“I realized quite soon into the session that Jacob was very deliberately holding space for us in everything he was doing. Specific breaths, harmonic pivots around single long notes, leaving room for us to play in a moment he could have easily taken - in take after take of unendingly generous creativity.” "Unendingly generous creativity" is a perfect way to describe Jacob Collier
Jacob contemplating the music and realizing, "I'm not alone anymore... I found my people" brings me to tears. It's such a rare sight to see a genius pause and absorb the gravity of what he is about to make. You could see that this was not easy for him, that he was learning from it, and trying to understand. Phenomenal... the human mind have no limits...
Wildly enough. I just learned through another video that he recorded his part on his own and they figured out and added their vocals after the fact. It's still INCREDIBLE but I thought that was interesting. :)
Keep in mind, Jacob Collier collaborates on almost every track and performance he gives. Not easy for him? This is his every day. A few hours in his YT channel would go to prove.
It took me a long time to understand what the description meant: Jacob recorded his improvisation alone, and saje devised and recorded the harmonies after the fact. They sound so perfectly unified it was hard for me to wrap my head around it. Bravo to all!
These women are wonderful. It is sweet they found Jacob for this, once a boy who conjured whole worlds of sound alone in his room, who, when grown, discovered he could help the world conjure these sounds also. Jacob helps make space for others to flourish.
Who thinks of ending a song without singing the last 2 words ("of all")? It even ends on the dominant and then then you have 23 seconds of silence but the camera is still showing the musicians. So you totally expect to hear the last 2 words after a longer pause. But they never come. It even looks as if they are contemplating whether they should add the ending or not. That has to be on purpose and I love the effect it had on me. Very deserving of that Grammy
I burst into tears when I heard it the first time. And I know I’m not the only one. As a sensitive human it’s strikes my sole, again and a again. Thank you Jacob for being in my world.
I can die now. With comments like these I know this world is in good hands. (I am not terminally ill but aging in a world of too much despair and fluff.)
This perfectly captures that magical feeling of sitting in a cold misty wood as faint rays of sunlight pierce through the fog and melt the dew in scattered gentle waves, before eventually giving way to warm light and chirping birds. I love this so much~
Just when I didn't think there were any other levels to Jacob's upper limits, I stumble across something so pointedly captivating and full of melancholic clarity and beauty as this.
It's seeing him being captivated by the gravitational pull of this arrangement so much, it really had him thinking deeply. So see Jacob's own limits being pushed by others, too, is surreal. I bet he felt pretty great to play with people in his level who are challenging him lol it must not happen very often for Jacob!
I don't understand the World anymore .... how can this most beautiful peice of creation only have 58K views, when some commercial crap gets 10's of millions of views. ???
You just said it yourself, because they're 'commercial crap'. Mainstream pop music is almost always designed to be hits. Doesn't always imply that they're good or not. But it totally makes sense why they'd have high viewer/listener counts.
The nuance of your singing is otherworldly good. You make it sound easy - but the amazing finesse has to be so hard to align. Not to mention the harmonies are so tight and extended at times that it makes this even more impressive. Incredible arrangement and performance!!!!
I’m at a loss for words. I am a pitch and music nerd. I’ve tried getting small groups like this together, but it has never been at this level of satisfying, of this feeling of total fulfillment achieved. I am shook and want to be there in the middle of such beautiful, perfection; surrounded by such delicate genius. Thank you so much.
An amazing combination, Säje and Jacob Collier. Far more than it's lightness of voice and touch implies. 'Beautiful' merely brushes upon the lack of words to describe this rendition. Thank you so much.
This is so refreshingly beautiful. So soothing. This mix sounds like Karen Carpenter mixed with Manhattan Transfer. It’s fantastic.I’m completely attracted to this sound. Grammy Award 🥇!
In the wee small hours of the morning While the whole wide world is fast asleep You lie awake and think about the girl And never, ever think of counting sheep When your lonely heart has learned its lesson You'd be hers if only she would call In the wee small hours of the morning That's the time you miss her most of all When your lonely heart has learned its lesson You'd be hers if only she would call In the wee small hours of the morning That's the time you miss her most of all.

Whoever arranges the vocal harmonies for saje deserves a grammy
11 หลายเดือนก่อน +8
This one was arranged by the group - different moments by different members of säje. Jacob Collier improvised the part where he’s singing/playing piano, and the group (säje) arranged around him. This song and all the members + Jacob are nominated!
@ Thank you very much for the clarification. I'm a big fan of vocal groups like New York Voices and Take Six (and I'm also a huge fan of Jacob Collier), and I'm so happy to have discovered Saje. The grammy nomination is well deserved and here's hoping you win!

Yahhhh. He’s not “ alone” anymore.💝

Beautiful arrangement, Jacob was so into it, we can see how much he was thinking in the beggining haha!
If Sirens exist, they must sound like this... thank you for sharing your beautiful voices.
I have heard sirens, they don't sound this good, especially ambulances..
my face hurts

I first experienced this……..piece on TikTok and it quite literally, stopped me in my tracks. Could not get it out of my brain🎶💕💕💕

I hope the bottom of your foot will be OK
This one is the best of best arranging in almost everything

I’ve watched this 12 times in one week. Love it. Because of this video, I’ve discovered this musical genius….Jacob Collier!
and cudos to the engineers Pete Min (recording) and Rich Breen (mix-master)
I adore it at age 68 I’ve found new incredible music. Thank you Jacob for leading me to these incredible women!
Then you can try now listening to säje's "Desert Song". My Song of the year.
1:26 When Jacob comes in is utterly, staggeringly beautiful
Many congratulations on the Grammy. Richly deserved.

Time to listen to this wonderful arrangement for the nth time. Well-deserved Grammys, säje and Jacob.
They haven’t created words to describe this yet….
If it's possible to hear something beyond beautiful....this is it. 👍🏾🙏🏾👊🏾👏🏾🥰
You think you've heard a song, and then musicians like this let you hear it again for the first time.
Spatially and with the singers they are from another dimension.
How can simply say "thank you" con fullfill the gratitude I'd love to be able to express?
Wow! The subtlety. The harmonies. The rythm. The dynamics. 😮😍
They sing with their eyes closed. I listen with my eyes closed . 💜
Wow! Breathtaking ..... a performance by five musical geniuses. Delicate and Beautiful!!
I don't understand the World anymore .... how can this most beautiful peice of creation only have 58K views, when some commercial crap gets 10's of millions of views. ???
Dont worry. They just won grammy.
Read the chapter on the culture industry from the dialectic of enlightenment by Adorno and Horkheimer, u'll understand.

Not new. Moby Dick was a failure during Melville’s life.
I only learned about this through the Grammys. I think other videos of his are more widely viewed.
The first instrument. That was stunning. I'm so glad I found this group. ❤
One of the greatest arrangements I've ever heard
How is it even possible to hear harmonically like this? I presume this is Collier’s doing. Astounding!
A seminal piece of recorded music.
What an absolutely stunning, incredible arrangement.

My god. The absolute lock on the harmony in the vocalizations.
Wow! the wonderful Amanda Taylor from "Grove for thought", and the Mozart of our era... the one and only Jacob... what a delight!
The depths, mined and brought to the surface.
"Wow"...real music, still exists. Just..."wow". ❤❤❤ 🙏🏿
3:10 has me melting...the shift in brightness feels like a warm hug 😩
Words fail me. And I get to see them live day after tomorrow.
An amazing combination, Säje and Jacob Collier. Far more than it's lightness of voice and touch implies. 'Beautiful' merely brushes upon the lack of words to describe this rendition. Thank you so much.
delighted but not surprised at all that these peeps found each other
Ohhhh my!!!!!!!!! What a combo😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Congrats for the grammy
Congrats on your Grammy!
One of the most stunningly beautiful pieces of music I've heard in my life
I really respect these 5 souls🙏Pluto begins to move direct
Pure musical joy and excitement but in a hold still and hold your breath kinda way
Next Grammy incoming!
On the shoulders of Gene Spurling and Singers Unlimited! Superb!
yeah, exctly what I feel
It's like listening to 4 Bonnie Hermans (Singers Unlimited) you Lady's are awesome... Glad you were able to fit that Jacob guy in somewhere *wink*
You wonderful, magical ladies! ❣️
And Jacobs's signature rapid blinks of concentration 🙃
Wow, this time not only Jacob but also the Säje voices are great 👍🏻 ❤ … the voices all together …
Here's my usual W**0**W!!!.....attached to anything involving the musical genius that is Jacob Collier.❤
The sheer sthereal feel of this... it's reminiscent of when Lucy wanders into the woods to see satyrs and dryads dancing with Aslan.
Congratulations on the Grammy win!!! 🌟🍾😊
Just gorgeous! Congratulations on a well deserved Grammy
Magnifique. Merci pour ce partage.🙏🌍💫
Heartwrenchingly beautiful.
aaa 2 of my faves covering my fave song! this is the best!
it's 5:30 am. having coffee before I start my day... just WOW! What a great way to start the day! thank you!
This is so refreshingly beautiful. So soothing. This mix sounds like Karen Carpenter mixed with Manhattan Transfer.
It’s fantastic.I’m completely attracted to this sound.
Grammy Award 🥇!
And singers unlimited
I also thought it has resemblance to Manhattan Transfer
Beautifully sung ,there harmony is electrifying ,there singing takes you to another place ,it'soothing peaceful articulate beautifly done.
Jacob you are better than any Grammy
I am listening to this in the wee, small hour of the morning. Sublime peace
In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never, ever think of counting sheep
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss her most of all
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss her most of all.
