“The Dreamer” by The Tallest Man On Earth

If there is any artist I have been wanting to blog about for a long time, it’s The Tallest Man On Earth, otherwise known as Kristian Matsson. Commonly compared to Bob Dylan - this Swedish artist really knows how to caress his guitar, whilst belting out raw, poetic tunes.

Not one to love the spotlight, The Tallest Man On Earth carries a certain mystery. We don’t know much about Kristian other than his music - which adds a certain significance and a greater pulchritude to his sound. 

He is rightfully crowned The King Of Spain - which is evident in his music.

I chose to blog about “The Dreamer”, as it stands out from the rest of the songs on “The Wild Hunt”, and I have a personal connection to the lyrics. My favourite line would have to be: “just enough dark to see how you’re the light over me.” Sometimes the difficult times in life make you realise how amazing some individuals are. The hard times create a contrast between loving individuals and pessimism. People can be your light, your hope and your guidance.

I’m just a dreamer but I’m hanging on

Though I am nothing big to offer

I watch the birds, how they dive in then gone

It’s like nothing in this world’s ever still

And I’m just a shadow of your thoughts in me

But sun is setting, shadows growing

A long cast figure will turn into night

It’s like nothing in this world ever sleeps

Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird

And why can’t that always be

Tossing aside from your birches crown

Just enough dark to see

How you’re the light over me

And by your side, girl, where the acres grow

Into the strong and stunning meadow

A cowboy stumbling in the finest field

And nothing good out there won’t be old

Oh sometimes the blues is just a passing bird

And why can’t that always be

Tossing aside from your birches crown

Just enough dark to see

How you’re the light over me

Sometimes the blues is just a passing bird

And why can’t that always be

Tossing aside from your birches crown

Just enough dark to see

How you’re the light over me
