Jordan Rakei - 'Mind's Eye' (Live Session)

[@j_lynsation]

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

[@wjw1-912]

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

[@naomirhoja6539]

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.

[@rintarouekawa]

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.

[@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.

[@brickevious]

ryan gosling killing it on drums

[@zalamboi]

True 😂

[@timoniksen9857]

LOL accurate

[@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..

[@thexmsjoker]

​@@jrakz please come back to germany (tour!!!) amazing music!

[@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!

[@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. 😀

[@SanchezPCHMusic]

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

[@narsimshenoy]

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

[@laksha988]

jordan: makes masterpiece also jordan: makes masterpiece into a double whammy masterpiece.

[@cristinasarreguialvarez1930]

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

[@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

[@kemzzzz]

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

[@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 😂

[@jashalynnmaddox]

That whole atmosphere was brilliant

[@bunders2780]

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

[@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!

[@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 😍😭

[@arevoir311]

What a phenomenal vocal section.

[@_missmajola]

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

[@musiclover490]

a feature with james blake would be great

[@gugumkhonza6543]

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

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

Jordan, the gift that flows through you brings joy and depth to my soul. Words are not enough to convey what your music does for me. You are such an awesome blessing on this journey😇😇😇

[@akie7414]

So…one of my favs.

[@Kuk_24]

the synths in this live version are so dope

[@N1ckD22]

This is the best version of this song imo. It's great to see all the artist at work as the camera pans around the set, the whole vid top to bottom is a joy to watch and more so to listen.

[@Tossen98]

Praise to Jordan and the entire crew here. Saw the show live in Copenhagen, and everyone on stage just played so damn tight 🔥 as a bedroom guitarist, Imraan blew me far far away!

[@TheKmk0011]

I honestly feel like this is my favorite song ever made. I love it so much its everything ❤❤

This song is perfect for this quarantine time, love it!

[@meggyblue3348]

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. Love from my bathtub in Cambridge, UK xx

[@lh4864]

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!
