
maybe he is one of the many lesser-known talented artists whose soul has not been sold to the devil
Ik Ikook b
+Ik Ikook that sounds damn spot on right there. you are probably right my friend I'm glad he hasn't. peace be with you my friend ✌💜✌🎵🎶
Help his song to grow and support him and he will be famous
Indranuj Raikwar no need to be so famous, enough only for us..
i hide behind my jokes as a form of protection" CHANDLER IS THAT YOU"
danielle- Regina Phalange could i BE anymore specific ?
I KNEW IT REMINDED ME OF SOMETHING
Wow that comment ✌️
Exactly what I thought haha
You nailed it 😂
How many og’s are still absolutely blown away with his music?
Lyrics full of empathy, melody full of peace, this is music.
U know u fcked up bad when ur life relates to the song...
Charith Hewage 😂u to this song
Charith Hewage 😂😂😂😂😂😂Yup
Charith Hewage my mum says I relate perfectly to the song 😢
It is not bad to relate it to ones life sometimes. But try to focus on rhythm and rhyme for a change. Or just sing along!!!
Yes
Talent with humbleness and this is why we don't see him much. His music is world class.
This is such a perfect lyrical song about love.
I'm fairly certain it's not a love song at all. He doesn't want to be with the girl, but he doesn't want to be alone so he forces himself to stay with her. And "The first cut is the deepest but the rest still flipping hurt." is either deeply metaphorical or, my thought, a clear reference to self harm(in lay mans terms, cutting.)
Jeremy Watson boooring :P (just kidding)
Jeremy Watson
It's not about cutting. What he means is the the first time you get hurt is the worst but it still hurts every time. The song is about love, just not a typical love song :)
True
+Marissa Marie basically just a song about him getting rejected
This song is absolutely beautiful, he performs it wonderfully and whoever wrote it has an amazing mind :)
When I was a kid, the things I did, were hidden under the grid
Young and naive, I never believed that love could be so well hid
With regret, I'm willing to bet, you say the older you get
It gets harder to forgive and harder to forget
It gets under your shirt like a dagger or work
The first cut is the deepest, but the rest will flippin' hurt
You build your heart of plastic, get cynical and sarcastic
And end up in the corner on your own
'Cause I love to feel love but can't stand the rejection
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
I thought I was close, but under further inspection
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction
Oh, no
So what's the point in getting your hopes up
When all you're ever getting is choked up
When you're coked up,
And can't remember the reason why you broke up
You call her in the morning
When you're coming down and falling
Like an old man on the side of the road
'Cause when you're apart you don't want to mingle
When you're together you want to be single
Ever the chase to taste the kiss of bliss
That made your heart tingle
How much greener the grass is
With those rose tinted glasses
But the butterflies, they flutter by
And leave us on our asses
'Cause I love to feel love but I can't stand the rejection
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
I thought I was close, but under further inspection
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction
There's fish in the sea for me to make a selection
I'd jump in if it wasn't for my ear infection
'Cause all I want to do is try to make a connection
But it seems I've been running in the wrong direction
Oh, oh
Oh, oh I love to feel love but I can't stand the rejection
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
I thought I was close, but under further inspection
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction
I love to feel love but I can't stand the rejection
I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection
And I thought I was close, but under further inspection
It seems I've been running in the wrong direction
Oh, oh
Seems like I'm running in the wrong direction
Oh, oh
Seems like I'm running in the wrong direction
Oh
Well it seems I've been running in the wrong direction
Oh, no
Seems like I've been running in the wrong direction
Oh
But I thought lyrics are on the screen
When a music artist is able to accurately describe your life >>>>>>
He deserves the publicity and success he's got now.Very delicate the way he describes
the difficulty and ephemerality of human relations..admitting his own mistakes..
"I've got the wrong direction" Superb use of the English language in all of his songs.
Remind me of the French chansonniers: Charles Trenet, Guy Beart, and many ,many more.
underrated song, deserves a lot more publicity :-)
2024 ones, raise your ✋

Wow... confronting... story of my life as well, untill i found her.. the love of my life. Had some tears over this song when i heard it for the first on the radio yesterday. Im so happy with you
he needs more recognition than what he is now. Awesome singer.!!😍
this is the singer with whom I could connect myself . Feels like something, I don't know what when you find someone who is saying something which you have always thought and was confined only to your mind.
his voice is soo soft & warm *-*
7 years later,i liked your comment... 7 years😍
such a talented lad he is!great lyrics
Passenger most of ur songs r talking wth man,thnx 4 giving me a light
Such a great song.......never heard anything quite like it....it's almost like a folk/rap song...lol...love it!
When a simple song tells so much abt ur life... that' s why i love Passenger. ♡
He has one of the best voices i've heard. Love him, his songs are so great.
love that you posted:P
This suddenly popped up in my recommended and now I can't stop listening
Im so happy I just found this song :))) been loving Passenger a lot lately
same here ;)
hats off to d lyrics man....best n most thoughtful I evr heard
These are literally some of the best lyrics in an indie rock song I've heard to date. Some of, of course.
I find your songs so real
This is one of the best songs I've heard.
I've started listening Passenger because my father tell me to listen let her go and since that i'm falling in love with this music is so great :D
I think that instead of saying 'I'd jump in if it wasn't for my ear infection' it would sound a lot better if he said 'I'd jump in if it wasn't for my eerie reflection' I really think it would tie the song together quite nicely!
I think it's referring to the fact that when you have an ear infection you aren't supposed to swim. Both of them make sense though.
wowwwwwwwwwwwww!
"there's fish in the sea for me to make a selection, i'd jump in if it wasn't for my ear infection"
I think it's because he listened to what others keel telling him that's why he missed the opportunity
ear infection has a meaning guys😂😂😂
is beautiful the feeling of this pure voice. And those lyrics... Woooa! ITS AWESOME
Makes me want to cry
Passenger fan for life
Samee!
passenger you are a Legend indeed.. good song
This song completely hit the mark..Love it..this is exactly how it goes.
The song could be named "This is the life". Amazing! :)
You gotta love this authenticity
I've been a fan since I heard your song man.
love it! thanks uploader!
this song is awesome
I finally discovered music! Day and night I listen to this
I'd love to feel love but I can't stand the rejection. I hide behind my jokes as a form of protection. I thought I was close but under further inspection… beautiful lyrics, always inspiring.
I love this song

So nice. Lyrics and the music, and the voice. Love it
I wonder why this is the first time I'm hearing this song it should be known world wide❤🎉
