The band seemed almost brash to some. Passenger&#39;s usual isolated, remarkably distinctive vocals stuffed beneath the melodic racket.<\/p>\n<div class=\"getty embed image\" style=\"background-color:#fff;display:inline-block;font-family:'Helvetica Neue',Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#a7a7a7;font-size:11px;width:100%;max-width:372px;\">\n<div style=\"padding:0;margin:0;text-align:left;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/626871688\" style=\"color:#a7a7a7;text-decoration:none;font-weight:normal !important;border:none;display:inline-block;\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><\/div>\n<div style=\"overflow:hidden;position:relative;height:0;padding:159.677419% 0 0 0;width:100%;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" frameborder=\"0\" height=\"594\" scrolling=\"no\" src=\"\/\/embed.gettyimages.com\/embed\/626871688?et=2Sf8teEtSwN3Ez-DCHSfXQ&amp;viewMoreLink=off&amp;sig=xnI624Ut7LvAfexfDQMD9TxRj_bQNPPed1oW_0K1nJQ=&amp;caption=true\" style=\"display:inline-block;position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;margin:0;\" width=\"372\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p style=\"margin:0;\">&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>Though Passenger did treat the crowd to a few acoustic ballads, the exceptionally beautiful <strong>Travelling Alone<\/strong>&nbsp;one to be named.<\/p>\n<p>He introduced the heart-breaking song with its story, silencing the crowd completely with the miserable tale that left him with a wonderfully crafted song.<\/p>\n<p>The night consisted of an emotional imbalance throughout, ranging from the melancholy to the cheerier songs like <strong>I Hate<\/strong>&nbsp;leaving the crowd in stitches, especially when Passenger switched one of the lyrics to &ldquo;I hate people who pay money to see gigs, and <em>wolf-whistle<\/em> through every fucking song,&rdquo; something which had been happening throughout the gig. A bit of a joke on Manchester&rsquo;s behalf.<\/p>\n<p>Folk-singer Passenger also made a point about his hit number one &lsquo;<strong>Let Her Go<\/strong>&nbsp;being controversially mixed with Disney&#39;s Frozen&rsquo;s <strong>Let <em>It<\/em> Go<\/strong>, with many people flocking up to his gigs in hope&rsquo;s to hear the crazed Disney tune, leaving disappointed.<\/p>\n<p>The crowd was kept alive by Passengers genuine sense of humour throughout, with many people feeling like they were at a comedy gig. His phenomenal vocals and overwhelming desire to musically impress definitely set it apart from any average Michael Mcintyre show.<\/p>\n<p>Passenger will eventually finish the UK leg of his &lsquo;Young as the morning, old as the sea&rsquo; tour in Edinburgh on December 8.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Singer-songwriter Passenger left Manchester completely captivated last Wednesday night, after splendidly playing to a sold-out O2 Apollo.
