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!

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!

You got one majestic beard there. And a fancy moustache. And great voices. And great music. And...
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 ❤️

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 🍻

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.
Aww...Passenger is getting older but his voice still on point 😊
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
For anyone going through a hard time right now, hang in there. "This too shall pass". ❤
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!

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
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.
Thank you, Mr. Rosenberg.
The two of you singing together is a dream come true. Beautiful harmony!

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.
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
Never thought a Passenger song could sound better but adding Foy to it gives it a grittier feel that I really love
Absolutely Heartfelt! Love from the Philippines 🇵🇭
Nice and unique voices both 👍👍
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 🕯!
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 🇬🇭
Incredibly excited to hear Foy Vance on this, can't wait for tomorrow!

It is the one of the best song by passenger ,hugely underrated
One thing that i learned from Passenger and from this music was "don't cry for the lost smile for the living" an that was about 10 years ago... and i've been happier since
Recently lost my mother and this song meant a lot to her❤️🕊️
Seems like it was yesterday when I first heard this song and now it's better than ever! Come back to Mexico, we all miss you 🎉
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?
Listening 10 years on and the magic is still there. Your lyrics never fail to move me.

No one illustrates it better than an English man.life is for the living: so live it!
I've been obsessed with this song for a decade since 2012. Now I've got to listen to another version for another decade.
The duo we never knew we needed!!!! This is breathtaking ❤❤❤
When the music is so pure, there's no one can dislike them.

Found this while listening to the song “Dupe - Cash “ 😅😅
That was fucking beautiful. You probably won't read this, but you have no idea how much this song means to me. When I first found your song, Let Her Go, after listening on replay for like 2 days I decided to listen to the full album, and god damn it I made the right choice. After "All The Little Lights" I went and listen to "Wicked Man's Rest" and there was no way back from your music. I'm very much glad you decided to revisit this album, and I cannot wait to hear the rest of it. Much love!
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

This song has a real Van Morrison feel, especially with the soulful brass. I can see Glen Hansard performing this with Passenger.
Best musician ever! Simple song with deep meaning! Passenger forever❤
Holy crap, that's excellent.
How can you make something already amazing sound even better!? Can’t wait for the new CD to come through my letter box!!! ❤🥃
I have nothing to say than to say THANK YOU SO MUCH😢... Your songs change ny view of life in all aspect. Songs like this one, chasing gold, the way that i love you, rolling stone, everything, and so on... So so good ❤❤❤
Esta canción es un grito a la libertad. De vivir la vida. Sin más. Tus letras, tus canciones, tu música... Son inspiración. Gracias Mike.❤
Thank you so much dearest Mike 🤗❤️🥰🙏🏽😀😘 You are like my inner voice. When I can't hear myself and there is so much noise then I turn to you.
Dear Mr. Passenger. This is a high flying peace of Master. Inspiring, wiring, sad and happy. Cheers
He's always been living in our hearts with his pretty songs 💕
The video is amazing!!! I love the locations you choose for your videos, they're really the perfect match for your beautiful songs 😻🎤🎸💫
I listened to this on repeat for hours on a greyhound bus travelling the East coast of Australia 12 years ago and it brought me to tears because I was the other side of the world from everyone I loved and it made me realise exactly what is important.
Another song by Passenger that's gonna last decades
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. Special song with such amazing lyrics, they can mean so many different things to different people and people relate to them. They definitely have a special place in my heart.
Classic beauty! A true poetry! Massive energy.❤
🎉😢 I find myself whenever I'm listening to his song @passenger hit me to my soul . Feeling like its me singing
Literally WOW. What a song.

Its pure magic to experience this music in two different moments of my life, ten years ago i was a complete different person, but i still love this music, im still in love with this album, passenger is still my favorite band in the world! Thanks Mike, for bring all this feelings back, you are the real deal! Lots of love from a fan in Brazil!
