I was woken early this morning by the Dawn Chorus. Seemed louder than usual, as if the birds were trying to wake me. So I checked my phone and there was this upload. Thanks birds :)
Kristian you are such a pure soul, I cannot thank you enough for all that you've done for me, I know to you I'm just a stranger, another fan but you have really honestly, truly saved my life. There's nothing in the world I could possibly do to make that up to you but just know that you have my most sincerest of thanks. Keep your head up friend. And I promise I'll do the same.
I came to the comments to try and express my gratitude but this comment said it better than I ever could. Thank you Kristian, from the deepest part of me.
“Nothing and everything cannot coexist. To believe in one is to deny the other. Fear is really nothing and love is everything. Whenever light enters darkness, the darkness is abolished.” - a course in miracles Being a witness to my fear was one of the best things I could've done to begin my journey to cultivate love and *forgiveness* for myself and others...still working on it but its the beauty of the dream we call life! this song is perfect. Thank you! :)
I was first exposed to your music almost a decade ago while traveling through Ecuador. Hearing your voice and the guitar in the Andes mountains seemed surreal. I fell in love with what you do and continue to seek refuge in the work that you so graciously deliver to your audience. From watching these videos, you speak on human connection and sharing love from being to being...I believe in these principles as well and ponder on the question of “if you could sit down and have a conversation with one of your idols, who would they be”? And I honestly feel your delicatessen in your words and your true sense of self and I would love to take a walk in nature and talk about all things wondrous with you for a morning or evening. I have very few friends that I share intimate conversation with, ranging from philosophy, spiritual, emotional etc...and a friend like you, even for a day, would be a gift. Anyways, thank you for what you do. I feel your introverted ways. You are confronting them in an amazing way. Take care and know your work touches individuals lives such as mine.
Every time you post one of these "episodes" a joy comes to my heart. Thank you for posting these and letting us into your world. I could listen to your voice forever.
I don’t know. I think we do need more songs about loss and heartbreak, because that shit’s important. It’s crucial to find importance and value in yourself and in your own growth, but I also believe that life is inherently about other people. People with whom to share your life, your thoughts, your love, your ideas, your laughter, and your loss. And I think that maybe this song is important just because it came out of you as easily as it did. I’ve had that feeling before too and it’s miraculous. Like stepping into the sun.
Det är så mycket mer än sång som gömmer sig i din röst, och mer än en historia i dina ögon när du berättar om vad de betyder. Det är det som gör det här ”pratandet med kameran”, som du tycker är så skumt, så magiskt lyxigt för oss som älskar din musik. Det känns! I alla sinnen. Snälla fortsätt. Och Tack.
The world might not need another song of heartbreak, but I needed this song. Thank you, thank you for giving me another brick to step forward onto as my heart heals.
Love the ambient music bed you put under yourself when you’re speaking to the camera. I’d buy an album of that in less than a heartbeat. Beautiful song and video Kristian, thanks for sharing with us!
I just watched this video after seeing you in concert in Fort Collins this past Friday. I will just say this - you are one of the most authentic and talented performers I've ever had the privilege to see. Your show was more than worth the trip from Canada. This song is raw, honest and beautiful. Heartbreak can make you feel like your entire life is one big thunderstorm - you just have to let all of those thoughts and emotions rip out, even if it's to an inanimate object with a lens and a metal heart. We're here to listen. But remember, the clouds will eventually clear, the sun will start to shine, and the birds will sing with you. :-)
your honesty and rawness is what makes you the "beauty in the dirt" or whatever you said. Your painful experiences fuel your writing to discover yourself, and through that comes self-revelation and self-acceptance. Know that you are enough. As for your music, well WOWSERS it is beyond enough.
I recently started thinking the best way to gain self acceptance is just by helping each others out. We think we're supposed to be autonomous when we clearly can't. Maybe the shortest route to happiness is just being there for other lost souls... Your songs have really helped me finding beauty again. Sending love from the other side of the planet!
You know TMOE, I don't know how to tell you but I've always wanted to say that when I was a wee lad you were the biggest influence on my guitar playing and still are. Appreciate everything you've done
In a place where is so easy to slide into not feeling enough, is so freeing to have reminders like this to remember that all that is bullshit and feeling complete or not depends on what is coming from within. And i think that when someone feels whole is when that person can trully give value to others, like a pure light without filters that shines without hesitation
Came across this song by accident due to looking for another one I haven’t yet seemed to find, interestingly though tallest man on earth and his music has incidentally and unintentionally marked some poignant moments in my life, albeit in a peculiar kind of way. This time however listening to this song I scrolled through the comments reading them and then came to think how each and every comment had a name and a picture, all these people from around the globe with different lives, stories and experiences, but I was moved by the thought that each person, each picture and name was once a new born baby, all those amazing moments being brought into the world for the first time, and all of which ended up here enjoying this one song 🌿. I have absolutely no idea why that came into my head but I’m glad it did.
I love those 2 "roar" sounds from the beginning of this video so much. Anyone knows how you can create such a sound? 5 more months to see this wonderful gentleman live again :D
I always knew your name in the folk scene, but I have to say these videos over the last few months have really been incredible. I've grown to have a new appreciation for your music through the cinematography and the stories. I "hear" you better because of what you're showing me. Thanks for that.
It's easy to get lost in our own mistakes. I've found that to be the root of mistreatment of ourselves. If we can learn to accept our own mistakes we could be happier with ourselves and find it easier to love ourselves. And it's easier to find peace. I hope this finds itself in the hands of a wonderer.
How pleasant it was to notice the sun coming into the room at the end of the video and then in the same instant, you do as well and leave to step into it. I'm glad as an artist you notice the little things and take time to break down details of your process. I'm finding myself connecting to these new songs just by hearing how they appeared in your life. Your raw sound is perfect in its imperfections to me and the heartbreak you portray is so heart-wrenching and relatable. What you also show is that no matter how broken or deep into the hurt we can get, there is always a glimmer, a ray, a sign of hope to keep moving. A lot of us need these songs to see that and for that I hope you keep sharing with us and show the introverts of the world what can happen when they share what's behind those doors. It's so important and a great reminder of what can come of stepping beyond our comfort zones. Thank you so so much.
With every song of yours that I listen to, I'm enraptured from the first note. I can't wait to see where your music and lyrics take me. Every song. I love your soul my friend. I thank you for all that you do for me and for so many others.
I have no way of knowing if these words and your eyes will ever cross paths, but I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that your music has meant so much to me throughout the years. From the upbeat to the melancholy, I've loved it all and I've always admired how genuine you were. A lot of people who make beautiful art know they make beautiful art and it changes the way they think about that art. It changes from coming from an organic place to one that's meant to be thought of as beautiful. It becomes crafted, calculated, intentional. The best art, in my opinion, is none of those things. It just kind of happens. Your words on heartbreak - namely the self exploration and self rediscovery that follows it ring extremely true. I've got my ticket to see you in Virginia in May and I'm looking forward to it more than I have looked forward to something in a long time.
Bless you, my friend. Thank you for the warmth and light you share even when you're passing through dark places. It makes life sweeter and and brighter for me every day. xo
To those in Sweden , with ❤️. Continue your music of the perfection of imperfection Kristian Matsson as the World🌎 can embrace your Heavenly Gait on the instruments of sweetest embrace🌞
I find myself keep coming back to this video, I really like the song, but I'm noticing I really like the first bit of that motown song. That's really nice. I wish there was a full version of that song (done by you) somewhere :)
You’re music inspired me to move out of Ny , my own “wild hunt , this song made me reminisce about home and family , and I thank you for that and you’re whole discography !
I love your voice so much and lyrics are amazing. Revelation Blues is my all time fav and my playlist is full of your songs. I love em all. I really want to meet you and tell you how much i love your songs
Wow... You never fail to make me wonder, make me listen, make feel apart of who you are and what is going on in your world. So grateful to have heard your music and be lucky enough to share a piece of time with you, even if we are on different sides of the earth.
Saw you in Oslo at Folketeateret and you played a version of this one with banjo. I really liked that one. You should consider uploading it on your channel if you have some time :-) Awesome show btw. Visit Norway again, very soon :-)
Thank you, again. I feel like we've been in conversation for the past several years; something in your music speaks to something in my soul that is always waiting to hear. Now, hearing your words, I better understand where there is truth in how I perceive the world. I hope to see you in Eau Claire this fall, with love Another fan
Love you man, always will. You are a true inspiration for me. Thank you for all you've done. One of my favorite creations of yours was the ending of "Dark Bird Is Home". Please make something based around and similar to that.
I love your videos mate and I love the way you're delivering them. I always look to your music to center me and it never disappoints, your music is both an inspiration and an escape. Thanks bud.
This video is the first thing I saw today. It's amazing how similar human experiences can be, yet we're all so different. Heartbreak, sigh, I know, man. And loving yourself and having that be enough... That's the hardest but most important thing I've been trying to do. Taking it day by day, that's what helps me. And finding a passion and putting your energy and love into it. Thank you for sharing your passion with me and others. The sun is shining here too. Let's enjoy it apart, yet together. :-)
Ello man, great serie, i have seen it lots and lots of times, you look peacefull, great music man, thanks. hey whats the name of the little green "organ" you use at the beggining? Greetings from Mexico
Kristian (I don't know if you run this channel personally), you are a big inspiration for me as a novice songwriter. Do you have any tips on self-publishing music? I have so many songs that I want to record, and I don't know if I should even bother trying to get the attention of a record label. I intend to record with just myself and my guitar, so it would be fairly easy to do. Thanks for staying true to your music, Avery
Simple answer your life is a gift live the darkness with a smile sing songs of truth and love then small steps one by one peace will grow 🌈 Ohh it is OK to be sad just never give up on tomorrow
"Life isn't about waiting for the storm to pass, it's about learning to dance with the rain."
I was woken early this morning by the Dawn Chorus. Seemed louder than usual, as if the birds were trying to wake me. So I checked my phone and there was this upload. Thanks birds :)
I hope this means we'll get a Bantham tutorial sometime soon!
A new one to work on!
Matt you seem to have adapted to Kristian's current playing style very well. I'm sure you'll have this worked out in a day or two :)
"The sun it out, I'm going to go step into it. I hope it shines on you." Beautiful
What a painful lyric, I run before the day would have me to believe that your dance, within me, is only but a dream. I feel that so much :')
Kristian you are such a pure soul, I cannot thank you enough for all that you've done for me, I know to you I'm just a stranger, another fan but you have really honestly, truly saved my life. There's nothing in the world I could possibly do to make that up to you but just know that you have my most sincerest of thanks. Keep your head up friend. And I promise I'll do the same.
This is truly inspiring. Thank YOU.
Well said friend, spread the love
I came to the comments to try and express my gratitude but this comment said it better than I ever could. Thank you Kristian, from the deepest part of me.
Just discovered those episodes. I find a lot of calm in them. Thank you.
That guitar is so beautiful and the sounds he makes with it are heartbreaking

Being a witness to my fear was one of the best things I could've done to begin my journey to cultivate love and *forgiveness* for myself and others...still working on it but its the beauty of the dream we call life!
this song is perfect. Thank you! :)
Today is my birthday, this is by far the best present I’ve received. Thank you so much Kristian
For some reason, I get a strong sense of nostalgia listening to this. Thank you for that.
Yes, Lo-Fi! This is why I love your music It's super tender but has an imperfect grit surface that the tender shines through.

It's easy to forget to love yourself, I will listen to this song and remember how.

Beautiful. thank you
once again you have slowed down this wild world. thank you for that. once again.
He is good at that... slowing down the world for all of us...
The most beautiful song
You know TMOE, I don't know how to tell you but I've always wanted to say that when I was a wee lad you were the biggest influence on my guitar playing and still are. Appreciate everything you've done
it always makes me want to pick up a guitar when I hear his songs
I love this video so much, it feels like I could reach out and touch you
I love how personal and honest these videos are, thank you.
We’re all fighters, and music is a weapon- and as far as weapons go, this one cuts deep. Thanks for sharing.

Definitely going to be watching this multiple times
I'm glad i've turned on notifications for these videos. These are so great. Keep em coming!
I like this version so much more than the studio version. Beautiful work Kristian
It is so good... I haven't yet pulled up the studio version. Haven't had to!
I LOVE U
I love those 2 "roar" sounds from the beginning of this video so much. Anyone knows how you can create such a sound?
5 more months to see this wonderful gentleman live again :D

Forgiveness and healing are long, fluctuating processes. Thank you for sharing your journey through your songs, it has really helped me.
Great great Song!
Still waiting for the next one Kristian! 😉

Bravo!...beautiful
Bought my tickets for his Seattle show in November a month ago. I can’t wait to see him live. It will be such an amazing experience
incredible! I've been a fan for many years, I really like this new direction of music you're going :)
love that sweater

Great song! Can you please, please just do an album of your synth pad music? It's so awesome on its own!
The sun is out and I will step into it. I hope it shines on you. What a beautiful benediction

damn this is awesome, I will be listening to this guy all my life.
Such a beautiful video, from begin to finish!!
These effects in the intro and outro are soo mesmerizing.
I wonder how this is made...
You are almost as good at cinematography as you are at writing music! So good and thank you so much for sharing this! So inspiring!
You’re music inspired me to move out of Ny , my own “wild hunt , this song made me reminisce about home and family , and I thank you for that and you’re whole discography !
