@@Cancer4700 i love every jacob song so much that i sung it and played it for my newborn daughter . she doesnt understand it yet but she will and it was a magical time. if jacob is alive its a great time to be alive
I have a friend who never remembers the lyrics to any songs, except Don't Stop Me Now, and this...he also only dances to those two songs, and we celebrated the end of 2019 on the 31st by dancing together to and singing this, shouting out the different time signatures, doing bass impressions and screaming the trumpet parts (we both play trumpet, among other things), and also throwing ourselves back and forth with the drums and it was epic. It was one of the biggest highlights of my year!
Whew! This was your first song I happily stumbled upon about two years ago. It just blew my mind. Even blown I had no idea what a universe of magic you had woven together to achieve this incredible audio experience. Thank you for so expanding my musical world.
When Jacob was talking about him recording kit at 4am all I could think about was the vine "I don't get no sleep cause of y'all, y'all are not gonna sleep cause of me" Also this made my day epic as shit
beginner or expert - can ANYONE resist the effortless wonder permeating everything from Japanese philosophy to wiggle wiggle and beyond? we love you Jacob!
The only thing I can possibly compare JC’s music to: theoretically if the average contemporary song was a single room in a moment of time, this guy managed to convey an entire bustling city. Love the work you’re doing!
I have now been continuously amazed for an hour straight! Wow!! Thank you, Jacob, for sharing your magical mind with us. This goes to show, that I will be able to listen to your music for a lifetime without ever understanding it fully. It's too deep for that! Thanks for being so generous!
Dear, dear Jacob, I have previously put a similar reaction under another video of yours. But watching this video I feel the inspiration coming into my body again. The inspiration that will soon make me sit behind my computer and piano to write music again. Music of my own kindergarten level. But so what!? I'm having lots of fun! And you help me so much with that. So again: Thank you, thank you for what you do and show to us! You are like a stone in the pond. I am a small wrinkle in the water. All the best! 🙏
Hey Jacob - thank you for joining your wild world of your music with us. I am a musician and composer, but I feel slow and old-fashioned after listening to With The Love in My Heart. And after seeing your logic session - I wonder how your mac can manage that much tracks. I am working with logic too and after lets say 50 tracks it gets dangerous. I really love your work - you proved to me that there is still an evolution within music. Thank you for that - and enjoy your wild ride. I will watch as good as I can ... All the best, Adam
Dude, if you don't already, you should definitely get a digital controller (like a D-command type of desk) so that you can do real-time automation on tracks. Much faster than adding in automation with a computer mouse! Also those sessions are insane! I wouldn't even know where to start haha
And so you are as you should be, ever proud and exited about this ingeniously well considered and put together project. It's absolutely insane watching all the work gone into this, and you are a full on Genious on harmonizations. I don't think there's anyone in the world producing harmonizations quite like this. I know when I hear those, it's got to be a Jacob Collier signature work. MORE THAN just having PERFECT PITCH and RELATIVE PITCH!!!
thank you so much for sharing your composing and playing - I really salute you. The mixture of that grade of perfection and odd grooves, orchestral moods and virtuose solos, syncopated and extrem organized stacks , towers of voices -- each charming and groovy. Hearing that should load you up alot. But being that is really a biiiig thing. And - you are friendly. Unbelievable.
Just one track of Jacob is unbelievable. If he wants 500 it’s also unbelievable. Maybe he should compromise. What do I know... I only wish I had 1/500 the talent of this amazing person.
You are the best musician in history and your my favorite producer! You have a genius harmony, rythm and melody and also unique different styles! please keep going with making epic songs! Ps: with the love in my heart is my favorite song
Great to see how you built the track. The brave syncopation and attention to detail with the 'little stuff' and general atmospheres are great! I just escaped the matrix world of Reason 5 and am hitting the sampling again. For those happy little accidents and flicks of noise you can't get with synths. Cheers JC
Wow. So awesome that you’d share the behind the scenes! Really appreciate being able to see how it all comes together. Your music blows my mind!! (Must’ve been the dolphins and ocean I was subconsciously hearing)
I really hope one day you could possibly collaborate with Imogen Heap. She was my first inspiration to try and find manmade sounds and bring them into the recording booth. I feel like you guys would make something out of this world but in the most harmonious way.
Honestly, this song is such a masterpeice, i love the funky part at the beginning where it's like 4 quintuplets + quadruplet, it sounds so odd but so... right?!
Jjjjjjeeesssuuusss mate your a bloody genius just to even mix and balance that many tracks is mind blowing let alone creating the music and playing it .. ridiculous talent .. Awesome peace from Wales 😎
Hmmm ...Interesting and hard work here ....Love it ! This hyper multiply layering of single element and experimenting reminds on early Jazzanova works from their first 2 albums
Thank you for walking us through your project, and giving us an idea of your process. Very inspring for us musicians ! One little correction though : the Taijitu (Yingyang symbol) is of Chinese origin not Japanese ;)
Jacob Collier I can help you, Jacob. At 29:08 some guy randomly said “who here likes bread.” Then cheese and Nutella was mentioned throughout the chat. For some reason, they started to take a meaning and now they all mean different sections of the song. Bread seems to be funky bass, Nutella is the delicious vocals, and cheese is the percussion. Was this helpful? If it was, your welcome j-dogg

Sadly, it was just 20 against 20. He brought the two beats out of phase and back in again. No worries though. It's a pretty ambitious endeavor 😛
I’m so furious - I have spent the last week listening to this and INSISTING I could hear “wiggle wiggle wiggle” and absolutely nobody believed me

there is stuff like this in all his songs. Fascinating rhythm has my favorite easter eggs. Happy hunting!

What
System overload is a cpu thing iirc
@@piwithatsme I know. Still a crazy moment.
That's pretty impressive - most motherboards are pushed to accept that much RAM, usually a server job :)
So he's running a hackintosh? Or is he running an iMac Pro with a different screen hooked up?
So this is why June Lee can't really transcribe everything lol

I'm of the opinion he can. June's a machine.
But he really has golden ears
When Jacob was talking about him recording kit at 4am all I could think about was the vine "I don't get no sleep cause of y'all, y'all are not gonna sleep cause of me"
Also this made my day epic as shit
54:25 He has three hours left to complete the album, but procrastinates by doing a livestream? Cool.
I love how you connect to your audience. Thanks for this video, insight into your creative process is very interesting
beginner or expert - can ANYONE resist the effortless wonder permeating everything from Japanese philosophy to wiggle wiggle and beyond?
we love you Jacob!
I came here to get more courage to start recording my own stuff and I got it!
This is probably one of the most important videos on youtube (or the internet)
when steve vai does one of dozens of background vocals on jazz fusion song you start understending musical genre hierarchy
Funny that he ended up making a track with Steve!
we need to know what the plan looks like from 21:40
the intro groove in 7 is so killer
1. 4:47 - plugins for vocal, neautron
2. 5:57 - pitch shift
3. 44:85 - stretched out , slow down
4. 49:06 - piano weird
When he said the drums were in 7 my mind was blown
"If you play 720 tracks in mono... you will die" 56:58
and not even laughing
i’ve learned much about advanced Logic actions from your sessions. thank you for perpetuating interesting music!

Literally just watching this and pausing every few minutes to take notes.
Dude, if you don't already, you should definitely get a digital controller (like a D-command type of desk) so that you can do real-time automation on tracks. Much faster than adding in automation with a computer mouse! Also those sessions are insane! I wouldn't even know where to start haha
And so you are as you should be, ever proud and exited about this ingeniously well considered and put together project.

Imagine being so nice you even thank DropBox for helping with your song
33:14 imagine someone walking past Jacob's room while he was recording this and feeling REALLY uncomfortable ... "What?? Were you doing??" "Sex bus"
Great to see how you built the track. The brave syncopation and attention to detail with the 'little stuff' and general atmospheres are great! I just escaped the matrix world of Reason 5 and am hitting the sampling again. For those happy little accidents and flicks of noise you can't get with synths.

Deconstruction of With the Love of My Heart
Jacob: what's that lyric with a heart in it?
He is not dependent on technology yet he uses it to its fullest potential.
Absolutely amazing result. Never heard anything like that. Go listen to it on Spotify.
So inspiring, Jacob! Makes me wanna go and create something crazy! Also, my struggle over mixing 20 something tracks seems pathetic ))) 🙏🙏🙏

Love this video BUT... someone needs to make a shreds video (livestreamed) for all 720 tracks.
it'd be really cool to see you do an against the clock episode
Also curious about how you get so many overlapping tracks to behave properly and not cut each other off
All of us wanted to know this part 15:15 (is the funky 3:15 in the masterpiece).
Is this man a genius?
After I watched this video, I started loving (even more) June Lee.
Quite the Logic Pro expert, too.
