2013... i wish this guy had recognition. 2016... i wish this guy had recognition. 2019...He has done it, he has done what I have always hoped he could!
Unfortunately not really. I saw him first back in 2011, acoustic and on a stage in a local bar. Although he has a level of fame, no where near the level it should be for such a talent. This guy IMHO is up their with the best today and should be selling out stadiums but his concerts are relatively still small. Jacob Banks deserves the same level as Sam Smith and Adele.
@@ismarcus00500, hopefully in a little more time, he will 🙂. Chris Stapleton worked for years and years as a songwriter, singer, and musician before he reached that level of fame and success. and we know it can be done. Jacob deserves it, as you wrote.
I know everyone is commenting on how well Jacob sang, but let me be the first to say, the pianists rendition of the was phenomenal. I believe it is really what made the cover truly shine
you hit it brother. You might want to take a look at michael kiwanuka and although a little differ alabama shates. Britney Howard just has a voice given to her by God.
Mr. Banks.... my friend and I were in the very front row of your concert last evening. We have been waiting for months to see you!!!! Lord.....have....mercy.... you did not disappoint. In fact, we were speechless. The words were just ineffable. We're both older women who have been to hundreds of concerts and we're going to keep entertaining ourselves until the wheels fall off. But let me say this.... We have NEVER see a performance like what we witnessed last night. For us, it's all about the "feel". You don't just sing, you "feel" your music so intensely, that it truly gave us pause. It was astounding to witness. We walked away from the stage, shell-shocked. The show was exceptional and everything we love about music, you put it all right there for us, ticking off every box. You are in a class all by yourself. What an honour and privilege it was to be there and watch such greatness. My utmost respect. Well, well, done, Mr. Banks. Well, well done. (slow, methodical) 👏.... 👏.... 👏.... 👏....
Anyone noticed his hand movements.. captivating especially the way he would grab for his stomach... I felt like I was looking at a conductor directing his own voice like a instrument.... He felt every lyric a true vocal artist!!
Nah it doesn't. Heaven was a place made up to comfort our self-consciousness from the fear of death and the unknown. When you cease to exist, you have no perception of time therefore 1 billion years can pass in an instant before your energy is transferred into something else. Reincarnation for example. Not heaven because the human mind can't cope with living for eternity. That's why as you get older you become more forgetful 👍
@@vg1024 I'm not talking about spirit (which is a theory) at all, I'm talking about your physical/chemical/biological energy... Atoms. Energy can't be destroyed nor created, it's always constant and comes from somewhere else. You didn't come into this world from a god, your existence came from billions of years worth of energy to a single point in time until you die, then your atoms deteriorate either into the Earth to create energy for surrounding soil (fertiliser) or into the atmosphere as gases like ammonia. Everything is chemical and physical when it comes to life and death, not spiritual or divine.
@@vg1024 Look mate, when you respond with "lol" then talk about "metaphysical" and "empirical" probably without knowing what they mean, also whilst believing in something you haven't seen, touched, heard or would have believed in without influence, then there's nothing to talk to you about. It's very clear you're on some kind of high horse so cut the shit and move on. I'm stating facts about life and death which has been proven time and time again that you're born through a specific process and die the same way, that there is and will always be a VERY specific amount of energy in the universe at all times. We created mathematics for a reason and it's a lot more reliable than a CULT that has done nothing but bring war and diversity among humans for eons. I've never heard of a country starting a war over a scientific discovery or theory on life and death? I won't insult you, but you are clearly the type of person who is clearly 100% right where everyone else is wrong, without proof or pictures and evidence of your god, faith has been dying for years and will continue to die, the moment we leave the planet and find other world's and truly make our footprint on the universe, religion with be finished. That is, if war caused by religion and beliefs don't kill us all first... Good day to you. 👍 Oh and quick thing, nowhere have I said I don't believe in "more", that's an assumption, what I don't believe in, is a single creator of a universe that is being proven more and more to be infinite in size and spans billions of light-years in all directions and that out of all of it, we're the only living things that exist thanks to a "god".
As a videographer, I have to applaud Mahogany for how beautifully simply they shot this video - leaving us free to focus entirely on this most *incredible* vocal. Stunning beyond any measure I could express with mere words! Thanks for bringing us this guys - when are you shooting with him again?!
why do you need microphones and a speaker system when you've got an amazing voice, amazing pianist, beautiful building and with guess what, amazing acoustics
Best version of song - hands down. And that includes the original. Why? Because it transcends the music. It transcends the melody. It is as if he were communicating directly to someone standing right in front of him. It is so emotionally specific with no apologies. Well done!
This is the best rendition of this song. I've never, ever liked this song from the original artist because it sounded so pathetic and whiny. This is honestly the first version I've heard that actually has emotion. It takes more than great vocals to bring a song to life.. this guy finally did it in my opinion. Wonderful!
Please first check out the cover of secondhand serenade of say something..then you will surely like it coz its better than the original one n this one too. #mark my words,,m waiting for a true response .
Asif Khan mate, no offense intended, but that version is the sappiest, cheesiest, softest and non-enjoyable version I've heard. In my opinion, nothing compares to the authentic emotion Jacob has, coupled with true talent, it's the perfect match.
+Luke H Everyone has its own taste n likes, & according to me john's say something is better as his voice is too soothing and cute..n jacob's voice is also amazing no doubt...!
I think one of the most amazing parts of this was the amount of passion he really put into his singing. You could really tell he loved what he's doing.
What I wouldn’t give to see him live in a small, intimate setting. Ugh that would be heaven! A place like he’s in in this video, to be in there and hearing it live..goosebumps!
Absolutely 100% the best mahogany and the best acoustic song ive ever heard. Jacob is incredible, His passion smashes through the song and hits you hard. Incredible
I cant stoo listening to this. Omg, his voice has been gifted directly from God! It moves me. I just found him. May he be blessed with a long fruitful, protected career. Greeting from Massachusetts, USA
Since 2015, when I heard this Mahogany session, I have followed this man. His track Slow Up really hit in the seeds of my being, especially as a father. His collabs are always special. But I am never letting my missus anywhere near him. I would lose her Immediately
I haven't heard this version in a year or two and it makes me fall in love everytime no matter how much time has passed. Damn that's an amazingly well thought out song from the original singers and no emotion is ever lost with Mr. Banks crushing every second of that song.
Chorus] Say something, I'm giving up on you Sorry that I couldn't get to you Anywhere I would've followed you So say something, I'm giving up on you [Verse 1] And I will stumble and fall It's all over my head I know nothing at all And I, I'm feeling so small You're the one that I love I'm saying goodbye [Chorus] So say something, I'm giving up on you I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you Anywhere I would've followed you Say something, I'm giving up on you [Verse 2] And I will swallow my pride I'm still learning to love But I'm saying goodbye [Bridge] So say I'm so sorry I couldn't get to you So say I'm so sorry that I couldn't get to you...
Definition of beautiful! The whole moment is magical : the pianist, the place, the echo, the ambiance, and this VOICE, those emotions... REAL! thanks for that true moment!
I love this song...I Created a utube playlist in my tube account.. 'Say Something' sung by every musician I find on utube...so far 25 my play list will keep growing... My eldest brother lost his beautiful voice, his beautiful life. After 8weeks of chemo & radiation he passed away, July 7 2016. My teenage daughter had just learned to play this on the piano, & in the chapel at the hospital she played this beautiful song, people like us who were also waiting, came & sat in the chapel & listened, even the Minister. This has got to be one of the saddest songs. My brother fought to recover, but sadly moments of thought & speech floated in dark silence, tangled in the hazy webs of chemo & radiation as he struggled to say something but gave up...thank you for this song, it will remain forever a memorial on my heart.
Sometimes, just sometimes, a person takes something original and turns it into something that's his and ever rarer is if he/she does it BETTER than the original... Well done Jacob, this is beautiful!
Omg I just found this artist from watching the resident. I feel every note Jacob sings. Heartfelt deep rich voice. Now I will be searching for more. I love your voice.
Once I heard the songs that this man sang, I was enraptured by his voice, I've never really knew how beautiful this particular song could sound, until him and now I'm listening to his music more and more
never heard this guy before but man does he have some pipes! great cover, never thought i'd like a cover of this song because the original is so fantastic.. but this guy killed it.
Omg im in tears at 1:07, 1:55 touch me so deep lost my father last year due to cancer, and i have no words to describe that feeling you gave me thank you for your voice. God bless you
This man has been hurt...and lord am I grateful that he chose such a beautiful way to express it, that has helped me simply by listening. Thank you, sir!
Listend to this for years. Pain is real. Healing is a constant struggle that maims even the most strongest survivors of prolific idealistic realisms...long story short. Everyone and thing has a breaking point in order to find Peace. Absolutely Beautiful. Pain is growth. Growth is pain.
I thought A great big world’s version was beautiful till this... I swear I didn’t know when I had to pause with I was doing to stare into space with tears rolling down my cheeks and my heart being pulled all over the place.. this was how it was meant to be sang originally.. thank you so much for this version.
Why is this guy not all over the charts, this is raw and pure talent. One of the greatest voices I've ever heard. Breathtaking talent. Beats the original hands down
My soul left my body @1:09 . This is a beautiful song in and of itself but my, my , my when he opens is vocal chords my everything just explodes in emotion. What a beautifully,wonderful, amazing artist to envoke such emotion.

Absolutely, two amazing musicians in this session! 🙌
that is so true the pianist is superb in his own right
He honestly did so well I forgot that's not how it's supposed to be
Agreed, 100%. The musicians playing in these covers deserve just as much praise and recognition as the artists get for their performance too.
@@MahoganySessions they are both fabulous. Thank you, Jacob.
This man could stop a freight train like a marvel superhero with his voice alone
Definitely
Nice analogy man
That was a perfect way to describe his voice
😂😂😂 voice spiderman
His voice has a perfect mixture of soul and pain...wow
Angelique you are very correct
u can feel his pain in ur heart
@tiago shpk this
Perfect comment. Agreed 100% percent
Especially pain
A playlist of Jacob Banks, Leon Bridges, Sam Henshaw and Allen Stone is just about all you need. Absolute Class....
Allen Stone, Leon Bridges? sounds like 👍👍👍
you hit it brother. You might want to take a look at michael kiwanuka and although a little differ alabama shates. Britney Howard just has a voice given to her by God.
I second that list + id add Shaun James! Actually I add a few more. But most definitely a GREAT START!
That was great
I love Leon he hangs out a lot where I live he's really down to earth really fun to talk too.
Who's here 2020 still the most underrated artist ever all his songs still give the the chills

+Isobel Ward I came here to say the same thing.

Hands down one of the best vocal song to listen with headphones and eyes shut. Chills all over.

Say something, I'm giving up on you
Sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere I would've followed you
So say something, I'm giving up on you

And I will stumble and fall
It's all over my head
I know nothing at all
And I, I'm feeling so small
You're the one that I love
I'm saying goodbye

So say something, I'm giving up on you
I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you
Anywhere I would've followed you
Say something, I'm giving up on you
[Verse 2]
And I will swallow my pride
I'm still learning to love
But I'm saying goodbye

So say

Jacob Banks needs more melodies like this. Arguably the deepest most soulful voices in our time next to Desi Valentine. His range brings tears FR.
