Jacob Collier - Time To Rest Your Weary Head (Visualiser) 

Jacob reminds me of no other artist. He has touched my soul. I will never be the same. From a 70 year old.

I know he didn't, but he does seem like the kind of guy who would stand still for a day for a music video

if this isn't played at my funeral, i'm not attending

my dog passed away today, and after a day of grieving, i guess this peaceful lullaby was all i needed. I'll sleep well tonight. thank you.

Sorry Jacob, we weren't recording that take...back you go

The whole of Djesse Vol. 2 just gives me an overwhelming sense of peace and tranquility and I love it, it sounds like the end of the summer in an album

it's really nice to hear Jacob do something this sparse, with just the guitar and his voice. really beautiful

A 6 minute folk song, with no more than voice and guitar, has never passed so quickly..

imho, best song of his to date. i’ve heard so many people complain that his music lacks feeling and is just a massive show of complexity, but this is a beautifully simple and heartfelt song. calms me down no matter what.

I'm going to go ahead and say that this is probably the most tragically beautiful song I have heard in a long time...it has a sort of longing bittersweet-ness somewhere between a broken heart and a heart being put back together again, sort of helpless and lost but also whistful and certain and it's just so beautiful

Who is back here in 2020, finding peace and solace in the arms of Jacobs poetic/musical intimacy

R.I.P to my good friend rob, died at 25, but will never be forgotten, tell your homies u love them cause u never know

I played a piano recital and listen to this while having dinner in my hotel room... Jacob, this music is really amazing 😍

They say our planet is 4 billion years old. That we’ve been round for 150,000 more or less. Amidst all that chaos, the countless millions of us coming and going, all the toing and froing… isn’t it incredible that we were here when Paul McCartney and Jacob Collier were both alive at the same time.

My future daughter/son will grow up to this song. They will hear this masterpiece before they rest their weary heads, every single beautiful day of their little lives.

It's like Blackbird Goes Collier.

Even his music videos are noticeably Jacobian

[Verse 1] The time has come for me to tell you All  the things I really feel about you 'Cause  lately time's been moving on And every day we seem to grow a little older, too The more I think of you the less I seem To  know the way I feel about you And  all I think is all I know And all I know is all I want to think about is you [Verse 2] I  used to think I knew it all And that the love you gave was mine for keeping I guess I cared too much for you back then To see the simple magic of it all I  long to see the things we saw When we were young and could not see so clearly When all the world was just a blur of coloured lines That I'd trace most sincerely back to you [Pre-Chorus] And you'd say [Chorus] "Time to rest your weary head Take your wings and go to bed I know you want to know it all, my darling" And I'd say "Set me down and rock me Rock me to sleep" [Verse 3] I see the sparkle in your eyes You say I'm beautiful and I believe you And I will never feel more beautiful Than when I'm wide awake beside you I'll wander far and wide and wonder How it feels to fall in love with someone Without the need to show her everything I've learnt About the world since you've been gone [Pre-Chorus] And you'd say [Chorus] "Time to rest your weary head Take your wings and go to bed I know you want to show it all, my darling" And I'd say "Set me down and rock me Rock me to sleep" [Verse 4] There was a time it seemed the time itself Was free and would go on forever Wanted to cling to it but now I see Its fading is its greatest treasure, ooh [Pre-Chorus] And you would say [Chorus] "Time to rest my weary head Take my wings and go to bed I know you want to feel it all, my darling" And I'd say "Sit me down and rock me, oh Sit me down and rock me, oh darling Sit me down and rock me Rock me to sleep"

I'm so thankful with the universe, by the fact i'm alive in the same time that Jacob wrote this beautiful songs. It felt like a really personal song, so warm, wonderful and perfect. I don't believe that enough amount of words in this or any other lenguage can describe the emotions and thoughts that a song of this kind can bring to your( and mine too) soul, mind and heart. Thank you Jacob. You are magic and music.

I had a terrible day. Lots of bad things are happening in my life and I was about to sleep when i saw this. Stopped for s while as I did not recognize the song, and I'm glad I did. Somehow, this gives me the peace I needed. From the bottom of my heart, thank you so very much.

I had been talking to this girl since March 2019 and our feelings towards each other fluctuated up until early December. I had just broken up with a girlfriend of a month and so the girl I had been talking to and I started talking again. This song randomly popped up in my recommended and I couldn't think of anyone else but her. I started absolutely bawling my eyes out and in that moment I knew that she was the one and this whole time I had been blind to her affection towards me. This is now our song and we're celebrating 3 months next week. :)

Thank you Jacob, this song helped me fall asleep despite my nervousness and panic yesterday.

I still can't listen to this without crying. What a beautiful piece Jacob.

This is an answer to every type of music made just to sell itself, I see a soul in this, not just notes and a beat, we can see someone who wants to make some lifes better.

For my money, the most important influence behind this stunning masterpiece is the work of Joni Mitchell. The special guitar tuning. The vulnerable confessionality, new for Jacob. The craft. There are probably many ways to take this lyric, but for me the key is in the chorus, sung by and to a person who truly, really sees you, sees that those wings need rest and comfort from the effort of wanting to feel, to know, it all. That sounds like the Jacob I hear when I listen to his music.

One of the most magical songs on the new album.

I'm not sure how this person in North London has so effectively made me so nostalgic for growing up in the Midwest

Omg I was just about to go to sleep, thanks God I didn't

I don't know why, but this is exactly how I visualized Djesse vol.2 in my head - a dry, northern environment, lots of trees, montains, rivers, ect. Such a beautiful work of art, Jacob; you allow your music to be enjoyed from so many different sensatorial perspectives, which makes it a very special experience. Thank you, and greetings from Colombia.

Me and someone I cared for very deeply parted ways about a month ago. It’s made me very unsure of what the future holds or if I’ll even have a future worth living. You become so connected to the person you love that not having them around can make you feel lost, like the only thing you cared about is gone. This song makes me rethink that train of thought, because in it’s helplessness and tragedy, it’s unmistakably beautiful. With a sunset there must be a sunrise, when night comes it means day is right around the corner, although it may be dark now the light will soon come. There is always hope no matter how hopeless you feel. Whether you’ve lost somebody, been through a breakup, or just feel lost, there will always come a day when you feel better.

This needs a Mahogany Session!!!

This brings me to tears... it's uncanny how I feel like I was meant to hear these exact words at this very moment in my life

JC healing the world with his music!

That is some serious Zen you've got going on there.

I mean this is just unbelievable. It is unbelievable what Jacob is doing. No one else does this, or anything like this. Jacob is a transcendent musician of our time.

this is the first time i cried over how stressful college is and this was playing i'm now crying harder

What i take away from this video is, no matter if you stand and watch something, you wont understand the beauty in the moment. It is only the memory of the moment that causes you to realize what had actually happened. You can stand and stare at the earth like jacob in this video, but you will never realize the beauty of it all until you look back and see what truly happened.

In this song, Jacob reminds me a lot of Nick Drake, in the best way possible.

i wish jacob would talk more about his lyrics writing process. because, besides being a musical genius, his lyrics are very deep and beautiful. this is a masterpiece.

I feel grateful to breathe the same air as this man.

Presumably, the 48 people who gave this delightful song a thumbs down, are from the community of failed musicians, who can only stare open mouthed and defeated, at Jacob's warmth, talent and burgeoning popularity... nice one Jacob!

Yesterday my dog died, so while digging for my dog's place I shuffled my Spotify playlist and this played. So sensual feeling and emotional atmosphere while this song was playing.

Jacob is genuinely a genius. whether its as complex as the universe or as simple as the tip of a needle its beautiful whatever he does. that's true mastery

He is on a completely different level than other musicians his age. Beautiful.

I've stood in that exact same spot in Tuolumne Meadows after climbing Cathedral Peak. Jumped in the river and got bit by mosquitos! What a great day that this song brought me back to.

I was Listening to Jacob on Spotify and he decided to respond in turn.

This song is what made me feel calm and forget anything that feels uncomfortable to me (depression, stress, etc.). Also, whenever I feel down I listen to this song to know that I can be more than what I am. This song inspired me to create my own music as well. Btw, a beautiful song that is never to be forgotten 😊

Jacob could record song with Avi Kaplan

This year, in April, someone I fell in love with loved me too, for the first time in my life. While we chatted, I usually listened to this song. It made me feel so much along with how we talked. So pretty. Albeit being young (19 yo), it was the happiest I've been in my life. Sadly, it ended not much later, and now I cannot listen to it, because it takes me back to that moment, and makes me think of it and think and feel the loss of not having it anymore. I wish, I truly wish, I will be able to listen to it again, with another girl that decides to love me. I don't know when that's gonna be, but i know that when it happens, this song is gonna be played a lot on my phone.

This feels a bit like finding safe harbor in a utopia that rejects the rules of the past or the shackles of the present and instead embraces the uninhibited joy of creation and harmony instead of destruction and discord. It is medicine for a weary head in need of relief. A wonderful gift.

I wasn't ready to tear up, even after listening to this a number of times in the past. Your music is something that will never not be cherished by the world Jacob, thank you. Edit: I cried listening to it a second time.

Two solid months of listening and watching and learning from Jacob Collier videos.... I'm on sensory overload. I hope my heart will survive the next two albums. Jacob is an experience.

Of Jacob's many fine songs, this is my current favorite and the one I am often singing to myself

Jacob has broadened my life experience. Deepened my gratitude. Enriched my existence. Strengthened my hope. Carry on young traveler. Create. Thank you. 74 yrs. 38.9 million minutes. 🫶🏻 🌞

What a poignant way to end this album. Honestly one of the most simplistically beautiful songs I have ever heard. The whole album is stellar, but this stood out to me.

I'd really love to hear Jacob do an album of just one instrument and him singing. Maybe mix it up with some piano and guitar on different tracks... As amazing as all of his other stuff is, the vulnerability in this (and the solo piano stuff he did with Mahogany Sessions) is sooo powerful!

I am here after djesse vol. 3 is out and it’s great, but vol. 2 will always touch my heart so much deeper. I love the folkness, it is the most profound and vulnerable part of Jacob’s musical world

Legends say he’s still standing there...

Ever sat and watched the light fade from the day, until it all becomes black and white? That’s this song. Masterpiece.

YES! Finally managed to write this line. Fell asleep the past 467 times I listened to this song... So pure...

My most sincere respect and appreciation goes to you, Jacob. Thanks for showing the magic of life and being human through music 😊

every time im feeling scared, stressed, sad or generally unsure of what is going on, i always come to this song for comfort and to release the tears i've been fighting for so long.

This was perfect.

今日から賛美練習始めます。 2024/6/22(土曜日) 午後から🎹🎻

Ah, Jacob! The notes you find between the spaces strum very ancient strings in all of us. Thank you for uniting us through harmonic frequencies and showing us that love is infinite. Blessings.

It's amazing to see someone can soothe you with music and make you realize you're not alone with your emotions. It's an honor to be able to see the many forms of art created by this incredibly talented yet humble man. Lots of love to Jacob

"I'll wander far and wide and wonder How it feels to fall in love with someone Without the need to show her everything I've learnt About the world since you've been gone" God, that hits close to home. This may be the most tragically beautiful song I've ever heard. Usually I can get through stuff, but I can never get through this song when it comes on at the end of the album.

I found you and your beautiful songs just yesterday.. they are like the perfect soundtrack to a specific love storyline in my novels (work in progress). Just wanted to tell you that you reinforce spiritual entanglement for me. I could have written my Baximian listening to the song Make Me Cry. Thank you for being. You're a gift from the Else beyond. Thank you thank you

I think this is my favourite song of his until now. The intimate performance, the simple form, the touching lyrics and the beautiful chords. Thank you jacob for allowing us to experience this masterpiece. It's wonderful

Found this man today...and this song, is in my opinion, his best. It makes me nostalgic for something that hasn't happened

i am acually crying right now. this is his super power. he touches our souls being so pure, talanted and honest

Jacob, your music is so beautiful, you have touched my soul. I am going through an episode of depression due to my career being derailed by the pandemic, and all the uncertainty with it. But when I close my eyes and listen to your music, I feel that beauty is still in the world and life is worth living. Your music gives me the kind of strength few things give me in the world. I have enjoyed all your albums, many of your performances, and look forward to Djesse vol 4 and beyond. You are a gift to the world and I hope to see you in concert one day in better times ♥️

Saudade- the feeling i get from this song is the same as when i first heard "Something in the way she moves" by James Taylor. ✨ This is now my favorite song from Jacob.

To the person who introduced me this song. Thank you! 💗

I long to see the things we saw When we were young and could not see so clearly When all the world was just a blur of colored lines That I traced most and sailed it back to you Probs my favourite representation of loss of innocence to date

only when the song finished did i realise that I've been saying "WOW" out loud after every verse. beautiful

Recently, Jacob has been satisfying my folk-y music desires. It's like if Paul Simon, Nick Drake, Jose Gonzalez, James Taylor, and many more lent their super powers to one single soul. I love it so much.

I don't know for you but my heart broke the first time I listened to this song.. It feels so intimate and I feel like the intentions are for one special person... Anyway, such a beautiful song 🎶💕

It's in songs like this where Jacob is best, in my opinion. His beautiful ear for melody and progressive harmony shines in the simplistic context, and is not overshadowed by the, sometimes fun, sometimes too chaotic, cacophony of instruments and theory. This is truly beautiful, and shows what an extraordinary genius he is.

The song I never new I needed. From the bottom of my heart, Jacob, Thankyou ❤️

Jacob Collier. A beacon of light in an ever darkening world. Keep on inspiring us!

The most beautiful things in this world are things that are simple. Like this song.

There was probably a manikin same size as Jacob while filming the stop motion, they also took pictures of Jacob with different angles of light (probably after knowing where lights will be directed after filming the stop motion), and they fused them together with after effects.

i love this

*This is what I needed today.*

grieving for the memories that weren't there

How is it that the exact day I discover Jacob Collier and listen to his discography is the same day he releases the video to one of my new favorites of his? The timing is other worldly. Bravo, Jacob Collier!

Sometimes melodies carry narratives that resonate deeply. Sometimes in one listen you find something special. This is that for me.

as much as people focus on the harmony and structure of his music, i think we tend to forget the poetry that goes behind all of this

You made me cry, Jacob.

This song makes me wanna spend time in nature and then next to a fireplace with a scotch whiskey ❣️

It reminds me of some of the English/Scottish folk songs, Bert Jansch style and Nick Drake too. It is nice to hear this influence that Jacob is showing and his voice works well singing this style. Beautiful song.

My legs hurt watching

... and this masterpiece is not even close to Jacob's best works... That says a lot... What a talent. Thank you, JC. Thank you, Suzie.

You're trying to sleep... Trying to lay your head to rest Your mind is still moving... Running, wandering around... Around this Universe of ours... Ur FC from Thailand 🙏🇹🇭

Thanks for the peace. My head rests in your voice and music.

Love how the mix sounds very raw and organic it fits the vibe..

After listening to the lyrics carefully, it sounds like the song is written about his Mother or Grandmother. Initially I thought it was about a girlfriend or something, but the more I considered the lyrics, particularly the chorus, the less I thought it was. As impressive as his bombastic techno wizard stuff is (and it is) I'm very glad to hear him open things up and let some space in his music. Beautiful song.

This song feels like a warm hug. Incredible work Jacob

CLARITY hits differently when it comes after this.
