What friggin planet is this kid from??? Absolutely amazing.!!!!! Encompasses everything that's perfect about music. Rhythm, harmony, tone, chops, feel. Borderline spiritual. I'm so moved by this stuff that I can't even be jealous of him. Only youtube channel where I actually checked out every video. Jacob yr a blessing to anyone who truly loves music, God bless you.
Yes, Yes, and Yes! I've been a fan for 2-3 years now, and I think this is the first time I've seen this song, and it's amazing to me there's only 415K views and 29 likes on your comment from 8 years ago... Awesome that you found out about him so long ago now. He's a genuine treasure, for sure.
gazyatri It's a cliche in jazz. it's kind of like a joke or an Easter Egg thing to put it in songs. You can look it up on UA-cam and some people post compilations of when it shows up in songs
I very very rarely comment on any UA-cam video, but I had to take some time to say that I cannot commend this video highly enough to any person who enjoy intricate jazz harmonizations "a la Take 6." Brother, you a very talented musician and you did a respectful job here. It may not be a genre that attracts a whole lot of people in our pop culture, commercially speaking, but it is a real treat for true jazz musicians and admirers of good music in general. Well done!
Your arrangements make me happy to be alive. I know that sounds uhhhridiculous. But I mean it. Music colors my world. Hearing such intricate harmonies and seeing the dedication to their creation makes me look at life and go "yup. totally worth it" I mean, I love my family and friends and blah blah blah blah blah. Im just saying thank you for sharing this beauty with the world.....Im so eloquent =D
You just made my day kid....Wonderful arrangement....Big future for you I think......( I have been a session musician for 25 years...I know talent when I hear it)...Keep on doing what you are doing......B...
Jacob has obviously got what might be termed a unique feel and insight for vocal harmony. I relate very deeply to his performance having been addicted to vocal harmony since very early in life. I don't know how he achieved this recording, but whether it was by ear or by using vocalizer technology...........Jacob knows precisely what he needs to due to produce such a niche outcome. for me, the outcome sound brought back memories of the 50's and 60's music styles of the many vocal trios, quartets, quintets and sextets. Jacob's musical and performance ability for his age almost defies belief. Jacob you have my absolute respect and admiration. Wish you lived next door to me ...I've got my TC Helicon VoiceLive Play, Harmonica, Uke and Guitar at the ready ! Cheers and thanks for all you put into making this such a great performance.
Another masterpiece of arrangement/performance. This harmony surpasses anything by The Hil-lo's or The New York Voices, and it's hard to name an instrument he can't play at a professional level. A blazing talent.
This makes an old man believe there is still good music in the newer generations. I am not being condescending. It's just that sometime I am feeling sad about the current pop culture of noisy, insipid trash . . . until this creative and beautifully realized work (and yes, the work is respected) comes along. thank you, thank you, THANK you.
I can't believe 27 people disliked this video...Jacob Colier is a really really talented dude, who I feel doesn't have enough recognition etc. Keep at it :D
+Whovian There are purists who will always be detractors especially when it involves technology. Jacob is a unique talent with an amazing imagination. Some arrangements are a bit over the top but they are amazing just the same if only for the time and effort he puts into them.
Because, regardless of his intelligence or even genius in some respects , some people aren't taken in nor impressed with technique , use of technology ( to the point of sounding robotic ) etc., and would rather hear/feel something truly heartfelt , embodied, and authentic.

@@intensepaul after seeing lots of Jacob's music videos, interviews, random informal conversations, instagrams, etc etc., i've never detected an inauthentic morsel in this young man's soul. he is a true musician and a harmonious human through and through.
Voice recognition doesn't work as well as I thought. Seeing someone here of your age with such enormous talent is really encouraging to say the least. Your singing is amazing, great harmonies and nice groove on the upright. Now this comment makes much more sense. But I hope you felt the meaning of my last comment. YOU'VE GOT IT MAN! KILLIN!
Jacob, beautiful job... I really like the harmonisation at 1:15, it's a great contrast with the rest of your harmonies. Thanks for making this, I'll be learning a lot from it.
Jacob I must say you are truly inspiring. Into here and see someone of your age with such that is very encouraging. Keep it going man! I feel you. Peace
wow first I discover dirty loops and now this incredibly talented young guy! makes me feel so insignificant... :( hahahaha I hope he enjoys every minute of the thrill to the ego! well deserved :D
Jacob, you are extremely vocally talented! I'm in choir at school and I told them about you, now their all hooked on your videos. Keep up the excellent work man!! :)
A friend of mine sent me a link of this video. Son, you've got talent! Keep it going!! I look forward to seeing (hearing) great things from you in the future.
the amount of hate this guy gets on reddit is ridiculous,,, "he's pretentious, he does music more to show off instead and he has no feel also his voice sucks!!1!1!!" huh???? hes like the POLAR opposite of all of that.. they probably watched 2 videos of his. hes the most humble and creative person I've ever seen. how can you hate him??? hes absolutely adorable and the amount of talent he has just makes it even better. I cant help but think they're trying to justify their jealousy with irrelevant and petty points
if you watch his interviews you'll see that he is in fact very connected to music *very* emotionally and he once said he doesnt even really like to be described as a genius, along with not ever really enjoying music theory as a boy. hes more into finding chords and harmonies which explains the "over the top/show-offy" arrangements redditors hate so much
and just the cherry on top for the people that still think hes a show off english dude, theres a video where he defined chords and harmonies as a "story" of some sort. you start chord X and try to get to chord Y, but instead of being straightforward with it, you take chord X and take it on a journey to get to chord Y. the way he thinks about music is very unique and that's probably why all of his music (in my opinion) is so different and mindblowing. here's the video: ua-cam.com/video/cZxyBCoYAmg/v-deo.html
Yeah so i have the same name as you... i feel very shown up...
damn, Jacob should make a song with you.....with no apparent reason
Jacob Collier real estate is a great field to get into

His hair doesn't distract me but its always entertaining to see his half gravity defying anime hair thing goin
+Selena Gilbert Seriously! His hair is freaking adorable. I love it!!!!

I kinda miss young Jacob's high notes. Such a pure sounding voice.
He still got them! But his technique got worse to make iconic sound
@@korvmedmos979 what
@@ebooneyeah, exactly... What?
Fun fact: Jacob's vocal range is actually physically dependant on how much of his forehead is exposed.
Interesting
😂 😂 😂
😆😆😂😆😆😂

Easter egg founded
1:41 He sang "The Lick"!
what is it, "The Lick"?
gazyatri It's a cliche in jazz. it's kind of like a joke or an Easter Egg thing to put it in songs. You can look it up on UA-cam and some people post compilations of when it shows up in songs
Thank you, I'll search for it.
A B C D B G A 😂😂 nice one mate
Julian Dusett lmao
1:46 The lick, very nice
Perhaps my favorite. Because every major aspect of his harmonic signature was there. And you could tell.
I wake up my kids slowly with this song every morning ♥️
What a great way to wake up!!! And what lucky kids to have a mom like you. :-)
Love the upright bass 😍

I've never seen anything like this before. What a treat to listen to!! If anyone has a future in music, then it is you.
I agree
Man you predicted it
prophetic
Never have I ever hated and loved someone so much. What a genius
me with literally all geniuses

As Jimmy Durante said, "It doesn't have to be witty or smart, just as long as it comes from the heart." You bring musical blessing to the world, man.
It sounds like Brazilian music... Bossa Nova! Beautiful!!!
Youth is NOT wasted on the young! Thank you Jacob!
You just made my day kid....Wonderful arrangement....Big future for you I think......( I have been a session musician for 25 years...I know talent when I hear it)...Keep on doing what you are doing......B...
Your use of polyrhythm is out of this world. I love everything you do.
When people are smart, and do good work, this is what it looks/sounds like. Keep the fight up against mediocrity!
Truly musically blessed by God. A true gift.

The “way” chord at 1:24 is magical
Will the thumbs down just relax and get happy? Sheesh! The lad is pure love!
they are bots!
It's so encouraging to see young people who don't follow the predictable path of going into hip-hop and dance music. Fantastic work.
0:20 is one of my favorite moments in music. Quite heartwarming
The best harmonies I have heard since Take 6 and the King Sisters.
Monster...what big ears he has!!!

Good! Wonderful scat tag! Nice middle-tone blend. Adding the bass line gives the song
a finished performance.
I've been trying to decide how to arrange this song for the past 3 or 4 years. Stumbled on this.
