#the tallest man on earth
your fear of the leading light
if they are with you and your heart won’t fail
to see through a fearless eye
and know that danger finally goes away
still you’re trying
but there’s no leaving now

“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
Designed this piece for a Musical themed art show at work. The goal was to create a 12.5 x 12.5 piece to function as the album sleeve for a recording artist’s single.
I chose the titular track from The Tallest Man on Earth’s “The Wild Hunt.” It’s a lovely album, though in hindsight I probably would have chosen something with more broad appeal or personal meaning.
