Jacob... After watching this once at work yesterday (and barely holding myself together), I decided that I'll hook this up to the living room screen and the sound system after dinner later that night and invite the family to watch/listen. My three teen/preteen kids usually wander off to their rooms or elsewhere in the house but I asked them to stick around. Everyone in the family knows the Coldplay original. So there we were, all five of us: myself, my wife, and the kids. There was a bit of whispered chatter between my daughters, the oldest and the youngest of the three, but it quickly died out when you started singing the first verse. My son, the middle child, was on his phone but immediately put it away, too. For six minutes after that there was an absolute pin drop silence in the room. At the end, my daughters were hugged together and in silent tears. My wife had snuggled up to me and she was a mess as well. My 16 year old son had his head in both hands, with a 'woah!' look on his face as he turned to me, while I was with watery eyes and smiling back at them all. A few long seconds passed until my youngest daughter, 12, whispered, "Please play it again." We watched it twice more. Everyone in the room will never forget that evening in a very, very long time. Thank you, sir.
Thank you so much for sharing that. It shows just how powerful music can be, and particularly when performed with such genuine unrestricted creativity and compassion. I saw Jacob live a year ago and was absolutely mind blowing!
Dear Jacob, I am an 84 year old granny, living in France. Would just like to tell you how you are important. You have been given such extraordinay talents, and you are using them so well. Yes, this poor beautiful old world needs so much fixing, and my, are you doing your part ! Thank you for being there !🙏🌏❤🙏
@@gummiewormproduction oh my god wHY??? WHAT DO YOU THINK THEY GET FROM LYING??? fucking give it a rest, it's people who think like you that cause things like flat earth and climate deniers to feel justified in asking questions that have no basis for even being asked.
Thank you for the inspiration. I am a cancer survivor. The song has always been beautiful but this version heals so much more than what meets the eye. Thank you Jacob...thank you. God bless you more in ever increasing creative measure. 😊🙏🏼♥️🇵🇭
This song feels very comforting & reassuring. I always get that same feeling when I listen to "When I Hear You Call" which without a doubt is my most favorite song of yours. So, thank you very much. Looking forward to more of your creative endeavors . :)
I'm right now sitting next to the bed in which my dad is lying, dying from cancer. I'm listening to this song while I'm watching him, expecting the next breath of air to be his last. This hits home Jacob, so much. Thank you, for the comfort you give me right now. I'm right now loosing something I can't replace.
@@sterloincee sending love! It's been a year now, when I was in your place. Hearing my mum's last breath, when she was dying from cancer in her 50s. And then a month or so after she died, I heard this song and I exactly knew what it means to lose someone you can't replace...
I couldn't agree more, but I don't think he will. He's not exactly a minimalistic guy even though I personally prefer these stripped down acoustic pop arrangements that still are 100x more creative and moving than other covers.
My wife went through cancer. Should have died in June of 2016, but she made it. She made it because of a small army of professionals who took care of her and because she’s the strongest person I’ve ever met. Much stronger than me. This was amazing.
I'm pretty sure Chris has already been here. Much love to Jacob and to all of the listeners out there. Much to the dismay of politicians, only art can help the healing of some wounds.
Even when you're bloody Coldplay, it must be an absolute privilege to sit and watch someone cover your song with such imagination and passion. That was stunning.
I first heard this song from my preschoolers in class, one particular little boy had the sweetest voice and knew every word. His mother was in the mental hospital. He told me if he closes his eyes he can “ send the song” to her. 💔😭
I cried when I read your comment the first time. Randomly scrolled again and read it now and it struck again like lightning. Can’t think of a better description of pure love.
i was reading some comments on reddit on a group that was just dissing Jacob in everyway possible from his voice to what they call over-complicated voicings. Let me say the one common theme I saw in those comments was that none of those people had "hope". In fact it seemed that they had the opposite of hope. They didn't like the feeling of memory, reflection and nostalgia that some of his music evokes. Jacob brings such love and empathy to everything he touches and there are those that think that is outdated? Old fashioned? How can anyone say that after listening to this masterpiece. I find myself coming back to this rendition daily and each time I think I can get through it, I start crying. I read some of the comments in this feed, and start crying from those. I am so happy to have Jacob Collier in this world. He can't be from this planet, as he is to joyous and wonderous. I think it's fine when someone doesn't like an artist's music, but when trolls on the internet want to spew their hatred for any artist, I find it so disheartening. I look for the people who redeem humanity, and Jacob Collier, you are one of them.
long story ... had piano ... do not have piano piano was noisy and this playing reminds me of my skeleton piano because the workings werent inna box ... pretty sure its in the same class action against string squeaks on a nylon ... although they set my teeth but the piano mech sounds give me another insight also thers a VST piano V3 that allows you to dictate the levels of various physical aspects of the joanna ...free trial go on then ...
Lost my mother to kidney cancer this March. Still listening to this with tears in my eyes. Too bad she could not be fixed but I can be. Thank you Jacob for this (and Coldplay).
trying to harmonize along with his voice and not ever knowing where he’s gonna go with the next note.....quite a fun challenge and so satisfying once you get that harmony right. i would do many things to be able to harmonize with jacob for real.
I love the end of that run, which is what they call in the guitar world a hammer pull, I think. I’m a self-taught pianist and I don’t even know what it’s called on piano :)
Yeah, but that’s pretty consistent with the original. Based on where the key he chose sits on his register, he has the choice to sing this part really high or really low. And this time, he chose low. It’s not unusual to hear Jacob sing quite low, in a way that is accurate but maybe not hugely moving. I like it, but it’s not exceptional to me.
@@johningram2153 close with the terminology. On a stringed instrument a 'hammer on' is when you change your fringering on an already vibrating string to sound a higher note, i.e. hammering with your finger on the string. A 'pull off' is the opposite; you pull your finger off to sound a lower note. Doing a hammer on then pull off on a pair of notes is a 'trill'. 'Tapping' is hammer ons and pull offs without plucking the string first, and usually uses both hand on the neck of the instrument.
I always thought Chris Martin couldn’t have made this song any better. This guy, however, plays with so much soul and passion. It’s a tough ask to take a classic and cover it. This is truly stunning.
@@PS-jt6zt It's a chord or note sound that doesn't fit with the notes that were played before, I can hear the changes but don't have an idea what they are either. But after the change you can just figure out the new key, for example by trying to figure out a note that would feel good to end on in the current key
My father loved your songs, a connoisseur ... He was 66 years old and he passed away this summer. He said " This guy, he's going to make me my evening, my week, my month, my year! " Thank you.
Nothing has ever been more needed in my life than this. Yesterday my dog lost his battle with cancer while in my arms. This truly is what I needed❤️ thank you
@@macaroon147 Why are you so butthurt that people like Jacob Collier's music? You're going around replying to comments, trying to invalidate how people feel about his music. You don't like him, and that's okay. Just keep it to yourself, nobody's forcing you to listen to his music.
I've been really struggling a lot lately with the death of my dad, who passed away about a year ago now. He worked for coldplay for many many years, most of my life (I'm 22 now) and at his funeral I did a cover of the scientist because that was his favourite song of theirs. Today has been particularly hard for me and i've been unable to do my uni assignments but stumbling across this today has really helped me. You've created such a beautiful version Jacob and finding this has made my day.
As time passes life pushes in, crowds out, says “not now” but music/experiences like this are central, non-optional, elemental aspects of honesty and life integrity that warrant diving into again. I hope you have gifted your truest self time to dwell in this place. It’s honestly rare to come across these avenues of connection. I am writing to encourage you, and others who might read this, to shut off all the other noise in your life for these few short minutes and hear this tune again.
yep my favourite genre of music id definitely jacob playing a piano cover of a song i thought i already knew and then crying as i put it on repeat for three weeks solid:)
Currently grieving my relationship. 3 weeks post breakup. This hits hard. Currently lying in bed crying. He had BPD and ADHD and with it came a lot of challenges...especially without the help of therapy. But...I forgive him. I have to in order to move forward. All the abuse, the toxicity....I'm stronger than this and I deserve to be with someone who wants to be with me. Someone who chooses me the way I chose him every time. I deserve that. He does too. This pain feels impossible to overcome, but I know time heals, I know it will all be okay. This song gives me hope.
This song means so much to me and to hear it performed so incredibly beautifully is truly a blessing. Much love to everyone in the world. I hope this song reaches others as it has me. What a great cover.
@@patnotable sadly the big awards like album of the year are almost always mainly based on popularity, not talent. So i’m expecting it to go to someone like the weekend or taylor swift. I like them both, but Jacob deserves it more than anyone if we’re talking about talent.
Hi there jacob, I love that you're talking about this and dedicating this cover to it, your music and voice really makes me feel better when I'm really anxious or just feeling kind of depressed and I bet thousands of people think the same
Absolutely. I feel like this is something we all do in our heads when we hear songs, but we don’t have the capacity to reflect it like Jacob does. Everyone hears something unique, and if we could just express it, it would be beautiful. But I think he inspires people to try, or at least want to
Jacob, your voice has really matured and sounds so beautiful. Thank you for this performance. From a guy living with stage 4 non-Hodgkins lymphoma cancer. .
@@stevenmejiamusic3495 Thank you for your very kind thought and prayer, Steven and Woten. I am happy to report that I am now in remission. I pray the same for everyone else struggling with all forms of cancer.
Jacob Collier is a genre of music that is carefully concocted from heaven and chilled with the Seraphims' wings. I am still mindblown that the internet can actually handle such talent without its seams breaking.
6:20 I love it! Not quite a modulation, but everybody expects B major to go to E major with a 3rd in the melody, and suddenly the 3 became the 5 in c sharp major! So beautiful!
@@iMannyLP He loves doing that, and for good reason. I think he also did that with You've Got A Friend at the end when he played it live th-cam.com/video/3xjCT4bLbJs/w-d-xo.html
One of the most outstanding vocal performances ever! The piano chords, voicings, dynamics everything adds to the subtlety of this performance! Have been going back to listening to this for months, brings back bitter sweet memories!
I come back here at least once a week, sometimes more, and play it at the studio or just wearing my headphones. And it's just like a river, always the same and always different, a ceaseless connection with the spirit and the beauty. Thank you man for this overwhelming light, I feel truly gratefulness, blessed for sharing the same time-space with you.
I like how you can hear each note when JC does a run...it doesn't all just smear together like it does with most people (including myself when I sing in the shower, LOL). What an impressive musician and vocalist he is. Amazing.
i heard this song for the first time a few days after a mother figure of mine died. she meant the absolute world to me. i sincerely believe that this song saved me. i remember hearing it for the first time and it made me feel seen and understood. i am now about to move out. i'm scared i'm changing my life irreparably. i know i’m making the right choice but my family means so much to me. we are not perfect but we love each other. my brother introduced me to your music a few years ago. thank you for saving me, thank you for making your music, thank you.
I have heard Fix You many times, but I'm crying watching this. Jacob is amazing. With the context he put in the beginning, and I see his sincere singing and he's like putting his all soul to the song, this performance is super amazing. The message of the song is brought soooo more powerful than I used to hear. Jacob you're awe!
your music and artistic expression mean the world to me but i also love listening to you speak, you're eloquent and your voice is very smoothing✨💞 thank you jacob
Have you all listened to his Lionel Richie's 'All night long' cover? I bet you have, but for you who haven't, just watch it you'll love it. All his talent is on show, his mastery of ALL instruments, his voice, his arrangements, his harmonies... Goose bumps, hurray, halleluyah, bravo, to die for !!!
well said !!! ... i may not agree with some of the politics or sentiments at times of either but i can truly say without fear or favour that jacob is the most ... well ... he is the most ... show me another with this level of emotional ... errr how to describe it ... magnetism ? and of course stephen ... well ... he plays so well with the language and gentle humour and yet in QI wasn't afraid to take a bold stride in a fauvoured direction... nice to find a soul who can comment on this tube without the seemingly inevitable vitriol thank you
I just sat at my desk for several minutes stunned and amazed after I watched and listened to this. Then I watched and mostly listened again. I just had to...
Reading comments i could not believe how emotional this rendition was - and as someone whos used to music covers and the such - i cannot explain how or why my heart and skin feels the way it does but, bravo.
Jacob Collier is like the Jacob Collier of music.
Excellent! 😂 And true
🍞
I agree
Perfect comment!
This makes no sense, but also makes total sense at the same time

I think Mr. Collier should create an all-acoustic album covering songs like this and Hallelujah.
Yes! But he won’t unless the idea inspires and excites him. This song is wonderful and I listen to it on repeat!
I couldn't agree more, but I don't think he will. He's not exactly a minimalistic guy even though I personally prefer these stripped down acoustic pop arrangements that still are 100x more creative and moving than other covers.
If you like this type of album I recommend listening to James Blake’s cover EP. It’s just him and a piano and it’s beautiful.
@@Buttermi1kJesus Thanks!
My wife went through cancer. Should have died in June of 2016, but she made it. She made it because of a small army of professionals who took care of her and because she’s the strongest person I’ve ever met. Much stronger than me. This was amazing.
much respect for you sir!
She probably was strong during all of that for one particular reason: she didn't want to leave you. You must be a really good husband

She beat it❣️
Lived until passing in her sleep on Valentine's Day at 97 years old in 2015.

Harmony too! :)
And he knows exactly how to record properly.
hahaha wtf are u talking about... this is brilliant, awsome, nothing to do with dynamic.... crazy
This is.. awful
Song's been out for 15 years with a million covers and Jacob's like "what if I recorded the best one yet?" and just straight up did that
the original is officially obsolete now
Jacob, I've only just discovered you this very day. You feel like a Christmas gift, a birthday wish, a babes breath, and an ocean dive all at once!!!
Mine happened today
how true and how sensitive ... you get to emotionally bolster and sneak in a poem
I began blowing my nose within the first 30 seconds. He has a gift from God Himself.
antihistamine and agnostisism will save your soul but jacob can reach in there and find salvation
The noises of the pedals and hammers moving is everything
Thank you that finally somebody appreciates these sounds as much as I do!!
oh yes absolutely, it sounds like he is playing piano next to me, i can hear the seat craking and stuff, its amazing
I was laying in bed with lights off and these sounds were freaking me out haha. I had to keep pausing to check my room. 😂
All I thought when I heard these noises during the first notes was “fix your piano”.
long story ... had piano ... do not have piano
piano was noisy and this playing reminds me of my skeleton piano because the workings werent inna box ... pretty sure its in the same class action against string squeaks on a nylon ... although they set my teeth but the piano mech sounds give me another insight
also thers a VST piano V3 that allows you to dictate the levels of various physical aspects of the joanna ...free trial
go on then ...
I’m literally crying all alone in my bed, in the dark. I need a hug

I am writing to encourage you, and others who might read this, to shut off all the other noise in your life for these few short minutes and hear this tune again.
Your father must have been a great guy!
Bless you god!
Anyone else in a room where they’re cutting onions all of a sudden? 😭
BROO IKR I WAS IN BUSINESS INFO MANAGEMENT CLASS 'N THIS MADE ME CRY😭😂
yep my favourite genre of music id definitely jacob playing a piano cover of a song i thought i already knew and then crying as i put it on repeat for three weeks solid:)
Currently grieving my relationship. 3 weeks post breakup. This hits hard. Currently lying in bed crying. He had BPD and ADHD and with it came a lot of challenges...especially without the help of therapy. But...I forgive him. I have to in order to move forward. All the abuse, the toxicity....I'm stronger than this and I deserve to be with someone who wants to be with me. Someone who chooses me the way I chose him every time. I deserve that. He does too. This pain feels impossible to overcome, but I know time heals, I know it will all be okay. This song gives me hope.
This song means so much to me and to hear it performed so incredibly beautifully is truly a blessing. Much love to everyone in the world. I hope this song reaches others as it has me. What a great cover.
If Jacob doesn’t win a Grammy next awards season the system is broken
With 4 Grammys already under his belt, and increasing visibility, I'm totally in agreement with you.
I mean there are four of them sitting right there...
He's nominated for AOTY
@@patnotable sadly the big awards like album of the year are almost always mainly based on popularity, not talent. So i’m expecting it to go to someone like the weekend or taylor swift. I like them both, but Jacob deserves it more than anyone if we’re talking about talent.
Hi there jacob, I love that you're talking about this and dedicating this cover to it, your music and voice really makes me feel better when I'm really anxious or just feeling kind of depressed and I bet thousands of people think the same
his music has definitely calmed me down from being on the verge of an anxiety attack before
He took a song, made it his own, and created something beautiful and unique.
Absolutely. I feel like this is something we all do in our heads when we hear songs, but we don’t have the capacity to reflect it like Jacob does. Everyone hears something unique, and if we could just express it, it would be beautiful. But I think he inspires people to try, or at least want to
please let it never end. it's so beautiful that it makes me realise that the music only helps me heal myself. thank you jacob you are the greatest
2:02 I like when he singing (dooowwn) he actually going down in pitch of microtonal notes , is like a falling star 🌟
Or 2:23
its just a glissando dont trip
I was just in another universe... Thank you Jacob!
Jacob Collier here just casually singing some of the highest notes that a man has ever sung.
@@WyattAkins Dimash Kudaibergen, to be precise
@@egaga- @Wyatt Akins Great. You can check too: Saimkho Namtchylak - Midnight blue. 7-octaves voice.
we'll just settle with *"some of the" highest notes then
sounds beautiful regardless
and some lowest ones.
@@natek6845 That is true
Jacob, your voice has really matured and sounds so beautiful. Thank you for this performance. From a guy living with stage 4 non-Hodgkins lymphoma cancer. .
pls get better, thank u luv from germany
Praying you will get better!
@@stevenmejiamusic3495 Thank you for your very kind thought and prayer, Steven and Woten. I am happy to report that I am now in remission. I pray the same for everyone else struggling with all forms of cancer.
@@bruin4937 that's great! God bless you
@@stevenmejiamusic3495 Thank you, and you too.
Articulate, humble, and brilliant. Does anyone wish they know Jacob Collier in person?
Thank you. Tears streaming, heart moved, wounds healing…Shine on…
Jacob Collier is a genre of music that is carefully concocted from heaven and chilled with the Seraphims' wings. I am still mindblown that the internet can actually handle such talent without its seams breaking.
Genistrek, både musikken til coldplay og din verson.👍
Beautiful 🔥🙏🏻
Klaus likes Jacob Collier!!
What about a chili tasting with Jacob Collier?
Du laver fantastiske videoer!
Wow this is one hell of an unexpected crossover
When CK gives you a 🔥 it MEANS something
Now we need Chili Klaus to play with lick after eating a spicy pepper.
4:03 unexpected modulations are the best modulations.
Just as i was reading you comment :}
6:20 I love it! Not quite a modulation, but everybody expects B major to go to E major with a 3rd in the melody, and suddenly the 3 became the 5 in c sharp major! So beautiful!
@@iMannyLP Unexpected substitutions are the best substitutions :D
@@iMannyLP He loves doing that, and for good reason. I think he also did that with You've Got A Friend at the end when he played it live

Thank you, it was like music from heaven coming to a disconnected world. You are amazing, if you ever read this line...
One of the most outstanding vocal performances ever! The piano chords, voicings, dynamics everything adds to the subtlety of this performance! Have been going back to listening to this for months, brings back bitter sweet memories!
... und wieder ist die Welt für einen Moment schöner!
Danke, Jacob ♡
Lovin the "Jacob just finished a song" face at the end
This is the most emotional, sensitive, intimate version i´ve ever heard of Fix You. You improved it. Brilliant as always.
nah
I know it’s amazing! Completely agree with you
He fixed it
Brian Tarrant watch the video like 4 more times and hopefully you’ll hear it
@@frankmosca underrated comment hahah
I come back here at least once a week, sometimes more, and play it at the studio or just wearing my headphones. And it's just like a river, always the same and always different, a ceaseless connection with the spirit and the beauty. Thank you man for this overwhelming light, I feel truly gratefulness, blessed for sharing the same time-space with you.
I like how you can hear each note when JC does a run...it doesn't all just smear together like it does with most people (including myself when I sing in the shower, LOL). What an impressive musician and vocalist he is. Amazing.
One of the most talented musicians in the world. PERIOD.
My brother left this world almost a year ago and today I remembered it, I was sad. This music cured me, again🖤
Holy Sh*t!!! Beyond. Just beyond. His musicality is STUNNING.
but did you like it ?
i heard this song for the first time a few days after a mother figure of mine died. she meant the absolute world to me. i sincerely believe that this song saved me. i remember hearing it for the first time and it made me feel seen and understood.
i am now about to move out. i'm scared i'm changing my life irreparably. i know i’m making the right choice but my family means so much to me. we are not perfect but we love each other. my brother introduced me to your music a few years ago.
thank you for saving me, thank you for making your music, thank you.
I have heard Fix You many times, but I'm crying watching this. Jacob is amazing. With the context he put in the beginning, and I see his sincere singing and he's like putting his all soul to the song, this performance is super amazing. The message of the song is brought soooo more powerful than I used to hear. Jacob you're awe!
for all of jacob's multi instrumental talents, his voice is what i enjoy the most
Why do we never talk about his vocal range
your music and artistic expression mean the world to me but i also love listening to you speak, you're eloquent and your voice is very smoothing✨💞 thank you jacob
I Lost one of my friend this month of cancer. This song help me so much ..
I love you thomas 11/15/2022
Have you all listened to his Lionel Richie's 'All night long' cover? I bet you have, but for you who haven't, just watch it you'll love it. All his talent is on show, his mastery of ALL instruments, his voice, his arrangements, his harmonies... Goose bumps, hurray, halleluyah, bravo, to die for !!!
Jacob Collier: When the pure beauty of music makes you cry.....Thank you, Jacob !
I just can’t stop listening to this. And it moves me every single time.
All I can say is: Thank you, Jacob
Jacob Collier is an absolute master of his craft. This is simply stunning.
holy shit. the fucking pitch clarity on the higher flip on 'love' at 3:27 is insane. I literally gasped out loud.
I’m not crying... you’re crying 😭
Most emotionally touching JC vocals I've heard!
I love the timbre of his voice at 4:04-4:10. Breathy but powerful
one of the most beautiful things I've heard in a long time. Thanks.
Thank you Jacob ❤ No words can describe your talent ! thank you for being here
The original song is already beautiful, but this cover... man, it's the loveliest thing ever ❤️
For me who i lost my dad 4 years ago from brain cancer u made me feel someting i havent felt before! Thank you good Sir!
this my friends is the definition of passion
Your voice is like an old friend i haven't heard from in a long time.... Reassuring they're still there and that everything will be ok.
you are the musical gift to the world as Stepehen Fry is , in trhe domain of language Thank you
well said !!! ... i may not agree with some of the politics or sentiments at times of either but i can truly say without fear or favour that jacob is the most ... well ... he is the most ... show me another with this level of emotional ... errr how to describe it ... magnetism ?
and of course stephen ... well ... he plays so well with the language and gentle humour and yet in QI wasn't afraid to take a bold stride in a fauvoured direction...
nice to find a soul who can comment on this tube without the seemingly inevitable vitriol
thank you
I just sat at my desk for several minutes stunned and amazed after I watched and listened to this. Then I watched and mostly listened again. I just had to...
His voice is actually so under appreciated it’s gorgeous
Reading comments i could not believe how emotional this rendition was - and as someone whos used to music covers and the such - i cannot explain how or why my heart and skin feels the way it does but, bravo.
I’m feeling emotions which are hard to describe, a whole load of them. Beautiful
What a rare but beautiful version!
I don't know who this "Cold Play" is,
but they sure are gonna blow up after this cover,
way to go Jacob!!
You’re so funny
haha
Bless Jacob’s humble heart
i bet you're fun at parties.
😂 love u
