The Venice Canals

Passenger

Transposer:

Attempt to capture chords from the new song Passenger posted in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. He fingerpicks the entire song with lots of his usual hammer-ons. The notes in parentheses are individual walking notes up the high E string (listed relative to the capo in the same way as the chords). the instrumental section after the first chorus.         Capo 5 to play along with the original video he posted 05 April 2020: https://youtu.be/wlxMSC9wVwc Note that he changed a couple of the lyrics from this original version to the version he released on his Patchwork album. In verse 4 he changed "sunset" to "sunrise" and in the final chorus he changed "And there’s nothing much to hold onto for now" to "And there’s nothing you can hold onto for now" to match the first chorus.                                                  [Chords] G5     3x003x Gmaj7  3x0002 G      3x0003 C*     x32013 C      x32010 D7     xx0212 D7sus4 xx0213 G6sus4 3x0010 Am7    x02010 Gsus4  3x0013 C/G    3x2013 Dadd4  x54030 A7     x02020 G/F#   2x0003 [Intro]                                                D7sus4    G6sus4              *                                    E|---------2---3---|-3---------------|-2-----2-3---2---|-0---------------| B|-3-----3---------|-1-----1-1-------|-1---1-----1---1-|-1-----3-3-------| G|-0---0-----------|-0---0-------0---|-2-2-------------|-0---0-------0---| D|-0-0-------0---0-|---2-------2---2-|-0---------------|---0-------0---0-| A|-----------------|-3-------3-------|-----------------|-----------------| E|-3-------3-------|-----------------|-----------------|-3---------------|    1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +   1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +   1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +   1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +                                                                Gsus4 E|-3-------5---7---|-10--------------|-2-----2-3-------|-3------------------| B|-0-----0---------|-------0-1-------|-1---1-------1---|-0---0h1---0--------| G|-0---0-----------|-----0-------0---|-2-2-------2---2-|-0-------0-----0----| D|---0-------0---0-|---0-------2---2-|-0---------------|---0---------0---0--| A|-----------------|---------0-------|-----------------|--------------------| E|-3---------------|-0---------------|-----------------|-3---------3--------|    1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +   1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +   1 + 2 + 3 + 4 +   1 + 2 e + 3 + 4 + [Intro] * D7sus4 G6sus4 ( ) D7sus4 Gsus4 [Verse 1]   Well I know there’s pain and suffering         You can feel the tension in the air       C                      Dadd4             Em   But they can see the stars shine in Beijing   And hear the birds’ song in Times Square [Verse 2]   But I know you’re feeling insecure       From all this change that’s come to pass       C                Dadd4         Em   But the sky is blue in Singapore   And they can smell the ocean in Belfast [Chorus]   Now don’t get me wrong This ain’t no happy song And there’s nothing you can hold onto for now           C                    Dadd4 But when you’re feeling low my dear Just know the water’s crystal clear   And the fish are swimming in the Venice canals      [Instrumental] * D7sus4 G6sus4 ( ) D7sus4 Gsus4 [Verse 3]   Well I know there’s heartbreak and sorrow     And I know there’s really nothing I can say         C                Dadd4     Em   But we’ll be closer tomorrow to the end of all this than we are today [Verse 4]   So watch the sunset from your window         Hear the rainfall on the ground         C            Dadd4               Em   Tell your loved ones that you loνe them   And miss the ones that aren’t around [Chorus]   Now don’t get me wrong This ain’t no happy song And there’s nothing much to hold onto for now           C                    Dadd4 But when you’re feeling low my dear Just know the water’s crystal clear   And the fish are swimming in the Venice canals

Cette chanson évoque les douleurs et les incertitudes liées à la vie, surtout dans un contexte de souffrance collective. Elle rappelle que malgré les difficultés, il existe toujours de la beauté à observer, comme les étoiles brillantes d'une autre ville ou la mer qui invite à l'évasion. L'artiste encourage à se raccrocher à ces petites joies, même si tout semble instable. Le contexte est celui de la pandémie de COVID-19, un moment de changement et d'angoisse pour beaucoup. Dans ce cadre, des messages d'espoir et de résilience émergent, tout en reconnaissant les réalités de la tristesse et du désespoir. C'est une invitation à garder la foi, à prendre un moment pour apprécier les choses simples, comme le cadre paisible des canaux de Venise.
