Brennan Meier Not to my knowledge no. But June Lee has transcribed the beautiful moment in the second verse "but come ye back, where sun is in meadows" (I believe) in his video "Deciphering Jacob Collier Episode 1". June does a really incredible job giving us some insight into what Jacob is doing so check him out.
Heard this on some unknown radio channel today... and I thought it was beautiful... had no idea it was a cover... it was one of those panic moments where you clamber for your phone to Shazam the song before it ends... then Shazam didn't even know what it was and what followed was overwhelming sadness that I'd never be able to hear this beautiful song again... I've been searching all night for it and I can't believe I have actually found it!! To Jacob Collier... I would totally listen to a whole album worth of songs in this chilled out style over and over again... you know... just saying... haha. Keep doing what you're doing dude!
+Allan Pelosi Wow! I know EXACTLY how you were feeling. That moment when you find the song you've been looking after... it's indescribable. I was on the search for a song for over a year.
+Allan Pelosi This is the first artist I have ever heard on radio and gone and looked him up!! (as in found the songlist from the radio playlist, so happy I did, he's the next Prince/ harry connick jnr in my opinion!)
Allan Pelosi Huh. Interesting! I meant no disrespect, it's just one of those songs I assumed everyone had come in contact with at some point. It's really old.
I'm an Irish musician, and I am aware of and play this song in many variations, it's the first time I've even thought of Herbie Hancock and an Irish air. So you have unlocked a door for me. You might be impressed by the key changes in Mná Na h-Éireann, if you find a good versions of it. Although it's not a popular song to the wider public, and you wouldn't cover it. It's worth a listen if you like enchanting Irish airs.
His intro the is the most teasing passage I've ever heard. You keep thinking he's going to resolve it on a tonic chord BUT HE KEEPS DRAGGING IT OUT AND PROLONGING IT. My blood pressure is through the roof. Lovely sounds!
I don’t know what you’re talking about because the tonic (F Major) is being sustained from the very beginning. He plays different chords with F Maj in the background and then resolves back to F Maj at 00:50
I feel like there are things going on in this guy's brain that even he can't quantify. He rationalizes all he can, but also trusts his inner intuition to take him to the promiseland.
He's a year older than I am and he has more grammies than I have songs I know how to fully play on Piano without sounding like a little kid practicing basic chords.
Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side. The summer's gone, and all the roses falling, It's you, it's you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow, Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow, It's I'll be here in sunlight or in shadow, Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so!
Beautiful, ultra-modern, yet respectful to the tradition. Watch one Jacob Collier video and, even though you've done it countless days before over the past few years, you just end up seeking out and listening to a whole load more. And it stops you in your tracks (this time I was meant to be practising my bass :). I've given up trying to describe this guy or how I feel about his music. All I can say to my friends now is just "Listen".
It's even more true now that he's released a lot more music. I always get the question: what kind of music does he make? I can never give them an answer, and I always just show them bits of different songs of his, to show how he isn't limited by any genres or labels.
That interlude at 3:04 is absolutely unreal, it's like discovering a new color. And yet, the entire passage is so distant but near, so warm and cold all at the same time. It's by far my favorite portrayal of love and conflict. It's absolute art.
Jacob is literally a portal, a radio that is tuned into the harmonies of heaven. The harmonies are literally the musical representation of things like longing, hope, despair, and unconditional love. Jacob’s rendition of this timeless tune made me feel the same way I felt holding my brand new baby boy for the first time.
My favorit musician since two years: I think all musisians in all ages can learn so much from him, I’m an eighty-one old jazz-player, and cannot live with my daily portion of Jacob Collier and still learn from him!!
@@rugueuxbysurson3118 first off thats a really douchy statement because music taste is a very personal thing, and second off, this piece of music is incredibly advanced from a completely objective standpoint. i dont see your point.
@@rugueuxbysurson3118 I've listened to a lot of music. I've studied classical music at Uni. I've played musical instruments my entire life. I come from a very musical family. And I can also say that without a doubt, this is genuinely one if the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. So fuck off.
What's unique about this, I think, is that it's one person's vision and choices driving all the voices at once, instead of an ensemble where a dozen minds decide on the treatment (attack, volume, etc). of each note, or where the composer has to multi-track themselves, which kills the spontaneity. This performance is all his creative choices delivered in real time by the tech he's using.
Out of all the things he's done, this is probably something that's high on my list. It may not feel like much compared to his other songs, but this particular arrangement had me shocked at how he could create euphony out of something so cacophonous. It really emphasizes the fact that he is the Shakespeare of music: he can break most of the rules and still make it sound good
Hey just an FYI, using big words that no one really uses anymore doesn’t make you sound smart, it just makes it sound like you’re trying way too hard to sound smart, having the opposite effect than what was intended
That moment when you realize you lost your music gods in the final vocoder lines by this beast: From 4.09 to 4.22 Radiohead could made a whole song within these 13 seconds. From 4.23 to 4.50 within this sublime way out, David Sylvian could add a third disc at "Gone to Earth" And I swear, I'm an huge fan of David Sylvian and Radiohead. But this boy... he's not from this planet. Grandissimo Jacob, see you in Umbria Jazz on July!
Effectivement, un photographe apparaît à 1:00, étonnant que Jacob n'ai pas l'air d'être en faux raccord... Mais ce doit être issu d'une inattention lors du montage de la vidéo
I am listening to it now the sixth or seventh time and i am asking myself from which kind of star this endless timeless calm is coming from. Oh i like that very much. My heartbeat went down to 20 beats per minute :-)) Thank you. oh...i have to breathe...
I really, really like Jacob Collier. I adore his more simple pieces with the incredibly poignant, nostalgic lyrics. And I can appteciate the highly produced, 1000s of tracks, experimental stuff too. But this particular cover leaves me cold. The original is a heartbreakingly beautiful, powerful and chilling ballad that causes goosebumps and makes the hairs stand on end. JC has proven himself well capable of evoking that sort of emotion with some of his own pieces (I particularly like In The Real Early Morning and Time To Rest Your Weary Head which I expect I will return to occasionally for the rest of my life) but in this cover all of the heart and soul is missing, replaced with artifical, almost autotune-y sounds. I know he's incredibly talented with instruments and digital production but he is also the highest scoring vocalist ever to pass through his school. My own personal taste in music leaves me wishing that he would use his phenomenal voice more and ease off on what is to my ears near-masturbatory over production. Sometimes (most of the time?) less really is more. I accept I am in the minority and I'm not attacking him. Those who are more educated technically likely find more merit in his more complex pieces and that is great. Hopefully he will have a career spanning decades and I'm sure he will create plenty of music that suits my taste better. But out of everything I listen to his simpler arrangements consistently end up feeling more powerful to me and touching me in a deeper place. And, after all, isn't that what music is all about?
This is so majestically beautiful it gives me a pain in the brain - akin to euphoria. If you get me. Whenever I listen to this, I am in tears. And thank-you, BBC, for your masterful sound engineering and clever photography. It really adds to the glory of Jacob's performance.
Johann Sebastian Bach also loved pedal point. Jacob exercises it in the beginning and repeatedly throughout. It‘s the synthesis of stability and variability. The constant tone is sliding into different harmonic functions resulting in a variety of fascinating colours.
Those low harmonies are beautiful and remind me of the emotional experience I had listening to Thomas Tallis. This is my new favorite version of this timeless song.
I saw him - and listen to ! -a week ago in Jazzavienne, France: he and his music touched my soul...This Danny Boy is so genuine, so spiritual...Thank's a lot Jacob. Waouw !
Beautiful as usual. Just a thought - I'd like to hear your unprocessed vocal much more clearly. I can hear what you're doing vocally, but it's so quiet.
I discovered this in late 2015 when Eric Whitacre reposted it on social media. That was the first time I had ever heard of Jacob Collier. Now I am a massive fan. Still come back to listen to this every few months and get chills every time
i'm depressed because my mom thinks this is "music for the young" i hate that "young vs old" attitude i need all people over 50 who like this rendition to reply to this and assure me she's wrong
Hello there! I actually created a Harmonizer that functions exactly like this one, and it costs $15. Discount code IMOGEN: app.simplegoods.co/i/WQKWSSCY
@@kindrakinyon8559 The discount was a temporary promotion I did for the first month it was available for sale. I am now asking the full price of $50, which is still a fraction of the price of Antares Harmony Engine.
Nice solo piano at the end but the rest was murky and quirky, I don’t think many people would put that on a playlist.. Jacob is like a musical genius child playing in a technological sandbox of sound, but where’s the soul , it doesn’t touch me.. just my opinion..
Jacob's intense song and accompaniment are ravishing. But then - THEN - comes the most exquisite, reflective, delicate, thoughtful, sad, magical, moving piano finish imaginable. What he plays from 4:51 to the end will break your heart.
After months of knowing Jacob Collier's 'Danny Boy' I still cannot get through it without hot tears rolling down my face.... and I have heard and watched this times without number. When Jacob reimagines a familiar melody, it is more than a masterful improvisation. It is a new creation. His best music is angelic, mystical, heart-breaking. (And thank-you, BBC, for your inspired portrait photography!)

+Nikau Wineera At least it ain't Tristan and Isolde dragging it for 4 hours till the end ahaha

Same in the outro with the piano. Sticking to the dominant and floating around with a tonic melody until he goes down a fifth and resolves so lovely
I don’t know what you’re talking about because the tonic (F Major) is being sustained from the very beginning. He plays different chords with F Maj in the background and then resolves back to F Maj at 00:50

don't say stuff like that
it's not true and you need to just trust your inner self and think out side the box
it's more about how you think about music than it is about skill
and when I say how you think about music I don't mean the technical side but the more abstract and "philosophical" side of music
The reverb on Jacob's harmonizer is fucking fantastic. Damn. It really sounds like a reverb from a real church.
I'd appreciate if you stopped making the rest of us look like pathetic excuses for musicians, thank you very much.
i'll rather look pathetic while listening to him
Stop comparing yourself. Go play music and practice. Be on your own path.

As a classical musician, I have to say, no matter how I hate pop, I love jazz
The way his singing sounds is what I expect how angels sound when they speak.
This is something you would hear entering heaven
This is one of the most beautiful things I've experienced
Como músico agnóstico que soy, Jacob Collier es lo más cerca que he estado de Dios.

When Jacob reimagines a familiar melody, it is more than a masterful improvisation. It is a new creation. His best music is angelic, mystical, heart-breaking. (And thank-you, BBC, for your inspired portrait photography!)
Bouncybon nothing to add 🌊
genius right here man, no words..
Jacob Collier is to Danny Boy what Jeff Buckley was to Hallelujah
Jacob's interpretation of Hallelujah is as tasty as this, believe me 👀💕
Imogen Heap is an obvious influence on this one.
May his genius have a long life!
