A passenger far from home

Finally Lisa Hannigan has released her sophomore album, the follow-up to the wonderful Sea Sew. She's been writing the album from late 2009 throughout 2010. I thought the first album was a masterpiece, and Passenger, the new release does not disappoint.

The favorite tune so far is the hauntingly beautiful Home, including lyrics as such:

And oh, every lie we told,
is written in stone
Every lie we wrote in our bones

And hold on, there's nothing to pack,
we know we're not coming back

First official video out is Knots, a more up-tempo tune from the wonderful Irish artist:




Another great tune from the album is the low-key Paper House:




Next song, the title track Passenger, has been featured in this blog before, but deserves a re-post. Live-version from 2009.




Next tune really speaks volumes of how Lisa's voice can make you feel she's in the same room as you while listening to her. Here is the wonderful Safe Travels (Don't Die):
