Jacob Collier - Hyperballad (Björk cover) | Mahogany Session

Музыка

We spent a day in September with Jacob at the Heritage & Arts Centre in East London to celebrate the upcoming release of Djesse Vol. 4. At the end of an incredible day, we had time for a single take before we wrapped - and Jacob delivered this completely improvised rendition of the Björk classic, Hyperballad.
We managed to capture three incredible moments; Little Blue (where Jacob was joined by an audience choir of fans), Summer Rain featuring Madison Cunningham and Chris Thile, and this stunning Björk cover.
Dive upon the other two from the day here:

When you live with a song you love for years and grow up with it, you sometimes carry that old lens of looking at the song with you. Hearing a new version, especially as tasteful as this one, brings out a different or new way of seeing or feeling those lyrics.

    ​@@JohnDoe-ns8ho I think the way they present the chaos is very different. Bjork is well aware she is recording in a pop music genre, even collaborated with Nellee Hooper, maybe the most popular dance/pop producers of the late 80s and 90s. Jacob's goes more astray, more emphasis on the lyrics singing in different directions and introduces some piano to accompany it. There is a kind of misunderstanding of the chaotic in art, is the artist just presenting the chaotic or organizing and arranging it for the audience. I could go deep into Jung, but avoid that, its kind of remarkable the similarities but also the differences to achieve the same goal.

    Phenomenal songwriting. I know Björk intended something different - but I’ve always interpreted the song to be about the kind of therapy we do on our own to be healthy in relationships. Quite literally, I wake early every morning, go for a walk to pray, and self-reflect. Lots of personal challenge and development happens. Then, I’m ready for the day and to offer the best of myself to my family and friends.

I would however also be thrilled with an album of piano and voice covers of songs Jacob loves, or an album of Bjork covers. These mahogany sessions are magical. If he did all three of these takes in one day (same clothing) it’s an incredible achievement.

    Simply astonishing… it’s been a sh*t day, took my 90 year old mother and her canine friend of the last 16 years Lily to the vet this evening. Sadly it was for Lily to be put to sleep, she was deaf and blind and incontinent and we couldn’t let her suffer anymore , the vet gave her lots of treats and I held her in my arms as she gently passed… my mum is very old school and doesn’t really show her emotions, so I drove her home, walked her to her door and handed her Lily’s collar and lead and left. I am now sat in the dark in my garden listening to this for the 5th time in a row bawling my eyes out, I’m so heartbroken,..another friend is gone another loyal unquestioning companion has exited our lives… and I know my mum is lying in her bed just as heartbroken, crying where no one else can see… Goodbye Lilydog, we love you and miss you terribly

    The worst parts of me want to be jealous of Jacob and his immense wealth of talent. I would give up everything I had to have that. I just can't be jealous, though. When I hear music like this - when I feel a performance like this - yes, of course, I wish that could be me, but the jealousy washes away. I am overcome with the sheer beauty. I swim in its depths. For a moment, I am truly free. That is the true gift here. This allows me to be the best version of me and what is just so wonderful about that is that this song is just so incredibly human. It makes me so glad to be alive.

    There used to be a bootleg video of him covering this song at a concert that has since disappeared. I'm grateful that we have an officially sanctioned record of his take on the song now. The other performance had an eerie use of bitonality at "will my eyes be closed or open" that I will always miss though, now that it's gone. There's something melancholy about the ephemeral nature of improvisation.

    Don't you think it's at least a little disingenuous that the video's description calls this "completely improvised" then?

    @@JoshAntes99 What, because this isn't the first time he had covered the song? If anything, maybe the "completely" part doesn't make sense by virtue of the fact that it's a cover in the first place, but I think calling it "improvised" falls within typical usage of that word. It's uncontroversial to describe the process of spontaneously layering new ideas on top of an established structure that happens in jazz as improvisation, and what's happening here is something like that. For what it's worth, this rendition and the other one I'm thinking of have some broad strokes in common, but probably not much overlap in the details. Different chord voicings and substitutions, different textural figurations, different ornaments to or wholesale departures from the original song's melody, etc.

    It's quite literally the opposite of sonder. In fact, you kinda just made me able to articulate that thought. It is the opposite of sonder, and he simply does not understand not only what people love about these songs he covers but also the emotions conveyed in these songs. It was apparent with Danny Boy and HIde And Seek but it's just totally laid bare here. There are humans out there, who wrote the words and melodies for those words, "But come ye back when summer's in the meadow, Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow, It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow, Oh, Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so" and, "Blood and tears They were here first Mm, what'd you say? Mm, that you only meant well Well of course you did... ... ...Ransom notes keep falling out your mouth Mid-sweet talk, newspaper word cutouts Speak no feeling, no, I don't believe you You don't care a bit, you don't care a bit" and the best one yet, "I Imagine what my body would sound like slamming against those rocks And when it lands Will my eyes be closed or open?" Actual humans with complex inner lives and unbearable emotions that could only find an outlet in song, wrote those lyrics and melodies for those lyrics and Collier simply doesn't understand any of it on any level.

    @@jpizzleforizzle You know, for a second I legitimately forgot this was YouToob and I legitimately forgot that I was gonna get the dumbest possible reply. Nevertheless. Nobody implied anything about gatekeeping and what you're allowed to like and dislike, songs or beans or whatever. I was simply saying it doesn't make sense, and if Hyperballad actually is one of your favorite songs you should probably know why it doesn't make sense. And I was simply hoping somebody would help it make sense. It's like this: people like pizza. People like ice cream. People like both. But nobody has ever said "man I love pizza and this cookie dough ice cream does it so much justice" because that would sound crazy. Even though cookie dough ice cream is great. And I gotta say, I didn't expect such a hostile and dare I say, uncollieresque reaction.

    @@JohnDoe-ns8ho music is subjective. You don't have to like Collier's take on the song, but you also don't have a right, per se, to tell someone else they should or shouldn't enjoy it. I mean, you're essentially making a "no true scottsman" argument here. So, fwiw, I think you're the one handing out dumb comments today.

Now, I see and feel this again and I see and feel another side of this all over again in another way, not only listening to the experience of Jacob's incredible voice, but also feeling more messages within this piece as it is, as it was written.

    It occurs to me, watching the view count, that there are strangers out there watching this at the same time as me. The implications of which speak for themselves, I think, if you know the lyrics to this song. Bjork's strange story isn't so strange at all, is it? It turns out there are a lot of people with brains and hearts just like yours, sharing many of your thoughts and feelings.

Jacob did both, in a single take + he wrote the arrangement, actually improvised it on the spot!

I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you I go through all this Before you wake up So I can feel happier To be safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you Safe up here with you (Buenos días Sophia)❤️
