  • Ich Liebe dieses Album!!!

  • Oh my... this is my absolute favorite song now... it totally just opened a new world in front of me... :D how beautiful

  • i just fell in love

  • /watch?v=7V8Vk8CMe7g&feature=r­elated - TTMOE live at the Joburg Theatre!!!

  • Sounds like Deer Tick

  • I clicked on this video because i thought it was gonna show me pictures of the tallest man on earth..

  • @selenagomezismuhlyfe Why would you you-tube that? seeing as Selena Gomez is your life I don't believe you would enjoy this excellent musician.Everyone else here is here because they wanted to be.

  • @rangu66 He's just trolling...

  • @selenagomezismuhlyfe

    Go away. This is sacred ground.

  • Ah, the erotic jolt of electric thrill when you discover a new band.

  • bob dylan is still alive and performing, so what's this guy doing

  • @ByTheBirchTree Good trolls are still alive and doing their thing, so what are you doing?

  • @TheSmexyViet Hey there, Clancy Clever, there's no argument to be had. Just know that sometimes, haters gonna hate with ample justification.

  • @ByTheBirchTree What ample justification?

  • @TheSmexyViet ahahhaahahahahaahahaahahahahah­ahaaa. GREAT!

  • @ByTheBirchTree Being an excellent singer with his natural voice. He is not copying dylan he just so happens to be gifted with such a unique voice.

  • @ByTheBirchTree Madonna is still alive so what are Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry *insert every other pop artist woman* doing? all that crap is the same, This is still different than Dylan

  • @ByTheBirchTree Obviously, you have no idea what Bob Dylan sounds like..

  • @ByTheBirchTree He is actually technically better than Dylan. And his music is different but you know that, you troll.

  • @DrStrawfoot it's not about being technical you may as well listen to an engine - it's about subjectivity

  • @gotothemoutain Don't get me wrong, I love Dylan. It sure is about subjectivity but what I said is that The tallest man on earth has a better masteries of his voice than Dylan. Dylan isn't quite of a singer actually.

  • Also, does anyone notice that this is classified as science and technology? Ha ha.

  • This song is just...ahhh...amazing

  • This is the first song I've heard from this guy, but wow. Definitely going to have to look in to Tallest Man on Earth.

  • @ShadowChancellor try The gardener by him.That's what got me into him

  • @mollywa21 hey, thanks. That's a great song.

  • @ShadowChancellor You should try go into Spotify and just make a playlist with all his songs. He makes excellent music :)

  • @ShadowChancellor I'm glad you like it. You can't really go wrong with this guy.

  • I have to say that i like the live version much more.

  • the spider web home symbolizes the holes they had in their relationship and when a storm came it rained right through them. the river that he walks upon so easily saddens him cause his heart has become accustomed to it but it also helps him move along

  • Hes talking about how he walks about love easiar than other people.With an "evil in his pocket and her will in his hand" he talks about how he can break a tie by just tossing it away cause he was hurt more than once so he has an evil for it and has become used to it.the harness that he rides is the plans and goals that is relationship was supposed to have and when he gets off of it his partner cries but he lets her go.the spikes from heaven pierce their future so they cant dream of it

  • Modern day Bob Dylan, beautiful :)

  • I do love a bit of tallest man on earth

  • So it IS possible to masturbate to music...

  • @brookes88 who said it wasn't?

  • @brookes88 its welcomed lol

  • @brookes88 why yes of course :p

  • Beautiful song. 

  • massive massive tune

  • i deeply love is song!

  • I'm learning to play this right now, I've been on such a solid TMOE kick... falling in love with this music over and over and over.

  • when i first heard about this song i thought he was some old man with a banjo on the porch, i was in for quite a surprise.

  • My heart's learnt to kill.

  • love it, love it, love it!!!!!!

  • This sounds a lot like Deer Tick to me I love it!

    

  • takes me back to when music was just pure undefined music~

  • Man i'm convinced the tallest man on earth is the lovechild of Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash.

  • wow...simply beautiful

  • my epic english teacher showed me this band <3

  • @EcHoBaY2: he's just one guy...

  • my beautiful neighbor. <3

  • Sometimes i feel like raw, real, beautiful music has been lost in this terrible modern day culture we live in.. and then i hear artists such as this, and hope is not lost...

  • By far his best song. I just love it is all :)

  • I think his voice is beautiful.

  • Comment removed

  • idk why i find his music so depressing sometimes

  • Im curious to know the amount of whiskey and cigarettes he must have to drink and smoke to get his voice.

  • @271WillyWonka Not as much as Dylan or LaMontagne (Ray) but yeah its a good ole folky croaky voice.

  • @271WillyWonka Funnily enough, his speaking voice doesn't sound like this at all!

  • @271WillyWonka: just enough

  • I'm just impressed by the creativity in these "he isn't actually that tall" comments...

  • @KellyMHamilton It could mean (stand for) tallest, as in the only one of his kind, alone, and so on....

  • @KellyMHamilton in the playlist "stuff to learn" you come upon the song "love is all"

    how awesome is that? <3

  • @portapottykarate

    well lets thank our parents for bringing us into a world with music like this :)

  • ex girlfriend.

  • i dont understand how people dont see how talented he is... i aim to be like him someday

  • oh my god I'm seeing tomorrow night in melbourne so excited!!!!

  • @brnghkmrs james blake mixed it up a bit on his recent BBC Essential Mix

  • beautiful, beautiful, beautiful 

  • world peace

  • woooowww!!!!!

  • - Lyrics part #3 Well I walk upon the river like it's easier than land Evil's in my pocket and your strength is in my hand Your strength is in my hand And I'll throw you in the current that I stand upon so still Love is all, from what I've heard, but my heart's learned to kill Oh, mine has learned to kill Oh, I said I could rise From the harness of our goals Here come the tears But like always, I let them go Just let them go
  • - Lyrics part #2 And now spikes will keep on falling from the heavens to the floor The future was our skin and now we don't dream anymore No, we don't dream anymore Like a house made from spider webs and the clouds rolling in I bet this mighty river's both my savior and my sin Oh, my savior and my sin Oh, I said I could rise From the harness of our goals Here come the tears But like always, I let them go Just let them go
  • - Lyrics part #1 Well I walk upon the river like it's easier than land Evil's in my pocket and your will is in my hand Oh, your will is in my hand And I'll throw it in the current that I stand upon so still Love is all, from what I've heard, but my heart's learned to kill Oh, mine has learned to kill Oh, I said I could rise From the harness of our goals Here come the tears But like always, I let them go Just let them go
  • Oh I said I could rise from the harness of our goals, here come the tears but like always, I let them go.

  • I put this on facebook and i put: "It makes you cry" with it and guess what? I'm weeping for my life here.

  • he's much better then bob dylan

  • @ghostofonyx51 that's a joke right?

    Bob Dylan was the voice of a generation. i'm not saying Tallest Man isn't good, but Bob Dylan is a legend, and even before he achieved that status, a generation united under him and his message.

  • @brooksnealferguson Kristian's music affects me emotionally more than Dylan's, therefore he is most certainly better to me. Dylan's impact is obviously much stronger but that has nothing to do with me and how i hear the music/how the music affects me. Opinions/subjectivity/yaddyadd­yadda.

  • @mikedies89 People don't have as good taste in music as they had back in Dylan's days.. otherwise this guy would be worldwide legend, too. But he stays true to himself and don't go mainstream just for fame and money. In my eyes he will always be a legend and one of the biggest musicians of all time.

  • @TotallyTwistedSick

    Completely agree.

  • Wow, Bob Dylan much?

  • I seriously pity people who have never heard of him.

  • I've seem pictures of him. He's not that tall.

  • @Burritopizzasauce7 I've listened to his songs. He's tall, alright!

  • @Burritopizzasauce7 gods don't have to be tall though

  • he needs more recognition, more than mumford and sons

  • @Plentory Now noone gives two shits about this!

  • goose bumps anyone?

  • @TheOnlyJu Alot !

  • @TheOnlyJu YES!

  • @TheOnlyJu BUT, he is pretty damn high, if you what I'm sayin' ;)

  • Bob Dylan re-incarnate!

  • @otterTaco But... 

  • @otterTaco

    the reincarnation of somebody who is still alive? ^^  his name is ktistan matsson born 30th of april 1983 as the god of music.

  • his voice is very.......................spe­cial......it's very raw, pure, powerfull and yes, maybe even a bit annoying. I think the combination of his voice and the guitar is one of the most beautifull things i have ever heard

  • @SirGoatfather Drop Dead?!

  • @SirGoatfather to be honest , nobody gives two shits. just enjoy the music.

  • Words of his songs are really true.

  • his voice is so unique and amazing.

  • Mr Great Man

  • He said this song was about divorce... eh kinda makes a bit more sense now

  • i could go only listening to his music for years without getting tired of it.

  • Both of you are idiots. Listen to the music.

  • Oh, I said I could rise

    From the harness of our goals

    Here come the tears

    But like always, I let them go

    Just let them go

  • Music doesn't get any more real than this.

  • One word: Beautiful.

  • "I walk upon the water like it's easier than land."

    I love that line so so much.

  • He reminds me of Bob Dylan, don't you?

    I like it. 

  • @P3NINO Don't say that too loud around here :X from what I've learned so far the tallest man on earth fans don't like it when people compare him to other artists.. just wanted to let you know :O

  • @namimi1412 Ok well, I'm sorry... Anyway, that was a compliment, so ... I guess it wasn't as bad as it seems?

  • @P3NINO you sure your canadian?

  • @saladin12740 Yes Mr. ! I'm Canadian.... I do not look like one?

  • @P3NINO nah its your grammar that had me second guessing..

  • @saladin12740 AHAHAHAHAHA! Oh..! I'm french in the first place so that explains it all I think.. XD

  • @saladin12740

    No, apparently you are though. Quote: "its your grammar that had me second guessing.."

  • @Daphodil17 im sorry you must be mistaken. You must be looking for some one else.

  • @saladin12740 *you're

  • @Daphodil17 wat

  • @saladin12740 You said "you sure your canadian?" and "nah its your grammar that had me second guessing.." I was simply correcting yours. Actually, it's "it's" as well. =P

  • @Daphodil17 you the grammar police?

  • never heard of this guy before. 0:26: WTF. His voice is crazy.  By 4:15.... Totally.in.love<3:)

  • @crazycoconut33 Thats exactly how it was for me. I challenge you to find a song of his that is not amazing, it's virtually impossible.

  • @Jessielynn002 I am kinda having a hard time with that challenge:) all his songs are really addictive<3

  • Perfect timing, I stumbled upon this song just when I needed it

  • the only reason i get on youtube lately is for this guys music

  • @MrJayMoB91 Its an american thing, it is one of these . they say it to finish a sentence and I HATE IT. Haha.

  • He sings so truthfully.. I can't explain..

  • Fantastic!!!

  • i am a very good lookin' girl, with a very good lookin' taste..

    and this is, period, the best song in the world. :P :P :P :P :P :P :P :P

  • @annaceciliehoffmann Well, atleast we know you're not conceited!

  • @xdsoldierxd I'm sorry, one of my friends posted that comment from my profile. I think he tried to be nice to me, in his own weird way...

  • Am I the only one who expected to see the tallest man on earth in this video?

  • Comment removed

  • @Def2Jay yes

  • he sings straight from the heart unlike most singers that do it for the money and fame.

  • he is the black belt of music but some people dont realize that.

  • @notfunnydouch

    I think it takes musicians or people have listened to a LOT of music to really appreciate how hard it is to play TMOE pieces and sing them at the same time. Shit, I'm not even talking about playing and singing it as cleanly as he does, just playing and singing it at all is quite impressive if you are actually trying to mimic his fingerpick style.

  • how can you dislike this great music like this,this man gives you faith and hope that scares me 14 people dislike this music!!!!!!!!!!

  • @GRBushcraftRM And they have opinions, but I don't agree with them.

  • 14 people do not find the river easier than land.

  • @narcosa Actually they did. And that's why they're dead.

  • @narcosa haha dats funny

  • 14 people don't deserve to have ears.

  • "I walk upon the river like it's easier than land." It's very clear, he is the musical Jesus.

  • @herointheseaweed brilliant comment mate:)

  • @herointheseaweed Haha :D Clever you ^^
