Sweden’s Kristian Matsson – aka The Tallest Man On Earth – emerged as one of the most charismatic, entertaining new singer-songwriters in the world. Scowering the stage menacingly at solo performances which became infamous, his gritty twang of a voice and stunningly intricate guitar lines made early comparisons to Bob Dylan not all that ridiculous.

I will play “Weather Of A Killing Kind”. I will play other songs. I will water the plants. Kristian playing his Joni Mitchell covers. And that Bon Iver cover was so beautiful!.

I’m going to do another YouTube livestream / hang from my room this Friday, April 17th at 3pm eastern time (21:00 CET). I’m still learning how to do these, I will try to tame the buffering monster the days leading up to it.

TRACK LIST: 3:27 Fields Of Our Home 9:03 För sent för Edelweiss 16:26 Museum of Flight 23:28 Weather of a Killing Kind 32:15 A Case Of You 43:00 Winds and Walls 52:20 Tougher Than the Rest 57:40 Blood Bank 1:08:46 1904 1:21:33 ‘I want to go everywhere’ (Not an actual song, I just like his strumming pattern 🙂 1:22:44 Like The Wheel 1:25:40 Eva Dahlgren is the musician, but I don’t know the song.  1:27:59 ‘The Most Beautiful of Souls’ (I don’t know the song, sorry!)

“Same Ghost” is the second episode of a video project I started working on . I’ve decided to produce, write, direct, record, shoot and edit a series of videos by myself and release them here as I finish them. Each video features a demo of a new song or a cover that I record live on camera (except when friends join, their parts will likely be overdubbed).

While I love playing shows, and will get back out on the road eventually, I’ve found myself wanting to record what’s right in front of me, but not just through song, and not months or years after the fact. And while making music is endlessly inspiring, so is being quiet enough to stare at the way the light hits the barn.

I want to share the light and the sound, but not without a bit of risk – I’m not used to sharing demos – and not without a bit of uncertainty.  Subscribe to my channel to see them as they happen. I hope you enjoy.  K.M

“Same Ghost” is the second episode of The Light in Demos, a video project produced, written, directed, recorded, shot and edited by The Tallest Man on Earth.
