He's such a talent and he legitimately just has fun doing whatever, but how does he have such an intrinsic understanding of the mechanics of music. He literally discovers things organically only to find out its some rule discovered by a long-dead genius like Bach or Mozart.
he's born a prodigy haha. I think his brain is just naturally wired to understand music in a special way that we wouldn't be able to understand normally. He's probably able to see certain patterns in music that we don't see naturally.
@@vzvdm Yes, however Jacob is born within a music family and a room of many instruments as a playground, which basically made his brain "talk" in music and theory. It is not something everyone can do. Perfect pitch for example can only be learned by kids, usually younger than 12. There are many people around making beautiful music, but usually way older than him.
I love when he does those arrangements around a soloist, like he's not trying to overtake them or show them up but manages to complement them perfectly while allowing them to clearly shine It's not a skill many people have
@@gc0009 no 🤦♀️ the Oracle is like a place kinda thingy in greek mythology where all the gods n goddesses went to know about their future so Danny says that Jacob here, knkws that hes the one the Oracle predicted hope u get it now xx
@@georgerussell2947 i think we can argue he isnt just midly creative. im making a joke but i truly dont understand how is he so creative, my mind just dont work that way
Do.. do mine eyes deceive me? Or did I see, within the first five minutes of this video... *BOTH JACOB AND COSMO IN THE SAME PLACE AT THE SAME TIME INTERACTING LIKE BEST FRIENDS???!?* because if sooooo- I LOVE IT. Also, so much of the stuff he wears I wish I myself owned cause it is *awesome.*
how so? I feel like sarcasm is whooshing over my head rn, because perfect pitch actually helps quite a good bit on nailing down exactly which pitches are the ones you’re looking for.
@@scandalousbeans2591 using the method Jacob used in his “It Don’t Matter” TikTok, he just needed to get the pitch right once and could then move on by using that single clip as that note for future uses of that note
You know...I started classical training at 8 years old, moving from Piano, to Trumpet, to Tuba (with which I got a degree in Music performance), Bagpipes, and then I found my passion as a singer. I have always just been...gifted as a musician, and it brings me great joy. But sometimes I then see something by Jacob and realize that no matter how much I were to practice, I will never be that good of a musician...and I feel empty inside a little.e
but he's just one person. he can't be where you are and play for the people you will play to. So there are some joys out there in the universe, and some people that will receive the pleasure of appreciating them, reserved for you to provide. Jacob won't and could never substitute you when you are playing for your friends and family. That's your mission only. If you don't do it, no one else will. So, be inspired by his talent, but use it to maximize yours and go out there share your love for others with your music!
Comparison is the thief of all joy! I’m in the same boat my friend, started classical piano at 6, picked up trumpet which I’m now pursuing a performance degree in, and it’s important not to based your worth on how you compare to others, but rather on the joy it brings you personally and the lives you touch with your gift. God bless, don’t doubt yourself! (Trust me I’ve been there)
Hmmm, I appreciate this guy a lot and please correct me but it sounds a lot like prince in 1989. Listen to the Batman Soundtrack. It has those multiple harmonies and that crazy piano. Please listen to it.
If Mozart, Stevie Wonder, Prince, Debussy and Keith Jarrett had a baby it would Jacob Collier. His knowledge, instrumental facility and creativity are truly at an unrivaled level.
He's a musician with unheard of natural talent. There hasn't been a more naturally talented musician in likely a few hundred years. Now all that talent doesn't mean anything if there's no life experience or heart to go with it. You can't sell music if you can't connect with people, but as far as raw talent goes Jacob beats everyone else on Earth right now.
Man i know diff genre or anything but if you compare jacob to charlie puth... i mean... who's charlie puth again? 😂 a mixer? .1% maybe of jacob but man! Hes out of the fucking radar of jacob 😂
He's got a few good songs. Nothing like really good personally speaking. A lot of his music is really "showy" and challenging to listen to, and I'm pretty sure that's on purpose. Despite his auspicious child vibes he, as far as my understanding, he is a London bro, with training in Jazz and some other things, basically his mother payed for a lot of lessons for him (I'd guess, can't be confirmed)
@@cartoonhanks1708 His later songs are hit or miss for me, but I really enjoy some of his earlier choral or jazz piano works, which are much less showy, as well as some of his more raw electronic stuff. Also, I don't think he was classically trained, and even if he was, that doesn't detract from how gifted he is.
The universe: What direction does your hair grow in?
Jacob Collier's hair: yes
Even down. Yeah, fitting for him lol

Bro seriously its not that special hes just using music theory, all this shit has always been there
He has an intrinsic understanding because of early practice and then consistent passionate exploration

Considering joining tik tok just to see jacobs amazing content
lol i saw this video and I'm like "i hate tik tok" but then I see Jacob Collier and I'm like "dang, now i have to get tik tok"

Even if you don’t particularly enjoy his kind of music, you have to respect the talent and sheer amount of work he puts into his craft
One of the most talented people ever
What instrument do you play?
Me: I play the Croc.
what else can i say besides that he is simply cracked
3:30 for whenever i come back looking for this clip
yebba's embellishment is like flowers growing straight of the screen... I don't have synesthesia but that's the best way I can describe it.
I'm so glad you exist, Jacob :)
Imagine a guy like this working on a SubWay right now. World is a fked up place
Damn...
this says a lot about society
THIS MAN HAS 4 GRAMMYS
3:30 every chord on the the money
i only clicked because "Cacob Jollier" made me laugh
i was not disappointed
It must be really hard to play the rubber band with perfect pitch

I was looking around and clicked on something but autoplay took over and played this instead, and I'm so glad it did.
The pizza is my favorite music theory wise
14:45 Did he just play every chord lmao.
4:48 Me when I try to speak to my crush
amazing, thank you
Great stuff. Was that Conlon Nancarrow at 4:30? Or Jacob?
that one with the pizza was amazig ( for me as a drummer)
12:35 omg same
0:44 is so good :)
4:12 "Fart in my dreams,"

This guy is nuts, the more i watch his videos, more i get mad at myself.

8:59 all the way
ILOVETHISSOMUCH
JESUS CHRIST Loves y'all!!!!
I want more music like 10:13!
He’s great
15:01 Is that something he made up on the moment or is it a real piece?
I'd say most likely made up

Does Keanu Reeves then get Jacob Collier as look-a-like?
I liked and then unliked it so I could like it again
15:24
Is there any instrument he can't play, this wizzard
Violin
24:29
This man is a God at harmonization!
Wish he would do more arty music and move away from pop
I just now read your name XD
man this is aer candy
This guy is nothing but music
What's that giant domino he's playing?
Harpejji
@@jaslynlee cheers 👍
I just don't understand the haircut thingy
i think ariana grande doesn't really know what harmony is
I did not know Jacob could play drum and bass
Thought this was parody lol
2:09 what is Jacob doing? He's off beat and his rhythm makes no sense in context to the instruments already layed out.

Man i know diff genre or anything but if you compare jacob to charlie puth... i mean... who's charlie puth again? 😂 a mixer? .1% maybe of jacob but man! Hes out of the fucking radar of jacob 😂
Jacob ain't half the musician Marty Robbins was
people like to compare things and set quantitative art, but all of those musicians mentioned are all excellent in their own way.
Yes, he is talented BUT... Does anyone actually like his music?
Good question
Some is nice
What the actual fuck. It's like doubting if anyone even liked the genre that was not to your liking. Go widen your thinking
He's got a few good songs. Nothing like really good personally speaking. A lot of his music is really "showy" and challenging to listen to, and I'm pretty sure that's on purpose.

His voice ruined the first song.
