Passenger releases new single ‘What You’re Waiting For’ – watch the lyric video

Passenger has released his new single ‘What You’re Waiting For’ along with its lyric video.

ā€˜What Youā€™re Waiting Forā€™Ā offers a subtle stylistic shift inĀ Passengerā€™sĀ sound. Operating in the wilderness between a rasp and a whisper, his vocal continues to have the intimacy of a shared secret, yet itā€™s set to indie / alternative rock with an ā€˜80s edge that echoesĀ R.E.M.Ā orĀ The Smiths. That introspection also feeds into the lyrics, which useĀ Passengerā€™sĀ own experiences as a launchpad for a more universal emotion.
Ā 
ā€œIā€™d got to a point in my life where I should be really happy, but there was something that I still wasnā€™t content with,ā€Ā he confesses.Ā ā€œWeā€™re all taught to strive for certain things, like a good job, a big house and lots of money. But if and when we get there, weā€™re surprised that it doesnā€™t make us happy. I think everything thatā€™s happened over the last year has highlighted that, and weā€™ve all started to realise whatā€™s important and what actually makes us happy.ā€

The song is taken from Passenger’s sixth UK Top 10 album ‘Songs For The Drunk and Broken Hearted’, which peaked at number two the week of release.

PassengerĀ is set to embark upon his first fullĀ UKĀ andĀ IrelandĀ headline tour in three years. It commences inĀ AugustĀ and calls at theĀ O2 Academy BrixtonĀ onĀ September 8th. Further dates, covering Europe, North America and Australia, are also scheduled.
