If you just arrived here, if you're not used to Jacob,if you don't understand the hype around his music, please don't stop at your first listening. Take some time. Sit on your couch, get good headphones. Listen to this peace of arts not once, not twice. Listen to it ten times on a raw, even more, even if you have no musical knowledge like I do, until you get a grasp of most of the voices, most of the musical parts. Until you get all the lyrics if you're French like I am (sorry for my mistakes by the way). Until you can see these more than wonderful paintings that is this video clip. Until you can see the pictures by listening to this song. Until you can see the big picture, the wonderful structure. Until you can hear, see, feel, and take by the hand a holistic approach to this masterpiece. Once you're here, you get it. You can feel it in your bones. You get the chills. You get the hype. You can feel all the links created and underlined by Jacob's music. I must warn you though : once you've been here, you're hooked. Nevermind the place or time, this piece will have your soul bounce and leap above what you imagined was possible. This is art. This is love. This is links. I'm hooked, please get onboard.

It seems that he's refined his style for Vol. 3. The production is still very impressive and there's a lot of complexity under the surface, but it's been applied subtly, and everything seems to be in the intrest of serving the composition instead of an ambitious demonstration of what he's capable of.

[@samvitpremsinghal9460]

I don’t wanna like crap on u or something but I feel Jacob never made music to demonstrate his abilities. He always talks about doing what feels right. And he is following the different themes he’s placing on the 4 volumes.

[@jeremyburne2352]

Samvit Singhal yeah but he really does love cramming every single idea into each song, and sometimes it gets in the way of a lot of peoples enjoyment of it which is fair enough I’d say. With more time and experience he seems to be holding this desire back a little bit and letting the song speak for itself :-)

[@uhetsberger]

@@samvitpremsinghal9460 Agreed, I don't think of it as demonstrating his abilities but expanding his musical horizon.

@@samvitpremsinghal9460 I'm not accusing him of being a show off. He's a genius and he just wants to share his ideas with the world.

I just had an incredible day yesterday with my girlfriend and a really close friend, the whole day we explored the city and had so much fun and ended it all going to another friend's 18th birthday party. I had so so much fun. This song made me cry in happiness as listening to it made me realise how incredibly lucky I am to have someone who i love with all of my heart and so much more, and to also have an amazing friend who I know cares so much about me. The first time i listened to this song i couldn't stop crying as this overwhelming feeling of being loved and loving someone so much just overwhelmed me. I've never felt the former feeling before. I really hope whoever reads this has or gets to feel this chest tightening feeling too.

@@jonny__b The only thing along those lines that's stood out to me is the chorus from "All I Need". Love the song, but a bit too much cute close rhyming and "makes me feel alright" felt a bit too basic/over-used pop lyric. Though I'm pretty sure I've heard him say he spent a while on those lyrics to get them right for him, so... *shrugs shoulders* I feel picky mentioning this given every other fantastic wonderful thing he's doing.

As a longtime Jacobite, I loved his happy side, the joking trickster, his connection with the inner child of creativity. Here, he is dipping into maturity. He looks 15, sounds like an ancient soul, and in this tune gains the initiation into sorrow, loss, the blues, and gospel grooves. Listening now, I am crying not only from beauty, but also with depth.

[@owfan4134]

In the beginning, the guy is at his piano but not playing it. He turns around and stares into a window while his entire reality fixates on it. Memories follow which are beautiful, and the first things to bubble to the surface. Then a silhouette of a different character; brief snippets of contextless images appear, as if they were each little stabs to the heart. A piano is played with two pairs of hands, a hand from a second character blocks light over the first character’s face, a moment of profound sadness, a shattering of glass, and the two go their separate ways. He leaves the memory and shuts the door. Second character returns on screen having a journey dictated symbolically by Rhapsody. They take a conch shell from the ground that is their version of the window. They’re reflecting on the beauty of the union and the lessons learned from the separation. Much briefer than the first character’s journey was, they conclude the journey peacefully and surrenders the shell into the currents to be washed out to sea. The awareness of these events gets communicated to the first character, by his seeing the colorful fireworks from outside window that he had returned to. After Rapsody’s final verse, all the light sources are all multicolored with brilliant hues; the entire video is in black/white except for these few seconds after the final verse dropped. The character is turned away from the now fading splendor and the piano comes back on screen. right after, the “I wont be alright” verse plays while the character is facing away from the light. After turning, he starts walking towards the piano- the song ends. As the voices die out, the scene cuts to cloud sequences. The clouds at the beginning are black, and at the end are white.

Bathtub is pure gospel, underrated non-album track

[@faysam60]

Oh my...No one can accuse Jacob of being a one trick pony. He has upped his game by showing us that his close harmonies can be the back drop of a song and let it speak. Thanks you so much Jacob x

[@tekno679]

that chord change at 3:26 is otherworldly beautiful

[@Relflow]

That's the magic about this song. It's the same chords from the beginning.

[@Narinjazz]

"He Won't Hold You" (feat. Rapsody) He won't hold you Like I do He won't bring out The love in you I been feeling down and out lately Baby since you left me It's been so long since your body held me Won't you come and save me I never was misunderstood baby Since the day you met me But now I'm lost, I'm on my own, I feel so lonely Won't you resurrect me And all across From all around The people make A people sound They dance along The avenue Of what I thought I knew And all across From all around The people make A people sound They dance along The avenue Of what I am to you I won't Be alright I would Be alright I won't Be alright I would Be alright (Rapsody rap) Things rearrange We miss what is not the same I learned the value Of what we had taught by pain Caught the rain, used it to wash my wounds Learned the other side's grass wasn't as green I bloomed, I grew Took separation to get closer to you You didn't let go and I held onto Your arms were my armor, karma cut us loose You learned value I learned truth No one holds me down the way you do But your feelings I let spill over and over and over Just a cover for insecurities I couldn't show the hell I had to face myself, my fears, my feels Now I know there's nothing I can't do I dance in the rain knowing I can swim too Found liberation, found my freedom Where it begins is without you I understand now, my love My only one, without you And all across From all around The people make A people sound They dance along The avenue Of what I thought I knew And all across From all around The people make A people sound They dance along The avenue Of what I am to you I won't Be alright I would Be alright I won't Be alright I would Be alright

The Rhapsody verse 😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@oscargill423]

This is my spiritual song of Jacob's. Back home, I'd often walk along a nearby beach to clear my mind, think about things, enjoy the scenery. There were many days where the weather was what most would define as "disgusting." Overcast, the sand all damp, seaweed and other debris peppering the beach... but it was beautiful nonetheless. I would often have this song playing in my head as I walked, especially on the overcast days. As I write this, it's been nearly eight months since I've walked along it, as I've moved elsewhere. This song reminds me of home, of the beach... and I love it. So much. I hope I can return home someday and walk along the beach again, with this playing as I walk.

[@josephbailey5824]

This song is like 'Time alone with(out) you'

[@ashwin2k]

It’s amazing that I can brag to my grandkids that I was there when this work of art premiered.. Crazy times

[@kirbylouisjeune8462]

I get such a gospel vibe from this❤

[@xebio6]

Check out his "Feel" feat. Lianne La Havas

+ Bathtub

[@AmaZaneChannel]

Just recently starting getting into your music and style!! Love it so much. 😩 Please release a Logic Pro Session on Runnin’ Outta Love with Tori 🙏🏽

[@Furbolg123]

You don't just listen to this, you feel this

[@catherinejareau]

Just saw that Jacob got nominated for the Grammy's this year and decided to check him out. So happy I did that and that I found this song on the way! I don't know why but somehow this song touched me deeply...

[@SolarMumuns]

You might like his tracks 'ocean wide, canyon Deep' and 'hideaway' if you like this

[@clearlygareth]

"he won't hold you, like I do" reminds me of "can anybody find me, somebody to love" (queen) but in a more subtle way, and then the "and all across from all around" section reminds me of something that David gilmour sang on but I can't remember which song, and then I get big gospel church vibes when rapsody comes in and it feels like a sermon. Jacob Collier has done it again what a legend

[@DanielFerreira-ds7lm]

This comment should have more reactions. I was going to comment something similar, but didn't want to just type it knowing someone else could have noticed it too.

[@clearlygareth]

@@DanielFerreira-ds7lm dayum thanks bro

[@チャレンジかあちゃん]

No doubt, Jacob's genius rests on the shoulders of giants. Genius that is nonetheless.

[@gubblfisch350]

The very beginning of somebody to love is nearly the same as the "he won't hold you". The melody is the same and the chords transposed to C go Queen: C G/B Am F9 Jacob: Am G/B C F9 This obviously feels super similar, too.

[@DavidSVega-cu1dv]

This sounds like the kind of song you can wrap an album around. So beautiful.

[@alexcooper3911]

Not at all surprised that this song won a Grammy. Congrats Jacob!!!

[@WaspTech]

Lets Go, 5x Grammy

[@braedonavants]

Congrats on the Grammy Jacob! I knew this song was great from the first listen, and it grew on me from there

[@khanyimahlangu4546]

I can't sleep, because I have been anticipating this release... I decided to start making music to kill time and I've been so inspired. I suggest (even if you aren't a musician) that you do something creative with whatever excitement, anxiousness, happiness, sadness feeling that comes your way right now, and use that to inspire something that you can share with others to further inspire them and let the cycle continue... this is what JC has done for me and its what I'm going to try to do for others...😆 Can't wait for this delicious and nutrious video to go live

[@alecblair11]

wish I could do that in the middle of the night. Spinet Pianos are so loud! 😭 Hope you enjoyed it!

[@Skibidibobobeebop]

We were the first to see his genius. Imagine telling the future generation that. We're so lucky to be alive when it all started. Jacobs blowing up even during quarantine. Great banger Jacob, keep it up.

[@AbhishekRajput-zq7xi]

We meet music , we change. Music meets Jacob, Music Changes . Dude are you god.

[@MrSvavel]

I think that one of the most important things to learn in life is that it’s okay to not be okey and I also think a lot of people need that lesson right now. For me this song and video is a the perfect representation of that lesson and it makes me cry like a little baby. He has done it again.

[@romonabullock1386]

I feel like I'm in a small country church down south. Where the bathroom is outside and the kitchen is bigger than a bathroom and people would congregate and praise in Fellowship together under these types of vibes. Let the Church Say Amen.

[@alesamaa]

my heart cried and somehow also felt like it was being hugged at the same time

[@amanda-vm7wv]

i’d like to make an appreciation post for the series of frames 1:52. i love how perfectly the black negative space fits with the hollow-yet-full sound and the lyrics of the song: although there are people filling space, no quantity of people will ever make the world truly bright again. ‘the people make a people sound / and dance along the avenue,’ but the words and emotions behind those sounds do not matter. the world will only become complete and bright again with that one person that means everything, but until then he ‘won’t be alright’ and the world will remain empty.

[@mukungekwa]

The entire song is a vibe. Something happens to my soul when that "I won't be alright" part hits.. And Rapsody, as usual, delivered!!

[@vikashdenzil]

W O W !

[@faizalnurizal8304]

Congratulations on your grammy jacob

[@macklinroberts7818]

Sometimes, when I listen to music, I feel so jaded, and cut off from how people SHOULD be experiencing music. I don't even have words for how happy I am to have found your music Jacob. So so grateful to feel this way. Truly inspiring. God I hope you come to California when all of this craziness is over!

[@TheRomichou]

and that is how you get another Grammy. Congrats Jacob! you deserve all of it. One of the most creatives and talented musicians across generations.

[@PrismatizedRoblox]
