Tallest Man On Earth, The - What I've Been Kicking Around Lyrics

I love the lick he does. I'd listen to the instrumental.

when he leans up against the wall... the perfect intersection between music and visuals

It’s like if the Lumineers did coke

Recorded on my birthday, ahhh 🍯✨

2:55 Oh man I missed this wonderful man.

This is a real Stockholm-guy!

Nej det är han inte, eftersom Kristian kommer från Leksand i Dalarna.

@Niklas Byström Har visserligen aldrig varit i Dalarna men jag har varit i Stockholm, och varje kille på Södermalm ser ut som Kristian. En typisk Södermalm-snubbestil så att säga.

Hipsterstilen finns över hela landet, och för den delen även i de flesta andra länder i världen, som den även importerades ifrån.

Is that a Dan electro?

denna versionen tycker jag är mycket bättre än den på spotify!! :(
this version is way better than the one on spotify!

Big fan!!! ! https://stift-records.webnode.nl/

What is this guitar? I need to know so I can faun over it knowing all thew while I can't afford it

Analogcolor I saw in another comment that it’s a Harmony H-44 Stratotone

What is that drawing/figure on the wall?

Absolutely love that tiny moment of panic when he forgets the next lyric, but then carries it off perfectly!

It's like the guitar is a part of his body.

You have an amazing version here. I keep coming back to it.
I even like it better than the album version, especially together with the video. Thank you for this!

at 1:26 you can hear his button hit the guitar in his lav mic. Bet that drove the mixing engineer nuts. Great stuff as always!

Love your music so damn much

Dear God, this is one of the most beautiful performances I've ever seen.

tom puit I’ve been playing this non stop and I can’t stop!

Good God I love this guy. His music, lyrics. Well done sir.

He is so intensely genuine.

i need someone to explain to me that picking pattern im getting grey hairs here

Very similar to Love is All from what it sounds like

There's sixteenth note rests that make this pattern tricky at speed. Count one-ee-and-ah two-ee-and-ah and play list one, rest, and-ah-two, rest, and-ah three and four and---- repeat. Alternate the thumb to pick on one and two so you get a steady groove going. Once you can feel that groove and cleanly emphasize the melody line going on on top, the verse isn't that bad. Unlike most Tallest Man on Earth songs, the verse uses standard chord shapes/voicings. The chorus, however, is ridiculous. There's a little chromatic walk up and the vocal line is NOT with the thumb - it lines up with the higher notes - so it feels syncopated when you play and sing. The higher notes and voice are also not in perfect unison and have some spots where the harmony is like a major second. I really like the song though. Good luck learning it!

Please can someone help me to find this jacket! I want to offer it to my brother because he is a fan of the tallest man on earth and he said me that he live this jacket but I can't found it! (sorry if my English is bad, i'me French 😁) thank you

Brother, you delivered again. Your songs always help me to get lost out there in the wilderness and deal with anxiety. Greetings from Estonia, my almost-neighbor!

Who else hit that replay button immediately after first listen.....? 😏

M surprised it hasn't reached million views yet

I have to have this on spotify

i need this on spotify so bad

César Hernández I KNOW!!!!

Is it just me or does he seem a lot more relaxed when he performs now?

I think before he was slightly socially awkward, especially if you watch his old KEXP sets, I think he's grown into himself, I love the guy

Total transformation. It's fascinating and I'd love to hear the story behind how he made that happen. Why don't interviewers ever ask the burning questions?

​@Victoria Bennett I think you can just hear a lot of it through his music, hes grown as both a person and musician, and I kinda like the mysterious transformation vibe ;p But you can really hear and see him change as a person from Theres No Leaving, Dark Bird, and finally Fever Dream.

@Clacking Computer Well said.

love love love this

beautiful,, lithe.. belongs in a secret garden,, ya know <3 xx

Some of your honey in my hand
And a silver dollar in my shoe
Time has never been so kind
The naked spring, the weightless songs
And the memories of being young
And the breath of getting out
And days wanting to stay with him without
Keep my green eyes open for what I've been kicking around
I open up the windows now
Let the wind right through my country home
Let my nose just fly around
Then get some rest upon a log
Where so many years of leaves did fall
Like a bed of all what's been
And days wanting to stay with him without
Keep my green eyes open for what I've been kicking around
I leave at night before the dreams are in
Can't lay and wait for their unraveling
I need my manners, not my wary soul
And there's so much kindness in the world
Some of your honey in my hand
And a silver dollar in my shoe
Time had never been so bold
I cut my losses, leave the ground
Feel a humming every wheel I turn
And the breath of getting out
And days wanting to stay with him without
Keep my green eyes open for what I've been kicking around, ha

Caleb Kendrick within without

Looks and sounds awesome!

Another gem! 🤘🏻

This dude has changed his sound so many times.

So passionate!

what an absolute joy to watch this video. the location is so amazing and the video is so beautifully filmed by Mahogany and the song is so beautifully performed by Kristian. Cant express enough how appreciated videos like this are. thank you so much

Maravilhoso demais!

Я ни чего не понял!Но очень классно)!!!

Amazing as always. And a wonderful live show, fantastic energy and talent.

cinematography is like the beginning of a cheesy horror movie

If you close your eyes it's Bob Dylan himself

Glen Beckner
Correction... dude’s way better.

Where can I get that jacket?

Same lmao

Kristian said on an Instagram comment that it came from "Kapital"

This was bloody glorious. Beautifully shot, wickedly play and full of character. I cannot wait to see you TMoE this year :)

I've been studying this guy a lot recently.. There is no shortcut or voice effect to sound like this, he is just amazing live !!

Exactly. That and a HELL of a lot of practice at finger picking.

and can you tell us what guitar it is?

Mr Maker harmony stratotone (h44 I think), great little axes

love a man who forgets his own lyrics. <3

I love all of his work. This one is very special though.

Love how real you are.. having fun and just be you. Thanks for this dude!

What just happened here

I know right I feel blessed

Amazing as always!

I miss his latest sessions... a great deal so. 💔

I think theme from mahogany was one of the best songs ever wtitten

Am in the only person who thought this was a video showcasing the tallest man in the world?

Miss him so much! Put your whole songs on spotify please TTMOE

Amazing and about time, more please

Can we talk about that ooohhh at 2:27. Love him!!

His live version is somehow just as good or better than his album version. Incredible!

Just me or does that fretboard look wide as hell?

Not just you

@V4 no the fretboard is huge... harmony h44 slide guitar! thing of beauty

Bjoo bjoo!!

Sweden keeps on delivering greatness

He's brilliant! And as always the location and filming are such a great addition to the performance.

Gotta love him

Gorgeous...😊

the authenticity 👌👌👌

is there a cover of this song ?

His music is so damn good It's down right medicinal. No matter how I'm feeling or what's going through my mind as soon as I hear him sing I feel a state of trance like relaxation and all worries just ebb away.

Ohhh medicinal indeed! It automatically puts the biggest smile on my face!! Pure joy! ♥

He needs a harmonica.

He uses one sometimes!

AYYYYUP MA BOİ KRİSTİAN HERE WİTH THEM AMAZİNG PRODUCTİON AND ENERGETİC SELF

Love this song!

This version is sooo awesome.

Love this man and this version and everything about this

Awesome!

I love this man!!!! I mean c'mon... This voice and energy!!!

Can’t believe Kristian’s on Mahogany! Brilliant as always!

Am I losing my mind or is he actually playing in standard tuning?

The Elevator Anthem
it’s not the first time at all!

Hahahahahaa

Then I won't sing no more is in standard tuning as well, and quite a bit easier than this one to play

it's a tear in the fabric

He talked about this in his last tiny desk concert. He was in a rut in terms of writing so he went to a guitar shop and picked up a nice gibson hollowbody that was in standard tuning and was suddenly inspired to write again :)

You're good dude:)
