Estive no concerto do Salvador Sobral no Porto (Portugal) e adorei ouvir a Lau ao vivo. Já conhecia esta canção, mas adorei ainda mais ao vivo (e deve ser ainda mais especial com o Jacob). Gracias, Lau! 💖
If a tree falls in love with a river 'Cause the sun makes her golden and bright Can the tree understand and forgive her For the darkness she carries at night? For the darkness she carries at night? If the spring makes her eyes green with laughter And the winds brush her hair from the skies Will he love her as well moments after In the winter when everything dies? In the wintеr when everything diеs? And would he notice her face when it changes And her water turns into a sea? Or would he deem her a liar, a stranger? Praise forever who she used to be? Praise forever who she used to be? ’Cause a tree stands too still for a river And a river's too wild for a tree Would he cut off his roots to be with her? Would she ever give up on the sea? Would she ever give up on the sea? Would he aim to maintain his desire For a swamp that can no longer dance? If he were to be thrown in the fire In her eyes, he would not stand a chance In her eyes, he would not stand a chance But in the fall, he could stand from a distance Leaves of red so they dance on her hairs And she could show him proof of her existence When the summer rain kisses his lips When the summer rain kisses his lips 'Cause a tree stands too still for a river And a river is too wild for a tree He would not cut his roots to be with her And she’d never give up on the sea She would never give up on the sea
The lyrics strike me so hard with it's honesty. It's crazy how much it conveys in a simple story about a river and a tree. Thank you for the beautiful music
I wish each of you has a river or a tree in your Life. A deeply truely beloved and a love that can not come true but still while listening to a song like this does make your mind fly into a world of fantasy where living together could have happened if only… 🌳🌊.
I''ve just found this and played it 10 times. How wildly familiar and yet also incredibly new and refreshing. Tight harmonies and incredible musicality. Simply a perfect little tune.
This is so beautiful. It sounds like it should be played in a coffee shop. Also, the harmonies were AMAZING! Thank both of you for making this masterpiece and I hope you can make an appearance in Djesse 4!!
How indescribably powerful those last lines were that without accompaniment brought the perfect denouement to this gift of a song. It caught me completely off-guard as I stood next to the register at the grocery store with earphones in, holding my phone in one hand, money in the other while staring into the middle distance. Luckily the cashier was busy in the back, but I am sure he noticed the glisten in my eyes. Thank you two for bringing beauty into our lives 💛
Quan el talent, la maestria, la creativitat i el virtuosisme s'ajunten amb l'admiració mútua, amb el treball, la il·lusió i l'amistat es produeix la màgia que té aquesta peça. Quanta bellesa en tot el que hi ha: text, melodia, harmonia, veus, delicadesa de guitarres... Tot esdevé comunicació i els milers de receptors que tenim la sort de captar tot això som una mica més feliços. Gràcies Lau & Jacob. Grans artistes fent art junts. Un luxe per a la humanitat.
Dear Lau Noah, “if a tree falls in love with a river” has been playing throughout the hours of the day, it fulfills the space so gently and so fully. it is “balsamo” to those who listen to it, thank you for sharing your immense being through story-telling and this song. so much love.
When a tree falls in love with a river, the universe stops, time doesn't run and my heart'd like not to stop feeling this beautiful melody. Magnificent song and wonderful performance by two great geniuses!! Thans a lot for your existence.🤗💌
I'm close to 61 yo, and are so happy to see and discover young artists, that make and performing their music just for the purpose of the joy of making beautiful moments like this. This piece is in the same range as f.ex. "sometimes it rains in April" and #looking for the heart of Saturday night"...
"And she could show him proof of her existence when the summer rain kisses his lips" I'm not sure if they say "lips" or "leaves" but definitely is a precious ambiguity
I've loved your music since I first heard it on your tiny desk appearance. I also really love Jacob's music. This is a really beautiful collaboration. Hope to be able to hear you live one day.
A New meaning of the concept of a song, in times when melody, harmony and content is reduced to corporative taste... Gracias Lau como dijo Ana N... "música para el alma"
Who is this lady and how has she collaborated with both Jacob Collier and Adam Neely within four months? And the post-song dialogue... we need that in more songs
Your " If A Tree Fallls In Love With A River" original is nicely performed Lau & Jacob. I am an french Author/Composer & I can propose you beautiful melodies (All Copyrighted) Wish you a pleasant weekend ahead. Kind regards....Bernard🌌.
Jacob should do much more of *this!* I dont like him performing solo. That's too much self-presentation and too little soul. He could be a great producer.

This absolutely needs to be heard by thousands more people immediately it's so incredible
A transcription of this would be killer!
This song helped me go through some tough times.
It sounded like it was made it for me.
So deep, so special.
🤝❤️🐝

How is this not getting more attention. So beautiful and shiny
If a tree falls in love with a river
'Cause the sun makes her golden and bright
Can the tree understand and forgive her
For the darkness she carries at night?
For the darkness she carries at night?
If the spring makes her eyes green with laughter
And the winds brush her hair from the skies
Will he love her as well moments after
In the winter when everything dies?
In the wintеr when everything diеs?
And would he notice her face when it changes
And her water turns into a sea?
Or would he deem her a liar, a stranger?
Praise forever who she used to be?
Praise forever who she used to be?
’Cause a tree stands too still for a river
And a river's too wild for a tree
Would he cut off his roots to be with her?
Would she ever give up on the sea?
Would she ever give up on the sea?
Would he aim to maintain his desire
For a swamp that can no longer dance?
If he were to be thrown in the fire
In her eyes, he would not stand a chance
In her eyes, he would not stand a chance
But in the fall, he could stand from a distance
Leaves of red so they dance on her hairs
And she could show him proof of her existence
When the summer rain kisses his lips
When the summer rain kisses his lips
'Cause a tree stands too still for a river
And a river is too wild for a tree
He would not cut his roots to be with her
And she’d never give up on the sea
She would never give up on the sea
Thank you for this!
So brilliant ❣️
I wish I could tell them they're the river
I'm just going to take a few minutes to think about how beautiful it is that this now exists in the world.
The lyrics strike me so hard with it's honesty. It's crazy how much it conveys in a simple story about a river and a tree. Thank you for the beautiful music

I''ve just found this and played it 10 times. How wildly familiar and yet also incredibly new and refreshing. Tight harmonies and incredible musicality. Simply a perfect little tune.
I am so happy to find that such poetry, melody, and harmony still exist in songs released nowadays
Saw Lau play this opening for Chris Thile in Berlin. Beautiful song!
This is so beautiful. It sounds like it should be played in a coffee shop. Also, the harmonies were AMAZING! Thank both of you for making this masterpiece and I hope you can make an appearance in Djesse 4!!
It's not enough to klick the like. This is TOO MUCH. So heartfelt, so much love

This song is absolutely beautiful! The melody and lyrics are so moving, it's a masterpiece for the soul. Can't stop listening!
This is one of the most beautiful songs ive ever heard. Its a blessing on this earth and generous gift to this human world.
Amen! Incredible.
Neat how at 2:19 they switch so Jacob is the upper voice.
exaaaaaaaactly so perfect
What a wonderful duet with Jacob!! You blend so well...just lovely!!👏🎶
impossibly brilliant
I saw Lau supporting Ben Folds in York last night. Amazing and spellbinding performance
las 🐐
One of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard
aside from the absolutely mesmerizing songwriting,
the film-making in this video is also not to be understated.
Just pure art in its entirety
Goosebumps! I hear in your voice the great folk singers of old, Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez...
Bajó Nick Drake del cielo y me dijo en un sueño que ustedes dos entendieron todo.
¡Gracias por esto!
It's been my favourite song for the latest months, I keep coming back to it and I'm trying to learn it, lovely song, many thanks 💖

Baffled how this isn't more popular! Incredible song and their voices are a perfect match
Dear Lau Noah,
“if a tree falls in love with a river” has been playing throughout the hours of the day, it fulfills the space so gently and so fully. it is “balsamo” to those who listen to it, thank you for sharing your immense being through story-telling and this song. so much love.

This sounds like extremely intricate 50s music!!!! So killer!!

Linda mesmo. E a que canta com o Salvador Sobral tambem é muito linda
thank you so much. i'm in love with the river and the tree
This is amazing
These lyrics are surely the work of god damn genius
This is probably my favourite song. More people need to hear it!!
The poetry, melodies, harmony, accompaniment and everything about it are just immaculate
"And she could show him proof of her existence when the summer rain kisses his lips"
I'm not sure if they say "lips" or "leaves" but definitely is a precious ambiguity
He's look of quiet joy at the end, says everything about him.
It has a little Beatle/Paul Mccartney vibes. Really great!
This is so beautiful!
Another reminder that we all are connected with love and consciousness….
Incredibly beautiful.
Que hermosa canción. Gracias tanto
This is so beautiful. There is also something so sad about it.
Notableeee
Added to tab 23. ❤️

coisa mais linda da face da terra do mundo do universo meu deus ajuda
24/08/2024: yesterday I made it back to Con Hall
A New meaning of the concept of a song, in times when melody, harmony and content is reduced to corporative taste...
Gracias Lau
como dijo Ana N... "música para el alma"
Who is this lady and how has she collaborated with both Jacob Collier and Adam Neely within four months?
And the post-song dialogue... we need that in more songs
Don't forget she's collaborated with Brad Mehldau and Chris Thile as well
@@james_subosits Well I didn't know that
I can visualize a music video of this song with Daniel Bruson’s painting
Precisely how Jacob's voice was meant to be used.
si
Very Molly Drake

Tranquille tu fais ta pub toi
Jacob should do much more of *this!*
I dont like him performing solo. That's too much self-presentation and too little soul. He could be a great producer.
this is pretty decent folks :)
