Passenger | Sword From The Stone (Official)

The day has finally arrived and I’m delighted to say that my 13th studio album “songs for the drunk and broken hearted” is OUT NOW!! You can listen to it on all streaming platforms or buy a copy from my website. Massive thanks to everyone who has already preordered it!! I couldn’t be prouder of this record. Its been a long road to get to this point but I think the album is all the better for it… we thought we’d finished it early last year and had it all ready to come out in May but due to lockdown/general global meltdown we decided to hold it back and I’m so glad we did… In that time I wrote a bunch of new songs and ended up adding a few of them to the album… one of which is here for your listening and viewing pleasure 😇 Its called “sword from the stone” some of you might remember that it also featured on my “patchwork” album released in the summer… I’m not in the habit of putting the same track on multiple albums but the two versions are so different that I think/hope its ok 😇 I wrote this song in the first lockdown when I was feeling pretty wonky and weird about the world and as a result I feel like it might have captured something that has been universally experienced this year- The way that time has seemed to pass horribly slowly and strangely quickly all at once and the emotional rollercoaster that we have all been on A gigantic thank you to Chris Vallejo and everyone involved in making this album sound as it does, to Sarah Larnach for the beautiful artwork and to Raja Virdi and the full crew for making the video so beautiful! A massive thanks to Dan Medland , Rebekah Tayler and everyone at IE Music , Nettwerk and Cooking Vinyl for helping to get this record out in to the world I’m so lucky to have this extraordinary team of people that believe in what I do and work so hard for it And lastly, my heartfelt thanks to all of you for your continued and incredible support. i’m so proud to have you all as fans and friends. I really do hope that you enjoy listening to this collection of songs as much as we’ve enjoyed recording them thank you for reading and enjoy “songs for the drunk and broken hearted” All my love Mike xx

How many international fans are here? 🌍

Lost my wife 3 years ago. This is the experience. Thank you for giving voice to so many feelings.

"Because I'm fine, then I'm not. Spinning round and I can't stop" - That hits harder than you'll ever know

How come Ed Sheeran is a phenomenon yet this guy is virtually unknown? A truly gifted songwriter with a voice like honey dripping onto a razor blade. More please.

Sucks when you see the galaxy in someone's eyes and they can't see a single star in yours...

Going through anxiety ... This man helps me to heal. To all the viewers, lots of love . Stay safe and strong

He's not only a musician, he's a poet too, a thinker with a beautiful mind and soul. Thank you for speaking for us too through these masterpieces!!🙏🙌💕💖

"Can't Pull the Sword from the Stone" is the best metaphor for a broken heart I've ever heard. It works on so many levels.

He starts singing, and I start crying, inside. His voice…his voice tells a story on its own, no matter what the lyrics are…

"and there comes a time when you meet someone in life, too precious that regardless of the fact that you know you cant reach/have each other but still you want to give them your heart and get your heart broken and then taking it as a privilege to have your heart broken by that specific person. some breaks arent just breaks and some wounds arent just wounds but joy in the deepest of one's soul." Dr. Ebad Safi Sending Everyone Prayers who have lost a person whom they thought will have it forever. Stay Strong, My Friend.

Fantastic!!! I am 66 yrs old and you came into my life in 2010 and have saved my life many times, bless you beautiful soul!!

If you're listening to this kind of music, you were endowed with a special soul...

I lost my hamster a few days ago, I loved her to bits, she had the most sensitive soul. She was very unwell, and her death was so sudden and premature. my heart is broken because I have to ask how something so innocent and beautiful can be taken away in an instant. I have been on the rollercoaster of grief since. I remember listening to this song religiously when it was first released, its truly a poignant work of art. I haven't listened to it since 2021, however since she passed, this song has lingered in my mind... constantly. I haven't actively played the song since she passed, but my connection to it has felt strangely and intuitively strong. I just took a trip to the supermarket and what are the chances that this song at 11pm played right the way through as I was walking through the isles. I know you're up there Boo :)

YouTube comment section feels so beautiful when strangers share thier heart touching stories. Feeling blessed.

This is the best song I’ve heard this year so far

"Both the cats say hi and they miss you too"😳😭😭😭😭

Idk but, time by time His voice is feeling like I'm getting connected to the universe

Dont know why but this song makes me cry , the lyrics are so clever .

Mike is a genius and so underrated in this country, he is just so good
