    I just had an incredible day yesterday with my girlfriend and a really close friend, the whole day we explored the city and had so much fun and ended it all going to another friend's 18th birthday party. I had so so much fun. This song made me cry in happiness as listening to it made me realise how incredibly lucky I am to have someone who i love with all of my heart and so much more, and to also have an amazing friend who I know cares so much about me. The first time i listened to this song i couldn't stop crying as this overwhelming feeling of being loved and loving someone so much just overwhelmed me. I've never felt the former feeling before. I really hope whoever reads this has or gets to feel this chest tightening feeling too.

    If you just arrived here, if you're not used to Jacob,if you don't understand the hype around his music, please don't stop at your first listening.
    Take some time. Sit on your couch, get good headphones. Listen to this peace of arts not once, not twice.
    Listen to it ten times on a raw, even more, even if you have no musical knowledge like I do, until you get a grasp of most of the voices, most of the musical parts. Until you get all the lyrics if you're French like I am (sorry for my mistakes by the way). Until you can see these more than wonderful paintings that is this video clip. Until you can see the pictures by listening to this song. Until you can see the big picture, the wonderful structure. Until you can hear, see, feel, and take by the hand a holistic approach to this masterpiece.
    Once you're here, you get it. You can feel it in your bones. You get the chills. You get the hype. You can feel all the links created and underlined by Jacob's music.
    I must warn you though : once you've been here, you're hooked. Nevermind the place or time, this piece will have your soul bounce and leap above what you imagined was possible.
    This is art. This is love. This is links. I'm hooked, please get onboard.

Love the song, but a bit too much cute close rhyming and "makes me feel alright" felt a bit too basic/over-used pop lyric. Though I'm pretty sure I've heard him say he spent a while on those lyrics to get them right for him, so... *shrugs shoulders* I feel picky mentioning this given every other fantastic wonderful thing he's doing.

    It seems that he's refined his style for Vol. 3. The production is still very impressive and there's a lot of complexity under the surface, but it's been applied subtly, and everything seems to be in the intrest of serving the composition instead of an ambitious demonstration of what he's capable of.

    As a longtime Jacobite, I loved his happy side, the joking trickster, his connection with the inner child of creativity. Here, he is dipping into maturity. He looks 15, sounds like an ancient soul, and in this tune gains the initiation into sorrow, loss, the blues, and gospel grooves. Listening now, I am crying not only from beauty, but also with depth.

    Things rearrange we miss what is not the same
    I learned the value of what we had taught by pain
    Caught the rain, used it to wash my wounds.
    Learned the other side's grass wasn't as green
    I bloomed I grew
    Took separation to get closer to you
    You didn't let go and I held on too
    Your arms were my armor, karma cut us loose
    You learned value I learned truth
    No one holds me down the way you do
    But your feelings I let spill over and over and over
    Just to cover for insecurities I couldn't show the hell
    I had to face my self my fears my fails
    Now I know there's nothing I can't do
    I dance in the rain knowing I can swim too
    Found liberation, Found my freedom
    Where it begins is without you,

Other musicians might be better than him in one specific area like lyric writing for example, whereas he chooses to generalize rather than specialize (if that makes sense).

    In the beginning, the guy is at his piano but not playing it. He turns around and stares into a window while his entire reality fixates on it. Memories follow which are beautiful, and the first things to bubble to the surface. Then a silhouette of a different character; brief snippets of contextless images appear, as if they were each little stabs to the heart. A piano is played with two pairs of hands, a hand from a second character blocks light over the first character’s face, a moment of profound sadness, a shattering of glass, and the two go their separate ways. He leaves the memory and shuts the door.
    Second character returns on screen having a journey dictated symbolically by Rhapsody. They take a conch shell from the ground that is their version of the window. They’re reflecting on the beauty of the union and the lessons learned from the separation. Much briefer than the first character’s journey was, they conclude the journey peacefully and surrenders the shell into the currents to be washed out to sea. The awareness of these events gets communicated to the first character, by his seeing the colorful fireworks from outside window that he had returned to.
    After Rapsody’s final verse, all the light sources are all multicolored with brilliant hues; the entire video is in black/white except for these few seconds after the final verse dropped. The character is turned away from the now fading splendor and the piano comes back on screen. right after, the “I wont be alright” verse plays while the character is facing away from the light. After turning, he starts walking towards the piano- the song ends. As the voices die out, the scene cuts to cloud sequences. The clouds at the beginning are black, and at the end are white.

    Lyrics
    Intro: Jacob Collier]
    He won't hold you
    Like I do (No)
    He won't bring out
    The love in you
    [Verse 1: Jacob Collier]
    (He won't hold you)
    I've been feeling down and out lately
    (Like I do)
    Baby since you left me
    (He won't hold you)
    It's been so long since your body held me
    (Like I do)
    Won't you come and save me?
    (He won't hold you)
    I never was I misunderstood, baby
    (Like I do)
    Since the day you met me
    (He won't hold you)
    Now I'm lost, I'm on my own, it feels so lonely
    (Like I do)
    Won't you resurrect me?
    [Chorus: Jacob Collier]
    (He won't hold you)
    And all across from all around
    The people make a people sound
    They dance along the avenue
    Of what I thought I knew
    (He won't hold you)
    And all across from all around
    The people make a people sound (He won't)
    They dance along the avenue
    Of what I hound to
    [Post-Chorus: Jacob Collier]
    I won't be alright
    I won't be alright
    I won't be alright
    And I won't be alright (Say it again)
    [Verse 2: Rapsody]
    Things rearrange, we miss what is not the same
    I learned the value of what we had, taught by pain
    Caught the rain
    Used it to wash my wounds
    Learned the other side's grass' wasn't as green, I bloomed, I grew
    Took separation to get closer to you
    You didn't let go and I held onto
    Your arms were my armor
    Karma cut us loose
    You learned value, I learned truth
    No one holds me down the way you do
    But your feelings out there spill over, and over and over
    Just to cover for insecurities, I couldn't show to him
    I had to face myself, my fears, my feels
    Now I know there's nothing I can't do
    I dance in the rain knowin' I can swim too
    Found liberation, found my freedom
    Where it begins is without you
    I understand now
    My only one, without you
    [Chorus: Jacob Collier]
    (He won't hold you)
    And all across from all around
    The people make a people sound
    They dance along the avenue
    Of what I thought I knew
    (He won't hold you)
    And all across from all around
    The people make a people sound (The people sound)
    They dance along the avenue
    Of what I hound to
    [Post-Chorus: Jacob Collier]
    I won't be alright
    I won't be alright
    I won't be alright (Be alright)
    And I won't be alright
    [Outro: Jacob Collier]
    Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
    Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
    Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
    Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
    Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm

It’s such a beautiful, emotional contrast.

    This is my spiritual song of Jacob's. Back home, I'd often walk along a nearby beach to clear my mind, think about things, enjoy the scenery. There were many days where the weather was what most would define as "disgusting." Overcast, the sand all damp, seaweed and other debris peppering the beach... but it was beautiful nonetheless. I would often have this song playing in my head as I walked, especially on the overcast days. As I write this, it's been nearly eight months since I've walked along it, as I've moved elsewhere. This song reminds me of home, of the beach... and I love it. So much. I hope I can return home someday and walk along the beach again, with this playing as I walk.

    I have no idea how I ran across this guy today, but I have been going down a rabbit hole of his music all day. THIS SONG is my favorite. This guy is a musical prodigy. I've never heard anything like him before.

    It's hard to describe how this made me feel when I first listened to it but it was powerful
