He said he composed this in 6 hours, just before his flight for the recording session with the orchestra. He got a grammy for it. Think about that.

@mikec8116 Год назад

As awesome as the orchestra is, I wish they had more time to rehearse before recording this. The saxophone riffs were extremely challenging.

Iirc he talked about arranging the orchestra not composing the whole thing, impressive nonetheless

I think Jacob has lots of brilliant ideas popping out his mind all the time, looks like organizing it into a phenomenal piece of music may be the hardest task for him.

When I first discovered Jacob, I was stung by a sort of jealousy as well. Then I was able to channel that into inspiration to play around more with sound, tonality, especially once I saw how he shares his methodologies for everyone with videos like the one he did breaking down his process for doing Moon River. His cards are on full display-the guy really cares, and wants everyone to enjoy music as much as he does. I started playing music in earnest in 1980, and have never been anywhere close to as blown away and inspired by someone as Jacob. Absolute unicorn.

You don't even notice when that beat comes back because he sneaks it back in a little at a time in little teasing fragments. SO GOOD.

JC's music is real sensory overload when you first listen to it.

@benjamingardner3314 Год назад

Jacob Collier broke through the typically unlistenable gym playlist I use to have to endure as a trainer, completely disrupted my day. The one with Tori Kelly, "It don't matter" I believe it's called. So I found the song, found the artist, went home later and played it along with other songs from the album while I was making dinner. It was like seeing the sun for the first time. I could not describe how good and broad and positive his music is, I've never heard anything close. I was formerly a music major, and lamented that music in the world outside of my head is rarely as good as I think it could be, but also lacking in the ability to ever generate it myself. Hearing him was hearing not only that imagined music, but done even better than I thought possible.

But emotionally you are so honest and generous. I feel such joy with Jacob's music and watching your reactions I have someone to share that experience along with me. Wonderful John, absolutely wonderful. FYI: in case you didn't know this truly was a Jacob effort on every level. Arrangement, vocal harmonies, orchestration, he did the entire video himself at home and his astounding Jacob vision. I do feel blessed to be around and hear what this still quite young man is giving us musically. Thanks so much for this reaction. Oh and this did win a Grammy.

@m.dave2141 Год назад

I think there is a big stigma against maximalism in music, many people think that making music in this style is just trying to impress and that it lacks emotion, but it is completely false, both maximalism and minimalism and everything in between can be good or bad. I think the stigma exists because many who start playing instruments or compossing make the false equivalence of faster/ more notes = better, but the fact that this is not true does not make the opposite true either, it is a logical failure of a large part of the music community unfortunately. A lot of Jacob's songs fall into this kind of maximalist style so a lot of people are just going to hate his music, that just how things are sadly (at least how i see it).

@anderslundqvist3402 Год назад

I'm not very musical in terms of what I am able to produce myself. But emotionally I am totally blown away by JC. Yes it's very complex, but in the same way that a plate of food is far beyond what you can cook yourself, you can still enjoy it fully.

@c.l.368 Год назад

@@m.dave2141 I'm afraid the real reason why that "stigma" exists is much more sad... The hard truth is that music is just sound patterns, but not everybody's (in fact, most people's) musical pattern recognition abilities are good enough to decipher music as complex as Collier's. That's why most people don't enjoy fusion jazz or prog metal. I remember when I was young and I started being able to listen to more complex stuff. There was a developmental phase in which, slowly, music that I couldn't comprehend before, music of which my subjective experience could be described as a sort of jumbled gibberish, started to reveal itself to me. I began to recognise the beginnings and ends of rhythmical cycles, and to listen to everything in relation to this framework. Harmonies that previously sounded horribly dissonant and out of place now became beautiful as I was able to experience the relationship between the tones. Be it a matter of nature or nurture, the truth is most people can't enjoy complex music because they can't understand it. Like "reading a book in another language" kind of not understanding. It's not a matter of stigma or preference; it's a matter of cognitive musical ability.

@nagolici3206 6 месяцев назад

@@c.l.368 well i cant really agree with that statement, that people dont understand complex music and therefore cant enjoy it. this could lead to lengthy debate but let me draw just one comparison. who is usually more happy, someone who constantly jumps around in life, who has very complex life, 1000 things going at the same time, or someone who found his peace, can enjoy easy, slow, calm life? look at spiritual people, they tend to be more happy than the first example i described. beauty is usually not in some high complex (abstract) things, and same i believe is with music. i can give one more, more real example from my life. i live in a country where certain folk music is very popular. i even play an instrument which is most typical. i do know how to play above average complex music and even like to listen to it, but at the end of the day for me and for the most others certain authors from the past (pioners) are just unbeatable. they just got the balance between simplicity and complexity right, and i dont imagine anyone will ever beat them in this genre. so increasing complexity doesn't increase beauty, it just doesn't make sense. its not in our nature to go with that logic. i admit jacob collier is crazy and extremely talented, but that doesnt make music beautiful. its interesting, but its over the top for me. to close this speaking to myself with fun fact, type this into google: most played instrumental song in the world. i wonder if you get the same answer as me (i get the answer for our folk music i mentioned)

@c.l.368 6 месяцев назад

@@nagolici3206 My point is not that complex music is better. It's not better or worse. It's just complex. My point is that most people don't understand complex music, and thus couldn't possibly enjoy it. It's like reading a book. If you read a book in a language you don't understand, you won't enjoy its contents. There's music which is complex enough that, for the untrained ear, it's like reading a book in a different language. Take time signatures for example. There's not very much music in 11/8. Thus most people haven't been exposed to that rhythm. Thus, when they hear music in 11/8 they can't make sense of the rhythm. Thus, they can't enjoy it, or at the very least it's unlikely they will. I don't see how you could possibly disagree with this statement.

@BonnieFordyce-ie7ui Год назад

I'm not a musician but I can hardly listen to Jacob Collier sometimes because the sounds surprise me in such delightful, unexpected bodily ways I can't stop laughing. I loved hearing how his music threw you, someone so experienced with music, off into these places as well.

@fileundervalued Год назад

Beyond the sheer command over his voice, his playing, his arranging...imagine having to mix a session with close to 1,000 tracks and making it sound that amazing. Not sure what planet he is from, but I'm glad he's been here for a bit.

@BrassThunder Год назад

As a 63 year old Musician (Lead Trumpet) and Sing (Bass) hitting those feelings is really what we strive to do in the first place. Some like Jacob Collier, it just comes maybe a little too easy. Which as you attested can make those of us that have to work harder at it get frustrated. But all said and done you conveyed exactly what it represents that sometimes all we can do is listen in awe and just watch and feel the artistry happen. No words are necessary.

@jenniferspring8741 2 месяца назад

As far as I can tell from his interviews, he’s simply reaching out with everything he’s got, to explore music and instruments and anywhere else his creativity takes him. He is not trying to illicit emotions in his listeners. Certainly he’s hoping the music makes them as happy as he obviously is.

@edildawen Год назад

Many times I say to myself it's a very good thing that Jacob seems to be such a generous and happy person. Because, you are quite right when you talk about his "emotion joystick". If Jacob happened to be sad or depressed, I think it would be a real danger for many people , isn't it ? And maybe that's the reason why he causes a kind of "Salieri effect" on many musicians, that is not really jealousy, but a feeling of willy-nilly loosing control of our emotions, as we confusedly thought we knew how it works (true, but at a poor level compared to his science). Jacob is the musician's musician. The tables have turned. I'm not at all a fanatic person. But there is something a little like a "Christ figure" in the fact that Jacob brings a message in the world of music : everything is now possible, just do it. As a musician myself, I play more freely after a Jacob's song, experiment or masterclass, even if I don't really understand the whole thing. Sure newbies and masters do feel something like this, and you, John, feel this potential because you're so sentitive, don't you ?). Jacob makes us see the abyss of creation, and at the same time, he demonstrates gates, bridges, tunnels, wings, to go through it. This guy is just a young boy nobody ever told anything is hard or impossible. A happy few with a good brain. He is nearly a kind of social experiment that seems to demonstrate how much the context can bend a human being to the extreme.

I think the thing that a lot of us don’t understand is, this is ALL he does, he was brought up with incredible musicians, his mother taught him perfect pitch, his father was also great musician, from what I know he is very devoted to music, that combined with the way he was raised made what he is, this is what a boundless person looks like and sounds like. It’s incredible, but also I feel it’s reachable to anyone if we breakout of the boxes we are put in, as soon as we pick up an instrument, voice included, discovering Jacob, has opened up my mind to what it means to be a musician, and yet I know exactly what holds me back from this potential.

@@osovagabundo1 Agreed! I thought that version of Runaway was so captivating as well.

I would love to see John’s reaction to some Aurora as well! Agree with the Murder Song Nobel Prize suggestion. Also, “Warrior (Live at HAIK)”

It is said that humanity is in a wave of gaining greater consciousness. Seeing this video, I believe it.

One of the most insane music videos of all time… Loved the analysis and heartfelt reaction x John, I wonder if you have yet listened/reacted to Jonah Nilsson (friend of Jacob’s) and his band Dirty Loops? Jonah is a phenomenal singer too and features in two collaborations with Jacob: one an onstage jam at Montreux, singing and playing ‘Do I Do’, the other a completely insane collaboration on Jonah’s solo album called ‘Independent Girl’ :) For a good way to start the Dirty Loops journey, I recommend listening to their song “Next to You” (link below). A reaction/analysis would be awesome, since Jonah’s voice is very special. And so is the playing from his two band members ⭐️⭐️⭐️ Living in hope ;) 🙏

He ( expertly ) plays the bass, the drums, all the percussions, the piano, he arranges, composes, sings, is there anything this musical genius can´t do ? And yes, there are Quincy Jones, Steve Vai and many others in that Video. And of course, he got a Grammy for this Masterpiece. And he is still so young, we still have a lot to expect in the future from this phenomenon called Jacob Collier.

I'm so glad I found this reaction, the algorithm sometimes gets it right, you seem to share the same...?physical reaction that I've seen a lot of us sure. I'm just not sure where that comes from, I feel like his music is pure distilled EMPATHY, I just can't explain why... I see some comments say this but REALLY check out the Mahogany Session performance of his original song Little Blue, that little video contains entire universes. On the day of filming it he put out a call on his Instagram for any and all singers available that day to come over to the church they were filming in and they all learned the song that day and sung it WITH HIM, he conducts them like a choir like he does his audiences, you simply NEED to check it out, if not for a reaction video, at least for yourself. EVERYBODY needs to experience what he's achieved there...

Thanks, John. Jacob's music affects me the same way.

Hi John, pardon my english. I really enjoy seeing your reactions to the extraordinary skill of Jacob and I understand how you feel. Each note, despite the complexity of his arrangements, is at the right point and without ever losing its freshness. It's the closest thing to perfection I've ever heard, at least among contemporaries. PS: did you know that the lady with the violin at 6:57 is Jacob's mom? :)

Yes… Too Happy! That’s a great insight: He has the joystick consoling our emotions!🎉

Yeah I pretty much cry with happiness, hope and joy every time I hear this, powerful stuff.

@fredherfst8148 8 месяцев назад

The tempo never changes throughout Heard this piece uncountable times now and this time I focused on the tempo. Also heard new stuff I hadn't heard before. Worth 2 Grammies, not just one!

the guy is a musical genius. John when I first heard his work from an audience in England, I'm not ashamded to say, I cried. His playing and harmonies are what jazz players used to say, "He plays in the cracks."
