The Tallest Man on Earth - "The Dreamer" (Live at WFUV)

[teleprompter87]

I forget to breathe when I hear this song.

[rosanglura]

i remember the vocalist in my band once saying, "turn up the reverb, my voice is f***ed today"...

extrapolate

[TheIncredibleSloth]

What tuning is this?

[1234FranciscoVasquez]

@TheIncredibleSloth standard

[livelaughsing16]

loveeee!!!

[livelaughsing16]

amaziiiiing!!!

[jimbo2351]

Fantastic.

[whiskerswendy]

i love that little smile he has when he first sings "sometimes the blues just a passing bird..." so cute. and i'm completely hooked on this song! :)

[Nobuisness1]

Me Gusta! ^_^

[KyleSwanMusician]

not open D. standard tuning. standard fingering. soulful playing.

[FrankieDeyn]

♥ ♫

[ccorneliaaa]

Amazing! ♥

[aBearintheWilderness]

This guy is living the fucking life.

[ryanlincoln26]

Is this guy really the tallest man on Earth? He'd have to be taller than Sultan Kösen of Turkey, who is 8'3".

[dodgeden3s]

@ryanlincoln26

Ofcourse he's not.

[BrightYoungManMusic]

My favorite song to cover. I want to touch his genitals too.

[orianam]

Sometimes the blues' just a passing bird, and why can't that always be?

[SaNdRiTaRoCk]

Play over and over, and over again! ♥

[alexd765]

this should have 10 million views

[jed6195]

in love with this song. Ugh, so heartfelt.

[yellk0489]

the best track he has done.. wait i retract that. i honestly cant decide :|

[oznerolk]

this so song is amazing right from the beginning but then at 2.30 it jumps directly out of this world

[Clemsault]

I cant like this video enough...

[californiaminpin]

So good!

[supaduperazn]

where is this song from jeez

[kevinscottyuk]

Fucking Fantastic!

[Ibakecookiess]

does anyone happen to know the name of this guitar? Thanks in advance! :)

[harrywhoyou]

@Ibakecookiess Gretsch firebird jet double cutaway

[jmanj1994]

@harrywhoyou holy balls that's expensive!!! any suggestions on a guitar like that but in like the $200-400 range?

[harrywhoyou]

@jmanj1994 You could get an double cutaway archtop Gretsch, but i guess that's not the same. If you just hunt around for a pre-owned one or a copy you should be able to find what you're looking for

[jmanj1994]

@harrywhoyou awesome and thanks for the reply so quickly! cheers

[harrywhoyou]

@jmanj1994 No problem pal, hope you find what you're looking

[kholtman52]

does he have any other electric guitar songs?

[torkadkorvmacka]

@kholtman52

Not album recordings, but check out the live recording at Kexp radio. He plays some of his songs with electric guitar there

[kholtman52]

@torkadkorvmacka That's a tragedy! I love his acoustic songs, but IMO the vibe of this song is untouched. He should cross into this style more often

[xxrosietxx]

@kholtman52 Love is all is on electric too :)

[ofTheSmallThings]

Amazing, ah his voice gives me goosebumps!

Incidentally, though it might just be me, the resemblance to Neil Patrick Harris is uncanny!

[Mavrick1509]

2 people should get dreamcatchers

[deathcadilac]

SEXY GRETSCH



[jlipec]

Damn - found this guy thanks to kepx radio - just love his live performances... Hope he comes to Slovenia soon or at least somewhere near...

[mrsbookthief]

@jlipec haha, same here. I discovered his kepx radio-performance of "where do my bluebirds fly" and now I've been listening to his album nonstop for days and days and days :)

[gnarlywreckagedude]

whats the name of his guitar? his music is amazing.

[gillyjoe86]

@gnarlywreckagedude his guitar is a GRETSCH

[benwatson443]

@gnarlywreckagedude GRETSCH



[wodan821]

meeeeeeeeeeeeee



[HartmanCody]

You can tell his voice has grown stronger. I love it!

[ThelastJohnSilver]

@HartmanCody he is a bit of a perfectionist, he strives for control (performance, sound, looks) and you can tell how he never stop developing his singing. I agree, he has had huge progress in many ways! You can hear it in the music as well, old songs = following classic folk pattern... New songs = personal and more his own way...

[mongo131]

first time i saw kristian matsson preform was at leksand pub and bistro, in leksand, sweden when i was 17 and a exchange student in that town. his band was called like montezuma back then. fucking rockked the place. so awesome to see him getting famous, and his songs keep on getting even more amazing. SVERIGE WOAHHH!

[BigTuna1994]

My friend introduced me to him through the NPR Tiny Desk Concert series about a year ago. Already he's one of my favorite artists. He really does get better and better.

[Laihosucks]

I'd love to see him put together a full band for his next release...seems like the logical thing to do

[pettersupreme]

@Laihosucks He's already done just that during some live shows. He's better solo tbh

[shira123belle]

He saved my life, I love nothing more

[zoeruls]

I love him with an electric guitar!

[AdamCarnell]

Don't know how I stumbled across this (it wasn't through stumbleupon) but I'm glad I did, good tune. Great tune... but, he's not as tall as i'd imagined

[sempreverdeify]

Grandissimo Kristian!!!!!!!

Spero di vederlo presto in Italia...

[harrywhoyou]

@f22spc Gretsch jet firebird 1964

[alhododo]

@harrywhoyou do you mean it was assembled in 1964 or it's a reissue ?

[claybella]

holy shit, this is just amazing. Thanks for sharing!

[lucazade666]

How does he sing with headphones on? It's like impossible :O

[Chrissysays]

@lucazade666 Because he is god.

[Osk000]

he is good but mumford and sons are also good. why does everybody always has to compare different artists?

[supergoliefriend]

Not the best singer ive ever heard but he does have a very interesting style to his singing and is something nice and new with his style and voice

[noouch]

@warriorsngiants he's the reason I leave one guitar in open D

[victorlarsenmusic]

@noouch Kristian Mattsson and Stephen Stills! ;)

[sebars30]

@noouch i don't think it's in Open D

[MrMickey4]

I love this song and I think this man is one of the best singers i have herd in a while

[pjography]

Hahaha, i hate the cameraman, he always pans away when I'm trying to see the chords for the chorus.

[Jacobfoster12]

@pjography Chorus Chords: E F Gsus G, then {C Fmaj7 G C Am F Gsus G}x2

[YourfriendHannnah]

is his voice pretty similar to mumford and sons, or is it just me?

[Thor24x]

@YourfriendHannnah in that it has a gravelly quality, but they sound nothing alike otherwise, they are both great though

[zaaachhh]

@YourfriendHannnah just you. tmoe has more talent in his little finger than the whole of mumford and sons.

[cliners21]

fuckin hipsters! i wonder how long it took him to write this Masterpiece?

[cliners21]

fuckin hipsters!

[ipodguru12]

They are SO good! Amazing.

[haze9five1]

[gohel50]

@jcocabo There are two dislikes... Are you blind or just stupid ?
