He delivers something utterly complete -- his melody, singular lyrics, guitar playing, sound of his voice, and the whole haunting, spiritual experience of the song. This is a great take - thanks for posting it.
my god this is amazing... this is really the goal of my life to experience a moment like this.... wine, bread, cheese, butter, soulmate and ur music on THAT place... really... you make my feet go up and down with joy
Sometimes a singer/songwriter will comes up with a song which grabs you by the balls, says this is music and makes everything you have heard before seem irrelivent. The sort of song that reminds us all of what we once were before life put on hard corners and TV, and other rubbish dulled our passion for life.
I listened to this lying naked in bed with my lover, sharing a cigarette in the night. It has helped to crystalize this moment forever for me. Thank you so much. x
saw him outside his house playing one day when i was walking around with my friends in leksand. didnt know who he was untill a few months later. saw him at baren before also! he is great man.
I was very upset so I came to listen to this song. It made me so happy, I wanted to experience it. I made the video full screen and imagined I was right there, next to Kristian playing that beautiful music. Then the darkness of the video caught up to me and I saw the reflection of my room and remembered I wasn't really there. Thank you, Alexis for uploading this. It really helped me forget about my worries right now.
This is one of my very favorite songs, and to see it performed against a stunning sunset, live and personal, is both heartwarming, and admittedly a little jealousy forming. :)
This may be the most beautifully filmed live performances I've seen. As someone who films bands, kudos. Fantastic. Oh and Tallest Man on Earth is one of the greatest folk musicians in at least two decades.
@LolaPowers1 if you have experienced them, they are yours to keep. they will never be taken away. don't be afraid to be happy, and make new memories. i think this song might be a good reminder of what's out there, of why life is truly worthy of being enjoyed.
I have a similar problem with Leonard Cohen. Though I did come across a video in which he appeared in his long johns not not so long ago - which went some way to fixing the problem.
By the sound of his voice it sounds that his soul is burning like the sky, because with all of fever in his mind, he could not find a place , and don't know where do his bluebird fly...
Oh, well I know you stroke the set-up baby Of all the leaves up in the crown And I know your song is old but healthy As I see dry leaves fallin' down, oh With all this fever in my mind I could drown in your kerosene eyes Oh, you're just a riddle in the sky Oh, where do my bluebird fly? And as the early sigh of dawn will thunder I see you stir the fog around And when you find the voice and gears of sunset We'll hear that high and lonesome sound, oh And I would question every wind If they'd gone through the glow of your eyes, oh You're just a riddle in the sky Oh, where do my bluebird fly? Oh, well I know you stroke your feathers baby Upon the ghosts along my trail And I know our light was sold and buried Before I knew it was for sale, oh With all this fever in my mind I should aim for your kerosene eyes, oh You're just a target in the sky Oh where do my bluebird fly? I say where do my bluebird fly?

Holy sweet Jesus, beautiful scenery, beautiful song. I've been in the city too long, I need to see a sunset on the water.
His voice is so rough, so beautiful, along with the sunset? This is genius
my god this is amazing... this is really the goal of my life to experience a moment like this....
wine, bread, cheese, butter, soulmate and ur music on THAT place... really... you make my feet go up and down with joy
I've always been impressed when someone can make such amazing music with just his voice and a guitar.
the coolest man on earth

beautiful voice, beautiful scenery, beautiful video

What he is experiencing while playing, singing and being surrounded by that amazing paradisiacal sunset only a very few can know.
I could listen to this song a thousand times and would never become boring to me...love, love, love it....
"oh well I know you stroke your feathers baby upon the ghosts along my trail"
he sings this line so beautifully, it kills me a little
One of the first videos i came across almost a decade ago. My god coming back to it feels like the first time all over again.
his work will inspire singer songwriters for generations

Its so neat. he's just a silhouette with a voice. no face just music paired with a sunset to beautiful to be real.
Jag har nördat sönder alla klipp som finns med denna man, gånger flera. Så otroligt bra!
This fantastic music and the sunset on a sea.....what more could i say?
Man - He just keeps getting better and better. Wonderful video.
This is one of my very favorite songs, and to see it performed against a stunning sunset, live and personal, is both heartwarming, and admittedly a little jealousy forming. :)
My favorite song right there.
Stirring, moving. Beautiful.
This may be the most beautifully filmed live performances I've seen. As someone who films bands, kudos. Fantastic.

@AlexisFortierGauthie ...where abouts is the footage taken??? the scenery is really nice...
Damn. I wish, I could have been there, with the girl of my choice, listen to that perfect sound...
I have a similar problem with Leonard Cohen. Though I did come across a video in which he appeared in his long johns not not so long ago - which went some way to fixing the problem.
What I want to know is how you actually managed to arrange this!
Thank you so much!
By the sound of his voice it sounds that his soul is burning like the sky, because with all of fever in his mind, he could not find a place , and don't know where do his bluebird fly...

Troligtvis Leksand..... Han kommer därifrån.
Sjukt nice
Fuckin Perfect
Everything is fantastic in this video !
För sent svar kanske men det är filmat i Leksand! Jag bor där så jag vet precis vart den där bryggan i bakgrunden ligger någonstanns ;)
Is there any way we can get still shots from this? I would love to make this my background on my desktop.
When I tried learning Swedish, I noticed that Swedish S's are pronounced sort of like someone with a lisp.
Sweden represent.
@gstaceym72 tallest not in stature, but in heart.

Joke's on you, there's a compressor on that guitar.
mistakes are music too.
Haha, yea right...
i just died a little bit.
Oh, well I know you stroke the set-up baby
Of all the leaves up in the crown
And I know your song is old but healthy
As I see dry leaves fallin' down, oh
With all this fever in my mind
I could drown in your kerosene eyes
Oh, you're just a riddle in the sky
Oh, where do my bluebird fly?
And as the early sigh of dawn will thunder
I see you stir the fog around
And when you find the voice and gears of sunset
We'll hear that high and lonesome sound, oh
And I would question every wind
If they'd gone through the glow of your eyes, oh
You're just a riddle in the sky
Oh, where do my bluebird fly?
Oh, well I know you stroke your feathers baby
Upon the ghosts along my trail
And I know our light was sold and buried
Before I knew it was for sale, oh
With all this fever in my mind
I should aim for your kerosene eyes, oh
You're just a target in the sky
Oh where do my bluebird fly?
I say where do my bluebird fly?
