The Tallest Man on Earth: "Same Ghost" | Ep. 2 of The Light in Demos

[@Hurmahead]

I've got to say that all these 5 years this video exists I've been always coming back to it. If someone ask me before I pass away what I want to listen to, I would choose this one. It's definitely one of my favorite videos on KZbin in general.

[@kjday6284]

Yup. Same here

[@willdfa1]

These videos feel like what church is supposed to feel like

[@JoshHinrichs-vv2ft]

Will Anderson i have to process this statement

[@capper6100]

Damn... you're right.

[@josephrowley9155]

Exactly. Don’t settle for less.

[@susancoleman5551]

Kristian, can you feel how much you are loved, I hope you know, and that it means something to you.

[@TSHammer]

That piano intro is incredible. Beautiful song TMOE

[@manuelcalderon5561]

Intro or just an idea for another tune? You're right, beautiful intro.

[@alexanderostholm]

This song needs to be released, I would probably buy it severeal times

[@tannerallen4074]

Kristian, we might not know each other, or ever meet, but because of this song and others like it that you have made for us, I consider you to be one of my close friends who has been there through many hard things . Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

[@limestoneheart]

Came here for some more close-ups of Kristian's face, the breathtaking Swedish scenery, and heartbreaking melodies. Was not disappointed.

[@jefflangenberg2411]

The Tallest Man on Earth thank you, thank you, thank you. Your videos are wonderful and they warm my heart on a cold, cold day 😊

[@franciscomarchese4290]

By far my favorite artist, I've been listening since 2011 and never gets old, if you read this man, thanks for everything!, really, thanks

[@jonathancaudill3959]

3 years later and this is how i finish the day :)

[@Sophie-gz1mj]

I can't believe how beautiful this is. I can't believe how talented he is. I've been sitting on my chair for the last fifteen minutes and I don't know what to do anymore.

[@reedgerlach1392]

How is this so good. This man’s talent went to underrated

[@ashleyjordan8869]

Mate, I hope you realise how beautiful this is. Didn't realise I needed this series in my life. Thank you so much...

[@maxEarlmusic]

You are magical. I feel a closeness with you and your art that I have not felt before. Thank you for being kind to us all and being selfless. Thank you for your time.

[@kkratzer11]

This series is already making my life more full. I think there is something unique in addressing an audience online through videos like these. Some medium perhaps beyond a live show- at least different. Because I have listened to your music, now, at 28 years old, since a young adult, and I feel like there is an augmenting intensity from you, a personal expression, that allows me to comprehend you and relate ever more to your music. I guess it's just nice to see others with the same heavy bulging heart putting it out there in the world. Because I wander, endlessly, I lack a community of artists. I stumble along them on the arbitrary winding path of life, but then I have to always leave and look elsewhere due to my own forever insatiability. So I thank you for giving me a light of community- even if that light is wan, even if it is but a mere youtube video- because it proves that there is someone else out there that feels this heaviness of life, this enormity. -From one 'grain of sand to another

[@joaoroquettesaldanha6643]

Kristian, please try to release the music sheets to your songs!!

[@jj1023665]

Thank You, That is all.

[@trishamorris9732]

These videos make my soul feel good.

[@simon3396]

Last year, the beautiful project of songs/videos “Island Songs” by Olafur Arnalds made my month of august special. This year, this project by The Tallest Man on Earth will certainly be the soundtrack to the end of my summer. I listen to it while I look through the window, the summer season slowly starting to fade away here in Canada. Soon the autumn will come. I listen to it while thinking about the girl I secretly have a crush on right now, dreaming of just lying in the grass with her somewhere, talk and get to know her better. All these feelings come together with the feelings of the songs and the videos, and it makes me feel good. If by chance you happen to read this, Kristian, thank you: sometimes we wonder if we make a difference in the world... well your songs and videos truly makes a difference in my life. (p.-s. English is not my first language, so maybe I made some mistakes in my choice of words)

[@ludovicu.tourigny3027]

Simon Ami québécois fan de Kristan?

[@vegittoish]

It's a late summer night just sitting with a sad friend listening to his troubles and put on this song. Kristian I just would like to thank you for all the beauty you've been sending us in the years. You inspire me everyday. Thank you from the deep of my heart

[@lizdiamond1070]

love these videos. they kind of lessen the distance between artist and fan, if that makes sense

[@jefflangenberg2411]

Alec Morgan I agree. It's refreshing.

[@EnjoyerofYoutube]

of course it makes sense! it makes a lot of sense.

[@nesvii]

Intimacy. That's what i like about TMOE

[@michaeljsay]

You're absolutely right. When an artist does something like this it makes them more accessible, making the world feel a little smaller. This makes me feel like our lives are much more connected than we think they are ;) Be kind to each other internet humans.

[@just_a_har]

cynicism and coldness drain away here. thank you for this intimacy!

[@liamcallacher4252]

Thank you for the music Thank you for the moments of beauty in times of chaos it means more to me than I can express in one comment. Your music has been a huge inspiration to me, and I recently got a tallest man on earth tattoo, which I cherish dearly. Thank you

[@ryandelp5048]

Still watching. Thank you Kristian.

[@KingKuisma]

Chords as best I understood E-B-A-E B-C#m-A E B On certain nights A E the ringing in my ears B C#m A louder than the rustle of leaves E B along the path A E but who am I to scare B C#m A and who are you to follow out here? C#m B E A deep in the mile I will walk for you C#m B E deep in the lines of our summer C#m B E A I see the clouds and they seem so young F#m B what wicked mind did set their trails F#m B were they the ones that got away? E B the longest train A E that I ever saw B C#m A but what is in a ticket to move? E B could beauty lie A E in my place of fear B C#m A run and the horizon will too C#m B E A deep in the mile I will walk for you C#m B E deep in the lines of our summer C#m B E A I see the clouds and they seem so young F#m B what wicked mind did set their trails F#m B were they the ones that got away? E-B-A-E B-C#m-A E-B-A-E B-C#m-A B E B you might as well be on my shoulders, I suppose B C#m A B I can pretend I do not see you, and so it goes A B we can talk about just where the clouds are from E-B-A-E B-C#m-A

[@vanncegillgren754]

KingKuisma thank you so much for those chords...can you work out the intro? I think it’s in C...

[@MrJonjontheman]

Do you know the chords to the intro?

[@bryandekoekkoek7859]

I'm like the many others who wish this song (and more from this era) made their way into an album. Still....i just told my wife tonight that this is one of my favorite videos in the world! Hope you're doing well, Kristian.

[@Kimmocheck]

Thank you so much for these videos. They are a big light in this small world.

[@brunom.caamano8006]

You're a wonderful human being.

[@BobbyBaloney]

#scandinavian

[@EITMmusic]

Swedish Mister Rogers. Teaching lessons and entertaining at the same time.

[@stevendtaylorjr]

Your spoken introductions to these are as soothing as the songs themselves

[@EnjoyerofYoutube]

The stanza below gave me such intense chills. Kristian, your lyrics are extremely evocative to me. They make me feel so many old feelings I had forgotten, or thought I'd never feel again. "you might as well be on my shoulders, I suppose I can pretend I do not see you, and so it goes we can talk about just where the clouds are from"

[@lucasbeck6297]

i‘ve been listening to this song an entire year now, since then, when my unborn child died, i find comfort in the beauty and depth that lies in it. it converted sadness into melancholia, melancholia into serenity and then into happiness. your songs are full of authentic, understanding love. they showed me that even if something really bad happens you can still find a way out, if you’re honest and humble with life. thank you kristian for giving me that gift!

[@xImpossibleTreex]

It's been over a year, I still come back to this video. It's a beautiful and precious thing you've made here. Love.

[@musicvh]

This is beatiful

[@marcosbrito38]

Dude, I'm in love with this project! Thank you so muh for sharing these sounds and sights with us, they are very beautiful and inspiring. Can't wait for the next!

[@creaturefear1340]

A video from you makes everything okay for a little while. Thank you for doing this. The new songs sound incredible.

[@SinsOfArcadia]

Malick-esque imagery shot to the sounds of your music is just one of the best fucking things. These videos are a blessing.

[@timothyausten3390]

I wish more people would do this. This is creation right here, the space between spit and polish. This art form fosters such deep engagement with your music. Thank you for undertaking this project.

[@OKaapa]

The way you've combained your music on different landscapes blows me away. While walking on the shores of the ocean, fishing and watching the setting Sun I've found myself humming your songs. And this is definitely one for the darkening evenings. Thank you!

[@TheSonfjeld]

Thank you Kristian, for keeping me clean

[@gonzalopiedra444]

I love so much this song...

[@keepmystreakssupport3903]

I just teared up and I very rarely cry

[@HeadstockFilms]

Don't ever stop being an artist, the world is a better place with you.

[@santiagom4924]

Still one of the most beautiful songs I’ve heard

[@BarbaraJsMusic]

I have no words, but I will go with these: Thank you, so very much.

[@missbrightside871]

This makes me feel so at peace... it's so beautiful. I'm having a tough time in my life right now and this gives me something to look forward to. Thank you for sharing this.

[@EvelinaEntertainment]

Det vackraste är att det är enkelt. Det enkla berör, du berör framför allt. Tack igen!

[@mindxcircus]

One of the most beautiful song I've heard for a while. Touched by simple and sincere beauty of the lyrics too..

[@declanbcorcoran]

Artistic creations like this blow my mind. Every note, word, shot is perfect. You were born to do this, Kristian.

[@dacabbagecutta26]

Not sure if we have any affect in expressing your usefulness to us in a way that impacts you! but you truly have a way of touching and inspiring a primal moral instinct to simplify what is real in life and to keep striving to see yourself! Love this new direction! Thanks for sharing yourself with us!

[@RurouniPedro]

These videos are precious little gifts Kristian. Thank you for this project! Amazing work.

[@emmapinkley2368]

"i see the clouds and they seem so young what wicked mind did set their trails were they the ones that got away?" favorite line. so so thought provoking for me. i love this series!

[@adamouellette5971]

This is my heartbeat.

[@kartaprt]

We need more grains of sand like you, to make us (other grains of sands) feel. To encourage us to express, to live, to love. Thank you for sharing your life, your music. Thank you so much for creating your music, it really does transcend.

[@huanateufel8027]

I REALLY like your piano tunes...Thanks for taking the time to include us in your life, Kristian!!

[@magmion2783]

enchanting.

[@leeallen3633]

You’re so amazing Kristian! I’ve been coming back to this song ever since you released it, and I think I will always be coming back to it. So beautiful. I would love to hear it on a proper album, or maybe even live?? 😮

[@jacksmith25031991]

If the rest of these are like this it is going to make an awesome album.

[@fabianaairplane]

How to stand so much beauty in these videos... I don't know how to manage it. Your music is like the calm on a nice night out there in the dark nothingness and the everything. I love it, thank you.

[@brendanegrete797]

You're so talented....really, ive got no words just admiration. I can honestly say you're my favorite music artist... Have been for years and probably always will be :') ❤

[@heathergiardini8273]

This is how I am getting thru the quarantine, by listening to u all day every day 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@tracythibodeau36]

Your a beautiful man. Soothes my soul.

[@livchilds5758]

every time i see the bird take flight i weep. This is one of is so very precious to me. You're so lovely, thank you.

[@VisualDepth]

Would you please release the opening piano piece? It's gorgeous, and I want to listen to it on repeat as I fall asleep.

[@Steelking83]

Wow. These videos give me that moment of peace-the one Kristian described-that moment of awe when the sun gleams in your eyes a certain way, and it feels like life is happening in real time. If the point of art is to replicate those feelings of awe that we get from life and the world, than Kristian is succeeding.

[@erik4152]

Ännu en gång sitter jag tårögd och lyssnar om och om igen. Du känns närmare än nånsin. Så himla fint Kristian, tack!

[@santiagom4924]

Lovely, simply lovely. Thank you for making music Kristian

[@JamesStonley]

Same Ghosts is possible the most beautiful song i've heard in a long time. Why does it have to end?

[@lostforwords6]

These videos are just perfect. Every angle and shot so thoughtfully done. The music is just wonderful. I just find myself absolutely silent, staring at them when very few things on the internet ever warrant that sort of reaction. Keep them coming and make a dvd of all these at some point, so we can all keep them forever.

[@anshul4162]

This is so beautiful, hope you will release an album version of this. I'm surprised nobody has made a cover of it yet.

[@Dcwithlime]

Really nice to come back to these videos. Still wishing more of them made it into albums. Best of luck with your tour!

[@sparky123hehe]

Beautiful. there were tears..

[@jimcatalfamo8034]

a lot of time its the simple songs are the most moving that touch us

[@victoriabennett3789]

This song breaks my heart.

[@phoebexxlouise]

Thank you for making these beautiful videos!

[@oyttyoungster]

Loved this

[@luddeohlner975]

Just, just... Ahhh. So frekkin awesome.

[@robinbergstrom9665]

Vill bara säga att din musik berör så jävla mycket! tack för allt skapande!

[@pfscanna]

ohh man love the piano piece at the beginning

[@nerdilocation]

Love this, i relate so much to that "way in." As i'm trying to write and finish more songs myself, that initial spark is sometimes hard to grasp, and sometimes i overthink it so much that an abrupt return to simplicity is the only way to start. Can't wait for the next ep, Kristian :)

[@debbigriffith1890]

I love the sound of your voice and the emotion in it

[@capper6100]

If I ever find my mind in a weird place, I listen to the first 50 seconds of this video. That seems to clear things up for me. If anything has ever made me feel deeply, it was this. Don't know why, it just did.

[@mohammadzarrisakhmarzakari6944]

Still remember your show in Sg. Standing alone on the stage and gave us beautiful moment. You such talented guy. I miss the feeling.

[@Arruda305]

SO GLAD TO LISTEN FELL AND LIVE THIS MOMENTS!!!!!!!!!! GREAT TALENT MAN!

[@jabsjc]

On point my friend! Great song and message! It kind of fits my current path. Riding the process of life, I've worked until I've become good at what I do, then I married a like minded person who satisfies my need for companionship. We have two children together and move far away to brighten their futures. We lived in the second fastest growing city in America and lived fast. It was a little overwhelming, until we decided to slow down move across central Texas to the lost pines where we have slowed our living. I the country, hidden in the light that breaks through the shadows of the trees. We sit back now like ghosts and enjoy each other to the fullest. Just like it was always supposed to be. Can't wait until your next episode! Keep it up!

[@mindxcircus]

Everytime I visit your new The Light in Demos videos, a whole new bubble just wraps me up, making me feel safe while I indulge in a moment of clarity and serenity for a moment.. They are inspirational and calming, Kristian. Big love from me! Keep it up!

[@givemethebeatz]

wow great job on the cinematogaphy - beautiful! I hope these songs make it on record someday, would love to listen to them in a better sound quality

[@edwinahlnas2492]

He never cease to amaze me. Kristian you are brilliant, just brilliant.

[@DelusionalLogic]

Thank you for creating.

[@galenwinsor7468]

So movingly simple and honest.

[@kennethsaunders6584]

I look forward to these. I love how complex your simplicity is, to me anyway. Only complaint, make longer VLOG type videos? Im sure Im not the only one who wants a deeper glimpse into the mind of TTMOE.

[@oliver_2933]

Best episode of the season.

[@matheusandrino8975]

studio version, please!!

[@mathieu_onno]

This one is my favorite from you

[@aggressivejazzhands2569]

And thank you for sharing.

[@danielleforrester3164]

I love this song soSO much! All 4 episodes are wonderful, but this is my favorite so far. Can't wait for more.

[@FEARmeify]

These videos feel like a breath of fresh air, I really enjoy them. Thank you for taking the time to make them!

[@manuelafuchs6479]

Dear Kristian, Thank you so much for lighten up my day each time.

[@Geomontage]

Absolutely beautiful.

Thank you Kristian
