I don't have strong opinions about Jacob Collier, but I do have extremely strong opinions about Björk, and I consider "Hyperballad" one of her two greatest songs. That puts it at a stratospheric level esteem in my book. Here's Björk's original version and here are the lyrics.

My family would tell you that I've been known to drive them crazy playing the covers from this album, over and over.

But this recent performance by Collier surely ranks among the finest covers of this masterpiece. So here it is, our song of the month. I don't own the copyright on this picture or the song but I suppose Collier would like your clicks.
