version 2
CAPO III, IV OR V (Depending on how much he's smoked when he plays it!)
This is my favourite Passenger song. I heard Mike sing this live in Brisbane April
2013 - I don't think there's a studio version, but the live version from Berlin is
beautiful. The story behind the song is at the very end :)
