I identified so much with this letter yesterday I was 17 and I thought I would always have them and I yelled at my mother, then I saw her tears and then And I knew I let my parents down .. then it was me who cried for forgiveness, now ten years later... I've seen my friends' moms die and that's when you realize how stupid you were sometimes and how quickly time passes
MICHAEL, YOUR MUSIC HAS KEPT ME LIVING. YOU HAVE SAVED MY LIFE, NUMEROUS TIMES. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOUR MUSIC. I HEAR THE PAIN AND LOVE IN YOUR VOICE WHILE YOU SING. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART❤
"All you can do is try, for it's gone in the blink of an eye". I'm 29 and I relate to every single word of this song and the soul behind the words. Thank you Mike for being a huge part of my existence.
Goose bumps when u spoke about ur little song travelling the world. I remember finding u on RUclips 10 yrs ago and following u. 27 and let her go was me and my daughters favorite. We wer do happy wen let her go got number 1, we felt like we had won it lol. Ur music reminds me of her everyday. I lost my family forever not that long ago. Ur music will remind me of them everyday. We all loved u. ❤
Mike's songs have this characteristic effect: they touch our very soul. I've loved the "passenger" since the first time I heard the first song. All of them are made with the heart.
Somehow Michael's songs slows down time and makes one reflect on life and envision peace and fulfillment. This is how I feel everytime I listen you his songs 😊😊❤
Sir, u r rock! You depict life so accurately! All highs and lows in life you have to pass, and when we remember those times, it feels weird that everything changed so fast. You are great, and I feel lucky to find you and your songs a year ago. Keep making good songs, sir, and never lose your touch coz that's the most beautiful part of your arts
The funny thing about a song is that the artist will never know how many lives he has touched. Lost my grandma two months back, and it has never been the same. She meant the world to me, and I am so happy that I was able to say it all, do it all before it was too late. I am so happy to have lived each moment with joy and love. And it's midnight, I am sipping on some cola, all teary eyed and in peace. Guys, whoever's listening, may this be your call, make peace with all those who matter to you. I have seen people living with regret and that's not pretty! Separation from your loved ones is never pleasant, but we can make that a little less unpleasant. May you have peace, and God bless
Such a moving song; it sounds like a journey through his life (reminiscent of "27"). I've played it on loop so many times now; for whatever reason it gives me hope that my "stars will align" too.
I remember being young, I remember the dreams I had. I gave up on love after failing at it twice I will be seventy-five in two months Even without the true love, I dreamed of, I live on Without music, life would not have been worth living. Let music forever ease our pain and come to our aid in times of trouble... Thank you, Micheal, thank you for your music... Baz...👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you for always being so raw and fearless, Mike. You're an inspiration. Your music has had such a positive influence on my life and has helped me scare away so much darkness. You're an absolute gem 💫
"now I'm here at 36" When I hear this line I think back to '27' from Whispers in 2014. Like you say it happens in the blink of an eye. Thankyou for your music Mike.
Another beautiful song from you that I relate to. I'm only a year older than you and can't believe how time has flown, but also how much I've done in my capacity in my short time on Earth. It's nostalgic and terrifying at the same time, if that makes any sense. We need to make the most of every day. Thank you for being so genuine in all aspects. Please never change and may every success be yours.
another year, another album, another story of mine that will be forever remembered with your songs as soundtrack... simply grateful to you for these pearls that have accompanied my life so far
OMG 😍🥺 really your music has been my engine to follow every day, I love the lyrics, the melody and above all the essence, in short they are an incredible group 😍🥺 thank you for giving us such a beautiful work of art.
I’ve been a fan since waaay back, my 5 sons all fans and now my 15 yr old grandson who has gone to your concerts with me since 2017 😂 Love this song! The whole Album is fantastic! Thanks for this wonderful surprise !❤

Thank you so much for making this "song" available online💚!! The expressiveness of the lyrics, together with the song's fantastic lines, created a cheerful sense in my surrounding ,making it "well worth" listening to at any time of day. I wish you and your entire team all the best !!
Music is anything pleasant to the ears but your music is different, it's full or meaning and that makes you the best Michael.. It's like you sing for everyone.. It's all reality
May God bless tesh for playing your song while I was in school, I fell in love with your song when I was 23, I was in love but it didn't last too.. I'm still trying to figure it all out(life), career wisely, financially and all.. But I know I have a great future, thanks for all your awesome messages through the beautiful songs

{ Verse 1}
I was a dreamer when I was young
Lyin’ on the grass, starin’ at the sky
I never felt the time was moving on
I thought it would stay the same
For all my life
Playin’ games under Christmas lights
When the world was warm and bright
But that time just seemed to fly
In the blinking of an eye
{Verse 2}
I was a joker when I was at school
Smokin’ grass, laughing and gettin’ high
I never cared about nothin’ at all
I thought it would stay the same
For all my life
Kissing girls under summer nights
When the world was big and bright
But that time just passed me by
In the blinking of an eye
{Verse 3}
I left home at seventeen
Tried to get into the music scene
It wore me down like an old machine
I learnt how to work and forgot how to dream, oh
Yeah
{Verse 4}
I fell in love at twenty-one
Down in the grass, getting lost in her wide eyes
Wouldn’t have traded it for anyone
I thought it would stay the same
For all my life
But I was just too young to know
I let her down and let her go
That time taught me how to cry
In the blinking of an eye
In the blinking of an eye
{Verse 5}
I hit the road at twenty-three
Stood in the grass, singing songs for passers-by
Foot-loose and fancy-free
I thought it would stay the same
For all my life
Oh and practice taught me how to preach
I touched the world, so out of reach
And that time, it lived and died
In the blinking of an eye
{Verse 6}
It all changed at twenty-nine
My boat came in and the stars aligned
I watched a simple song of mine
Travel the world in the blink of an eye, yeah
Yeah
{Outro}
Now I’m here at thirty-six
Down in the grass, tryna make sense of it all
Maybe there’s no easy fix
The highest highs come with the hardest falls
See the good times come and go
Like the people that you know
And all you can do is try
For it’s gone in the blink of an eye
Thank you so much
Thanks ig? xD
Lovely music, listening from Zambia where Enock Mwepu and Patson Daka both playing in EPL hail from.
I LOVE YOUR MUSIC TO BE HONEST.
I identified so much with this letter yesterday I was 17 and I thought I would always have them and I yelled at my mother, then I saw her tears and then And I knew I let my parents down .. then it was me who cried for forgiveness, now ten years later... I've seen my friends' moms die and that's when you realize how stupid you were sometimes and how quickly time passes
In twenty nine he succes and travel the world right? 😍
Thus made me cry for real....I am so proud of you.
MICHAEL, YOUR MUSIC HAS KEPT ME LIVING. YOU HAVE SAVED MY LIFE, NUMEROUS TIMES. I LOVE YOU. I LOVE YOUR MUSIC. I HEAR THE PAIN AND LOVE IN YOUR VOICE WHILE YOU SING. THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART❤

are you ok?

Not just you bro
"All you can do is try, for it's gone in the blink of an eye". I'm 29 and I relate to every single word of this song and the soul behind the words. Thank you Mike for being a huge part of my existence.
Put, your faith in the Lord. I pray everyday. I started going back to church. Jesus is my everything.
Fantastic, as always. Both my son and I are huge fans (he's 21, I'm 59) - just shows the range of people your music reaches!
I'm almost 67 and Passenger is one of the greatest songwriters I have ever heard.
A 16 years old huge fan is here!🤣
Iam 20 l discovered his music when I am 16 and as l grow I relate to his music even more

I remember being young, I remember the dreams I had.
I gave up on love after failing at it twice
I will be seventy-five in two months
Even without the true love, I dreamed of, I live on
Without music, life would not have been worth living.
Let music forever ease our pain and come to our aid
in times of trouble...
Thank you, Micheal, thank you for your music...
Baz...👍👍👍👍👍
