I urge everyone who liked the 9:14-> song ("Underneath The Stars") to encourage Jacob to do a full version with Colin Johnson. I hope you will join me on this.
My two favorite moments: 1) Judith Owen 7:28 the way Jacob sets up the ii-V that goes to IV at the absolute last possible moment between the first "send me a line" and the second. That descent into the ii. The way it just plops and feels both abrupt and also perfectly prepared. Stunning. 2) Colin Johnson 9:25 the way Jacob ends this phrase on the gentlest, daintiest passing chord. That chromatic motion from the bass on "leave you" how it points you SO HARD into "before." There are chunks of this video where I love the whole damn clip more, but specifically the harmony that's going on in these two parts makes me come back again and again and again just in awe of how rad it is.
@@kra844 "Sounding like shit" is definitely too harsh because his singing is incredible but that's just a bit too much oversinging imo. Still mindblowing
I've forgotten to write the title of the track: Long Bashels, here are the credits and personnel www.discogs.com/it/Jim-Beard-Song-Of-The-Sun/release/4831506
9:14 is my absolute favorite! It made me cry. It reminds me of one of those beautiful Randy Newman songs like for a Pixar movie with beautiful "haunting melancholic chords" - like "When She Loved Me." I SO much wish that this could be made into a longer version by Jacob in this exact style. Anyone with me on this "beggin'" Jacob for this? :-)
Not only is this impressive for what Jacob can do, but there is some serious talent from the people sending these messages! Seriously, everyone, this is incredible! Keep this up for as long as you can, this is amazing.
This is one of the most beautiful thing in ever heard. Music is supposed to be the universe language, but there is apparently difference in cultural musical preference.
OMG! Why didn't anyone tell me about this before when I needed it most? We've all been wondering what's going to happen with the music business and Jacob is already 20 km down the road. This stuff makes me alternately cry and curse. What a talent and relief. Bless you, and keep up the the great work #1HarmU
No appropriate words to mind to explain how amazing his gift is. "The Way You Look Tonight" took me completely out and then the very next song sealed my tomb....dead
This compilation truly warms my heart. In addition to being a brilliant way to garner support for your project(s), the #iHarmU campaign has been a wonderful opportunity for us fans to collaborate in a small way with your musical genius. Thanks, Jacob, for giving us the chance to jam with you while your star is still on the rise! You are the MAN! Blessings always, Aaron ( Me•chum )
I totally agree, Eric! It made me freakin' cry. I'm trying to get people together to ask Jacob if he'll please consider making a longer version of this in the same style.
You are tremendously talented, gifted and absolutely skilled. Like David in the bible he was skilled.... God Has Really Blessed you with an Awesome gift.
OK, So I started to read the comments as soon as the video started, a lot of them were bigging up the Colin Johnson 9:14 . I waited patiently for 9:14 and oh boy was it worth waiting for, it sent chills down my spine. Can someone explain what happened, what is it about those notes that create that response, Im not the only one who felt it am I?
If I had to guess, this one was a little bit of simplicity among the extreme reharms, and that makes it more impactful probably. Its chord progression helps it too
Just intonation. Jacob is obsessed (as he should be since it's fucking awesome) with a method of tuning chords (especially triads) based on the hormonic series of certain notes instead of just traditional equal temperament intervals. It's essentially more in tune chords that are just so awesome. Google will probably explain it better than me if you want to know more.
Basically he tunes chords so that the frequencies of the notes have simpler ratios. Notes with simple radios sound good to our ears (an octave is 1:2, a fifth is 2:3, etc.) He tunes major chords with a ratio of 4:5:6, so to our ears they sound very nice. Plus that song is just beautiful lol
What people said about the tuning is correct, but also when Colin sings "and there beneath the stars ill leave you" Jacob uses minor IV (minor plagal cadence) to create a bittersweet feeling. its the "classic Christmas chord" that everyone talks about. on the word "you" the chord is spelled as B7/C , the notes A and C in that chord are borrowed from the minor IV.
For 99.9% of us it’s 5% talent and 95% hard work in music. For people like Jacob, it’s 100% talent and then a lot of hard work. The hard work plays a part of course, but the sheer, undeniable talent is the true, single catalyst for their success.
That because that has the most chord changes, but most of the chord changes are not chromatic or discordant, which is what jacob tends to do most of the time, is to put like 10 dissonant chords in 10 seconds of sound
Anyone think mahabongo is an original improvisation from that guy, it could have been a serious and popular bossa nova song, he seems like a well listened musician.
(7:44 - 8:54); Avery Wilson & Jacob C….The Power of MUSIC is “here” in this sample. If anyone can listens to this arrangement and not feel something within, you should commence on excavating your own plot my friend! Long Live MUSIC✊🏽🎼💜🇯🇲🌲
No words, man! Just totally awesome in the best sense of the word; total genius, and a frightening level of talent! It's going to be amazing to watch what you do with it!
What Jacob does on the bass is just nasty! ;-) Most of the preceding videos had been heavily vocals-oriented, so I was delightfully surprised to see that he pulled out several instruments to make it nice and groovy. Also love what he does on the keys in the video’s outro!
Well he sang a couple notes a bit low. His runs are super on point, but his smaller riffs are not 100% clean. I just think he has been practicing them scales a lot...
The one with Colin J., Houston, TX (9:15) is beautiful (nice melody, dude ;). The arrangement is ethereal, celestial, church hymn like, out of this world. In one word, moving. Well-done! Thx
I'm a new listener. Wow! Where have I been? Now it's like taking a sip from a fire hose. All your stuff is amazing. These collaborations with other singers are more than great. Wish I'd been from the beginning. Would have liked to be in on the promo...
JAMIE CULLUM AND JACOB COLLIER IN ONE SONG? MY LIFE IS COMPLETE!!!!!
I urge everyone who liked the 9:14-> song ("Underneath The Stars") to encourage Jacob to do a full version with Colin Johnson. I hope you will join me on this.
I’d love to see that!
YES!
yyesss pleaseeee
second this!
I LOVED THAT ONE
7:43 Avery Wilson is like a guy with a piano in his voice. The fast note changes are SO accurate. amazing talent
Melismatic singing. Mariah Carey and Brian McKnight are also great at this.
My two favorite moments:

YESSSS GOOD Ear
Oh my god yesss I had the exact same thought about the passing chord in the Colin Johnson one, it's so subtle but such a nice bit of colour
Man that sang don't you worry child had some unreal control
Michael he’s got a new song out
He was on the voice
Its impressive but it sounded shit. Just because he can do it does not mean he has to do it.
@@positivesquad tf? i dont understand bro if he can do it why wouldn't he bro

omg that at soundscape at 1:25.. Jacob Please colab with that guy and make a whole song, it sounds amazing!
Yeah, that one’s one of my absolute faves. That idea was inspired, and Jacob made it so beautiful.
I tottaly agree!
Yes, that part really stood out. Awesome synergy

Agree.

And hard work. Everyone says talent but dont forget the hard work he put in.

I do recommend everyone who likes this song to listen to the original by Kate Rusby: ua-cam.com/video/tORuEdknbWI/v-deo.html&ab_channel=mike19821982
9:14 -9:34 Underneath The Stars.... Colin Johnson....FULL VERSION.....MAKE IT HAPPEN PLEASE! I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE
I agree, King Davon! I'd love to hear a full-blown version of this beautiful tone poem.
And so do you, Jacob!
A musician's musician.
9:14 gives me the chills every time. Good job, Jacob.
Me too! It's so amazing. Please consider writing to Jacob - like I've done - and ask if he'll please consider making a longer version of this.
Not only is this impressive for what Jacob can do, but there is some serious talent from the people sending these messages! Seriously, everyone, this is incredible! Keep this up for as long as you can, this is amazing.
@7:43 Avery Wilson
runs laps for days. 💪👍
And days and days....
Jminor Csharp without any effort!!!!!!!!!!! He’s A run monster

This is one of the most beautiful thing in ever heard. Music is supposed to be the universe language, but there is apparently difference in cultural musical preference.
There's a bounty on Jacob's head for $500,000
He's being charged with killing multiple riffs, harmonies, time signatures and accents
u missed a few 0s in there.
Right!!
After 2 years, his bounty was finally payed of, and he was placed under a rest
Everett Frey Bravo my brother
And harming people
9:14 was the most beautiful little piece :)

Collin Johnson & Jacob!
what a bliss; one dreams of Jacob meeting James Taylor in such moments, but would I have enough tears to cry of joy?
No appropriate words to mind to explain how amazing his gift is. "The Way You Look Tonight" took me completely out and then the very next song sealed my tomb....dead
8:18 those 4 chords are godly
The collab with Avery Wilson almost brings me to tears, beautiful stuff, all of it is to be fair!
Maaaan the last one with Aaron Sheppard was OOZING with D'Angelo neo-soul vibes! That pocket man, that pocket!

3:21 Charles Jones!! Game Winner for me ;)
Name song?
this is why we should clone Jacob
oh so that is not what he did? xD
peter panda all we should have the brain of Jacob Collier
Twice as many people harm you
All you gotta do is get your hands on the signed melodica he gave away. He used it a couple times, there's gotta be some skin cells on there
NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! Then he would cease to be UNIQUE... UNFAIR TO HE AAANNNDDD YOU
Dear Jacob and Colin, could you 2 please please make a full 3-4 minute version of your harmonized masterpiece?
In retrospect #IHarmU may not have been an optimal hashtag.
Chris Chapin he probably did it on purpose
c.f. that german discounter brand that briefly sold a cheapo mp3-player under the name _iBeat,_ with the color specification _blaxx_ ... m(
Why doesn't this have 400 million views? I am totally in love with this.
You are tremendously talented, gifted and absolutely skilled. Like David in the bible he was skilled.... God Has Really Blessed you with an Awesome gift.

Oh my... Mozart has been reborn... and will be surpassed..
1:44 Jamie has almost the very best singing voice I’ve ever heard in my life 😭🥹😍
I loved the one where the guy was playing on the glasses. Something so soothing about that.

The Judith Owen collaboration (7:13) is absolutely my favorite. Has anyone put a beat to it yet? It could be so chill.
Mahabongo❤️
I'm revisiting all these during Social Distancing 2020. Still so good and it's doing good to my soul. Thank you, Jacob.
HOW COOL IS MAHABONGO!!
Héctor Areyuna “J A C O B :)”
What was the tune he was signing?

7:43 *What did my ears do to deserve this slice of heaven*
jacob and jamie cullum should do more collabs, both are beautiful musical geniuses!!! can't wait for more of this, LOVE THIS!!!
How does someone so young have so much musical information. This isn't a gimmick people, we are watching greatness.
This is the most beautiful thing I have ever witnessed in my life. Jacob you are a truly a outlier among musicians.
my heart can't survive Jacob & Jamie Cullum together ♡
The last one is KILLER
THE POWER OF ARRANGEMENTS . Amazing...
1:24...Wow. That one got me. That could go on forever.
The one with Mahabongo is my favourite. I would be really excited to listen to more collaborative pieces by Mahabongo and Jacob.
THIS SHOULD HAVE 100 BILLION VIEWS!!!
Wow!!!!! Jacob. You may have just started a crazy musical movement. It's wonderful to see and hear. God bless.

Holy shit. This is the best thing on UA-cam. Ever.
I stand by my belief of him being the most talented musician alive.
