when she said "how could you do this to me" it broke me. i felt that in every inch of my being. felt like she was saying that to her mom at that moment because of how fresh her passing was.
This song was actually written for her soon to be ex husband. But her mom did pass 3 days before she sang live. I love how she emotes all her emotions so raw and pure
I heard that her mom didn't actually die until a week after this performance and that everybody is spreading misinformation about this performance, I wonder what is honestly the truth
@@Lexi2015-f You are correct. “Yebba has been an outspoken advocate for mental health awareness and support. Her mother died by suicide about a week after Yebba sang her first original song, causing "My Mind" to take on new meaning representing mental health. She says her artist name was chosen to honor her mother, who she said "always called her by the nickname" (her name Abbey written backwards) as a child. In memory of her mother, Yebba gave the song away free through her website.[17][18]”
This song wasn’t written for her personal relationship. It was written on behalf of her mom. Her dad was unfaithful to her mom and this song tells that story. And her mom passed after this performance, not before. Please research before commenting.
Yebba was born Abigail Smith and went by Abbey for short up until her mom’s passing. She then got her name legally changed to Yebba. Yebba, notably Abbey spelt backwards was a nickname given to her by her mom. I absolutely broke down when I learned this. I empathize with her loss as I have also lost loved ones to suicide. I can’t get through listening to My Mind without sobbing. Her pain is so real. An actual masterpiece. Perfection caught on camera. I’m so very grateful for her. She’s helped me and I know many others by being open with her grief.
My best friend took his life almost three years ago (the morning after we celebrated Christmas together). This performance has me in shambles. It's a hurt like no other. I see her. I see her so hard.
I need more friends like this that experience music fully with their whole body, cry, tingles, everything. You felt this performance cuz you feel her emotions and you can see the pain on her face. Showed this to a few people and only one reacted like i did with as much emotion. People are impressed by her but only some really feel her
You are so sweet and compassionate and I cried along with you to this song ❤ It’s one of my all time favorites and I love watching peoples reaction to it! Don’t listen to the weird jerk in your comments. I think it’s refreshing to see you express yourself, don’t let anyone silence you!! ❤
Battle cries. She’s 150% vulnerable and puts her whole self out there. Her mom did take her own life. To be able to perform at all is crazy. The lyrics sound like a love song written to a lover who has betrayed her.
It has been a very, very long time since I have heard a voice that absolutely stuns like hers. She is absolutely unbelievable and her range is insane! So so good.
For those commenting about the context of this song: This song was written about the infidelities of her father. It’s not about her own personal relationships. Her did pass away to suicide but it was sometime AFTER this performance. Her mom was a science teacher and her dad was a preacher.
This song is hit me like no other when I first heard it. There aren’t to many songs that I fall for instantly when I first hear it. My husband left and moved on with another woman, a man I so deeply loved and tried my all to be everything he needed and more. I feel lost, and misunderstood. However, Yebba, said everything I was feeling and everything that I needed to hear. Thank you so incredibly much for sharing your talent and gift of music with the world. I look forward to listening to more… Sending love and light to all who truly relate to every word this beautiful being has sung. Cause it will get better. ❤☀️❤☀️❤
I see you. I feel you. For all of us -- who have been broken by love, those of us who lived in that suffering and endured it. This song is literally a sonic representation of the anger, despair, confusion, grief, and pain of a true broken heart. I hope this comment reminds you that there are many of us, and that we are strong, and we can get through hard things. Keep your beautiful chin up.
She actually performed it another time live with a band. It was kind of a home live session and people ask for her to sing it. She totally rearranged it and it was amazing. The video is still on TH-cam.
Bless your soul, brother. Ignore the dumb people here giving you flak for crying. This is one of those achingly raw and rare performances that would melt the most stone cold heart. Yebba is magnificent.
I have watched her video dozens of times and I have cried every single time. Haven't seen it in awhile. Thanks for bringing it back to me and for taking time to really FEEL it like it deserves to be felt.
Yebba’s talent is Otherworldly. I have been following her work for several years now. I hope to see her perform live one day. @northseajazz: please get her to the Netherlands already!
Yes, 'Evergreen' is about her mother. However, the emotions expressed here were for her mother, who had passed just days before. This was Yebba's first solo gig. She was signed immediately following this performance.
PLEASE don’t ever apologize for being emotional. It is something that humanity is so sorely lacking and very much needed ❤ This performance was actually a week before her mother committed S. After her mother died it took on a new meaning and, as a tribute to her mother Yebba released it on her website for free - bringing awareness to mental health. She also adopted the nickname that her mom called her- YEBBA( ABBEY backwards). Her single EVERGREEN is about her mom. And her album DAWN was named after her as well.Songs like October Sky, How Many Years and others are about her mother. I have been watching Yebba perform this since 2018/9 , hundreds of times ( no cap) and it is still gut wrenching and brings me to tears. Yebba is a vocal gymnast and I hope you listen to her Tiny Desk Concert and BOOMERANG Live
When I first heard this song about 2 years ago I guess I couldn't listen to it for a long time because it's so emotional and I love seeing people react to it and I also love your setup❤ new subscriber

New to your channel! Been watching reaction videos for years, and there’s just something about you that I love. Keep up the work! You’re doing great, and I can’t wait to see where you go! Yebba is the shit, I’m definitely subbing and ringing that bell for you my guy!
Love ur channel-. LAURA from Boston... You should cover Tool Wings for Marie part 1 and 2 because he only performed it live once or twice cause it was too hard for him. Judith Marie was his mom and it's too beautiful and heartbreaking and will move you for sure. Be kind, it's easy ❤❤❤
This performance garnered her a recording contract. Her mother had just passed a few days before. The emotion was for her mother. I'm sure she chose to perform this song because her pain and tears would make sense.
Her mother commits suicide then she finds out her man is cheating on her...what's next? She gets kicked out of her apartment & her car gets repossessed? This is country music territory heartbreak lyrics. Her voice is beautiful but the content should come with a warning label to stay away from razor blades & other sharp instruments.
I think she lost her mom a week after... But idk. What I do know is that she is almost as good of a writer and “emoter“ as she is a vocal architect. She's too young during this performance to really understand the pain in the situation she's singing about. Maybe it's from her mom's perspective... Listen to paranoia purple.
Wherever I'm in my feels I look for new people reacting to yebba, it's like getting to hear her for the first time through your eyes. Beautiful.
hey thats what im doing xo
Sameee
SAME!
Saaaaame!
Gurl same

I cried like a child when I first saw her video. True example of soul…beautiful.
She's doing what Jewel Kilcher calls transmuting pain into beauty. Incredible talent.
Yebba is one of those people who was placed here to help us feel. I LOVED watching your reaction 🤍

Yebba can sing her pain like no other. Great reaction!
Yess she can. And thank you🙏💙
She song the pain of those who's been through that as well

I love watching people discover Yebba. She's amazing.
Battle cries. She’s 150% vulnerable and puts her whole self out there. Her mom did take her own life. To be able to perform at all is crazy. The lyrics sound like a love song written to a lover who has betrayed her.
I used to play this song extra loud when I was going through my divorce. The message was lord and clear
It has been a very, very long time since I have heard a voice that absolutely stuns like hers. She is absolutely unbelievable and her range is insane! So so good.
My daughter played tgis song for me a month ago maybe. I juss looked at her like ... 😮 ! I had no words to describe what I heard.
I, truthfully, just cannot stop listening to her sing this song. Awesome!
The song she wrote as a dedication to her Mom is called Evergreen
Yebba is amazing. She puts everything in her music ❤️

Her did pass away to suicide but it was sometime AFTER this performance.

The best performance I've seen in recent years. For me to feel all my goosebumps, it's not just any song that causes me that.
This song is hit me like no other when I first heard it. There aren’t to many songs that I fall for instantly when I first hear it.

I love that one. 😊
The Spirit of depression took her mother by suicide. I feel her talking to that in this song. My heart hears it. I cry every time.
Bless your soul, brother. Ignore the dumb people here giving you flak for crying. This is one of those achingly raw and rare performances that would melt the most stone cold heart. Yebba is magnificent.

The power of love and music is eternal. You did your Mum proud Yebba.....real proud. Xxxx
You’re so great and empathetic. Thank you for making your presence known.
Me years ago when I watched this performance. Still got me sobbing.
Feeling emotional today so thought I’d come find some Yebba reactions, glad I did, Thanks for sharing 💜🎶💜
I'm right there with you bro, Her vocals knock on your soul.
Yebba’s talent is Otherworldly. I have been following her work for several years now. I hope to see her perform live one day. @northseajazz: please get her to the Netherlands already!

Your reaction is genuine, bro ❤ keep it up

The song ‘Evergreen’ was about her mother. Idk who this song is about but dang! I ❤Yebba
She is soo strong so so strong🕊 may the lord rest her soul
Yes, 'Evergreen' is about her mother. However, the emotions expressed here were for her mother, who had passed just days before. This was Yebba's first solo gig. She was signed immediately following this performance.
@@avionterria7855 Not true, her mom died a week after this performance
@@beewhiched yes, thank you. I've learned that since the comment.

She reaches in your chest and pulls out your heart for sure
My brother under God never apologize for putting out a tear . Music is Healing .
When I first heard this song about 2 years ago I guess I couldn't listen to it for a long time because it's so emotional and I love seeing people react to it and I also love your setup❤ new subscriber
I think the best vocal performance I have heard.
Yeah, her mom died shortly this performance. Evergreen is the one that is dedicated to her mother.
shortly AFTER this performance
Yebbas mother died by suicide about a week after Yebba sang her first original song, causing "My Mind" to take on new meaning representing mental health. She says her artist name was chosen to honor her mother, who she said "always called her by the nickname" (her name Abbey written backwards) as a child. In memory of her mother, Yebba gave the song away free through her website.
I’m glad you found Yebba! Yes, she’s amazing! Check out her “Boomerang”.
New to your channel! Been watching reaction videos for years, and there’s just something about you that I love. Keep up the work! You’re doing great, and I can’t wait to see where you go! Yebba is the shit, I’m definitely subbing and ringing that bell for you my guy!
I appreciate this allot thank u so much🙏💜
Empathy cries are so healing
She's amazing 😢
I love Yebba ❤
omg i loove youuu. love your heart
So beautiful ❤
She hits hard x
1:42 This song is about her Ex. Her mom passed a week after this was recorded.
I would love to hear from the audience that was there that night. Or I wish the camera woulda panned out to them. Wish I coulda seen more faces.
Had me crying too ❤
Love ur channel-. LAURA from Boston... You should cover Tool Wings for Marie part 1 and 2 because he only performed it live once or twice cause it was too hard for him. Judith Marie was his mom and it's too beautiful and heartbreaking and will move you for sure. Be kind, it's easy ❤❤❤
Such a fantastic channel name and logo!
Thank u very much🙏❤️🖤❤️🖤
The song do3snt sound like it's in memory of her mother but more about a break up relationship or marriage
Yeah my editor gave me wrong info 😅😅 even tho that wasnt the song. He told me bout it and i just couldnt stop thinkin about it
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
🕊️
This song wasn’t about her mom although the emotion was there. Evergreen and Yebba’s heartbreak are songs about her mom you should check them out
It’s another song she has dedicated to her mom its called How Many Years on her Tiny Desk. If you think this made you cry go listen to that.
I also think that october sky is about her mother.But all of it beautiful
🦋💕
emma busse does a good job covering this on one of American idol.
🕊️🕊️🕊️
Someone hurt her bad. Real bad
This performance garnered her a recording contract. Her mother had just passed a few days before. The emotion was for her mother. I'm sure she chose to perform this song because her pain and tears would make sense.
Her mom's death made her more emitional and vulnerable but its about her person relationship heartbreak
❤
Her mother commits suicide then she finds out her man is cheating on her...what's next? She gets kicked out of her apartment & her car gets repossessed? This is country music territory heartbreak lyrics. Her voice is beautiful but the content should come with a warning label to stay away from razor blades & other sharp instruments.

What I do know is that she is almost as good of a writer and “emoter“ as she is a vocal architect.

Well said💞
A strong woman
Do you think age is what determines if a person is to young to have experienced certain life situations? It could very well be from her perspective
Just a sidenote - this song is not about her mom passing away but about her girlfriends infidelity.
This song destroys me.
Yeah…. white girl can sing!
Wrong song. It was EverGreen on her Mother
Yeah i heard
Make a set, get a pro 🎤. You could make bank on TH-cam
Her mother took her life AFTER this. So, completely incorrect in the beginning of your video……..
Man, you are holding a pillowing and crying. You are a soft individual, who cannot control his emotions.
You are not the smartest at home . But god bless u anyways
cry me a river 🥱
Any man afraid to cry or call another man soft for not being afraid to have and show emotions needs to see a professional. Bless your heart.
You both are fruits
@@carlpearson5493Why You Being Mean?
Moral of the story, don’t get fat and he won’t leave you.
this is about a dude cheating on her .
You've got to live it to sing it.
Ive gained so much respect for what she did. You have to be really strong
Her sound is similar to Adele
❤
