Review: "Passenger" - YAKYN


Passenger by YAKYN Cover Art

Life goes on and we're all just along for the ride, so why not make the best of it? YAKYN's beautiful song "Passenger" takes on the liberating perspective that time moves quickly and it's important to savor each moment. The song takes you through words of wisdom, telling listeners that with age, you'll be "looking backwards over your shoulder, and you wish that you would have been bolder." It expresses the clarity that comes with growth, and lets people know that they are living the days they will look back on fondly. Inspiring you to live in the moment and embrace the good in every moment, this song will uplift you with its life lesson of positivity.



Heart-warming nostalgia will uplift you through the excitingly resonant guitar sound and YAKYN's powerful vocals in "Passenger". The singing through the verse showcases a charming touch of country twang with a softer approach to the lyrics. The vocals project loudly and powerfully through the chorus, like all the life lessons that mean the most are forcing emotion into the lyrics. A glowing pulse of instrumentals brings a lively rock twist after the chorus, with strings, electric guitar, and percussion. This is the type of song you'll sing along at the top of your lungs, letting the freeing message resonate with the power of the track.
