If this song was a place, I would live there forever.
cringe
Madhav Raghu isn’t it?
Damn near fell off my chair reading this
I couldn't agree more
Wait you got a like from Jacob
That's a thing
I WANT ONE
so beautiful
June Lee :)
We agree.
Thanks June for being awesome
Jacob: "uploads a ballad", June: "you've heard my prayers"
@June Lee I wish you strength! You can make it : )
Yes
What an emotional ending ❤
How many artists have featured their mum in a song? JC you are so pure.
The Cowsills? Not featured, but sang on the records. Can't think of anyone else.
Tim Boxall Owl City did that once
I am sure Jacob is the kind of guy who didn't mind if his mom dropped him at school, and even kissed her goodbye. I wouldn't be surprised if he did that till this day if the occasion arises.
@@rafaelliteral1755 absolutely certain. You don’t get this kind of genius springing forth so effortlessly while simultaneously holding on to self conscious embarrassments. So pure. And he looks to be quite impervious to both shame and adulation. Rare. I have never thought this about someone I don’t know, but his mere existence is a bright spot in my life
NF
Don't get me wrong, Jacob's compositional skill and ideas are incredible and the music in this song makes me tear up. But the final nail in the coffin that makes me bawl my eyes out is the lyrics. I don't think he gets enough credit as a poet, because the lyrics in this song are so real that it's heart-breaking. Beautiful beautiful beautiful song.
Massive Jacob Collier fan here too, but like the one issue I have with him is his lyrics can be incredibly bland and cheesy. Like this song in particular, it kinda sounds like every love song ever written, devoid of any personality, very run of the mill. Ofc he can write really great lyrics when he wants, like in The Real Early Morning for instance. But would be interested to know what do you or anyone else get out of the lyrics on this song?
@@tom_sundog I find that with this particular song, the lyrics are kind of vague and this allows for them to be left for interpretation. In doing so, the audience is affected in various different ways. If you inspect the lyrics, they are bland - no doubt about that. However, combined with the music and structure of the whole piece, it's bound to pull some heartstrings regardless of what experiences one might go through. Some might think about the song in a romantic context; others can listen to it and remember a deceased loved one and seeing them again in the afterlife (I'll hold you once more). That's what I find is the most beautiful part of this song - the lyrics work in conjunction with the music regardless of how one interprets it.
@@dimadozen5199 ahh yeah I see what you mean, comes down to taste and experience and the time you listen I suppose :)
@@tom_sundog To be honest, i don't think that he is that interested in lyrics.
@@tom_sundog , with the exception of a few of his songs, particularly Djesse, I completely agree.
Once you needed somebody
To hold you close to your body
But I'd already gone
Once you listened for someone
A voice to soothe your aching heart
And I told you goodbye
Time passes us by
It seems like our day is gone
But I know, in my heart, I’ll always care for you
And you'll care for me
And I will always remember the world we shared
The road may be long, long, long, long
But someday I'll hold you close
Once more
Time passes us by
The sun in your eyes is gone
But I know, in my heart, I’ll always shine for you
But I know I will always remember the world we shared
The road may be long, long, long, long, long, long, long
But someday I'll hold you close
Once more
I'll hold you, hold you once more, hold you once more
Gonna hold you, I'm gonna hold you, hold you
Hold you once again
The road may be long, the road may be long, long, long
Long, long, long
I'm gonna hold you
Man, why doesn't CZcams app allow copying text from comments???
Thanks dude for typing it up!
Thanks soul sickle from league of legends
Thanks 😊
@@Andrey.Balandin It's been three years since your comment, lol, but you can take a screenshot and copy the text using google lense ;)
@@etherealstars5766 Yes. But the point is that you shouldn't have to. Somebody in Google intentionally blocked comment copying for no apparent reason, and it's not right.
What really excites me is the fact that Jacob Collier's best stuff is yet to come
EXACTLY! As I said in another video, there's still three volumes to be released...
Jacob must be thinking right now: "enjoy the top of this Iceberg poor humans, 'cause the BIGGEST trip of your lives is about to begin!" hahahahahah
@@felipeleao7562 honestly if I was him I'd think like that
i hope he doesnt go into that bobby-fischer-saying-chess-is-not-good-anymore sort of crazy

Stephen Docherty well I suppose there have always been ignorant fucks through the ages, like those who thought Bach, Beethoven and Mozart were crap...
This song hits different when you have a loved one pass away. My cat just passed away today and this song is true catharsis. Goodbye Gigi. One day I’ll hold you again. (2008 - December 19 2022) ❤
This is incredible. It's amazing to see how far you've grown since I first started watching you on CZcams. You're a huge motivation for me as a composer, and I wanted to find some way, somehow, to thank you. I don't know why, but I just do. You inspire me. You inspire everyone around you. And that is a superpower that no one can take for granted.
_June Lee clears out his calendar for the next month_
xD
Please yes! XD
I can hear Sinatra here; unbelievably devastating and beautiful composition.
Indeed so! I was just thinking that. Same vibe as "September of my Years", similar orchestral colour.
This song is a f**king masterpiece. Good god. It’s a damn shame it doesn’t have millions of views…
Okay, so just had to say: several musicians I’ve talked to get depressed hearing your music because of the ridiculous amount of skill you’ve developped, but I still don’t get it. It’s so full of life! I can’t help but be inspired to practice and write more than ever!!
It's because this part of the album isn't as crazy as some of the stuff he puts out there
IJ Films what’s your point?
@David Blotchhead I don't think it's a matter of choice... you don't "choose" to feel sad when a loved one dies, and in the same manner (though not the same severity) you can't "choose" not to feel jealous. You can convince yourself over a long time but it's not a simple "choice".
@David Blotchhead I also had the same experience. I used to get depressed hearing certain people, but Jacob helped me to turn that around. There is just so much life in what he does, that gradually I stopped getting jealous or depressed about hearing people better than I currently am, epecially when they are much younger than I am. That life and energy has since become the fuel for me to keep pressing towards what I want to be. Those people better than me became my biggest motivator. That being said, it's not like Jacob's music magically flipped a switch somewhere in my brain, it took conscious effort to shift my perspective over.
It seems to me it's the matter of initial motivations. Speaking for myself, I got demotivated and stopped making music and in retrospect I realize what I was looking for in music was mainly validation of my talent. I got plenty until I got no more.
I admire the most those artist that succeed in staying true after achieving success. It shows their love for art is bigger than their love for themselves.
I just can’t even with this one.❤️
Cover plz???
Aimeeeeee!
I get the sense that this is how spiritual awakening must feel
This song sounds very christmas despite the lack of dm7b5
😂
Stop calling it Dm7b5 It's Fm6
Dm7b5 = Fm/D
fair enough :P
d half diminished .......... :)
This song is for Jacob and music adorers, as well as critics who claim he is a soulless technician alike (yep, they're out there).
Spellbinding.
I love this album, and I’m so lucky this is being made in my lifetime. It’s so ahead of our time and understanding. For everyone other than June, of course.
Owen Imhof I was thinking the same thing last night... we really are blessed to get to experience Jacob at the ground floor.
Claus Ogerman meets Vince Mendoza/Joni Mitchell and crystalizes in Jacob's new fluid imagination, reaching new zeniths ! Absolutely beautiful !
So not what I was expecting. This was recommended by a friend and as I typed in DJ, EDM was going on in my head. What a pleasant surprise to my ears.
No one is going to talk about the fact that the genius mother of the genius is playing alongside the genius, making this genius squared??? (Not to mention an INSANELY talented orchestra on top of that.)
Meagan Alexander, thanks for clarifying who Susie Collier is! Wasn’t sure of the relation.
@@stephenmay4213 Of course! :)
sent by dodie. this song is so utterly beautiful. wow
Ugly cried to this one; I'm often touched by music, but this track was really something else. It's rare for me to be so moved. You've created something inexpressably beautiful here, Jacob.
This song makes me love someone I've never known, miss a place I've never been and remember something I've never lived
Jacob has this power of making me happy for something and I dont know what this something is
Totally
Just like Charles Aznavour made me feel nostalgic of my twenties when I was still 10 years old..
Nicely said.
Like a dream you can’t quite remember. You just know you have to get back there.
Jacob, you are simply one of the most amazing human beings on this planet. Thank you so much for sharing your gifts and being a beacon of joy. Can't wait to see you in person next year! If possible, a hug from you would mean the absolute world. ❤️
Everything past 7:18 is one of the most beautiful, glorious climaxes I've ever heard in any music.
The trumpets introduced at 8:04 are just phenomenal composing.
Jacob Collier’s music is just so inspiring for me because I believe it is the closest to pure, raw expression I’ve ever heard. In a world like today’s, that sort of thing feels a bit hard to come by. It reminds me to always stay true, genuine, and to always pursue what I love. Thank you, Jacob, truly.
My feelings turn into tears whenever I listen to this. Makes me think in all of the loved ones I've lost, in a beautiful and comforting way. Thank you Jacob 🙏💟
this is the most beautiful song that i had ever heard i think
i was really moved when i heard for the first time
i am a japanese man.i really want jacob to come tokyo again!
best track on this album
Today I saw a dream, I was on a really high mountain top and I could hear the starting voilen of this song
Listening to this masterpiece while it snows is just magical.
As a singing/composing/playing mom with an arranging/composing/singing son, I am so touched by this loveliness.
I absolutely am I'm with you there, my son's off at Music School, I'm a professional musician, and I'm going to see Jacob Collier March 6 in Nashville!
@@shelleymartin1451 My son's at Belmont...yours? (3 kids from his HS choir here in NJ are at Belmont!) Hope you have a blast at the show.
Thank god for motherhood and music-hood. 👩👦
Who needs an album when this exists.
This is definitely my favourite on the album.
and theres three more to come :D
this is simply one of the most astonishingly emotional songs ever written, imbued with such pure, to the degree of brutality, beauty. .
and what is beauty if not Love, the exact thing that constitutes this masterful piece of art.
what an exciting time we live in, indeed
This is ridiculously beautiful. This is one of the only songs to ever actually make me cry. The harmonies are so dense and rich. You know when to use just the right amount of spice in your chords to give it enough edge so that the resolution is stronger. Like holy smokes, the changes in this are just gorgeous. You are such an inspiration to me. Thank you for this truly beautiful piece of music.
this is the most beautiful song i've ever heard
Jacob Collier re-defines what means to be a human in this day and age.
Yes definitely...
Human, not A human you mean. Jacob’s music is a way to connect with other humans to build and enjoy a fine and peaceful world with the fantastic tools and instruments we have today. To help taking away weird inter-human borders in stead of (re)creating obstacles on the planet. Learn to Listen not to shout.
Exactly . I don't know how did it, given his youth!
There's such a vivid evocation of ageing, mortality/immortality and being weathered down by life. I was already imagining listening to this in my senior years with an even stronger connection to the piece as a whole. Thank you Suzie and Jacob.
My partner asked me to listen to this song after it make him tear up the other day and I can now see why! I was In tears in the first 30 seconds. It's such a beautiful and emotional peice truly amazing 💖
It's lovely to hear this divine music and also to read the wonderful comments and feel part of Jacob's "musical family". Amongst all the other things he does brilliantly, is there anybody else who pulls off such daring and unexpected modulations and resolutions to chordal passages that still somehow sound absolutely natural?!
No.
Wow. I'm a newer fan, have only known of Jacob since this past October, but today is my first time hearing this song. My new favorite song of his. Absolutely breathtaking.
Sometimes I remember this man is the same species as me. How?
This is such a beautiful work of art. I lost my mother unexpectedly three months ago. It’s been tough not getting to talk to her anymore, but this piece brought a small layer of comfort. Thank you so much for the music you make.
I come to back to this song whenever I need to take a step back from the world. It is truly an experience that transcends space, as if all burdens are lifted and gently put to bed. The motion in this song just pulls you in and shows you all that it wants to show, as it bleeds tenderness.
One must attempt to glimpse at the genius and fearless exploration this man shares. Someone expressed that his music has no melodic value... using Quincy Jones' 600 tracks for Michael Jackson's video, for instance. The human brain needs to identify, categorize and make sense of what we hear; those are our limits. Music has no boundaries. The integration of orchestral bliss, crooning jazz changes, the ridiculously challenging 7/8 over 5/8 or 21/2 rhythms... the 1/4 tone pitch modulations. It may be too much for one's limited theoretical knowledge or current ability to absorb, and that's understandable. To feel bombarded is where you're at, and that's okay, too. Listen and then listen again. Then listen intently, then listen to enjoy. Listen to appreciate. Listen to hear. Listen to find. Listen with a larger aural perspective. Listen with no judgment. Listen.
This is what I love so much about Jacob's music. It is a bit (quite a bit, to be honest) beyond my theoretical understanding, yet it is so beautiful; it goes right past my brain to my spirit.
Yessssss 100%
I'm a believer that just because the music is theoretically complex doesn't make it good - emotions can be delivered through simple harmony as well, which is potentially heresy.
Nevertheless, I enjoy JC's music a ton and so it's good to me at the very least. I also think that much of pop music doesn't use harmony, even simple harmony, to its full capabilities.
But I wonder if we could extract this same level of enjoyment from other artists if we gave them the same level of respect as we give to JC? Here we are, going into his album expecting to be blown away and listening for every single detail. We're sort of already entering with a mindset that whatever we think is 'bad' is just something we don't understand, or a creative liberty on JC's part. What if we gave every single artist this privilege?
Are we biased towards JC and is that necessarily a bad thing? If we really listened to all music (yes, even pop) with no judgement? Sometimes I find myself listening to JC only searching for good qualities, while ignoring any aspects that would irk me if it was any other artist.
Fearless genius is very accurate. Everything is so rich and alive, like you can't learn this shit in school. You have to connect with life.
I think you nailed it. I get super introspective about myself when I listen to this, and like you say, we want to quantify everything when often like his music, too often comprehension shouldn't be the goal, but rather appreciation and realisation is really more integral to understanding. I'm going to listen to this a few more times to get more appreciation and realisation.
This song makes me think of my late father. I feel this song is a voice of him to assure he still loves me and prays for me. Tears and warmth come to me at the same time. I am so thankful to JC and whole orchestra for this incredible music. JC’s music shines. 💐
I think this is what heaven sounds like.
magic that makes me cry, magic that touches my soul deep down there. magic that illuminates my dark heart, thank you..
This is the most beautiful song ever, no contest
honestly, I feel exactly the same way, for real
So wholesome, so full of wonder
I am a life long musician (could never be this good) but I have NEVER made popcorn to listen to an album in my life. Hours of entertainment. Visions. Beautiful
Thank you for existing, Jacob !
Why is this so much better than any antique Disney song
why does he get compared to disney lmao, they are very different
@@NakatesXig it's just a lot of people's only point of comparison with "whimsical orchestral" stylings
oh Jacob, you are spreading something that goes way beyond music.. Wonderful, wonderful and one more time wonderful. Thank you.
This masterpiece and your cover song "as" have to be the two most incredibly beautiful, pure and tearjerkingly wholesome songs I have ever heard. You are changing lives with the love in your heart.
The beginning reminds me of Rautavaara's harp concerto, 2nd movement. Very beautiful!
thanks for the recommendation! didn't know that one yet
HIs music is so incredibly soulfully done
one of the very few songs that could bring me to tears :) thank you for being you, Jacob
This is the most majestic thing I’ve ever heard
This song is another delicate MasterPiece of Artwork! Jacob, Suzie, Jules and all your creative performers, thank you so much! Jacob wipes the borders away between classical, jazz and pop to create Real Music for the Heart...
Vocal vibrato…first time I heard him do that. Love love love love
Absolutely in love with Jacob Colliers Music. We were truly blessed when he was brought into this world. His creativity blows my mind.
I just cried
Same, man. I really needed that haha.
Imagine seeing and hearing this live.....
This music is proof that life is eternal
I'm already feeling nostalgic about the time I first listened to this song.
This is magic Jacob. Outstanding, brilliant. This has 10,000 views and songs like "Despacito" reach 2,000,000,000... There's clearly something wrong...
Mo money, Mo media, Momentum. Same thing can happen in politics where a better candidate loses to a lessor competitor. But there could be so much more to it so idk forget i said anything.
Very unexpected from such a young artist. This song is amazingly beyond boundaries.
I feel this song towards my mom. Difficult to remember moms have aching hearts when we’re kids but as I grow up I really see my mom as someone I truly love.
This has just taken a whole new meaning to me and that is mind blowing
No matter how many times I hear this, it soothes and thrills me. I’m so thankful to have discovered this amazing artist.
Again, and again, and again, and again. This guy just keeps on deliverin’. Congrats, Jacob, you made me tear up once more.
"I'll hold you close" cause "he won't hold you"
I know this feeling... I know it too well. I have this cycle where memories come pouring out of me all of the sudden. It usually happens to me every 5 years or so. These flashbacks are very strong, and I get to relive the past with my current brain. The seemingly subtle emotions of the moments always come back to me amplified. Sometimes, they hit me so strong that I don’t how to deal with them. Even if I could express it, to whom do I directed to? The time has long gone, and yet the memory is so precious. It’s unsettlingly floating around in the air with nowhere to go.
Jacob, you have allowed me to bring peace to these feelings. Thank you for sharing your world with your magical abilities.
I have no adequate words to describe how I feel after hearing this Exquisite Transformative piece. Thank you, Jacob Collier!
This one really pulled tears out of me.
Lo mejor de Jacob Collier aún esta por venir...con más madurez...y si se mantiene alejado de los vicios del éxito, podrá perfeccionar su armonización y hacer cortes mas sutiles, con mayor experiencia hará mejores melodías, ojala sin perder esa frescura y creatividad...es una humilde opinión...te deseo mucho éxito en tu carrera.
The actual moment that took me off was the enter of the double basses^^
Some of the production détails are really impressive.
I came back here because I just remembered how I cried to this song last year when I first listened to it. I thought I was just extra emotional that day, and so, I listened to it again the next day. Nope, this song definitely holds something magical. I don't know how to put what I felt into words, but I do I wish I could go back to when I first listened to this and experience it all over again.
Thank you for the music, Jacob!
Just WOW, the skill and talent from such a young man is amazing he sounds like a mature musician, what will the future bring!
That Celeste is just right for this piece 👌
First time I thought i could see my grandad after he passed. I don't think a song has hit me so hard.
The man is a master of his craft. Truly gifted. He is to be cherished. He inspires us with beautiful sounds. I also love that he has collaborated with Jules Buckley whose orchestrations provide an extra depth to Jacob’s music. Thank you Jacob. We love you.
This is a masterpiece...
Absolutely breathtaking. And beautiful playing by your mother.
Lyrics:
Once you needed somebody
To hold you close to your body
But I'd already gone
Once you listened for someone -
A voice to soothe your aching heart -
When I told you goodbye
Time passes us by, seems like a day is gone
But I know in my heart I'll always care for you
And you care for me
And I will always remember the world we share
The road may be long (long, long, long)
But someday I'll hold you close, once more
Time passes us by, the sun in your eyes is gone
But I know in my heart I'll always care for you
And I will always remember the world we shared
The road my be long (long, long, long, long, long, long)
But someday I'll hold you close, once more
I'll hold you
Hold you once more, hold you once more
I'm gonna hold you
I'm gonna hold you, hold you
Hold you, once again
The road may be long (the road may be long, long, long, long, long, long)
I'm gonna hold
[If you spot any mistakes, a little hint in the comments is appreciated :)]
aknopf Sounds like “once more” to me
Seconds in and I already feel entranced.
I wish that we never age so Jacob wouldn't age either that he remains beautifully this way and then let's stay as it is. Listening to this piece is like sitting at the death drive and everything else is still - the Big Real. I would listen to this piece only once and yes only once and think of this piece as a memory, being held once more as the past tense and only once ever being held this way so it lasts forever.
Not every day a song makes me give myself a hug
Imagine a world that at the beggining of morning, this sound, come to our ears from the sky... maybe the haven could be like this
oh my gosh this is the most beautiful thing ever! My new favorite song!
...for now, I guess...
So beautiful! This song took me to another place! You can feel so much love in this song, like a bond between Jacob and her mother, unique and wonderful... I feel so connected to Jacob´s music, I can´t understand why, I guess it is our love to classical and jazz music and to music in general, I love to compose, sing and play the piano just like him!
I'm going through some difficult times, because I broke up with someone that I truly cared about. But Jacob's music, and especially this particular song, has given me an incredible amount of power and relief. His music reminds me that life goes on. It's both inspiring and soothing, I feel like crying and laughing at the same time. I really look up to him as a musician, and I hope that some day I could write something even remotely as good as this.
jacob your latest songs have really delved into your mind and your compositional skills. You are insanely talented and even more inspirational. Keep doing you man we all love hearing it.
I feel like I need to buy bigger speakers just to appreciate this more
Amazing violin from Suzie!
You do....
@@BillyBongwaters I have a bedroom studio with nice monitors but no subwoofer. Christmas is coming so... cross my fingers lol
Thank you, gives me peace!
I am so in love with this genius!!! This song is just MAGIC!!! Brought me to tears....
I took this as dodies very personal "try not to cry" challenge, but I miserably failed. So Beautiful
This is a real stab in the heart
Those drawn-out, calming, serene hold you close once more's get me every time
How can anyone sing that so cleanly when all those loved ones suddenly appear before your inner eyes
