First time hearing this was at Leeds fest in 2015. I went to the stage to see deadmau5, but Jamie was on a few slots before. I'll never forget the power of the bass as it hit me like a truck. I'd never felt anything like it before in my life. The whole tent just fell quiet in awe at this song, you could feel the collective energy between everyone. From that day on, In Colour became one of my favourite albums of all time.
If you're wondering, the voices are a sample of It's A Blue World by The Four Freshmen. It's a 40s/50s era song, and they were a major inspiration for Brian Wilson to learn vocal harmonies which he used for the Beach Boys. Jamie XX uses this sample brilliantly, what a gorgeous song!!
I believe the reason it's so beautiful is because it was inspiring engineering aimed to help young deaf children feel the music as most of us do, the human treasure which is the sense of hearing....we all take it for granted, our ears working correctly and sounds as wonderful as these. How inspiring to have cared about the frequencies any child with a hearing impediment would also love. XX
me and my friends snuck into a forest beach at night and smoked weed and layed down on the sand looking at the stars with a huge speaker and this started playing and ever since then i fell in love with this song. all i imagine is walking through the pitch black forest with my led lantern with this song.
I love these sorts of tracks by him, the deep but airy sounds, the very dosed but meaningful tones just give you a scope, creating fluctuating worlds pop up in an empty space.
Had good memories of this song, heard it for the first time in The Basement (coffeeshop Amsterdam) together with a passed friend of mine. Couldn't find the song anymore and after a few years finally found it again! Thanks for this special and beautiful song.
This song makes me feel some typa way.I can't help but imagine driving around the countryside at night with this music playing and the windows down, with the people you love around you; enjoying the moment.
I had the pleasure of seeing Jamie XX and Friends at NOS Alive in Portugal this year, the highlight of my year, the best shit ever and i'll never forget it, every time i think about it, i get emotional.
Me fascina cómo el beat y la melodía se desintegran o derriten después de unos compases y vuelven a levantarse al inicio de los siguientes, se siente como una euforia interrumpida que no te lleva de largo, pero te avisa que va a continuar subiendo y bajando contigo, te invita a disfrutar de lo que sientes en ese instante que no será el mismo que antes, pero te desliza en cada detalle y cada silencio
Long Monday at work, got home late and still had a few things left to do. Weather is awful outside. Finished everything a lit a joint outside with this in my headphones, feel like I’m in paradise
*Adam shalala* Odesza are extreme!!👍 moonsiren?.. kid francescoli moon...try jai woolf moonrider & intro 🤷♂️ a bit different but an awesome track is Bespin we are stars...another band way out there different and really dam good are Flevans.. they been going some time now check out all there stuff (I aim not to disappoint 😉😆) and justice cross album 🙉 enjoy 👊✌ (also not sure if your ever get this message as I can't directly reply to your comment do some people place a block?)

Thinking so hard of someone I could share this song with that would appreciate it at my level...nope, no one. This song makes me feel something...love it.
how can this song (lack of a better phrase) go so hard but also make my head want to explode due to certain frequencies. The mind is willing, BUT THE FLESH...
This music is like nothing I have ever heard I listen to it while im sketching and doing work for some reason this song makes me feel like I can do anything
Finally!!!! We meet again after years of lost this I'm back again here, that's the signal of a full cicle of my life has been ended - Check - Passed 100% - 100% Confident - New Start Begin - See you next time

This is a rare song that can be listened to at anytime, but hits different every once and a while
I listened this song on tik tok 😅
Check out Central by John frusciante it has the same effect on me
This man is a genius, like seriously am I the only one who went on a spiritual journey to this song?
not the first one, won't be the last ;)
i thought i was the only one that listened to this and was blown away every time. 3 years later and somehow even more so each time
Same

absolutely.
no matter how much time passes there will always be a moment in our lives when the memory of each one comes to listen to this song again
Still sounding unreal 7 years later. What a track!
I love these sorts of tracks by him, the deep but airy sounds, the very dosed but meaningful tones just give you a scope, creating fluctuating worlds pop up in an empty space.
This song as always been one of my favorites, Jamie xx is a genius, not many artists make me feel that way.

The voices in this song sound like they're in pain... but somehow in a comforting way. It feels like we're all going through something together
6 years later and its still a banger
Goddamn it sounds different every year it feels like! 👌
@@lorenzoenobando8599 This song is like a Christopher Nolan film. Every repeat listen i pick up something new
10 years later and still a banger of a song
This song takes you through so many dimensions and a roller-coaster of senses. I can't get enough. Beautifully created!
I didn't know this song nor the artist, but it's the best thing I've heard this month. I've been having it on repeat for hours.
Same!
A few yrs behind lol but that's currently me, found this after listening to Christian loffler's Haul
Buy the album. It's really worth it! Every song hss its own sound. So creative!! 👍👍
This song and the album completely encapsulates what nightlife in the UK feels like.
same with nigeria
Nah, David Guetta sums up UK nightlife pretty well. Shit music, sticky bars and loud dickheads!
I don't mean clubs, I mean just the general atmosphere of walking around the UK at night.
I get you. Back in the day (2008-2009) I got a similar vibe from 'Hurt You' by Chase n Status
nah, nigeria.
I love the delicate balance of whimsy mixed with club beats, powerful stuff ❤
Jamie xx is a musical genius. Enough said.
definitely
i Agree
said the deaf guy.
maybe if in colour wasn’t chock full of filler than yeah
disagree, Tom Vernon, 'musical genius' is too weak to describe Jamie xx's talent.
This song sent me into another dimension where everything and everyone is ultra mega chill.
saaame
I can conclude.... you are HIGH
me too
Yeee this music is so much chilling:)
You can tell he makes music straight from the heart.
I must have listened to this song over a thousand times now over the the last 6 years and it's still one of my favs of all time.
This song makes me feel some typa way.I can't help but imagine driving around the countryside at night with this music playing and the windows down, with the people you love around you; enjoying the moment.
Mitch brought me here! Thanks again SUPERFRUIT for suggesting awesome songs to listen to every week!
Seriously one of the best songs to come in recent years. Incredible track, really really special.
I had the pleasure of seeing Jamie XX and Friends at NOS Alive in Portugal this year, the highlight of my year, the best shit ever and i'll never forget it, every time i think about it, i get emotional.
Mitch has done it again. Love this! The intro is so interesting and then you gotta that dance feel and cool vocal samples.
This track has an early morning in the summer chillwave aesthetic to it. A very hazy sound that evokes a definite atmosphere.
He needs to release an album. All his singles are fire! His remixes too.
He took your advice ;) And what an album it was
@@poorsonwelles One of those albums that never did, nor will ever age
he's finally releasing his 2nd album now in September 2024
Just seen him live and it's somehow even more magical and incredible, can't even begin to describe...
Music takes us to some pretty astounding places! Sometimes not. This work definitely does! Peace!
jamie really do be creating worlds with this one... one of my all-time faves of his... are there any other songs with this similar feel as this one?
If you're not listening with good speakers, my sincere apologies.
They dont have di key, to know di way..
thy way to thy self
I'm using SONY MDR-7506...quite OK btw...
Says the guy listening to 128kbps youtube music but yeah
@@PitiNasri thought, that 1080p with AAC compression goes like 192kbps...but still, you're right. Until it's not loseless, doesn't matter at all
My mom had these jams in the car for several years, I only found out the name of this album yesterday. Bless.
You have a cool mom.
The dark days are over. New Jamie xx. It doesn't get any better than th-HOLY SHIT THE RECTANGLE IS MOVING
***** rec-tang-u-lar prism
Lol this didn’t age very well
INSANE from 0:00 to 6:23 !
Perfect atmosphere; the perc work is on point. Nice visual, as well just enough not to distract from the music.
what about 6:23 to 6:24. That last second just blew my mind.
You must be insane if you think even one second of this shit is worth your time.

I put this on and stared into my dogs eyes, I feel connected
I tried this and my dog fell asleep....
Wake him/her up with the dance of your people
RobBobLoblaw You must be smoking some of that good shit.
Davindra Maharaj Maybe, who's asking?
Did the dance of my people and now she has awoken and is looking at me like I turned into chewbacca
I swear jamie, jai paul, and Toro are on a whole other level
Thanks Mitch for the new song you introduced into my day!
no one cares
Jozef is that why her comment has 53 likes and yours has 3? :)
Jesse Clarke - James no one cares
Long Monday at work, got home late and still had a few things left to do. Weather is awful outside. Finished everything a lit a joint outside with this in my headphones, feel like I’m in paradise
1:35 onwards is just unreal
Agreed but the whole song is just amazing in general.
A transportation to another realm.
uptill 1:35 he is installing all the drivers needed to like this song haha
Hey Sheepy is here too! :D
I would say it begins at 1:02
***** what's sheepy? :0
Yo this song brings so much positivity in people :)
one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard
Too bad he didn't put this longer version on the album ...
(still one of the best albums of 2015)
Jamie XX is a genius. Anyone know any other artists with a similar sound? So far I have tourist, the avalanches and Odezsa. Drop more below
*Adam shalala* Odesza are extreme!!👍 moonsiren?.. kid francescoli moon...try jai woolf moonrider & intro 🤷♂️ a bit different but an awesome track is Bespin we are stars...another band way out there different and really dam good are Flevans.. they been going some time now check out all there stuff (I aim not to disappoint 😉😆) and justice cross album 🙉 enjoy 👊✌ (also not sure if your ever get this message as I can't directly reply to your comment do some people place a block?)
You gotta check out Christian Loffler. I recommend his tracks Ronda, Haul, Blind, Bergen, Ry.
@@Iceman219 I will if nobody else!!! appreciate this 👍 another top band being going years don't have the recognition they deserve are way out west, dance electronic genre yeah, all the others above are worth a look too 🙉🥰👌👍

Certainly perked up my day.
Now to watch Jamie's Boiler Room sets again!
one of my biggest dreams ever is hearing this in a club
yes please
how true!!!
Yea
I actually learned about this song because it played in a club in Montréal
He opened up also the B2B with Four Tet in Amsterdam, back in 2013 if not wrong - while the track still unreleased
A Bye Bye Macadam done right and also very satisfying to hear
This masterpiece is my ringtone, I hear it several times a day! 👌👊
Another - 'how have i only heard this track just now' moment - bliss, genius, awe!!!!!
Gosh i can't even describe what this song does to my brain
I fucking know right
wait this one or gosh
No, I don't want to think what it might do to a brain but don't waste the hundred cells you have left.
Yeah, I can feel
Still a banger!🥳
this will give u the good chills with headphones on trust me
Ive been waiting like a junkie for another majestic release! Never failing dude, never failing. Wicked cool!
Was at the beach for four days and I could not stop listening to this during the sunsets every fucking day.
Went through all of Google+ and TH-cam's bullshit to say this song is one of the loveliest I've heard in a long long time.
The jazz of electronic music.
This is an Excellent Tune. One of his best tracks yet I recon.
better video than most music videos nowadays
+Linn fuck off
+Ephrem Goldstein that makes no sense
Who are you?
You mean that music videos were better back in the days...?
i made a playlist of the best music videos i could find, any suggestions?
how can this song (lack of a better phrase) go so hard but also make my head want to explode due to certain frequencies. The mind is willing, BUT THE FLESH...
this is insane. what a masterpiece from jamie
In the LOOP this Morning LOVE THIS TUNE !!!!!!!! i take your words David !! All his singles are fire!
Mitch brought me here, this music sounds very..unique.

Imaginary reality. Beautiful thought that went into making this melody
