1. This is an incredible performance 2. That's a damn cool hoodie

[@katrinbano5344]

this performance makes me feel full of love and hope. A turkish saying says :"The Hope is bigger than the world", and I had forgotten it. Tamino remembers me my roots, the lights of my childhood, the hands of my grandma on my hair and my little knees under my white drees. He makes tremble my soul.

[@turkishmusicguru]

I'm Turkish but never heard that saying. Do you know who said it or just anonymous?

I love this man so much. I saw him in San Francisco and I was one of the most beautiful concerts I have ever been to. There was an older couple next to me at the concert, and it was beautiful to see how his music bring different people together.

this makes me feel so good. i wish i could always feel the way this song makes me feel.

I am deeply in love. Thank you Tamino for these beautiful feelings

...but you don’t know what kind of person he is or if he’s one of those people who doesn’t share their fries.

[@ninakasaev7000]

@@emmecee6273 do you have to know someone to love him ? If you had, there wouldn't be books such as " letter from an unknown woman" Btw I do think Tamino shares his fries :3

@@emmecee6273 by experience I know that it's not always "infatuation" and feelings may actually last years, but we don't always live the same things so as you want I guess (^o^)v

In still water crocodile lies Until something inside will rise A thought quietly coming up It's not sorry to interrupt Songbird driving himself insane Forgot why he even came this way His new feathers are made of gold Will shine on You know he won't get old Ooh Everyone's got opinions 'bout it "Soon you'll like the sound" Tired of hearing them talk around it But soon you'll like the sound Yeah soon you'll like the sound Maybe something to ease the pain Maybe already in your veins Your now golden scales blind the eye One more songbird rises to the sky Ooh Everyone's got opinions 'bout it Tired of hearing them talk around it "Soon you'll like the sound" Ooh

My ears have been blessed. He's an amazing songwriter and he sounds live exactly as in the recorded albums! A true gem ♥️

[@yourebeautaeful6925]

Honestly my favorite song of his don't why just is

[@burcu4711]

i also listened your world cafe radio podcast, thanks for sharing Tamino's music💘💘💘

[@joshuacunnigham]

The tuning on guitar for this is Em standard or Em standard with the 5&6th string tuned half a step down (to let the chords open ring better) for those wondering

[@jamesxu7582]

Cheers mate appreciate it

[@Nunya00]

@@jamesxu7582 not trying to be a snob but hes wrong, its actually DADFBE, basically from standard tuning you just tune down the G string by a whole step. Thats how youll accurately get the shapes and movements that tamino is doing. I figured out the song already so if you need help with any clarifications ill be happy to help

[@jamesxu7582]

@@Nunya00 ahh right on mate cheers. I’m just starting out so appreciate the tips mate

[@Nunya00]

[@em-yf7ng]

@@Nunya00 the tune is drop D?

[@emmecee6273]

Love his live stuff! Just like Shakey Graves and Chelsea Wolfe, their studio work is great but their live performances are the absolute best. He also has this bluesy-jazz touch to his singing style that feels good to listen to. Then again, I have synesthesia so maybe I’m alone here haha. Nice upload, World Café ☕️ time to check out what other little treasures you might have uploaded...

[@Nunya00]

For anyone wondering the accurate tuning is DADFBE basically just tune down the G and low E string by a whole step Edited: god damn apparently i dont know the letters of the strings, i corrected it so its DADFBE

[@lazeraththesecond2866]

Do you happen to know the chords he uses as well? I’m struggling to find chords that sound good with this tuning! Thank you!
