- Grammy winner Jacob Collier recently sat down with Genius to break down the chords for Shawn Mendes’ 2018 hit, “Lost in Japan.” Collier first became known for his multi-instrumental rearrangements of popular songs such as Michael Jackson’s “P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing),” catching Quincy Jones’ ear in 2014. In this video, the 24-year-old musician shows off his talent for explaining musical concepts.

I dare you to ask Shawn Mendes to explain a Jacob Collier Song
Bess M great idea 😂
@@sdfsdfsdfsdf1644 Oh, boy. I'm not saying that Shawn has not a very good voice, but you must see Jacob really singing.
Personally, I would recommend you the "You've got a friend" cover in Atlanta from him, the crowd in the video is in the same level.
@@sdfsdfsdfsdf1644 Oh that means you've never heard Jacob truly sing before. Go listen to something like Hideaway or Moon River and then tell me what you think.
😂😂😂 this needs to happen
Jonathan Siskind I’ve listened to both artists extensively and while Jacob has impeccable pitch and can harmonize with himself flawlessly, in terms of vocal timbre and ambiance Shawn’s voice is just better
This is like using a supercomputer to calculate 2 + 2
not really
Don't disrespect Shawn Mendes like that; wtf is your problem.
Andrew Kear i mean, the song’s really good, but he’s not really wrong
Andrew Kear no disrespect! Jacob’s music is so much more complex than Shawn’s pop tracks! That’s just fatcs..
Andrew Kear
Shawn is not bad
Just not as complex as Jacob
While Jacob is a prodigy
"And it provides a sense of being lost ...in Japan" 1:07
Well, I love this guy
Died at that moment
he’s awesome
Me hearing this joke, replaying 5 times, then zooming to the comments to find someone who also laughed. So thank you :)
Jacob: is a youth himself
“I can feel Shawn’s youthful energy”
Elyse Rho Musicaly he's 1000 years old
@@TheFeriner I thought he was older
He is an old soul LOL
That makes me like wat ??
@@TheFeriner No he's an actual 1000-year old vampire that has absorbed all the collective musical knowledge of humanity across centuries.
This dude could say anything and I would agree with him
Anything he says about music basically becomes true because he said it.
Big mood.
What if he says, "You don't agree with me"? Agree to disagree?
This is like renting a forklift to lift a fork
Jacob Short 😩😅😂😂
Best one of these so far
Lollllll
LMAOOOOOO
We need this to be a series.
I swear to God, if Genius gets Jacob Collier as a frequent collaborator, I'm willing to forget the Jacob Sartorius and Backpack Kid videos ever happened.
Like this comment if you agree fam
NiggaTigga94 for real for real
lmao you got my like fam
Keep posting we got Daniel Caesar and Shawn Mendes lets hope they get the message
I 100% support this
YES
this is like gordon ramsey making a whole tutorial on how to make toast
Never ever compare Ramsey with Jacob. Gordon is rude, bawdy and obnoxious while Jacob is a true gentleman and gentle soul.
çhērrÿ ßłøššøm Gordon Ramsay could probably do some amazing things with toast
çhērrÿ ßłøššøm I watched a video of him teaching how to make scrambled eggs, and let me tell you, it was way more meticulous than just whisking eggs and putting them in a pan 😂

"That guy is obnoxiously good at music." - Adam Neely
Adam Neely is obnoxious
@Jack Orion wtf adam neely is a god
@@quippy958 jacob is better tho
@@vmdp8790 Adam was complimenting Jacob, it was a joke
hey its one of my favorite musicians complimenting another one of my favorite musicians
this should be a regular thing
they finally got the right Jacob.
I laughed way too hard at this than I should have
Darien Golden lmaooo
For all the people who said this was basic... Jacob wouldn't have bothered explaining this song if he found it basic or boring. This has a soulful R&B type progression, with wonderful harmonic activity. Just because it doesn't have tri tone subs and secondary dominants doesn't mean its not complex.
Basic doesn't mean bad; and yes, it is basic.
@@eduardopuccini You're basic.
@@songninja lol
Well, after listening to it a couple times; it's actually a nice song.
@@songninja Don't be so butthurt dude, this is way below Jacob's normal difficulty level, but that doesn't mean the song is bad in any way. Stop licking Shawn's butt and actually get to know something about music.
Finally a real musician
@@jakobhanssen8680 he was speaking about Jacob...
@@jakobhanssen8680 He wasn't speaking about Shawn Mendes, he was speaking about Jacob Collier who is an extraordinary musical genius
yo excuse me, Bill Wurtz was featured just a few days ago and that guy is God.
@@monowavy yeah
ember No, he isn’t
I never thought I'd see the day ...
Finally genius is showing its genius side
Jacob Collier playing a Squier is a great metaphor for my life
Chance lol same.
Lol
You’re a genius virtuoso playing a beginner instrument?
Squiers are excellent instruments, as you can here him show.
I felt validated
lol one of the most incredible musicians alive showing us how to play a basic pop song.. interesting choice Genius
It's clearly not very basic lol, did you watch the video?
I don't think it's very basic haha
Lol, I can understand that without knowing any kind of music theory, the song can seem complicated.. but doesn't mean that when there are 7th chords, the song is know instantly complex.
@@glremusic5143 compared to what he's capable of yes.. yes, it's very very basic. lol
It’s simplistic yes, but not basic. The chord choices are very specific and the voicing changes add a lot to it.
Jacob Collier's explanations> Jacob Sartorius & Backpack Kid's explainations
In before Genius invites Jacob back to explain the musicality of Backpack kid's song "I be flossin"
what a cross over event
Woah the smartest musician on the planet gave a better explanation than an autotuned 15 year old... Wierd
holy cow you are so smart
The Harmonic and Rhythmic Complexity of I be Flossin exceeds your simple mind.
peasant
Can he do an Anderson .Paak song...please?
Ricky Gonzalez hell yeah
@Ayooluwa Kolawole YES LAWD!*
Or Tom Misch!
That would be hilarious... And awesome...
Smooth as the voice leading,
Groove on the inside.
Can it be? Can it be?
I don't gotta tell you what the chords are, too?
That would be soooo good man fr
i can't image what kind of conversation he'd have with Charlie Puth
Zerma Siazon theres videos of them jamming together
check this out th-cam.com/video/x-bgCGjRt94/w-d-xo.html
you know when supercomputers start speaking their own language when communicating... it's a bit like that lmaoo
@@edgarchavez7475 yoooo thank u for this
He already had in an ig live
Glad Jacob is getting mainstream exposure. Great video, thanks ☺️
Wow this guy is well spoken and sounds a lot older than he's age, which I guess is in he's 20's
ikr, he's only 24
uh you have no idea
He's the most brilliant musician this world has seen in at least 500 years. look more into him
This can be the best series of genius. Please keep this series alive. 🙏🏼
Jacob talking about Shawns youthful energy makes him sound at least 60
Haha, when Jacob is only 4 years older than Shawn (they were born in the same month and everything!)
THIS SERIES IS A MUST. KEEP JACOB THE GOAT AROUND GENIUS!!!!!
It's really fun and exciting to see him playing around with chords, progressions and harmonies and simply making stuffs elevated
Have you heard this man sing human nature at BBC Proms? The mic was like broke recording and he still sounds freaking amazing.
The hottest music teacher I ever had
I mean...yeah fair enough
He's husband material!
I really didn’t like him at first but I love how he appreciates a lot of music. A lot of music whiz’s disrespect pop music and shit on music less complex than the music they like or create.
He’s such a chill dude ❤️
Seriously this should be a youtube channel on it's own, it's the best thing music has shown in years!!!
Genius is really doing something legendary here🙌🏻
Jacob Collier is such a blessing to the music world
I would really like to see more musical breakdowns of songs like this. I especially love listening to Jacob Collier break them down
the ending is just blissful, we need a full cover by jacob
Oh my god make as many of these Jacob videos as is humanly possible
you're a drummer
@@oliverseddon7950 dude, he was literally referencing the part of the vid where Jacob goes "you're a drummer"
@@oliverseddon7950 /wooosh
you're an all star
and then you're a drummer
Best Friend Thanks for referencing a subreddit outside of Reddit it makes you look very cool 😎
You have a voice/vibration, that is So out of the ball park of "normal" vocal timbre/range/vibration, that it's captivating. You are existing, vibrating at such a higher level of refinement, integrity, honesty, authenticity, it's really a tremendous gift to all of us. Thank you
Thank you Jacob! These type of videos are amazing !! More please 🔥🔥
Yeah do more of this and less of the garbage please and thank you
Iaj Namunah he’s talking about the Jacob satorius and the backpack kid videos
Jakob and you?
Jakob well this guy isn’t trash
......maybe I'm a MOOOONSTERRRRR !!!
Iaj Namunah um what?
All the people that came in for rappers explaining lyrics are confused about the concept of people explaining music.
Mischa Wijgh all the actual mucisians are peeing their pants 😻
Mischa Wijgh lmao
this comment!! simpletons don’t get it
Mischa Wijgh I came for rappers because I’m an avid hip hop fan but I’m also a student of music. People can be both you know...
It's not hard music at all i think anyone could follow
This is amazing, please keep doingg this type of videos!!!!
Thank you GENIUS I approve of these videos
A series? Nice, hope this'll get more people into Jacob as Djesse releases!
Please more breakdowns by Jacob!!! 🙏
I love this guy keep making vids with him please, I’m learning so much for my music
PLEASE MORE OF JACOB COLLIER. thank you for bringing him on!!!!!
When Genius actually features a genius
Forget Jacob with Herbie Hancock....we need a “Jacob plays with Joe Hisaishi” vid
Hahaha I also thought about it when I heard that minor 11 chord ;)
JOE HISAISHI!!!!
the first 4 chords as a sequence... i could listen to them all day😭
This is so good. Thanks Genius.
protect this man at all costs pls
I'm really not a fan of Shawn Mendes, but this song is really something special. And I love the way that Jacob broke it down.
Love these videos with Jacob collier!!
Please keep this series goin
Do some sweet jazzy tunes with Tom Misch pls.
LOST IN PARIS
This is like calling the fbi when you don’t remember where you’ve put a book in your living room.
please make this a consistent thing
This was so wholesome❤
i think i speak for the world when i say i love jacob collier
“You’re a drummer” 😂 great vid! That ending clip tho👌
Keep these coming
YES KEEP THESE COMING
the introduction sounds lofi-y
Such elitists on this thread, Spread the music don't keep it exclusive!
That's what Jacob Collier is pushing. Let's keep music alive and about the love.
I agree with you that good music shouldn't be kept exclusive. The elitist side of me that agrees with the posters you are adressing, however, is constantly reminded of Isaac Asimov's famous quote:
"There is a cult of ignorance in the United States, and there always has been. The strain of anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that "my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge."
I happen to be very knowledgeable in music. I can easily see the difference between a person who's an expert in music and someone who is not. So, it's very frustrating to see almost the whole of western society venerate people who are really not very good at music whilst ignoring people who are literally hundreds of times better at music. (I promise, it's not about taste, but about quality.)
Having a bad musician play in front of 80.000 people is like having Dr. Nick from the Simpsons perform heart surgery.
Jacob is about as high as a single human brain can climb on the musical knowledge + genius ladder.
@@arneperschel Haha That quote is very real in modern America.
And there are those who will choose to stay ignorant and stick to their sound but their own sound.
However, we all started at level one and those who realize that they can always learn more may one day become amazing artists.
As a musician myself I have realized there are several ways that people can and will enjoy music:
Some will enjoy the energy given off by the music being played,
others will enjoy the complexity of the theory being implemented,
and then others will enjoy just coming together with people who have similar taste.
I agree it's painful to watch a bad musician play in front any size audience, but nobody is going to die. And I realized theres always something we can learn from everybody. Like, how the hell did this crap artist get so many people at the show? Exchange some theory knowledge for marketing knowledge and both can improve. You may just spark something and next time you see them they may sound worlds better. And.... maybe not
Please for the love of God keep this going and make it a series, it makes me so proud to see Jacob on genius
Oh man, I Love this dude so much, please keep this going Genius, so awesome!🔥❤️
What I really want is what he starts playing at 5:20
this mans jawline is incredible
The way that he understands music and has the ability to not be challenged by any instrument/song is so impressive
why do i love these video's so much
thank you teenager keanu reeves
An actual genius on... genius.
Who would have thought.
More of these pleaseeeeee 🌸🌸🌸
Hes so precious why am i getting emotional watching this video
