The Tallest Man On Earth- I Want You(Bob Dylan Cover)

[evxdaddy]

God this is awesome. Won't say better than Dylan but who gives a sh*t they both kick ass.

[dieinlima]

i love this cover because it dont sound like a cover!

[ChristDrew]

I love the rhythmic delivery of the lyrics. The steady flow allows the words to really shine.

[BlakeIan]

Beautiful version

[Orlypie]

he fills my heart! x x

[channongogue]

emulation is the greatest form of praise- TTMOE has bowed to His Bobness, but has arisen Sir Kristian. Both are Knights of Honour in the Kingdom of True Music.

[mountainmandanmusic]

capo on 4; Chords go C Em Am G F G for the verses. Em Am Em F G for the break.

[HotelManagerRoyOats]

Love the Tallest Man on Earth but I must say I prefer Dylan's version.

[KrischKrosch]

Talles Man on Earth is great but i don´t like this version.

Check out my Channel. New Live Video online!

[jussymucky]

@KrischKrosch agreed. Love tallest man, but not the best cover. Music is an open book though so anyone can do anything, just not for my specific taste. Bob's version much better, but then again that is the original so always hard to beat. Reckon if Bob done a version of 'where do my bluebirds fly' it wouldn't touch the original so swings and roundabouts ;O)

[WintermuteII]

The delivery of the song by TTMOE is so different from how Dylan does it, I can't help but feel like they are two different songs almost. Either way, both are great.

[VozzaofEarth]

looks like 3 people accidentally hit the dislike button instead of the like button.

[cantsleepboavista]

I am so desperate to know how to play this one the banjo! If anyone has any idea please let me know!!!

[whoarethebrainpigs]

@cantsleepboavista simple ,,,get the chords from a guitar song book and play them on the banjo..

[jdpigeon]

Thanks for reupping this in better quality

[zoeruls]

Both are fucking beautiful, enough said.

[Hickorychiclets]

@zoeruls agreed.

[gmbzi]

Sweden's greatest resource. 

[Leaaaaaahh]

i have a raging mouth ulcer, and for the 2:51 seconds this was on i forgot the tremendous pain, then i read all this debatey shit in the comments and BAM, pain is back with a vengance.

AGAGAGAGGAGA.

[buckkkyyy]

not only is this a beautiful song, but at the same time you can appreciate the talent of tmoe, class shite right here.

[williestratton]

yummy clawhammer

[albinbjarhall]

Didn't your mama teach you that there's supposed do be a space before a parenthesis?

[Csehaka27]

great and creative cover instead of just a simple copy but dylan's original is perfection. this cover is damn near close but dylan is simply the master

[Reese1492]

I like this. He makes it his own.

[gregwazhear]

banjo swag.

[LifeNotRules]

I prefer this to the original.

[tamarathms]

Awesome cover!

[Umealongboard]

a cover can never be better than the original, only the person who wrote the lyrics can sing the songs real emotions. Though this is one of my favorite covers and i admire Kristian.

[checkster12]

@Umealongboard Ignorant. A cover can be better. Just because I write a song doesn't mean that I will perform it with as much sincerity or passion as someone else will.

[ogilmer]

@Umealongboard Yeah, since Jeff Buckley's version of Hallelujah is so much worse than the original.

[stoberto06]

with dylan's music being so accessible you have to forgive the lad for trying to go for something different here, one of the best finger pickers/singers in the bizz

[christiaan81music]

I'm so sorry to say.. even despite the fact "the tallest man on earth" is probably my greatest "musical discovery" ..like ..ever.. besides bands like DevotchKa , Local natives , fleet foxes , wolf parade ..etc.

The orginal stays the standard..

[cantsleepboavista]

Where did you find this?!?!? So good.

[minuszero815]

Dylan has been my favorite musician for quite some time now. I only found about

Kristian a couple months ago and he's blown me away since I've started listening to him. This cover is great. He made it his own, which I respect, but it doesn't come close to topping the original for me. The atmosphere of the original is just too wonderful for words. That said, major props to The Tallest Man on Earth.

[tomfish9]

He is good but no one can beat dylans version

[ZaxDavis]

Want chords :C

[bobjohnson513]

@ZaxDavis

Capo 4 C - Em - Am - G

"the cracked out bells" part F - G - Am - G

"I want you part" = C - Em - Am - G

They're the same chords as the original. Just in a different key.

[ZaxDavis]

@bobjohnson513

thanks man these are great

[pat2od]

@bobjohnson513 is that for banjo or guitar?

[dialaname]

I think this is just as great as dylan's version..

[gitcover]

nice & mellow. banjo's sound is amazing!!!!

[karenc1023]

i love dylan but kristian fucking owned this song..



[elementsk8er821]

Holy fuck banjo shredding

[RAIDIOFACE]

epic  luv this guy

[deadflagbluesxxx]

I couldn't get through this last night. It was late and I was working on a headache. I came back to it today and I've listened to it 10 times.

So good.

[chavvysavvy1]

wow, cool vid XD

[PrairieDon1021]

WHAT THE FUCK! I got so fucking excited to hear him sing a Dylan song so I could really compare the two. I was picturing Kristian singing it like Bob and if he did I think his version would be more powerful sounding. He changed the vocal melody so that he sang all the best parts and like purposely made them boring in his version. I guess out of pure respect he made sure he didnt outshine his idol?

[Hickorychiclets]

@PrairieDon1021 This was my first time listening to the song. I immediately went to bob dylan's version and found The Tallest Man to be soo much better. I like Dylan but I feel as though idolizing creates bias. Not to say either version is better than the other. I'm personally glad they are so different because one song has now become two. Instead of a another copy.

[ghoti75]

ou should hear my version;)

[NickThatDrummer]

Nah, The tallest man is great and all. But Dylan's version just portrays the meaning and everything behind the song so much better

[tetryst]

@NickThatDrummer Yeah - Dylan sings with more longing. I'm extremely glad this version is unique though - changes the tone more than anything else. That's the best thing a cover can do.

[fucktart1234567]

@Hickorychiclets

Dylan has himself said that some of the covers of his songs were better than the original, like Jimmy Hendrix's All Along the watchtower. That said, Dylans version of this song is worlds better than this one.

[BenjaminKuruga]

@fucktart1234567 I'd disagree ... Kristian's version is great!

[nokturnal5647]

@Hickorychiclets Although I prefer Dylan's version, I agree with everything else you said.

[Thor24x]

@PrairieDon1021 singing it imitating the original artist isn't being an artist

[lmarquis4]

@Thor24x He always sounds like this; Dylan was his influence growing up.

[Thor24x]

@lmarquis4 no im know that is just his voice, im just saying when ppl just imitate another person's voice to do a cover of them it isn't being an artist at all, it's just imitation

[PrairieDon1021]

@Thor24x I think everyones misunderstanding what i meant. i completely agree with putting your own spin on a cover, there is no point of even it if you are just going to imitate it. (check out my Daniel Johnston cover on my page if you wanna see what i mean). Im a banjo player so i loved him playing that, i think i was just excited to hear him sing the chorus inparticular and was let down when it wasnt belted out as i hoped it would be.

[cumulus0007]

@Thor24x Are you saying this guy isn't an artist? Go check out his work and come back

[Thor24x]

@cumulus0007 no he was saying how this version isn't just like the bob dylan version and i said if it was just like it he wouldn't be an artist really, he totally is, genius

[howdygoodsir]

@PrairieDon1021 i agree i want to hear him sing dylan like dylan. but the idea of a cover is to put you're own spin on a song.

[PrairieDon1021]

@PrairieDon1021 nah i get where you are coming from. : )
