Passenger | Losing My Religion (R.E.M. Cover)

hey everyone !!

i just wanted to share this little video that we made ….

for those of you that have been following for a while , you might remember the “sunday night video” series that we made with the once and stu larsen a couple of years ago as we toured across america ?

basically we picked a cover song relating to a city that we were passing through . we would then play it at every show for a week before recording and filming a live version that we’d post up on youtube and Facebook etc ….

i look back so fondly on those videos and feel like they were a really cool way of keeping you guys up to date with where we were . plus it was loads of fun .

so ……

we’re gonna do it again only this time i don’t think the songs will necessarily have much to do with where we are - just some of our / your favourites .

also my amazing sound guys have cobbled together a mobile recording rig which means we can record without needing any power - this allows us to hopefully get out in to some really cool spots .

bellow is our first attempt …. the song is “losing my religion” by the mighty R.E.M and we shot it by tower bridge in london .

massive thanks to my incredible band and crew for working so hard on their "days off" to make these videos happen and of course to the incredibly talented Jarrad Seng for shooting it so beautifully .

please share it around as much as possible and also let us know what songs you want to hear in the comments section below (not "let it go" haha ;-))

When I first heard Passenger it was at a small gig in a town called Bellingen in Australia, and I just sort of stumbled across it. As it was in a small cafe I went to the first "official" looking person and asked where I paid. He gave me a huge smile and said he thought it was inside somewhere. Turned out that guy was Passenger and I've been listening to him ever since.

such talent, awesome voice, so much emotion in every song he sings. i was lucky enough to see him perform once made me tear up that time! ill never forget that concert! love artists like this!

[danatodd]

his voice is beautifully innocent. it's very interesting with this song. I really like this.

the cameraman has really shot this wonderfully, and the voice <3!!!

[preguinho]

Nice cover! The *last minute* is the BEST PART of the cover because it's when Mike sings as Mike and takes his voice style out, endorsing the song.

[marianamartinsvillas]

Love his voice so much! And his vibe! Thanks for your music!

[rocknroller]

I love his voice, it's so original.

2119 Damn never could/ can anyone improve this song ever yet however I am blown away that REM gave permission for this… All these years later I still enjoy & loving the especially acoustic’s plus vocal. R.E.M. you will sustain my heart ❤️. Yet thankfully Passenger I enjoy & brought special memories of friend back to heart. Libb you live on my heart. Blessings

I would love to see you do a Keane cover. I don't know...a song like Time To Go, or Difficult Child. Or Bedshaped.

Me encanta esta banda! Sus videos otorgan la visión de paisajes de otro modo, de un modo de disfrute que afianzan las ganas de viajar por todo el mundo, escuchando buena música, como ésta, claro.

I first found Passenger in the budwiser commercials and since then I've loved everything they've done! I love hearing these covers of my favorite 90's bands! Fast car and this song is the best thing i've heard covered in a long time!
