I'd love him to release a full 'Mahogany Sessions' album. This and Little Blue are both just pure audio bliss.

[@PaarthGuptaYT]

THIS!!!

[@MahoganySessions]

And we've got two more - the one with MARO and the solo rendition of Make Me Cry!

there are one or two more to be released (they wrote this in the comments of little blue)

This song ABSOLUTELY needed a Mahogany session, it’s STUNNING

we need an entire mahogany run of the entire album. Tori singing her vocals in one take now in that room!

Is this recorded live?

[@dalian1993]

It's really great to hear an English artist singing in English. Not American

[@Kunibert_Knatter]

How in the world did you record that song technically? It was marvellous! But did you really use only the microfones of the camera? No mixing afterwards? I am so stunned.

something about jacob’s creativity is infectious

Yes that is one of the beautiful things about him. He brings out the creativity in others, near and far.

[@LiamDePaux]

"everybody near and far, come together as you are"

It is the light of his soul which shines SO bright. He is waking humans up to our true nature. We are all Jacob, if you know what I mean. In other words, it is the purest form of love and peace.

[@tastefulsubstance]

Most definitely not. The Yardbirds were the first ever "supergroup", and that lineup was infinitely better. You also got Temple Of The Dog, which had Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell. Velvet Revolver with Slash and Scott Weiland, there's Cream, Asia, and countless other line ups that are better than this

The key change is insane

chris thile added so much to this song without even singing a verse. what an absolutely heavenly trio!!

Beautiful song. Anything with Chris Thile is worth paying attention to!

Lol, got goosebumps for reading this as the song had started but he hadn't entered in view yet!

[@PierceTrey]

I love that he is finger picking the Mando at the beginning, I don't think I have seen him do that much

I would have loved an upright bass bottom to some of the chord structure! But as is, it's like....Summer Rain.

[@wackywab8530]

Two heartbeats on the floor Candle-lighting Angels at my door No silver lining I don't masquerade inside the flame But I miss you like summer rain Shadows on the wall Border-lining I thought they'd never fall Worlds colliding I don't catch a wave, my summer rain I can't breathe without you I won't walk away, I feel the pain But I can't bleed without you I get by without you I get high, but I miss you like summer rain Kiss me to my core, paralyzing Hold me where I'm sore, never minding I don't know your name or feel your shame But I miss you like summer rain Don't love you anymore I'm providing You held me down before Never asking Why I'm so afraid to walk your way I'm so free without you I won't catch the rain Won't feel the same I'm alive without you I get by without you I'm so high, but I miss you like summer rain And every night I feel so tired But I can't sleep Without you near I close my eyes I wish you were here But I get by I get by So high But I miss you like summer rain

[@samuelreisart]

This song is one of the prettiest things i've heard in my life

[@jj5jj5]

Chris Thile and Jacob Collier really are the Captain America and Iron Man of my musical universe. Simply two of the greatest musicians I’ve ever heard. Madison Cunningham rounding out the trio is just 😘👌

[@kecaleb]

I'd like to take a moment to say I'm so happy to hear someone I've been listening to for 10+ years or more (Chris Thile), create music with someone I've only had the pleasure of listening to for 5 years, play together. This was an unexpected treat.

[@dculp9284]

Jacob and Chris did a few gigs together a year ago or so at the Blue Note in NYC which emphasized a lot of improv - there are some clips on YT, and the three of them also did a few gigs recently. I do love how talent like this seems to gravitate to each other - like the concert recently with Thile, Billy Strings, and Cory Henry. Just ridiculous amount of virtuosity on one stage.

[@QuestionableQueefs]

I love when that happens

[@m.c.master4622]

@kecaleb, for another delight, search for the earliest recordings of Chris as a youngster. So much presence and confidence.

[@thetxpenguin]

Madison Cunningham is so legit. Saw her live in Austin and everything from her vocals, her guitar playing, and really the whole band was exquisite.

[@dans.3155]

She was fantastic touring with Andrew Bird

[@AdrianMonferrerVazquez]

The musicianship in this video is out of this world. How they listen each other and complement their harmonies with such taste is just amazing. I'm in love.

[@JakeWolven]

I just lost my best friend, but Jacob you are a light in darkness. Thank you for this. This song speaks to my core.

[@st.finnikin]

The environment impeccable. The sound is impeccable. The musician’s impeccable. The writing impeccable. The hearts of the people impeccable.

In conclusion: HEAVEN

[@shawnmckeown]

Casually elevating an already perfect song to an even more incredible performance

That girl’s voice is out of this world.

[@kathryngeorgina4758]

The fact you got Chris Thile to make music with you is an absolute dream.

[@Marklar3]

Thile is amazing. Y'all should check his performances of the JS Bach Violin Partitas.

[@kathryngeorgina4758]

@Marklar3 DUDE! Have done so! He is one of my absolute favourite artists.

[@GumbyGoons]

Well he clearly enjoys collaboration because he's done a lot of it. He's definitely one of my favorite artists.

[@jillianputman5370]

Absolute genius. I will never get enough of the whole new Djesse Vol 4 album. Thank you, Jacob.

[@CharlieMagic_]

The chord progressions pick you up abruptly, but always land you gently. Love it.

[@petergarner]

The only modern songwriter who can take you on a journey with both the words and the harmony. The return to the home key is miraculous. Thank you for this, Jacob.

[@Zuchini4Ever]

Not to mention the journey of his outfits lmao

[@subs4794]

Lol. Hardly. There are many extremely talented artists making music.

[@CalebDiT]

Perhaps this is the only modern songwriter you listen to?

[@cooldebt]

I am wondering if Jacob would collaborate with Fujii Kaze - his songs are lyrically uplifting and musically interesting and his creativity is amazing. Since Kaze is fluent in English, they could easily perform in English. Both of them also dress with a certain colourful flair ;)

[@soundlucky]

I was about to write the exact same thing. I can't stop but leaving everything I do aside when I hear a Jacob Collier song. First time listening to this one here and I just had to keep my eyes on this video and completely lost myself in the music.

This is the first time hearing it on 2 vodka cans I don't think I'll go to the album version soon

[@yoot-digme]

Madison Cunningham's performance at the September show made me cry quite a few times. overall the concert was about clarity, a clear cosmos of music, execution, and voicing, next-level music. unexpectedly for me, this trio provided one of the best concerts in my life. i became a fan of two more musicians after visiting this gig. superb.

[@hoi_boi]

I completely forgot about chris thile, I used to love live from here and even went in person once, glad to see that he's still making amazing music

[@dculp9284]

Just saw him recently solo (with orchestra) at Cornell U, plus twice recently with Nickel Creek. He's been as busy as ever, and I can't recommend the recent NC album highly enough.

[@Dazumu]

It was kinda wild, I started listening to him recently and I adore his cover of "Heart in a Cage".

[@TheAlmightyForehead]

3:42 - took me somewhere... Feel like he's entering an era of his music that is going to transcend what humans have been able to do musically. Madison and Chris were perfect additions. Beautiful

[@pappadanny]

I don't know a better word, as my eyes are filled with tears yet again.... than "Mastered." This man has mastered his art. Watching him over the years was much like watching Neo in the Matrix. Seeing what others knew, where potential was hiding... and then, suddenly, this sense of immortality, but through his expression of song. There are very few people in this world I'll bow to, but this man will see me on my knees if we cross paths. What an absolute treasure.

The beautiful sparsity of this song is like soft drizzle on a twilight evening in summer.

[@JustBenjamins]

Beautiful, truly. Jacob's clothing always reminds me of that old story I heard as a kid from the Old Testament, the coat of many colours. In the story Jacob gives his son Joseph a colourful coat to signify his love for him. I feel like if I Jacob ever has kids, he'd pass down his colourful clothes and it'll be just like that. That'd be cool.

When can we have music like this back on mainstream radio please!!! Just watched Rick Beato discussing how lyrics don't matter and what he is saying is true.
