Jacob Collier Drops New Live Video for “Something Heavy” at St. Peter's Church
London-based singer-songwriter Jacob Collier dropped a new live video for “Something Heavy” on December 22, 2025.
The video was filmed at St. Peter's Church in Riga, Latvia and directed by André Tentugal.
The song is featured on his sixth studio album “The Light For Days”, which was released back in October.
Before the release of the live video, he performed the song on BBC Later... with Jools Holland.
It was written and produced by Jacob Collier.
He recorded the new album primarily with acoustic guitar, but “Something Heavy” was created with piano and orchestra, in addition to guitar, setting it apart from the other songs.
Jacob Collier said of the song, “This song speaks to me in a way no other song does.”- Jacob Collier recorded the album “The Light For Days” in only four days, with 5-string and 10-string signature Taylor acoustic guitars.
Jacob Collier said of the album, “Since completing the Djesse album series, my imagination has been brimming with all sorts of ideas of things I'd like to do and create. One of the things I've wanted to really focus on, and zone into, is the limitation of a single instrument. The acoustic-guitar sound world has been a foundational aspect of my music universe for as long as I can remember, and so I set myself the challenge of making a full-length album, using almost entirely the five-stringed guitar, in just four days. As a result I had to work so fast that I couldn't second-guess anything - I just had to roll with and trust the process. The results are warm, scrappy, imperfect, but very close to my heart. Djesse Vol. 4 took four years, so this was a severe limitation, but it was a really rewarding one. This is also the first album since In My Room that is 100% me.” - source : Apple Music
