Jacob... After watching this once at work yesterday (and barely holding myself together), I decided that I'll hook this up to the living room screen and the sound system after dinner later that night and invite the family to watch/listen. My three teen/preteen kids usually wander off to their rooms or elsewhere in the house but I asked them to stick around. Everyone in the family knows the Coldplay original. So there we were, all five of us: myself, my wife, and the kids. There was a bit of whispered chatter between my daughters, the oldest and the youngest of the three, but it quickly died out when you started singing the first verse. My son, the middle child, was on his phone but immediately put it away, too. For six minutes after that there was an absolute pin drop silence in the room. At the end, my daughters were hugged together and in silent tears. My wife had snuggled up to me and she was a mess as well. My 16 year old son had his head in both hands, with a 'woah!' look on his face as he turned to me, while I was with watery eyes and smiling back at them all. A few long seconds passed until my youngest daughter, 12, whispered, "Please play it again." We watched it twice more. Everyone in the room will never forget that evening in a very, very long time. Thank you, sir.
Thank you so much for sharing that. It shows just how powerful music can be, and particularly when performed with such genuine unrestricted creativity and compassion. I saw Jacob live a year ago and was absolutely mind blowing!
Dear Jacob, I am an 84 year old granny, living in France. Would just like to tell you how you are important. You have been given such extraordinay talents, and you are using them so well. Yes, this poor beautiful old world needs so much fixing, and my, are you doing your part ! Thank you for being there !🙏🌏❤🙏
@@gummiewormproduction oh my god wHY??? WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY GET FROM LYING??? fucking give it a rest, it's people who think like you that cause things like flat earth and climate deniers to feel justified in asking questions that have no basis for even being asked.
Thank you for the inspiration. I am a cancer survivor. The song has always been beautiful but this version heals so much more than what meets the eye. Thank you Jacob...thank you. God bless you more in ever increasing creative measure. 😊🙏🏼♥️🇵🇭
This song feels very comforting & reassuring. I always get that same feeling when I listen to "When I Hear You Call" which without a doubt is my most favorite song of yours. So, thank you very much. Looking forward to more of your creative endeavors . :)
I'm pretty sure Chris has already been here. Much love to Jacob and to all of the listeners out there. Much to the dismay of politicians, only art can help the healing of some wounds.
I first heard this song from my preschoolers in class, one particular little boy had the sweetest voice and knew every word. His mother was in the mental hospital. He told me if he closes his eyes he can “ send the song” to her. 💔😭
I cried when I read your comment the first time. Randomly scrolled again and read it now and it struck again like lightning. Can’t think of a better description of pure love.
I couldn't agree more, but I don't think he will. He's not exactly a minimalistic guy even though I personally prefer these stripped down acoustic pop arrangements that still are 100x more creative and moving than other covers.
I'm right now sitting next to the bed in which my dad is lying, dying from cancer. I'm listening to this song while I'm watching him, expecting the next breath of air to be his last. This hits home Jacob, so much. Thank you, for the comfort you give me right now. I'm right now loosing something I can't replace.
@@sterloincee sending love! It's been a year now, when I was in your place. Hearing my mum's last breath, when she was dying from cancer in her 50s. And then a month or so after she died, I heard this song and I exactly knew what it means to lose someone you can't replace...
Even when you're bloody Coldplay, it must be an absolute privilege to sit and watch someone cover your song with such imagination and passion. That was stunning.
My wife went through cancer. Should have died in June of 2016, but she made it. She made it because of a small army of professionals who took care of her and because she’s the strongest person I’ve ever met. Much stronger than me. This was amazing.

I've been really struggling a lot lately with the death of my dad, who passed away about a year ago now. He worked for coldplay for many many years, most of my life (I'm 22 now) and at his funeral I did a cover of the scientist because that was his favourite song of theirs. Today has been particularly hard for me and i've been unable to do my uni assignments but stumbling across this today has really helped me. You've created such a beautiful version Jacob and finding this has made my day.
As time passes life pushes in, crowds out, says “not now” but music/experiences like this are central, non-optional, elemental aspects of honesty and life integrity that warrant diving into again. I hope you have gifted your truest self time to dwell in this place. It’s honestly rare to come across these avenues of connection. I am writing to encourage you, and others who might read this, to shut off all the other noise in your life for these few short minutes and hear this tune again.
Nothing has ever been more needed in my life than this. Yesterday my dog lost his battle with cancer while in my arms. This truly is what I needed❤️ thank you
Absolutely. I feel like this is something we all do in our heads when we hear songs, but we don’t have the capacity to reflect it like Jacob does. Everyone hears something unique, and if we could just express it, it would be beautiful. But I think he inspires people to try, or at least want to
I love the end of that run, which is what they call in the guitar world a hammer pull, I think. I’m a self-taught pianist and I don’t even know what it’s called on piano :)
Yeah, but that’s pretty consistent with the original. Based on where the key he chose sits on his register, he has the choice to sing this part really high or really low. And this time, he chose low. It’s not unusual to hear Jacob sing quite low, in a way that is accurate but maybe not hugely moving. I like it, but it’s not exceptional to me.
@@johningram2153 close with the terminology. On a stringed instrument a 'hammer on' is when you change your fringering on an already vibrating string to sound a higher note, i.e. hammering with your finger on the string. A 'pull off' is the opposite; you pull your finger off to sound a lower note. Doing a hammer on then pull off on a pair of notes is a 'trill'. 'Tapping' is hammer ons and pull offs without plucking the string first, and usually uses both hand on the neck of the instrument.
Currently waiting for over an hour at the train station and decided to watch something, then this popped up. I could never have asked for a better piece to listen to. You are a blessing to this world Jacob Collier. ❤
i was reading some comments on reddit on a group that was just dissing Jacob in everyway possible from his voice to what they call over-complicated voicings. Let me say the one common theme I saw in those comments was that none of those people had "hope". In fact it seemed that they had the opposite of hope. They didn't like the feeling of memory, reflection and nostalgia that some of his music evokes. Jacob brings such love and empathy to everything he touches and there are those that think that is outdated? Old fashioned? How can anyone say that after listening to this masterpiece. I find myself coming back to this rendition daily and each time I think I can get through it, I start crying. I read some of the comments in this feed, and start crying from those. I am so happy to have Jacob Collier in this world. He can't be from this planet, as he is to joyous and wonderous. I think it's fine when someone doesn't like an artist's music, but when trolls on the internet want to spew their hatred for any artist, I find it so disheartening. I look for the people who redeem humanity, and Jacob Collier, you are one of them.
Thank you Jacob, thank you for coming to this earth, Keep on throbbing the heart of man in love. With you, I know that the future of the world will be secure, and at peace. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍 With love, a brother
i heard this song for the first time a few days after a mother figure of mine died. she meant the absolute world to me. i sincerely believe that this song saved me. i remember hearing it for the first time and it made me feel seen and understood. i am now about to move out. i'm scared i'm changing my life irreparably. i know i’m making the right choice but my family means so much to me. we are not perfect but we love each other. my brother introduced me to your music a few years ago. thank you for saving me, thank you for making your music, thank you.
Jacob Collier is a genre of music that is carefully concocted from heaven and chilled with the Seraphims' wings. I am still mindblown that the internet can actually handle such talent without its seams breaking.
I always thought Chris Martin couldn’t have made this song any better. This guy, however, plays with so much soul and passion. It’s a tough ask to take a classic and cover it. This is truly stunning.
trying to harmonize along with his voice and not ever knowing where he’s gonna go with the next note.....quite a fun challenge and so satisfying once you get that harmony right. i would do many things to be able to harmonize with jacob for real.
Have you all listened to his Lionel Richie's 'All night long' cover? I bet you have, but for you who haven't, just watch it you'll love it. All his talent is on show, his mastery of ALL instruments, his voice, his arrangements, his harmonies... Goose bumps, hurray, halleluyah, bravo, to die for !!!
yep my favourite genre of music id definitely jacob playing a piano cover of a song i thought i already knew and then crying as i put it on repeat for three weeks solid:)
Hi there jacob, I love that you're talking about this and dedicating this cover to it, your music and voice really makes me feel better when I'm really anxious or just feeling kind of depressed and I bet thousands of people think the same
Currently grieving my relationship. 3 weeks post breakup. This hits hard. Currently lying in bed crying. He had BPD and ADHD and with it came a lot of challenges...especially without the help of therapy. But...I forgive him. I have to in order to move forward. All the abuse, the toxicity....I'm stronger than this and I deserve to be with someone who wants to be with me. Someone who chooses me the way I chose him every time. I deserve that. He does too. This pain feels impossible to overcome, but I know time heals, I know it will all be okay. This song gives me hope.
Jacob is the ultimate core of musicianship of my generation. The freedom to play whatever he wants, collab with whomever he wants, express himself precisely how he needs to... it's just the absolute ultimate goal. He's a bright, bright star were all looking up to, longing to be there where he is. But Jacob is his own space, I bow down to this unmatched mastery of musicianship.
I can't imagine. Tommy, I am so very glad for people like Jacob who have the heart and talent to sooth the deepest parts of us. Have you heard of guitarist and composer Pat Metheny? His music is moving and has been played at many many births and deaths. It can be cathartic and transformative and inspiring, but not always. Maybe check out this ruclips.net/video/X2FxmPR854s/видео.html
well said !!! ... i may not agree with some of the politics or sentiments at times of either but i can truly say without fear or favour that jacob is the most ... well ... he is the most ... show me another with this level of emotional ... errr how to describe it ... magnetism ? and of course stephen ... well ... he plays so well with the language and gentle humour and yet in QI wasn't afraid to take a bold stride in a fauvoured direction... nice to find a soul who can comment on this tube without the seemingly inevitable vitriol thank you

I think Mr. Collier should create an all-acoustic album covering songs like this and Hallelujah.
Yes! But he won’t unless the idea inspires and excites him. This song is wonderful and I listen to it on repeat!
I couldn't agree more, but I don't think he will. He's not exactly a minimalistic guy even though I personally prefer these stripped down acoustic pop arrangements that still are 100x more creative and moving than other covers.

On a stringed instrument a 'hammer on' is when you change your fringering on an already vibrating string to sound a higher note, i.e. hammering with your finger on the string. A 'pull off' is the opposite; you pull your finger off to sound a lower note. Doing a hammer on then pull off on a pair of notes is a 'trill'. 'Tapping' is hammer ons and pull offs without plucking the string first, and usually uses both hand on the neck of the instrument.
Beautiful 🔥🙏🏻
Klaus likes Jacob Collier!!
What about a chili tasting with Jacob Collier?
Du laver fantastiske videoer!
Wow this is one hell of an unexpected crossover
When CK gives you a 🔥 it MEANS something
Now we need Chili Klaus to play with lick after eating a spicy pepper.
I see Jacob Collier in my recommendations,I immediately hit thumbs up before watching!
Currently waiting for over an hour at the train station and decided to watch something, then this popped up. I could never have asked for a better piece to listen to. You are a blessing to this world Jacob Collier. ❤
i was reading some comments on reddit on a group that was just dissing Jacob in everyway possible from his voice to what they call over-complicated voicings. Let me say the one common theme I saw in those comments was that none of those people had "hope". In fact it seemed that they had the opposite of hope. They didn't like the feeling of memory, reflection and nostalgia that some of his music evokes. Jacob brings such love and empathy to everything he touches and there are those that think that is outdated? Old fashioned? How can anyone say that after listening to this masterpiece. I find myself coming back to this rendition daily and each time I think I can get through it, I start crying. I read some of the comments in this feed, and start crying from those. I am so happy to have Jacob Collier in this world. He can't be from this planet, as he is to joyous and wonderous. I think it's fine when someone doesn't like an artist's music, but when trolls on the internet want to spew their hatred for any artist, I find it so disheartening. I look for the people who redeem humanity, and Jacob Collier, you are one of them.
... und wieder ist die Welt für einen Moment schöner!
Danke, Jacob ♡
3:34 the way he comes down from that high note is literally magic.
yeah its 3 years later and guess what ... im in tears listening to this and that descent is the main reason
I appreciate it so much after listening to it like 3-4 times. Each time took me to a new experience!
Thank you Jacob, thank you for coming to this earth, Keep on throbbing the heart of man in love. With you, I know that the future of the world will be secure, and at peace. ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🤍
With love, a brother
Jacob, you're incredible. Your music is really transformational!
but it is though right ... its not superlative ... that right there is miles away from swift or such
I don't know who this "Cold Play" is,
but they sure are gonna blow up after this cover,
way to go Jacob!!
You’re so funny
haha
Bless Jacob’s humble heart
i bet you're fun at parties.
😂 love u
Your voice is like an old friend i haven't heard from in a long time.... Reassuring they're still there and that everything will be ok.
Jacob Collier, you are an Alien and I am so glad you call our planet home. You are just amazing!!!!!
One of the most talented musicians in the world. PERIOD.
Truely beautiful. Thanks Jacob
i heard this song for the first time a few days after a mother figure of mine died. she meant the absolute world to me. i sincerely believe that this song saved me. i remember hearing it for the first time and it made me feel seen and understood.
i am now about to move out. i'm scared i'm changing my life irreparably. i know i’m making the right choice but my family means so much to me. we are not perfect but we love each other. my brother introduced me to your music a few years ago.
thank you for saving me, thank you for making your music, thank you.
Jacob Collier and his music makes this cruel world a better place.
This is so beautiful, you made my day. Will you please sing this at my wedding?
Jacob Collier is a genre of music that is carefully concocted from heaven and chilled with the Seraphims' wings. I am still mindblown that the internet can actually handle such talent without its seams breaking.
Genistrek, både musikken til coldplay og din verson.👍
I was just in another universe... Thank you Jacob!
Jacob Collier: When the pure beauty of music makes you cry.....Thank you, Jacob !
Tears of Joy and Hope.
I have such a huge crush on this man that is beyond physicality. His soul feels like it's got mine in it's hand.
When somebody listens to this not the first, second, but the 100th plus time and you still blow their mind, that’s insane. Unreal ❤
I always thought Chris Martin couldn’t have made this song any better. This guy, however, plays with so much soul and passion. It’s a tough ask to take a classic and cover it. This is truly stunning.
trying to harmonize along with his voice and not ever knowing where he’s gonna go with the next note.....quite a fun challenge and so satisfying once you get that harmony right. i would do many things to be able to harmonize with jacob for real.
I'm sure anyone who loves his music as much as you and I would do the same!!!
Can’t wait to hear that duet
I come here periodically and just cry. Thank you.
Have you all listened to his Lionel Richie's 'All night long' cover? I bet you have, but for you who haven't, just watch it you'll love it. All his talent is on show, his mastery of ALL instruments, his voice, his arrangements, his harmonies... Goose bumps, hurray, halleluyah, bravo, to die for !!!
Articulate, humble, and brilliant. Does anyone wish they know Jacob Collier in person?
yep my favourite genre of music id definitely jacob playing a piano cover of a song i thought i already knew and then crying as i put it on repeat for three weeks solid:)
His voice is actually so under appreciated it’s gorgeous
All I can say in absolute respect and inexhaustible adoration to this video is this. WHAT?????
Jacob you'd make a truly wonderful vicar. I mean this in all sincerity
Oh, Jacob...one of my favorite songs!
You are a magnificent gift to all! Blessings and thank you again and again and ...! This is beautiful! ♡
I Lost one of my friend this month of cancer. This song help me so much ..
I love you thomas 11/15/2022
My brother left this world almost a year ago and today I remembered it, I was sad. This music cured me, again🖤
What a lovely soul you are
bravo !!!! sublime !! wonderful !!! thank you to exist Jacob !
please let it never end. it's so beautiful that it makes me realise that the music only helps me heal myself. thank you jacob you are the greatest
Hi there jacob, I love that you're talking about this and dedicating this cover to it, your music and voice really makes me feel better when I'm really anxious or just feeling kind of depressed and I bet thousands of people think the same
his music has definitely calmed me down from being on the verge of an anxiety attack before
Currently grieving my relationship. 3 weeks post breakup. This hits hard. Currently lying in bed crying. He had BPD and ADHD and with it came a lot of challenges...especially without the help of therapy. But...I forgive him. I have to in order to move forward. All the abuse, the toxicity....I'm stronger than this and I deserve to be with someone who wants to be with me. Someone who chooses me the way I chose him every time. I deserve that. He does too. This pain feels impossible to overcome, but I know time heals, I know it will all be okay. This song gives me hope.
Many organisations do important work. Thankyu for supporting those organisations that matter to yu
Jacob is the ultimate core of musicianship of my generation. The freedom to play whatever he wants, collab with whomever he wants, express himself precisely how he needs to... it's just the absolute ultimate goal. He's a bright, bright star were all looking up to, longing to be there where he is. But Jacob is his own space, I bow down to this unmatched mastery of musicianship.
Most emotionally touching JC vocals I've heard!
That was so beautiful Jacob. I lost my mum to cancer so this song resonated deeply with me.
Thank YOU so much!!!
Much love.
Tommy.
I can't imagine. Tommy, I am so very glad for people like Jacob who have the heart and talent to sooth the deepest parts of us. Have you heard of guitarist and composer Pat Metheny? His music is moving and has been played at many many births and deaths. It can be cathartic and transformative and inspiring, but not always. Maybe check out this ruclips.net/video/X2FxmPR854s/видео.html
The same thing happened to me, Tommy. Keep on going strong! God bless you~
you are the musical gift to the world as Stepehen Fry is , in trhe domain of language Thank you
well said !!! ... i may not agree with some of the politics or sentiments at times of either but i can truly say without fear or favour that jacob is the most ... well ... he is the most ... show me another with this level of emotional ... errr how to describe it ... magnetism ?
and of course stephen ... well ... he plays so well with the language and gentle humour and yet in QI wasn't afraid to take a bold stride in a fauvoured direction...
nice to find a soul who can comment on this tube without the seemingly inevitable vitriol
thank you
