@@EpiCuber7 As a mental health worker (and also someone trying to take care of my own) it was really unexpected to hear this from him too, and it's great how this can make sense. Depression is about taking our own thoughts as they were concrete solid, which makes us feel stucked in our own corner, as he also said any musician or creative being wouldn't like to be. I mean we all know there's too much bullshit we taught ourselves often like "oh, that's a sad thing, it's better not to think about it", because there are real life challenges that we just can't overcome by our own thoughts alone (such as a pandemic for example). Also there's all that stuff about mindset, which I think it's a very individualistic approach (in a bad sense) and often it's an overvaluated thing, for the same reasons above. But having said that, we can always think diferently if we like to, not getting used to criticize our own ideas, and there's really some magical about it - we may be feeling stucked right now but things can change and it's awesome when we allow ourselves to keep that in mind.

And kills it.

What Jacob told about the Opera is what I learned at theatre school. When you say something sad and then also act sad, that is called: red on red. (painting the red roses red). And red on red is flat. It pushes the emotion too much and gives nothing more than just sadness. But when you say your sad lines happy, or angry, or something else contrary to the sad emotion, it gives an edge. The viewer can feel that there is more to the scene than the happy emotion that is shown, because the actor is telling al these sad things. It makes you think: can't the actor show sad emotions? is he trying to pretend everything is fine? Is he fighting his emotions? what is going on? Rather than thinking: oh this is just a sad scene. I find it very interesting to see that Jacob is using this technique in music. I never realized that that was also possible!

@gabrielmiller9517

Most likely is like what Elon Musk described about his mind, a river of never ending ideas. And they are not lying

Absolute genius. Only negative critique I have for Jacob is that he can sometimes become a victim of his own creativity, in the sense that he doesn’t often utilize negative space in his music. Often I feel that he tends to drown in that giant smorgasbord of layers, but that’s how he rolls, and it’s been a very successful approach for him. There’s beauty in simplicity too, and I feel that he has slept on that concept a bit. Even this example here, “Hey Jude”. He said that if he were given the time, he would “add 500 layers” to it. I’m sure we would be in awe of it, and it would be amazing to hear a run or 2 of it. But in the end, I’m gonna go back to the original version and enjoy the simplicity and power of the original. One aspect that makes negative space so important in music is that it leaves the mind of the listener ample opportunity to fill in the gaps with its own musical musings, and it is almost like the listener is an active participant of the creation while listening to it, if that makes sense...An example is to listen to an old blues master working his magic on an old scratchy recording: one man, a couple of chords, and the truth...

I completely agree with your comment. But the way I see it is that he has consciously taken this route of painting with all the colors and using all techniques, however if you give him some time, I’m convinced he will evolve to something else. He is only 26, and understands the power of the sound. The day that he decides and make a conscious choice to play with the silence, I will listen him even more carefully.

I would say some people like simplicity and others like complexity. I think in mbti terms he is an ENFP and their minds are racing very fast and they are bored quickly. They lead with extroverted intuition, which is like instant, externally oriented pattern recognition. This helpts to quickly predict things. A way to feed that mind, is to give it something to digest. So complexity is more entertaining to these people than simplicity. (I think Ni, introverted intuition, likes simplicity) Also, I've never felt interested listening to some old bluesmaster with a couple of chords and the truth, as it would bores me to death in a moment.

Thanks Jacob... I really appreciate your perspective about all of this 😊
