A lot of people admire Jacob for his musical prowess. BUT DONT SLEEP ON THOSE AFTER EFFECTS SKILLS GOD DAMN
does he edit the videos?
yes
R0b1zzle137 exactly what i was thinking watching this. Damn!
the keyboards floating around lol
He's gonna become a Sir Jacob Collier one of these days...
stairway11 I really hope so.
hows life
Ammm, already?
It’s probably gonna take some time
@@MyPosible sir as in officially by the queen bud
Jacob, you're a musical genius my man. Please keep uploading to CZcams. Quincey Jones sent me here.

Unbelievable. Jacob, I cannot wrap my mind around the talent that you possess. Inhuman. Thank you for the power of your musical voice. It shakes me at the core.
Oh my god hey Jonny
Hey jonny
After this video I've just started to grow and feel some new areas in my brain.
Marco Risolino i feel my iq point increase 1 per day too
Collier is the jewel of this century. I'm glad I was born in the same era that Collier will be recorded to have lived.
Jacob's music fills me with a rich blend of awe and fear.
It's beautiful, but disturbing.
+AlanKey86 Most def.
+AlanKey86 Sublime is the term you're looking for! :)
+AlanKey86 You know, sometimes I wonder if this either him making a statement or him just playing around.
+AlanKey86 Truly Truly Disturbing.... But the boy is a genius the way he throws in off beat minor cords.... God.. The kid has a future
+AlanKey86 It's fucking good, Jacob is brilliant, he has an amazing music culture, which can be scary for certain people, and what a groove... Very inspiring musician and crazy genius arranger!!!
How can this much talent exist in one person? You go Jacob!
and he just performed amazingly at the Quincy Jones Prom. Mesmerised by his performance. What a musician. www.bbc.co.uk/events/e6nbp6
When I was young, I had a small talent in music. But I could not continue to music for several reasons. I sometimes felt sad that I couldn’t continue to music. However, I find a person who expresses the music that I only paint in my head. In fact, it’s more beautiful. I have no more regrets in music. Right now, I’m the happiest person in the world!
To sum up this video in one sentence
"Whenever you think you're good at something; just remember you're shit."
... heard Jacob say someone and than he took his first intrument in his hands and said: "we'll see about that..."
If im reading this right, you mean
Jacob heard someone say that. Then, he grabbed his first instrument and said "we'll see about that..."
j.d just do your own thing man and be really good at it
j.d hhhhh yap
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH! Perfect!
Jacob Collier for world supreme dictator.
+bobbysbackingtracks 'Im up for it, anybody got a petition?
+Lucas Ornish I'm definitely sogning that shit!
+Simon Mitchell *signing
+bobbysbackingtracks Yes! We could have floating heads everywhere!
laughing so hard and completely down
Okay. The tempo shift from 4:37 to 4:40 gets me every time... his 7/16 goes to a slow 4/4, and his bass note rate consistently goes from 16ths in 7/16 to approximately quintuples in 4/4. On top of that, it's a stupid sick lick on bass - there are a ton in the video, and I know the video was sped up from a slower, manageable tempo - but that one's a gem. Genius craft, solid execution, incredible musical vision. Favorited and subscribed.
u play bass?
7/16??? holy shit... care to explain what goes on from 4:17? mostly
Not well enough to perform on it, but I understand it well enough. I'm a bassoonist, and a drummer/percussionist before that.
Runaspism: okay, this'll take a bit, but here's the best way I can explain it. From when JC sings "Love you..." at 4:16, there are basically three feels (except for the last three bars, which I'll explain at the end.)
A. 5/16 feel; basically a mix-meter swing of 3+2.
B. 4/16 feel; straight ahead, up-tempo feel.
C. 7/16 feel; slowest beat rate of 4+3.
In all of these feels, the 16th (or fast 8th, depending on your interpretation) is the common denominator of pulse; for reference, it's about 510 beats/minute. JC does a great job of masking the pulse by swinging the two slower feels (4+3, and 3+2), but it's there none-the-less. The full metric layout is this:
||: *3+3(5/16), 2(4/16), | 6(5/16), 2(4/16), |16(7/16) :|| **3(7/16), Glass shatter at 5:03.
* - the first 3 groups of 5/16 take place under the "love you" lyric, and sounds unmetered. The second time through this layout is where the bass solo occurs (4:38-4:40), also 3 groups of 5/16, plus an additional three notes on the front end.
** - final three groups of 7/16 occur from 5:01 to 5:03; the first group and a half feels like 4+3, but the last group and a half breaks differently. Overall, there are 21 extra pulses before the glass shatters.
Good luck.
One further note: most of the bass licks in Close To You take this one to school, but it's still impressive playing and writing.
Cheers JC.
thank you! well explained, that's insane... I knew there were some fives and maybe sevens happening, but I thought they were polyrhythms, and I was having trouble reconciling the tempo changes.
Signature changes make way more sense. JC is a monster.
This guy is a mad scientist! Not just the music which by itself is some kind of other-worldly experience- But the production value on this video is off the map too! "Planet Jacob Collier" indeed! I think he's already on a planet all by himself. Who else is doing this? Nobody I've seen.
Forget it, JACOB is a secret government project to determine the extent of the human mind....some gene mutation at his embryonic level no doubt.
Absolute Genius, period!
just give him 30 Grammys already.
this is gonna age very well
Only 26 to go, my friend.
Only 26 more now
Give him ALL the Grammy's. Hahaha.
LameWalkThroughs for putting you in your stupid little corner of ignorance
So this is what the Bachs are up to nowadays..
#FACTS
Bach even with the same music theory skills actually wrote pieces that were enjoyable, not experiments of how difficult can it be musically.
@@vegeta1885 Enjoyability is relative. Plenty of people think Bach sounds like shit
@@vegeta1885 This is pretty enjoyable to me
@@KentuckyFriedChildren If you say so
I am 54 years old and grew up listening to Stevie Wonder, Earth, Wind & Fire, Prince, Herbie Hancock, Chick Corea, Weather Report, Leonard Bernstein, Marvin Gaye, Carole King, Billy Joel, Burt Bacharach, Duke Ellington, Count Basie and my Godfather is Erroll Garner. So it's hard to get me excited musically because I grew up listening to some high level musicians, singers and arrangers.
I have a short list of young music artists who in my opinion are special and can make me smile when I listen to their musical talent and creativity. Bruno Mars, Adele, Dirty Loops and Snarky Puppy are 4.
But you Jacob Collier take the cake! I can't wait to see what you come up with next musically and visually. Your arrangements are GENIUS!!! Keep being YOU young man! You make me smile! :-)
What a trip. That bass is on fire dude.
Everything is on fire D:
The basses (!) are absolutely stunning 🤪
this is like if mozart had logic pro in his time
その例え好き
... and an electric bass :D
Doing a Michael Jackson cover?
mozart wasn't a jazz musician
@@TheLorax61 you take it as a cover bro? This is a fucking reimagination of the song, totally different approach. It ain’t even close to a simple “cover”
This is why Jazz is my favourite genre, it’s still fresh after a hundred years
But is it Jazz? More some new kind of fusion...
@@achenarmyst2156 still good!
@@achenarmyst2156 we cannibalize other genres along the way in our ultimate quest to destroy all music
@@achenarmyst2156 its a mix of jazz, pop, rock, soul, awesomeness, epicness and stuff
Just when I start feeling jaded about music, I hear something like this (or anything Jacob does) and a affirmation of my passion for music asserts itself once again. Dam near spiritual Jake. Thank You.
my gawd, dat bass!
+Jeheiel Smith the bass was my favorite part too!
+Jeheiel Smith and theorically he's a pianist, he just plays a little bass and percs as a hobby. Go figure.
+Emmanuel Florac Not really, bass was one of the first instruments that he learned. go look up his profile
+Jeheiel Smith as a bassist I appreciate too. There are a couple overdubs though. Just sayin. But hell wow !
+Kevin Gaudin it's all overdubbed. How could he possibly produce this live (alone) without overdubbing himself?
Man, I kinda wish to see how Michael Jackson would've reacted to this!!!
Ugh SAME.
What I want to say: "It's probably for the better he didn't."
When I came to my senses: "Oh yeah, me too!"
@@DBREW what is wrong with these people how are they loving this mess?!?
@@clownadread you need a certain IQ to understand this music
@@xavierneilangel3305 not IQ, just musical knowledge.
Please people, just let us enjoy something we can understand...
When he busted into the Dilla beat at 4:20, I got up out of my chair and walked out of the room
LOOOOL!
What's dilla?
Producer, beat maker, Jay Dee, "Dilla". One of the best that ever was! R.I.P.
Alexander McLeod thanks!
Me too. That drop was filthy.

Bro you call that solo anticipation?
That's pure assault if I've ever seen one
I can't even
Yup
+bstrd525 Spellbound and speechless. Somewhere, Michael Jackson is like DAMN! :)
+bstrd525 i know right?
+bstrd525 This sucks tho
Stephen Dobbins No, I can't do better. Just because I can't do anything good doesn't mean he's good.
Okay we know Jacob is a musical genius, but can we also talk about his video production skills??? Like damn he edited and filmed all this?! :)
dude even edited this on an ipad 💀
Over produced ????
You know that feeling when a song is so good that you don't even smile, but you just cringe and nod your head to the rhythms? That's me right now.
That would "stank face". Always a good thing.
S34WOLF YESSS that's the word! LOL
yes yes yes yes same (also I really appreciate your profile picture)
JoyDawn572 ah! Are you a Seventeen fan too? LOL
+Kaylah 케일라 H yea! I love them (I assume you do too haha)
Crazy! He jokes with us poor mortals.
Holy crap that was an experience.
my sentiments exactly! I feel like I just got off a rollercoaster
I hope the face I'm making doesn't stick.
+ocbfdog LOL
+ocbfdog I hope I can stop laughing one day after reading this :DDD
Jajajajaja
hahaha 😂
Hahahaha
My whole entire being tells me that Michael Jackson would be extremely proud and happy with this adventurous arrangement of his song.
3:07 Oh cool a bass solo
3:20 OH NOPE IT'S THE BASSLINE FOR A SOLO BECAUSE OF COURSE
Jacob you absolute madlad. Please continue being awesome.
Edit: I simply must say that 4:02 was the moment I realised just how much tambourine slaps
"P.Y.T." was written by *James Ingram* and Quincy Jones. The title actually came from another song Michael Jackson wrote with Greg Phillinganes that was intended for the "Thriller" album. The song wasn't chosen but James and Q wrote another song with the same title that was used.
Having said all of this, this is just bananas. This is what genius looks like. There are no other words. I also note some lyrical "changes" to MJ's recording here. They aren't bothersome at all, though, and if this weren't drowning in perfection the way it is, they might be.
+Nostril Jacker Love that bit of trivia as I thought the same...I also love the original Phillinganes version :)
***** - I love that version too. I get why they didn't include it on "Thriller" but it's a great tune. Frankly, everything Greg Phillinganes does is great so no surprise there. Turns out BlackSTREET used the same chords as the original version of "PYT" and came up with "Joy" - the second single off their first album. MJ even got writing credit on it. That's a great tune too!
+Nostril Jacker I never thought about the connection between the two songs. I knew MJ had a writing credit on "Joy" but I figured he actually worked on it separately...There's also a rumor that he contributed background vocals to that track!
***** Didn't know that! As thick as those backgrounds are (and based on the relationship between MJ and Teddy Riley at that point), it wouldn't surprise me.
Always loved MJs version on „Thriller“.
Jacob is incredible on so many levels, and I've been a fan for a while now.
However, this tune just didn't do it for me, for some reason. It feels over-embellished, with too much going on at all times, and no time to breathe. This for me kills build up and emotion. It feels like watching gymnastics when I'd like to see dancing.
In any case, this video is super entertaining and wowing, and it must have taken countless hours to put together. I just know Jacob can create tear-jerking work, and I look forward to that moment.
+A Cappella Trudbol (Julien Neel) it is called jazz ,,,,,,,
+A Cappella Trudbol (Julien Neel) I agree with you
+A Cappella Trudbol (Julien Neel) I can see why you think that. To me, it is just Jacob continuing to experiment and push the boundaries in whatever ways he can. Personally I really like that, but it's definitely over the top. To each his/her own.
+A Cappella Trudbol (Julien Neel) i agree, a little too much. Not to say it's not amazing
+A Cappella Trudbol (Julien Neel) same sentiments
Who else is revisiting this a few months after first hearing it and now like it even more...? :)
A few years! It's still more somehow!
I listen to this several times a day
I know he’s a genius and all, but can we take a minute and recognize his bass chops for a minute. My goodness!!! What a wonderful gift he is to all of us.
100% right. Otherworldly bass treatment.
fr especially at this time he hadn't unlocked the power of alternate picking and yet he played so cleanly and consistently
Really dude? Leave some room for the rest of us musicians. Geez.
Imagine being this guy and hearing a song on the radio
I saw a video where he had to remember lyrics, and he could only remember them by singing the basslines.
I think Collier is more fluent in music than he is in English.
@@tailbonetailbone9380 although he is exceptionally well versed in the English language.
Surprisingly he admires and respects a lot of newer songs and artists!
@@juicebox_music my favourite word of his is 'stegosaurusly', as in describing an action done with the stature and general energy of a stegosaurus. a master of english and music, he is.
"Hmmm... it's good... but it can be more... delicious..."
*shadow clone jutsu x50*
"Rightyo boys, let's harmonise this thing."
God took Prince but he cared enough about us to give us Jacob.
Well said!
nitrovbugatti Prince was a funk genius, but Jacob surpasses him being an all style genius.
nitrovbugatti you’re fucking psychotic
Achenar Myst Psycho
Chester Anand how lol
Am I the only one who felt like I was on acid whilst watching this? Great arrangement by the way Jacob!
Yeah when your on drugs sometimes things do seem nice until you sober up....
I'm viewer 1,000,000, almost. And I was also viewer 1345, 4882, 6029, 8035, and many more. I lost count how many times I've played this.
Definitely hearing and seeing the Knower influence in this arrangement, from both Louis Cole and Genevieve Artadi.
Has there ever been such a talented human being in music?
Reminds me of taking acid in the 80.. wonderful and crazy 😜 you must be natural high young man.. god bless you🎸🎹🥁🎶❤️
Can definitely feel the Dirty Loops vibe in this and I dig it
Yes! Exactly!
I hear that
This is Dirty Loops if they've completely lost their minds and gone off the deep end in the most wonderful way possible. This is Dirty Loops taken much further than they took it. I dig too 😀
This is waaaay higher than dirty loops hahaha
I would say more of a Louis Cole vibe
What in the actual fuck. This is phenomenal.
I honestly don’t understand how one human being, this young, can possess this amount of talent.
I miss this version of Jacob Collier 😢
me too, i dont like mainstream stuff at all, but i still dont mind his new form
This cover of an already amazing song is absolutely mind blowing. Pure genius.
For the none musicians, this is not as easy as he makes it appear!! What a work! 👍👍
Let’s be honest that’s not anyone watching this video 😂😂😂
Brilliant in every way! He does all of the production: singing, playing all of the instruments (real ones), films & edits it all. Very sophisticated musical styles & genres from a kid. Amazing!!
Not surprising this disturbs or frightens people; the level of accomplishment displayed on multiple instruments (and obviously other tech/production) is unprecedented. After the first play, I was actually surprised it was only 5min long, it's so dense, so many ideas going on, one right after the other, blended. I am amazed, no question. Whether or not it is supposed to be music to your ears is perhaps not the question.
Jacob’s best song... I’m calling it.
Is it too much to say all of them are the best?
Jacob's so talented it physically hurts me
Just came back around to melt my face off again. Those bass tones are thick as caramels. Dude modulates any more and those competing dominant scales are gonna overlap, tear open a wormhole, and summon something. Dude could hear you describe him as a genius, and he’d demonstrate how your voice slowed down while saying the word “genius” at precisely a 10,000ths of its exact spoken bpm would produce individual clicks that tap out his name in an alphanumeric sequence which happens to be the native tongue of his alien ancestors. We should protect and nurture this one.
I still remember the first time I heard this track 7 years ago: I knew I found one of the biggest musical geniuses of our time. Now, 7 yours later, I know I was right back then.
I discovered you with P.Y.T ! Today it's always so cool I love your Brain ! my brain is full ! so much information !
peace
I come back once a week, and every time it‘s as unbelievable as day 1.
Jacob Collier: a most beautiful flowering of the most humble of seeds which lie within us all
Love these works, rhythmically it is the equivalent of Meshuggah...kinda.
Actually I get you there, got me thinking of bleed...
haven't been this ecstatic while listening to a song in like MY ENTIRE LIFE.
So many things to re-listen for...
Superb job man
While watching this, blood dripped from my nose due to my brain exploding in my head! JC is a musical MANIAC!! The room is spinning right now!
This young man brings a whole new meaning to one man band. AMazing
Running out of superlatives to describe this guy...! All I can say is it's a true privilege to be able to listen to this god-given talent being used so effectively, inventively and memorably
Can’t stop laughing in sheer amazement..this is insane! And at 2:40 he just gets going….! Jacob, we love you for your skill, ingenuity, wit and creativity 🌿💛🔥🧡🌿
2 videos in one week? You can't do this to us, we still have to recover from how good the last one was!
AAAHHHH wow that is out of this world!!!! No one sounds like that... NO ONE SOUNDS LIKE THAAAAT!!!!
One of the best and complex arrangment ever!! Jacob you are one of the gratest and I listening to jazz in 40 years!
When i grow old, im gonna tell kids this is the type of good music we listened to back in the day
Showing off. 😂
Uh. Oh. Don't know what to say. It's an honor to be able to watch your videos, Jacob.
Simon Oslender Truly Bamboolicious and saturated with Pandrenaline 😉
literally have not ever been this happy to subscribe to a channel in 9 years of youtube
Not just great writing and playing; this is pure joy in mixed media. The hairs stood up on the back of my neck when Q pointed at me. WOO, shivers!
His drum kit part at 0:33 was filmed in reverse! Did anybody catch that??
holy shit I think you're right, how did you even catch that? I only heard it after you pointed it out
But why??
I wanna like this but it has 33 likes so I can't. Anyway, that's *so* redundant, and **so** cool!!! :D
I think its not a reverse.. just speed editing
I was too busy watching him shred on the bass to catch the drum part haha
2 videos in one week? What a treat!
he is killing it with that bass, danm.
Still blows my mind with details
Thank god for Quincy Jones Productions, amiright?
Someone's been hanging out with Louis Cole!! Love it man.
after so many years still one of my favorites....what a bass line...😅
Mind blown. Over and over. Every song he does is incredible!
The most imaginative, virtuoistic bass lines I've heard since discovering Dirty Loop's bassist, Henrik Linder and Italian bassist Federico Malaman!
Dirty Loops are absolutely insane!!!!
Blowin' our minds...AGAIN
I still don't understand why this hasn't gone viral yet.
+Lucas Ornish I was wondering the very same thing!!!!
You made me fly away Jacob........ Awesome what a Genious arrangement...... Woooooooooww
4:19 this is on some other plane of rhythmic existence that us mere mortals cannot hope to comprehend. Seriously, what is going on here? I love it but for the life of me I can't make sense of it.
Metric modulation
Sos un genioooooooooooo!!!!!!!!! saludos desde Argentina!!!!!!
I finally found some serious FUNK on this one ! Layers of BRILLIANCE !
Wow, that's groove!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder, what type of master piece could come from this genius and Dirty loops ...
Had a coworker listen to this. At 2:50-> he stated: "I feel like being on acid, holy shit man."
To prevent madness do not attempt to listen to this song over and over again, you have been warned, absolutely brilliant Jacob.👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
RAHPRO ENTERTAINMENT Too late 😂
Just watched deciphering of the meters at the end. 5/16 4/16 7/16 and whatnot. I am blown away, dancing to this is a memory practice and a joyful one indeed!
Not only is he a fantastic musician, this much is very true. But he is ALSO very fortunate to have all of that gear at his disposal when ever he wants. I am absolutely certain there would be many more like him if gear of that standard was available/affordable to just anyone!
I don't think so. I've run a recording studio for 30 years and have been a musician myself for more than that. This kind of talent simply doesn't exist. I know that sounds crazy, but he's the next up after Galileo, Tesla, Einstein, Michael Jordan... Just so many levels above anyone else. That doesn't mean I don't appreciate/love/respect others out there. There are certainly ASTOUNDING musicians. Jacob is just different. His brain is just different.
Complete BS. Jacob could outperform anyone with little more than a ukulele and a shaker.
Jacob, Jacob, Jacob, can't you see? Sometimes your new sounds hypnotize me.. 😍
A new star at the funk heaven....incredible !
A very bright one 💫
I am completely and utterly overwhelmed. My head is spinning and my body is buzzing. This is disturbing and strange and awesome and confusing ... I just, what?
first time i watched this i had to stop it before the end to calm down a bit because it tripped me out and made me feel uncomfortable. genius. i'm so glad i ran into this video and discovered you.
sing by himself(perfectly), play the instruments by himself(perfectly, also), edit the video by himself(another perfection), mixing all those recordings by himself(no shit)... no more saying, he's an alien!
OMG the bass, OMG the key solo, and that hellish cool look of those black and white passages.
i don't see any angle here why they disliked this amazing Jacob Collier cover.... Until now i'm still inlove with this cover.
