Jacob Collier's most beautiful few seconds

[guesswilsey]

you know your shit's fire when you make a classical musician do the stank face

[prastee]

If I was to be reincarnated as a chord progression, this is THE chord progression I want to be.

[magnusgro]

These chords are absolutely insane, but the voice leading somehow makes it work

[niokat]

00:15 The three people at the back moved exactly in-sync with the progression. What is this sorcery?

[rafaelpalma]

She literally melted. Welp. We were with you.

[kazigkaasje]

He literally woke 3 people up with that progression at 0:16

[wanderingmonkvinyl]

Violinist's reaction at 0:16 says it all.

[ianmoore]

When I first heard this it was like a literal burst of sunshine in my soul. That specific progression after his first lyric. Thanks for isolating this lol

[OdaKa]

I love how Jacob Collier took contemporary black church piano and made it pop

[reev]

Jacob's reaction makes me wonder if the chord he played when he tilted his head was not on purpose.

[chloeanne]

Those chords make me want to curl up and take a nap with a pet, and I don’t even have a pet

[AngguSingsit]

He played something he shouldn't have and then made it sound right. What a genius.

[amogsman]

I feel like he actually did goof up the chord that was originally supposed to go there but he just improvised like the legend he is

[samuelarizmendi]

0:11 Even that guy on the top left corner woke up shook

[krimson_flux]

People studying music are foaming at the mouth right now

[julio]

You notice how Jacob and the violinist were both shook at 0:16, but I think it's solely because it was a chord he wasn't supposed to play. Not to say that the violinist wasn't impressed, but just an observation.

[capedmarauder]

I cannot count the amount of times Jacob Collier has made me cry by playing beautiful harmonies.

[Legominder]

That's the thing about true music of the moment: You are in a flow, slightly unconscious, then play something "wrong", then have to put it into context. Jacob does it at its best🥰

[jaepiano]

I’m so glad you transcribed it, i would rewatch this part over and over for the chords but mostly to watch her react to his playing. So heartwarming, thank you again!!

[secretreleases]

I think it's amazing how the violinist is recognizing (and appreciating) what is happening - in real time! Like, you can see her reaction to every chord immediately. All the way from normal/used to hear, then surprised, impressed, even amused, to a chuckle, because it's musically so amazing. All in a matter of seconds.
