Passenger - Scare Away the Dark

I recently purchased Passenger's Whispers album and the song Scare Away the Dark really spoke to me. We're all so "screen-obsessed" these days and this song is a reminder to get away and live in the moment.

He performed it on the Today Show this morning and it reminded me that I wanted to share it with you:

well sing

sing at the top of your voice

and love without fear in your heart

feel, feel like you still have a choice

if we all light up we can scare away the dark

we wish our weekdays away

spend our weekends in bed

we drink ourselves stupid

and work ourselves dead

and all just because

that’s what mum and dad said we should do

but we should run through the forests

we should swim in the streams

we should laugh we should cry

we should love we should dream

we should stare at the stars

and not just at screens

you should hear what i’m saying

and know what it means to sing

sing at the top of your voice

and love without fear in your heart

feel, feel like you still have a choice

if we all light up we can scare away the dark

well we wish we were happier, thinner and fitter

we wish we weren’t losers and liars and quitters

we want something more not just nasty and bitter

we want something real not just hashtags and twitter

it’s the meaning of life and it’s streamed live on youtube

but i bet gangnam style would still get more views

and we’re scared of drowning and flyers and shooters

but we’re all slowly dying in front of fucking computers so sing

sing at the top of your voice now

oh and love without fear in your heart

can you feel, feel like you still have a choice

if we all light up we can scare away the dark

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

well sing

sing at the top of your voice

and love without fear in your heart

feel, feel like you still have a choice

if we all light up we can scare away the dark
