only people who feel music rather than listen to music can hear the genius ensconced within this.....i played acoustic guitar for 25 years professionally and learning his music opened an entire universe of what is capable out of a acoustic guitar....some people have to get past the initial vocals but they will suddenly grow on you

That is quite a claim. Bob Dylan, etc,etc,etc

Watched him live singing this when the strap for the guitar broke. He stood on stage, all alone, with the guitar balanced on his thigh and sang this. I cried, and I never cry. If you get a chance to see him, you gotta go. Cheers.

Alone on an evening hike I once heard this voice echo through the Grand Canyon. Interesting to find out it came all the way from Sweden.

Well I walk upon the river like it's easier than land Evil's in my pocket and your will is in my hand Oh, your will is in my hand And I'll throw it in the current that I stand upon so still Love is all, from what I've heard, but my heart's learned to kill Oh, mine has learned to kill Oh, I said I could rise From the harness of our goals Here come the tears But like always, I let them go Just let them go And now spikes will keep on falling from the heavens to the floor The future was our skin and now we don't dream anymore No, we don't dream anymore Like a house made from spider webs and the clouds rolling in I bet this mighty river's both my savior and my sin Oh, my savior and my sin Oh, I said I could rise From the harness of our goals Here come the tears But like always, I let them go Just let them go Well I walk upon the river like it's easier than land Evil's in my pocket and your strength is in my hand Your strength is in my hand And I'll throw you in the current that I stand upon so still Love is all, from what I've heard, but my heart's learned to kill Oh, mine has learned to kill Oh, I said I could rise From the harness of our goals Here come the tears But like always, I let them go Just let them go

Pontus Nordborg I’d say for sure. I’ve always thought of Dylan as a fantastic songwriter and a great guitar player, but not a great vocalist.

his music instantly realised me from a 10 year writers block once I tuned my guitar all the way down to OPEN C and Capo's it is was entering another universe I never saw. I owe my music to him thank you for taking my love of acoustic guitar and connected it to my soul ....now I can pick up a guitar and turn the knobs on any direction and play and write melodies that never would have been possible

This is soooooo much better than the album version. Not that the album version is bad, but to hear someone do it better live I rare.

This man is a gift from God!

Seems like we all have similar taste for music. So please, let's talk together like friends...

Been coming back to this for years and years now.

This has to be one of the most beautiful songs ever. :')

i saw him last year, it was magical. there was no stage and i sat in the first row. it was like he was playing just for me in my living room... i love that he seems to be aware of every single second of his concert.

Best music video in KZread ever.

Hidden gem

From 0:44 you can see a look of satisfaction appear on his face as he realises how sweet the acoustic set up Jools Holland has. Some of the best live versions of songs are from Jools.

Keep coming back to this one.

My ears love this

Love The Tallest Man On Earth and it must be said, the sound engineers on Jools Holland are second to none!

sweetest man on earth

Dylan has said, "I dont know where those songs came from." as if inspired, by a separate entity. He knows what he did early in his career, was brilliant. That kind of creativity, only happens once in a lifetime.

This song is perfect

a man, a guitar are able to make me cry.

everytime I low or depressed I listen to this angelic song what a thrill

Love the guitar on this, beautiful song

Casual, confident and crisp... this is the way it should be done.

1/23/2020. just discovered this guy. so glad I did. what an amazing artist.

Utter perfection. This song has so much emotion

How much I love this song, it will always bring me some sad but still good times of my life back in my mind.

How does this man not cry every time he plays this song? Ugh. So good

His studio voice is great, sure, but oh man, his live voice is amazing...

this performance is perfect. no word can better describe it, oh

One of the best artists from the past 5 years, that's for sure. This song is crazy beautiful.

I have listened to this song everyday for about 11 months now. Sign of a good'n.

This amazing poet and musician will be a legend in his own time - he is that talented.

This is the best live performance of any song that i've ever heard, simply amazing.

Trying to learn how to play this song makes you appreciate the song all over again. Absolutely no idea how he plays it and sings at the same time, unbelievable performance

I don't understand how people could dislike this, so amazing.

When I wake up, the first thing I do before breakfast, I put this on and my day is good to go.

I had never cried at a concert until I heard this performed. Simply beautiful.

i actually can't beleive what i just witnessed. . . .one word- M A G I C. This is real life magic, utterly brilliant.

one of my favorite songs from him

"Just a short audio recording"... Just all of our minds blown!

Still get chills after a 100+ listenings. That's a rare, rare thing.

I saw kristian live in Atlanta...there's noone else I'd rather see preform. Best experience I've had in my 17 years

This is one of my favorite playings of this song. So peaceful.

Love in every way 😍😍😍😍

Mesmerizing - can't get enough of this guy's music

that the most beautiful song that i heard this year can come from one man and not even a band blows me away, so simple yet so pure. made me pick my guitar up again.

One second, instant goosebumps. And I've already listened to this song about 20000 times.

Still one of the most amazing acts to see live!!!!

Probably the best live performance I have ever seen. Absolutely unbelievable.

i LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE him.

6 People saw this genius, and their heads exploded. As their neck stumps fell over, they bumped the mouse just right to hit the dislike button. It's tragic, really.

Une des plus belles versions que j'ai écoutées. Tout le monde devrait prendre le temps de l'entendre. Bravo!!!

I saw him back home in Sweden about 2 weeks ago. One of the best concerts I´ve ever been to. I sat on the third row but even then I had a hard time seeing clearly during the last song because of all the people rushing to the front.

Can't. Stop. Watching.

Manly tears were shed.

It can't get better than this

His range is INSANE and is done so effortlessly! He reminds me of Jamie Woon in that respect.

giving me the chills in 98 degree weather! Hi from Massachusetts! x

This is how awesomeness sounds.

I just can`t get enough of it!

happy he's getting the recognition he deserves

It's as if this man's music is a magnet and my emotions are metal. I listen to one song and it latches on to sadness then pulls it to the surface...another song grabs onto happiness and yet another song makes nostalgia take hold. I'm so glad I found this artist!

this dude is so magical

Best version of this song ever
