The Tallest Man on Earth: Where Do My Bluebird Fly

[Cassie871310]

can you say eargams?

[TheDessysmitA]

Haven't Heard the Song in forever, Love it

[CocksuckersBall]

is he a baritone?

[BlisterOnTheMoon]

@CocksuckersBall He is guitar 

[msfattytroll]

@CocksuckersBall

no, if anything he is a tenor

[jeffreytp7]

the guys so fuggin legit!

[itsonlyjersey]

his style of music is 9 out of 10 times better live then recorded. most live recordings/videos i've heard of the tallest man on earth i prefer to his album versions

[cianinthesack]

@itsonlyjersey Just out of curiosity, where does he loose the mark?

If anything for me, it'd be diversity but after seeing him live and seeing how can adapt his songs to be played with a full band I'd have to say he no longer looses that mark for me.

[rachymcc31]

'I haven't played this song for a long time' then he pulls this out of the bag? GENIUS totally in love with the tallest man on earth

[harrywhoyou]

anyone know what brand of guitar he is playing?

[TheseOpenRoads]

I would have liked to see tons of people start to gather around at the sound of such beautiful music, but its still an awesome video

[Kushburnindaily]

coolest mustache ever!

[choitown]

yeah, great song and musician, but the camera work is really amateur and awful

[1992AJL]

@choitown That's the point, the dodgy angles make it like a home video, a lot more personal than some polished digital filming.

[triplesiqqxx]

thats sad that their wasent crowds of people.... if i would of been their i would of screamed like a 12 year old girl.....and im an 25 year old man

[MelleB90]

@triplesiqqxx for the love of sheesh please wait until he's done playing and singing before you scream!

[ematj]

@triplesiqqxx That's just the magic of it. It would've been pretty ruined if you'd screamed through the song :/

[abeeraj]

@triplesiqqxx I love you.

[MODonnell4994]

why cant i be him



[Aconaway20]

I feel like my speakers cant get loud enough..

[HumanAccount]

this nigga sucks big cock

[JTLGvilleSucks]

@HumanAccount he's doing something right!! he's got uneducated haters!! :D

[Boogers32150]

@HumanAccount Trololololololo?



[aaverga]

[AKMANIAC47]

Why arn't there crowds of people around?

[CherryGhost5]

This man is incredible.

[PhunkyPhr3sh]

6 people dnt have bluebirds...*cough cough*....

[aauggh]

whats that type of font?

[ZoeStepkowski]

i love this song and him so much.

[Robbersandcowards]

I wish I could play guitar like him. And sing like him. And write song like him. Well I wish I was him.

[buewgewstmeiers]

Where do my seagulls fly? 2:05

[Lobsterlete]

@buewgewstmeiers You can see him look up at it. I that a slight smirk in his eyes ?

[chkachkabumbum]

I recorded a cover of this on my computer, just for fun, and right when I finished I heard a plane outside. I think it's the most excited i've EVER been.

[Iluv2singa34]

Gosh, he is attractive.

[harrywhoyou]

Like Johnny Cash, "Man in Black"...Amazingly talented.

[UndeadFatality]

What a glorious cleft.

[Leeko23Arsenal]

@UndeadFatality WE BASK IN ITS GLORY.

[mrmeb1969]

wow - what an artist..... finger picking is very clever... view is amazing & makes me think of my son living in Sydney.

[slappychopchops]

Cat fish are feckin' huge man!!

[liamrussell11]

Everyone please stop arguing, simply be happy that songs such as this one exist and can be sung in such an inspiring way.

[harrywhoyou]

Fuck sake guys! who cares who started what! Who cares if you think they are rip-offs! Personally i think it's great we have all these live acoustic channel, they bring us amazing variety's of music!

[adam1982halbert]

haaaa haaa lofters ya daft tube !

[loftybass]

SUPERB!!! Nice touch wae the jet. Guid aul' Aussie Air Force!

I'm just waiting on you showing up ootside the Crosskeys in Stinston!

[isak69]

@ebntinychatlulz Hehe!:-) funny, Dickhead!

[omgnuub]

@ebntinychatlulz hehe opinions x)

[franse12]

Brilliant lyrics

[heebedee]

BLUEGURD!!

[bioken007]

I really think there should be a channel like this all around the world and also featuring local musicians. It would be awesome

[ulfern90]

Great

[TehZombie]

Fantastic video of a fantastic performance. The silence following the song's end gave me chills.

[GreatTaste]

Beautiful, everything about it. Thanks.

[ausyoungandfree]

Hope he comes back to australia soon, amazing artist

[knikkey]

SYDNEY! thumbs up if you recognize the building on 1:13 from finding nemo! :D

[Humorsrevenge]

@knikkey thats the sydney fucking opera house. If u only know that from finding nemo u should be ashamed of yourself.

[knikkey]

@Humorsrevenge well sry for not being a geografic nerd like u -.-

[rasubeats]

@knikkey well you dont have to be a geographic "nerd" to know that!

[knikkey]

@rasubeats in my age and where i come from, Ya-HuH!

[catseatingclouds]

@Humorsrevenge is it ok if i remember it from the 2000 olympics? haha

[JaguarEarlobe]

@catseatingclouds - No! Certainly not! You need to list at least 5 reasons for recognising it. Otherwise you're a retard. I've already excepted I'm a retard. I only have one reason to recognise it. I've been inside. Rules are rules.

[JaguarEarlobe]

@Humorsrevenge - No need fot hat sort of arrogance. I'm pretty sure ther'll be things you dont know that are seemingly obvious to others. Give the guy a break

[Humorsrevenge]

@JaguarEarlobe god damnit I didnt write that.

[ndestef]

@shoottheplayer tell him to do a tour in america---thanks

[mrscooter711]

Clay Micallef.

[aussiemade13]

destroys the studio version. About 100000000000000 times better

[ddjsd03]

this is not "a musician", he is more then that, in May 2011, Paradiso Amsterdam.

[snorhoofd]

@ddjsd03

got the tickets in the pocket ofcourse!

[MrMcskurk]

I love how he goes "Yeah, so I haven't played this for a while", sing a line he isn't sure about, start playing and just blow me down from my chair.

[rocklobster910]

just put up a tutorial video for this song, check it out :)

[JulietPearl112]

love it

[kaylashalaylaaaaa]

man, you guys must get so tired of "explaining" yourselves. pfff, silly people. jUST ENJOY THE MUSIC!

[ayobmedz]

@kaylashalaylaaaaa haha im so in love with this comment. AND THIS SONG! preach sista

[Orlypie]

I love him.

[MrProteinstain]

anyone know what kind of gibson he is playing ?

[henwal89]

@MrProteinstain, its an eastman, not a gibson

[fosss93]

@henwal89 its an epiphone el 00 actually...

[rovjespor]

FYI, this man's name is Kristian Matsson, aka The tallest man on earth.

Hauntingly beautiful.

[chels011]

Who cares if it's a rip off or not? Who doesn't love seeing their favorite musicians perform songs in this style. The more the better.

[andy92811]

This video is great. I don't know who Blogotheque is but not every body can be Shepperd's!

[theycallmekiki]

Ugh, this is my favorite song of all time. It's so beautiful it hurts.

[xolanerxo]

he is so truly talented, unlike so many artists out there today. i appreciate his music soooo much <3

[Wackthumbtack]

Every one of his songs are amazing.. I'll hopefully have everything from him by the time he stops putting out albums.

He is the epitome of talent in music, and it'll only get better.

[chipwrestler1]

I'm glad people are able to completely ignore the pure beauty and perfection of the tallest man, but focus and complain about stupid shit. Its just so typical.

[oopsLOOPS]

just "a musician from sweden"..........? i love the fact that hes been in both the blogotheque and shoot the player features. this man is wonderful. i wish i could play with as much depth and beauty as he does.

[ytcarol]

He's coming to D.C. on Sun. Oct. 3 - playing at the 9:30 Club downtown. Can't wait to see this amazing artist!

[VintageGB]

Look, I don't know why people are getting so nutty over your opening credits. Homage or ripoff, the music is great and the cinematography is great and the landscapes are beautiful. People are focusing on the least important part of the piece. It's like hating on a painting because you don't like the frame.

[gigags0212]

i hope he never stops making music..ever.

[bohne691]

so wunderfull ! this voice.....just amazing

[Vidovskaja]

Strange discussion going on here...like a lot of clever people are saying, the music is GOOD so who cares!

[verdesevemejor]

well, it's not a rip off.. but it's kind of, basically the same.... same typography, same everything. but, whatever.... at least the music's good, and if you give credit to the blogotheque, well, it's fine... Juuuuust fineee.

[s14attack]

good song

[malequa]

beautiful song, beautiful opera house. thank you very much for the vid :)

[borris2]

@HumanAccount I wish I had one trick :(

[gabeuop79]

Not many people can rock the moustache. This guy definitely can . . .

[atomik12345]

@gabeuop79 Hahaha yeah for sure.

[WcWreckage]

you know your a great musician when your live performance sounds as awesome as your recorded.

[TheIndieMod]

@WcWreckage Or better!

[TheShoelessHunter]

Thank you to Shoot the player and The Take-Away Shows, you guys have both opened me up to so much more music. and whoever thinks that youre a rip off is dumb, just enjoy the music and dont be jealous you arent getting to do what shoot the player etc. are doing. again thanks alot guys! p.s. i am so envious tho lol : )

[pointypointers]

Some people just feel the need to write pointlessley nasty things cos they want an opinion..... Obviously no one thay know actually cares...... I love it!! keep up the great job!!!... xxx

[flyastarship]

I'm stealing this guys look,

Except the butt chin.

[dashedude2]

the song is an atmospheric dichotomy to the surroundings

[proconformist]

excellent video, but maybe you shouldn't use the exact same style as the blogothèque guys. you're doing everyone a favour by showing this excellent music to the world but the presentation seems to be getting everyone up in arms, and i think there is quite good reason behind it. besides, who wants to make a carbon copy of another style? get your own style! think of it as an opportunity to express yourselves and you will develop as filmmakers.

[betoski]

Love it!!! Keep up the awesome videos! <3

[mikedm15]

what guitar is he using?

[HumanAccount]

this guy will not be around in 5 years....one trick pony

[RedRoosterbabam]

@HumanAccount What's his one trick? Plays well, sings well, writes well?

[platypae333]

@RedRoosterbabam His one trick: Making amazing music.

[jwhensiek]

@HumanAccount damn. that is one good trick. (1 year later.. grown in popularity.)

[spacecommander12]

i think that leebenzaquin is a little fucker, but i do think that you guys should have maybe taken it in a different direction...maybe in a way that would complement la blogotheque. peace tho, keep doing what you do

[iSabotage]

Kaki King and The Tallest Man on Earth? I love you Shoot the player!

[guaflar]

that mustache is dirt

[PennyLanefromParis]

I lurve him! He's the best!!

[bitcchheees]

I miss u

[3daystohell]

check his myspace he has all the dates listed there

[OriginalSamsquatch]

Is this guy ever coming to Canada on tour?

[Parisane]

Yep, touring in north america and canada, starting in april. Go on his myspace page for precise dates !

[paintballmoreyo]

@OriginalSamsquatch google it idiot.

yeah he is

[jh4124]

This is beautiful.

[ordepix]

I'm seeing him in concert next thursday!!!

[mikeemischief]

he's so brilliant. I'm seeing him in concert in may (:

[modernfidelity]

i am madly inlove with this man

[Pruhuawrrr]

same here. :3

[Josefost]

New album scheduled for release in march/april!! Cant wait!!

[1M0dem1]

Kristian Matsson is fucking brilliant. his voice is just amazing.

[ChillpointNews]

I'm glad we have They Shoot Music, Shoot The Player, Blogotheques and so forth. Because if we subscribe to all of these great channels, we'll get lots of variety but still pretty much the same style, and lots and lots of great music - which is what we want, right? Who cares who started, it's a style and styles are meant to be used. I wouldn't mind if people found inspiration in my photos and tried doing something similar.

[JDRszostak]

ok ok, they shoot music, shoot the player, blogotheques... ok checked out all of those, all amazing any more???

[ChillpointNews]

Not that I know of, no. I'm sorry.

[bradkerber]

black cab sessions

[ChickenNugget134]

@ChillpointNews Yeah, I noticed they are incredibly similar, but I agree with you, they're presented in great styles none the less.

[Pippystix]

anyone bashing this for ripping off La Blog is missing the point--regardless of whomever had the idea to do it first (especially considering how many times this guy comments that he actually did it with La Blog's blessing), this is someone bringing us incredible music in a new setting for free, at pretty high quality. Why not just be thankful that we can see this amazing song performed in such a gorgeous manner?

[HelloHelicopter]

why cant people just enjoy the music????

[ShootThePlayer]

So what's the difference?  What makes us a rip-off and not an homage? Does it matter that the Blogotheque guys like our videos and told us they are proud that we are making them?

[ShootThePlayer]

Well, we're sorry you feel that way - our intention wasn't ever to upset people. We specifically asked the Blogotheque founders before we started our project, and they were excited for us to do what we're doing. Our intention was always to celebrate their work at the same time as we found our own expression of it. In the end, what we all want is to show musicians and landscapes in a different and exciting way, and bring that to audiences.

[threatsignalpinkfloy]

@ShootThePlayer

well i for one am glad that you are doing this, i think that this kind of thing (La Blogotheque, At my place, Southernsouls, and now shoot the player) is amazing and its a great way to find new music

[ItJustGrowsLikeThat]

@ShootThePlayer

I appreciate the video. And I admire the shooting style. and tbh who gives a fuck anyway. All rap videos are shot the same way nobody goes around bitching about those.

[BangAGong27]

@ShootThePlayer

I think it's marvelous you're doing such a thing. Thank You.

[eewoxx]

you totally suck. and this music is awesome! thanks shoottheplayer

[ShootThePlayer]

We're not a Blogotheque rip off, Vincent Moon is a friend of ours and our videos are both inspired by and pay homage to his original idea. Each video credits Vincent & Chryde at the end.

[vanceoliver]

@ShootThePlayer

I'm totally happy you guys expand the amount of videos like this.. I'm glad blogotheque pioneered the idea, and that you are partaking

It's so intimate.

[SuperAsianCrunchTime]

there are a ton of sites that do take away shows.

[malooly1]

so dece!

[jake119120]

wow i looked at that website and i noticed alot of Beirut vids are like this

[jariberry]

i wanna jump his bones. right. now.

his voice makes me speechless.

i love him.

[Spartancjl]

This music is so intensely beautiful.....

[Honeyliciousish]

Sometimes you just fall helplessly in love<3

[fprule1]

Is this video in any way related to the Blogotheque's Takeaway Shows because it completely rips off their style?

[ShootThePlayer]

As we wrote above: the Blogotheque people encouraged us to do start making films like these here in Australia. We credit them at the end of every video. It's a brilliant idea they had, and we feel very lucky to be part of what is now a large international community of filmmakers and music lovers making single-take videos of musicians playing live.

[TheVeryYoungOldMan]

i love it. that is a great idea and is very personal. its so hard to find videos of artists playing live but not around a crowd i love it. thank you

[wantmohr]

search up la blogotheque all their videos are like this

[runawaybean1]

@ShootThePlayer ps its impossible not to rip off anyone nowadays - you did good, keep it up! :D

[hoteleden]

playing a song at a pretty location doesn't seem to be a ripoff of any sort of style.

[boydcian]

This is Blogotheque

[TheGreaser05]

@fprule1 oh no!...the hipsters are starting to think that Blogotheque is getting too mainstream.

[cicolli]

Have only just been introduced to the Tallest Man as well. What an amazing voice and style. Would love to see him live on day.

[ChillpointNews]

Amazing performence.

[emcgee1989]

recently saw this guy in concert, he is EXCELLENT

[ninja1dalbem]

damn :( I'll never see him live. maybe if he becomes the new Bob Dylan I may have some chance :'(

[wahknee]

if he becomes the new bob dylan does bob dylan become the old tallest man in the world ?

[Folkability]

great stuff.....only recently been introduced to the tallest man, but thinking he's something special. ive seen a few ok tabs on few sites but does any one have a handy source? or any tabs to share round?

[spenserrr]

honestly, try to watch his finger placement and plucking patterns along with that, and use your ears too. i found that easier than the tabs, but maybe its just cause im a right-brain person when it comes to music. paper is lame, sound is where its at.

either way, a lot of his songs are difficult. pretty intricate.

[bloodyfrets]

One of the best songs EVER! Thank you so much!

[elfninja13]

he sounds like the opposite of a swede. he sings like hes from like Tennessee

[SunsetRubdownz]

brilliance.

[falansh]

a new boss..
