There will be another masterpiece

[Verse 1] The time has come for me to tell you All  the things I really feel about you 'Cause  lately time's been moving on And every day we seem to grow a little older, too The more I think of you the less I seem To  know the way I feel about you And  all I think is all I know And all I know is all I want to think about is you [Verse 2] I  used to think I knew it all And that the love you gave was mine for keeping I guess I cared too much for you back then To see the simple magic of it all I  long to see the things we saw When we were young and could not see so clearly When all the world was just a blur of coloured lines That I'd trace most sincerely back to you [Pre-Chorus] And you'd say [Chorus] "Time to rest your weary head Take your wings and go to bed I know you want to know it all, my darling" And I'd say "Set me down and rock me Rock me to sleep" [Verse 3] I see the sparkle in your eyes You say I'm beautiful and I believe you And I will never feel more beautiful Than when I'm wide awake beside you I'll wander far and wide and wonder How it feels to fall in love with someone Without the need to show her everything I've learnt About the world since you've been gone [Pre-Chorus] And you'd say [Chorus] "Time to rest your weary head Take your wings and go to bed I know you want to show it all, my darling" And I'd say "Set me down and rock me Rock me to sleep" [Verse 4] There was a time it seemed the time itself Was free and would go on forever Wanted to cling to it but now I see Its fading is its greatest treasure, ooh [Pre-Chorus] And you would say [Chorus] "Time to rest my weary head Take my wings and go to bed I know you want to feel it all, my darling" And I'd say "Sit me down and rock me, oh Sit me down and rock me, oh darling Sit me down and rock me Rock me to sleep"

I think you can all agree he show passion through his music, when he speaks and explain everything, it is just beautiful the amount of love he has for what he does.

I'm going to go ahead and say that this is probably the most tragically beautiful song I have heard in a long time...it has a sort of longing bittersweet-ness somewhere between a broken heart and a heart being put back together again, sort of helpless and lost but also whistful and certain and it's just so beautiful

He mentioned the concept in a show. The concept is Djesse symbolises a certain space (a little like the universe if you’re into science). Volume 1 is this vast open space with large sounds and broad orchestral music. Volume 2 is where this space shrinks down into a smaller volume, and by doing this heats up a little, and everything becomes cozier and more tranquil for Volume 2. The space continues shrinking until it’s compressed into a single point of everything packed together madly. That’s where Volume 3 is found. I’m pretty sure Jacob said something along the lines of “it gets real crazy in there”. Finally, Volume 4 is a grand re-expansion of this space, growing out again, and I expect it’ll be a slight reflection on the past 3 volumes also. Hope this helped, apologies if I’ve got anything wrong!

I had been talking to this girl since March 2019 and our feelings towards each other fluctuated up until early December. I had just broken up with a girlfriend of a month and so the girl I had been talking to and I started talking again. This song randomly popped up in my recommended and I couldn't think of anyone else but her. I started absolutely bawling my eyes out and in that moment I knew that she was the one and this whole time I had been blind to her affection towards me. This is now our song and we're celebrating 3 months next week. :)

Good thing you realized💗

For my money, the most important influence behind this stunning masterpiece is the work of Joni Mitchell. The special guitar tuning. The vulnerable confessionality, new for Jacob. The craft. There are probably many ways to take this lyric, but for me the key is in the chorus, sung by and to a person who truly, really sees you, sees that those wings need rest and comfort from the effort of wanting to feel, to know, it all. That sounds like the Jacob I hear when I listen to his music.

My thoughts exactly ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I'm so thankful with the universe, by the fact i'm alive in the same time that Jacob wrote this beautiful songs. It felt like a really personal song, so warm, wonderful and perfect. I don't believe that enough amount of words in this or any other lenguage can describe the emotions and thoughts that a song of this kind can bring to your( and mine too) soul, mind and heart. Thank you Jacob. You are magic and music.

Me and someone I cared for very deeply parted ways about a month ago. It’s made me very unsure of what the future holds or if I’ll even have a future worth living. You become so connected to the person you love that not having them around can make you feel lost, like the only thing you cared about is gone. This song makes me rethink that train of thought, because in it’s helplessness and tragedy, it’s unmistakably beautiful. With a sunset there must be a sunrise, when night comes it means day is right around the corner, although it may be dark now the light will soon come. There is always hope no matter how hopeless you feel. Whether you’ve lost somebody, been through a breakup, or just feel lost, there will always come a day when you feel better.

i wish jacob would talk more about his lyrics writing process. because, besides being a musical genius, his lyrics are very deep and beautiful. this is a masterpiece.

This feels a bit like finding safe harbor in a utopia that rejects the rules of the past or the shackles of the present and instead embraces the uninhibited joy of creation and harmony instead of destruction and discord. It is medicine for a weary head in need of relief. A wonderful gift.

My go-to-song whenever I feel down or tired with everything. It feels like he's telling me that everything will get better, and rocking me to sleep. I feel so warm and cozy after listening to this. Jacob, I absolutely admire your pieces, and also you as a whole human being. You just pour joy to my life every day, ever since I discovered you.

What a poignant way to end this album. Honestly one of the most simplistically beautiful songs I have ever heard. The whole album is stellar, but this stood out to me.

This is old but I'm sorry for your loss.. I still grieve my beloved cat Quinn of 8 years since he passed in early February. I listened to this song just after and so it always makes me think of him. I remember just the day before I had picked him up and placed him on my chest with his head under my chin and he fell asleep on me. I didn't know he would be gone forever the next day. I was so obsessed with him and he was all I'd talk about every day 😭 I buried him as well, and I like to play this song looking at his burial, which is under the tree he used to hide under. Part of me wishes I wasn't there when he was put down, but I felt like I needed to be there with him to the very end.

That is some serious Zen you've got going on there.

"I'll wander far and wide and wonder How it feels to fall in love with someone Without the need to show her everything I've learnt About the world since you've been gone" God, that hits close to home. This may be the most tragically beautiful song I've ever heard. Usually I can get through stuff, but I can never get through this song when it comes on at the end of the album.

Legends say he’s still standing there...

This year, in April, someone I fell in love with loved me too, for the first time in my life. While we chatted, I usually listened to this song. It made me feel so much along with how we talked. So pretty. Albeit being young (19 yo), it was the happiest I've been in my life. Sadly, it ended not much later, and now I cannot listen to it, because it takes me back to that moment, and makes me think of it and think and feel the loss of not having it anymore. I wish, I truly wish, I will be able to listen to it again, with another girl that decides to love me. I don't know when that's gonna be, but i know that when it happens, this song is gonna be played a lot on my phone.

this is the first time i cried over how stressful college is and this was playing i'm now crying harder

I've stood in that exact same spot in Tuolumne Meadows after climbing Cathedral Peak. Jumped in the river and got bit by mosquitos! What a great day that this song brought me back to.

This song is what made me feel calm and forget anything that feels uncomfortable to me (depression, stress, etc.). Also, whenever I feel down I listen to this song to know that I can be more than what I am. This song inspired me to create my own music as well. Btw, a beautiful song that is never to be forgotten 😊

I think this is my favourite song of his until now. The intimate performance, the simple form, the touching lyrics and the beautiful chords. Thank you jacob for allowing us to experience this masterpiece. It's wonderful

Ah, Jacob! The notes you find between the spaces strum very ancient strings in all of us. Thank you for uniting us through harmonic frequencies and showing us that love is infinite. Blessings.

every time im feeling scared, stressed, sad or generally unsure of what is going on, i always come to this song for comfort and to release the tears i've been fighting for so long.

Found this man today...and this song, is in my opinion, his best. It makes me nostalgic for something that hasn't happened

The lyrics in volume 2 are much better than in volume 1 in my opinion. Love it.

The most beautiful things in this world are things that are simple. Like this song.

It´s so cool to see that he´s capable of utter crazyness with microtonality, key changes, etc. and this calm beauty at the same time.

To the person who introduced me this song. Thank you! 💗

only when the song finished did i realise that I've been saying "WOW" out loud after every verse. beautiful

The song I never new I needed. From the bottom of my heart, Jacob, Thankyou ❤️

Right, I knew I had heard it from him before. May indeed become a Leitmotiv.

I hope you dont think that this song has low views due the unpopularity of the song BUT it is about how many people are ready for this. No many.

His music is as beautiful as Nick Drake's songs. But this time is like Collier knows something that Nick didn't know about being peaceful and happy. Two big poets!

[Verse 1] The time has come for me to tell you , All  the things I really feel about you . 'Cause  lately time's been moving on And every day we seem to grow a little older, too. The more I think of you the less I seem . To  know the way I feel about you . And  all I think is all I know . And all I know is all I want to think about is you . [Verse 2] I  used to think I knew it all , And that the love you gave was mine for keeping . i guess i cared too much for you back then . To see the simple magic of it all . I  long to see the things we saw When we were young and could not see so clearly When all the world was just a blur of colored lines that I'd trace most sincerely back to you . [Pre-Chorus] And you'd say , [Chorus] Time to rest your weary head . Take your wings and go to bed I know. You want to know it all, my darling. And I'd say , "Set me down and rock me , Rock me to sleep." [Verse 3] I see the sparkle in your eyes you say I'm beautiful and I believe you . And I will never feel more beautiful , Than when I'm wide awake beside you. I'll wander far and wide and wonder how it feels to fall in love with someone . Without the need to show her everything I've learnt . About the world since you've been gone , (Mmm) [Pre-Chorus] And you'd say , [Chorus] "Time to rest your weary head Take your wings and go to bed . I know you want to show it all, my darling." And I'd say , "Set me down and rock me, rock me to sleep." [Verse 4] There was a time it seemed the time itself Was free and would go on forever . Wanted to cling to it but, now I see . Its fading is its greatest treasure. Ooh [Pre-Chorus] And you would say , [Chorus] "Time to rest my weary head Take my wings and go to bed I know you want to feel it all, my darling" And I'd say "Sit me down and rock me, Oh . Sit me down and rock me. Oh darling, Sit me down and rock me, rock me to sleep."

Jacob delayed Volume 2 to stand on a rock for a day. I dig it.

You know when you hear a song that makes everything bad that happened worth it - just for a listen? Yeah, that’s this song.

Thank you Jacob, this song helped me fall asleep despite my nervousness and panic yesterday.

There was probably a manikin same size as Jacob while filming the stop motion, they also took pictures of Jacob with different angles of light (probably after knowing where lights will be directed after filming the stop motion), and they fused them together with after effects.

This song makes me wanna spend time in nature and then next to a fireplace with a scotch whiskey ❣️

I've encountered that word a long time ago in a reaction to Steven Wilson's work and this song made me feel that exact way. That slightly depressing feeling of nostalgia to a place or time you can't put your finger on.

THE STORY OF HOW JACOB COLLIER SAVED EARTH WITH JAZZ. I live on the same Earth, the very same planet, at the very same time as Jacob Collier. Its like being a contemporary with Jesus Christ or Moses, or Siddhartha Buddha or Mozart, Tchaikovsky, or Chopin. Im so fortunate in this LIFE to have heard his voice. Like a god, his voice is strong. With it he speaks and around the world he is heard clearly. His voice is soothing to a once healthy society. His tones are unique and his message is that of kindness and discordant harmony. Jacob Collier is the Eurasian god of sound, music and the Master of the Instruments in The Hall of The Mighty wherein meets The Council of Twelve. These gods meet there whenever they are or aren't PLEASED with our behavior. Human nature dictates that we find being cheeky irresistible. But the multitude of evil, wicked men angered the gods. So, there it was decided in an eleven to one vote, to cast our little world hurling into the Sun destroying all life, the wicked as well as forthright majority. The transgressions of a few men would be atoned by the destruction of all innocent life. Jacob's only vote of dissent among the gods angered them. So there, as quick as a bolt of lightning, Jacob invented a new sound. A new and different way to use the notes and sounds of the instruments. Jacob loved the little human beings. He was utterly distraught at the thought of losing all of them. Over come with despair, He discovered in his heart a new kind of music that celebrated the diversity of sound and its discord and syncopated rythms that were a direct reflection of man and his vast differences. Even though it stood solid in contrast to the harp music of the shepherds in the field, which was the favourite music of the other gods, Jacob's new creation was a reflection of chaotic mind set of humans living in modern mega cities like London and New York... the blaring sound of many car horns clashing and Jack hammers blaring and blasting seemingly with no order to it. Jacob began to play the instruments, first one, the drums which would set the mood, then another, the.deep strings of the Bass followed by the guitar, the flute, the sax and his piano. Upon hearing this heavenly music , the gods began to snap their fingers and pat their feet to this new form of magic. WHAT MANNER MESMERIZING MUSICAL MADNESS HAVE YOU CAST UPON US ALL?. WE SHALL ALL PARISH FROM SHEER DELIGHT UNDER ITS HYPNOTIC SPELL. WHAT IS THIS TANGLED MIRACLE OF MUSIC YOU PLAY BEFORE US? Jacob thinking quickly replied, "O Great ONE, this is from the inhabitants of Earth whom you shall wipe away with one whim you find winsome. This is the sound of man becoming more godlike, more complex as their world around them becomes even more complex and confusing. They call it JAZZ! It is the sum of all their problems answered. It is the product of the imagination of man not to solve every problem at once but cope with it until the problem can be resolved. This JAZZ is their gift to the very gods who would murder them. In hearing Jacob's words,the gods cried out with great remorse for what they almost did. The gods reversed their edict to annihilate mankind. In a very secret and sacred event Jacob gave to humanity the ceremony of THE Granting of the JAZZ to all Mankind. THE other gods were content in thinking that JAZZ was a gift to them by man,their all time favourite creation, The world was safe again. This is how Jacob Collier saved the Earth and all of mankind with JAZZ.

Fammi Typeo thank you. We have mythological.stories that tell us how we came to have many things and customes. But nothing to explain mythologically how we got JAZZ... it wasn't JUST a gift from the gods, it was granted to us from Jacob Collier. Jazzgod

Love how the mix sounds very raw and organic it fits the vibe..

Why am I just finding this. Why isn't this the most popular music in the damned world.

This song helped me cope with the death of my aunt I didn't even realize I needed to grieve over, thank you Jacob.

This song feels like a warm hug. Incredible work Jacob

I feel like so much of his music is a message of love, just like his idol, Stevie Wonder. It's just the best stuff to write about, the stuff of life and love.

You're trying to sleep... Trying to lay your head to rest Your mind is still moving... Running, wandering around... Around this Universe of ours... Ur FC from Thailand 🙏🇹🇭

It's amazing to see someone can soothe you with music and make you realize you're not alone with your emotions. It's an honor to be able to see the many forms of art created by this incredibly talented yet humble man. Lots of love to Jacob

After listening to the lyrics carefully, it sounds like the song is written about his Mother or Grandmother. Initially I thought it was about a girlfriend or something, but the more I considered the lyrics, particularly the chorus, the less I thought it was. As impressive as his bombastic techno wizard stuff is (and it is) I'm very glad to hear him open things up and let some space in his music. Beautiful song.
