      Everything Jacob Collier says and do is utterly boring and primitive. The "complexity", "genius" and "talent" is some kind of projection on him coming from the mentally limited people in his audience. People want to be him, so they attach all those imaginary epithets on him. Then just because he is nice like a manipulative salesman, he can get away with anything. The music sucks bad and is beyond the horizon of hell. The music and the spoken word from Collier sucks like a black hole. But even worse is that his salesman talent is overshadowing everything about and around him. He is even potentially able to sell "assisted suicide" service in Switzerland to the most happy people in his own audience. He is the false prophet more popular than the original prophet, also with the initials JC.

    This interview demonstrates that the genius of Jacob does not solely derive from his musical skills or abilities, but rather from his thought process and creative thinking. He exhibits remarkable self-awareness and intelligence, enabling him to deconstruct every complex idea he conveys through his music. It is rare to find someone engaged in such a creative process and capable of articulating it so succinctly.

    This interview made me realize that what I love most about Jacob Collier isn't his talent, or his arrangements or... even his performances, all of which are of course *mind blowing*.
    It's how well he understands himself and how much he loves who is and what he does.
    To me, that is the single most inspiring thing about him, and it is absolutely electric. That's the inner understanding that I think I am always striving for as a musician.

    • @MrTimg12
      @MrTimg12 Před 2 měsíci +20

      There are many aspects to this of course.
      He's a baritone which gives his voice a very nice depth & tone.
      His accent is received pronunciation. An English accent associated with the BBC of yore.
      He went to a private school in North London and they'd've all largely spoken 'posh'.
      I think this is another aspect of him just being himself.
      Having a posh accent can often be derided as being privileged or self entitled for example.
      That's often why some people affect a different accent, 'mockney' or multicultural London, in order to fit in and be seen to be cool.
      JC doesn't suffer from such self consciousness and speaks just the way he always did.
      It's another example of him being just himself and whatever one's accent it's fine.

      It is not only for the good fortune of the individual to have a talent such as his to be fostered through a privileged upbringing, but it is such great fortune for the true enrichment of culture.
      There has definitely also been an element of cultural timing, that he speaks of here, to allow acceptance of such privilege, in a way that avoids the limitations of the typical reverse-snobbery that we can even see in this short comment thread.

    @grantwalkersound Před 2 měsíci +10

    He breaks every preconception I have about writing music. Normally I would make an argument that joyful songs are always uninspired, unemotional, and boring because joy isn't a creatively compelling emotion in the way that sadness, anger, longing, resent, regret, etc. are.. For someone like me lyrics and music are therapy so they are turned to in times of need... and in the few instances where Artists have made happy sounding music artistic, the lyrics typically juxtapose the happy music with a dark flare. Think Beatles, Guster, DMB, etc. Yet all of Jacob's music seems to come from a place of Joy and it's extremely inspired, and emotionally compelling. He is truly inspiring.

    JACOB we all love you for making us feel God again with your music - me absolutely - your journey through the joy of harmonies reminding us again that the whole universe is MUSIC. You are an ambassador of this knowledge that lives in all of us - all who can and want to understand it. You give people back the feeling of love in what you do. I am over 60 and for the first time in my life I am so happy to be able to experience a brilliant musician who brings music into this often terrible world that touches my heart so much that I often cry with feelings of happiness. THANK YOU Jacob, that you exist.

It really let him dive further into why he feels that way. It was really cool to hear him respond to your views of his thoughts. The balance was great.

    I love the part about Rick Rubin, Of all the content I've been witness of from Jacob, his speech is rarely confrontational. But, in this moment he has a direct counter opinion of Rick's book which provides a creatively refined outlook. Rick Rubin and Jacob Collier, two people that are creative idols, two people that are about art in it's rawest form, can still have differing outlooks on where that purity is the most refined. Two sides of the same coin. It's quite a beautiful juxtaposition.

    • @Hive5ive
      @Hive5ive Před 19 dny +5

      I personally think Jacob is misunderstanding Ricks philosophy. Rick doesn't think there is one way to make anything, completely the opposite actually. What he does believe, fervently, is that if your focus while making art is solely on the audience, you will lose your way. Art should have deep meaning to you the creator and secondarily to the consumer.

    • @giograziose
      @giograziose Před měsícem +4

      Jacob really missed the mark here. Rick’s perspective, for anyone interested, is to prompt openness and to question the nature of art itself. Listen to any of his long form talks or the artists who he collaborates with. Jacob was clearly projecting his own stuff onto the text as if Rick assumes himself to be some sort of guru. This is how he is perceived culturally by many who don’t actually investigate or orient themselves to his work.

    • @cleamusicuk
      @cleamusicuk Před měsícem +1

      I think he felt protective of his own drive to create for others. I could totally see where he was coming from, even though I'm currently enjoying Rick Rubin's book. If you're a creative practitioner and thinker, I can also see how the book may not be as useful to you as you're already living and breathing it. He just basically wants to have like a boxing match with another wonderful artist on the planet, and I can't wait to see that conversation!

  • @hcoutts297
