      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

  • @ladygerald
    @ladygerald 3 года назад +764

    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.

    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

    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.

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.

    LYRICS: [Verse 1]
    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 stay under glass
    I look through my window so bright
    I see the stars come out tonight

    We'll ride through the city tonight
    We'll see the city's ripped backsides
    We'll see the bright and hollow sky
    We'll see the stars that shine so bright
    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
    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

    [Verse 5]
    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 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
    [Chorus]
    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

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.
