The Tallest Man on Earth, The Gardener

Let me begin by saying that this artist is not in fact, the tallest man on earth. He's actually pretty short. But that's not really important.

This man is a poet. Plain and simple. He takes words and spins them into gold. This is made even more impressive when you realize that english isn't his first language. You'd never know it to listen to him though.

“The Gardener” was the first song I heard by Kristian Matsson, the swedish man often compared to Bob Dylan. I was immediately won over. His voice is perfect for folk music and his lyrical guitar playing is perfect for his voice. “The Gardener” tells a story without ever speaking plainly. The entire song is a metaphor and it's works wonderfully. I hope you agree.
