One of the best part is that almost nobody is filming this with their phone and just listen and enjoying one of the most incredible moments of their life. Thanks jacob!
THIS. I saw a photo once of a crowd of people with their phones out, recording what was going on, but there was one person standing there without their phone - smiling ear to ear. The caption read: “I didn’t record the moment…I LIVED it.”
I'm an atheist. But when you untap humanity like this its like listening to the divine and brings the words 'Sing unto the lord' a sense of meaning. Maybe there is truly a touch of the divine in us all.
Yes but I can tell all those weird people with main character syndrome actively trying to disrupt it. At least here, he has more control of the audience
Dan Deacon did this at one of the best concerts I've attended, too. Not the audience choir, but audience dance-off and other fun things besides. The best kind of shows are when something connects everybody in unexpected ways
This makes me cry every time I see it. Not only because I'm moved so deeply by music, especially the gathering of human voices - but because this is a room of people from all walks of life, who - for a brief moment - all differences are put aside and they all speak the same language. This is the way I wish the world was.
I want to go to one of these, I’d end up a blabbering wreck. There is nothing more moving and uplifting when a huge amount of people get together to sing in harmony, personally I feel the oneness of us all, when I listen. Life can be more beautiful than we live it. Just love. ❤️
I too would be blubbering my eyeballs out, truly a remarkable thing to hear just on UA-cam, but experiencing it in the real must be like connecting to the greater universe
When and where did people sing together? In churches, at home before the age of distraction and before the age of entertainment, at pubs, and in choirs. Before recordings, often. Singing is embedded in our nature. It’s our very breath, our human heart expressed in natural nuance, our longing for union with each other, for belonging, for us. In this era of extreme individuation we long for what is missing - us. Thank you Jacob and Suzie for understanding how important we are.
Oh, It's not completely forgotten here in my little Ca. town I get together weekly with a large group of folks in what we call the Love Choir to sing old Hippie and Folk Songs......definitely unifying and healthy....🤩
This is how god intended it. For us to come together. It has nothing to do with frequency, it has everything to do with souls coming together and singing. Repent and be saved.
The higher vocies are producing overtones, aka unsung voices. In America, "drum corps" are the best of the older high school and younger college brass instrument players, and drum corps very often produce INSANE overtones. The more in tune the performance is, the more the overtones appear.
Mais tous les publics du monde font ça. Il n'y a pas qu'à Londres. Bobby McFerrin fait chanter ainsi des millions de gens et Jacob passe au niveau supérieur, voilà tout ;) J'ai conscience que ce "voilà tout" est asséné brutalement, mais ce choeur parfait n'est-il pas la preuve, elle aussi brutale, que le chant et la musique sont inscrits dans le patrimoine génétique de l'être humain. On touche à la foi littéralement. C'est fabuleux.
i love how every once in a while you catch the tone of a single voice that stands out but not in a bad way, it's just a lovely touch of one person for a moment
This is what he meant. ua-cam.com/video/VMIAoQmJqYk/v-deo.html "And Djesse vol.4 is this, like sort of reemergence of distance, where the listener is actually music themselves. But, that's a secret I can't talk about it yet." WE ARE VOLUME 4.
First off, I can't reconcile what we could be with what we are. I've watched this so many times over the past weeks, and I can't help but think of the Jor-El quote from the '78 Superman: "They can be a great people, Kal-El, they wish to be. They only lack the light to show the way." We, as a species, are so very capable of coming together, and yet it breaks my heart that we simply choose not to. At the same time, I am grateful for this clip, for it reminds me that all hope is not lost, as buried as it may be.
His absolutely unique ability to make people grow higher they probably ever dreamt of (imagine you never really sang a lot in your live and he makes you sound like a professional choir) bring me to instant tears. The world needs more of that.
I mean, people are not going above their abilities, it's just mass. So many people together normalize. That's why choirs do not need top singers in them to sound good.
This is Incredible. The way he incorporates you personally in the audience and invites you to join as a live choir is so empowering. It takes the experience from listener to active participant. How beautiful is that!! To be so connected as one, truly beautiful and breathtaking to see even from my tiny computer screen. Respect.
0:17 - you know Jacob is a musician's musician when the crowd gets both the downward and upward intervals correct without being given the pitches... gotta love it haha.
I sang in a church choir for a short time for a Christian drug rehab facility. We toured a few churches and that was it. But me and another guy requested standing in the center of the choir, singing in harmony ourselves and hopefully encouraging others to pull in wherever they fit in. It worked. We rocked the house, standing ovations each night we performed. As anyone who has performed successfully can tell, it was mind-blowing. The guy's name was Sam. He was a powerhouse in his own right. Many others were as well. No one in the choir looked glum in the least after the performances. I hope I remember it always. (Back then I thought it might have been the Holy Spirit that was part of it but now I know that this is just what the human creature does. We understand the music and we play what instruments and what notes we know.)
Watching this at Christmas is one of the last memories i have with my sister. I waited until Christmas eve this year to watch it and cried. I will see you in paradise, Rachel!
Most of those ASMR vids do nothing for me. But one of my favorite songs can usually do it for me. I get a bit of that feeling here. But I get more of a "grinning like a madman" vibe I'm so happy.
Eh there are in a major scale and the movements work psychologically to let you know to go up or down one note. The audience knows what the note higher or lower is since it's a western audience and the major scale is imbedded in our brains.
@@rist98 It is very easy though, transcribe it with you ear. He sings the first 2 notes while gesturing thereby informing the audience that his arm movements represent the signal of a second. Then he will move their voices up and down a bit to then leave them hanging on a dissonant. Then he moves to the next group that he will lead to resolve that dissonance. It's pretty basic stuff. You could make children do it.
@@rist98 He did it in 31 cities across North America, and then the European tour. According to some of the attendees, they were not all at this level, but the point of this is partly crowd dynamics (converging on the "right" pitch). Fairly sure you can do this with any sufficiently large crowd.
If we could get the entire world on-board with this kind of harmony, cooperation, and love, we would have Heaven on Earth. Jacob Collier is truly a Divine Messenger, bringing Love and Harmony to the world, once concert at a time. Keep an eye on this guy--he's going places!!!
Man this fucked me up I did not expect to have such an emotional reaction to this, I started crying like 20 seconds in and was in tears the while video. Holy crap
Vous êtes sensible à ça parce que vous êtes capable comme ces gens de le faire. Il faut accepter cet état de fait : l'être humain est conçu pour chanter; il a le package dans les gènes. Mais nos valeurs morales nous enseigne le contraire depuis toujours, dans un souci de contrôle. En réalité, vous savez, je sais, et nous savons tous chanter et harmoniser. Il ne nous reste plus qu'à l'accepter pleinement, comme le fait Jacob collier, et Bobby McFerrin avant lui.
I think so many are reacting to this because these last years have seen so much division, yet here we see and hear unity and the beauty and the power that it brings.
This is the power of music. To bring anyone, from any culture, upbringing, political view, you name it, together in harmony. It is the ultimate expression of the human experience.
YOU WILL for sure keep saying it and pushing and Jacob will say yes! So many musicians can learn from him advanced or novice! Keep playing Francesco and we'll be seeing that result for SURE!
@@invictuz4803 Yes, we are mostly musicians. Doesn't matter how much he rises or lowers his hands, people is just ascending or descending one step at a time in the traditional major scale C,D,E,F,G,A,B
Any person that has ever sung along to a song before can tune with 1000 people next to them very easily. Jacob’s motions are not for specific notes but just one step at a time along a basic scale. No training needed but it does help that most of Jacob’s fans are musicians already. But he could do this in a big crowd of non-musicians who were willing participants.
the guy is a musical genius, no doubt about it, and this is very nice, but it's not big next level; in my younger days when I was a music student some 45 years ago, we did these kind of exercises during choir classes, even more extended, rhythmatically, dynamically. don't forget, in a conservatory, everybody is musical, and pretty much the same goes for the audience of Jacob.
@@Herby701 That's true, exercises like these are pretty much daily in conservatories and universities. Of course he is a genius, but it isn't next level, that is true. It is impressive to conduct a massive audience though, although most of his audience is musically educated, which definitely makes it easier. It wouldn't be that easy with your typical human being in a concert.
Had the absolute privilege of being in the audience at this gig. It was genuinely one of the most amazing things to be a part of! Sent shivers down my spine then, and again just now watching it reliving the moment.
@@SophieBurrows97 but how did everyone keep his own assigned voicing? Did you hear your part louder than the others then? I'm juste amazed, i try to understand how this can be possible.. thx
@@RENZO4993 there were hundreds of people around us singing the same notes but you could also hear the other voice parts if that makes sense. We were only split into 5 or 6 sections at most in a crowd of 5000 or so, so there were lots of us on the same note to keep us in tune! I might have found it easier though, as I’m a professional musician and am used to holding a note while hearing another note around me.
Very cool. Did you not get out of breath?! Seems like it would be hard to hold those notes all that time for the average person. Maybe it was the energy of the moment that fueled everyone. Singing together is powerful.
I am in tears. This is like listening to Ennio Morricone's The Mission for the first time, alone as a 20s something young woman, lonely, afraid, and not knowing what to do next. I played it for hours, which became years. I've seen the future of music and it is Jacob Collier. Thank you from all my heart...
Saw him in DC, and he is exploring audience participation in all directions. Imagine a Bobby McFerrin show, but more emphasis on exploring harmony. It makes you proud to be a human being.
The newer audience choir videos that are coming out with Jacob are much better than some of the older ones. Think he’s at a level now to do a collab with Bobby if Bobby is still up for doing this kind of thing.
I saw the concert in Lisbon, Portugal, a few days ago. Went there with my mum and a cellist friend. The whole concert was surreal and mind-blowing, the energy Jacob has on stage is insane. And then he hits us with the Audience Choir, boy oh boy. My mum said tears came to her eyes when it happened, it was so beautiful.
Human beings, like dogs, enjoy calm leadership, and will surrender to it when they sense love in back of it - it REALLY is NOT one big power struggle. That is WRONG. This is wonderful.
I'm at a loss for words. I cannot believe how this man did this! It's like music is encoded in everyone. I'm sure most people in that theater don't know a thing about music theory. How are they harmonizing so well!? How are they choosing such beautiful chord progressions!? I. Need. To. Know.
The core of his audiences are musicians. He is what is known as a "musician's musician". Those in the know are rabid devotees, everyone else is confused and overwhelmed.
its a few things, humans, even if they don't have good pitch, they are still REALLY good at knowing when two sounds are off-key, so you just need a few people knowing the correct note and him helping them adjust that they will be able to match the correct note. you don't even know why its wrong, you just hear it and know, it almost hurt your ears. second, the sound gets averaged out, most people will bit a bit high or a bit low off key, and the audience will spread around a few octaves, however those frequencies will cancel out, giving the choir its distinctive timbre. the audience will KNOW when the sounds cancel out in the correct note, because they will hear it... hell, feel it. and lastly, apparently the pentatonic scale is engrained in our brains from what I read, people seem to have an almost instinctive ability to jump to the correct notes in the scale without much assistance, I have no fucking clue why is that though.
That's because we humans naturally recognise the pentatonic scale. Bobby MacFerrin demonstrated this beautifully. ("Power of Pentatonic Scale": ua-cam.com/video/fjvR9UMQCrg/v-deo.html) I love the tune (the melody) Jacob used for this session very much! Brilliant.
It's all about intervals. It seems foreign but most people know what a major scale is they just don't know. If you asked a majority of people to sing starting with a root note then direct them to raise the pitch they'll most likely do it in key because it just seems natural. Remember music was felt before it was written. Notation is just an explanation as to why music sounds the way it does.
Modern day wizard. Man comes out on stage dressed like me when I just got out of bed, and then magically turns a crowd of thousands into one of the most emotional and spiritual experiences a human can experience.... and each person already had that power within them already.... truly magic.
remember choking up to the video of Jacob's Toronto audience choir. fast forward one pandemic, two ticket purchases and three immense hours of golden Jacob glory. astonishing. the greatest privilege to be one of those Brixton voices.
@@DashingPartyCrasher It felt like everyone in this audience was super musical. Sitting in the queue was like going to a musicians convention 😅 But really the notes just come naturally out of everyone finding the thing that feels right. And Jacob sort of kicked if off by singing a small melody which gave a sort of key.
It’s just diatonic scale. Anyone with any experience in western or near-western music should be able to do this pretty well (participate, not lead on stage hah). Plus when you get a big crowd doing it like this and people that all paid to be there, there is a collaboration effect where everyone helps each other. Thanks
@@DashingPartyCrasherIn Munich, we were not prepped. If we had been, I'd have started an octave lower as Jacob kept driving us to ever higher notes that I couldn't get at. 😵 Magical moment anyway.
Was ein geiles Gefühl das sein muss und vorallem was ein Klang wenn man da oben steht und Menschen die vorher sich nicht einmal kannten so zu einer Einheit zusammen zu fügen das sowas magisches entsteht.Vielen Dank👍
instant chills hearing huge groups of people singing. The volume wasn't even high, it's just the immense energy somehow translates through my tiny little speaker.
I think this might be my favorite thing on this entire earth. Human beings harmonizing together. Imagine if the whole earth did this 😭. Africa on base, Asia on Tenor, Europe on suprano,the Americas on Alto the rest of the continents on baritone. I would flatline🥴
Next level is for him to sing melody along with them providing the chords! We have Bobby McFerrin to thank for this type of melodic/choral engagement with audiences by a touring singer.
I was at this gig! The whole show was incredible, ridiculously talented musicianship, surprise special guests, and the best light show I've ever seen. But being part of the 5000 people singing in harmony at the end of the show was nothing short of magical
Other artists: "I let the crowd sing a single line"
Jacob: "I turn the crowd into a heavenly choir for 5 minutes straight"
😃😃😃😃😃😁😁😁😁😁🥹🥰🙏🏻♥️🩵💚YES
It's an amazing juxtaposition, he becomes the audience.
True
Imcrivel sentí a presença de Deus
If every artist did this, everyone would just melt like butter. Then again, I'm not sure if that's a good thing or a bad thing.
Absolutely magical

I think so many are reacting to this because these last years have seen so much division, yet here we see and hear unity and the beauty and the power that it brings.
You are not alone
This is the power of music. To bring anyone, from any culture, upbringing, political view, you name it, together in harmony. It is the ultimate expression of the human experience.
Well said
@Louis Tea Enjoyer yes because every body working with eachother is not unity, it's god's work 😒
@@swatch9890 human excellence 👏
Beautifully said
There's much more to life than singing in a concert choir.
The singing level is jacobs average concert crowd is too high 😂
Probably because jacob is a lot of musicians favourite musician 😂
Or is it because many notes together outshine the false ones?
Many good poh-snares will outshine some mediocre ones… :P
Stop commenting on every video I watch lol
Mostly because he’s a musician’s musician. Attending the April 2022 concert at Fillmore Charlotte was easily one of the best concerts ever.
Musicians like jacob collier
mankind harmony in few minutes. absolutely wonderful.
Ребята! Этот талантливый юноша дирижирует всем земным шаром! И весь мир звучит, поёт!!!
The King himself! I'd love to play with him one day. Never say never...
I wish to see it! 😍
YOU WILL for sure keep saying it and pushing and Jacob will say yes! So many musicians can learn from him advanced or novice! Keep playing Francesco and we'll be seeing that result for SURE!
@@universaldriver9279 wow thanks!! Hopefully :)
Got to be part of this love at one of his concerts. It was a magical experience.
I had the opportunity to live this in person. My dad thought it was a fake choir because it was perfectly tuned and managed.
But how though? It seems like he's raising and lowering his hands to arbitrary heights, is everyone in the audience musicians?
@@invictuz4803 Almost all of the people who go to Jacob's Shows are well versed in music. Many esteemed artists also attend his show.
@@invictuz4803 Yes, we are mostly musicians. Doesn't matter how much he rises or lowers his hands, people is just ascending or descending one step at a time in the traditional major scale C,D,E,F,G,A,B
Any person that has ever sung along to a song before can tune with 1000 people next to them very easily. Jacob’s motions are not for specific notes but just one step at a time along a basic scale. No training needed but it does help that most of Jacob’s fans are musicians already. But he could do this in a big crowd of non-musicians who were willing participants.
@@invictuz4803 Search for “Bobby Mcferrin pentatonic” he did a demo of it at a talk
Isn't it odd how People / Strangers Singing 'Together' without Words can say those things we All Feel. Amazing.❤ This.
An _a cappela_ orchestra of people who didn't think they could sing...Sheer magic !
This is next level, but then again, most of the things Jacob does are! Breathtaking!
the guy is a musical genius, no doubt about it, and this is very nice, but it's not big next level; in my younger days when I was a music student some 45 years ago, we did these kind of exercises during choir classes, even more extended, rhythmatically, dynamically. don't forget, in a conservatory, everybody is musical, and pretty much the same goes for the audience of Jacob.
@@Herby701 That's true, exercises like these are pretty much daily in conservatories and universities. Of course he is a genius, but it isn't next level, that is true. It is impressive to conduct a massive audience though, although most of his audience is musically educated, which definitely makes it easier. It wouldn't be that easy with your typical human being in a concert.
@@botagasss right, exactly what i wrote, only in other words ...;-))
Had the absolute privilege of being in the audience at this gig. It was genuinely one of the most amazing things to be a part of! Sent shivers down my spine then, and again just now watching it reliving the moment.
Did you hee the harmony from where you stood ?
@@RENZO4993 yes!
@@SophieBurrows97 but how did everyone keep his own assigned voicing? Did you hear your part louder than the others then? I'm juste amazed, i try to understand how this can be possible.. thx
@@RENZO4993 there were hundreds of people around us singing the same notes but you could also hear the other voice parts if that makes sense. We were only split into 5 or 6 sections at most in a crowd of 5000 or so, so there were lots of us on the same note to keep us in tune! I might have found it easier though, as I’m a professional musician and am used to holding a note while hearing another note around me.
Very cool. Did you not get out of breath?! Seems like it would be hard to hold those notes all that time for the average person. Maybe it was the energy of the moment that fueled everyone. Singing together is powerful.
That harmony at 2:13 is insane, intense goosebumps...
It's like a film score melody
2:54 too
This is like a perfect blend of James Cameron's Avatar, and the Halo scores from the first three games...
Heaven.
I am in tears. This is like listening to
Ennio Morricone's The Mission for the first time, alone as a 20s something young woman, lonely, afraid, and not knowing what to do next. I played it for hours, which became years. I've seen the future of music and it is Jacob Collier. Thank you from all my heart...
Бесподобно! Это просто природный дар такой эмпатии. Энергия бурлит и переливается.
Saw him in DC, and he is exploring audience participation in all directions. Imagine a Bobby McFerrin show, but more emphasis on exploring harmony. It makes you proud to be a human being.
woah, what a buetiful way to put it
The newer audience choir videos that are coming out with Jacob are much better than some of the older ones. Think he’s at a level now to do a collab with Bobby if Bobby is still up for doing this kind of thing.
A testament to the human intuition for music. That ascent from 1:36-1:55 brought a tear to my eye.
the one from 2:10 tp 2:35 gave me the greatest goosebumps ive had in a while
Yeah it's achingly beautiful
was just about to write the same for some reason evokes same feelings for me as elegy for dunkirk (from atonement)
I was juut to comment to ask if anyone teared up during that sestion
I saw the concert in Lisbon, Portugal, a few days ago. Went there with my mum and a cellist friend. The whole concert was surreal and mind-blowing, the energy Jacob has on stage is insane. And then he hits us with the Audience Choir, boy oh boy. My mum said tears came to her eyes when it happened, it was so beautiful.
A gift for humanity
Human beings, like dogs, enjoy calm leadership, and will surrender to it when they sense love in back of it - it REALLY is NOT one big power struggle. That is WRONG. This is wonderful.
I think this might be the greatest example of musicianship ever recorded.
If this were the only thing he did at his concerts, I would still attend
1:38 - 2:38 This buildup is so cathartic and satisfying
i got chills from that
Умение синхронизироваться. Мы все волшебники.Мир.Добро.Любовь!!!!
I cried, unity is what’s right in the world.
Its just me or anyone loves that one voice that shines with a vibrato on 2:48? Chills everywhere
Right?? Nobody noticed this…
This is amazing, it's one voice, it's so distinct
When you buy a ticket solely for the audience choir bit. WHAT A LEDGENDARY MOVE FOR MASS HEALING . xxx🥰
The musicality in this audience is mind blowing. They know *exactly* which notes to sing and it sounds phenomenal.
this restores my love for humanity.
Need proof of his exitance just open your ears and mind. We are his greatest miracle of all.
Just when we thought everything was already invented in the history of live performance, Jacob does this.
Found this today.... God Mercy... I just cried... That is so powerful whe humans can sing in union a soul union....
Jacob Collier is our generation's hope
Lived this in Paris, magical
He is made out of harmonic magic and melody sprinkles. ❤🙏🎉
I have watched this at least 20 times, and I cry every time. This is pure magic.
I'm at a loss for words. I cannot believe how this man did this! It's like music is encoded in everyone. I'm sure most people in that theater don't know a thing about music theory. How are they harmonizing so well!? How are they choosing such beautiful chord progressions!? I. Need. To. Know.
The core of his audiences are musicians. He is what is known as a "musician's musician". Those in the know are rabid devotees, everyone else is confused and overwhelmed.
its a few things, humans, even if they don't have good pitch, they are still REALLY good at knowing when two sounds are off-key, so you just need a few people knowing the correct note and him helping them adjust that they will be able to match the correct note. you don't even know why its wrong, you just hear it and know, it almost hurt your ears.
second, the sound gets averaged out, most people will bit a bit high or a bit low off key, and the audience will spread around a few octaves, however those frequencies will cancel out, giving the choir its distinctive timbre. the audience will KNOW when the sounds cancel out in the correct note, because they will hear it... hell, feel it.
and lastly, apparently the pentatonic scale is engrained in our brains from what I read, people seem to have an almost instinctive ability to jump to the correct notes in the scale without much assistance, I have no fucking clue why is that though.
That's because we humans naturally recognise the pentatonic scale. Bobby MacFerrin demonstrated this beautifully. ("Power of Pentatonic Scale": ua-cam.com/video/fjvR9UMQCrg/v-deo.html)
I love the tune (the melody) Jacob used for this session very much! Brilliant.
Humans tend to have an aversion to discordant sounds.
It's all about intervals. It seems foreign but most people know what a major scale is they just don't know. If you asked a majority of people to sing starting with a root note then direct them to raise the pitch they'll most likely do it in key because it just seems natural. Remember music was felt before it was written. Notation is just an explanation as to why music sounds the way it does.
When you think the world has lost its humanity and then you see this uplifting of voices - hope still endures
Modern day wizard. Man comes out on stage dressed like me when I just got out of bed, and then magically turns a crowd of thousands into one of the most emotional and spiritual experiences a human can experience.... and each person already had that power within them already.... truly magic.
remember choking up to the video of Jacob's Toronto audience choir. fast forward one pandemic, two ticket purchases and three immense hours of golden Jacob glory. astonishing. the greatest privilege to be one of those Brixton voices.
Fantastic, I can imagine! How did the audience know what notes to hit? Are they prepped or led somehow, or is this just some magical musical instinct?
@@DashingPartyCrasher It felt like everyone in this audience was super musical. Sitting in the queue was like going to a musicians convention 😅 But really the notes just come naturally out of everyone finding the thing that feels right. And Jacob sort of kicked if off by singing a small melody which gave a sort of key.
It’s just diatonic scale. Anyone with any experience in western or near-western music should be able to do this pretty well (participate, not lead on stage hah). Plus when you get a big crowd doing it like this and people that all paid to be there, there is a collaboration effect where everyone helps each other. Thanks
@@DashingPartyCrasherIn Munich, we were not prepped. If we had been, I'd have started an octave lower as Jacob kept driving us to ever higher notes that I couldn't get at. 😵 Magical moment anyway.
Looks like we all know how we should be together on this journey , but still, so often apart from each other. This guy is magical.
London folk you guys sound AWESOME and people in charge of recording london folk they sound AWESOME
Who cannot have their soul filled by this?
Потрясающе!!! Браво всем!!!❤❤❤
Those harmonies are something else daaaaamn and it must feel epic to coordinate that many people in front of you to make something like that
Was ein geiles Gefühl das sein muss und vorallem was ein Klang wenn man da oben steht und Menschen die vorher sich nicht einmal kannten so zu einer Einheit zusammen zu fügen das sowas magisches entsteht.Vielen Dank👍
instant chills hearing huge groups of people singing. The volume wasn't even high, it's just the immense energy somehow translates through my tiny little speaker.
В этот момент чувствуется всеобщее единство всех и вся!
Мир, добро, любовь!!!🍀
Завораживающе
Слезы сами текут 😢 очень красиво и трогает за душу
Мир! Добро! Любовь❤
Шундец))
@@Хлоша шундец им всем!!!!!
Мир, Добро, Любовь!
I think this might be my favorite thing on this entire earth. Human beings harmonizing together. Imagine if the whole earth did this 😭. Africa on base, Asia on Tenor, Europe on suprano,the Americas on Alto the rest of the continents on baritone. I would flatline🥴
It's the 80th time I came here, I surrender my self as a musical instrument, this Man needs to play me. 🥺✨
Next level is for him to sing melody along with them providing the chords! We have Bobby McFerrin to thank for this type of melodic/choral engagement with audiences by a touring singer.
I was at this gig!
The whole show was incredible, ridiculously talented musicianship, surprise special guests, and the best light show I've ever seen.
But being part of the 5000 people singing in harmony at the end of the show was nothing short of magical
Это здорово!Слёзы на глазах!
Jacob is the creator of Heaven's Music.
I am in tears. This is absolute ethereal It felt like I was in a different world just listening to this. Everyone did a great job.
