Why do I love Passenger? First he's been through hell and back trying to get his name out In the world, he sings the truth about today's society how we all are oblivious to our surrounds because of this terrible technology. He is just great overall, and I can't believe How his songs connect to me. I'm so glad there is actually some artist out there who still are down to earth like Passenger.
Man, he's such a true musician. His voice, his words --all of it seem to me to be so vital right now. I hope to support him and to see his work spread and change as many lives as it has the power to.
It's incredible how far he's come, especially in this past year. I'm so proud of him.. I remember the first time I heard the full All the Little Lights album and it just affected me so much; he's so talented and has a beautiful mind. God, he's wonderful.
He is like our very own Shakespeare of our time. What can I say? He speaks to our hearts, to our souls. He is classic and will live way beyond his years because of his beautiful music. Oh, and he has not let all the fame go to his head. He is still just a regular guy.
Passenger is such an inspiration for people who want to make it in music. I like when he says "You need to challenge yourself. Even though it might be really uncomfortable. It is a really really good and necessary to do as a human."
heard 'let her go' on a local radio station the other day......thought 'what a great song....nice lyrics and nice arrangement'....might try and do a cover of this if the chords are simple enough....delved the 'net and WOW.....this guy blows me away.....he is so true to himself and his music....and it's brilliant music.....he deserves great success for his dedication to his art.
Stay humble, and grounded. Your sacrifices that you had to make comes through in your music. I think people listening to you, will realise that it is not always easy, trying to break into the music industry. But clearly your passion is your music, it really is touching to hear your raw emotion in your songs. You don't need the big band behind you, just that incredible voice and emotion. Love your sound!
Mike, your story is both inspiring and uplifting. You've come so far and still have so far to go, may your future be filled with happiness and success. I have never heard of you until a few weeks ago when a radio station here in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania played your song Let Her Go and I was hooked as soon as I heard it. Now they play it once an hour and it's a massive hit here. You've got so many fans that there are thousands of people performing covers of your creation. Congratulations!
I wish people new what real music was in America, your great, oh so great. Always I have been attracted to that transient life but never really get to go far but bask in those I have found to give a nights shelter to listen to there story seems my reward to stay safely. I've always wished I could find some one to work with again on music. It's my happiness! I would love to see Ireland and am half Irish and see you perform.
Hey you're on the right track & we love ya whether ya Let her Go or your on the Wrong Direction keep 'em coming on Mike Rosenberg you're the Passenger so bring it on !
I will tell you why I like passenger, because he is kind, his song gives me a idea, his voice can cure my sadness, my only wish is to sing with passenger my favourite song, let her go
As a big fan of more musically talented bands/singers like Passenger, I don't think you should be concerned of him going mainstream anytime soon, or perhaps never. It seems that most listeners/audiences lack in taste or are not good enough to tell what really is good in life, whether it's music, art, film, or other things in general.
This point made me want to hear him speak. Any persons singing voice will be generally simular to the speaking voice. As an example though, a man may sing falsetto where he will sing in a higher pitch but this is essentially unatural. So, anyone can make of it what they will and decide whether this is Mike Rosenbergs natural singing voice or not. I'll use Bob Dylan as an example to say that most singing voices do not differ so much from speaking voices. Unless it's done on purpose.
Exactly the same eye colour as me. And I can do the exact voice. Just pretend your telling a nursery rhyme and being so sweet. And you will get the voice. THe song uses the FGA keys which is just Hit Central really. But yeah it's a simple song which has been done many times before. Like I got my mind set on you by the late Beatle that was George Harrison. The rest of his songs will just be crap.

Obriga
He sounds so different talking then singing
One person can be home to another anywhere all the time if it's right.
Feather on the Clyde
I was not expecting him to talk like that. Lol

when he sings he puts on a fake voice!!!

He reminds me of a hobbit
