I sat down to eat my lunch and thought I’d watch Jacob Collier’s tiny desk. Within a few minutes I was mid-bite and crying. The songs moved me deeply.
I think more than that though was how little he said about each song. He simply introduced and without saying much proceeded to play the song.
He then didn’t tell us why he wrote it or how to feel. He simply shared the art.
Maybe because words aren’t big enough for the emotions and meanings in the songs. But mostly I think because we don’t need introductions or appendicies.
We just need to listen.
