I Heard You Singing (feat. Becca Stevens & Chris Thile) - Jacob Collier [OFFICIAL AUDIO]

“I Heard You Singing (feat. Becca Stevens & Chris Thile)” by Jacob Collier [OFFICIAL AUDIO] from Djesse Vol. 2

Becca Stevens is one of my closest musical companions on the planet... I knew I wanted to have her sprinkle her magic on Dj2, but I wasn’t exactly sure how until we sat in a little room in NYC last year and composed and recorded this song together overnight... a lullaby in 5! The vocals were recorded live together, side my side. When we had finished the sun was fully up!

Chris Thile is potentially the world’s best musician. I mean... the amount I have been thrilled by him for the last ten years knows no bounds... from Bach to Punch Brothers and back again. We met for the first time last year and he agreed to decorate the middle section of this with his magnificence. I almost cried the first time I heard it when he sent it over. He is just so special.

I feel like everyone who likes Jacob have at least a decent musical knowledge and then there is me.... Trying to understand why his music makes me feel so grateful for music

[larko]

I love how the comments in Jacob's songs are either generally "This is a very beautiful song. It makes me cry/happy" etc, OR musicians debating and dissecting it into bits.

Everything little thing he does is magic 😜

[marcellosedita]

I heard you singing underneath the moon
Sleepyhead
Go to bed
I hear your footsteps walkin' by my room
I'm okay, here to stay

[Verse 2]
I saw you making angels in the snow
Late at night
Wonder why
I see you laughing till morning looking all aglow
Meant to be
You and me

[Verse 3]
Said all along you wanted to be free
Don't you cry
Learn to fly
I know you're ready for the light to see
Close your eyes
Say goodnight
Count to three
Follow me

[Bridge]
Follow me, fall in love
Follow me, fall in love
Follow me my love
Follow me, fall in love
Follow me, fall in love
Whatcha say, my love?
Follow me, fall in love
Follow me, fall in love
Follow me in love
Follow me, fall in love
Follow me, fall in love
Whatcha say, my love?
Follow me

[Verse 4]
All of your love
Is rocking me to sleep
Endlessly, cradle me
I'll catch you when you
Fall into a dream
Follow me, count to three
Say goodnight, close your eyes
You and me are meant to be
So go to bed, you sleepyhead

Jacob just earned a million respect points for collating with my favorite musician on this earth, Chris Thile!

[daveaustin]

Such a natural sounding 5/4 composition

[Skitterhawk]

Jacob makes me proud to be associated with music...

[byoulou_maolang]

reminds me something that i left in my childhood ...

[uritibon]

Just like in Chopin and Tschaikovsky - you'll never notice 5/4 is an "unusual" rhythm unless someone points it out.

[danielmccarther]

ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS IVE EVER HEARD EASY!!

[daviddieffenderfer]

2:17 one of my favorite moments in music

[cesarsaura]

That middle section is one of my very top spots in the album. Magical

[carlpowell]

The melody and the key changes are perfect

[mikoparsonius]

Thanks Jacob and Becca and Chris - and all the wonderful musicians you collaborate with. So glad to be able to share your journey, albeit from my sofa !!

[aauuddrreeee]

There's something so simple yet so complex about this song, I love it. I've been listening to this song on loop <3

[HyraxEC]

A tasteful addition to the classical repertoire of the worlds’ children’s songbook! Translate and go, Jacob!

[GraceKanedesign]

This for me, in this particular listening, points to embodied awareness - self- remembering the eternal dance of supple & generous love we are.
