Cover art for 1904 lyrics by Tallest Man on Earth, The

I love this song and the entire album in general. I think that Kristian is an absolute musical genius, one of the best artists I've ever listened to. When i first listened to the album, it was like, whoa, this is different but still amazing. The sound is a lot fuller, but instead of making the simplicity of his earlier songs go away, it just adds variety to his music. You can still hear that classic Kristian Matsson style, which i love, even though there's more instrumental variety.

First verse of 1904 makes me sad, reminds me of an old person everyone thinks is going crazy. Like how "sometimes noise is just your mind." Its as if someone's being told it's not funny, but they're actually serious, not trying to be funny. They are being told as they get older their mind isn't working the same as it did when they were younger (in line with the aging) It just makes me sad to think about it, an older person being treated like they're insane when really they are thinking about the past, or whatever this person is doing. 1904 earthquake theory is interesting, never thought of that but it makes sense.
