12. Where We Belong (Gossamer, 2012)
“Unflinchingly vulnerable and personal “where we belong” is without a doubt one of Angelakos’s most intimate and disturbed songs that serves as a perfect conclusion for Gossamer.”
11. I’ll Be Alright (Gossamer, 2012)
“Excellent bridge between the separate parts of the song and the amazing “I’ll Be Alright” chorus. Definitely one of Passion Pit’s best songs.”
10. Swimming in the Flood (Manners, 2009)
“I love the wailing, moaning sound of this song. It’s such a bittersweet song, and it works absolutely perfectly. Easy the most powerful Passion Pit song of all time. Every piece of it is absolutely perfect.”
9. Cry Like a Ghost (Gossamer, 2012)
“By far their most complete work. Lyrics and production are flawless. This song MAKES the album. I think this song is about one of those people, and he is singing about how he has someone in his life to tell him to slow down, but she doesn’t. And this is his way of describing these friendships.

8. It’s Not My Fault, I’m Happy (Gossamer, 2012)
“A song about despair and shortcomings with an underlying tone of vengeance and anger, one of the most complex songs on the album.”
7. Moth’s Wing (Manners, 2009)
“This is my favorite song, so of course I’m biased, but it’s also amazing and it instantly lifts my spirits. It can mean anything to anyone, which is part of how cool it is. You can derive your own meaning from it, which is unique nowadays.”
6. The Reeling (Manners, 2009)
“Truly an amazing song. The trumpet is really creative and unique. The synths fit perfectly. And that chorus. So catchy! And one of the best parts is that classic drum pattern from the 80s that occurs after every few measures or so. Genius”
5. To Kingdom Come (Manners, 2009)
“Took me by surprise first time I heard it. Amazing song and definitely a stand out for Passion Pit and music in general! The dark lyrics about orange peels and crying to God are very dark, but it’s contrast with the happy melody is interesting and very catchy.”

“Genius lyrics, quick beat, mysterious meaning. Brings back rock and alternative ties into a psychedelic beat Very unique alternative sound, yet so much harmony, perfect beat and awesome lyrics.”
3. Take a Walk (Take a Walk, 2012)
“This song is so catchy, and it feels wholesome, like a song really should be. It sounds amazing, it feels natural, and the lyrics and relatable. I would have to jump right over Sleepyhead, despite it’s creativity and well selected instruments, this song is truly addicting.”
2. Carried Away (Gossamer, 2012)
“This song is great for many reasons. The bubbliness and airiness of passion pit’s songs add to the character if the music. Makes me automatically feel refreshed and happy. Beautiful song.”
1. Sleepyhead (Manners, 2009)
“The singer’s voice simply explodes with passion (thus the name of the band) and the way he remixed that old song will be stuck in your head forever. I can’t even describe how this song makes me feel… It just put me in a better mood automatically and draws a smile on my face right away!”
