Biography

British multi-instrumentalist, vocalist, producer, and artist. Born: 2 August 1994 in Finchley, North London, UK. Collier incorporates elements from a variety of musical genres (jazz in particular), and often focuses his compositions and arrangements around varying types of harmonization. Among nine total Grammy Award nominations as of November 2021, Collier is the first British artist to receive an award for each of an artist's first four studio albums, winning a total of five to date. He started releasing Youtube videos in the late 2000s, often featuring quarter-note harmonies, soon releasing some tracks on [l=Bandcamp] where jazz pianist [a=Herbie Hancock] picked up on them, and eventually connecting with world-renowned producer [a=Quincy Jones] – both of which helped him launch his career. Later, film music composer/producer [a=Hans Zimmer] connected with him, with Collier doing a version of track the "Flintstones" on his debut album "[Link]" (2016). He also began doing a multi-month world tour, performing with [a=Jules Buckley] and the [a=Metropole Orchestra] and many others across genres for his series of three albums "[url=https://www.discogs.com/master/1522891-Jacob-Collier-With-Metropole-Orkest-Conducted-By-Jules-Buckley-Djesse-Vol-1]Djesse[/url]" (2018-2020), pronounced "jay cee" after Collier's initials. He has also worked with another of his idols, US vocal harmony group [a=Take 6], who featured with others including his mother [a6960254] at his own night at "The Proms" annual summer of classical music concerts held at the [a=Royal Albert Hall] in London, UK – where they also played footage of his grandfather [a562375] playing lead orchestra violin at a Proms performance in 1964. Son of classical violinist, conductor, and music teacher [a6960254]; maternal grandson of violinist and orchestra leader [a562375].

LYRICS

When you're weary
Feelin' small
And tears are in your eyes
I will dry them all
I am by your side
When times get tough
And friends just can't be found
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
(I will) I will lay me down, yeah
(Lay me down)
When you're down and out
When you're on the street (When evening)
When evening falls so hard
I will comfort you
I'll take your part, yes (dum, dum, dum, dum, dum)
When darkness comes
And pain is all
All around
Like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Like a bridge over troubled water
(I will) I will lay me down
Oeh
Sail on silver girl
Sail on by
Your time has come to shine
All your dreams are on their way
See how they shine
Oh, if you need a friend
I'm sailing right behind
Oh, like a bridge over troubled water
I will lay me down
Lay me, lay me
Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me down
Lay me, lay me, lay me down
Lay me down (Ah)
Oh, ey
Lay me down
