I’m fine with melody, but when you’re focusing to much on technique, especially with a song this vocally challenging, sometimes I need lyrics unless I’ve done it a bunch of times
Lizzy's dad passed away right as her career was taking off, just like Yebba's mom did. She must be able to relate to Yebba in that way, and that expression shows through beautifully here.
This is almost a religious experience. The combination of Lizzy’s effortless accuracy and expression with Yebba’s haunting lyrics and chords - all backed by this tight group playing with such self discipline - it just leaves me speechless. Bravo.
@@carabuse7042 i think she said she dropped out because of covid. Not being able to meet with fellow students (=musicians she can make music with), losing these people and attending only on online classes seemed pointless to her.
I know what u mean because Yebba has a tonal quality that is unmistakable and i think she sings from a deeper level. But i agree. This was great and didnt feel copycat nor too different than the original.
no doubt about it, Lizzy nailed this Yebba tune note for note which is impressive by itself. What's more impressive is how she made it her own. Her dynamic sensibility here is second to none. Stories does it again! Hats off to the band and to Lizzy!
She's so unassuming looking and her performances are usually understated but she let's out just the perfect little flips, runs or slides that make your hair stand up.
Lord have mercy, this is UNREAL. I cannot believe someone even came close to matching Yebba's greatness on this song, but WOAH. Hats off to you, Lizzy!
The singer is as precise and technical as talented. Awesome performance. And looking her phone… so not sure about the lyrics ? How confident about her voice she must be ! Thanks all of you.
Yeah, I expect she was reviewing the lyrics since most of these productions (Scary Pockets, Pomplamoose and Stories ) are done in one day. So there's not a lot of time to learn a new song.
As someone who cannot remember lyrics to save my life, I sympathize with her. I suspect it was the rapid turnaround of these songs that made her use it, but plenty of singers still use teleprompters when playing to 20,000 fans in a stadium. Elton John, Paul McCartney, Axl Rose, Jon Bon Jovi.... all have used them for songs they've been singing for decades.
In my 18 years of watching TH-cam videos, this is the first one to compel me to leave a comment. That was a breathtaking performance with a phenomenal display of vocal mastery.
Lizzy truly made this Yebba cover her own! Her unique spin and insane vocals took it to a whole new level. And don't even get me started on the band - they were spot on. Such a killer performance, can't stop replaying it!
@1:29 Makes me cry so hard. My mother died of brain disease. The last thing she said to me was "Have you seen my son?" I never got a chance to say goodbye.
This song is amazing - most people today don't recognize what an interesting harmony and melody can do on its own, everyone is obsessed with timbre and sound, dialing in their VST-Plugins and forgetting what it means to make music in the moment and most of all together. The modulations in the verse, the lydian melody in the chorus are so beautiful you can't even put it into words. And yet, there's a trusty V-vi-IV-I at the end and it works, because it's not the whole song, repeating for 3 minutes over and over and over until you fall asleep. And on top of that, then there's the sound - skilled, dedicated musicians, playing live and uncut in the same room will never get old. Music is not dead, just because advertising, movies and TikTok promote only dumbed down 3 minute loops with forgettable melodies - it's well and alive, thanks to institutions like Scary Pockets, stories, Vulf, Main Squeeze etc. What a time to be alive.
So eloquently put, I completely agree! Especially with the trusty progression at the end. There are so many conflicting emotions in the song and having that stability at the end hits harder for that exact reason in my opinion.
Wow like wow...she did it major justice! Didn't even feel like a cover but did at the same time. She took her time, made it her own but still kept Yebbas feel & Essence which is NO EASY FEAT! 10/10 Lizzy 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Yebbas album is completly and utterly insane and so are lizzy's vocals. shes the only person i can think of rn that would do justice to what yebbas transmiting in these songs
Think this is the best Yebba cover I’ve heard, ever. Lizzy definitely nailed it, and also made it her own which made the whole performance even more impressive! Incredible.
Good lord I just got chills all over. I can't believe this doesn't even have 1k views yet! Lotta people don't know what they're missing. Great playing by all musicians and heavenly singing.
Lizzie just kills this. It’s sublime. But the accompaniment is just so sensitive and beautiful- especially the subtlety of the piano which can sometimes overwhelm in an acoustic setting. The whole thing is exquisite.
2:14 The looks on the guitarist's face when as he hears Lizzy do her runs and realizes that he is in the company of a musical genius. Love, love, love her and this cover of the song.
I've watched this video a few times and for some reason TH-cam keeps recommending it to me/showing it at the end of other videos that aren't even related. Not complaining. The universe just wants me to experience this over and over again.
I'm on the next level when my mind recommends me parts of this song completely randomly, even in dreams... :D (I've experienced it with a few songs in the past, but not many... like My Gift of Silence by Blackfield or Deprived by Riverside or Drugged Suite by Bass Communion)
at the very end did someone sneeze? I love that they used this take anyway because Lizzy's laughter is wonderful. Just an incredible performance by everyone. Bravo!
Never heard the song before. Can up on a random playlist and listening to those runs made me think “YEBBA”. To my surprise …What a great cover by Lizzy!
this took genuine bravery. but if there's anything i love about her attitude, it's the willingness to put out into the world whatever will be of a moment. i mean those moments from her are always winners no matter. goodnesswow this is just the gift that '22 needed. i was actually just yesterday trying to think of what lizzy tuneage to show this yebba-loving friend that'd be sure to be appreciated. what kismet this appeared today. brilliance.
Lizzy why do you laugh ? Such grace in your singing actually makes me wanna cry !!! What an astonishing performance ! All the best to all of you guys from France !
Have been coming back regularly since this came out. Still for me it‘s the best cover Lizzy has done so far… and she‘s moving farther on… what a voice! 🌻
I love yebba and the Song Paranoia Purple - and GUUUUURRRLLL you sang like - oh my goood! your voice is like a warm blanket in a cold winterday. Hearthealing! Beautiful , soooooo beautiful!! Thank you!!
After hearing this, and seeling all the comments about Yebba, I thought I'd check out the origina. I like this better tbh. But then there's something about Lizzys voice that just grips me and will not let go.
i have only found out who she is by my love of yebba and i am just shook tbh at first i was like nooooo not a yebba cover then i was like oh my GOD a yebba cover, the softness of her voice with this song is like almost haunting im obssesed off to watch more of her
it’s sung from the perspective of yebba’s mom in the lead up to her killing herself the song has clips from personal voice memos and even a voicemail from her mom in it. the sounds in this cover are really beautiful but, the song is about as personal as a song could ever possibly be
My friend introduced me to Lizzy McAlpine through NPR's Tiny Desk. Then she send me Yebba's set as well. I fell in love with both artists work. This is a cross-over I didn't expect 😂
her reading the lyrics off of her phone but recreating nearly every note of every run perfectly is so funny to me
LOL was just thinking this
I’m fine with melody, but when you’re focusing to much on technique, especially with a song this vocally challenging, sometimes I need lyrics unless I’ve done it a bunch of times
I memorize runs way before lyrics so I understand lol
It's just a map, she's driving in full control but feels comfortable checking a few waypoints.
It could also be queue points / bar spacings and other reminders helping her to deliver it perfectly. Musicians annotate their sheets all the time.
Lizzy's dad passed away right as her career was taking off, just like Yebba's mom did. She must be able to relate to Yebba in that way, and that expression shows through beautifully here.
If I had a voice this good, I WOULD NEVER SHUT UP
This is almost a religious experience. The combination of Lizzy’s effortless accuracy and expression with Yebba’s haunting lyrics and chords - all backed by this tight group playing with such self discipline - it just leaves me speechless. Bravo.
With the riffs definitely
The ultimate performance
This. Is. Incredible. To be able to cover Yebba AND make it sound this good is a feat. I feel like we need a Yebba + Lizzy collab now.
i have a feeling lizzy would kill to make that happen :’)
ASAP okay
She graduated from Berklee for a reason, folks. Rising star. Found her during the pandemic and haven't stopped listening.
Pretty sure she dropped out of Berklee due to her success
@@carabuse7042 i think she said she dropped out because of covid. Not being able to meet with fellow students (=musicians she can make music with), losing these people and attending only on online classes seemed pointless to her.
@@asdfhun yes
I have mixed feelings about people covering Yebba. To me at least, she’s a singularity. However, this is excellent
I hesitate to speak for Ms. McAlpine, but I'm sure she somewhat agrees. She's in awe of Yebba too. )
I agree but she did a beautiful job. It’s sounds so haunting in this version 🙌🏽
I would really much like to like this comment, but the universe commands that it stays at 69 likes indefinetly.

I agree

Right 100% agree
I’ve been obsessed with this song since it came out and I didn’t think anyone would be able to cover it but here we are
exact same reaction. such a strong cover of an insanely difficult song
LIZZY COVERING YEBBA WITH ARIEL POSEN AND RYAN AND DAVE HOLY SHIEEEET
Masters of their craft😊
Indeed
RIGHT?!?!?!
And only today you can sit with a phone and read the words from it and still be so amazing
Lizzy McAlpine and stories perfectly fit together.
She's so unassuming looking and her performances are usually understated but she let's out just the perfect little flips, runs or slides that make your hair stand up.
man that shit is fucking difficult to pull off and she does it with ease! what a beast of a vocal!!!
i never stop thinking about this cover
Lord have mercy, this is UNREAL. I cannot believe someone even came close to matching Yebba's greatness on this song, but WOAH. Hats off to you, Lizzy!
The perfection of her runs in the last minute of this drive me MAD... I mean this entire thing is maddening. Gosh!!!
The singer is as precise and technical as talented. Awesome performance. And looking her phone… so not sure about the lyrics ? How confident about her voice she must be ! Thanks all of you.
Yeah, I expect she was reviewing the lyrics since most of these productions (Scary Pockets, Pomplamoose and Stories ) are done in one day. So there's not a lot of time to learn a new song.
It’s lizzy

Could be a chatroom she's looking at if it was livestreamed to patrons. Don't know if it was.
@@dankymatters838 That would be too distracting, not to mention very unprofessional and tacky. Lyrics or other notes on the song are more likely.
Vocal virtuosity. She’s incredible. Unbelievably beautiful tone, control, delicacy. World class. I love, love, love her.
In my 18 years of watching TH-cam videos, this is the first one to compel me to leave a comment.
That was a breathtaking performance with a phenomenal display of vocal mastery.
100% agree 😲
18 years?
@@lucaswallo8127 TH-cam went online in February 2005....
Absolutely!
Ryan's pride is so heart-warming, and his smile makes me weak in the knees. Lizzy is insanely talented!
Lizzy truly made this Yebba cover her own! Her unique spin and insane vocals took it to a whole new level. And don't even get me started on the band - they were spot on. Such a killer performance, can't stop replaying it!
0:58 gorgeous run 😮 that was only the first of many gorgeous and melodic runs
Yeah this gave me chills multiple times. Lizzy dropped the mic on this one.
When she goes "Say now"
Lizzy is a gift that just keeps on giving! Love her voice!
@1:29 Makes me cry so hard. My mother died of brain disease. The last thing she said to me was "Have you seen my son?" I never got a chance to say goodbye.
Ryan said he was listening to Lizzy Mcalpine recently in the professional musicians react and since I haven't stopped listening..
Lizzy once again killing her performance

You known it's gonna be good when Ryan and Lizzy are involved :D
Damn...she absolutely nailed some extremely challenging vocals.
The way the guitarist looking at her is like he's in the presence of pure light ❤
The laughter at the end is everything. But so is everything that comes before. Damn.
I am Ryan Lerman's facial expressions when I watch/listen to this. Gorgeous.
this is so good. she has so much control over her voice.
Lizzy is about to blow up in a big way and she deserves every bit of it. The musicality oozing from this woman is just insane.
Wow like wow...she did it major justice! Didn't even feel like a cover but did at the same time. She took her time, made it her own but still kept Yebbas feel & Essence which is NO EASY FEAT! 10/10 Lizzy 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

this is the best yebba cover I’ve ever heard
the fact she did this sitting down as well.
Good lord I just got chills all over. I can't believe this doesn't even have 1k views yet! Lotta people don't know what they're missing. Great playing by all musicians and heavenly singing.
Don't mind me. Just Thumbs Upping all of your positive comments
Aaaah, you guys wanna kill me? This is too good! TOO GOOD! She's at the same time herself as she's channeling Yebba herself.
Lizzie just kills this. It’s sublime. But the accompaniment is just so sensitive and beautiful- especially the subtlety of the piano which can sometimes overwhelm in an acoustic setting. The whole thing is exquisite.

Lizzy! I hope you're ready to be recognized whenever you go out, because you are about to BLOW UP! What an amazing voice.
I’ve listened to this more than any other song in 20yrs. This is such an incredibly moving performance. My soul thanks you.
Not my favorite singer covering my other favorite singer- Best day ever
X2 🙌🏻
at the very end did someone sneeze? I love that they used this take anyway because Lizzy's laughter is wonderful. Just an incredible performance by everyone. Bravo!
I listened to this before, but it's even cooler to see it. Wonderful performance. Everything Lizzy does is awesome.
Seeing how much the guitarist enjoys the music is everything
Never heard the song before. Can up on a random playlist and listening to those runs made me think “YEBBA”. To my surprise …What a great cover by Lizzy!
She’s definitely on repeat!! And her rifts 😩😩 and her soft tone. Yes mam 💕💕
I love how these guys can get people like Ariel Posen to sit in on a session like nbd. Amazing music.
Oh, it's a big deal 😭
This is a masterpiece. In so many levels.... Voice, technique, arrangement, feeling, instrumentals, sound, ATMOSPHERE,...OMG
That outro ALWAYS compels me to tears, both on the original and this cover! Well done Lizzy and stories
ALWAYS!!
Have you heard Yebba’s version from Electric Lady studios? Allegedly she mixes the end with an unfinished song called Howling. Mindblowingly gorgeous
Yebba is number one but this singer is fantastic.
As a staunch YEBBA listener and someone who doesn’t usually enjoy anyone who covers her songs, you ate this upppp 😩
this took genuine bravery. but if there's anything i love about her attitude, it's the willingness to put out into the world whatever will be of a moment. i mean those moments from her are always winners no matter.
goodnesswow this is just the gift that '22 needed. i was actually just yesterday trying to think of what lizzy tuneage to show this yebba-loving friend that'd be sure to be appreciated. what kismet this appeared today. brilliance.
Lizzy why do you laugh ? Such grace in your singing actually makes me wanna cry !!! What an astonishing performance ! All the best to all of you guys from France !
Beautiful! Not many people can pull off a Yebba cover. But, then again..not many people can keep up with Jacob Collier..you’re amazing!! 😍
Have been coming back regularly since this came out. Still for me it‘s the best cover Lizzy has done so far… and she‘s moving farther on… what a voice! 🌻
I love yebba and the Song Paranoia Purple - and GUUUUURRRLLL you sang like - oh my goood! your voice is like a warm blanket in a cold winterday. Hearthealing!
Beautiful , soooooo beautiful!! Thank you!!
Lizzy did Yebba and this song such justice. It’s so soothing to listen to her voice and talent shine thru on this cover. Bravo.
this cover really does yebba justice! well done lizzy
Oh this is smooth like butter! Yebba posted this version one of my favorite songs on the album. Beautiful song and beautiful rendition!
i listened to the first 3 bars 10 times in a row. wow. such an elegant modulation.
The vocal control Lizzy has is incredible - love listening to covers like this, a real inspiration!
Hundreds of fantastic Stories covers - and I have listened and loved them all. But this one is just another level for me...sublime.
After hearing this, and seeling all the comments about Yebba, I thought I'd check out the origina. I like this better tbh.
But then there's something about Lizzys voice that just grips me and will not let go.
I wish I could like this for every time I watch it
The laugh at the very end was pretty dang heart-warming
There are no words to describe how amazing this is ❤
Thank you to whomever wrote this song so that we could hear Lizzy and the fellas perform it.
Saw a clip on yebba ig, had to come listen to the full thing. 🔥
The softness of her voice is unreal ❤❤ so nice
i have only found out who she is by my love of yebba and i am just shook tbh at first i was like nooooo not a yebba cover then i was like oh my GOD a yebba cover, the softness of her voice with this song is like almost haunting im obssesed off to watch more of her
Holy shit! That was so musically interesting and captivating at the same time, great stuff Ryan, please keep doing these
Instrumental for singers on my ch 🙌🏽 (I adore this song!)
2:18 - 2:28 is just amazing
That was a master class in unison tension.
Damn, she killed it.
Thank you for introducing me to Yebba.
Check out Yebbas Tiny Desk
THE ACCURACY THO..... LIZZY U ARE TOO AMAZING ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥
This is a masterpiece
what the heck! how did I only just find this. What a beautiful performance xxxx
I don´t know the original but now I am afraid to listen to it... but I will.
It’s good lol
this is a killer cover no doubt, but the original is def solid and just... it’s genuine in a way that no one’s cover is ever going to be
it’s sung from the perspective of yebba’s mom in the lead up to her killing herself
the song has clips from personal voice memos and even a voicemail from her mom in it. the sounds in this cover are really beautiful but, the song is about as personal as a song could ever possibly be
I discovered Yebba because of this and I wasn't disappointed.
This is just absolute madly magic oh my god. Since the first day I listen to Lizzy sing I’m a huge, huge fan ❤
One of the greatest vocals I’ve ever heard. Lizzy forever!
A second guitar showing up panned right followed by the ariel posen reveal was so great
One of the most beautiful performances I have ever heard… and it was all recorded live!
OMG!!! That must be what angels sound like.❤❤❤❤
This cover of Lizzy Mcalpine is simply magical. What a voice and feeling. Congratulations
This is alsolutely incredible. I have never heard Lizzy Alpine sing in this style and I am utterly in shock. Chills
My friend introduced me to Lizzy McAlpine through NPR's Tiny Desk.
Then she send me Yebba's set as well. I fell in love with both artists work.
This is a cross-over I didn't expect 😂
I don't think I've ever heard anything more beautiful than this
Lizzy, you remind me of the first time I heard Eva Cassidy. Life changing.
Thank you Yebba and thank you Lizzy.
