Tallest Man On Earth, The - Over The Hills Lyrics






Well, I could hear it when the river's crying
And I could see it through the fog
And I could reach into magnetic fields, now
To steal a hammer and a gun
For heavy engine down
Yes, I will find a new
I'm going over the hills now
I'm going into the blue

And I will tell it to the mighty wind that
I have betrayed it once again
And I will listen to the backwards music
With a propeller in my hand
For every child in tears
I will throw down a hand
I'm going over the hills now
I'm going over as planned

And every morning I will push a button
And bring the sun above our head
And with a smiling face I drew upon it
I will consider it as sin
That every lie I tell
Will arrive like it's true
I'm going over the hills now
I'm going into the blue

Oh, honey!

And I will hijack every morning railroad
Perhaps I'll die upon that train
Perhaps I'll turn the wheel to slide it over
Into the long and narrow grade
And I would bounce the moon
On the earth if I could
I'm going over the hills now
I'm going over now for good

Tallest Man On Earth, The Over The Hills Comments
  1. c.... o....

    love this song so much...it speaks to a part deep hidden in myself..

  2. S.... O....

    I will always come back to this video, year after year. Kristian has put so much work into his music, and it's so special to see him at this earlier point as compared to where he is now.

  3. M.... M....

    Dylan legacy <3

  4. S.... V....

    <3 this man, when feeling awesome or down as fuck. His music makes me complete. X ty so much!

  5. J.... S....

    anyone else think he looks like a puppet with those skinny legs dangling round in the wind?

  6. E.... V....

    this song exceeds the defenition of brilliance.

  7. C.... ....

    Anyone happen to have tabbed this? or know where i could find a tab for this version?, also what tunings is it in? Amazing version of this song, 

    C.... ....

    @ChippyDinner idk if you haven't found it seven months later but this is a pretty accurate tab of this live version

  8. a.... k....

    Still lol

    a.... k....

    this is Senna in your profile pic?

  9. a.... k....

    Hundred times I have watch this still love it to bits.

  10. P.... p....

    This song is so underrated

  11. k.... s....

    Great lyrics. Love the sound of that guitar.
    I think he's got lots of potential.

    k.... s....

    you are obviously not aware of TTMOE i take it. You say he has "potential"... 2 EPs and 3 studio albums and he only has potential? I think its fair to say that he has surpassed any potential. 2 million views on YouTube and playing gigs all around the world is more than enough. 

    k.... s....

    He's not mainstream though. I build my opinion on the amount of views he has, and the number of his videos on Youtube. Plus, it was very hard to find TTMOE.
    I love this artist. I want to hear his songs on the radio!!!

    k.... s....

    Its a good thing that he's not mainstream... he's not manufactured or lacking control of his music in any way! And like i said 2 million views on his most popular video is quite an achievment. I love TTMOE but i wouldnt want him to be any more/less popular

    k.... s....

    True that. I don't want him to change at all. I hope that he keeps making truly great music. I will keep listening. It fills my soul with joy and happiness.

    k.... s....

    Agreed!!

  12. T.... P....

    hey everyone, please take a minute from browsing to check out my channel. Thank you, your support is greatly appreciated

    T.... P....

    I know this comment is 5 years old but i thought it was weird how similar our profile pictures are.

  13. J.... S....

    lol he's way out of their league

  14. P.... A....

    yeah dude....u sound real "straight"

    P.... A....

    Hey, you know where straight ends? You know where circles end?

  15. A.... ....

    DakotaaaaaZ!

  16. P.... S....

    If I saw him performing on the some random street, I'd give him my wallet

    P.... S....

    i'd give him my fucking credit card dude

  17. a.... ....

    they toured together...

  18. N.... K....

    7 people live in a cave

  19. T.... M....

    The 7 people that disliked this video couldn't hear over the wind

  20. R.... A....

    i think that's exactly the combination we need. would be bliss.

  21. R.... R....

    An incredible and beautiful talent. Our own Dylan for this era! Only discovered TMOE at the end of 2012 and have sat mesmerized checking his stuff out ever since. Hope to God he plays London some time in 2013.

  22. M.... M....

    This is so accurate.

  23. T.... D....

    This man is so musically talented its not even funny his picking patterns are incredible

  24. K.... M....

    I hope im not gay.

  25. t.... ....

    as amazing as I think both are in their own respect, I doubt their music would blend well...

    a barrage of fiery emotion running wild + abstract dreams floating on a bed of fluffy sounds = ???

  26. n.... r....

    I think they played in a concert in new york together

  27. T.... H....

    They actually did a tour together back in 2008 i think

  28. A.... B....

    music in its purest form.

  29. R.... H....

    This man is my favorite person ever.

  30. T.... ....

    i know. i guess it's just the type of sound to me sort of. both great.

  31. J.... R....

    Hipster level 100000 unlocked

  32. e.... ....

    That is exactly what i was doing this evening... so relaxing. :)

  33. J.... A....

    The world is not ready for that, not yet.

  34. R.... P....

    Fuck I love this man.

  35. J.... E....

    A half an hour?

  36. L.... ....

    2:35 - Smoke much? ;)

  37. T.... ....

    so i just discovered this guy.....wonderful! reminds me of mumford and sons

  38. d.... ....

    sep 5th i shall finally see him live!!

  39. H.... M....

    Indeed. I can't stand Bon Iver... but there are plenty of folks that see something in their stuff.

  40. C.... C....

    i suppose. to each their own

  41. H.... M....

    Everyone is entitled to an opinion. I think he's great.

  42. C.... C....

    black and white acoustic guitar solos are yucky and i don't like his timbre its insincere.

  43. W.... ....

    This must be what heaven feels like...

  44. b.... ....

    Reminds me of my uncle when he was in his 20s

  45. 1.... ....

    Why would i have commented on it if i didn't know who he is ??
    I simply hear no resemblence

  46. S.... ....

    do you know who im talking about even? and i just mean in voice

  47. T.... ....

    This guy is Bob Dylan'ing hard and that's a compliment.

  48. 1.... ....

    I respectfully disagree.
    Both are awesome, but i'm not following you here ??

  49. t.... ....

    2:47 That is all.

  50. f.... ....

    I'm a straight guy and I'd let him do stuff to me. You know, paint my nails, cut my hair, deep-tissue massage; stuff like that.

  51. E.... ....

    if you pretend that he's standing instead of sitting, he looks like a mini man

  52. F.... S....

    Best version ever!!!

  53. F.... S....

    Actually he was in first part of Bon Iver concert at a time!

  54. I.... F....

    Vice versa

  55. m.... ....

    Guys, meet my future husband,

  56. M.... S....

    Bon Iver has nothing on Matsson.

  57. S.... ....

    sounds like paolo nutini

  58. L.... F....

    I like this song way too much.

  59. R.... S....

    oh god, you can just see his face when he's creating amazing music

  60. A.... S....

    @kvsuprise Never thaught of it, but hell yeah!

  61. u.... ....

    @kvsuprise hmm I really love Bon Iver and Tallest Man On Earth, but I don't think that collab would work out well. I much rather see him do one with Laura Marling. AND most of all: Fleet Foxes plus Leisure Society! :)

  62. d.... ....

    Forget collabs. TTMOE's sound is perfect the way it is.

  63. N.... W....

    @kvrurprise kristian actually toured with bon iver in 08 for a while, you could even go as far as to say he got his start with bon iver

  64. j.... ....

    If he and Samantha Crain would collab that would be awesome

  65. j.... ....

    Just look at how he sings with his eyes, he becomes the music. He moves with the music, as if for a while he is stripped bare, and there is nothing but a wash of invisible. He is the music; the music is him. It runs through his veins with such passion.

  66. V.... R....

    kinda looks like Matt Damon

  67. I.... R....

    @LaylaGitan
    I wish so too!

  68. R.... C....

    marry me.

  69. O.... B....

    @alexoxx nah

  70. G.... ....

    Did this song develop into "The Sparrow and the Medicine"? It certainly sounds fairly similar.

    G.... ....

    i heard that too

  71. N.... E....

    @alexoxx GET OUT!

  72. A.... P....

    I absolutely love his music. I really wish he would lost the stache though!

  73. A.... R....

    Powerful

  74. J.... S....

    where did you find this video? i need more live versions of his songs like this

  75. L.... G....

    I wish to Christ he'd come to Atlanta, Georgia. He's amazing.

  76. D.... A....

    @maximus50238 the first ep! it's self-titled.

  77. m.... ....

    definitely just found the next song i wanna cover. haha what album is this song on? i only have shallow grave

  78. T.... W....

    Thank you for uploading this :) cheers, Finn!
