Attempt to capture chords from the new song Passenger posted in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. He fingerpicks the entire song with lots of his usual hammer-ons. The notes in parentheses are individual walking notes up the high E string (listed relative to the capo in the same way as the chords). the instrumental section after the first chorus. Capo 5 to play along with the original video he posted 05 April 2020: https://youtu.be/wlxMSC9wVwc Note that he changed a couple of the lyrics from this original version to the version he released on his Patchwork album. In verse 4 he changed "sunset" to "sunrise" and in the final chorus he changed "And there’s nothing much to hold onto for now" to "And there’s nothing you can hold onto for now" to match the first chorus.

À propos de la chanson

Cette chanson évoque les douleurs et les incertitudes liées à la vie, surtout dans un contexte de souffrance collective. Elle rappelle que malgré les difficultés, il existe toujours de la beauté à observer, comme les étoiles brillantes d'une autre ville ou la mer qui invite à l'évasion. L'artiste encourage à se raccrocher à ces petites joies, même si tout semble instable. Le contexte est celui de la pandémie de COVID-19, un moment de changement et d'angoisse pour beaucoup. Dans ce cadre, des messages d'espoir et de résilience émergent, tout en reconnaissant les réalités de la tristesse et du désespoir. C'est une invitation à garder la foi, à prendre un moment pour apprécier les choses simples, comme le cadre paisible des canaux de Venise.
