I watch reaction videos because it makes me feel like I'm sharing a deep understanding of music. I have to say that you've mirrored my emotions when hearing this, and it feels like we're not alone anymore.
This is just the best comment ❤️ I see you, friend
I couldn't agree more. This does something deep inside and it's overwhelming. I thought I was alone in feeling this but this music linked us all.

Beautifully stated 💐💐💐
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel listen to You Are by Hle
Tori is also insane to hear the melody once and sing it exactly back to him. They make a killer team. Pure geniuses
Right! Real musicians
They're truly another breed
She gets all the credit for eventually doing it, but this is edited. It took her some takes to understand and get it! Jacob's approaches are not normal, and they weren't part of Tory's vocab. But I'm sure they are now! She was in a MASTER CLASS! Great for her to put that work in. It's easy to get intimidated at times like this TRUST ME, I know!
@@edwindavis5468 no one is giving her credit for anything she didn't do. You must not know much about Tori if you think the end result was all Jacob's doing. Do you have any idea how mad it is to be able to just repeat runs like that back to someone instantly. That's an insane level of musicality. No one is claiming the arrangement is hers. I don't know what your point is.....
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel I believe you waited to respond and be offended, rather than understand my post. Take the emotion out of it and hear my point! My only point was that she didn't hear it once and then nail it! There are obvious edits to this video. I'm also not saying she struggled and took forever to do them. I'm also a singer, and can do them. But because I don't think like Jacob I can't create like Jacob. But I can do what Jacob ask me to do. He didn't Sk her to do "the Tory"! He had specific things he wanted done AS A PRODUCER, and it was things she would not have done on her own! No doubt the things she would have done would have been good, she's very talented, but this is what Jacob wanted done, and the end results were what was in his head not hers! It was NO SHADE AT ALL to Tory, I was simply saying her repeating was not all hearing it once then ready to record! But I digress! Be blessed!
My kindergarten teacher would play this song every morning. I would wrap myself in her moo moo dress. She’d rub my back. She didn’t know my mother had just been murdered, but I was safe with her. Mrs. Steel never pushed me away, but was kind every single day to everyone. Lord have mercy! Thank you for Mrs. Steel.
I'm so touched by your story. How important great, wonderful, kind, compassionate teachers are ❤️
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel Thank You
I'm actually bawling right now. I'm so sorry for the loss of your mother, and I wish peace for her soul and peace for you and your family and Mrs. Steele. She knew you needed her, and she was there for you no questions asked. What a wonderful woman ❤
💙
That back and forth between Jacob and Tori was INSANE!!! I coulda watched that over and over
Yeah bro. Absolutely mesmerising
Immediate Grammy for best a cappella arrangement. Jacob always gets it, and frankly this is just as good as Moon River and You and I
I'd argue it's even more powerful in it's own ways. He's getting so much better at balancing and making the melody it's own powerful thing. I love moon river and others but I feel this arrangement better shows his ability to back others or himself, whereas the others are great as a full experience
There's also World O World in this same album. But I think this one should win it
Grammy. Grammy. Grammy.
I've been listening to this song for 3 days now, still can't make it through Tori's portion of the performance without tearing up. This simply is a work of art~
It’s that part right after the unison where they land on the word “bridge” for me. Ugh! 🥲
I’m always a blubbery mess during tori’s section
HE DID THIS IN THREE DAYS!! THREE DAYS!!!
THE DAYS MEANS NOTHING
Man oh man. Im watching everyone’s reaction to this song to make sure i wasnt crazy for getting this emotional over a song. It’s been a while since i’ve heard a masterpiece like this. Jacob constructed this arrangement note by note like a musical carpenter. Dynamics were absolutely thrown into a test tube and divinal chemistry was made. When Tori came in, i literally almost pood myself lmao
There's something about Jacob's music, especially for musicians. I know for me, it punches me right in the feels and just leaves me with tears of emotions streaming down my face. Just so incredible.
100% musician here and it’s as you describe.
On point!
For some reason I glanced up . The angels had gone quiet. Beautiful glowing faces turned slightly earthwards , their glorious eternal song , for now paused in respect ...and if you listen carefully to the golden silence in the second just as the song ends , you can hear their appreciation before drawing breath to carry on...
Damn.
I felt so similar when Jacob re-created the end of Yebba's recording with pieces from My Mind I just about DIED. Like a loved one I haven't been able to hug FOR YEARS was finally embracing me for the first time.
Omg I thought I recognised that final note from Yebba, but it is from her My Mind performance indeed! Brilliant! ❤
To make it even more mind blowing, Tory recorded her part in one hour before rushing off to a gig and the whole song was written and recorded in 3 days 😂😂😂😂
Oh my god, your reaction is just like watching myself both the first time I heard the Yebba version and this one with John Legend and Tori Kelly...waterworks! Jacob Colliers genius as a musical avatar is one thing, but I honestly believe he is a healer. The endorphins that kick in when you hear and feel the choirs that he builds to these astounding soloists just make the whole body shiver with goosebumps and the tears flow like a river. He literally bathes us in universal harmonic beauty......a sonic cathedral of hope.
One of the best things my ears have ever heard
The way his vision is so clear from the beginning
Thanks for not stopping every 10 sec🙂
Fun fact: the end of Yebba’s solo is actually from her song “ my mind” Jacob did a cut and paste so that her solo had an end because remember, for those who saw the original with just Yebba, it cutoff right she sang “lay me down”. Someone once called Jacob the “Albert Einstein” of music. I’m really starting to warm up to that belief.
We need to enjoy these 4 musicians. They are all incredible and shouldn’t be taken for granted.
Your love for music is such a joy to watch. ❤
Thank you so much. I love that you enjoyed it ❤️
we all been waiting for an extended version for four years.
the 4th album in the Djeese series where all of them won grammys, I'm not surprised anymore
The first dissonant notes behind Tori’s voice kill me every time bro
BRILLIANT! Take a moment to appreciate the man who wrote Bridge Over Troubled Waters, Paul Simon.
And he's only what? 27? 28? God damn it Jacob! I mean, God bless it, Jacob! God bless you!
Charlie, I went exactly trough the same emotional tear-jerking rollercoaster as you.
I've been a fan of Tori's since 2015, I was 14 back then... so seeing how much she's grown as a vocalist has been incredible to see. Every now & then Tori does some incredible project such as this to remind everyone of her power vocally. she's truly phenomenal. Yebba, Jacob, Tori, and John did an amazing job with this song! 🤍
Jacob's music touches all our heartstrings. He knows how to play them better than we do. That is his genius, he is universal. That is what I think and that is what I feel. I think we all can see the same thing in your first degree reaction, my dear Charlie. Thank you very much.
Absolutely agree. Thank you for your kind words too my friend. I'm pleased you enjoyed it
The best and most accurate reaction
I've been a huge fan of Tori Kelly in years. Her growth through the years is insane. Especially after getting to work with these geniuses. Kudos to Jacob and everyone from this track.
I went insane during the tori kelly belting with all of Jacob's harmony mmm
9:00 i'm thinking 'haha oh you just wait brother...'
It's probably the best thing my ears have ever heard. I cant stop listening.
I must have listened to this about 50 times already. It's beyond insane. Edited to add: My new benchmark for finding a man is that he cries to stuff like this.
Ab-so-f...ing-lutely! No cry? No man. Just that simple. ✌🏻
"I feel like my dreams are coming true" 😭
The Logic session is bananas!
When he comes in with his harmonies after Yebba, it reminds me of the score Herbert Stothart did for The Wizard of Oz. Jacob's knowledge of theory is truly a divine gift. I imagine when he sings, he doesn't run or use vibrato because he already hears all of the harmonies in his head and would never do anything to step on any of those notes. He is one of his generation's greatest producers and his work will be around for several generations...I pray.
Imagine if he had done the score for Wonka!!! 🤯
YES!!!! I watched this for the first time in the Hilo Hawaii airport trying not to tear up and I did not succeed in my efforts. Awesome reaction! Thank you!
Hahaha I love that. That happens to me all the time. I often edit my videos in a local café for a change of scenery and I often get emotional watching it over again while I'm editing. It's kind of fun
John Legends voice takes on the unearthly as he sings in the gospel genre. There is no messing around in gospel you have to bring your soul.
I loved this reaction so much. You really connect with music on a level that allows your listeners to feel seen for how they feel about it. I consider this “a gift from above.” Truly. Thank you for the beautiful reaction 🙏🏻
Tears running here as well! Thanks for sharing your reaction!
The ending to this song everytime, has me covered with goosebumps, and a massive chill throughout my body. Spectacular.
Loved this reaction Charlie, your reactions are so sincere. And about the track…I’m a fairly recent discoverer and devotee of JC, I don’t even have the vocabulary to accurately describe his level of genius and how my whole being responds to his music; feel good factor x 1 billion. Thank you for taking the time to make this video 🙏 ❤
jacob’s voice is pure toned because he grew up as choirboy in england. BEST FOUNDATION for singing ever.
Your reaction at 9:38 speaks for all of us, I think. Thank you so much for sharing your reactions to this beautiful arrangement. Can't wait for Djesse 4 later this week.
Thank you for this wonderful reaction! If you haven't already, I recommend watching Jacob's Logic breakdown of this track - it's just astonishing!
Yess. I'm going to react to that too. Thanks for watching 😁
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel Brilliant!
I have seen this song bring so many people to tears for no apparent reason! music is such a wonderful, mysterious thing!
Awesome reaction. Looking forward to more. Subscribed.
I cry everytime I hear this song... there is so much magic, not just talent... but its something you cant hold in... PERFECT
If you haven't already, go watch Jacob's logic session breakdown of this, so incredible to peak through a window into how he does things
This just reached a part of my soul I didn't know existed and didn't know I needed. Omg this was euphoric. Thank you for the therapy session Charlie. Much love from New Zealand bro.
Wow! This was beautiful 🔥🔥🔥
Your reaction was beautiful I cried with you. That was just sublime. Like a comfort blanket soothing your soul.
Yeii. You found it! 🙂
Excellent reaction, Charlie. To take a near perfect version by Simon and Garfunkel and make it better is near impossible. The use of the voice as an orchestra with Yebba and Tori riffing with the virtuosity of a Jeff Beck is gorgeous. We are lucky to live in Jacobean times.
So thankful you got see your wish completed. What a beautifully woven story this song is!
Thanks for clarifying who the beginning vocalist was. Love me some Yebba. This is great! Fantastic reaction
was waiting for this reaction
an instant subscriber from this one video. Thank you for reacting to greatness!
Thank you brother 👊🏼
You must be an empath. Your soul is always so deeply touched by the music you share here. I’m with you. 💕🎧🎼🎶
Such sincerity 🤍 we thank you for this
What an amazing arrangement of this beautiful song. Jacob did a fantastic job and all the singers were killing it!
Thank you! You're my favourite reactor to Jacob's music, because you seem to have the same experience as me when you listen to him. Now I might not share the same background, (and I must say that I love your honesty in life and your vulnerability and openess. Keep it up man!) but I for sure share your tear filled experience as the Yebba part continues! Indeed a dream come true. Much love from Sweden 👍🏻
That cover art though......
It's too good
The cover art is an actual art piece made of glass if you didn't know yet ❤
This is a great song…unbelievable music…learnt a lot of movements from this song
It’s like the music of the upper spheres.
Ughhhh!!! This did something to my soullllllllllll. Whatttttttt 🥲
YEBBA!!!!!!!!!😮💨🙌🏾
I appreciate your take on this
I Love-Love-Loved the Bridge Over Troubled Water Logic Session Jacob did a couple of days ago, it was like diving through a microscope and, on an almost cellular level, swimming through regions of music I never knew existed. That in itself was mind-blowing and paradigm-shifting and left me befuddled and entranced and seriously off-kilter.
But now watching you listen to this piece brought it all back to the human level and scale and perspective and had a much more emotional impact on me. Thank you for sharing your experience with us and through sharing, enhancing my own enjoyment of this magnificent piece of music!
You're so welcome. I absolutely love that this enhanced your experience somehow. That makes what I do worth it ☺️❤️
Have you ever heard Ladysmith Black Mambaza? Or the Drakensburg Choir. Paul Simon did the album Graceland with Ladysmith Black Mambaza. It's really brilliant. Thank you for your beautiful reactions. This is one of the most amazing renditions of this song I've ever heard...
Yes I grew up on graceland so I know Ladysmith Black Mambazo very well
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel me too, I grew up in South Africa, and on Simon and Garfunkel from my parents playing it. Wonderful music
Ahh awesome! Where in SA are you from?
I grew up in Welkom in the Free State but lived in/nr Jo'burg as well as Cape Town for a few years, and the Eastern Cape as well for a few years. I grew up in a mining area so there was a lot of singing from the miners and it was always amazing.
Great video -- I shared many of your same reactions! Love this! To your point at 11:30 -- Jacob draws a big fan base from the world of jazz precisely because of his ability to sing like an instrumentalist. He has very deep theory knowledge and his vocal runs are incredibly exact and purposeful -- very unlike many of today's pop singers. That descending harmonic minor scale he shows Tori is a perfect example. Another fun example is here: th-cam.com/video/pK_k-4AdzyE/w-d-xo.html
Thanks again for the review and the great comments!
I’m so glad to see you see this ❤
I was waiting for you to react! I hope you're doing well man!
Many other great songs on the album, some with heart and some with less flashy musical brilliance "On a Rock" or his choral piece "World O World". I saw the live premiere of that and it was a highlight of the concert.
Great job as always. I've had a rough time recently as well. This version of Bridge Over Troubled Water hit hard.
Sorry to hear you've been going through it too. I hope you find resolution, comfort, peace, and ease soon ❤️
It's the great giza pyramid of music. Masterpiece
Your reaction at 3:28 could only be done by people who know the original (short) piece that Jacob did with Yebba's version. Like a little child so excited to finally have the finalized version. After hearing the short from Jacob and Yebba for so many times and it cutting off... and it finally been completed by some awesome editing of bits and pieces of a different Yebba song by Jacob... just gave me so much joy. And then Tori's bit was amazing as well.
There is now even a longer version (8 minutes) of Jacob and Tori doing this part instead of the short. Its on Jacobs channel as well.
Great reaction.. one that I can relate to :)
I feel so seen by your comment haha. Thank you so much for it. You perfectly described how I felt. Thank you for watching, I appreciate you ☺️
This is prob my fav reaction vid ever. U nailed how we all feel n I think u articulated it very well❤
Wow. I'm so honoured. Thank you so much ❤️
Hope things start swinging to your advantage brother! ONE LOVE
Charlie, Im sorry youre still having some bad days. You will get through it. You give such joy to others wirh your reactions. The music was great, your reaction even better. Much love and, like you say, take care of yourself❤️
Thank you Kathy. I appreciate that ❤️
Awesome analysis!!!
The original writer of Bridge Over Troubled Water is Paul Simon. Simon and Garfunkel Song it.❤
That was funny to see Tori's face when Jacob did those crazy runs and then realizing that's what he wanted her to do. Of course that's right in Tori's wheelhouse.
Celestial.
Great reaction. I have, perhaps, an unpopular take. This is incredible. I feel like Yebba and John exquisitely captured the emotion of the song, their embellishments were beautiful and always fit. Tori's best singing, in a way, was when she first came in, her warmth and straighter tone perfectly embodied the "sail on..." part of the song. When she started with her runs, which, don't get me wrong, I love and in a way I'm so here for it, the emotion of the song fizzled for me. Something about the overdone-ness of it, or perhaps the arrangement or production really just washed out the emotional intensity, I feel like they should have made a choice to perhaps do one or two amazing runs, timed to release something in the music. Anyway, not taking anything away from the stellar talent and execution of these artists. In a way, I feel like this is a general issue with Tori K, such an amazing artist who sometimes leaves me feeling flat. Just my take, I respect everyone's opinion.
And I reslect your opinion too Elina ☺️. I do know what you mean to be honest and you can see it in my reaction. When Tori started going IN I switched from overflowing emotions to just jaw open bewilderment at her technical prowess. Personally I don't mind that. With some artists you know you're going to be getting a showcase and that's fine for me. If anything I like it more because I got a bit of everything in one song haha
@@TheCharlieSmithChannel Yep, I see your point with that, too.
I think you're totally right about that switch being there, but maybe it's fitting for the track to move from being unsure and poignant into confident and strong like that? It seems to follow the emotional arc, from meeting someone who needs help where they are with a quiet voice into building them up and showing them the strength you're going to use for them.
Agree ! Much prefer that sweet poignant hauntingly beautiful first part of Toris session. But of course Jacob was the "director" if that's the right word lol.(telling her what to do?)
The MOST glorious recording in 20 years ! I actually get high on it .
it's "almost" as good as Samuel Barber's Adagio For Strings ( the most gorgeous piece of music ever written by human being ) For those who have never heard Adagio , Smoke a little weed .. go into a darkened room . put your headphones on ..type in the title here on TH-cam . lay down on a sofa , head on a pillow . lay back .. press the on button . .. It may be the first time music has made some of you weep .. trust me you will . you will feel as if the universe sweeping over you. give it a try
9:52 had the exact same reaction to this one. 😅
❤ appropriate reaction m8!
Dude, perfect reaction……me too!
Thank you brother
Have you seen Jacob's live in Lison version of Find me Somebody to love? Its wild!
9:47 YUP
sohyang bridge over troubled water, highly recommended listing/watching
I've already done it 😉
It's like listening to Michael Jackson's THRILLER for the first time.
❤
just wait for the last song on the album my days
Tori’s level of talent just doesn’t make sense to me. She’s so underrated and I just can’t understand why. Here’s what’s so crazy about this for me: usually singers who can do awesome runs can do them naturally and smooth- it’s a second nature to singers like Tori. And to that note, the concept of “learning” runs is pretty much absent. They can just feel what notes make sense and sing them without any technical breakdown. And breaking them down also would generally keep them from sounding rehearsed or rigid. But Jacob literally broke down all of the runs you hear Tori sing in this. Down to the single note. And these runs were INCREDIBLY complex. To not follow any major or minor standard scales and involve diminished, augmented and demented notes with 7ths and 9ths etc. makes that natural component of singing runs sooooo much more difficult. But still, she hears them once or twice and is able to reproduce them like it’s nothing. The runs themselves are genius and then her ability to reproduce them like she does is just insane. Absolutely insane.
I genuinely wish more people understood this. It's one thing to create your own but to have the ability to listen to and replicate someone elses complexities with SUCH EASE is absolutely astounding.
@@divaluxe_ yeah, exactly. His arrangement of those runs is ridiculously impressive but he likely did some over some time. She’s replicating that complexity in the fly. It’s insane.
Bro don’t worry, I’m welled up too…it’s way to much to take in, in one go…uplifting to the absolute max!
hey please please please could you react to the Missouri State University Choir singing Shenandoah? It’s the most gorgeous piece of choral music and makes me cry every time we sing it in school :) love your videos ❤
same bro...... same.
Beautiful channel indeed!!! Can you please play Spirit Of Praise 7 Ft. Mmatema - Make A Way or I am grateful also by Mmatema from South Africa 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
I can't find a place to send a suggestion. I STRONGLY suggest BENSON BOON singing his original IN THE STARS. Please!!!!!
