APC40 MKII & Ableton Live Performance - Nothing Is Forever 

Wow, getting chills on this performance. As an electronic musician I can confirm that a lot of people don't understand "what you're doing" on stage. Some assume it's incredibly complicated; others believe you're not doing anything. The truth is somewhere in the middle - it's a live performance like any other, the tools are instruments like other instruments, and different performers can take wildly different angles to being on stage. Singing live really helps convey the talent and you have a great voice. But what I see most as a musician myself is your incredible control over the structure and pacing, singing and multitasking while managing a ton of layers and events to build the bigger picture of song structure. In other words, you crushed it, and that's why everyone with ears and eyes is gonna enjoy this one :)

Thanks everybody for your amazing and inspiring comments! I am CHUFFED working on another video right now! lots of love Rachel xxx

I was looking for this song from my adolescence, I forgot the name and I finally had it saved on my channel a long time ago, I remember my childhood again. Thank you for making this song. I was born deaf and I have a cochlear implant that allows me to hear and I listen to your music

I've been playing music for 50 years and I can't even come close to what this lady is doing here. Loads of samples, loops and synth sounds to create this piece of music. You have my respect Rachel.

Binge listening to this during quarantine and a nervous system condition which has forced me to walk with a walker for the past 8 months of my life... Thank God "Nothing is Forever!". God bless you Rachel. 🙏😇❤️👍👏

Just clicked on this at random and my jaw is on the floor. That was really good!

takes a lot of work to create somethin like this. It's not just press button music. There are lyrics to write, chord patterns, melody lines, riffs, vocal parts, hooks, tweaks, automation, timing. And then there are all those pads that need to be pushed at the correct moment. Call it press button music if you want, see if u can come up with something like this.

10/10. Incredible, this sound is on the same level of professionals. This amazing sound and vocals reminds me of 90's dance music. Flawless.

Wow.. Just stumbled onto this an I have to say I'm very impressed! Killer song!

Your song saved my day. The truth of your words is being revealed once experienced by ourselves. Perfectly matching. Thanks so much.

Fantastic music, amazing beats, incredible voice !!! You're a talented artist !!!

Perfect combination of: lovely voice, creative in sounds and samples and Ableton live&apc 40 mkII , love it❤️🎧🎹🎶

Thank you everyone for your continued support and lovely lovely comments! Making lots more videos don't worry- NEXT RELEASE 9th SEP- Look out for it :) and find me on Spotify xxx

Absolutely flawless music, i am almost 50 and wish this equipment had existed when i was young. ...Back then I had to settle for a pair of 1210's and a mixer. Rachel and Neon Vines should co-op on something sometime. Great work ms. collier.

I've been listening to this song for years. And today, seven times ... The voice and melody fascinates me.

Watching some of your older videos Rachel. Really impressive 7 years ago.

one of my favorites Live-Performances ever seen & here !! great voice

Amazing skills- I'm teaching myself Ableton now at the age of 45 and having had a long history of DJ'ing, and having bought an MPK mini, am researching the best controller for live sessions so came across this vid. This would have taken some serious dedication to create so big kudos to you for that. Fantastic voice too! Keep up the good work =)

Love the words in the song, and everything around it.

Dem hairs Dem tank Dem jewelry Dem voice Dem passion Dem multitasking Dem message Love dem whole package Keep up dem good work!

Wow. feel of a classic trance.. beautiful

i’m a super huge fan of electronic music and this is a song i can see myself cranking in the whip. beautiful 💯

Rachel, this is my favorite of yours. This has a great vibe and your mix is very much on point. I really believe you'll be picked up on tour with someone and with a good contract down the road. Yep, you're that good. Keep doing your thing.

Rachel it's a true joy watching/listening to you do your thing. You're very connected and in touch with the music you are making. AND you sing live in these performances which is amazing. Your videos are full of passion, so keep up the good work! Also this is my favorite song of yours !

You are a genuinely gifted... a natural artist. Honestly blown away with this performance. Why are you not famous... wait did I miss the party? ARE YOU FAMOUS!?

I forgot that nothing is forever then I ended up in hospital, I lost that little I had. I 've had severely debilitating multiple sclerosis for 3 years now and I am mostly bed ridden. I thought about your song a lot, I wish I had been more present in my beautiful life instead of being in my head. That little I had was pure gold!

I've never seen anything so embedded. Your voice and yours actions are perfectly well done! I've been started my works and this channel recently. Love your work, love your performance, love your track, love you. Keep going. Well done!
