There's nothing quite like listening to a JC song for the first time.

[ran.obenita]

The end part let the fall down never fails to make me cry

[edwardkenaway]

I'm a metal head for life but sometimes you realize that it's time to chill out for a bit

[caroxoxo]

[lennontroppo]

the world is becoming collier and collier

"Ugh, I can't listen to this yet. I have to wait until I go home to use my good headphones."

[jonaspasche]

Sometimes I'm a bit hesitant clicking the play button on a J. C. song because I already know that it's going to touch my heart at levels rarely experienced, and I fear starting to silently cry a bit because of the beauty of these sounds. Then I click play. Then I start feeling it. Then I silently cry a little. And it's okay. Thanks, Jacob.

The world has seen thousands and thousands of years. Yet, we are all alive now, at the same time as Jacob and this lit music. What joy, fortune, and blessing. Bois we out here vibin hard

[zhukov-musician]

How can music filled with such kindness, light and humanity can be disliked?

[TheDigitalrunner]

I suffer from anxiety and was taking a bit of a nervous turn. This came on and grounded me back to earth. Really relaxing and a joy to listen to.
Thank you, Jacob

[DavidBennettPiano]

4:46 Sounds like a Bill Wurtz vibe and now all I want is a Jacob Collier/Bill Wurtz collab!!!

[EnochThornock]

Jacob just creates the music he wants to. And that is what he wants other musicians to do. If music is stressing you out or you feel like you need to practice like crazy, try and relax. Play what you love. Practice what you love. That's where the best music comes from. 💚

[nostalgia_junkie]

i don't know that i have a celtic ounce of blood in my body, but that intro gave me the most distinct feeling that i can't explain

[kevinrusche]

Really amazing - no way to find a genre in all this - just really, really, really great, complicated yet simple and sweet wonderful MUSIC. Haven't felt this way about an album since Songs in the Key of Life in 1978. I wore it out and expect that I will 'wear out' Djesse. LOVE the harmonies and all the instruments, sounds, complicated AND I agree with the comment below - you upload faster than anyone can listen and take it in! Thank goodness for the technology that allows you to 'get it all out' --- Our treat!

This was the first Jacob Collier song I had ever heard. I was sitting in a park in North London, not too far from where Jacob lives, with my girlfriend.

Even though his genius is clearly evident in this song I was never to know how amazing he actually was. The moment at 3:35 almost brought me to tears instantly and then at 4:08 I remember smiling so much, laughing with my girlfriend because of how amazing that moment was.

I will never be able to relive that moment but everytime I come back to this album, I always feel exactly how I felt when I first heard it. And for that I'm eternally grateful. ❤️ Thank you Jacob

Verse 1]
Sky above
What are you dreaming of?
Seems like you're all alone
Do you feel free?

[Verse 2]
I can see
More than is clear to me
So come one and open me
Let me feel free

[Interlude]
So open up your care
And leave it everywhere
And every now and then (Every now and then)
You think of home again (Home again)
Home was always waiting for you

[Bridge]
I don't wanna start this all alone to sing
And sing it all away
Gonna stay [?]
I'm a gonna blow the winds of change
I'll never go astray
Gonna stay [?]
Gonna stay [?]
I don't wanna start this all alone to sing
And sing it all away
Gonna stay [?]
I'm a gonna blow the winds of change
I'll never go astray
Gonna stay [?]
Gonna stay [?]
(One, two, three, four)

This music helps me thru my grieving process of my beloved Mother! I listen to all songs Jacob Collier. I hear him bless our ears in Detroit in May I will have plenty tissues with me. Thx you Jacob... Rest in Comfort Mom 2-19-19

My first time going to Europe, I was listening to this song (album) as I was looking out from my window from the airplane watching the Irish sunrise...unbelievably beautiful.

[dancerarinz]

When first listening to this last night, when that fast part kicked, I felt the happiest feelings I've felt in a long time. This is one of my favorite albums to date.

[sharper]

Man, I m going through a tough time personally. And I played this track and immediately put me in a peaceful mode I hadn’t had in a very long time. I thank God for you and your music. You have no clue..
