Your moment to moment reaction throughout and after is all of us! I never try to give any pre-amble or context if I show a friend it, because it's a folly to think you can explain to someone with words lol
It speaks for itself and it speaks in some language that evolved from music and happens in the distant future haha
I get the laughing thing 100% - I am the same, usually mixed with expletives and exclamations of disbelief and admiration - it's just the sheer unbridled, runaway minecart of joy as you try to keep up - so effortlessly playful and light on it's feet, while being jaw-dropping. It gives you so many confusing enjoyable things to hear and follow in the arrangement too - making a game of it to see if you can guess where it's going to take you next.
Legitimately grateful most days to be born in the right part of time that has Collier in it, inspiring beyond words.
This is one of the most beautiful comments I’ve ever read. I’m glad there are others out there like you who understand this strange magic. Thank you for gracing my channel. 🤝
Are you a writer, because I have never read an eloquence the equal of this. You described the muscial genius that is Jacob Collier.
@@AssetInvesting Haha that is very kind of you to say! I write tons of lyrics for my own music and some sci fi fiction - but I don't post it anywhere and nobody is offering to pay me haha
but words are free and i lucked out being randomly born in a country with favourable human rights so...
yes I am writer, and so are you!
Auto tune sux.. this is terrible.
The stages of listening to Jacob Collier as a musician:
1. Shock
2. Amazement
3. Denial
3. Laughter in disbelief
4: Mind enters new dimension
5. Staring into space motionless while crying with joy
6. Conceptual understanding of music is so shattered that u cease to believe in your own music talents.
7. Cry in pain, what is the point of me ?
8. Crisis finishes, your soul, mind and body reunite, and pure ecstasy of the sense washes over your body.
9. This dude is … a genius.
The stages of listening to Jacob Collier as a non-musician:
1. Ew, what is this ? Turn it off
😂🤣😂 I’m pinning this comment!!
THAT!!!
I’m not a musician but a lover of music. I wish I could understand what he was doing. Still I’ve been down the Jacob Collier rabbit hole for about a week now.
I'm a non-musician. I strongly disagree. I don't _"1. Ew, what is this ? Turn it off"_ That seems pure snobbery.
I don't suffer "3. Denial" - but you have 2 bullet point 3's anyway. I don't suffer 6 or 7 either.
I get the others. Conclusion? Non-musicians like me cope with Jacob Collier much better than you.
@@gbulmer it’s a joke mate
Thanks, Jeff. What a joy his music is, and it sometimes brings tears of joy to me, too; especially his arrangement of Moon River.

@@StrateleStudios Love that reaction you did to Moon River. The stunned expression on your face at the end matched mine very well.
When I first saw jacob's video's about 8 (9?) years ago, I was blown away - He was 18 or 19 years old at the time and I followed every video after that. The Flintstones video is 6 or 7 years ago and still an amazing accomplishment. I also love how he explains a lot of what he does in his Breakdown video's. His approach to music (especially Moon River) is extraordinary.
In case you didn’t see this one…

Hey Jeff! Jacob always makes me simultaneously beam with joy & sob at preposterous beauty & intricacy. It is jaw-dropping in the best sense of the word! Something about what he hears & exudes resonates with me, not because I know anything musically or out of familiarity, but the opposite. It's like he completes a chord or rhythmic pattern within me that I didn't even know I was missing, because I didn't know it existed.
Also: as far as your flashing art show experience, are you sure it was a big red dog & not Dino?! 😉😂
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂❤️
@Lavender Blue Mama What a wonderful description of your beautiful reaction and why - I recognize that as well as one of the things happening when I listen to Jacobs music🌈🙏🏼💜🤗.
@@lisedonsgrnning6518 Thank you! 💜🌈🎶
Glad to see the return of Jacob Collier to your channel Jeff! The word “genius” is thrown around way too easily these days, but I truly believe Jacob IS a true GENIUS!
I agree!!!!!!
That keyboard solo was not sped up. That is his signature melodica played in real time :)
👍
I love your reactions to Jacob. This was the first song of his I just stumbled over on RUclips and my musical life has been uplifted by the experience.
More coming!
@@StrateleStudios YAY!!!!! You are such a perfect person/musician to give us reactions on Jacob. Your expertise and humanity just shine through.
@@robote7679 thank you my friend! 😊😊😊
And then you should start to think how the video has been recorded, each Jacob as a one shoot. All in sync, all perfect takes of each voice…. The you should check his tiny desk concert video, there he plays 15 minutes or so, one take video (four of them) in perfect sync. He’s is not only a genius in creating, but also performing music. ❤❤❤
First of all, what an absolutely wonderful video and analysis. Thanks for that. Have to say that, watching your reaction framed by frame, I was laughing out loud and tearing up just as you were. Just a perfect way to start my day, thank you.
I’m so glad you did this one! One of my favorite shows growing up. Lol! He has captured the fun and joy this song always brought me AND he wasn’t even born yet!!! 🤯🥰
😂🤣😂🤣
Seems like there's a book missing from your set.. The transcription book by Jacob and June Lee.
This particular track is just genius. Not only is it flawlessly executed, but you can really hear the incredible range in his composing. I mean, a twenty-something year old drawing on harmony from mid 20th century big band and a capella groups, while still maintaining his own identity? Let's just say I can hardly wait until Djesse vol. 4 comes out.
And I know what you mean, Jeff. Jacob Collier really understand how to convey emotion in his music, so you just can't help laughing or getting those goose bumps or crying. Just take the opening track of Djesse vol. 1. I mean, I get goose bumps just remembering the harmony.
Whaaaaaaaaaa? Jacob has a book?!
Never ceases to amaze!
Mind blowing 🤯
Man your channel is the hidden gem that i looking for, you have a very good content and good musical taste, i would love to share your channel to my friends 👍
Paul, you just made my day! Thank you so much. 😊
This was a great reaction, Jeff! What a wonderfully playful performance from a giant mind!
Thank you, Annie! 😊😊😊
That's a Grammy winner right there, dude! One of his first...
You know it!
What a ton of fun!
There are lots of insane Jacob Collier a capella songa out there! This one got lots of awards though, I think it was still while he was studying
It certain deserves the accolades!
if we're going back to this jacob era, we should listen to "Fascinating Rhythm" by him. similar vibes and even wilder voicings in my opinion
also i'm not sure if the melodica solo is sped up. he plays similarly paced solos on piano
Pretty sure it is
hmm if you say so. all i'm saying is it's not out of character for him to play that quickly in his chromatic runs
@@nathanshults9901 oh I know he can play extremely fast it just looked so unnatural to me. But hey, I could be wrong 😄
May I suggest a reaction to "In The Real Early Morning" (BBC Proms) written and performed by Jacob Collier. I've listen to it so many times and get tears every time. Pure emotion.
Could not agree more, I was still in the initial shock stage you get with him (you know when it's like the sixth or seventh song and your struggling to process what's happening)
Then, with no context or info, that came on next on autoplay. I was sat there just gobsmacked start to finish, left amazed and weeping :)
The amount of reflection and introspection, consideration for others, ability to explain complex things simply, on top of everything musical and artistic, and being as young as he is relative to all that? It is very hard to write a short comment about it lol
I experience that song with tears too
Hilariously entertaining! The purple rocks!!
Thought you’d like that! 😊😊😊
I just found a recent BBC documentary on Jacob that someone thankfully uploaded to RUclips! Well worth checking out (it's a little over an hour long.) And if you're curious how Quincy Jones and Herbie Hancock reacted to hearing Jacob's rendition of "The Flintstones", well, check this out: ruclips.net/video/ERvd5QjupSU/видео.html
Thank you so much for this link. What a wonderful look inside the world Jacob occupies. Really appreciated getting to see this. Thanks again most sincerely.
I can’t wait to sit down with this!!! Thank you for the link!
Finally Jacob Collier is back on the channel!
Finally a video of his that’s not blocked! 😂
MORE! He's amazing...something from djesse 2!
I was laughing with you! Thank you 😊
😄😄😄👏👏👏💙
Bro, I cried too
YASSSSS!!!!!🙏🏼😃🙏🏼😃🙏🏼💜🌈❤️😍🥰🤗🤗
Ohhhh, you know I LOVE Jacob Collier🙏🏼💝💖, and like with Aurora (in their one ways, energies, colors, light and right) there are just several extra and special layers almost impossible to describe ….. the inner/outer worlds ….. just amazingly touching, beautiful, mind-blowing and often yet with a beautiful childlike innocent approach, curiousity and playfulness combined with the wishes to share with us all … and the humour and yeah, much more, indeed - to so many people kinda big openers of heart/body/mind-experiences through the incredible talents and the wonderful human beings, they are ….. like expanding our comprehensions of and connections/connectedness with the world …… Gratefulness flowes …… 💜🌈🙏🏼🤗.
Hahahaaa, yes, and there is just SOO much going on!!! And at the speed of light!!!🤣😂🤣😂😂😂🤯⚡️🥳🌈💫🌟💐
I totally get why it’s difficult to know, where to begin and where to end commenting and analysing🌈🤯😅 (maybe there isn’t any beginning nor end😄😉), but it was absolutely both wonderful, educational, cracked me up, joyful and heartwarming, Jeff - thank you SO SO much!🙏🏼💖💐❤️🥰💚🤗
Btw.: I loved your description of pictures popping up😄😃👍🏼🌈 (I see a lot of pictures and like a sped-up movie sometimes, too😄🌈), and your thought train re. how other outlets might have looked like - I can totally imagine that🤣😂🌈🤗.
In the beginning back then I was totally flabbergasted after listening to and watching these a capella videos from Jacob!!!🤯😍🤯🥰 (as my own active background was singing/a capella groups/rhythmic choirs/amazing workshops several years at Aarhus Vocal Festival (AAVF/DK) with amazing guests like eg. Bobby McFerrin an many more already “preparing” us outside the box musically so to speak etc.). WHAT an inspiration!!!!😃😃😍🤩🌈🎶
As if that wasn’t enough in itself, it all took off with all his other skills, instruments and what have you and …. phew🤣😂😂😅 ….. and yeah, I never left!🥰🥰 Really often listen to some of his music and at various levels depending ….. 🌈😂🤯🥳🥹💚💚💚💚💚💚💚💚🙏🏼🤗.
These videos from Jacob are a treasure! They really are! The gifts he brings the world are priceless and it’s so hard, sometimes, to articulate the feelings that are felt when experiencing his music. 💥🎉🎊🎁❤️🥂🤯
Yes, they really are! Like an endless amount of facets in the most beautiful diamond✨💎✨🌈🤗.
And yes, it is not Just the ingeniousness (eventhough the levels are really high🤯🤯), but also the emotions and feelings occouring while listening to him and his creations, which sparks fireworks all over the place within the listener (if allowing it) 💫🌟✨🌈🤗.
I Love feeling the ongoing motion of life within his built-in rhythm (like the motion of an egg consistantly rolling♾️) in many of his songs ….. ahhhh🙏🏼💚🌱☺️🤗.
This is Gary Burton-level talent; as much as his physical abilities both vocally and instrumentally are pretty much off the charts, it seems to me that his REAL superpower is being able to conceive of this stuff. I've spent a long life being impressed by the progressive branches of rock and jazz, but NONE of it prepared me for Jacob Collier.
It’s mind blowing Ralph!
A couple of things I haven’t seen mentioned in my initial scan of comments.
1. The Flintstones Theme is based on a time-honored structure of “Rhythm Changes” used by countless musicians throughout the bebop era.
2. I would dispute the keyboard solo was sped up. it’s being played on a melodicon which JC has modified to have a hose attached to the normal mouthpiece so it can be played 2-handed (I’ve seen him play it live on another video). So imagine him flying across a ludicrously small keyboard and simultaneously blowing into a hose to power this melodicon to produce the wizardry that is heard on the recording.
3. I still don’t know what happens on the final chord change, but it is incredible.
This is the first song I ever heard from JC and I instantly became obsessed and spent that evening (and many since) listening to everything he has posted on YT. Because of JC, I discovered Snarky Puppy when I stumbled upon the song he recorded with them. It was, indeed, a VERY good evening.
Jacob is the music God!
You know it!
All I have to say is…
YASSSSS!!!!!
😂
😂🤣😂🤣👏👏👏
YASSSSS!!!!!👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼😃😂😅
Actually, Jeff, have you ever seen any of his recordings in the DAW? They’re TERRIFYING, the amount of tracks he uses is ridiculous 🤯
Duuuuuuuude I’ve seen his sessions and it makes me dizzy and slightly nauseous 😂🤣😂. Avid just changed their versions across the board so the version I use went up to 512 available tracks. I’m ready to try some Jacob vox. 😂
@@StrateleStudios Man 🤯 Just imagine the processing power the computer would need with all of those tracks in use though 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 This was a great reaction man, glowing review, smiling all the way. Love it! 💖
If you haven't seen/heard his cover of Bjork's Hyperballad - you have to watch it. i've never seen anything like it
You should do a comparison video between the official Samsung tune Over the Horizon by Dirty Loops (2016) and Jacob Collier (2017). Both are worth checking out but it would be fun if you played them both.
I did react to both of the videos separately but did really compare them to each other very much. Both were really interesting in their own right! I really enjoyed them!
Jeff, I enjoyed you more than I did the song!!! LOL
Hahahaha, brother, you made my day 😆
He was playing a Melodica. It literally wasn’t sped up. He was playing that fast.
I need proof 😆
@@StrateleStudios I owned one at one point. It’s like a harmonica but it’s big enough to be a tiny keyboard. There’s a tube going in one end of the keyboard that he’s blowing air into to vibrate small metal bars just like an accordion or harmonica. The range of the notes coming from the Melodica is correct. Sped up, it would sound like a terrible soprano Melodica (which would be a HARMONICA) in a range MUCH higher than it’s built to be able to go. Google a melodica the size he’s playing
@@guyroseen7025 I’m familiar with the Melodica (Joe Jackson used to play one way back in the 80s when I first heard one). You can speed up any track without altering the pitch at all (believe me I’ve used it as a cheat many times hahaha). You have to be careful not to overuse it or you get nasty artifacts. What was the tip off for me was the speed that his had switched positions. It looked inhuman to me. He can probably play the riff in the location he’s at with that speed but it was the transitions that threw the flag for me. It didn’t look sped up by very much though just a little bit as far as I could tell. I’ll have to ask Jonah to ask Jacob for us. If you’re right I’ll buy you a beer 🍺 😉😊
Absolutely you are correct! I do know that is possible, however,if you watch other live videos of him playing electric guitar, bass guitar, and piano, LIVE, you’ll see his speed and dexterity.
Also if you’ll notice when notes hang over others as he plays them. There is no sustain pedal. Those split-second notes that inconsistently hang over each other because of human error (imperfect legato) are very hard to replicate one you’ve let a computer program have its way
Not into music Jacob would likely be a mathematician - yes, and architect. Can you imagine the cities he would build? I can't, but just imagine!!

Ow gawd that is awful.. talk about miss use of autotune
