He's a phenomenon and I'm really glad you're checking him out! Please check out more, it's insane what this man can do with music
About the amount of work, I believe he recorded it in a single week! Mindblowing this dude
There is Jacob Collier. Then there are the rest of us. This young man is beyond description. Welcome to his rarified aire. You will be absorbed. The opening wasn't Patreons ... they were luminaries (Herbie Hancock, Hans Zimmer, etc.) who have also been blown away by Jacob's gifts. There are so many things for you to discover. My suggestion for next up is "All Night Long".
I love watching people's first reaction to Jacob Collier. You asked who is this man. He is the true genius of music in this generation at least. He's left the best musicians in the world absolutely baffled. Would love to see you react to more of his music
Your facial expression perfectly captured every moment of my emotional journey through this absolute master piece... what a gift to the world.
This is by far the best and most authentic reaction video to Jacob Collier's Moon River.
Jacob Collier is an absolute mutant! It should be illegal for any one person to have that much talent.
Finding Jacob’s music is life-altering. I think your reactions 100% matched mine and seeing him in person was truly a religious experience. He is beyond gifted and blessed.
great expressions on your face - really expresses the wonder and kind of overwhelming brilliance of it.
like damn leave some of that talent for the rest of us
If the next Mozart was around alive, how long would it take people notice? Jacob is a freak of nature. 2+ octave vocal range and perfect pitch. Pretty good on the drums, really good on the bass and an excellent piano player. Randomly picking one of his songs will almost always yield a good result. But for fun places to start, I'd go with The Flinstones, All Night Long and All I Need. Subbed.
I can tell by your face that you are hearing what I’m hearing. This arrangement is so dense, yet it still flows well to my ears, and I guess I’m in Jacob’s target audience because this song is as emotional as it is impressive to me.
Found your channel through Dimash, and like your music reaction choices.
I think with Jacob Collier I would recommend alternating between his covers and his original music. I’m going to suggest “Don’t You Know” followed by “Flinstones” from his debut album “In My Room”. Self-produced and featuring Jacob on all instruments. It’s beyond comprehension for my feeble mind, but I think you’re going to be blown away no matter how you approach his stuff.
Oh man, you have just stumbled upon his greatness JC!!!
More of his stuff please! He has a ton with great music he makes all himself in his room at home!
You have a great ear ! Thanks for the wonderful reaction. Can't wait to see you react to more Jacob Collier.
He does reharmonizations of existing songs that are so we'll done they all get Grammy's. The Flintstones, or all night long (featuring take 6) etc. are good ones to start at
your face the whole time hahaha i love it
subbed!
I am so glad you reacted to this song! Jacob Collier is one of the most underrated if not the most underrated living musician in the world. This is a masterpiece, the most extraordinary I've heard in my life harmony wise. And I say this as someone who made classical music on a professional level for 8 years. This man is so unbelievably talanted, I don't even have words for it. If you are really interested in how this song was made, Jacob sometimes makes "logic sessions" where he takes a song and works through it what his thoughts were. In the session for Moon River he is talking and showing for about 1h 30min and the time goes by like nothing and you don't have the feeling like he tells you something very deep about it but simply some cool things.
Fyi the amount of work was only 1 week including the recording of all voices xD
Greetings from Germany
I got recommended his video 'Fascinating Rhythm' by my piano teacher years and years ago, which was fantastic but did somewhat make me feel even less talented 😂😂
I knew you would appreciate Jacob’s work..can’t decide if he’s a genius or an alien..probably both! Please check out hud All Night Long..some surprise appearances there too..let him continue to crush you!
Yesss Ive been waiting for this :p
I love your reaction, and I knew you would love this song when I told you about it
I am so happy you looked into Jacob Collier. What a prodigy! I thought you and your wife might like his interpretation of music covers. He just elevates them to such a unique level. There are live performances on YT too showing him in action using multi instruments and loop pedal(s). His harmonization layering is breathless. Ear candy!
He has been known to do randomized livestreams to include internet audience participation too. You will find those on his channel
I am thrilled you found joy with what you have heard thus far. If you and your wife want to geek out on music theory, there is a video of him and Charlie Puth discussing their process of music chord creations and pulling them together.
I understand he has over 1200 individual lines (parts) for this song ALONE. As for the rabbit hole, it has been one of my favorite finds in my lifetime. As to what you’ll find, all I can say is wait until you here one of his original compositions.
Please also bear in mind ALL of the videos he has posted here prior to being ‘discovered’ by Quincy Jones are performed, arranged and produced by Jacob (and here’s the real kicker) between the ages of approximately 17 and 21.
JC can take a melody and suspend it in a swirling vortex of chordal complexity without ever allowing the listener to forget the melodic line they came to hear. The mark of genius.
By the way, have you heard of Snarky Puppy?
I recommend Hideaway next, one of the many monuments of his immensely beautiful discography.
In 1977 we sent Voyager 1 into space with the Voyager Golden Record containing music like Bach's Toccata and Fugue. This was a statement where we as humans have evolved to. I suggest we send an additional probe with Jacob Collier's Moon River to level up.
I remember vividly finding Jacob's music for the first time. I'm so happy for you man, you got some journey ahead of you with this one! Enjoy the ride!
First video I saw was the flinstones. I also remember distinctly completely losing grasp of reality and running around like a mad man in utter disbelief
Great reaction video! More Jacob Collier please 👏 He's to music what Neo was to The Matrix, The One. 💙
The beginning “moon” is my favorite part!
Also!! I'm pretty sure he made a video breaking down how he made this song, the production of it all.
Man, I'd really love to see more of your reactions to Jacob!!!
The microtonal changes in key are incredible, particularly because of the maintained harmonies throughout the transitions between naturals, sharps and half-sharps.🙌🏾🙌🏾🔥🔥🔥
I am so glad you finally reacted to this!!! Jacob Collier- Hallelujah and Time Alone with you ft Daniel Caesar Keep up the great work bro!!!
I recently discovered JC and was equally blown away and also fell down this rabbit hole. You mentioned the heads at the beginning, wondering if it was a Patreon thing. Did you see who some of those heads are? Herbie, Chris Martin, Ty Dollar, Hans Zimmer!!! And so many more. As well as his sisters and his mum!
Yoooooo, Dave….this is one of the best reactions I’ve seen to this, man. Thank you so much! Loved it. Keep doing what you do. 👊
this is one of the best reactions i've seen of this song... :)
Your reaction was my exact reaction the first time I heard this... 🤯🤯🤯
Welcome to Jacob's world. We're all along for the ride...
DUDE YOU'RE LITERALLY REACTING TO EVERYTHING I'VE WATCHED, FROM THE BOYS UP UNTIL JACOB COLLIER, like, wtf.
I’m in your head haha.
Please do more!! His music is so good
If you love Collier I'd recommend checking out The Real Group. They aren't really well known outside the jazz and choir worlds. They're considered the gold standard for A Cappella groups. They're one of my favs. Been around since the 80s.
actor without Oscar))
Don't worry about the lack of words. Your face did the talking for you.
Check out some live performances as well, he puts on a great show, getting the audiences to sing along.
12:24 I know his lowest chest is normally a D or a C so I have to guess that the end was either pitched down or a subharmonic popped due to the harmony because I swear I heard a B0 right there and as far as I know I haven't heard him use subharmonics ever.
And that’s without instruments. Welcome to the JC insanity. He got a Grammy for his rendition of the Flinstones theme. Dude is an alien.
I think it's safe to say that Jacob managed to do this song in a way that is as beautiful and classy as Audrey Hepburn herself!
It's okay to cry, dude, for it's Mancini's and Collier's...
Great reaction thanks! try a live one!
you should look at his song Never Gonna Be Alone with Lizzy Mcalpine. it's amazinggg
0:00-15:23: ambatablow....
Always with you man
Hey, what happened to the rabbit hole? I searched your video list and this is the last Jacob Collier you did. Did you just binge everything you could find and forget to record reactions? =)
Did anyone in the comments point out that he shifts up and down a HALF key a few times and makes you not even notice the modulation? He wanted the end to feel "brighter." He starts in Bb major, shifts to Db major when he starts singing the first verse, hops into D major, then C major. Once he shifts into A major (for two measures), he carefully modulates to A=427.47 Hz (D half-sharp major), then to E half-flat major. Eventually, he slowly rises in pitch a half step to standard tuning back into A=440 (in E major), but keeps shifting the pitch up slowly over six measures to A=452.89 (another half-sharp, but into C major). Whew.
Unsurprisingly, he won one of his four Grammys for Moon River.
Please, please react to some more Jacob Collier. I'll look around in case I missed some reactions.
Interesting to find this comment. I just recorded my reaction to his little blue song. It drops tomorrow.
This video did not perform how I would have liked it too, which meant people didn’t care for my reaction to it. I am trying again tomorrow. We will see.
@@whatitdodave Occasionally you just gotta do something for you. 😄
I didn't love Little Blue, but it's good.
@@AdamDray you are correct in your first sentence. But if im doing it just for me, I will watch it off camera like everybody else haha.
Jacob Collier is such a virtuoso he realized that modern music and pianos in general are out of tune. get that in your head xDDD its insanity
