Does anyone remember the band, Passenger? The popular song from 2013? “Let Her Go” from the All the Little Lights Album? No one? Well, I forgot about them too, but the new album, Songs for the Drunk and Broken Hearted, is just as good as their hit from eight years ago. The album has ten tracks with an additional ten acoustic versions as well. Passenger’s sound is the same from before, with light vocal and folk instrumental influences. The titles of each track on the album tell you what mood the songs are reaching for if the album title was not hint enough for you.
With tracks like “Nothing Aches Like a Broken Heart” and “London in the Spring” this album is good for a hefty cry – or a night lying in bed thinking “what does it all mean?” While that all sounds sad and depressing, this album is of great quality and I’m glad to hear Passenger return with some fantastic poetic lyrics.

Comment text: Marie will be forever treasured in memories.
The memories remain of a soft-spoken, seemingly unassuming but determined individual who absolutely knew what path she wanted to take in life, and followed it.
Her instinctive reactions, which highlighted her steadfast level of love and caring for her family, friends and all living things found in nature, hold lessons for us all.
An unexpected splash of her self-deprecating humor, coupled with uncanny timing, will always bring a smile.
For me, Marie lives on in the sighting of a Black-crowned night heron in the tules, the bloom of a beautiful spring flower and, most poetically, in the struggle of wildlife photographers handling their very large camera lenses.

Comment text: I just figured out that Betty was my 1st cousin. Her dad Ted was my dad's brother. I never knew Ted or Betty, but I wish I did. I am 73 and live in IL. I am building my family tree and see where Betty has fit in. Blessings to you Curt and family.
