Lyrics:
Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
The boy laughed and danced around in the rain
While launderettes cleaned clothes high heels rubbed toes
Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
Dressed in their suits and their boots well they all look the same
I took myself down to the cafe to find all the boys lost in books and crackling vinyl
And carved out a poem above the urinal that read
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you're given
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead
While the evening pulled the moon out of it's packet
Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket
We needed a nail but we tacked it 'til it fell of the wall
Yeah while pigeon's pecked drains, sparks flew like planes
The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stainsAnd we all had new iPhones but no one had no one to call
And i stumbled down to the stomach of the town
Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown
With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you're given
Yeah life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead
Or you’re better off dead
Well i'm sick of this town, this blind man's forage
They take your dreams down and they stick them in storage
You can have them back son when you've paid off your mortgage and loans
Oh hell with this place, i'll go it my own way
I'll stick out my thumb and i trudge down the highway
Someday someone must be going my way home
‘Till then i’ll make my bed from a disused car
With a mattress of leaves and a blanket of stars
And i’ll stitch the words into my heart with a needle and thread
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you're given
Yeah life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead
So don’t cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you're given
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead
Don’t you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you're given
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead

I remember listening to this song about 10 years ago for the very first time. I was so young and hadn't experienced a bit of life yet. It was significant to me then...but I understand the lyrics and meaning behind the song so much better now. I'm not sure if I should be mourning the loss of my innocence or celebrating the expance of my experience. Maybe just a little of both. Thank you Mike and Foy for breathing such a renewed life into this song!
Exacly man, this is the song I first played on my guitar, got me into Passenger. Such a special song!!
The more gray we have the better we relate to this song.
Divino verlos juntos cantando esta cancion y el video hermoso!! Desde Argentina!!!!!
Amo, ❤
❤
My husband passed 10 yrs ago this album got me through a lot! Today is his Birthday! Impeccable timing! Happy Birthday love. Forever 25
Do I know u?
Ditto only my husbands birthday was 7th of September and passed 10 yrs this November 💕
❤❤
Happy Birthday for Your Husband
May the souls of the dead rest in peace 🙏🏽
Occasionally, you search for music on RUclips. There are times when music finds its way to you... like this one! ❤
🎉 facts 🎉

Get what you need and give what you're given.

Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living.
Get what you need and give what you give.

Yesh
Listened to this song many times going to school when I was 16. Now I'm 26, released my first EP this morning and leaving France for Australia in 3 days, with no friend, no home, and no job waiting for me. All the Little Lights is a classic for me, I'm sure it inspired me to go it my own way years after ❤️
Bonne chance!!!
@@rafaboban merci 🙏
Like Mike, you are most welcome here 🇦🇺
@@shezgate Thanks 🫶
I’m landing in Melbourne, struggling to find a houseshare for now, but I’ll work it out once there
all the very best for your endeavours!!
“When we all had new iPhones, but no one had no one to call…” brilliant & pertinent.
This song helped me tremendously when I moved to the US from Chile. New start, New beginning, new people, new friends and the sadness of leaving my family behind. ...So, don't cry for the lost, smile for the living, get what you need and give what you're given, life's for the living so live it, or you better off dead... Thank you Mike, you're by far my favorite artist of the last 10 years. Cheers 🍻
Welcome!!!
Your comment sent chills.
Well done
PASSENGER passed by me today. My tears got dried and my confidence is back.
Yes, I am among the living and life is for me. I have to live it.
Great to hear!! Keep moving forward!
Yessir
My type of people forever. So loving and caring. God Bless You. You are so special. ❤
Heart of GOLD THANK YOU ❤️
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😅😅😅😅😅😊😊😊😊😊
I didnt think the song could be any better but Foy brings a whole new sound to it. Having this played at my funeral.
❤
R.I.P
You got one majestic beard there. And a fancy moustache. And great voices. And great music. And...
Aww...Passenger is getting older but his voice still on point 😊
When I first listened to Mike, I remember I was filled with goosebumps. He has got that angelic voice, his lyrics, and everything together makes him a great person. His songs are like a Poem to me. It makes me miss my literature classes back in school. Much much love from Ghana 🇬🇭
I’m going your way home! What a song!! Amen. God bless you man. I get it. Massive hugs. X
We‘ve played this song 10 years ago at our dad‘s funeral. Heard this album at his last hours. Always in our hearts and never forget this music. Means so much.
❤
❤
That was wonderful - the song, the scenery, and the harmonies at the end in particular 🤗! Can't wait for the rest of the songs! Happy All the Little Lights anniversary 🕯!
I remember chasing my dreams, which entailed migrating from my home country to England in search of a quality education and an improved life. Within the days leading to my travel, I abruptly began feeling nostalgic, Mike's songs got me through, even in the hardeest moments. The most awe-inspiring of songs was "Riding to New York". I remember listening to it as I trudge down the road leading to the library!
Today, I am a Master's Degree holder in Mechanical Engineering, and a first year PhD student at the University of Bolton, Greater Manchester. Thank you Mike for you soul-lifting music!
Best thing about your comment is you fucking did it you didnt five in to fear good on ya
im here in England from the Philippines. Taking meds for depression… i hope to make it just a year more here.😢 i will be home soon to be with my wife and kids.
@@lowlightRN keep holding on, and make friends here in England. I hope you find the healing that you seek.
I was 13 the first time I heard this song, now I'm 20 and its one of the songs that have gotten me through the most difficult times. Never would have been alive today if it weren't for Mike's music.
I've always known Passenger for "let her go", then I heard this song at the height of the pandemic and I was blown away...
It touched me in a way that I can't describe. This man is gifted and deserves all the flowers he's getting. Thank you Mike
Passenger has maintained his sound for the past many years. Every instrument still sounds the same: the drums, strings, etc. It's too beautiful to behold. Cheers , Champ
I moved to Australia because of this song haha Watching old videos of Passenger busking around Australia back in the day helped get me out of a pretty deep depression. I figured it was either do something drastic to change my life or that was it. When I stumbled across this song it gave me the last push to buy the plane tickets. Been a nomad ever since and I've never been happier.
Thanks Mike!
Cheers!! Keep moving forward and best of luck!
Nice and unique voices both 👍👍
Wel ,I'm feeling more happy through a good singer
Never thought a Passenger song could sound better but adding Foy to it gives it a grittier feel that I really love
Listening 10 years on and the magic is still there. Your lyrics never fail to move me.
❤
For anyone going through a hard time right now, hang in there. "This too shall pass". ❤
The two of you singing together is a dream come true. Beautiful harmony!
😮todos aqui são grandes admiradores de lindas músicas passenger merece reconhecimento eternamente fã que música deles ❤❤
Absolutely Heartfelt!
Love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
My Favorite Singer Ever, all your songs are so meaningful and touch the hearts, God bless you Micheal big Love from Palestine 💞❣❤
When the music is so pure, there's no one can dislike them.
Dont you cry for the lost, smile for the living, get what you need, and give what youre giving.
So its cry at work day uh?
Thank you, Mr. Rosenberg.
An underrated artist who has been consistent in producing quality music
Simply humble and honest music with meaningful content
Esta canción es un grito a la libertad. De vivir la vida. Sin más. Tus letras, tus canciones, tu música... Son inspiración. Gracias Mike.❤
Thanks so much for this one guys, I also lost my better half in the pandemic, and been in depression ever since. This song has given me something to live for guys. It's just hauntingly beautiful, if you know what I mean.
Back in 2014 my 22 y.o. best friend passed away. I was far from home studying in Edinburgh and it was a tough time for me. Mike did some of his busking/street concerts on the royal mile amb for the first time I heard his music. His music has always resonated with me since then. This album is my favourite and helped me smile a lot back then.
Classic beauty!
A true poetry!
Massive energy.❤
I love this song…. One of my favorites. Im so happy… also hell or high water is my absolute favorite.
I could listen the Acoustic versions all day long
Yeah, there are some days I put Hell and High water on loop for hours....😊😌
This has always been my favourite Passenger song and I love this re-release.
I like the Arabian scarf of Foy Vance. Amazing song and Dueto.
This song has a real Van Morrison feel, especially with the soulful brass. I can see Glen Hansard performing this with Passenger.
Recently lost my mother and this song meant a lot to her❤️🕊️
Goosebumps. Absolutely love that! Two incredible talents
Have been so moved by this man and his music from the beginning, God bless and TY!!
I am so thankful for you passenger, your music has gotten me through some of the worst times in my life, and I will always love listening to your music, to me your the inspiration for me in making music.
Increíble, espectacular, inmejorable, un placer escucharte!!
Ahhhh- my two favourite singers!! Both unique voices and talents. Fantastic- made my day!
Mike, your music lives in my heart. Simply outstanding!❤🌹
Oh Mike you beautiful soul! This is one of my favorite passenger songs ever and this version gave me chills! Loved the video and the collab
Lyrics
Well grey clouds wrapped round the town like elastic
Cars stood like toys made of Taiwanese plastic
The boy laughed at the spastic dancing around in the rain
While laundrettes cleaned clothes, high heels rub toes
Puddles splashed huddles of bus stop crows
Dressed in their suits and their boots
Well they all look the same
I took myself down to the cafe to find all
The boys lost in books and crackling vinyl
And carved out a poem above the urinal that read
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you're given
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead
While the evening pulled the moon out of it's packet
Stars shone like buttons on an old man's jacket
We needed a nail but we tacked it 'til it fell of the wall
While pigeon's pecked trains, sparks flew like planes
The rain showed the rainbows in the oil stains
And we all had new iPhone's but no one had no one to call
And I stumbled down to the stomach of the town
Where the widow takes memories to slowly drown
With a hand to the sky and a mist in her eye she said

Life's for the living so live it

Well I'm sick of this town, this blind man's forage
They take your dreams down and stick them in storage
You can have them back son when you've paid off
Your mortgage and loans
Oh hell with this place, I'll go it my own way
I'll stick out my thumb and I trudge down the highway
Someday someone must be going my way home
Till then I'll make my bed from a disused car
With a mattress of leaves and a blanket of stars
And I'll stitch the words into my heart with a needle and thread
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you're given
You know life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead
Don't you cry for the lost
Smile for the living
Get what you need and give what you're given
Life's for the living so live it
Or you're better off dead
Such a incredible artist. It’s been a honour, and an incredible experience following passenger throughout all these albums.
❤❤❤
Two of my favourites singing one of my favourite songs , I love singing along to this at a Passenger gig ❤
Someday, someone, must be going my way home❤❤️❤
What a magnificent duo you are. From the first notes, we remember this wonderful song and when Foy Vance's voice mixes with yours you become one. It's magical and awesome at the same time! Friendships! from Quebec, Canada🙂

This song has been with me since some of the hard times I've been through. I discovered it at your show in Montreal in 2018. It kept me going even when I didn't feel like fighting anymore. Thank you Mike for this cover and for all your work. This one is wonderful!

This is such an incredible re- recording of this song. It's always been special to me and i wasn't sure of this version at first but i actually think it's better then the original now.

Living life to the fullest means pursuing our passions, taking risks, and embracing new experiences. It means being present in the moment, cultivating gratitude, and fostering connections with ourselves and with others. It's about finding joy in the simple things, celebrating milestones, and learning from challenge

10 years ago this album introduced me to your music. I now own all your albums, and this one will also join my collection too. Thank you passenger (mike) your music has helped me through some of my toughest years. 😊
I've been obsessed with this song for a decade since 2012. Now I've got to listen to another version for another decade.
I could cry to every single one of your pieces. Thank you for your music Mike!
This song is so amazing....their voices are brilliant and the scenery is so beautiful 🌟🌻
