Jacob Collier's Vision of Music Magic on 'De Avondshow'

[@yaskynemma9220]

Man, Jacob has distilled perfectly what music feels and more, he really knows what it is about, that is why all of his stuff feels special

[@nik_elektrik]

Incredible teacher, musician, human being. ❤

[@ExistentialExperienceMusic]

Wow, Jacob Collier really has a unique way of engaging with music and his audience. His ability to blend education with entertainment is unmatched. That performance was not just a concert; it was a masterclass in music theory and creativity. Truly inspiring!

[@capedmarauder]

Incredible. Going to show this to my kids to explain music to them.

[@TheMrGeek]

At the beginning of the clip: "What an idiotic question!" At the end: "Wow, perfect way of letting the genius run free and give us the most from Jacob Colliers time"

[@macaw2000]

No. Was still a stupid question.

[@Joshsclips]

Music was Jacob's first language. And that's not even really a joke lol he became fluent in music and English at the same time as a toddler

That was actually spot on and he did that from the top of his head ?

Yeah but did you see the top of his head? It's huuuge!

Music fundamentals Rhythm Time Melody Harmony Thanks for the likes

[@Emenut]

For me, tone is more fundamental than Melody and harmony but tone is not a good learning standpoint for a two minute explanation

[@aliasreco]

The horrible thing is, I miss substance in Jacobs music. A real solid message. It's not there, it's just a kid playing. I want something more...

[@imaniford119]

I get this. This is what people have been trying to say, but you nailed it. I still really like him and what he is doing because it's nice to hear him play. I understand what you are saying, though, and think that's why I am not obsessed with him. But music heads love what he does musically, not necessarily emotionally. A bunch of his songs are deep feeling, though.

[@Proghead88]

You might be dismissing the substance in his music just because it does come from someone being childlike. There is nothing wrong or lacking message from someone who has that as the core of their creativity. The most liberated people are basically just kids playing. He's also got an insanely deep range of influences and stories from his life and the many people he's met, especially since he has been abnormally thoughtful about life and everything in it from such a young age. Dismissing his passion and very clear messages he expresses through the lyrics and very explicitly and in a detailed manner in interviews, while ignoring how much he is an "aged soul" with a lot of wisdom for anyone of any age, says more about your emotional maturity than your opinion of how horrible it is that he has no message,

[@Proghead88]

@@imaniford119 tons of people are emotionally moved by his music. Whether you are a musician or not, the reason he attracts die hard fans to sell out shows constantly and have tons of artists of all styles enjoy working with him is because they connect emotionally to his ideas and passion. You can speak for yourself without assuming that millions of people just love him because of what he does... musically? I'm not sure if you really understand what you're trying to say. Responding strongly to music includes responding strongly in emotional ways, inherently. There is an infinite range of emotions to feel in his music and if you're too distracted by what you think the point of it is versus what he is trying to help you feel, you are guaranteed to miss out. You can also realize that the most musically experienced people will connect to the layers of emotion on more levels, and all of this is additive, not a compromise or trade-off between "feel" and "technique". That's such a cartoonish way to listen for meaning in music. Do you think Quincy Jones idolized Jacob because he was a good musician only? These people feel things intensely, on many levels for many reasons, and many of those reasons are accessible to anyone, musician or not. Up to you to notice.

[@leandrusi4533]

why you always ask him to talk instead of playing 🙄

[@kauebelu3306]

Though it’s still brilliant, he is also a great thinker, teacher, speaker! Totally outside the box

[@leandrusi4533]

@@kauebelu3306 I find it super boring, I rather hear him just make music

[@positivecommenter1]

Well, there are many many many videos of him making music, and this is just one of him talking🙂. If you don't like it, then just go to another video. I'm sure you'll find one

[@albertosierraalta3223]

Jacob is one of the few musicians where is almost as interesting to hear him speak as to hear him play. The way he thinks about music is pretty unique and profound
