    Jacob...
    After watching this once at work yesterday (and barely holding myself together), I decided that I'll hook this up to the living room screen and the sound system after dinner later that night and invite the family to watch/listen. My three teen/preteen kids usually wander off to their rooms or elsewhere in the house but I asked them to stick around. Everyone in the family knows the Coldplay original.
    So there we were, all five of us: myself, my wife, and the kids. There was a bit of whispered chatter between my daughters, the oldest and the youngest of the three, but it quickly died out when you started singing the first verse. My son, the middle child, was on his phone but immediately put it away, too.
    For six minutes after that there was an absolute pin drop silence in the room. At the end, my daughters were hugged together and in silent tears. My wife had snuggled up to me and she was a mess as well. My 16 year old son had his head in both hands, with a 'woah!' look on his face as he turned to me, while I was with watery eyes and smiling back at them all. A few long seconds passed until my youngest daughter, 12, whispered, "Please play it again."
    We watched it twice more. Everyone in the room will never forget that evening in a very, very long time.
    Thank you, sir.

      @johningram2153 4 роки тому

      Yeah, but that’s pretty consistent with the original. Based on where the key he chose sits on his register, he has the choice to sing this part really high or really low. And this time, he chose low. It’s not unusual to hear Jacob sing quite low, in a way that is accurate but maybe not hugely moving. I like it, but it’s not exceptional to me.

    • @hazzmando
      @hazzmando 4 роки тому

      @@johningram2153 close with the terminology. On a stringed instrument a 'hammer on' is when you change your fringering on an already vibrating string to sound a higher note, i.e. hammering with your finger on the string. A 'pull off' is the opposite; you pull your finger off to sound a lower note. Doing a hammer on then pull off on a pair of notes is a 'trill'. 'Tapping' is hammer ons and pull offs without plucking the string first, and usually uses both hand on the neck of the instrument.

He worked for coldplay for many many years, most of my life (I'm 22 now) and at his funeral I did a cover of the scientist because that was his favourite song of theirs. Today has been particularly hard for me and i've been unable to do my uni assignments but stumbling across this today has really helped me. You've created such a beautiful version Jacob and finding this has made my day.

    i was reading some comments on reddit on a group that was just dissing Jacob in everyway possible from his voice to what they call over-complicated voicings. Let me say the one common theme I saw in those comments was that none of those people had "hope". In fact it seemed that they had the opposite of hope. They didn't like the feeling of memory, reflection and nostalgia that some of his music evokes. Jacob brings such love and empathy to everything he touches and there are those that think that is outdated? Old fashioned? How can anyone say that after listening to this masterpiece. I find myself coming back to this rendition daily and each time I think I can get through it, I start crying. I read some of the comments in this feed, and start crying from those. I am so happy to have Jacob Collier in this world. He can't be from this planet, as he is to joyous and wonderous. I think it's fine when someone doesn't like an artist's music, but when trolls on the internet want to spew their hatred for any artist, I find it so disheartening. I look for the people who redeem humanity, and Jacob Collier, you are one of them.

    When you feel so tired, but you can't sleep
    Stuck in reverse
    And the tears come streaming down your face
    When you lose something you can't replace
    When you love someone, but it goes to waste
    How can it be worse?
    Lights will guide you home
    And ignite your bones
    And I will try to fix you
    And high up above or down below
    When you're too in love to let it go
    But if you never try you'll never know
    Just what you're worth
    Lights will guide you home
    And ignite your bones
    And I will try to fix you
