Collier, Jacob - Close To You Lyrics






Why do birds suddenly appear?
Every time you are near
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you, you, you

Why do stars come falling from the sky?
Every time you walk by
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born, the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the boys in town
Follow you all around, yeah
Just like me, they long to be
Close to you

On the day that you were born, the angels got together
And decided to create a dream come true
So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue

That is why all the boys in town
Follow you all around, yeah
Just like me, they long to be, oh
Close to you, close to you

Oh, close to you
Oh, close to you...

    4:27 This bit always reminds me of Adam Neely and Sungazer.

    I like watching Jacob masterfully play all these instruments until he starts playing my instrument better than I can. Goddamn you Jacob

  3. P.... E....

    At 5:02 Jacob's hand moves to do the sliding fall so fast, even on 0.25 speed it looks instantaneous.

  4. Z.... D....

    Is there anything this boy can't do? What an extraordinary person.

  5. G.... N....

    Nathalie Lopes brought me here

  6. A.... M....

    He alredy used microtonalism in this arrengements? Did I heard some notes off in a couple of chords? Hahahsksj

  7. G.... B....

    Can someone tell me why it says click on the glass?

  8. T.... P....

    So this is what living in the time of Mozart felt like.

  9. A.... S....

    Ouvir essa obra prima, andando de carro, a noite na cidade, é inexplicável. Obrigado, J.C! ❤️

  10. C.... L....

    Why do birds, suddenly appear?
    Every time you are near
    Just like me, they long to be
    Close to you

    Why do stars, fall down from the sky?
    Every time you walk by
    Just like me, they long to be
    Close to you

    On the day that you were born, the angels got together
    And decided to create a dream come true
    So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
    Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue

    And that is why all the kids in town
    Follow you all around
    Just like me, they long to be
    Close to you

    On the day that you were born, the angels got together
    And decided to create a dream come true
    So they sprinkled moon dust in your hair
    Of gold and starlight in your eyes of blue

    And that is why all the kids in town
    Follow you all around
    And just like me, they long to be
    Close to you

    And just like me, they long to be
    Close to you

    Close to you

  12. D.... N....

  14. L.... B....

    Another Prince in the making?? Amazing!

  15. J.... K....

    What's supposed to happen when I click on the glass?

  16. b.... i....

    This introduced me to the world of jacob collier

  17. G.... k....

    Your living in 2020

  18. I.... E....

    3:03 that's where that came from!

  19. I.... E....

    I was walking and I swear it got like 10 degrees warmer outside at 1:16

  20. E.... W....

    I can literally feel the first minute vibrating my whole body

    I didn't like your job. But I recognized quality.. Now I am becomming addicted of your brilliant art. Your soul is made of light. Thank you for being a good person... it is so important to be a good human being compassionate... and a wonderful Artist.

  22. K.... b....

    The phrasing just doesn't do it for me i this song. Nice bassline though

  26. M.... B....

    😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

  27. E.... E....

    Amazing bass

  28. A.... M....

    Jacob is a multi instrumentalist, but he nearly completely leaves out wind instruments afaik (perhaps apart from Melodica). But it‘s nice to hear him voice-trumpet on this tune, a colour I haven‘t witnessed in his other compositions. 🎺

  29. A.... M....

    All people are so fascinated by your wizardry of rhythm and harmonics that they rarely comment your microtonal shifting, that gentle uptuning before even entering the song.

  30. b.... ....

    my guy sounds like Kermit

  31. B.... G....

    family humour

  32. J.... A....

    I have yet to find ANY musician or group that clearly puts as much thought and intention into EVERY SINGLE SECOND of a song. Period.

  33. J.... A....

    You NEED headphones to hear this song

  34. �.... ....

    凄い、 mistyな雰囲気だね。(゜д゜)

  35. N.... ....

    Parabéns! Deus te abençoe! Vc é novo, original, música pura, maravilhoso! Gosto muito do seu trabalho, dom, talento👏👏🙏

  36. F.... ....

    i just feel like i love u. thanks

  37. E.... b....

    I could listen to this and never get tired of it

  38. E.... b....

    Was he ever a member of Snarky Puppy another great Orchestra

  39. E.... b....

    Loved the Carpenters said with what happened to Karen love love this song great job awesome in fact by this musical Genius

  40. T.... P....

    <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

  41. 0.... ....

    he has a very punchable face

  42. G.... C....

    This is like when Stevie Wonder sang this with a vocoder

  43. B.... P....

    It could, no joke, be because of God.

  44. M.... G....

    Young man,is really good,if I was you.I would stay away from the likes of Quincy Jones and the mainstream pop music industry,they will corrupt you,rip you off,and destroy you,if you make it big enough,they will murder you b4 yo 50th bday,and pimp yo catalog, but hey! good luck!

  45. C.... A....

    I'm soooo happy I found your channel 🙌🏾💃🏽🙌🏾🍎💧🌱🦋

  46. J.... C....

    Cant handle the groove so good. 👏

  47. G.... B....

    this should be illegal omg

  48. M.... ....

    This is amazing! It's like im listening to Dilla & Thundercat create madness w Take 6 in the back on some ridiculous harmonizing only this is 1 young man who happens to play all the instruments too. It's bizarre.

  49. C.... A....

    I am 56 years old and I heared the original Carpenter song in my childhood. And to me Jacob version is just incredible. He took all the essence and add 100000% better best more. Go ahead boy! So hard to reinvented a well Known song

  50. V.... B....

    JUST WATCHED THIS ..... Songs over ...... laying on the floor ..... starin' at the ceiling fan .... with an oxygen mask on!!!!

  51. C.... ....

    I heavily fuck with this, the use of neo soul works in this cover works exceptionally and the quirky production that makes this so special really just perfects it as a piece of original art by you. I’m so glad I found you and your work, thank you for this.

  52. T.... H....

    When ur God

  53. E.... S....

    Not my type, he is just ruining the real essence of the real song, wrong genre!

  54. d.... ....

    I've figured out his secret. It's pretty nefarious. He's a talent vampire. Everyone who listens gets the talent sucked out of them and it's absorbed into Jacob. This is the only answer for what is happening.

  55. B.... ....

    Made me at first think of Palestrina's Missa Papae Marcelli, the Kyrie and the Agnus Dei. Palestrina was the premier polyphonist of his age. The tones just build up and up...

    This: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BRfF7W4El60

    Collier needs to also explore Renaissance music, too, ooo baby! Palestrina, Praetorius, Allegri, and of course, using his technology and art. Yeah, buddy!

    BTW, I never liked the Carpenters as much as with this track!

  56. P.... O....

    Still listening to this in 2019

  57. J.... D....

    This is so outstanding!

  76. A.... S....

    If you look in the center at the beginning, you'll see that Jacob has 5 infinity stones inside the glass harps, which is why he's the strongest being in the universe. The only one missing is the power stone, which he swallowed as a kid.

  77. J.... A....

    This is like the world’s best acid trip
