Jacob Collier and dodie perform "Summer Rain" with the NSO | NEXT at the Kennedy Center

[@JusticeConstantine]

I love seeing Jacob with Dodie.

[@rudolfboukal1538]

Jacob's tenderness is always the upper most layer of his creations, and his excellence is not perfection, but rather it is found in the vastness and depth of his expressiveness.

[@javierfrancisflores7797]

I will praise this way to the next barista

[@samuelreisart]

What a great time to be alive, I'm so glad of being able to listen Jacob and his universe.

[@leif1075]

Why don't you make a universe like him?

[@SeerOfTime577]

Dodie and Jacob were truly born to sing together.

[@stewiegriffin993]

It's like he knows how to target the most vulnerable spot you have as a listener and then just nurture it gently. Incredible. Happened with almost every song of his I've heard

[@bramdevlaam1154]

Perfectly described man

[@valaya.3]

This is the first time I'm hearing this song, and oh am I so very touched by all the lyrics in dodie's verse. "You held me down before," "I'm so free without you," and yet I'm "gonna miss you like summer rain." This feels like it is speaking my soul. "I get by, so high," higher than with you. But you persist in being a part of me. And I continue to miss the times we had that were sweet and joyous, like rain in the summer. What an incredibly beautiful representation of the dichotomy of this kind of grief, coupled by joy. It feels like it's telling me that it's okay to have both, and it makes that grief feel sweeter somehow. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for everyone involved in bringing this music to life ❤

[@robertwarren7862]

Jacob is one of the best music artists out their now, yesterday and tomorrow. Music is his soul , not in it but is it. I know Jacobs mother is a conductor and from what I've seen she is amazing so I believe her soul is music. Thanks mom, seriously thank you for giving us yourself and your also amazing son Jacob. Godspeed.

This is so lush and beautiful

[@jinni0831]

i can't help but cry at this version of summer rain. dodie's sweet vocals and jacob's incredible harmonies and ad libs are just breathtaking. the way that the audience, dodie, and the orchestra watch jacob just speaks volumes about his musical abilities. what an amazing soul and such beautiful gifting. the NSO is so incredible and dodie is so gentle yet powerfully moving. i love being alive to hear this 💙

[@travishamrick6728]

Love the overalls

[@floatingclouuds]

I HAVE DREAMED FOR THIS DAY, FOR THEM TO DO ANOTHER COLLAB because I know the pure admiration they just have for each other, and to sing SUMMER RAIN??? MADE MY YEAR 💞

[@nicoleevenolan]

This is so childlike and it killed me 😭 if only every human could be as vulnerable as Jacob and Dodie.

[@HiteshCeon]

Insane. Incredible. Beautiful. There are no words that fully describe this.

[@amrazing33]

They've come a long way since their cover of The Beatles' "Here Comes The Sun"!

[@hermithollow2024]

My day isn’t complete without a song from Jacob. 😊

[@danisaksson3214]

I'm crying bro. This is beautiful. I love both Dodie and Jacob's voices, and the orchestra is doing a GREAT job. There's such warmth in this. Thank you for the upload.

[@MsMsmak]

Oh my lord. I'm in tears.

[@GautierSeguinMusic]

That was so warmful, Dodie and Jacob Collier always were an incredible duo!

[@chuckrainey8036]

I’d describe myself as more impressed by JC than really into his music, but boy can he orchestrate. And these chord progressions are so Bruce Hornsby, quite nice. I think he’s going to wind up making something that I really love

[@stevecoulthard8060]

Go and listen to the live recording of Little Blue or Fix You. They both reduce many people to tears, including me.

[@Michael-me6qu]

I love it when he doesn’t over do the fancy chord progressions. Like another poster commented- for me the real beauty is in his sensitivity not in his impressive musical tricks

[@davidfleuchaus]

Chuck and Steve, I would add Bridge Over Troubled Waters to that list.

[@jillenajosh]

And his choral piece, is it O World?

[@aleg_001]

@@stevecoulthard8060 Just saw him in Mexico, I cried with those 2 songs. I can't explain it, but it was one of the highlights of my life, it moved me in a way no other artist has had that effect on me. I flew from Guatemala just to see him haha.

[@sebbenilsson860]

The arrangement of this is just out of this world. Incredible performance! 💙

[@peggentle6882]

A splendidly sweet song sung with such tenderness and passion!!!! I sat mesmerized as I listened to the voices flowing and rising together! I know I will listen to this performance MANY MORE times! What a blessing!

[@vanblairs4322]

Amazing!!!!!! Ben Folds, you sneaky devil. I had no idea this was going on. The Kennedy Center is so lucky! Bravo! Brava! That was awesome 👏👏👏

[@DarkkestNite]

Did not have a dodie/Jacob Collier/NSO collab on my 2024 bingo but this is so breathtakingly lovely (Also, is she not wearing shoes? Love that for her tbh)

I’m so jealous wow

[@nathanvarghese.]

So was the audience all trained singers or just normal ppl?

[@Rp-wt7uz]

@@nathanvarghese. Likely normal people, but Jacob lovers are typically also musically gifted haha. Plus he's a good director!

[@floatingclouuds]

@@nathanvarghese. I was at his live piano once and he did the same thing too and the crowd just vibe along and harmonize. You'd be surprised of what a combination of normal people could do in unison, truly spectacular ⭐

[@TimpTim]

My favorite of the program, except maybe the finale (!) Tears at such sensitivity and beauty.

[@baba_au_rhummm]

First time I ever got to tears on a KZbin Video... A great Bravo from France and all the world for this fascinating music ! It inspires me so much for my own work. It makes me wanna work like crazy to get this emotion... Love on all of you, people of the earth.

[@slingeries]

The soulful run at 2:57.. We are definitely influential!!! Great Job Jacob

[@korpus570]

Nearly unbelievable! Wonderful arrangement with Zero to 100 % dynamics! Great!!!

[@MrNyeingyi]

Just bring tears to my eyes. Thank you for sharing and Maestro Jacob ,Dodie and Nso 🙏🏾

[@Jason-ir5ig]

In every version of this that I've heard (this, the studio recording, and the mahogany session), my favorite part is invariably the tension in the chords and subsequent release on the second verse. In this case, it's when Dodie sings "don't love you anymore" and "so high"

[@mtoshamtosha]

Jacob always says there's no such thing as a wrong note, yet he never ever seems to play one!!! Everything he does is perfection in my eyes, or ears rather.

[@tinogero]

Many people still do not realize that we are in front of one of the best musicians of recent times. Let's take advantage and enjoy because that is surely what Jacob wants us to do with his genius.

[@vecernicek2]

People who write this kind of comments do not realize how many truly incredible musicians are out there. This is not to diminish Jacob, who is truly great. But there are people just as good as him, doing their own things. Jacob is better known, but not alone. Bunch of incredible composers, mind blowing multiinstrumentalists, original creators, child prodigies of all kinds. Good news for you is, you've got a lot of great things to discover.

[@Nooticus]

@vecernicek2 spot on

[@dolefomi]

@@vecernicek2if you know people who are “just as good as him” please tell us their names! Like I’m very open minded about this, but haven’t heard anyone come close in recent times. So I’m sceptical. But I’d really love to be shown that I’m completely wrong about this and get to hear even more genius music! Thanks for your answer :)

[@vecernicek2]

@@dolefomi Antoine Boyer, young guitarist. Gadi Lehavi, piano player. Sol Gabetta, classical cellist. Nastia Tiurina, child prodigy balalaika player. Keith Jarrett - no description needed. Cory Henry, multi-instrumentalist, singer. The list could be very long.

[@a12i9]

​​@@vecernicek2 most of the people will always be very little known, so this list will always be vastly incomplete. You can't really compare two people one by one, though. They all have their own talent, just as Jacob has his.

[@dragonsouleater1119]

ive heard of j. collier, and i freakin' love dodie. i did not expect this to be an experience. wow. wow.

Bro Jacob has mastered the art of peace in music ❤ and that’s coming from the spirit me. Like i feel like i levitated

A massage for the soul

[@jubrazenar]

Not sure if it was intentional, but the way Dodie floated onto the stage mid-song, appearing in black and white tones, almost like a specter representing the past relationship described in the song. This was striking to me. Beautiful work all around.
