    From "voice memo that got out" to lead single for the album, nice.

    I have no idea why I get so emotional whenever I watch these. It's not even a sad-kind of feeling, it's more like a lesson about "How to fall in love with life" that I practice for the next two weeks. Until the next video comes up, that is. I watch it, I wake up the next day and sing on my way to work and appreciate everything I see around me. Thank you, Kristian!

    Kristian, do you see the joy and love and light you bring to this world? Yours are the only videos on UA-cam where I read the comments. After listening to your music, it is almost impossible to write something that would cause hurt, pain, or suffering to those who read it. Bravo! You are becoming...

    • @williamd7375
      @williamd7375 7 років тому +3

      I know most of his "lyrics", my friend. Love and joy arise from pain and suffering. I hope you find the beauty in your soul so that you can become aware of the joy of his music and the "almost" perfectly joyful thread of comments under his videos. With a bow and a smile, I add these words.

      @@casaninchiify hah, your so bent on ruining others happiness with your opinion of what Is what. I truly pity those who think like you.. i truly do.. your brain damaged by years of Cynicism and an unwavering belief/feeling that you need others to feel and see the way you do.. im sure youll have some self aggrandizing comment about my lack of ..your version of analysis... i couldn't walk a mile in your shoes, because you chose to walk barefoot... you can suffer without cause, i will not. 🤠

    Amazing, the vocal melody is more similar to many of the songs on the wild hunt than to that of your recent releases. Really excellent.

    This is my favorite one of these videos so far. Especially with the surreal OP-1 drone at the beginning. I keep coming back to this song over and over again. Would totally dig a studio version of it

    You put it on here, so it WILL be saved and shared forever. No matter how "professionally" you record it, this is as good as it gets. Take it from a third person perspective. I can't believe its been almost ten years and I've never subscribed.

    It's a privilege to watch you grow, watch your thoughts manifest in music, to help others in your individual spectrum of emotions... really no diction would accurately describe the beauty...you know your shadow gives the best of lights, when you see the crow acallin, and to which we grow together, duty heavy as a mountain, death light as a feather, we reflect the sun with the light we bring home, and as we breach the river, it whispers you're not alone
