He always seems to be able to produce a "hey c'mon kids" energy when he sings in concert. It's so fun to watch and you feel like he's really talking to you through his music
A multi-instrumentalist, with a distinctive/instantly recognisable style. An exerciser in musical flamboyance and pretty chords, one that appeals on a mainstream level, while presenting itself as something slightly cleverer and 'a cut above'. And yet, the music has nothing to beyond the surface level of where we find it. It merely just, exists.
Jacob is unreal. It's like he's been genetically bred and trained from day one to be this amazing musician. On top of this he seems to be this incredibly happy and pleasant person. It's just too much.
I've never been one for hyperbole, but I'd nearly say Jacob is some sort of Angel of Music on earth. I've been playing all my life, I've enjoyed music all my life. Jacob is up there with a very rare few, but the wildest part is he is the one who makes me feel emotions when I listen, and I'm a hard, cold, scarred person when it comes to that.
@@thelouisjohnson Yes he talked about that note in his livestream with Charlie Puth, they were talking about the minor iv chord, and that playing the 4th scale degree over that chord was underrated and no one ever plays it. But this part is my favorite part of the song, its also right after the bright II chord, which is a beautiful contrast.
Cliche is not always bad! On one side there is cliche like Nickelback and on the other side there is cliche like Devin Townsend - Life (live in Plovdiv)
This song does kinda borrow from the Starry Starry Night (Don McLean) cliché. Even tho the commenter obviously mean that their own sentiment was cliché, the song itself references a sort of cliché way to express this sentiment. Perhaps "a widely if subliminally understood shorthand that can help musically support his communication of a feeling" would be a better way for me to put it than "cliché". That word can have some negative "mailing it in" connotations, and I didn't mean it that way. I meant in in the sense of the phrase I put in quotes. You could also call it "musical subtext". This is meant as a compliment. It's a skill, not a defect.
I love how Iconic Jacob is!! There is no one like him. It’s exciting to see someone with a pure childlike spirit just doing what he loves. As always the music is angelic almost and amazing. Thanks for sharing your gifts with the world. ✨✨✨
I experience Jacob's music as pop/rnb music with added complexity. There are familiar sounds and melodies but he finds ways to translate far more complex ideas and thoughts through plaing modified notes and expressing a doubt with a change in sung lyrics. I like it.
I‘m stunned by how I suddenly find myself holding my breath cause Jacob manages to stimulate my brain by slight but exactly the right changes of harmony. Wt the flip

I'd lie if I'd say I did not have a crush on every single musical perfomance of him
See you april 26th at House of Blues in Orlando!!! My wife and I bought tics 1 year ago!!! We are so looking forward to enjoying your amazing talent!!! Im an artist myself and to me, you are a GOD!!! Much love brother! ❤️❤️❤️
I'm so jealous that you're going; I live over here, too! Only reason why I'm not going is because it's on a work night! But I want to see him after Volume 4 comes out when he goes on tour for that!
Bought my tickets 2 years ago for Orlando, so finally getting to see him live next month. And then I have Beth Hart two days later in St. Pete. Gonna be a good week.
This is the custom 5 string guitar Jacob had Taylor make for him, optimized for the funny tuning he likes to use. He always has played down his guitar playing, but really he approaches it very unconventionally to suit his taste. There are guitarists who can do more with their instrument than he can, but he's certainly very effective with what he's going for!
This is such a moving and perfect musical adventure, he puts a couple of weird dissonant chords in there for contrast and somehow it works perfectly. I dare say no one can do that!!!! A musical demigod!!!
@@florianbeguin Hey, do you know what kind of guitar that is? I’ve never heard of a guitar with only five strings, and I’ve been playing full-time professionally for 27+ years. I’d love to figure out the tuning he’s using
@@davidbrucemusicvideo Taylor made this guitar only for him, it’s the only one existing atm. However I have no idea about the tuning he’s using sorry !
The phenomena of you sharing your heart and soul is truly breathtaking! Thank you! Your raw perspective deserves the world's attention and adoration. I hope that you receive respect and love forevermore. 💘🌚💖
Jacob plays music, he doesn't perform. It's a game and you get to feel like your playing it right alongside him. Thanks for showing me a part of this fun little musical world you inhabit!
Jacob, you are a huge inspiration to me! This composition is so beautiful! How did you get that guitar to sound like a harpejji? Is it really light gauge strings + tapping?
@@auroras_iz I understand what you’re saying now. Actually, the way it’s spelled is capo. You may be a new guitar player, so I understand the confusion. But it’s definitely capo. 🧡
The sun is in your eyes The sun is in your eyes Throw me the cold Throw me the cold, cold water of your smile again To take me by surprise You take me by surprise Throw me the bold Throw me the bold, bold treasure of your lips again And where I go you'll lead me in the right direction And with your love as my protection I'll be a world of your projection And where I go singing songs of your affection With rhymes to your perfection In my eyes, see your reflection of you I see it clearly now I'll hold you dearly now The sun is in my eyes

can you elaborate on "hey c'mon kids" energy?
Jacob Collier plays so many instruments with such mastery that you'd think each one was his main instrument
The most talented musician of our times-
Likely ahead of the times-
A true artist.
You must not like music
Hahahahhahahahaha
He’s definitely nowhere close to being a top song writer
@@yaseenbradley9829 bit harsh don't u think. that's his opinion

How is he *such* a good guitarist on top of everything else
whats hes doing is really easy. Not taking away from his talent but just being honest.
His musical sense can be transferred to any instrument.
@@ATLTraveler ha !! Oh yeah? You know nothing friend.
@@mattmorris2867 calm down bud, christ.
@@ATLTraveler you’ve been commenting on him in a negative way on other threads. Just gets a bit boring.
The x factor in Denmark was just live with one of the participants performing All I Need, so this matched my mood perfectly. Thank you jacob

1:55 such a wonderfully clever choice of note. I'm in awe.
I thought you were going for 1:33 with the unusual note choice.
@@StuartQuinn Haha that one is unusual, didn't find it as hauntingly effective though!

@@henkdevries2002 he sings the 3rd though
@@1998XBOX I was talking about the first note on the word 'now' at around 1:55 where he sings ''I hold you dearly now''.
How can one man make you feel so unintentionally incompetent yet blessed at the same time?
Thank you Jacob for being just you.
Wonderful!!! I am surprised to hear how much his guitar playing has improved, his voice also is becoming more mature and pleasant
His guitar runs are fantastic.
I do not really think it improved, I think he just invested more than 2 min on the guitar...
he does play 20+ instruments afterall ......
@@moadharfa500 I think he spent a couple more minutes during sound check)

Good technique but no soul
@@unholylemonpledge9730 Good bait, good bye
The crowd cheering as soon as he says “the sun is in your eyes” is the cutest thing I've seen all day.
I've listened to this song 100 times, but every rendetion he does is just as amazing the first. Can't wait for him to visit my city!
There no way this man exist, he just redefines what music is its his own genre of music. So dynamic
One of the most beautiful songs I've heard in my life...
ok you made me cry....I hope you had good childhood and all this in your eyes is happiness and not darkness...
Just met him. What a nice surprise.
I love how Iconic Jacob is!! There is no one like him. It’s exciting to see someone with a pure childlike spirit just doing what he loves. As always the music is angelic almost and amazing. Thanks for sharing your gifts with the world. ✨✨✨
This guy is from other planet💫
He is from a whole other world!!!!
just red through the lyrics, and it was beautiful
Radiant son, just like sunshine 💖
This guy is the REAL deal.
the flow drifts and turns
I can finally say that I was at this concert! It was unreal! Magical!
You truly bless me Jacob. I get so dark sometimes. You bring the light. Thank you, Jacob.
I’m willing to say that he is the most talented musician in the world right now.
How about Cory Henry to challenge this :)
I experience Jacob's music as pop/rnb music with added complexity. There are familiar sounds and melodies but he finds ways to translate far more complex ideas and thoughts through plaing modified notes and expressing a doubt with a change in sung lyrics. I like it.
that "of you" has made this my favorite rendition of the song.
the timing was perfect. it was so sweet, so understated, so humble.
Sometimes you can be virtuosic or beautiful but not both. Jacob manages to be both always.
Thrust both my hands up at that final chord. Such a simple, yet beautiful resolution. Thank you Jacob
not just instrumentally brilliant but LYRICALLY spot on as well... be inspired people to be alive at the same time as this gift of a human being.

Hey fellow year-in-advance ticket buyer 😎👍 seeing him at one of his UK gigs this summer. Gonna be amazing.
It's probably one of my favourites Jacob's songs

Just jamming at stage with a smile at his face 🖤
Well, we had Mozart, Bach, Beethoven, Rachmaninoff and so on. So, at last, our generation got real outstanding musician! Lucky we! Woo-hoo!
i can never get enough of this song bcs its too short😭😭😭
This is such a moving and perfect musical adventure, he puts a couple of weird dissonant chords in there for contrast and somehow it works perfectly. I dare say no one can do that!!!! A musical demigod!!!
this song on a 12 string guitar would be incredible
But he makes it sound incredible with 5, why bother having more strings haha

Not only does he naturally tear that guitar up but he sings exceptionally well to say the least. Just Fabulous!🖤
Every bit of this performance is so beautiful it makes me want to cry. All that's left to say is Thank you.
This is so far probably the most beautiful love song I've ever heard, and Jacob Collier musicality is absolutely out of this world. Thank you ❤️
I LOVE THIS. You are such a brilliant starlight, Jacob! Thank you.
The highlight of my year seeing this performance live!
Again, truly beautiful, I melt every time you sing, such control and intelligence, so musical, thank you Jacob for sharing
So much beauty Jacob.
Jacob Collier is the great musician of our generation!
How did he manage to amass so many abilities by such a young age?
The way you play the guitar here is like the sun is in my eyes :)
The phenomena of you sharing your heart and soul is truly breathtaking! Thank you! Your raw perspective deserves the world's attention and adoration. I hope that you receive respect and love forevermore. 💘🌚💖
SO GOOD
Jacob, you brought back the light in to my grey Life
I need to see him live. This is amazing! The guitar playing is so beautiful
Brilliant and beautiful. Thank you Jacob!
Cool, you here. I've seen he had subscribed to your channel as well. Are you guys in exchange?
@@antoniusnies-komponistpian2172 That would be fantastic! Jacob is amazing. But sadly, no, we have not.
JC killing it as usual. You make us feel good so thank you and we are selfish and want mooaaarrrrrr!
hey thanks man
I love how this went from a random sketch he posted online to one of people's favorites of his.
Sometimes I really wish I could see Jacob in a fantasy movie as an elf with magic music or sum’n. 🧝♂️🎶✨
He is music itself.
Pressing the like button is not enough. I need a loooooove this button.
Very beautiful! I instantly thought of Starry Starry Nigh- by Don Mclean 💕💕💕
1:30 threw me off. Fantastic!
Exactly.. so much beauty

Pure love. You are a harmonic English genius.
Jacob, you are a huge inspiration to me! This composition is so beautiful! How did you get that guitar to sound like a harpejji? Is it really light gauge strings + tapping?
I think it boils down to the piezo pickup + playing very close to the neck + lots of legato
Also, he’s using a capo, which is why the strings sound different.

Can't wait to see you and hear this song in Barcelona ❤️
Jacob Collier you are wonderful creation of the Universe. Thanks so much for your inspiration is contagiuos
I love this song it instantly went on my playlist when I heard it first 😁😁
Edit: that fast guitar part was insane!!
Brilliant song! Brilliant dude!

Me screaming in the street when Jacob drops Djesse Vol. 4 news
No war! Regards from Poland.
He is Music in Human Form.
This is my favorite video on UA-cam. It’s a daily must-watch.
An absolute masterwork and what a great inspiration
He just might be a Wizard.
Boundless talent! Jacob, you're a marvel!
I’m getting more and more certain that when I see you perform live I’m not gonna be the same after!!
I saw it 5 times now. So I guess, another 20 times, and I might get a little bit of what is going on... Amazing talent!
This song is so gorgeous
Dude you are like a lightning bolt in the music world.
This is beautiful Jacob
The sun is in your eyes
The sun is in your eyes
Throw me the cold
Throw me the cold, cold water of your smile again
To take me by surprise
You take me by surprise
Throw me the bold
Throw me the bold, bold treasure of your lips again
And where I go you'll lead me in the right direction
And with your love as my protection
I'll be a world of your projection
And where I go singing songs of your affection
With rhymes to your perfection
In my eyes, see your reflection of you
I see it clearly now
I'll hold you dearly now
The sun is in my eyes
I absolutely love him
Just imagine the kinda shit that is gonna come out of this man as he develops over the next 10, 20, 50 years....
He surely is a musical genius ✨🎶
How come I only came to know of this genius just now ?
completely and utterly beautiful!
He is unusually talented.
That was lovely, Jacob! 💗
Can’t wait to see you in Dallas
More clips from this show please!
So aware of what you‘re doing!
Thanks for your perfection- and thanks for my reaction- the sun is in our eyes :)
Stunning. 👏
i freaking love him
my absolute favourite song by him and this video is just pure gold
