I love Passenger - his songs are so beautiful and meaningful. One particular favourite of mine is "Riding This Bike" and is about an old man who is dying, likely of cancer, who is determined to ride his bike across America to see his granddaughter one last time. It is about the deterination and power of human resiliance. When he performed it at this year's show in The Big Top for Galway Arts Festival, he dedicated it to all those living with and all those cancer survivors. It was beautiful and I had goosebumps for the entire song!
Of course, having had a good few chemo sessions at this stage, I was getting pretty tired and weak, and knew I would not be anle to stand for the whole concert. So, my clever sister Yvonne sourced me a walking stick that converts into a little stool. I couldn't resist but "pose" with it!!! In fairness, it was a God-send though!
