10 They CAN NOT beat us.... as long as we remember to love one another. Jacob Collier and audience-as-choir covering "Somebody to Love" (probably the Mozart of our time. No exaggeration) (www.youtube.com) posted 1 year ago by Swervish 1 year ago by Swervish +10 / -0 9 comments share 9 comments share save hide report block hide replies
Yes. Ive seen it. Ive also hear Mozart performed live by everything from single piano to full orchestra.
Mozart was the cutting edge pop musician of his time.
I didn't say Collier was 'like' Mozart. I said he may be the Mozart of our time.
How so?, with all respect he wrote all of his own music already completed in his head . This guy is singing someone's already perfect music.
And what do you think of the piece posted? I notice you're more interested in explaining the already familiar Mozart than exploring the modern Collier.
After all, he's won 11 Grammys in since 2017, and is nominated for 2 more in 2023.
Give him a try.
Start here; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Popdt3NYgU
or
Watch him partially redefine music theory; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mLJVvjqMjbo ... (kind of like Mozart did)
I got 1/2 way through and shut it off. (to be honest with you )
That's perfectly OK, because the OP wasn't about Mozart or music theory anyway.
It was about loving one another.
Listen to Collier's cover in the original post (especially the second half ;) and try the love part instead of the argument part. See how that feels.
