Top 25 The Tallest Man On Earth Songs

I'm seeing The Tallest Man On Earth live tomorrow night (in a concert originally scheduled for 2020, but here we are). He's one of my all-time favorites, so to mark the occasion here's my attempt to rank his 25 best songs. Also included a particularly great lyric from each. This was tough, as his discography is absurdly consistent and high-quality, and a lot of songs have serious personal meaning to me, but here goes!
25The Tallest Man on Earth
Sometimes The Blues Is Just A Passing Bird

Like The Wheel

Oh I wish I was the sparrow in your kid's eye,
That could fly above this summer all day long
24The Tallest Man on Earth
Shallow Grave

Where Do My Bluebird Fly

And when you find the voice and gears of sunset,
We'll hear that high and lonesome sound
23The Tallest Man on Earth
I Love You. It's a Fever Dream.

There's A Girl

There's a song that tells me what to do,
But I won't listen
22The Tallest Man on Earth
Dark Bird Is Home

Sagres

We were travelers so blind,
Went to where the world did end
21The Tallest Man on Earth
The Wild Hunt

Thousand Ways

Because I'll always be blamed for the sun going down with us all,
But I'm the light in the middle of every man's fall
20The Tallest Man on Earth
I Love You. It's a Fever Dream.

I Love You. It's A Fever Dream.

Since I've been gone they changed the sunset time
19The Tallest Man on Earth
There's No Leaving Now

Revelation Blues

I always want to bring you something,
But sometimes it's just roses dying too young
18The Tallest Man on Earth
The Wild Hunt

Love Is All

Well I walk upon the river like it's easier than land
17The Tallest Man on Earth
The Wild Hunt

Troubles Will Be Gone

And now the day is slowly setting and the lights on where you're sleeping,
So I hope somewhere the troubles will be gone
16The Tallest Man on Earth
There's No Leaving Now

Leading Me Now

But we will end up somehow with a peaceful mind,
And you're leading me now
15The Tallest Man on Earth
Dark Bird Is Home

Darkness Of The Dream

I met this girl from my old town,
But sadly she could see,
I'm still a bunch of memories and shit that I believe
14The Tallest Man on Earth
Shallow Grave

I Won't Be Found

I make reflections as the moon shine,
Turn to a villain as I rest
13The Tallest Man on Earth
Shallow Grave

The Sparrow And The Medicine

Never know when you're behind that angle,
With a tranquilizer gun in your sweet pair
12The Tallest Man on Earth
Dark Bird Is Home

Dark Bird Is Home

And suddenly the day gets you down,
But this is not the end, no, this is fine
11The Tallest Man on Earth
I Love You. It's a Fever Dream.

What I've Been Kicking Around

Then get some rest upon the yard,
Where so many years of leaves did fall,
Like a bed of all that's been
10The Tallest Man on Earth
The Wild Hunt

The Wild Hunt

And I will sleep out in the glade just by the giant tree,
To be closer as my spirit's pulled away
9The Tallest Man on Earth
Sometimes The Blues Is Just A Passing Bird

Thrown Right At Me

And we live so close that we've probably seen,
The same bird, the same time,
They solemnly scream
8The Tallest Man on Earth
I Love You. It's a Fever Dream.

Hotel Bar

The end of the night, I hum along,
The driver's turning up the dancey song,
How many heartaches in this car, I wonder?
7The Tallest Man on Earth
The Wild Hunt

A Lion's Heart

And on that day there was snowfall, in the street, yellow light,
And they cleared the bill and rails just by those dark shimmer eyes
6The Tallest Man on Earth
Shallow Grave

Into The Stream

The limousine will be parked outside in the street,
For us to throw into the stream
5The Tallest Man on Earth
There's No Leaving Now

1904

And when the night is young but the bridge is up,
Something passing by our shore
4The Tallest Man on Earth
Shallow Grave

Pistol Dreams

The colors of the water streams been floatin' through our pistol dreams a long time,
And I never went to see the fall before the barrel builder call
3The Tallest Man on Earth
The Wild Hunt

Kids On The Run

No, we have never grown a day from the poison we shared
2The Tallest Man on Earth
The Wild Hunt

Burden Of Tomorrow

Rumor has it that I wasn't born,
I just walked in frosty 'morn,
Into the vision of some vacant mind
1The Tallest Man on Earth
There's No Leaving Now

Criminals

But that summer was strung with some mighty thread,
And no law would never wait around no bend
