[@jacobcollier]

Gentlemen - I am lost for words. This is just breathtaking. I am so honoured… Absolutely astounding work! Thank you both so, so much for sharing this. Happy Christmas!

[@DavidDesimpelaere]

Dear Jacob, Thank you very much for your kind words! Erik and myself wish you a very happy Christmas!

[@siphovice]

How the humility of Jacob to comment on his cover. I really respect him

[@patcalderontello5581]

Nah man you are the best human

[@JuneLee]

so hauntingly beautiful...

[@humblemacron8522]

@JuneLee glad you found this one! On another note, I wonder if you’d ever transpose World O World from the new album, working with Jacob. I’d be really interested to find out the actual voicings in the choir.

[@eliseeng1709]

Nothing to say but "wow." Both instruments used to their fullest to create this beautifully executed masterpiece. Bravo!

[@HarmoniChris]

This was stunning. Thank you.

[@marabeligni5043]

Love the piano at 5:29 and how it seques into a that great feeling of movement and urgency. This is a lovely arrangement for one of Colliers best pieces. It always manages to move me.

[@tootstootsful]

Utterly beautiful..from the very beginning to the end. Thank you for sharing.

[@kitsubi11]

I am so happy i came across this, very beautiful! there is so much i could say but WOW

[@delatierranicolas]

So glad you guys decided to work on this piece by Jacob Collier, I think he will be ravished with joyful enthusiasm.

[@mattstalker4084]

My word. This is stunning. Technical virtuosity from you both, and such a wonderful, sophisticated arrangement. It feels much older than it is, as a piece. So swooning and decadent. And obvs being Collier, the harmony is deliciously complex. So much so that the diatonic ascending chords from @4:38 feel like a different kind of satisfying treat! Thank you

[@may20kim]

So beautiful. Thanks for both of you and Jacob ✨🤍💛🩵

Artful in embellishment and emotional. Great music warrants adaptations! I’m misty-eyed.

早上靜靜地聽，竟憶起久違的、失去聯繫的「自己」, the "You" I missed. Appreciation from TAIWAN.

[@paulshannon7303]

Those glissandos sound like whale song! How do you create them? Is it like harmonics on the guitar?

[@DavidDesimpelaere]

Hi Paul, The harmonics I play are all artificial harmonics. This means you shorten the vibrating string length with your thumb and at the same time you use your 3rd or 2nd finger to play a harmonic. Playing a glissando downwards, without changing the position of your hand, creates the whale-effect. Because the interval created by your hand gets smaller the lower you slide, the frequency of the note/harmonic changes suddenly. A little technical explanation😊, Best regards David

[@TKSnatch]

@@DavidDesimpelaere This is great insight, thanks!

[@deja75m]

Control of artificial harmonics separates the men from the boys.

[@hydro0___]

This is incredible, great job!! Is there any way to obtain the sheet music maybe?
