Jordan's drums are always SO interesting. It doesn't seem like his musical process is clockwork at all. Never predictable. so many mainstream artists have been making the exact same ONE song just repackaged with a slight variation in the instrumental over and over again for years. Jordan gives us something original sounding and heartfelt. Every single solitary time.

[@EduAlexification]

Jim Macrae is your man on the drums. He produces Jordan's works, maybe that's why those rythms are so frequently in his song. Great vibe

[@bwe2272]

YESSSSSSSSS!! THIS IS THE EVER LOVING TRUTH!!

[@mazvita18]

such a true statement! never change jordan.

[@ThePrince1955]

Few people notice this interesting fact. It comes from having an aptitude for odd time signatures and counterpoint rhythms. Good call Jayln. I'm just starting to get to know about him. I love the song 'Goodbys' on his Wall Flower CD.

[@monikaweiss5946]

you are so right i mean i love his drums and him the most in that band, good comment man

[@brickevious]

If I’ve said it once I’ve said it 1000 times I freaking love Jordan Rakei he’s a breath of fresh air

[@ThePrince1955]

Totally agree!!!

[@roxy1522]

Soul cleansing music.

[@emmp6799]

For those of you not using a set of decent headphones .... You missed an eargasm. Jordan never fails anyway but this is also very nicely miced and mixed. Props to the whole ensemble.

[@hafidiamine]

Great parenting, is when your little kid, 20 years from now, asks if you know an artist from the old days called Jordan Rakei, My life would be compete

[@moontaro1]

Sorry for my poor English,I am japanese listener. I love this song. I listen to it almost every day. Especially, the piano phrases. It's simple but deep, and I play it so much that I tend to get into the habit of playing it when I'm playing the piano. It's just my own imagination, but I feel like this phrase could have been created by Mr. Jordan when he was a child playing the piano at random. I thought it was such a refined, pure, and divine phrase.

[@DaveDEF82]

Not gonna lie: The performance of this song in Hamburg was even more captivating. It just seems like Jordan has yet to reach his ceiling and is constantly evolving. I have seen him play three times in Hamburg already and each time it is a strong candidate for my favorite concert of the year.

[@jrakz]

Ah cheers. Thanks a lot :)

[@binggeli]

@@jrakz The same goes for your past couple of concerts in Copenhagen. The band killed it! And the funk so deep! Loved the live versions of your songs . Loved the harmonics and electronica feel also.

[@princess28801]

How the Hell did i miss that!!!!!!!!!!!!!???????? iI feel deeply hurt that I wasn't there! *weeping!* Glad it was just as amazing as i would Picture it..

[@tomrichards1756]

completely agree. saw the man himself and his wonderful band in Manchester on Friday, and it was just breathtaking from the very first second to the very last. outstanding performance!

[@narsimshenoy]

Jordan Rakei is god. But whoever shot the video... HOLY SHIT. ABSOLUTELY PERFECT.

[@lincolngumede1279]

What a Musical Roller Coaster.

[@KianiDell]

So much talent in one video.

[@PedritoDeSanchez]

Absolutely brilliant composition from Jordan! He truly is one of the UK's best musicians, like it or not! Proud to be an Englishman when we got talent like this! Team Rakei all the way!

[@iambossa]

Sorry to disappoint you but Jordan Rakei is a New Zealand-Australian artist. 😀

[@TheMceeze]

He sings out of London so that's good enough for me, he came to the big smoke 😊

[@kemzzzz]

hearing this man play is an eargasm every time. out of body experience. if you haven’t seen him live you need to.

[@jashalynnmaddox]

That whole atmosphere was brilliant

[@Daniel-yz3zf]

I heard you play this in a record store live in Brighton and cried through the whole thing man. Never had such an experience before! Your voice and music takes me to beautiful places.

[@roxy1522]

I would 100% do the same, i wouldnt be able to stop the tears 😂

[@bunders2780]

Thanks to BBC radio 6 for introducing me this top artist. Catchy bright music,

[@arevoir311]

This Live version has just made us love Jordan even more.

[@Umar____]

2:40 When those vocals HIT!.... SHEEEEESH

[@_missmajola]

I'm glad you decided to move to the UK. The US would've ruined this talent. You're a blessing

[@iamdiamusic]

this deserves 100M+ views after watching this for almost a year, i'm still amazed by the musicality of this group. the rhythm and groove is just amazing. the drums, the choir the guitar fills.... too nice to be true boy. feeling it 100% rn

[@garanuk]

Mind blown. This is a truly epic journey from a group of very talented musicians. Thanks to BBC Radio 6 for introducing me to this tune. Would love to see their reactions after they finished. Bet there were smiles all round!

[@gugumkhonza6543]

You could listen to you all day, and not get tired, you’re voice soothing stunning

[@mylesthered3614]

Getting something new from jordan is seriously like feeding a crack addiction😭

[@trueblue2892]

I LITERALLY have listened to Jordan every day since I discovered the beauty that is this man’s voice and creativity (Lucid is my fav song of his so far) Also, i can’t forget to give credit to the vocalists, they masterfully created the illusion of one angelic multi-dimensional voice 😍😭

[@oodlesofhoes]

The percussion on this is amazing. Always in my brain...

[@Snooooooooooopy]

Gorgeous in every way.

[@Kuk_24]

the synths in this live version are so dope

[@litlithmuniii]

one of the best voices I've ever heard in my life. a slice of heaven perhaps..

My favorite part is when the choir singers are following the loop with their hands, 3'15" to 3'45" ❤ lovely!!

Ah man. This is my absolute favourite bath time track. I love jamming along to all the harmony weaves. This is one of the most perfect examples of a band being completely in sync with one another. Rehearsed hard and then allowed to just open up and flow in performance. To this degree, it's just Music Magic. Thanks guys. It's the gift that keeps on giving.

I didn't think I could love this song (or Jordan) anymore than I already do, but I was clearly mistaken. I've seen some live performances that sounded like pure cacophony so it's a testament to Jordan's artistry and this amazing crew of musicians that this live version sounds so pristine and harmonious. I really hope you put this version on Spotify or any live version of your songs from Origin, and I can't wait to see you again in Toronto next month!
