I am starting to worry that I’m becoming a bit repetitive with my blog content. However, it’s a grey and dreary Sunday, I’ve woken up with a gross sore throat and am still in my pyjamas. So there’s one thing for it: Kristian Mattson, aka. The Tallest Man on Earth.
I know I’ve blogged about him more than once – as one of the best gigs of 2011 and his new album – but he really is an artist that warrants this attention.
This is one of my favourite TMOE songs – live for Jools Holland.
Another Sunday song: Bon Iver‘s ‘Skinny Love’. Does it get better? It is literally achingly beautiful – by the end of this song, my chest feels heavier. Life feels more precious.
A worthy cover by Birdy. Surprisingly good. Testament to the strength of Justin Vernon‘s songwriting, or to Birdy’s performance?
B is for belt: the art of singing from the chest.
