Jacob’s Ladder

Jacob Collier sang and played

All the parts in vids he made,

Piling up impressive stacks

Of blended pre-recorded tracks.

As his “likes” began to spiral

Soon he, as they say, went viral.

Perhaps he yields to the seduction

Of the joys of post-production,

And it's true that, at their core,

In his arrangements more is more.

Still, we shouldn’t second guess

The art behind his huge success,

When from that start with his own cam, he’s

Gone to winning at the Grammys.
