The Tallest Man on Earth: "I'm a Stranger Now" | Ep. 7 of The Light in Demos

[@1m2a3t4t5]

From "voice memo that got out" to lead single for the album, nice.

[@sotoje]

Hey Kristian, I'm the weirdo who literally just stopped you a few minutes ago on the street to thank you for putting these videos together. Anyways just stopping by to say hi ... and .. well ...thank you!

[@YukiKunikida]

The weirdo hahaha, I would have one the same!

[@Curtis.Carpenter]

jeff, if your a weirdo for that. ..im a weirdo to 😄👍🏼

[@bryguy6509]

I can watch this 30 times in a row and still smile with tears streaming down my cheeks.

[@georgianabs]

I have no idea why I get so emotional whenever I watch these. It's not even a sad-kind of feeling, it's more like a lesson about "How to fall in love with life" that I practice for the next two weeks. Until the next video comes up, that is. I watch it, I wake up the next day and sing on my way to work and appreciate everything I see around me. Thank you, Kristian!

[@christiaan81music]

Georgiana B. Beautifuly said!

[@Dog0nWheels]

Somehow you surpass yourself with each one of these. Thank you for brightening our lives, Kristian.

[@chemisiertyran]

Really appreciated the ambient vibe of the intro :)

[@ryanodonnell3379]

Amazing, the vocal melody is more similar to many of the songs on the wild hunt than to that of your recent releases. Really excellent.

[@williamd7375]

Kristian, do you see the joy and love and light you bring to this world? Yours are the only videos on KZbin where I read the comments. After listening to your music, it is almost impossible to write something that would cause hurt, pain, or suffering to those who read it. Bravo! You are becoming...

[@williamd7375]

I know most of his "lyrics", my friend. Love and joy arise from pain and suffering. I hope you find the beauty in your soul so that you can become aware of the joy of his music and the "almost" perfectly joyful thread of comments under his videos. With a bow and a smile, I add these words.

[@capper6100]

Casaninchi that's what happens when you think to much.

[@joim6951]

FnotD its

[@Curtis.Carpenter]

@@casaninchiify hah, your so bent on ruining others happiness with your opinion of what Is what. I truly pity those who think like you.. i truly do.. your brain damaged by years of Cynicism and an unwavering belief/feeling that you need others to feel and see the way you do.. im sure youll have some self aggrandizing comment about my lack of ..your version of analysis... i couldn't walk a mile in your shoes, because you chose to walk barefoot... you can suffer without cause, i will not. 🤠

[@Volaths]

This series is utterly beautiful, thank you for letting us in Kristian.

[@alexpaige199]

This is my favorite one of these videos so far. Especially with the surreal OP-1 drone at the beginning. I keep coming back to this song over and over again. Would totally dig a studio version of it

[@MatthewLehtonen]

I get so pumped when I get a notification of a new TMOE video. These are great! Keep it up!

[@daharlamedina9546]

Preschool teacher? What a surprise!!! I like you more 💕

[@charlottesimss9853]

Holy shit I was super surprised at that! But I totally don't doubt it, he was probs too chill for the job tho

[@t.conring]

Daharla Medina me too! 😍

[@Steelking83]

This is a hit

[@huyskn]

In my opinion this is the best of the series so far. Can't stop listening to it and every listen it gets even better :D

[@murderhill1947]

Same for me. I've had a busy spring and summer but now I'm settling in for the winter and it was Halloween last night, I was still taking leaves when the snow started. Now I'm revisiting episode seven for the umpteenth time.

[@johnnywynne5514]

Like alot of people in the world who have crawled through mental shit and still hold the memories of bad times like a brand on skin it always seems whenever I listen to your music accompanied by the complete solice you seem to throw out by simply talking i always remember how it feels to smile like a happy toddler, you're simply soul satisfyingly brilliant

[@MrPariah88]

Definitely my favourite musician of the present. And one with the most poetic und beautiful lyrics I know. Can't wait till someone figured out the tabs for this one.... (:

[@AB-oi2fz]

More cool electronic stuff please! That intro was sublime....

[@bsjett]

There will never be enough of these. But I'll savor all of them that there are.

[@aorakis5795]

and some assholes, found your tribute of roxanne an amateur waste... They should come around here, and listen to what you're doing here... You're a trully amazing Artist Kristian ! Thanks for all the good folq you're bringin' in our existences ! keep it up ! Cheers from belgium !

[@vanderleyfilho]

Magnifico! É melancólico, mas esperançoso ao mesmo tempo. 🌄

[@b1g_m00n]

I love quiet songs but upbeat is where it really is for me. Love this.

[@adrianbreivik28]

The fact that there are people who spent energy on pressing the 'dislike" button. Even if you don't find the music appealing, you cannot ignore the incredible talent that lives within this man.

[@SevenBowls]

I just can't help but come back here once in a while and everytime it's so beautiful!

[@willlapointe8419]

Wow ! Easily my favourite of this whole series, nearly had me in tears for some reason. You should definitely record it

[@R0FLMAYOTACO]

you say you may not refine this but in my heart is sounds like not much needs to be refined. i love it all

[@sidslater3698]

Glad you got this idea out of your head. Yes, this one needs to be recorded. Definitely.

[@JeremyK-L]

Damn, TMOE is into modular synths! This guy can not get any cooler in my book.

[@corbinstewart1432]

Amazing

[@Jo3sX]

I recently discovered your music and it's breathed new life into me. Thank you.

[@juanasiutti7354]

Great!!!

[@GreyOwl-Harmonica]

*_Love it! Especially nice sections where vocals mirror guitar phrase._*

[@chris.basumatary]

Please don't stop, what you are doing.

[@arturocarrillomacias926]

I don't know what it is, but your music brings peace and tears (of happiness, sadness, and everything) to my life, and for that sir, I thank you so much, and tell you, that here in mexico, we need your music.

[@sethprather1096]

It's a privilege to watch you grow, watch your thoughts manifest in music, to help others in your individual spectrum of emotions... really no diction would accurately describe the beauty...you know your shadow gives the best of lights, when you see the crow acallin, and to which we grow together, duty heavy as a mountain, death light as a feather, we reflect the sun with the light we bring home, and as we breach the river, it whispers you're not alone

[@tambam1230]

Greatly appreciate you for taking us with you on your process. Your music is real and in need for those who are in search for answers/hope/love/beauty/truth/life. Grateful to be alive to witness you and be with on your musical journey... thank for sharing.

[@tambam1230]

Ps I am huge fan since your first album and i am amazed what you keep creating..from then to now. You are so beautiful.

[@natefox1496]

Thank you for these videos, I look forward to them every other week!

[@steveym90]

This has to be recorded. So beautiful.

[@LandOfTreesMusic]

Snälla Kristian, släpp den i alla fall! Den är på tok för viktig för att förbli ett voice memo på vift.

[@LandOfTreesMusic]

Såhär 1 år senare är det en av mina absoluta favoritlåtar och hela albumet går på repeat!

[@arnisty]

boy am I glad you did release this song

[@Otamie]

You are absolutely brilliant!

[@santiagom4924]

Very beautiful Christian!! Always happy to see the notification pop up, this videos make me super happy keep up the amazing work!

[@threecrookedhearts]

I selfishly hope that you continue doing this for all of eternity. Such a beautiful project you're creating here.

[@nlienard1]

1. Follow through with this one. So Good. 2. Don't ever stop these video.....please.

[@cookbriane]

Happy to see you making light hearted beauty as a tourist in our country of unease.

[@adrianbreivik28]

One of my favourite Tallest Man songs. Genious melody! And that dobro is really cool

[@EnjoyerofYoutube]

Kristian, I love how you manage to pack your songs with all sorts of long and complex vocal phrases while retaining a sense of space.

[@donatogarcia8987]

Not only the songs are great but also the way you storytell, film and edit the video is really amazing.

[@stealingroses]

This is my favorite song you've written in a few years and you should absolutely record it!

[@Howlrounder]

From one stranger to another I can tell you that this means a lot ⚄ ⚄

[@musicglueworld]

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! Please never ever stop this video series. Promise?!

[@Viniskates]

Beautiful music, I am so glad you have a KZbin channel and that I came across it. I have been mesmerized by your music ever since I first heard Over The Hills.

[@christophersmith6540]

My favourite demo so far - lovely lyrics and a melody that takes you away.

[@sebastianfernandezlara4815]

This songs have something for me, that it's real and they talk to me. Thank you for your music. Please come to Mexico in your next tour.

[@joeokonski3679]

You put it on here, so it WILL be saved and shared forever. No matter how "professionally" you record it, this is as good as it gets. Take it from a third person perspective. I can't believe its been almost ten years and I've never subscribed.

[@Apiereal]

Thank you

[@BanthamLegend]

Been towing a caravan all day, just pulled into services and this popped up right when I needed it :)

[@galenwinsor7468]

You should record this!!!!!! So good. Nice vibes.

[@gabrielhathaway4234]

I am so happy when a new one of these come out! They are so peaceful, and your performance is always very exemplary. Keep it up mate!

[@dancarter5595]

Thank you.

[@AlexanderGlidewell]

Kristian, your music has brought so much light into the darkest of moments. Thank you, for all that you do.

[@zaccariachelli9496]

Love Your music.. Hope you Will come back in Italy one day!

[@susancoleman5551]

For someone who's never likely to get to see you play live, this is almost better as your introduction and performance is so very personal and sincere I feel it's just for me. Thank you.

[@livchilds5758]

You are an astonishing force, Kristian. Beautiful, thank you.

[@CorbinN6]

You're so inspiring. These videos not only drive me to want to understand music on a deeper level every day, they remind me that life is about just enjoying the ride and helping others do the same. Thank you so much for all the love you put out through your work.

[@rachelee73]

The glint of hope between sadness and heartache glows in your eyes. Give me hope and help ease the long road home. Thankyou words can not express between my tears and laughter ohhhh by the way in our dreams we are never stranger's in this dark land 💙🌅

[@CollinBartley]

Been looking at getting an OP-1 again, and a mother-32 at some point too. This video is very dangerous for me.

[@eleintblood]

Did you?

[@CollinBartley]

@@eleintblood Unfortunately no. I did end up with a Minilogue and a Pocket Operator, though! One day I'll get an OP-1 :)

[@PedroMO7U]

The shot you set up for the singing and playing part of the video is amazing. It suits well with the song. You have, not only a great ear for music, but also a good eye for video.

[@Liush]

this is giving us some inspiration to keep writing with the cold days of Europe. thanks a lot man keep doing that!

[@aovadea8722]

never fail to lift up my days my brother.. these episodes are truly something special

[@luddeohlner975]

This REALLY needs to be on the next record. Awesome is´nt enoug!

[@alisonz5197]

This is so beautiful. It's my favourite one yet. I had to watch it three times in a row when I discovered it this morning. Thank you for sharing!

[@jeromesharpe1]

I love the cinematics that come with these videos (and the music of course).

[@lacadam]

WHY ARENT ALL KZbin CHANNELS THIS GOOD

[@fredrikw7296]

Fantastik , känns nytt men fortfarande som din stil !

[@OKaapa]

This outro is the best there is!

[@viivikohonen391]

Amazing. Thank you.

[@murderhill1947]

What a great song that might not ever get recorded. Thanks Tallest.

[@thetallestmanonearth]

Thank you, +Dennis Lee. I think I’ll might record it

[@murderhill1947]

Tonight, I was assigned the task of finding Christmas gifts for my 41-year old son who is the kind of guy that has everything. You know what I got him? Your first and your last albums. He didn't have those I'll bet. I also got him the three seasons collection of the show Newsroom but that's not relevant. Also, I shared this video on my facebook page and wrote that fifty-five years after I discovered folk music, I have rediscovered folk music and it's even better than the first time. that's a compliment by the way. Ten, twelve years ago, my son who was living in Shanghai, China at the time got to go to a Bob Dylan concert in that city...Shanghai! Can you believe it? Dylan in China. There was a time when I would have sold my firstborn to go to a Dylan concert. My son, the guy who knew how much I loved Dylan and who I might have sold, called me from the concert and said: "Hey dad, guess where I'm at?" "I don't know." "I'm at a Dylan concert...in Shanghai." I said "Yeah. So?" I was dismissive. Uggh. He reminded me of that ironical moment recently. I didn't remember but I wasn't surprised and I felt pretty guilty and shitty about blowing him off. So here's you and your music that will serve as an apology of sorts and my son will have the chance to discover a new talent that we will both appreciate together. Yay! A Christmas story. Maybe if you perform somewhere in the Northeastern part of the US, I will get the two of us a couple of tickets and we will do a father-son thing.

[@gabriellecoeuille8258]

Thank you for bringing a lightness to my heart everyday. Truly one of a kind experience.

[@VasjArtigian]

So honest, so simple, so direct ... so why I love this song. Keep on "rocking", Kristian!

[@charlottesimss9853]

The guitar strumming reminds me a lot of a song called Me And My Horses by Syd Matters (who you should totally check out if you love the tallest man on earth's raw intimate feel!)

[@mikemaas82]

This is one of the good ones. Thank you.

[@gallifreyanrefugee7982]

I had forgotten about your music... revisiting it and finding some new songs made my day

[@jpcgordon]

I really hope that you'll release a vinyl with all of your beautiful demos and covers from this fantastically inspiring project. Would love to sit next to the record player and just take it all in. I'm very much looking forward to the next instalment.

[@andrewrosegregory]

thanks for this, and for this series

[@jared8266]

My favourite of the videos so far! So good!

[@TheRivermanMusic]

Kristian, not only your music but the way you try to show us and share us your perspective of the world around you is precisely what I found so inspiring from you. I'm a folk songwriter too. ¿An artist, maybe...? and I work under the name of 'The Riverman'. I just want to thank you for the inspiration you have given me with your art. If you have the time, can search on KZbin "The Riverman - If I". It's just a way to explain you what I trying to say. Please, pardon my english. Thank you... for all.

[@EvelinaEntertainment]

I'm loving this series more and more after each episode. Absolutely a top 10 favourite of your songs for me now!

[@packhorsetriumph5319]

my favourite of this series so far. Well done!

[@EricVellekoop]

So good to see how this song has grown since its birth here! Thank you so much, Kristian ^_^

[@Boxxxter]

What are you talking about?! RECORD IT!! It's amazing Kristian :) Great show in Berwaldshallen btw. Magical moment with this song. We are strangers now.

[@ragcrs5366]

These videos make my week, your talent live never ceases to amaze me. Never stop

[@tgifthurs]

Amazing!!! Can't wait for you to tour again :)

[@jesperhagstrom2013]

This was an amazing live experience on this tour. Thank you!

[@Christian_Schuell]

thank you - for this beautiful art!

[@fISKARgUBBEN]

Fantastiskt bra! This, together with "In little fires", I'd call my absolute favourite among "The light in demos". Thank you for this Kristian and keep doing what you do!

[@lukeconley8970]

Please release that little ambient electronic riff at the beginning. It's magical.

[@enemywithin1992]

So grateful you did record it

[@paralyzeddd]

Älskar denna låten! Letade efter chordsen och så hittade jag denna guldgruvan :) Tack

[@emilydaviesmusic]

This series is incredible - what an amazing song! I wish my drafts sounded as good as that!!

[@davidgolubic9772]

Love IT...MUCH LOVE!!!
