First of all the chords at 0:42 should be illegal. They’re too beauteous. Secondly, the harmonized run at 1:11 shattered my brain. And we’re not gonna act like we just didn’t hear the bass riff at 1:23 WE’RE NOT GONNA IGNORE IT!! The chord progression during “bough” at 1:54 is my favorite part. It made me melt. I’m melted.
Not that she was fluctuating in pitch, but the thought just occurred to me that Jacob Collier may be helping to create the next music revolution, where instead of “pitch correcting” the vocalist to the track (through autotune, melodyne, etc), we may see tracks that are created to follow the minor pitch inflections of the vocal track, with the lead vocal being left unaltered and with a full richness of sound.
James Randorff yes he's been doing that all along! Thought I was the only one that noticed it when they go off he follows them so it sounds like they went there on purpose rather than a mistake
I hope so, because music these days can get pretty sterile sounding with its pitch-perfection. The only issue is that it requires more technical skills to do it the way you're describing, rather than using melodyne. At the very least we can hope it becomes a niche-movement.
Hmm... Disagree! I think people would LOVE to sing along with Jacob's karaoke tracks. He'd first do a lead vocal track, then add all his magical harmonies and backing sounds, then transcribe the lead vocal and then remove it, leaving just the karaoke tracks for you to surround yourself with! Karaoke Heaven! Of course if your voice sucks, at best it might be very funny! LOL
Jacob! I just want to say thank you for your live performance in Katowice in Poland. It was a huge pleasure to listen to you live. As an amateur/semi-pro musician I've had an opportunity to hear lots of beautiful songs/compositions on many concerts, but after 21yrs of my life I have to admit that I've never heard anything like that. The 'things' you were playing on harmoniser were the best thing I was ever dared to hear. Not to mention other sounds, but that one thing that blew my mind and gave a big smile were these particular chords played on the harmoniser. No words can actually express the joy your music gives. A new take on the thing commonly known as jazz/funk music :) I don't know if you read comments but I just had to say it 'to the world'. Cheers!
Christmas Music makes me feel emotional and cozy. Jacob Collier music makes me emotional and free. Christmas Jacob Collier Music is devastation with a smile
Do you have AAAAANY idea how long I looked for an emoji to represent the stank face?!?! THANK YOU!!!!!! Usually that face means ‘gross’ or ‘ew’, but...it’s stank face now. I’m making it official. 🥳🥳
Still looking for melodies Jacob? My daughter gladly would like to join you. You're the biggest revelation of the last years. Goose bumps all over since I discovered you!
Jacob's voice is perhaps best suited to background singing. It works perfectly with Tori in the lead (which is excellent BTW ) Thanks for posting, it's a joy.
Hugh Martin was a very close friend and mentor of mine. I spent hours with him and I am sure he would have loved this. There is a very funny story behind this song. The original lyric was Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas- It may be your last- next year we may all be living in the past. When Hugh sang that Lyric to Judy Garland she said that it would be impossible to sing that lyric to little Margaret O'Brien. The Lyric was changed and the rest is history. The song took on great significance during WWII. American soldiers would listen to the song in Europe while their families would listen in America on Christmas Eve. It brought families closer together. A perfect example of an American Popular Song weaving it way into the fabric of our culture.
My brain just fell into my mouth. Jacob Collier you are a freak of nature. You probably come from a undiscovered planet, where your components are chords structure, chords substitutions, flat 9, 11, 13, unidentified modes and scales, and so on....I adore you.
I'm not sure how to explain, but I love Christmas music that use Chimes, Bells, Harp..etc.. because of the dissonance - and somehow Jacob can do this with the Human Voice!????? WOW!
Coming from the June Lee - Jacob Collier interview, I saw this video and immediately clicked on it! We are blessed to have a musician in this period of time like Jacob Collier is!
I've been listening to this for weeks maybe months ,its genius and gives me chills every time,well done very well done!!! Love you both for blessing me the way you do from one musician to another. Thank you.
I didn't know about this cover, about Jacob or nothing else. I knew the song from an cover by MOTI, so I searched and this appeared, first I Thought he was a complete chorus lol. It's him recording!!! oh man this is so beautifull
Jacob your so talented that you even play Cat. Well done! Tori, you are my fav female artist, beautiful in every way- spirit, body, soul and style. Happy holidays!
HAHAHHAH!!!! Merry Christmas!! Would you mind checking my version (a duet with my friend), I'd really appreciate that; it's a bit more modern 💛 th-cam.com/video/jRXd7jXe9pM/w-d-xo.html
Do y’all understand what just happened in these past 2 minutes and 25 seconds???? Jesus is SHOOK in the manger! Santa is SHIVERING in the sleigh! The reindeer? They’re crying! Mary never saw this one COMING! Joseph? He’s gasping!

I hadn't even noticed the harmonized run, I'm on like my 10th time hearing this and trying to analyze it lol
That chord is illegal, the reason why he ain't in jail is cuz he ain't got caught.
Chris Compositions that run knocked me out of my chair on the first listen!!
@@johnp1719 I'm bingeing it again and every time I hear something new haha
I couldn’t have pointed them out any better 💯
2:07 ahhhhh
You here? Damn what
People from literally every field come see this lad god bless
Of course she’s here 😂
Something about them that attracts a Cappella physicists
I love the sound of that. Literally, a great observation.
Jacob: "How many vocals you want me to do and layer?"
Tori: "Yes"
Jacob. You are a great inspiration. Thanks!
You are averaging a like per year
Grande um café lá em casa!
Que foda! :D
Salve, mestre! Kkkkk
Ser inspiração pro Nelson é um negócio massa demais. Monstrosss 👏👏👏

Jacob you are playing with music and creating joy.
I hope you can live with your self! Lol
James Randorff yes he's been doing that all along! Thought I was the only one that noticed it when they go off he follows them so it sounds like they went there on purpose rather than a mistake
Hmmmmmmmm

Yeah, it's really fun tuning pianos
Amazing
AJ Rafael Hi Aj...
AJ Rafael Amen
AJ ❤
Look at u collabing w Tori Kelley this year
Wow
Oh fancy seeing you here Kyle
Under Jacob Videos i find every good musician TH-camr i gave a abo 😅
The season of this song is coming.
Musician: what chords are you playing?
Jacob: Yes
😂😂😂😂
We literally can't name them they're just hz numbers at this point
like the table of elements 😂
Jacob: What chords *aren’t* I playing?
1:55 The only thing as rare as Jacob's talent is a cat who can sit there and get hit in the face with tassels and not move.
God damn
I was expecting to see this ^ guy here ^_^
Came here to watch two of my favorite musicians and now I stumble on a third one
I love you Anomalie so muchhh ur music is so awesome!!!
Wow, Anomalie
Anomalie this is so fucking gay
Jacob's harmonization is so surreal and beautiful wtffff. His style is so unique it makes artists like Zedd and Avicii (RIP) sound mainstream af.
Hey June Lee. Thanks in advance
We really appreciate your work!
We really need the transcription bro 🙏🏾
He's live streaming the transcription right now!
I know, I can't still believe he accepted to livestream it
I'm a simple man. I hear Jacob Collier, I press like.
Shawn Lewis True story
Same...same
Don’t act like Tori Kelly isn’t in this video. She’s the real star here.
She is cool too, no doubt. But I didn't click on this video for her.
Shawn Lewis I agree with you
I wish this young man is spared for us for many years. He is incredible.
I will listen to this every christmas for the rest of forever. ICONIC
Just got this recomended on christmas eve four years later. My day is complete.
Have your self a marry little christmas everyone.
She definitely recorded her part first because there's no way you could sing the melody over all that brilliance 😂😂😂
i mean that's typically how everything is recorded yes.
You made me laugh bro, just trying to imagine it the other way around😅
Hmm... Disagree!
I think people would LOVE to sing along with Jacob's karaoke tracks. He'd first do a lead vocal track, then add all his magical harmonies and backing sounds, then transcribe the lead vocal and then remove it, leaving just the karaoke tracks for you to surround yourself with!
Karaoke Heaven!
Of course if your voice sucks, at best it might be very funny! LOL
Never underestimate Tori Kelly
I would have been screaming the entire time 😂😂😂
This man Jacob literally BODIED! All the while petting a cat, Tori is just amazing as always!
Ugh the bass line at 0:48 kills me every time. So good!
Beautiful❤
I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THESE TWO PEOPLE TOGETHER FOR 3 YEARS
My favourite male & female voice.. On one song.. This sounded like a masterclass!
1:11-1:16 come on somebody!
brandon thomas right !! Soo AMAZING
brandon thomas CHILLS EVERYWHERE!!
Had me sh00k!!!

I had never held the universal stank face through an entire song.....until today, this moment.
Yep..... still holdin it 😖
#metoo!

Hahaha Same!!
Do you have AAAAANY idea how long I looked for an emoji to represent the stank face?!?! THANK YOU!!!!!! Usually that face means ‘gross’ or ‘ew’, but...it’s stank face now. I’m making it official. 🥳🥳

This is the best thing that has ever happened to Christmas
Approachin' Xmas 2020 this is still a revelation. Obviously recorded beautifully on a phone and Jacob made it a masterpiece of harmonisation

This makes no SENSE!!! I just went into worship! God bless you Tori and Jacob!
My brain just fell into my mouth.

Yall are over here praising Jacob's harmonies while I'm just like:
"SINCE WHEN DID JACOB GET A CAT"
Me reading this comment: "There's a cat??? :0"
And the cat is SO CALM. I've never seen such stoicism; or is it that said cat is stank-facing the whole song like the rest of us?
1:10 is pure bliss - literally been daydreaming about that run nonstop since you've posted this!
Girl, you better sing!!
The most beautiful thing on Earth
Those chords dont have a new years resolution 🔥
HAHAHHAH!!!! Merry Christmas!! Would you mind checking my version (a duet with my friend), I'd really appreciate that; it's a bit more modern 💛 th-cam.com/video/jRXd7jXe9pM/w-d-xo.html
I could fall asleep... it's so smooth.
Actual magic takes place at 1:11 and 1:56
I actually started looking forward to December and it just halfway through September...Wow!
This is the 50th time I've watched this and just now I'm realizing he's petting a cat the whole time
Same... except the cat part. Good grief, there's a cat! Thanks for the heads-up! 😆
Double hell yeah! Plus extra swag from Jacob's hat collection!
Wow, the best Christmas present; my two faves :') thanks Jacob and Tori!! Merry Christmas!!
