The Tallest Man on Earth has cabin fever. A short film by Rolf Nylinder

[@rachelbearinger1719]

"A chord isn't beautiful by itself, a chord is beautiful in combination with other chords. Just like life, with other people."

[@JeffinBville]

When Kristian disappeared after a series of livestreams last spring he left a hole in my heart because our weekly virtual visits were one of the few things holding me together during the scariest days of the pandemic. When he was suddenly gone I wanted to reach out but he's intensely private and I could not find a way to contact him. I just wanted to say, "Hey! You're missed." He may not be the literal tallest man on earth but he is one of the most beautiful men on earth.

[@brianfitzgerald6833]

Those livestreams from Geneva, NY were doubly sweet for me. I grew up there, in the Finger Lakes, but moved to Europe back in the 80s. Hearing his Swedish voice from my American home here in Amsterdam, on lockdown, was just magic, and I tuned in every week. I hope he's ok -- this was lovely, but dark.

[@JeffinBville]

@@brianfitzgerald6833 I'm NY born and bred and I know the Finger Lakes pretty well. And even though we seldom saw outside his window, I rather figured it was a typical bucolic scene. The horses, y'know? The live streams were intensely personal just at a time when we were most vulnerable and I can never thank Kristian enough for being there.

[@franceeeeesco]

I feel you mate

[@dutoitar]

*The Tallest Man on Mars* won't have the same ring to it.

[@SessionCinemaFilms]

Woke up feeling down, exhausted, bad headache, watched this, now everything's better. I love you Kristian, you make the world a better place.

[@MatthewGrahamsworld]

Your value on this earth far extends the reach of your singer/song writer abilities! Stay safe and I hope you continue to be an unprofessional romantic artist. What could be better than following the heart?

[@poorsaintlazarus]

Sweet. Rolf should keep on doing this once in a while!

[@brenswen_]

kristian you mean so much more to us and the world than a singer-songwriter and we will be here waiting for you in droves to see you live when this pandemic is over with. Amazing rendition at the end and can't wait to hear what more you have in store for us

[@justpassingby3175]

Honestly Rolf could film grass grow, and I would still be glued to the screen. Just love his style of filmmaking.

[@mjgarratt]

What a beautiful friendship, thanks for sharing.

[@aggressivejazzhands2569]

Thanks for sharing this Kristian (And Rolf for making the film). Been feeling lost myself lately. Every day bleeding into the next, into the next, into the next, and so on. I think many of us lost some of ourselves in these crazy, uncertain times. Hopefully just misplaced. Either way, seeing other humans laughing and shaking off the cabin fever, even if just for a moment, has motivated me out of my cobwebs, even if just for a moment. It's late here, but I think I will take a walk in the forest. Think of the future, and see what the trees and fresh air have to say about it all. Be excellent to yourself, friend. Remember the great river of life flows ever forward, and even if your boat is a lonesome farm house for now, it's a fine ship, and she'll take you to calmer waters and clearer skies where you can one day fly again. Thanks again, Kristian. Love, A fellow human.

Can't wait for the next record: I Love You. It's a Cabin Fever Dream.

Keep doing the days. Life will resume an allegro pace before long.

[@Soulsspark]

"There was that one time in the sauna." Nice Loved this short film!

[@inMuro]

hhahahahahah the sauna bit was hilarious. With every other part I wish there was a non-creepy way to let kristian know he's not alone, there's a bunch of wellwishing fans scattered across the globe in their own cabins, hoping to be dancing and chanting along to ttmoe songs in the near future. For now i'm happy theres a rolf to keep you companyyyyy : ) thanks for the video guys.

[@Saganist420]

Thank you for being one of my favorite artists on this Planet for the past 12 years.

[@stephenhall7483]

Nicely done, Mr. Nylinder; great storyline and camerwork. Really great to see TMOE doing well. Thanks for the film!

[@regispizza6059]

Thank you for this. I'm in MN and the cabin fever is extremely relatable. All of it is extremely relatable. We miss you.

[@battycush]

What a beautiful man in every sense of the word. & Thanks Rolf for capturing this day.

[@ktwhiteful]

"He sure is handsome" (but seriously, there is so much beauty in this, captured so perfectly.). Bring back those live streams! Even in New Zealand where we got off lightly they were wonderful and kept some of us going.

[@delilahmeegan6672]

This made my Friday a whole lot better.

[@benz00o]

Beautiful, just beautiful. Would love to see more of these kind of videos. You both are artists, great artists! "Take it easy, but take it" - Woody Guthrie

[@glenmc517]

The mighty rolf strikes again along the string wizard himself. 🙌 What a great video to watch as i sit stuck indoors in Ireland playing clawhammer banjo in an attempt to not claw and hammer the walls. Thanku

[@alex0589]

Good to see I'm not the only one whose mind snapped. Also good to see friends taking care of friends, going beyond the sur-face and checking up on them. Stay safe out there.

[@sandfang]

What a wonderful video! 11:11 reminded me of the cover of "The Wild Hunt".

[@edgaristtod]

12:45 can anybody tell me what mics he's using? Also, am I right that it looks like his DAW might be Pro Tools?

[@musicjfrancis]

I'm so happy to see you again, Kristian. The livestream shows were so incredible during last year and I've missed you!

[@marcosbrito38]

So many beautiful shots and moments!!

[@jake_runs_the_world]

wow thank you for this,translation

[@nickdraycott]

It was good to see how happy you made each other. The manic word vomit you get after not seeing a friend for a while .

[@jawrrn]

Jävla myspys alltså! Tack hörni 🔥🙏✊

[@emilyyates699]

In so many ways, same. But spring is peaking through in Virginia and I am feeling hopeful again. The videos always make me want to hang out with Kristian, now I want Rolf to be there too.

[@youegg9873]

Thanks for the upload :) I love your music and the seemingly random yet very meaningful ramblings. I’ve finally decided to follow music as it is my passion, and i can’t describe how much you have been an inspiration to that. Thank, you. Hope i get to see you on tour again after all this is over. Until then, stay safe, and lets all try to uncover all the small happinesses lying around us. They are there :)

[@lilvalentine545]

Thanks for the wonderful film about such a precious human ❤

[@alanjackson4067]

Just keep dreaming of Steelhead...they come back every year. We'd miss you here in B.C.

[@MuriloSilvestrim]

Hey Kristian. I'm feel a incredible conection with everthing you do, man. It's unbelievable! Thank you much man!

[@NeurovianS2]

I love everything about this and how much kristian appreciates small things in life

[@annajordan8227]

Thank you for this, Rolf and Kristian. Love to you both.

[@swainsongable]

Sweet jeezus...how many of us songwriters would give our left nut (or whatever equivalent a woman or the self-identifying genderless would offer instead) to live in an isolated mountain cabin with a recording studio and sauna! Been my dream since the age of 15, and that was a very long time ago. Thanks so much for the visit with Kristian, inspires me to get back to covering King of Spain again. Peace. Love. Music...

[@catherinepowell638]

So good to see and hear you Kristian, or Christian! I love your singingand guitar playing and how you move your body.

[@fido924]

Thank you for this! Hoping to see you live soon when it is safe!

[@BrianWalak]

Great video! Love the new song and would be wonderful to run into you on the slopes someday.

[@susannekimmig496]

All these emotions brought to the SURFACE. Haha. Great Video. There‘ll be dancing again! We just have to do it on our own for a little longer. Greetings from Germany!

[@LaszloBuring]

Beautiful little docu, glad to see you're doing okay. Hope to see you back on the stage in the Netherlands soon!

[@MrLou948]

Well done guys! I’d watch more in this format

[@deborahcardinalrhyason2465]

There’s no leaving now✨❤️

[@TJsCoffeeAdventures]

Wow so well done. Really awesome video, and great job for connecting with a friend when they needed it!

[@Christopher.white_]

So happy to see this.

[@jake_runs_the_world]

[@daruma86]

Such a beautiful video, greatly appreciated in these current times to realize we're not alone in these feelings.

[@stefaniesvensson]

Underbart! Älskar allt med denna lilla film.

[@katehill7462]

This was so beautiful to watch and filled with so many nuggets of wisdom

[@Southern_Surfcaster]

Tallest man and Rolf in the one video!!!! Instant thumbs up and hello from Australia

[@TheHM78]

Thats a great song,with a perfect musicvideo!

[@loriwallace3222]

To me you are the most beautiful person, inside and out. We love you so deeply. And thank you for the roaring light you ignite in the darkness

[@gdbroque]

What a guy. Thanks for being a good friend to him.

[@jordanparker7302]

wish i could live in the middle of no-where in a log cabin living my best life, keep doing you Kristian

[@ilike2walk227]

you're a great musician !!!!

[@Jonny33333]

What a beautiful way to share the importance of friendship

[@jasondavis3615]

This was wonderful. Please keep being yourself.

[@josiahhorne]

Oh my, this was so beautiful. Thank you, Kristian! I wanna hang out with you!

[@enlooverdrive]

8:10 is that a TMOE song? if so does anybody know which one? lovely video btw been rewatching it like 4-5 times now

[@Zoe-rf3ly]

It's originally written by Jackson Browne, but recorded by many different artists over the years. Called "These Days". Cheers!

[@enlooverdrive]

@@Zoe-rf3ly Omg yes i found it! Thank you Zoe ur the best

[@WirralWill]

Loved the short film, thanks!

[@andrewmsnyder1987]

Thoroughly loved that.

[@DannyRoseOfficial]

Brilliant ❤️

[@charain4547]

Beautiful. Thank you

[@joanofarca-8157]

Just what I needed

Thank you. This was beautiful and humourous. ❤️

[@animaginaryman2553]

Thank you for this....X

[@floydhardingham2322]

Amazing and inspiring as always, love from Australia

[@kirajohnson6]

this is a gift

[@JacobTRex]

My heart is warm

[@lor3nz8]

That was beautiful. Thank you Rolf. Thank you Kristain. You are my surface.

All my love!

[@teenylank]

This video is beyond hilarious and touching.

[@3P1Cpha1l]

This is wonderful

[@alvinblomberg1222]

A question for Kristian or anyone out there who knows anything about sound engineering: Are the baskets hung behind the computer and monitors meant for acoustic treatment of the room or storage? How well does that work? Wondering since it looks a lot better than regular acoustic panels!

[@John-xw4ge]

Wouldn't mind hearing more of that Jackson Browne cover...

[@aleksandraognanoska4381]

It's about time you treated us with a new album, Kristian! ^.^

[@deciofonseca262]

You are the best! Brazil loves you! Soon I hope you come! I`ll be waiting for you my friend

[@TJ-jx6dx]

This is great.

[@madelainedusseau4293]

I knew he was very athletic but I'm very impressed with the handstands and snowboarding.

[@johbro10]

Äntligen! Tack så mkt

[@Starlightbooper]

I feel like kristian should go on Elons rocket that is panning to take artist with it around the moon, it not mars but it's still space

[@corilewis]

Same. 💕

[@Nikelaos_Khristianos]

Gotta love that river.

[@liam_milliken]

its impossible how much of this is memeworthy

[@esgee3829]

i thought for sure the message from rolf would be, 'kristian is fine, but brian...you're fired.' and that's why brian hadn't heard from kristian.

[@gavinpaul6406]

Wonderfull 👏👏👏

[@LC-le9ew]

Well that was sweet. ❤️

[@w.w.w.w.]

Being alone for longer than a few hours is very brave... Beyond my ability... 💚💚💚

[@jacksonwhite23]

If every “day in the life” video on KZbin was like this the world would be a far more beautiful place. Also with less supplement discount codes...

[@oyttyoungster]

You are not alone

[@sherlss]

I loved everything about this. I can’t wait to dance when life is unpaused. Edit: Im sorry if my comment offended anyone, I do not think this is just a pause. I don’t really write comments but I just wanted to write something nice. Sorry

[@sherlss]

@Alex W obviously not, but I’m not going to sit here and say when life is back to normal after the global pandemic which has changed everyone’s lives. Bit wordy

[@danielsmith997]

@Alex W No need for the confrontation. Get some fresh air

[@seyerus]

@Alex W *sigh*

[@isaaccarter9566]

Me too man

[@DD-zu9fy]

well maybe you weren't "professional" enough in the interviews 😂 but it was wonderful to have you here in Minneapolis that year, great time

[@albineriksson1641]

så jävla vackert gjort!

[@antonbrask4574]

This was soo good

[@Piilosoittaja]

What might that guitar be in Part II (recording session)? Sounds awesome!

[@Piilosoittaja]

Anybody?
