Sometimes the Blues Is Just a Passing Bird is an EP by Swedish musician The Tallest Man on Earth. It was released on 6 September 2010 by Dead Oceans.
It marks one of Kristian Matsson's first incorporations of electric guitar sound, on "The Dreamer". "Like the Wheel" appears as a bonus track on his 2010 album The Wild Hunt, rewritten to include nothing but piano and vocals.
