"I thought that this would last for a million years
But now I need to go
Oh, fuck"
The instrumental after seems like crying after being able to hold it through the whole song.
I will never be so deeply moved by any other artist.
I saw him play this live in Atlanta as the closer to his show. On the front row right beside me was a little girl, maybe seven or eight, who he had clearly seen. At the end of the song, he looks away from the crowd and says the "oh fuck" not into the mic I assume so as not to be too crass in front of this little girl. He plays the big instrumental finish and then hands her the pick he used instead of just tossing it into the crowd. After a night of being the troubadour, the vivid bright performer, he ended on a human and relateable impulse by taking time to be nice to a little girl.
Fuck, what a great observation, and a great fucking story. Thanks for sharing...
Man when all the instruments join in at 3:50 - gets me every time
a rare thing for The Tallest Man on Earth to use other instrument, I have always wondered how he would sound with other musicians.
In this time of sorrow in my personal life, I find comfort in this beauty.
Perfectly tuned, perfectly written, perfectly layed down and perfectly sung.
This is as close as any musician can get to absolute perfection.
Thank you, Kristian, your songs always help me through the hard times.
You're a gift from the heavens.
As a musician, what I get out of this music is there is no such thing as absolute perfection and striving for that is useless. I feel comforted about my own music in the same way you do about your life :) Have a nice day!
I just keep coming back here everyday
“When there’s no one on the bottom, you got there alone.”
Fuck
I thought this would last a thousand years...now I need to go...cue crazy instrumental moment (so good!)
Bobby Jo Valentine Don't forget the subtle "oh fuck!" :)
***** YEAH! That's the BEST!
*****
I think I've heard him curse in some live performances before but whats with the potty mouth all of a sudden?
Im definitely not bothered by it but just surprised
+msfattytroll Actually, from what I heard he didn't really write the fuck down, he was just so overcome by emotion during the song that he said it on the spur of the moment.
Might not be true but I kind of like the story.
+Bobby Jo Valentine Dude, Yesss!! I'm exactly on the same page. This is the best part of the song. When I heard this live I could barely take it, the hairs on the back of my neck were standing up. So fucking gooooood!!!!
that progression though....
This has been one of my husband's favorite songs for a long time, but it took on new meaning after we lost our daughter. Makes me cry and remember the happiness we had with her and how she'd want us to remember her for her life and not her death every time
Man. I’m so sorry for your loss. All the best. Xo h
The chord progression in stunning. And the whole song is such a beautiful metaphor about Kristian's style change and his growth not just like an amazing songwriter, but also as a man. Luckily this is not the end, this is fine. But I should say this is awesome. Can't wait to see Tallest live!
Andrea Bortolozzo Thats one way of interpreting it. But to me this is a break up song. I think the same with Sagres. The whole album is probably going to sound like a break up album to me.
View his trailer for the album for his theme, at least in part.
+alf gover It is
It sounds like death when he goes into the "I need to go" part. So delicate.
Beautiful closer to bring the curtain down on a stunning album. Speaks volumes that I love this song yet it doesn't make my top 5 songs from the album. Man's a genius.
"And so there were no higher mountains
It's all in your hand
Valley was a future sea
And now sail is the plan
And in this travel with no journey
I lose 'til I'm light
Letting go of mind to have
What I'm keeping now
[Chorus 1]
And suddenly the day gets you down
But this is not the end, no, this is fine
We're still the towers in the valley
Still winds down this dream
Still we're in the light of day
With our ghosts within
[Verse 2]
And there are many ways of sorrow
For just stepping out
Everyday a growling storm
But they're kind somehow
I fall in love but keep on falling
I held you for life
But letting go rope in hand
There’s just leaving now
[Chorus]
And suddenly the day gets you down
But this is not the end, no, this is fine
Still we're biking, laugh in memories
Still winds down the stream
Still we're in the light of day
With our ghosts within
[Verse 3]
And when there’s no one on the bottom
You got there alone
Kicking up some dust to see
Where a wind could blow
And all the ways to ride a lightning
I've used up a few
And I just want you to be safe
As I thunder through
[Chorus]
And suddenly the day gets you down
But this is not the end, no, this is fine
We're still the towers in the valley
Still winds down this dream
Still we're in the light of day
With our ghosts within
[Outro]
No, this is not the end and no final tears
That we need to show
I thought that this would last for a million years
But now I need to go
Oh, fuck"
Thanks for posting the words to this breathtaking song... I'm polishing up my b-friends brass door plates and this song is here in the moment on repeat... It's bliss
The "no this is fine" is just fabulous
I love everyone who comes here

Crying with anticipation for this album
Thank you Tall Dude!I love this song!!!The words have infinite meaning to me and I deeply appreciate all of your hard work.I'm adding this inspiring video to my Bald Monkeys music list...
Gosh...i can't stop to listen it
Sometimes the Blues is Just a Passing Bird
but now...
(The) Dark Bird is Home
Sounds like a metaphor for Kristians inner peace. Sometimes the blues is just a passing bird, but for some the bird will never leave.
Holy shit!
lo amooooo, lo amooo
As good as he's ever been. I absolutely cannot wait for this album to come out.
simply great..intense...emotional...
I prefer his old sound, but this is still good
All 10 tracks are "magnifika", can't wait to listen the album on vinyl when it arrives from the post :-)
Es como si Lou Reed tocara la guitarra en lo profundo de un bosque
meciendo un poema que Dylan susurra en el viento desde un valle entre montañas.
así de hermoso suena...
Cállate we
Come to India
He reminds me of Ralston Bowles. Very very pleasant:)
It sounds like being reborn when he goes into the"I need to go"part.Brilliant subtle crescendo...
Don't go..😢
My cat loves this song apparently
This is not the end
No, this is fine
Anyone know if he's still with Amanda Bergman (Idiot Wind) ? I'm curious.
Beautiful song, as always...
Thomas Bamber Oh... It's sad. I think this song is about that ...
+Amalric Nope. the whole album is about that, pretty much :(
+MsJinnifer thanks for pointing this out. You're an amazing person.
+TheSilentMountain thanks for pointing this out. You're an amazing person.
And when there's no one on the bottom, you got there alone...
please come to sziget festival this year!!!!!!!!!
+AlbiRicchi This was my exact thought of some months ago since I attended the festival this year. Too bad he didn't show up! I will probably see him live in Milan this October. Can't wait! :)
He's coming to Iowa City. Ima see that so hard.
Miguel Garcia
An ocean can't be dead.
i used to believe that there is no magic but this song that moment how not to?
How can 14 people dislike this ? :(
Somveer Balyan have you seen the short film they made about this album? It'll make you cry.
eaux claires!
3:44

“Dark Bird is Home” describes the last moments of a dying man, as he attempts to comfort his lover.
