Collier, Jacob - Ocean Wide, Canyon Deep Lyrics






[Jacob Collier:]
She's ocean wide, canyon deep
From open eyes to twilight sleep
She's in the sky, beneath my feet
I said to her, "Don't wait for me
I watched you grow, you set me free
Go spread your wings, tell me what you see, you see"

[Laura Mvula:]
And what I'll find, you'll never know
You'll be far ahead, I'll be long ago
But I'll be here even when I go, you know
Unspoken words I long to say
We'll save them for another day
I wish you light along the way, your way

[Jacob Collier & Laura Mvula:]
But if you only take my hand
You'll always go where I go, and you'll come home
I know I'll find you there
Paint a picture of the world you see
(What do you see? What do you see?)
Together you and I will always be (Always be, always be)
We'll hold each other as we go around
(What do you see? What do you see?)
Whichever universe it is we've found
(What do you see?)

[Jacob Collier:]
The day is cold, the fire so warm
Gonna take some more to erase the storm
I think of you from dusk 'til dawn
'Til dawn

    This song opened my heart to the truth 🖤🌕 What a magical tune. This is absolute perfection!

  2. S.... ....

    @3:35 they teased us with 2 seconds of harmony because they knew our hearts couldn't handle more

  3. S.... ....

    That chord change @2:52 like HOW EVEN!?! THAT. WAS. SO. SMOOTH.

    J.... D....

    So much talent and passion between them

  9. B.... G....

    There's so many things that could be said about this, but the only thing I can offer beyond what's already been said is that whoever mixed the vocals deserves a raise. Both of them sound perfect and it makes the mood of this song perfect. I am blown away

    B.... G....

    MARO is the single greatest singer on this Earth

  24. M.... P....

    It is not about being genius, or music theory, at the end of the day it’s about being a human. We should all start to listen to the music with closed eyes and nothing else. Just pure enjoyment!

  25. S.... S....

    Perfect...

    Delicate, rich, articulate, playful, honest, with a beautiful arc.

  29. R.... F....

    gah! is there anywhere to buy this song?

  30. B.... B....

    I absolutely hate when singers decide to improvise singing parts. It ruins the idea of a song that I've established after listening to it for 100 times. I might be the only one. But I always like versions that stay true to album version as far as singing parts are concerned.

  31. F.... W....

    This year has been one of the hardest for me. I know that nowadays many people suffer from depression. Unfortunately, so am I. Your music, your joy in life and your curiosity showed me that life is valuable. I could bring some of it into my life and I don't want to miss it anymore. I hope one day I can bring as much joy into the world as you do. Thank you Jacob. <3

  32. t.... ....

  38. d.... ....

    Oh...so so nice singing...thanks for that. This is true art.

  39. a.... s....

    the most beautiful duet I have ever heard in my whole life

  40. K.... ....

    much better than the studio version imo

  41. p.... v....

    When you're listening to such a perfect music melody and voices, you connect with your soul and remember what real music is.
    But who knows who Maro & Jacob are?
    This music "from heaven" is so far away from the drum machines
    "diarrhea" and the barking of those rap guys, who dare calling the noise they produce: "music"...
    And millions of deaf people buy their stinky shit... What a shame!

  42. R.... J....

    I think this version is even better than the one on the actual album!

  43. S.... B....

    I'm Ready For A Jacob Collier Biopic!

  44. L.... D....

    I'm floating!!

  64. A.... a....

    Check out "Prince - sometimes it snows in April" similar vibe

  65. H.... A....

    Does someone know the main progression?

  66. H.... P....

    omg i need this version on my desk right away

  67. M.... C....

    I'm sure this will be playing as I enter the Pearly Gates.....so soothing....genius

  68. P.... ....

    No words can describe what I feel ... this is a moment out of time

  69. N.... ....

    Why does this look like CGI?

  70. S.... Y....

    I cried watching this. Sound engineer myself, would love to thank whoever recorded, mixed and/or mastered it... beautiful. Fav song of 2019.

    S.... Y....

    Not surprised if Collier did that all himself.. effin genius

    S.... Y....

    I absolutely love the song, I account for about 10% of the views I think. ;) but the recording doesn't seem the greatest to me. There are weird phase issues on Jacob's vocals, other artifacts as well. From plosives to exagerated proximity effect. Don't get me wrong, intimate songs like this work well with less polished recordings, but IMO the song and performance is breathtaking to the point of asphyxiation, recording is "meh".

    S.... Y....

    around the 0:55 mark the phase issues are really apparent, it distracts from the performance.

  71. R.... T....

    just beautifull....
    Congratulations to the both of you <3

  72. C.... N....

    This is my favorite song of the album! I can't stop listening!

  73. F.... K....

    i’m not crying you are😭

  74. B.... A....

    MARO, I'm so proud of you.

  75. S.... M....

    jazzing myse

  76. S.... R....

    I just keep coming back to this...I can’t help myself.

  77. J.... T....

    I find myself getting properly medicated and listening to this on a regular basis.

  78. S.... ....

    If you think about "from dusk till dawn " isn't relatively that much time. From "dawn till dusk" is better. Looool.😎

    S.... ....

    But that means that the Person cant get any sleep so...

  79. S.... ....

    This is amazing. I get goosebumps, so moving...

  80. H.... L....

    I saw Jacob at The Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama a few years ago and I was awestruck and speechless, in total shock, because I realized I had just witnessed something truly amazing! The man is a musical genius! He melodically blends so many genres of music and sounds to astound the soul!!

  81. C.... R....

    I like when you are simple and organic like this @jacobcollier. I do love your art and it blows my mind but I would really love to keep listening to these kind of stuff aswell! thank you mate

  82. J.... P....

    Dear Universe... Please keep Jacob safe in all of his travels. The human race cannot afford to lose him. We need people like him more than ever to remind us of the beauty in all things.

    J.... P....

    Yes please. I saw his crazy tour dates. Oh man. Please take care - I am too much in love to loose him. Even if his music will stay - I do not want to loose my privilege to live in the same time as he does. I worked so hard on our quantum entanglement.

    J.... P....

    Dear universe, please protect Jacob Collier‘s health and well-being. Please steer him clear from the pitfalls of fame, out of the way of parties and the seductions of stardom, please keep him safe and his joy complete.

    J.... P....

    He's gonna be fine :)

    J.... P....

    While you're at it, keep me safe as well. And all the unheard geniuses in shit-poor countries that corporations are fucking over and that we - consumers - give a platform. Actually, keep everyone safe.

  83. S.... S....

    As beautiful a song as was ever created,

  84. M.... D....

    That ONE sprig of audio edelweiss I’ve been searching for...ty both

  85. A.... ....

    Jacob: She's freaking fat and her pussy is loose as heck.
    Record label: dude, we can't name the song that, are you crazy!?
    Jacob: ok then name it Ocean wide and canyon deep.
    Record label: now we're talking

  86. H.... N....

    Just amazing!

  87. D.... L....

    fantastic

  88. s.... ....

    JUNE WHERE ARE YOUUUU WE NEED YOU

  89. C.... L....

    A spectacularly emotional, nuanced piece. Hard to listen to without choking up... there is an enormous amount of tenderness and honest emotion that comes through quite clearly in this piece.

  90. R.... A....

    I’m trying to find this exact version on ITunes to buy but I can’t find it... can anyone help?

    R.... A....

    I dont think it's available in other channels

  91. H.... ....

    Just awful

  92. S.... N....

    I hope to listen one day Jacob Collier and Aurora :D

  93. M.... D....

    I remember complaining to a chemistry professor in college I just didn’t have the gift...she quickly let me know the ONLY 2 GIFTS we get are Math and Music....many decades later....I understand.

  94. A.... P....

    i have faith again ...in this generation...in music

  95. L.... T....

    WHEN WILL THIS BE ON SPOTIFY

    L.... T....

    Unfortunately never :( But the orig version is there!

    L.... T....

    Leon Tanis you can convert this video to mp3 and then from your pc upload it to your spotify in local files :)

  96. A.... R....

    This is absolutely gorgeous I'm blown away.... Jacob is THE musician. of all time. that's all.

  97. F.... ....

    Anybody knows what is the chord at 4:05?

  98. m.... k....

    I listened to the song the first time and was swept away by the music to the extent that I didn't pay attention to the lyrics. I told my friend who was with me that it felt like he had gone to paradise but had to leave someone behind. On listening again and paying attention to the lyrics this time I am amazed at how similar the story is to the one the music alone made me feel. This incredibly accurate emotional expression is something I have never heard before from any other artist. The music says exactly what he feels without the lyrics

    Lyrics

    She's ocean wide, canyon deep
    From open eyes to twilight sleep
    She's in the sky, beneath my feet
    I said to her, "Don't wait for me
    I watched you grow, you set me free
    Go spread your wings, tell me what you see, you see"


    And what I'll find, you'll never know
    You'll be far ahead, I'll be long ago
    But I'll be here even when I go, you know
    Unspoken words I long to say
    We'll save them for another day
    I wish you light along the way, your way


    But if you only take my hand
    You'll always go where I go, and you'll come home
    I know I'll find you there
    Paint a picture of the world you see

    Together you and I will always be (Always be, always be)
    We'll hold each other as we go around

    Whichever universe it is we've found

    The day is cold, the fire so warm

    I think of you from dusk 'til dawn
