I have created a Ko-fi page because a number of you had reached out asking why I do not have a link for donations. Understand that I do not ever want my exploration of all this great music to ever be about money, but I appreciate the feedback and support that I have received and have decided that I will provide this option. I will however, ensure that my beautiful daughter benefits from your kindness! Much love to you all! 💝

#Yebba #OctoberSky #Reactions
October Sky builds a quiet symphony around a particularly potent memory of Yebba’s mother-a high school science teacher who sometimes brought home the bottle rockets her students had constructed for class. “I wrote this whole story about remembering her sliding down the hall and telling us ‘Come outside we’re shooting off bottle rockets,’” Yebba explains. “That memory came to me and the words just spilled out: this story of her and the promise that she broke, in a way, because she killed herself in October. I genuinely feel like she was standing there in the room with me as I was writing it, in my studio apartment in Brooklyn.”
Thanks for posting this :)
Please react to her Tiny Desk concert next. You will love it. She writes all her own songs and her voice has the depth of the oceans. 💗
Storyteller was the word i was thinking of too. Shes all wow. I will look up on the lyrics
Truly amazing song. She is very clever with this one, I will cherish it forever
This is why I love you, you don't just listen to a beautiful voice or melody but immerse yourself in the lyrics and don't be ashamed of your emotions. You are a beautiful person. 🤗 💖
Morning Faja.. You went to bed just in time :) - and aw thanks 💛 - it doesnt always happen, only some songs connected with me instantly - this one was so very strange as I was hearing it and was not expecting what i found out at all
@@DancingCoder I hadn't heard this song before, I've been working on playlists on my channel for a few days in Yebba's list there are 4 songs but I'm going to use this one too so thanks
💖
Yebba has me in tears with her songs, no matter how many times I have heard them. Evergreen is also about her mom and definitely worth reacting to.
For some reason I was musically carried away in the days of King Arthur ... A beautiful song! Beautiful singing ... very beautiful ... Your most emotionally strong reaction of all that I have seen so far.
Oh there are a few trust me 🙈
@@DancingCoder You gave me hope, bro.))) While you were crying, at that time I rode some horses through the druidic forests ... I don't know what came over me, but the music took over my perception of the lyrics... and the lyrics is so sad that it was easier for me, an intuitive empath, to imagine myself in a castle than to survive another someone's tragedy, as her own ... did the protective mechanisms of the psyche turn on? An amazing thing is our brain! Only proves the level of this song...
:)
Well, she slid down the hall in her socks and yelled, "Come outside"
No, no, no, nothing's wrong
I just happen to have a surprise
So we fell through the door like the autumn leaves
And I wrestled my brother down to his knees
Just to watch as her rocket shot into the October sky
There's a picture of us
In a layer of dust
On the mantle
Right by my cigarettes that I smoke since you left
'Cause you said you had to fly
In your October sky
Now I work in the city and I blend into the crowd
And the people grieve with me since the towers came down, down
You could cut the pollution with a butter knife
You could wake up at two and then party all night
But I'm missin' my mama, so I stand on the street and get high
There's a picture of us
Hidden in a layer of dust
On the mantle
Right by my cigarettes that I smoke since you left
'Cause you said you had to fly
In your October sky
Oh, woah, oh
And as I go back home to Memphis
I remember days that I
I was outside shootin' rockets
Almost as high, high
In your October
In your October
In your October
In your October
In your October sky

I really appreciate your honesty & vulnerability.
I was really affected by this song and it’s really validating to see another person having their own emotional experience with this music. on my end, it was really powerful to be able to see you cry and process something so openly in real time. It seemed overwhelming, which aligns with what happened to me. I sometimes get hit by an overwhelming wave of grief listening to her music, and it’s really comforting and special to not just know that other people feel that way, but to see another person actually feel it.
thank you for being willing to share that uncropped and unedited. We’re doing each other justice when we share things that vulnerably - and i think that it does her music justice too. I can’t speak for yebba, but I hope that having people come together in pain & comfort over her music is something that makes her happy. We might be grieving different things, but the grief she puts into her songs touches me really deeply and helps me have my own. what a work of art.
please, please check out some of yebba’s other songs. They’re not all as painful as this one is (for me), even though many do deal with grief. Her tiny desk is super cool and has some really uplifting songs.
Thanks Nick! This is such a comforting song at the same time. Thank you for speaking up. Tiny Desk is next on my Yebba list to visit and is very much overdue.
@@DancingCoder hey! Just wanted to poke n check in on this - are you still thinking about doing yebba’s tiny desk? i love your reactions and i’d love to see what you feel about that one
It’s really hard to listen to Paranoia Purple on her new album. I don’t think I have ever been impacted so much by a living artist. It broke me.
Yes… that stays on repeat for me. Reminds me of my daddy. Breaks me every time luv that song. Best song on the album to me.
I sobbed at the end 💔
Paranoia purple live at electric lady is out on spotify :)
@@e_12_hafidabiyunanto67 that’s the first song I listened to of hers(that version) just a month ago when I randomly found her and I swear that song…changed me
Thanks for spending so much time on the lyrics. Her lyrics are so visual and I really like the simplicity of the presentation of the song, guitar and her voice. Amazing. Made me really listen and feel with you. Your emotions and reaction touches my heart. 😢
:) thanks - it appears some songs just turn a switch on in me whereas others it takes a little while longer. I think this was because of Yebba's creative style in her songwriting.. It just made sense to me what I was hearing.. It shocked me though to be honest
@@DancingCoder Thanks for being you and being real. That's a pretty cool combination. 💗
💛
You have become my favorite reactor to Yebba. I love her and have waited for her album for five years! I can’t wait for you to discover all that she is.
Thank you! This song is absolutely incredible. She is such a talented creative writer and singer
Just being me :) - i love lewis! :) I was introduced to him via a Bastille gig. This crazy kid comes out on stage and wow.. who is this guy! Lewis! :)
I haven’t been this emotional over a video, but you’re raw reaction took me there. Hope you’re okay. Love the song.
Please react to Yebba's Tiny Desk, you are gonna adore every bit of it!! Earned a new subscriber for sure
Thank you! I cant wait to hear more. I will just make sure I am not as tuned in as this one as it was a shock picking up on that (considering the video I posted 2 days prior) - I wont link it because not forcing that upon anyone unless they are ready for the messaging - thanks for the sub :)
My father did the same thing. This song means so much to me. Your reaction and empathy means a lot. You have a big heart.
Wow, haven't heard this one before. She really is a very good song writer and performer. I love good story tellers. Loving everything I have heard from her so far. Very talented lady indeed. I have always appreciated the singer songwriters who are great storytellers. There isn't a lot of those left.
Her and Aurora are my favorite singers!
react to her tiny desk!
If you are enjoying her storytelling, then I hope you visit her and Luke Levinson's "Smoke" video and then the latest Tiny Desk she has just put out that might have you break the replay button. Thank you for sharing
I was thinking about this song and I love it so much. Yebba is such a beautiful storyteller and you're right there is a sense of comfort to the song, that has helped me in certain times of grief. The part when she begins singing a short chorus from Heart's "Alone" always touched me..... it brings that sense of nostalgia and memories. Beautiful reaction, thank you for being vulnerable and I hope you are well.
I get teary every time i listen to this song. But it is so beautiful... i can't stop listening. 💗 lots of love to you.
It is such a comforting song.. after getting over the shock/realisation during the song.. it does nothing less than provide comfort. Yebba is astounding in her story telling
I LOVE your raw and authentic reaction
So sorry needed
this is beautiful, your emotion
from Yebba's pain
P.S. Her 'Tiny Desk Concert'. (And you'll see her at her best if you react to her LIVE performances for she gives so much more!)
I've watched many reactions and heard the song countless times before, however, your genuine reaction brought out everything that I've been feeling about this song, and Yebba, in general regarding her mother. Thank you!
You are right. It is very emotional - yet understated. This is going on my playlist. Thank you for introducing me to her 💕
I think that this is my favorite song on Yebba's new album "Dawn". I really wish this live version was included as a bonus track, or released as a single, so that it could be streamed...
I wish Yebba could see this. Her music connects her heart to all of ours and it's made for people like you with the fine ability to tap into the subtlety of the message. So thank you ♥️
Please check out her NPR concert! She is one of the most incredible singer/storyteller out right now.
Incredible song.
:)
I cried with you 🫂
You have a new subscriber!
Even while singing a folck song she puts her groove and her voice so beautiful, this girl is an incredible magician, the fairies of soul music have leaned on her cradle
❤️🎶
Pleaseee can u react at her tiny desk 🙏🙏
Loved your response here to Yebba, who I hadn’t listened to in over a year. I get misty eyed everyday listening to music, and I know I’m not the only one, so you have lots of company in that regard. I also relate to your comment about simultaneous emotion and comfort. I may expand on this in the future, but for now: Rene Descartes said “Cogito, ergo, sum” - I say “I feel, therefore, I am”.
Anyway, ta, mate, for this video (I’m likely showing my ignorance here as ‘ta’ probably hasn’t been used in England since I left in 1969 (told you I’m old) after 3 years in High Wycombe in the USAir Force.
Thanks Judley..
Regarding the "ta" all I am gonna say is.. I dislike it when people say 'ta' around my daughter.. it is still used yeh 🤣
You are a good man. 💖💖💖
:)
Beatiful song :) I really love and feel this song. :):):)
You are pretty amazing. Thanks for this reaction. You have a beautiful journey of discovery ahead of you with this vocal and creative phenomenon. (I dare say genius). Her journey started with the video of her own song My mind and she lost her mother to suicide a week later. She has been processing this for five years and now her debut album has come out as well as her Tiny Desk Concert. Please check these out. As well as her numerous collaborations...so many.....and all are amazing.
Thanks Diana. I am looking forward to revisiting Yebba soon 😁
What an intense day, I can't talk anymore. I like Yebba. Thanks Brabs
Its about to get worse sorry!
@@DancingCoder what do you mean. let's cry more?
If you watching Yebba.. then...
I just read the lyrics and then a critique that popped up… you were spot on 👍 Now I want to hear more from her. The lyrics are great.
I literally just typed in "Yebba mother" and google popped up a paragraph and BOOM.. I was done 😢
@@DancingCoder Yes i know, i actually did the same after her first song. But i didnt want to mention it
I never picked up on it from My Mind, I was too impressed with her vocal in that one but it all make sense now
@@DancingCoder i listened to My Mind again after reading her story. But when you know, its so easy to say .. yes i can hear it. Perception isnt always straightforward
No not at all.. What a great song.. both of them in fact, but especially this one
Can you react to Evergreen by Yebba?
Thank you 💜
I thought I will come back to one song but there’s a few.... Blessed your soul! 🌸🌸. Is this the one you said it almost didn’t make a cut? I’m glad you didn’t throw it away. You are who you are 💜. This is my interpretation of the song. It’s quite a beautiful song. If you didn’t break the lyrics down I will not have pick the smallest details. I would have only noticed her story about a special person in her life. Once I found out it’s her mum, it’s even more special. It’s quite personal and she did a wonderful job. I think what she is trying to do is telling the story of her mum and it was a beautiful ones. Instead of focusing with the tragedy of what happened to her mum, she is focusing on the beautiful memories instead. I see so much love when she sing this and she is obviously has come to terms with her grieve so I will assume she sang this after quite some times had passed. It’s just seems perfect for me. It’s weird but I smiled while I watched this. So endearing. I just see her love for her mum. 🌹🌹
Hey Nix! Yes nearly binned this one because all this crying is embarrassing as eck! But Then I realised that the importance behind all this is too great to throw away.. so there it is
But yes, the song is very comforting.. It just shocked me what I saw online because of the vid from 2 days ago.
@@DancingCoder Amazing what the universe can do isn’t it! In a way, I’m glad I didn’t listened to this earlier. 🌸🌸
Indeed. Hope you've had a good day. Flower Hour was quiet today
@@DancingCoder that’s because I’m not there 😅. You have a good rest! Another long day for you.
can you react to yebba tiny desk
On the list :)
Thanks for posting this.. and always stay real🥰
💛 Thank you... and yeh as I said, I nearly didnt
@@DancingCoder You did right
