  • At 3am this morning I went live from my music room in London, as part of Stream Aid 2020. I played one of my most favourite songs - Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah". Forgive me for the lyric mishaps... it was way past my bedtime!

    it goes like this, the 4th... the 5th.... the sharp7/dominant9 with a 13 that is +14 cents sharper because it's more tonally accurate when I am in A=432 tuning.... the minor chord and the major lift

    1.) this song has been covered by everyone and their dog.
    2.) I thought there was no way anyone could make it interesting
    3.) I completely underestimated you (once again)
    4.) this was the best arrangement of this song that I’ve ever heard. There will likely never be a better arrangement of it. We can finally lay it to rest
    5.) the world is lucky to have you in it. You’re the most important musician of our time (I don’t say those words lightly).

    Whether or not you like Jacob Collier’s style, you have to respect it because it’s a guy expressing himself musically using one of the best musical minds out there. He is able to turn extremely complex music theory into the emotions that he feels and I think that’s super respectable.

People find so many reasons to hate and less to love, thats how we become jaded. If you dont find it pleasing to you then dude you can literally ignore everything this guy has instead of wasting your energy.

      @@zacharywilliams2 Let me preface this by saying getting the words wrong is damn near blasphemy with a Leonard Cohen song, as lyrics are basically the entire purpose. It would be like getting the lyrics to a Bob Dylan song wrong.
      Well, I'll admit that when I watched this I didn't read the entire description, I just skimmed it as I often do. But reading it now, I think that's a very, very poor excuse. If it really is one of his favorite songs, he would know the lyrics to the first verse.
      I mean fuck, that's like the main verse that average people remember. But he was far more concerned with unorthodox chord progressions and harmonies and all that vocal noodling. It comes off as extremely obnoxious and shallow, especially with the Grammys strategically placed in the back.
      He also managed to completely butcher the song anyway. The song should reflect humility. Instead, he is exactly the opposite. If he wanted to perform like that, why couldn't he just pick a different song? He's got the chops to butcher any song. Why choose Leonard Cohen and a song that had already been covered that evening, and which has been covered to death. I can only guess he wanted to show how unique he could be. Bleh.

My wife was like, "he must be on the spectrum," but he's not. He's totally normal socially, from what I've seen of him speaking to people outside of performance. He's a genius.

      but maybe that's just his personality and hey, who am i, and lots of people seem to love what he does...

I dislike the thaught that inferior in some ways means valueless in every way as it prevents so many from ever trying to create themselves. I feel like some people are almost reducing Jakob and those like him down to his superiority instead of truly valuing his art and creation. Music in and of itself is not a competition but it certainly can easily be mistaken for one...

    His talent is truly stunning. He is clearly a musicians musician, crafting with the complexity that other well-studied artisans can appreciate.

I would have come to see you with my whole family. I hope to have other opportunities, perhaps in Sicily, closer to my home. Music plays a big role in this period for the whole community of the world that is forced to stay at home. people have more time to listen to it and to get relief and recreation. you are very good at this and have a great ability to bring happiness and positive feelings. you have a great gift but also a great responsibility in helping to transmit positive feelings with your music.

Anyways, people that have relative pitch or just a musically trained ear can tell that the notes he sang are not in the equal temperament tuning of the piano. I highly recommend you get more into music theory because it is very fun :)

      I'm trying to tell if he's doing the thing where he divides the major third between the B and D# into six equal tones or if he's dividing the fourth between the A# and D# into seven. Either way it feels like the note picks you up and lowers you into cool water. So badass

    I don’t know what to say but wow. This is genuinely one of the most incredible 5 minutes of music I’ve ever heard. Music to me at its core is about the emotion it evokes in others and this made me feel something incredible the entire time. Just amazing.

      He might have glanced at it for a few seconds before he said screw it, I'll make up my own words. And my own chords. And my own melody. Lol
      So it was unconventional, and it was beautiful, and it was.... Jacob. ♥️
