I love how Jacob disorients us with several key changes 5:00 singing “you” and makes us search for the way through…and then 6:05 the fog clears with “lights will guide you home” as the key settles. He’s a painter with his vocal colour, gentle touch, unique harmonisation and modulations. He doesn’t “play” instruments but rather speaks through them. Thank you Jacob, so beautifully you.
It's like he takes the original song, and build a language out of that, then proceed to write poetry with that language and make an emotional response to the original message. He is truly wired differently. I love your channel cause we can talk about this deep topics, and also life, and pain. Much love to You Jeff, You are awesome.
Thank you Steve for the request and thank you Jeff for playing this song. I know how meaningful it is to you. And Mr. Collier, thank you for the heartfelt message and the lovely rendition.
Jeff, I’m completely overwhelmed by everything. But I really hope others pay attention to what you’ve done for me this week and since we’ve known each other at the beginning of this journey. The step you’ve taken to share music, perspective and engage nearly everyone who visits your channel is a life enriching and changing thing - and what I wish for others. Everyday this week, a new song and story that just made the journey less brutal. You are a very special guy, Jeff. Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers and encouragement. It is so greatly appreciated. And oh btw - just another great, great reaction. Jason sometimes dazzles us with so many things at once it can be overwhelming. But place him on a simple canvas of piano and voice - and look what he does. It’s a genius we are so fortunate to experience.
Steve, Thanks for your inspiring generosity to others during this challenging time. I have always appreciated Jacob’s rendition of this song which helped lift me through my chemo days. My prayers go with you.
I feel like I know you since Jeff talks about you all the time. He tells me of the warrior you are! You are my hero too! From what Jeff tells me you will kick cancer’s ass! Your generosity to others is so selfless and honorable. Thinking of others during this trying time is inspiring and I told Jeff that I would only hope I could be so strong and to think of others before myself. I send healing prayers your way! Thank you for requesting such a beautiful song!
Steve...what can I say...you have a family here and we are all in your corner as you fight this. I so look forward to when you're on the other side of this (sooner than later!).
@@ironkim3998Thank you IronKim. I’m so touched by those words and by the two of you. And could not be more happy you too just had an incredible vacation minus the ending. ❤️
Wow! He made this his own yet kept enough of the song entact! I am in awe of this young man! So wise and caring for all! So beautiful it had me in tears several times. I just requested the SNL version by Coldplay In which he was part of! He showed such genuine joy on stage that was so endearing. He is a giving person with such deep empathy. Thanks Steve for the suggestion and Jeff for a compassionate reaction ❤
It seems that Jacob´s physical presence is for us just to have a visible picture for the musical and emotional universal entity he is. Can you imagine sitting somewhere in a room crammed with stuff and you are able to reach out to the world in the way he does? I can´t... but I am thankful he does. Jeff, you are doing the same with your channel from the start with your empathic and impulsive personality. Steve, I wish you all the best and all the power you need to overcome that beast! And thank you for your generosity and your input to make this small community a better place.
Steve, my thoughts and prayers are with you. I am sure there are many others that echo my words. Jeff, I am sure that Steve appreciates your friendship and support.
Thanks you Jeff, for this very moving piece of music (peace in music) by Jacob, one of my music-heroes. I normally don´t like music with lyrics too much, particularly when they are not in my mother tongue, but in this case it´s not necessary to understand every single word... you can feel it/I can feel it. And all my thoughts are with Steve
Steve, such a lovely, gesture and a true testament to the kinds of decency, strength and goodness we should all aspire too. Thank you. Jeff a beautiful reaction to a beautiful evocation of the profound power of music. This is a testament to the spirit of the community that has been drawn to you. So as always thank you too.
I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you so much, for your sensitivity...you see what truly matters, and describe it perfectly. Big hugs from Portugal
how can i listen to this 3 times in a night and tears every time this ability needs to be both taught and rationed imagine the coke advert this could write !!!
@@SteveEshleman You are part of our family...albeit a virtual one. Please let me know if there is any possible way that I could be of benefit to you. I am sure others will offer you the same love. You have a lovely friend in Jeff.
@@SteveEshleman Steve, No further words needed. Just know that we, as a cohesive community, are in our thoughts and please accept our virtual love. Yes, you are my friend and brother as well.
If you haven't seen it, the BBC aired a documentary feature on Jacob last year. It does a great job giving an overview of Jacob's accomplishments and his career so far. It features interviews with people like Chris Martin, Quincy Jones, Herbie Hancock, Hans Zimmer and others. ua-cam.com/video/ERvd5QjupSU/v-deo.html As you can imagine, Quincy and Herbie were astounded when they first saw some of Jacob's videos that he posted as a teenager. Quincy told his people to stop whatever they were doing and to find him!
Hey, would love to see your reaction on Tom Ball. He was a BGT contestant and went on to AGT: All Stars. He has an amazing voice and his renditions on Creep by radiohead and Sound of silence were truly amazing. Just some video ideas for you :)

I watched this multiple times now and it moves me deeply each time

So well said Z! Thank you so much for you words.

He is a marvel. An old man like me is completely blown away.

This cuts straight through to the heart and his introduction was very well said. Jacob is truly special to say the least.
Thank you, Jeff. And thank you, Steve - Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Not sure if you noticed or were aware but Jacob was also on stage with Coldplay for the SNL performance that you watched recently.
I did see him in there
Imagine a Skeb and Jacob collab doin this tune.
Also, thanks Steve for the request!
That would be epic!
Gah damn. Steve, I know I don’t know you, but I feel for you brother 😭 🫂
