Music Downloads & Lyrics
hello everyone this is passenger here
basically over the last 3 to 4 years I
have been writing uh all of the songs
for an upcoming musical it is called the
unlikely pilgrimage of Harold Fry which
will be coming out this may we're here
today at Chester Festival theater to
film two or three songs and I'm about to
sit down with one of the musicals
producers Nick cityy so I hope you enjoy
and uh I'll see you all soon I'm sorry
sir sadly you can't talk with her
today are you the man that's traveling
from so very far away so here I am with
uh the show's producer Nick cidy we're
going to have a quick chat about how it
all came about I guess yeah hello hello
Cheers Cheers we had the rights to do uh
the stage musical of the unlikely
pilgrimage of Harold Fry and we were
looking for a modern folk sound for the
music I was just a massive fan to be
honest I was a huge passenger fan I
think that we were really interested in
finding a voice that is unique I think
given the story which feels like an old
folk tale it's a fable in a way it's a
you know it's a story about a man who
makes a pilgrimage um it feels very
English yeah it felt
like that it would work it it spoke to
the way I I write songs and always have
done done you know even when I was
busking and back in the day like I would
meet all these people on my travels
wasn't exactly a pilgrimage as such but
there were similarities like and there
are all these songs that throughout my
career people have told me their stories
and I've written them so I think reading
Harold Fry was like this is just another
version of this and it resonated with
you I remember that you were like I love
the story like and we felt it was
absolutely right for a musical because
you got the extra emotion of what people
can bring and sometimes uh you know
narratives in drama you can't it's the
subtext that's interesting and with the
musical you get to hear what's going on
inside these people's heads yeah after
they begin so imagine our surprise to
see the light shine in her
eyes every time she sees one of your
postcards is arrived so all though it
sounds ridiculous it's really quite
miraculous I think you might be helping
her survive we said can you write a song
for this scene and you delivered a song
called you're you're yeah
took it very literally yeah but it was
and I have to say from our point of view
it was like this thing arrived and it
was this perfectly
formed papache egg of a musical theater
song it was just perfect and we were
like oh okay the hunch is right he this
this guy can really do it what I'll say
though is that that was not the first
song that I delivered I feel like that
was probably number 10 or 11 okay it was
the first good song that you
deliver Savage actually some of my
favorite songs that I have written for
this musical were in those first 10 yeah
but it took me a while to figure out how
to write for a musical cuz it's not just
you know like when I first started
writing it was just very broad you know
the thing that I had to figure out is
that when you write a song for a musical
it's very specific it's it's like it's
this character singing they need to go
from A to B in their Journey they need
to express this this and this it's it's
really writing to a brief which I've
never done before yeah you know like for
me writing has always just been a blank
canvas I do it when the inspiration hits
and it's about abs absolutely anything
that is in my silly little brain whereas
this is like it needs to be very
specific and we need to buy next Friday
honestly Mike I can't tell you how hard
that is and how brilliantly you've taken
to that you know you're used to writing
Standalone pop songs Y and sometimes
musicals the action just stops and we
hear a song and the Really skillful
musical theater writers are those that
can tell the story in the song and
you've delivered that I mean absolutely
Keep On Walking Mr
Fred for you a power at your
side I don't know how I don't know why
but sometimes if you
try even when you're falling you can
fly so keep on walking Mr
Fry but it has taken a long time to get
it has and I think I think it's been
really good for me actually it's been um
definitely frustrating at times yeah
definitely an awful lot more work than I
thought it was going to be but as far as
like the challenge for both my
songwriting and also just like sticking
to something for that long um as a
project has been really good for me it's
it's kind of really forced me out of my
comfort zone it's proper storytelling
with a people in the room it's going to
be very impactful but it feels like it
somehow feels like passenger it well
that's why I said yes to it I kind of
got it I was like I get why there asking
me to do this because I can
hear my songs put to this story yeah
right well here's to finally getting it
off the ground mate nice man cheers
thank you very much mik I hope you can
understand
why you must keep on walking Miss to fry
