Hello everyone , hope you’re all really good ! Here is the seventh video from our “runaway” roadtrip series . This one was shot in Detroit and is called “GHOST TOWN” . I have only ever played once in Detroit - a few years ago at a beautiful old venue called the filmore and it was definitely one of the stand out shows of the tour . I have to be honest , before that evening I was quite unaware of what the city had been through . We had a few beers and a chat with some locals after the show and they gave me a brief history lesson …. The birth place of Motown and once the thriving home to much of the American motor industry (General Motors , ford etc ) the city then fell on hard times as cars became cheaper to make over seas . Many of the factories and plants closed down leaving thousands of workers unemployed and with few prospects . Over the years more and more people left Detroit in search of opportunity and as a result houses and in some cases entire neighbourhoods were completely abandoned . I remember this idea really sticking with me . The thought of a real life ghost town was so sad and bizarre . A few years later I wrote this song . We spent two days filming there on our trip and it was quite an overwhelming experience . Driving through silent streets that would have once been bustling neighbourhoods and walking in to abandoned houses still full of peoples discarded possessions and old lives . it was deeply sad and honestly quite a difficult couple of days . I hope we’ve captured some of the mood and atmosphere with this video . Massive thanks as always to jarrad seng for nearly freezing his fingers off during the making of this and also to stu larsen and chris vallejo. Please share it around if you can . Loads of love and many thanks . Mike xx Ps I need to say that this is only the situation in a few areas and Detroit for the most part seems like a really cool town . The last thing I want to do with this song is to paint an unfair picture of the place or offend anyone !!!

LYRICS:-🤗🤗 Take a walk in a ghost town The sky is as black as crows They don't make cars like they used to here Times, they change And factories close Take a ride on a ghost train Stare at the windows See, time moves fast as a hurricane But it's so strange It feels so slow But sometimes it gets so cold down here Well I swear it burns The wind like fire coming off of the Great Lakes Sometimes it gets so dark in here Hey, I see it turn The emptiness that moves within my soul We're down in a ghost town See the crash in the rust See the ash in the dust Feel it slipping through your hands Falling on the shoes and the shoulders Of the ragged man See the pride and the shame Like fire and the flame Well, it burns through every man And drops them like drunken soldiers On the river banks Well, sometimes it gets so cold down here Hey I swear it burns The wind like fire coming off of the Great Lakes Sometimes it gets so dark in here Well I see it turn The emptiness that moves within my soul We're down in a ghost town Well, sometimes it gets so cold down here Hey, I swear it burns The wind like fire coming off of the Great Lakes Sometimes it gets so dark in here Oh, I see it turn The emptiness that moves within my soul We're down in a ghost town
I feel teary after watching this video, thinking about how some places that were once thriving, have become ghost towns. Mike, you are a master at creating music that connects with people. Well done to you and your team for another excellent, moving music video.
I’ve met and worked with a few people who lost their home and the life they had there in Detroit. It makes you think about life in a different way, to learn that all you have and even your job can be snatched away from you. This song is fantastic and represents so many who still yearn for the times past they had in their life. I’ll be sharing this with the people I know who actually lived there and left part of their soul there. 🙂
Triggers one of the happiest times of my life. Taking the ferry to France on holidays with my family with not a care in the world for the first time in about 8 years.
Detroit is an incredible place to live. Not many places have the spirit to rise from the ashes, but we are well on the way. Thanks for the tribute to my home. Next time you pass through we would love a concert 😉. If you ever read this I just wanted to add that I’ve always hoped you might cover “Bridge Over Troubled Water” someday.
The song lyrics at times seem to describe the world we are living in. "Sometimes it gets so dark in here Hey, I see it turn The emptiness that moves within my soul We're down in a ghost town" A black and white video brings the right look. I love you passenger!
Simple and effective lyrics, the meaning of each line in the verse is loud and clear. Heart touching with no non sense. Lovely to hear him sing the song so beautifully.... He reminds me of the simple things in life like the air I breathe, Hearing the breath that livens my soul, yet I cant see what I breath in and out, I cant hold it nor catch it, that rhythm of a few breaths which makes my life, Sometimes its so heartening to hear our own breath in a ghost town of silence ... Because one day thats where I will be ....
This song speaks so well to me. It moves me. It is Friday 22nd November 2024, and I needed to put this song on repeat to just travel through my mind's eyes. Aren't some parts of our lives a Ghost Town???? Thank you, Michael, for this beautiful piece that gives me peace.
Sahayog Pokhrel MIke’s stage name is Passenger. He was once in a band named Passenger, but that band no longer exists. Also, I’m not sure if Roseburg was a typo but his last name is Rosenberg.
Hey there, Passenger or Mike, hope you read this from a huge fan. I find your lyrics so poetic, I know that so many people has said this to you, but I don't just say it, I say it and I mean it. Thanks so much for making the world a better place.
All I can say is, thanks for making such meaningful and moving music. Your songs have helped me through some extremely difficult personal times over the last three years, and I hope I can tell you this face to face someday.
Could have filmed it on a UK industrial wasteland - Pyestock North near us looks just like that, once you look past the housing developer's glossy hoarding. Beautiful imagery and emotion and a great arrangement of musicians/instruments and lyrics Mike. May it bring you the deserved benefits of being enjoyed by thousands of people!
It makes you wonder that all those abandoned buildings and especially houses were once lively places where famalies and friends made memories for themselves
Everything you produce is absolutely stunning and breath-taking. I'd sell my inner organs to see you live again. Never had I been in such a warm atmosphere and at my happiest than at the YATMOATS tour venue in Manchester. Your talent is endless.
This man is such an amazingly talented artist, I believe him no matter what he sings because he is so genuinely sincere!! Such a joy to listen to!!! ♥️
im in ghost town no one loves me no one is here for me.. . i feel just empty .. i wanna get filled with love.. i dont wanna be like this.. 😔😔😞😞 whenever i try to be happy, something bad always happens.. i afraid to be happy.. 😞😞 i need love
your voice is one of the best that I have heard yet...you remind me of my past... the sound is amazing...just like you... the most popular singer in these years are pretty bad .... actually $H!T
Why is this making me having a sad nostalgia of my childhood, missing something that i will never able to experience again, it's soo sad and my eyes are teary...
Only Lovers Left Alive.. I can only think of the film when you guys described the current situation of parts of the City of Detroit.. Its a beautiful video..Your voice always portrays emotions and this time its like a charcoal painting..

LYRICS:-🤗🤗
Take a walk in a ghost town
The sky is as black as crows
They don't make cars like they used to here
Times, they change
And factories close
Take a ride on a ghost train
Stare at the windows
See, time moves fast as a hurricane
But it's so strange
It feels so slow
But sometimes it gets so cold down here
Well I swear it burns
The wind like fire coming off of the Great Lakes
Sometimes it gets so dark in here
Hey, I see it turn
The emptiness that moves within my soul
We're down in a ghost town
See the crash in the rust
See the ash in the dust
Feel it slipping through your hands
Falling on the shoes and the shoulders
Of the ragged man
See the pride and the shame
Like fire and the flame
Well, it burns through every man
And drops them like drunken soldiers
On the river banks
Well, sometimes it gets so cold down here
Hey I swear it burns
The wind like fire coming off of the Great Lakes
Sometimes it gets so dark in here
Well I see it turn
The emptiness that moves within my soul
We're down in a ghost town
Well, sometimes it gets so cold down here
Hey, I swear it burns
The wind like fire coming off of the Great Lakes
Sometimes it gets so dark in here
Oh, I see it turn
The emptiness that moves within my soul
We're down in a ghost town
thanks about it

I feel teary after watching this video, thinking about how some places that were once thriving, have become ghost towns. Mike, you are a master at creating music that connects with people. Well done to you and your team for another excellent, moving music video.
So true - my whole family is from NE Ohio and now we're spread out like a diaspora.
I love this man , that voice is total magic .
I’ve met and worked with a few people who lost their home and the life they had there in Detroit. It makes you think about life in a different way, to learn that all you have and even your job can be snatched away from you.

The reminder is always there... I love you man
The instrumental at 3:41 has a Godly feeling to it
Thats what I was searching for..I want to upload that song with search music in instgram story with picture but I couldnt find...
Passenger is king of the music!
I like the fact that this song has a meaning and isn't filled with half naked girls, alcohol and drugs. Such an amazing song💕
Baked girls would probably taste gross ;)
@@woodys9841 shit that was meant to say naked😂lol
Aleena R i agree with you...music is lot more than naked girls and drugs..
@@guitardost yeah
desi
That violin part, oh man!! 💗😭
So meaningful and heartfelt.
Woaw do we even deserve this guy.. So pure!! 👼
...i'am 66....and have never seen such hopeless place....very intensive song, Mike!
This is a warm hug for my ears and soul ... Thank you for making my life calmer every time I listen to you Passenger!!!
I don’t have words that explain how this song effects you. It’s touching & beautiful. Thank you Mike
With all the depression and sorrow in this world this is exactly what we needed right now. Thank you Passenger 🙏 !
I love uu passenger
Triggers one of the happiest times of my life. Taking the ferry to France on holidays with my family with not a care in the world for the first time in about 8 years.

We love you Mike!❤

This hit different with corona virus and the lockdown

You hold a special place in my heart brother. You're just unexplainable.
Your songs takes me somewhere 🥺🥰🥰🥰
@Passenger
Your songs helped me though a lot
Youre the man💥
Lots of songs protesting social injustice are angry, this one is sublime and beautiful, and every bit as effective.
Your toooo underrated Passenger!!
His name is michael roseburg and band's name is passenger . Although he is underrated he is in our hearts!! 😍😍
Sahayog Pokhrel MIke’s stage name is Passenger. He was once in a band named Passenger, but that band no longer exists. Also, I’m not sure if Roseburg was a typo but his last name is Rosenberg.
The voice is the thing that makes the difference and the huge amount of "soul" put in the performance ...
