    I love this man SO much. I don't think anyone will ever have as much of an impact on my thought process, writing process, and my becoming-a-better-human process as Kristian has. He has truly changed my life, and, boy oh boy, I'm so grateful. I could say "thank you" until the end of time and it would never ever ever be enough. THANK YOU KRISTIAN!!

    "This is not the end, this is fine. I sing that now, maybe to someone else for comfort in all this turmoil. Cause the sea can be pretty heavy trying out the quality of our little fishing boats. Or maybe its just to myself after discovering that this is not the end, this is fine. --- Where do you go? What do you do? I guess you don't have to think about that too much. Because life just keeps on happening; relationships, good dreams, bad dreams, beautiful days, days where you have to struggle to see the beauty in them, and you write songs about it."

    What an amazing album, I'm so annoyed at how critics have approached/underrated it. This video is great, it's fascinating getting a rare insight into his life.

      +Tom Gellatly isn't 7/10 pretty good? although in the end who gives a shit about the critics, that's all they're good for. this album was absolutely amazing, critics can't change that

    • @tomgellatly4593
      @tomgellatly4593 Před 8 lety

      +confism I dunno I think it's defo way better than a 7/10 album. And I obviously agree, I love the album almost as much as There's No Leaving Now, but it still annoys me

    The landscape is something else, makes me want to visit Sweden. Beautiful video and stunning music.I hope to see TMOE again some time in the future. Much love from the Emerald Isle.

    • @mrwaddlekirby
      @mrwaddlekirby Před 8 lety +2

      Well I live here in Sweden and it truly is the most beautiful country in the world.

    • @MsRhythmoflife1
      @MsRhythmoflife1 Před 8 lety +1

      I didn't mean my comment to be understood as competitive. Ireland sells itself, at least in tourism terms, on its greener than green landscapes.That is not the only type of landscape.I just wasn't aware of how utterly beautiful Swedish landscapes are, that's all!

    • @mrwaddlekirby
      @mrwaddlekirby Před 8 lety +2

      +M. Hannon Haha no sorry, I was only agreeing with you and telling you that Sweden really is beautiful

    For any poetry lovers out there, please check out the rich tradition of Swedish poetry. Begin with Transtromer, then travel back to Edith Sodergran, and be sure to check in with Bruno Oijer. I haven't read anything like them. My goal is to continue my education and translate more into English. I hope to visit that beautiful country one day, made more mysterious from the poetry born there.

    My friend and I have watched the album trailer hundreds of times, even after Dark Bird Is Home came out, and now we have a new obsession. This is a beautiful short documentary. This man and his music are just so incomprehensibly incredible.

    Those last lines remind me of "The Rhodora" and Emerson. A lot of pain and purity was surely put into this-- yet the album conveyed such courage and honesty. Beautiful.

    Oh, I so love this! You've captured so many feelings, ephemeral until now, I've dealt with over my life. It... this... really, it's this. It explains why I love the music here. Well, maybe not "explains" but "captures" is perhaps a better term. Still, when your songs come up on my playlist, and a friend says, "Why do you like this?" I can show them this video, and either they will understand, or... well, I guess I'll just feel bad for them? :-)
