he's extremely talented and combines lots of different genres but I wouldn't say it's a new genre. the middle section of this song is clearly inspired by Parliament
@@laurencelong I think if you've heard enough Parliament you'd know what I'm talking about, he's really not afraid to wear his influences on his sleeve lol
Having depression makes me feel super empty all the time. Like every second of my day is just blah. This song had me smiling and feeling from the start. It feels good to just feel :)
Lorelei well done for putting that out there. I've been in the blackest of holes and music always pulls me out. Don't feel bad for feeling bad was what a friend said to me once and I've always carried that statement with me. I remind myself that I am going to feel bad sometimes and that's not a true reflection of my complete person but only the depressed and anxious person that rears its head sometimes. I am more valuable than my anxious and depressive moments. Much care and love from the UK Jay ☺️
The lyrics really help me feel better too. So simple and true. I need somebody who understands my soul.... Keep in motion. Stay unspoken. If Im broken. Keep me open.
I'd never heard of Jacob Collier until 2 days ago, and I've been in a real low, and after having listened mum noticed me smile for the first time in a while. Its nice to find something that carries such emotional weight :) Nice to see I'm not alone in that
So, now you know you have a vessel for inside you that responds to this and therefore has it's shape. Build on that. (Disclaimer: I'm just another crazy uncle and not a therapist. Do discuss my recommendation with a properly licensed health-care professional.)
I don't think I've ever seen a crazier music video in my life! Jacob, your level of music and visual artistry is ridiculous. Thanks for enriching the world with it!
Multi-instrumentalist, odd time signatures, choral arrangements... This guy kinda nails everything. And you know he’s gonna get groovy and skanky when he’d put his bear hat.
You are capable. We are all capable. "Keep in motion, Stay unspoken, When I'm broken, Keep me open." We just have to be open. Change starts with loving yourself, as you are. Your strengths AND weaknesses. After that, you will see there is no difference, from you and me. Only parts of a whole, sent to be. You have all the tools you need within. So what's stopping you? Begin.
@@lamusicacomountodo4396 I see you making a lot of Zappa comments in this video. Zappa didn't "invent" these people but inspired, in the same way Zappa is influenced by other musicians.
I think he needs to do music with other people, some of the greatest musicians had their best periods sou rounded with other artists. As great as he is as a musician his music is lacking the human factor, and gets lost in all his great musical display.
The way I interpret this song - and I could be completely wrong - is that it takes you on the wave of emotions that comes with falling in love, and wanting to lose control and go wild with this person (perhaps physically, but also in a life-adventure type of way). Falling in love in its purest sense is something so ecstatic and wild and joyous - there's the excitement of physical intimacy, the excitement this person gives you in your heart and mind, the joy it is to be loved by someone. They bring on the "butterflies in your stomach" kind of jitters, they bring this new adventure of learning about them and exploring life with them, the joy of holding their hand, being intimate, dancing with them. As someone who has had the fortune of falling in love with an amazing woman recently, I can attest to this personally. The vast differences in sections of this song speak to the different things love does to us - the unknown, the thrill, etc. What strikes me most about this interpretation is the ending (4:46). It goes from this wild, eclectic arrangement to a much simpler, solemn refrain. To me, it sounds like a request: "Keep in motion, stay unspoken. If I'm broken, keep me open." It hit me as a realization of your sense of vulnerability - that as much as you don't want to admit it and you just want to have things keep moving along as they have been (keep in motion, stay unspoken) - that's not all love is. The more you are with this person, the more they will see you - the REAL you. You will share in your deepest joys with them, the confusion and fun of not knowing how to make the relationship work but you'll do it anyway... but you will also share in your brokenness. To keep love of any kind alive, you have to be open despite the mess. Perhaps not a totally "accurate" interpretation, but after reviewing the lyrics and listening multiple times, musically and thematically this is how it made me feel. Thanks for reading if you made it this far :) more importantly, enjoy Jacob Collier's outstanding musical arrangements. A true class act.
love. I remember a video from lianne la habas had a very similar picture, looking yourself at a broken mirror and suddenly watching everything clear. I have had this moments too, everyone really, when you just "get it" and could not be more simple, its a manic sensation, just like pure love and extasis at once but all comes to an end, and you shatter... nothing is like it used to be. "Keep in motion, stay unspoken. If I'm broken, keep me open." hits me as a prayer to move on even if you are shattered, because frankly we all are.
Wow! I don't understand what just happened... but I liked it! Keep up the amazing work Jacob. You are dragging music forward and forcing us to think and rethink. You're a true pioneer.
Rethink what? Doing acid again and making stupid nonsense? This is being a pioneer? No... I’m all for new stuff but this is recycled garbage. This was such a clusterfuck... you even said yourself that you don’t understand it... maybe because a lot of it’s not coherent lol really don’t understand what’s so special about this guy. He’s a talented musician but the clusterfuck of everything just kills it for me
Nick Fusco, Off to see what kind of music you have either created, or listen to. Surely you are onto some next level secret shit that is mortals aren't privvy to...
Little did we know this was the seed of all the themes expressed in Djesse Vol. 4 (even the cover art being from a glass sculpture!!) I know I am broken, so let me stay open as well
Andrew Huang, Adam Neely, Daniel Thrasher, Insaneintherainmusic, and Yosuto all in the same comment section. Only one artist could bring them all together!
I think this is a song that you need to listen to 3 or 4 times before it gets really good. I'm listening to this for what must be the tenth time now and it's better than it ever has been. Everything feels like it makes more sense because of the mere exposure effect (and maybe some other stuff too) and I still get to enjoy all the amazing sounds.
But that's the thing: repitition justifies (almost) anything to our mind. It's debatable whether it's a good thing to make stuff that Needs that repitition to be enjoyed. If it's 3-4 times its prob ok tho.
@@АлександрБагмутов repetition legitimizes if the repetition is legitimate. Listening to a song multiple times isn't the same as having something happen in a song multiple times. Many songs get boring or annoying after many listens, this one, for me, does not.
I got no wings to fly, no song to sing No hand to hold, no star to guide No tears to cry, no fire to burn No sky above, no Hell below me No wind behind me, no path before me No chains around me, no fear within me But with the love in my heart, somehow I found you But with the love in my heart, somehow I found you He said "I need somebody understands my soul Somebody to tell me where to go And I don't wanna be traveling on my own" She said, "I'll be the one, let me come along" He said, "Do you wanna dance with me, do you wanna dance? I been sitting here too long And my bones feel old, but my feet still young" He said, "I've never met a girl I could hold so strong I'm never gonna do you wrong Now put your hands on me where they belong And boogie with me all night long" Boogie with me all night long Baby, won't you sing my song She said, "I need somebody who can move my feet" (Wiggle wiggle wiggle) "Someone to make my heart beat And I don't want you talking to me soft and sweet" He said, "I'll be the one to make you feel complete" She said, "Do you wanna sing with me, do you wanna sing? I been talking here too long How can your bones feel old with a voice so young?" She said, "Djesse got a sky like a, a merry-go-round But he don't ever make a sound Now put your hands on me, baby, touch the ground And give it to me up and down" I got no wings to fly me, no song to sing me No hand to hold me, no star to guide me No breeze to blow me, no tears to cry me No fire to burn me, no sea to sail me No sky above me, no Hell below me No wind behind me, no path before me No place to hide me, no lost to find me No chains around me, no fear within me No wings to fly me, no song to sing me No hand to hold me, no star to guide me No breeze to blow me, no tears to cry me No fire to burn me, no sea to sail me No sky above me, no Hell below me No wind behind me, no path before me No place to hide me, no lost to find me No chains around me, no fear within me No wings to fly me, no song to sing me No hand to hold me, no star to guide me No breeze to blow me, no tears to cry me No fire to burn me, no sea to sail me No sky above me, no Hell below me No wind behind me, no path before me No place to hide me, no lost to find me No chains around me, no fear within me But with the love in my heart, somehow, I found you If I tell you all about it (Oh) Would you tell me where to go?

@Ron Maimon sorry jacob's creativity is definitely facilitated by drugs to some degree, likely coke. how can a sober person create this? www.hajanga.com he was also clearly intoxicated in his iharmu with chris costa
Officially confirmed...Jacob is from another planet. This mind blowing music and mind boggling visuals are from a completely different realm. Exquisite,MAGNIFICENT,nutritious and TRULY DELICIOUS
@@deloreanized True but how many people do you know do things like this without planning? Thats why he is the Prince of Improvisation!!! And he's so cuteeee
This is some unorthodoxically good music. This track is bursting with colour. So many interesting sounds, rhythms and harmonies. His music gives you the feeling that it was made by a person who just likes to have fun with sound and see what comes out of it. Can't imagine where this kid is going to be in 10 years. I just hope he does not get sidetracked by all the distractions that come with fame because his future sure looks bight.
This truly made me realize so much within me. Your level of self understanding is so attainable. Meaning if you can do it anyone can. But your inspiration for ones motivation to find themselves is so deeply beautiful yet of course hard to grasp for most people. But for me... this is so incredibly deep if I put myself in your perspective. I'm truly in love with your creation Jacob. Thank you for all you do. It's helped me so much in better understanding our world.
I love this song. It gets real deep after the glass shattering snare shot. That last section is so vulnerable and honest. Every time I get to that section, the lyrics speak different meanings, paint different pictures, and evoke different emotions. Your music is many things in life, Jacob. So beautiful and brilliant. Thank you. Keep in motion Stay unspoken If I'm broken Keep me open
After the video ended I threw my piano out of the window and went to sleep. Jacob please leave us some space we need some recognition too and oh my lord this video production is pure diamond
Totally, magically, shatteringly brilliant. Musically, graphically, narratively, joyfully - a casket of Jacob's multi-faceted jewels. And deep thanks to Jules Buckley and his Metropole Orkest for their exquisite collaboration with the boy genius!
Coming back to this after more than a year, and it's gone form something really weird to something perfectly logical in my head. The way the music flows feel completely natural now. Jacob truly is gifted.
Jacob’s Law of Sound: If you wear a fur hat, it amplifies the stank effects of your bass by W (number of watts from amp) Times pi plus the gauge of the string. Edit: thanks for the likes holy crap. I forgot to take into account the stank effects of different pedals and the use of microtones. Im not sure of those formulas, but im sure other funkologists have the answer and appropriate formulas.
new upgrade: a fashionable wardrobe a weird japanese aesthetical cgi a super ultra hyper mega meta giant cube some memeable mimics mirrors (literally everywhere) unreal ecosystem and most importantly more jacobs
Absolutely adore this song. About an hour into a hike with my family, we stopped for a snack break. Bust out the bluetooth speaker, and boogied down to this song on an empty mountain trail. It was a great day! Thank you for this beautiful gift.
@@dontpanicprod0 I share your admiration of Jacob. I just think Disney doesn't even deserve him. Certainly, he could re-invent their sound in a way that still was identifiably Disney, I get that. Sorry in that I admit my comment was kind of a tangential disregard of your comment, that was rude of me.
@@mikeg3439 I respect your opinion as well, I personally believe he'd make the best music Disney has ever had and he'd make millions, but I also know that's not what he wants haha.
Thank you so much for expressing this. I haven't had the time or disposition to dig in that part of myself, that fragmented and lonely, yet lover, part of my soul. This song is like that white bird for me, a guide, or at least a clear sign amidst the "caos", that not for being "caos" is bad; just different and beautiful in it's own way and ways of, paradoxically, reaching cosmos.
This is amazingly trippy, but completely logical, tight, ... I don't know what else to say. It makes me feel all sorts of emotions including the tier 3 "Jacob Collier" emotion.
3:20 is one of the dankest, funkiest, slickest, powerful, delicious musical/beat explosions I’ve heard. It’s like a positive vibes version of dubstep mixed with funk.
i believe i’ve come to the conclusion that THIS song AND in my bones are the jacob collier songs that bring me the most joy. OH ALSO SLEEPING ON MY DREAMS DUH. a trio win. just sjdhjddgso cool. the creativity alone makes me so happy.
I feel the same ...(?) I mean it's pretty dang cool but it doesn't make sense but it does? It's like I feel uncomfortable listening to yet I keep on listening to it as if I want to find a way to somehow enjoy it lol
An interpretation. Only one of many possible interpretations. Imagine endeavoring to seek inside yourself for that special elusive "something," you know, the storied "thing that was inside you all along"? 0:20 Discovering that there is such a thing as "inside yourself" 0:35 Catching that first glimpse of that "elusive something" 0:48 Initially, when you see it, you just follow it and enjoy the journey. You feel whole, for a moment. 1:27 What was a saunter now becomes a run. It becomes less about the journey, and more about finding that "thing," wondering what it is, and how to fully grasp it. 2:16 [For the record, the "somebody" he/she needs to understand his soul doesn't have to be a person. It could be a "thing."] The chase feels good. As it should. Because you feel active. You feel like you have a goal. Often, people feel like they have a purpose just because they happen to be actively doing something. Even if it's not necessarily the right thing to do. 2:19 You love the chase, but things aren't really quite right around you. You're sacrificing your normalcy for the sake of the chase. It doesn't really matter to you, but to the rest of life around you, it's bothersome. Things start going crazy. To you, it's banality that's being disrupted, so you don't care. But to the universe around you, it's stability that's being disturbed. And it's an unworthy sacrifice. 2:54 The thing you're chasing leads you to the funk. After all, it should all lead to the funk. The groove. The sweet spot. 3:19 Stability? Who gives a crap anymore? I found the funk! 3:52 It feels good, but you can't stay in the funk forever. So, again, the journey takes a back seat. Again, it's all about the "thing." And now, finally, it's within reach. You lunge out to grab it, 4:40, and when you do, it shatters your psyche. Everything you've ever known about everything is turned on its head. The thing that was supposed to be your saving grace shatters your own stability. 4:46 So now you're left with nothing. No security. No simplicity. Just shattered remains of what once was. You do have a voice. Which doesn't sound so bad in theory, but imagine having a voice with nothing to say. You have the means to express what you feel, but not enough understanding to make it make sense to anyone. Hence, the shattered face with only the mouth lit up. 4:46 So what do you do when you can't talk about what you're going through? You "Keep in motion, stay unspoken." You just keep living. Keep being. And hope, that even with this new discovery, this new way of life, things will eventually start to fall in place and make sense again. 5:38 The experience you have gone through will never be as palpable to others as it was to you. So now, you're left to rationalize what's going on "inside yourself" with the life you live on the "outside." They'll never know, but you'll never forget it. 6:41. Cheers to the chase, Djesse.
I heard "no priest to blow me" the first few listens and thought he was making a political statement, until I finally heard it as "no breeze to blow me".
why do i remember the first time hearing this song in contempt and disdain and one month later i'm here again looking EXACTLY for this and i'm up on my feet screaming every groove and every time change? I'm so hooked! Too sad it took two times listening to this... i wish all songs were so elaborated so that our brains werent used to sleep throughout the whole song
How to make music like Jacob Collier : 1. Practice 2. Master your instrument 3. "I'm gonna practice other instrument" 4. Master other instruments 5. Learn jazz 6. Learn too much jazz 7. Learn way too many techniques 8. Become music genius 9. Record your song 10. Get high while you play 11. Hire a drunk MV director and editor
We need this vibe everywhere all the time 🙌 ✨🌈 Thank you Jacob! You’re truly a divine light, shining so bright for everyone! 💓🙏 peace and love to all. Keep your head up and heart open, we got this!!
The last act of this song is so dang soothing and the visuals are stunning. As a musician I feel my competitive nature but as a listener it's just so nice.
So, what kind of music do you listen to?
Me: Alternative progressive electronic funk jazz pop
Orchestral folk*
porno I love you
It has lots of Brazilian Beats in here ;)
Even has a piece with Amazon river
How’s the single life
I'm pretty sure Collier is his own music genre.
actually, this is kinda true xD
Agreed
Ehimetalor Akhere Unuabona you’ve said a mouth full! There is none like him.
he's extremely talented and combines lots of different genres but I wouldn't say it's a new genre. the middle section of this song is clearly inspired by Parliament

What are the other 2

Hey Andrew! Nice to see you enjoying this beauty also!

Woa... youre the real Andrew
Appreciate your work, you were the one who got me into the music creation world and I could not live without it :)

I've seen crazier. Traveling, Passion (Sanctuary), and Sakura Drops by Utada Hikaru and any pre-2018 video Kyary Pamyu Pamyu put out.
Take a look for one of Flying Lotus MV and you will get why Jacob listens his music (except the collaboration mv, it’s just okay and not trippy)
Alot of similar stuff visually in Time to Pretend by MGMT too

You are capable. We are all capable.
"Keep in motion,
Stay unspoken,

Keep me open."

from you and me.

Definitely agree. These types of songs usually end up as favorites after a few listens.
But that's the thing: repitition justifies (almost) anything to our mind. It's debatable whether it's a good thing to make stuff that Needs that repitition to be enjoyed. If it's 3-4 times its prob ok tho.
@@АлександрБагмутов repetition legitimizes if the repetition is legitimate. Listening to a song multiple times isn't the same as having something happen in a song multiple times. Many songs get boring or annoying after many listens, this one, for me, does not.
REPITITION LEGITIMIZES
Well, sorry that happened to you... I fell in love straight away. I guess I'm used to strange and difficult songs but I'm glad you ended up liking it
You: listens to many different music genres
Me, an intellectual: listens to them all at once
damn.
Well said my good man, well said 🙌🏽
I mean this still classifies as just pop no matter how much variety is in it but i like Jacob Collier too
xDD
Ma dure che solo pop e' da ......persone che non capiscono nulla😢
You know the bassline's gonna get stankier if you see him wearing that fur hat
Too true lmao
*furry hat
always
It's a Jacob law
Ya know. Bringing the funk
I got no wings to fly, no song to sing
No hand to hold, no star to guide
No tears to cry, no fire to burn
No sky above, no Hell below me
No wind behind me, no path before me
No chains around me, no fear within me
But with the love in my heart, somehow I found you
But with the love in my heart, somehow I found you
He said "I need somebody understands my soul
Somebody to tell me where to go
And I don't wanna be traveling on my own"
She said, "I'll be the one, let me come along"
He said, "Do you wanna dance with me, do you wanna dance?
I been sitting here too long
And my bones feel old, but my feet still young"
He said, "I've never met a girl I could hold so strong
I'm never gonna do you wrong
Now put your hands on me where they belong
And boogie with me all night long"
Boogie with me all night long
Baby, won't you sing my song
She said, "I need somebody who can move my feet"
(Wiggle wiggle wiggle)
"Someone to make my heart beat
And I don't want you talking to me soft and sweet"
He said, "I'll be the one to make you feel complete"
She said, "Do you wanna sing with me, do you wanna sing?
I been talking here too long
How can your bones feel old with a voice so young?"
She said, "Djesse got a sky like a, a merry-go-round
But he don't ever make a sound
Now put your hands on me, baby, touch the ground
And give it to me up and down"
I got no wings to fly me, no song to sing me
No hand to hold me, no star to guide me
No breeze to blow me, no tears to cry me
No fire to burn me, no sea to sail me
No sky above me, no Hell below me
No wind behind me, no path before me
No place to hide me, no lost to find me
No chains around me, no fear within me
No wings to fly me, no song to sing me
No hand to hold me, no star to guide me
No breeze to blow me, no tears to cry me
No fire to burn me, no sea to sail me
No sky above me, no Hell below me
No wind behind me, no path before me
No place to hide me, no lost to find me
No chains around me, no fear within me
No wings to fly me, no song to sing me
No hand to hold me, no star to guide me
No breeze to blow me, no tears to cry me
No fire to burn me, no sea to sail me
No sky above me, no Hell below me
No wind behind me, no path before me
No place to hide me, no lost to find me
No chains around me, no fear within me
But with the love in my heart, somehow, I found you
If I tell you all about it (Oh)
Would you tell me where to go?
And if all I know is nothing (Oh)
Would you tell me what I know?
If I tell you all about it (Tell me all about it)
Would you tell me where to go?
And if all I know is nothing (Tell them all about it)
Would you tell me what I know?
He said, "I need somebody make me lose control"
Keep in motion, stay unspoken
And if I'm broken, keep me open
Keep in motion (Keep in motion, keep in motion)
Stay unspoken (Stay unspoken, stay unspoken)
And if I'm broken (And if I'm broken, and if I'm broken)
Keep me open (Keep me open, keep me open)
Keep in motion (Keep in motion, keep in motion)
Stay unspoken (Stay unspoken, stay unspoken)
And if I'm broken (And if I'm broken, and if I'm broken)
Keep me open (Keep me open, keep me open)
prod. geo thank you. So much.
Thank you, friend
Thank you...forever grateful for this journey of yours. Adventures in Djesse. Feeling whole, loved, and encouraged forward.
3:20 this grove is so good it should be illegal
This song embodies the number 7 in every way I can think of
oh my god
your comment was posted 7 months ago holy fuck
If you look up type 7s in the Enneagram personality test, it still stands true lool. Type 7s are the life of the party
i like how most of the top comments are from musicians here on youtube
His music is incredibly healing. Sounds like a prayer at the end. Such a soothing ending.
This guy lives in year 2300 🔥
At least... Yeah!!
Its probably year 2500
then zappa lived in 5000
Adam: *play sober*
Jacob: hold my hat
Truly underrated comment man. Laughed my ass off to that video from adam xD
This is the best comment of all time.
@Ron Maimon Jeez, chill
@Ron Maimon sorry jacob's creativity is definitely facilitated by drugs to some degree, likely coke.
how can a sober person create this? www.hajanga.com
he was also clearly intoxicated in his iharmu with chris costa
@@nathanielatkin304 It's called ADHD
Remember that time when Jacob Collier completed music history?
Noah Tankersley No I don't, because I wasn't alive when he was 3 years old.
aye, that's the right answer 👆🏾 🤣@@conzo4620
Officially confirmed...Jacob is from another planet. This mind blowing music and mind boggling visuals are from a completely different realm. Exquisite,MAGNIFICENT,nutritious and TRULY DELICIOUS
Everything he does can be broken down. He doesn't break any rules.
@@deloreanized True but how many people do you know do things like this without planning? Thats why he is the Prince of Improvisation!!! And he's so cuteeee
Mauri Dennison dont choke, its delicious but we dont want casualties
if Jacob Collier is the product of having a classical musician for a parent and being around music for 25 years, then what will his kid be like?
probably not a musician is my guess
Depends on the wife perhaps. If he's gonna have one.
a heroin addict.
This is some unorthodoxically good music. This track is bursting with colour. So many interesting sounds, rhythms and harmonies.
His music gives you the feeling that it was made by a person who just likes to have fun with sound and see what comes out of it.
Can't imagine where this kid is going to be in 10 years. I just hope he does not get sidetracked by all the distractions that come with fame because his future sure looks bight.
This truly made me realize so much within me. Your level of self understanding is so attainable. Meaning if you can do it anyone can. But your inspiration for ones motivation to find themselves is so deeply beautiful yet of course hard to grasp for most people. But for me... this is so incredibly deep if I put myself in your perspective. I'm truly in love with your creation Jacob. Thank you for all you do. It's helped me so much in better understanding our world.

@@oldskoolstepup Just a person having a connection with the music fam
I love this song.
It gets real deep after the glass shattering snare shot. That last section is so vulnerable and honest. Every time I get to that section, the lyrics speak different meanings, paint different pictures, and evoke different emotions. Your music is many things in life, Jacob. So beautiful and brilliant. Thank you.
Keep in motion
Stay unspoken
If I'm broken
Keep me open
This is the song that made me fall in love with this guy. He’s got the creativity to deliver the sound of madness and chaos in a way that makes sense.
None of us was ready. Also, the song's layout is easier to understand thanks to this video. Great job!
3:18 JEEEZZZ!!! YOU COULD BREAK SOMEONES NECK WITH THAT GROOVE
i already did that to several other people but no one calls me groovy
So THAT'S what the inside of Jacob's brain looks like.
But srsly tho this actually feels like the inside of Jacob’s brain listening to his music lol
exactly what i thought
But srsly tho the mirrord Jacob is his brain
I've never heard of this guy before, which meant I was Collier blind.
Good work here

shut up and take my like
*ba dum tss*
Lol, all these Crown comments. Crown should've been on Jacob Collier long time ago. Anyway Glad they are featuring his music.
Jacob works on rhythm and harmony in a white coat like a proper scientist in a laboratory :-)
3:43 In retrospect this visual makes me think of the glass block of volume 4's album art before the sculpture has been made in it.
After the video ended I threw my piano out of the window and went to sleep. Jacob please leave us some space we need some recognition too and oh my lord this video production is pure diamond
you could make a religion out of this
How did thos happen??
we already did
Well, considering he is probably running on full spirit, then yes, a religion can be easily achieved through this one song alone haha
Please don’t
@@dimasstazik3325 how about I do?? (Bill wurts)
Totally, magically, shatteringly brilliant. Musically, graphically, narratively, joyfully - a casket of Jacob's multi-faceted jewels. And deep thanks to Jules Buckley and his Metropole Orkest for their exquisite collaboration with the boy genius!
Coming back to this after more than a year, and it's gone form something really weird to something perfectly logical in my head. The way the music flows feel completely natural now. Jacob truly is gifted.
Yeah same here!! I can't listen to anything with one meter anymore
You’ve explained it perfectly my friend
Jacob’s Law of Sound:
If you wear a fur hat, it amplifies the stank effects of your bass by W (number of watts from amp) Times pi plus the gauge of the string.
Edit: thanks for the likes holy crap. I forgot to take into account the stank effects of different pedals and the use of microtones. Im not sure of those formulas, but im sure other funkologists have the answer and appropriate formulas.
lmfao this is a very good comment, congratulations sir
Additionally, he reserves his fur hat *specifically* for bass voices (either sung or played)
The fur hat protects him from the negative side effects of producing that much stank
Rendy Irawan but any poor soul near him gets a massive dose of negative groove which in some cases, has been shown to be fatal.
his bass face his cute doe
Mixing a song like this must be fun
Yeah 700+ tracks
@@georgerussell2947 😂😂😂💪
Kind of a nightmare tbh
Omg did he do the mixing and mastering too?!!

new upgrade:

more jacobs
Don't forget the bear hat. Ties the whole thing together.
Daniel Gordon the funky section deserve it. The hat gives him a power to make us produce some weird stanky faces
who am i. who are you the japanese video production team really match with the weird side of the almighty Collier, so..
Tere Panjaitan heres another jacob i found
2:14 omg that orchestra sounds so freaking good
It's like Collier's post-genre multi-tempo/key Bohemian Rhapsody.
John Grunwell that’s quite the description.
POST GENRE
gay
John Doe gotta agree, it’s a happy tune...
To be fair to Queen, Bohemian Rhapsody had multiple tempos and if I remember it right, more than one key as well.
Absolutely adore this song. About an hour into a hike with my family, we stopped for a snack break. Bust out the bluetooth speaker, and boogied down to this song on an empty mountain trail. It was a great day! Thank you for this beautiful gift.
Lol That Sounds Like The Funnest Fun Of ALL Time! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Is there an explanation for his addiction to the line “wiggle wiggle wiggle?”
TrickyGriffonGaming memes
TrickyGriffonGaming he was feelin wiggly what can i say
@@rg-ed5fr best comment ive seen in a long time
He’s done this in a few of his songs, I think it’s one of his lil djesse themes
“You know what to do with that big fat butt”
Anyone here still listening to this today?
Yes
OHHH YEAHH 🔥
Ohhh yeahh and for years to come ;)
It’s really wonderful to see a visual concept that matches (rivals?) your musical and artistic sensibilities as well as your personality. More!
I’m not the ONLY one who believes Jacob Collier would be an absolute tank of a Disney composer?
JACOB, PLEASE WE NEED THIS
Disney has become poisoned.
@@mikeg3439 Wow, I think you changed my mind! You are such an articulate individual. Thank you for your incredible insight.
@@dontpanicprod0 I share your admiration of Jacob. I just think Disney doesn't even deserve him. Certainly, he could re-invent their sound in a way that still was identifiably Disney, I get that.
Sorry in that I admit my comment was kind of a tangential disregard of your comment, that was rude of me.
@@mikeg3439 I respect your opinion as well, I personally believe he'd make the best music Disney has ever had and he'd make millions, but I also know that's not what he wants haha.
@@dontpanicprod0 What's really amazing is we have this guy for decades to come, that is exciting to me!
but with the love in our hearts somehow we found Jacob ❤

Thank you so much for expressing this. I haven't had the time or disposition to dig in that part of myself, that fragmented and lonely, yet lover, part of my soul. This song is like that white bird for me, a guide, or at least a clear sign amidst the "caos", that not for being "caos" is bad; just different and beautiful in it's own way and ways of, paradoxically, reaching cosmos.
The very last sound of the song is him taking a breath in, but no exhales. A wickedly delicious cliffhanger for the rest of the album 😍
That abrupt EVERYTHING change at 3:18 pierced my soul and I loved it
So genius it's ridiculous! This song is the peak of creativity, complexity and beauty 🎼🥁🎹 .. and the video is bananas too!!
This is amazingly trippy, but completely logical, tight, ... I don't know what else to say. It makes me feel all sorts of emotions including the tier 3 "Jacob Collier" emotion.
3:20 is one of the dankest, funkiest, slickest, powerful, delicious musical/beat explosions I’ve heard. It’s like a positive vibes version of dubstep mixed with funk.
Listening to this makes me feel like i've just listened to an amazing album the whole way through by the end
It's like meditation 🌼
I keep coming back to this because, above everything else, this song is an entire experience!
i believe i’ve come to the conclusion that THIS song AND in my bones are the jacob collier songs that bring me the most joy. OH ALSO SLEEPING ON MY DREAMS DUH. a trio win. just sjdhjddgso cool. the creativity alone makes me so happy.
This song makes me feel like I forgot I had music playing in 3 other tabs
And I love it

You already give us high expectations with your music, but this! Fantastic! I cant wait to see you when you come to the states!
I love JC's unique sense for harmonies and varying tempo's which make everything he does interesting and pleasurasble.
I’m one of the fan of TNT, and one of the team members, Liu Yao Wen has introduced this song to us❤️❤️❤️
I've had milder acid trips than this song.
@You GNAR! i listened to it tripping acid and peaking on a few whippets. Absolutely incredible.
the world doesn’t need drugs anymore, colliers music is everything anyone needs for the rest of our lives. he’s a goddamn genius

LMAOO LITERALLY ME. IM SCREAMING AT MY PHONE 😭😂😂😂
I feel the same ...(?) I mean it's pretty dang cool but it doesn't make sense but it does? It's like I feel uncomfortable listening to yet I keep on listening to it as if I want to find a way to somehow enjoy it lol
0:00 Startup intensifies
An interpretation. Only one of many possible interpretations.
Imagine endeavoring to seek inside yourself for that special elusive "something," you know, the storied "thing that was inside you all along"? 0:20
Discovering that there is such a thing as "inside yourself" 0:35
Catching that first glimpse of that "elusive something" 0:48
Initially, when you see it, you just follow it and enjoy the journey. You feel whole, for a moment. 1:27
What was a saunter now becomes a run. It becomes less about the journey, and more about finding that "thing," wondering what it is, and how to fully grasp it. 2:16
[For the record, the "somebody" he/she needs to understand his soul doesn't have to be a person. It could be a "thing."]
The chase feels good. As it should. Because you feel active. You feel like you have a goal. Often, people feel like they have a purpose just because they happen to be actively doing something. Even if it's not necessarily the right thing to do. 2:19
You love the chase, but things aren't really quite right around you. You're sacrificing your normalcy for the sake of the chase. It doesn't really matter to you, but to the rest of life around you, it's bothersome. Things start going crazy. To you, it's banality that's being disrupted, so you don't care. But to the universe around you, it's stability that's being disturbed. And it's an unworthy sacrifice. 2:54
The thing you're chasing leads you to the funk. After all, it should all lead to the funk. The groove. The sweet spot. 3:19
Stability? Who gives a crap anymore? I found the funk! 3:52
It feels good, but you can't stay in the funk forever. So, again, the journey takes a back seat. Again, it's all about the "thing." And now, finally, it's within reach. You lunge out to grab it, 4:40,
and when you do, it shatters your psyche. Everything you've ever known about everything is turned on its head. The thing that was supposed to be your saving grace shatters your own stability. 4:46
So now you're left with nothing. No security. No simplicity. Just shattered remains of what once was. You do have a voice. Which doesn't sound so bad in theory, but imagine having a voice with nothing to say. You have the means to express what you feel, but not enough understanding to make it make sense to anyone. Hence, the shattered face with only the mouth lit up. 4:46
So what do you do when you can't talk about what you're going through? You "Keep in motion, stay unspoken." You just keep living. Keep being. And hope, that even with this new discovery, this new way of life, things will eventually start to fall in place and make sense again. 5:38
The experience you have gone through will never be as palpable to others as it was to you. So now, you're left to rationalize what's going on "inside yourself" with the life you live on the "outside." They'll never know, but you'll never forget it. 6:41.
Cheers to the chase, Djesse.
Nice. I've been getting parts of this and it was really satisfying to see it in writing. Thanks for taking the time!
Its not palpable to others "stay unspoken" but you and I is we. the "thing" is there. for all of us. "keep me open"
As a Creative, an Introvert and an Empath, your interpretation totally resonates. Best. RUclips. Comment. Ever. 💖😊
This feels super accurate, to the deeper soulness of life at least.
Really brilliant! Possible and meaningful interpretation.
What an amazing blend of old and new funk DNA! Getting some strong Parliament vibes! George would be approve!
this is unfathomably joyous, uplifting, poignant and tantalisingly raw
what a gift
We've finally found our 21st Century Bohemian Rhapsody
Djesse Vol. 1 is my favorite.
I heard "no priest to blow me" the first few listens and thought he was making a political statement, until I finally heard it as "no breeze to blow me".
Honestly I've been reading the comments only to figure out if he actually said the priest bit...
I can't unhear this. Fuck you.
@@keithklassen5320 It brought me to the comments section as well!
@@beepboopboop4537 I can't unrobot your name.
This song keeps getting better, the more you listen to it.
why do i remember the first time hearing this song in contempt and disdain and one month later i'm here again looking EXACTLY for this and i'm up on my feet screaming every groove and every time change? I'm so hooked! Too sad it took two times listening to this... i wish all songs were so elaborated so that our brains werent used to sleep throughout the whole song
It's been my experience that the more I listen to his songs, the deeper and better they sound...unusual indeed.
There is so much music in this music!
Just nailed it.
How to make music like Jacob Collier :
1. Practice
2. Master your instrument
3. "I'm gonna practice other instrument"
4. Master other instruments
5. Learn jazz
6. Learn too much jazz
7. Learn way too many techniques
8. Become music genius
9. Record your song
10. Get high while you play
11. Hire a drunk MV director and editor
Sammy Axel GET HIGH WHILE YOU PLAY IM ALMOST THERE
I promise you whomever edited this masterpiece was not drunk.

CasualDude theres no way that guy hasn't taken psychodelics at least once
I cry, when I listen to this, from pure happiness. His music is news for old people, like me. Makes me feel young again.
I just can't wrap my head around this guy. I don't like it but then I love it. I can't stop listening!
That’s the mystery of it :)
3:26 Listen for a subtle “Get it” 😂😂
Thats awesome!
That was one hell of a reflection. Reflecting... Dwelling... Broken past... Reflecting... I love it.

The last act of this song is so dang soothing and the visuals are stunning. As a musician I feel my competitive nature but as a listener it's just so nice.
Wow, the complexity was astounding. I was on a ride. I loved how it came back full circle, that was kinda blissful. Absolute legend!
