Please stop apologizing :) your videos are amazing and we love watching them. And the crying makes it even more special! Also, I looooove that you're genuinely happy with everything that you get. Rock on!!
You probably won’t ever see this comment but on the off chance that you do I just wanted to say that your efforts writing and sharing “Unhinged” were not a waste. I can only speak for myself but the lyrics are very relatable, your soulful singing touched my soul and spoke healing to me the moment I heard it. I really needed that.
I am also terrified of underwater and space and I never knew how to verbalize that thank you- but also so fascinated and sometimes I inject too much info about one or the other and don’t realize I am totally freaking out until it’s too late
Hi Elyse! I'm not normally a commenter, but I'm a huge fan of your authenticity and open-book take on life's struggles. I'm currently on my 46th run around the sun, and the more runs I go, the more I realize being emotional is who I am. I still get a twinge of discomfort from crying in front of others, but the more I do it, the more I begin to feel, "This is me. Deal with it, people." You should too! Just wanted to return the "you're-not-alone" vibe you give out to the world. Cry on, girl! Cry on! 😭😭😭
OMG, thank you for showing how to properly over-under a cable. You are 100% right that it’s the first lesson given to every intern. Watching you roll the cable under your elbow was making me *cringe* and then I really relaxed when you showed a proper over-under. Also, idk if those were actual C-414’s, but those are my favorite mics in the world. Keep going. You are amazing.
Holy hell yes. My first two days of audio engineering courses in college were literally just this, because my professor wanted to make sure we never did it wrong again. I am so thankful for that.
As the wife of an audio/video guy whom I regularly help on jobs, thank you for that lesson! I thought I sucked so badly at rolling up cables the way he said to because I'm a lefty - but he didn't ever show me the 1 turn of the cable, OR back handed positioning! He's going to be so impressed with my improved cord coiling skills! And don't date anyone in a band is advice I wish I could have given my younger self too :)
Elyse, I wanted to let you know I bought two sets of the Support Deck from the Odd Daughters Paper Company-one as a birthday gift to myself & one for my older daughter’s upcoming birthday. She visited yesterday. Loves them as do I. Highly recommend. True stories: she also picked, “Write a letter to your younger self” & loved that idea; plans to do. The 1st card I picked was “Start Moving/Exercising” (can’t recall which it states). 2nd card instructed me in what I knew was a yoga pose to lay on the floor with butt against wall & legs up against wall. I had to laugh so hard bc if I did that pose I’d have to call the paramedics to get me up off the floor since I’m severely physically debilitated & can’t push myself up from my knees after doing a position like that. I can barely move, except some minor physical therapy exercises mainly from bed. Definitely can’t exercise per se. Aside from those two cards w/the Universe taking aim at me, I checked out all the cards & learned some excellent techniques. My deck is beside me now so I can use when needed, which is often. Wrote to creators on social media giving you credit for your link. Katie was thrilled! BTW, when I gave my elder daughter her deck I needed to point out that she is not my “Odd Daughter” so she wouldn’t take offense. Actually she is, but in a good way 60% of the time-haha. Love that they include what each card does to help relieve stress & anxiety bc sometimes the card itself can leave you a wee baffled. TFS this deck. Have lots of decks but not this one, so many, many thanks to you & the Odd Daughters.
"I'm surprised I didn't cry," she says. I DID! TWICE!! For the letter to your younger self AND for the mic!!! Don't ever apologize for being genuine and fully feeling your emotions. It's beautiful! It truly helps some of us to let go a little and completely feel ours. I love your music. I love your sincerity. I love your gratitude. I love and admire your lack of filter. I love your versatility, range, and randomness. I love the whole, complete, full-brewed YOU! Keep doing what you love, because we love it too!
ME TOO!!! cried at both, something about the way she's just so authentically herself and a calming presence that just GETS IT makes me feel so seen and cry everytime
I know you probably put a lot of effort into this kind of content but it’s my favorite. Keep up the great work. It’s emotional, wildly entertaining (yes, even the cord wrapping), and it made my day. We all love you!
I wonder if future Elyse wrote a letter to you that the recording equipment is coming, you’ll have the sign you need! Beautiful video from a beautiful lady with beautiful gifts from beautiful people. And if anyone is still reading this - in case you haven’t been told today, you are beautiful inside and outside.
Cry when you need/want to! You are awesome and the fact that singing/songwriting brings YOU joy is enough of a reason to do it!!! *repeats to self with things that bring me joy
There is no need to apologize for being emotional and genuine. Also, I have been listening on repeat to your videos of the song you wrote that you referenced and you harmonizing to Chronically Cautious. They are both SO GOOD! Your singing voice is amazing.
I opened TH-cam to put on some classical music while I edit my novel, and then you and to go and DISTRACT me and make me CRY. You are the sweetest, Elyse.
Elyse, I have loved your content since one of my daughters sent me a link to an Instagram reel, but I had not seen your TH-cam content until today. When you began telling about songwriting, and how much it is a part of you, I cried along with you. I write poetry. I have spent years and years NOT writing, and burying the things that need to come out. So when the cork comes out, it is such a huge relief, and so important to share. Sing! You are a pure joy.
Make the art, make it for yourself, sing for yourself and your mental health. It’s worth it even if no one ever sees/hears it. Also cry as much as you feel to, it’s awesome.
Rolling XLR cables is the same way I was taught as a baby EMT to roll the ECG cables on the LP-12 cardiac monitor. After I became a paramedic I taught all my EMT partners that weren't already doing it this way, and every trainee that worked with. It *drastically* reduces the chances of cable tangles, and leaves the monitor leads ready to deploy without thinking about it when the seconds count the most.
Totally cried twice. Thinking about your internal dialogue around the recording equipment- if a friend had this conversation I bet all of us would fully support the repurchase of the equipment and support that as a soul filling activity. Yet with ourselves we dismiss. We need to be our own friends more! Happy for you.
I am DYING over your albums! I’ve loved your voice and had no idea of your background and you just casually mention it ….lol! I was like “wait, what?”, *paused video, looks up on Apple Music* Holy, what? Immediately downloaded every single recording! I am stunned. 😮 ❤️
Please don't apologise for crying. Your emotional response to things is unique to your life experiences and only you get to decide what's worth crying over. Also, I tend to tear up when I see other people happy-crying and I find it kinda hilarious that I'm shedding tears over someone I didn't know existed 24 hours ago getting gifted a mic.
GIRL I literally took today off because I wasn't feeling well and was watching your po box videos and then I come back to my regular feed and see this video 50 SECONDS AFTER IT WAS UPLOADED!!! This video has been divinely placed in my lap I will not be answering any questions thanks
Tears are a sign of an open heart and tears of JOY and GRATITUDE are spontaneous little buggers! 🤣 Sneaky devils. I love a good sign from the universe. Your voice is gorgeous. Go for it.
ELYSE!!!!! Omg. Lol. Sometimes I just keep you on in the background. So we can just hang out. Your TH-cam’s just go one into the other on auto. Today I was cleaning my bedroom and had you on. I was half listening because I was also vacuuming. I was done and unplugged the vacuum and the first thing I hear you say is “do you need to know how to roll up a cord?” As the cord is IN MY HAND!! 🤣🤣😂. Thanks for all you do and saying all the things we all think and all think we are alone.
Yay more fun unboxing please! How amazing that all of these people send you so many tremendous gifts and we get to share the fun 🥰 Awesome blanket and those NASA shirts… TOO COOL!
Another wonderful, fun video!!! Thank you for making this, Elyse! (man, the spot in your note to your younger self, "And it's probably confusing that a lot of the people that are telling you that right now are the people that are currently hurting you the most." hit d e e p.)
I'm still reeling from the fact that some of my most favorites like Brad Mondo, Neutrogena, Nasa, PetSmart and Jackcepticeye aka Sean McLoughlin products were all sent to this beautiful human being 😱😍. If I was ever gifted any of these things I would faint a million faints and probably squeak non-stop 🤣.
Ok, seriously I just laughed so hard I was crying all by myself in my dining room while watching you unbox the neutrogena bandana and flower 🌸 hair clip! I freaked love you! 😂😂😂❤❤
EVERYONE should learn how to properly over-under a cable. My Daddy, who ran sound, taught me when I was young. When I took recording classes (later switched to film and video degree), I was the one teaching folks to over-under. When I worked at a local PBS station, I taught the new ones. Then at an AV company, again teaching the new ones. Sharing the beauty that is a properly coiled cable should be done by all who possess the knowledge. My best is 450' of cable on one hand/arm. I just couldn't get that last stinkin' 50'. Thank you for spreading the cable gospel!!!!
You’ll never see this cause this video is so old. Dang it! I’ll say hey on a new one lol! I just had to comment on this video becaaaause: cord wrapping is a HUGE deal!! It sounds so dumb but really. Those are the things that get abused the most so take the 30 extra seconds to reverse handshake on em!! My hubby is an avionics training coordinator and cords are everywhere for him. He taught me! 🤓🤓 Also random thought for the video.. ya know when you just need a flashlight real quick and the best thing is to just flip your phone over so the video you just paused is your light? YOUR videos are PERFECT for this because they’re so bright. Because YOU are so bright. I’m so glad I found you!!! 🤗🤗🤗
Wow. Your letter to your younger self spoke directly to me. That’s exactly what I would want to say to myself too. Thank you so much for sharing that. 🙏
I love these videos!! It’s nice seeing people actually be authentic on the internet. I’d love to see a video of you learning how to use your new hair products from Brad Mondo and the other guy!
Trying to slowly take in and savor Elyse’s videos as I just found her a few months ago… but it is so hard to not binge watch them! What a slice of safe-place-heaven her channel [She] is. If only I could meet people like her in real life! I’m hopeful!
I’m SO glad you might record that song. It’s soooo good. I would absolutely love to own a full version on my phone. Seems like such a good sing at the top of your lungs in the car kind of song 😍
You said, "Sorry if I made it sad," but that "heavy" part was the moment I felt the most connected to you in the whole video (which I enjoyed all of, by the way). Thanks for sharing all of it, not just the "happy" feelings but all the deep feelings. I have a lot I should get done, but I might go write a letter to my younger self right now.
How many time you said wow while eating the chocolate coffee beans make me want to buy some now! It’s awesome to see your genuine reaction to things instead of a filtered one like a lot of people put out!
Cut AWAY from you Elyse... 😂 You say & do so many things that I swear we must have been separated at birth 💞 I've missed you my whole life!! Thank you for your content 🙌
Thank you for being so “you” and charming! I feel like I have a lot of similar traits as you and have always felt like I’m “a little much” and seeing you embrace that but also love yourself passionately and set boundaries from society has really helped me accept myself. I have been crying laughing through this, as your energy makes me feel like Im hanging with a dear friend. Keep being you. ❤
Where do I start.... I love the unboxing and your reactions 🎁💝 The letter to your younger self - thank you so much for sharing something so personal and real. I cried right along with you because I was a teen once and because once upon a time I had a teen daughter. I adore you for your authentic self. You are so genuine and that means so much in the world today as well as social platforms. I found you late maybe because I'm not on TicToc but I'm very glad I did. And I know so many people can relate to the song Unhinged. I've listened to it so many times - reminds me of that one guy 🙄 . Keep doing music 🎶. I hope you keep doing all of this. 💫
You are absolutely fierce, Elyse and I love watching all of your content!! As a fellow "cryer" I say cry away because you are so authentic and it's part of you and God I so hope you release "Unhinged" and anything else you feel moved to write, record, and release! Thank you for sharing!! 😊
I love this video. I cried twice, but enjoyed the video so much. I love how vulnerable you are and look forward to all your content. BTW, I'm a 57 year old recently widowed woman and you make me smile everyday.
As an audio engineer the cable wrapping tutorial made me so happy. Just came across you earlier today on insta and you just seem like such a wonderful and genuine person, I'm glad I found your content!
Thank you for rolling XLR cables! I have coiled up hundreds of cables in my career and have tried to teach people how to do it correctly! The reverse handshake was brilliant! How very lovely of that fellow to send you that mic and all of that equipment!
You definately need to record and release Maybe… after seeing the collab on FB I went searching for it on Spotify and was so bummed it wasn’t there BUT I found all your other music and promptly fell in love with it all. We are having our vow renewals and we have picked one of your songs to walk down the aisle to… so THANK YOU! You had the words and the music when I couldn’t find it by anyone else. Please keep singing. Your voice is magic.
I love your content so much, especially these longer videos! You made me laugh, cry, laugh, and cry again, and taught me how to roll a cord! 😆 And anything that makes you happy is worth doing! Your joy in singing comes through so much, even in the little snippets on Instagram ❤
I can't even tell you how much finding you has really inspired me in life. I saw one of your shorts on Instagram one day and I laughed my ass off. So I followed you. And now this is the first TH-cam video I've watched of yours, and I laughed my ass off. But I also cried with you. Because I know what it's like to receive a sign like that and it can be overwhelming. I think what you are doing is 100% what you are supposed to be doing, and you should 100% share your music with the world because you are great at it. I'm not just a stranger telling you this to make you feel good about yourself. I'm an outsider seeing someone with the same insecurities as myself that needs to hear that they are good enough. DO IT GIRL DO IT! I am rooting for you and so are a bunch of other people!!!
You are amazing. I have definitely gone through something similar. I had lived somewhere for 10 years writing and playing music but when I moved away I stopped and it was like I was trying to rediscover who I was without my music. Only to realize that the music has always been a part of me and it will always be apart in me. There is no one way to live in this world. Everyone gets to choose the path we take. Keep living your truth and live in what makes you happy. I relate to so much that you talk about, I love your sense of humor. Thank you for crying and being your authentic self. You are rad! That is all.
I think anything that makes you a happier, more confident version of yourself is worth every amount of energy it takes. 💙 From one mama with intrusive thoughts to another, you got this!!
as a mom I felt that Neutrogena bottle hug so hard my toddler has stolen every bottle i own. The way you clung on to the water bottle and said "this isn't going anywhere"! May tiny hands never find their way to that bottle and lay claim 🙏
Aaaand I just watched the last of the video, and you telling about leaving a part of yourself in Sydney had me bawling 😭😭😭😭 well.. I think I have some unhealed trauma to investigate and unpack 😮💨😆🤡 Just wanted to let you know that you are amazing, and I hope that you continue down this sing/songwriter path that you’re on! ❤️🔥🫶
Oh PLEASE move forward with that song!!! Since you came out with the original clip, it randomly comes to me and makes me so happy!! 😊💛 Also, never apologise for sharing emotions. ❤️
I'm so bad at describing things, but you and all the content you create fills my heart ❤️ . Also, I ugly laugh all the time watching! Definitely when you said "shepherds wife"! That's my kind of funny! Laughing is the best kind of bandaid for the soul.
There’s a lot happening right now and sometimes a good laugh feels like a deep breath. I’m so glad that my videos allow you a brain break and a help make you laugh!!
So glad you got the SIGN!!!! I really hope you do record that song!!💙🎶💙🎶💙. It is worth it! YOU are worth it. Thank you for sharing your voice and music with us all!!
Please stop apologizing :) your videos are amazing and we love watching them. And the crying makes it even more special! Also, I looooove that you're genuinely happy with everything that you get. Rock on!!
Thank you so much for being here!!!
“I shouldn’t cry this much” No Elyse you should! Keep being your authentic self because the world needs it! ❤️
“Avoid dating anyone in a band” 😂 best advice ever to younger self 🙌🏽
You probably won’t ever see this comment but on the off chance that you do I just wanted to say that your efforts writing and sharing “Unhinged” were not a waste. I can only speak for myself but the lyrics are very relatable, your soulful singing touched my soul and spoke healing to me the moment I heard it. I really needed that.
Does she think it was a waste? I hope not. I absolutely love that song. I’m sure everyone else does too.❤
I am also terrified of underwater and space and I never knew how to verbalize that thank you- but also so fascinated and sometimes I inject too much info about one or the other and don’t realize I am totally freaking out until it’s too late

Lol!! Watching back made me cringe too! Hahaha
Holy hell yes. My first two days of audio engineering courses in college were literally just this, because my professor wanted to make sure we never did it wrong again. I am so thankful for that.
Agreed…Thank you for putting out the good word and saving peoples cables!
As the wife of an audio/video guy whom I regularly help on jobs, thank you for that lesson! I thought I sucked so badly at rolling up cables the way he said to because I'm a lefty - but he didn't ever show me the 1 turn of the cable, OR back handed positioning! He's going to be so impressed with my improved cord coiling skills! And don't date anyone in a band is advice I wish I could have given my younger self too :)
Is the cable rolling thing just meant for that type of cable, or does it apply to all cables, like phone/laptop chargers etc?
I love unboxing videos! You got your sign! I learned how to roll a chord! You will always have perfect hair! We are winning!
Bawling like a baby from listening to your letter while I am working..... Love you, Elyse!
The font in the ADHD book is for people with dyslexia. That's so cool!
Thanks, I am the author. Family full of neurodivergents, including myself, so this was important.
@@pattydedurr9288 honored to see your text. Thank you from the bottom of my heart that you wrote a serious book about this. God bless.
Elyse, I wanted to let you know I bought two sets of the Support Deck from the Odd Daughters Paper Company-one as a birthday gift to myself & one for my older daughter’s upcoming birthday. She visited yesterday. Loves them as do I. Highly recommend.

When you read the letter to your younger self, I was saying “I’m not crying, you are!” 🤣🤣🤣 So happy I found your youtube. I love it! ♥️♥️♥️
Totally cried. And then imagined writing my own letters and IMMEDIATELY boxed that up in a container and packed it away.
I know you probably put a lot of effort into this kind of content but it’s my favorite. Keep up the great work. It’s emotional, wildly entertaining (yes, even the cord wrapping), and it made my day. We all love you!

You make my day! Thank you for just being your authentic self. You are inspiring! Shine on friend.♥️
You are fantastic!!! Keep being yourself!! Don’t let anyone get you down!
It is a raw talent to be able to invoke happy tears. I really appreciate that your videos do this for me. (Hand on heart) thank you 💛
If it makes you feel how your feeling right now, it’s the right thing to do. You know how to set boundaries too.
I opened TH-cam to put on some classical music while I edit my novel, and then you and to go and DISTRACT me and make me CRY. You are the sweetest, Elyse.

This is so wholesome and you're so wholesome and YES PLEASE pursue the songwriting, your song was stuck in my head for like 2 weeks and I love it
ELYSE!!!!! Omg. Lol. Sometimes I just keep you on in the background. So we can just hang out. Your TH-cam’s just go one into the other on auto. Today I was cleaning my bedroom and had you on. I was half listening because I was also vacuuming. I was done and unplugged the vacuum and the first thing I hear you say is “do you need to know how to roll up a cord?” As the cord is IN MY HAND!! 🤣🤣😂.

Yay more fun unboxing please! How amazing that all of these people send you so many tremendous gifts and we get to share the fun 🥰 Awesome blanket and those NASA shirts… TOO COOL!
The knife got me every time haha and I love that you knew it would
I know you well 😂❤️
Jonas, please buy her a slice safety cutter. She is a national treasure and we must protect her at all costs.
You are awesome and I love your videos. You are sweet and relatable and I just love your energy!
Another wonderful, fun video!!! Thank you for making this, Elyse!
(man, the spot in your note to your younger self, "And it's probably confusing that a lot of the people that are telling you that right now are the people that are currently hurting you the most." hit d e e p.)
Elyse, never stop pursuing your music passion!
That song you referenced that you wrote "unhinged" literally changed my life. You're amazing girl
You are amazing and I love watching your videos! Also thankful for the tutorial on how to roll a cable. I did not know that!
You are such a gift to this world and to my life! Thank you for showing up as exactly who you are. We love you! 😭
Girl...chills @ 17:50 The universe has spoken❤️
Totally gonna use to cord rolling technique for our cords that go with the van! 😆🚐 thanks! Also, LOVE these unboxing videos!
adhd and music are a mach made in heaven...GOD GAVE YOU SUCH A AMAZING GIFT...you are so amazing! i love the longer videos too :)
I absolutely LOVE watching your unboxing videos! Keep making them! They make me happy too! 🥰
There is nothing more soulful than seeing brown eyes cry ❤
I'm still reeling from the fact that some of my most favorites like Brad Mondo, Neutrogena, Nasa, PetSmart and Jackcepticeye aka Sean McLoughlin products were all sent to this beautiful human being 😱😍. If I was ever gifted any of these things I would faint a million faints and probably squeak non-stop 🤣.
Ok, seriously I just laughed so hard I was crying all by myself in my dining room while watching you unbox the neutrogena bandana and flower 🌸 hair clip!
I freaked love you! 😂😂😂❤❤

Love the open!!! Exactly how it goes with working in video production.
Over under!
Wow. Your letter to your younger self spoke directly to me. That’s exactly what I would want to say to myself too. Thank you so much for sharing that. 🙏
I love these videos!! It’s nice seeing people actually be authentic on the internet. I’d love to see a video of you learning how to use your new hair products from Brad Mondo and the other guy!
I just discovered "Unhinged" a few weeks ago and my echolalia is very attached to it. What a great little tune!
Trying to slowly take in and savor Elyse’s videos as I just found her a few months ago… but it is so hard to not binge watch them! What a slice of safe-place-heaven her channel [She] is. If only I could meet people like her in real life! I’m hopeful!
The letter to yourself made me cry, beautiful beautiful beautiful❤
Love all your content, but these longer TH-cam videos are my favorite! ❤️
Your letter to your younger self... oh my gosh... tears. So good. Just so, so good. ❤️
I’m SO glad you might record that song. It’s soooo good. I would absolutely love to own a full version on my phone. Seems like such a good sing at the top of your lungs in the car kind of song 😍
When my arm rest got loose, I moved the sofa into a corner so the arm ‘rested’ against a wall. Time is precious and every video is a gift. Thank you.
You said, "Sorry if I made it sad," but that "heavy" part was the moment I felt the most connected to you in the whole video (which I enjoyed all of, by the way). Thanks for sharing all of it, not just the "happy" feelings but all the deep feelings. I have a lot I should get done, but I might go write a letter to my younger self right now.
How many time you said wow while eating the chocolate coffee beans make me want to buy some now! It’s awesome to see your genuine reaction to things instead of a filtered one like a lot of people put out!
Cut AWAY from you Elyse... 😂
You say & do so many things that I swear we must have been separated at birth 💞
I've missed you my whole life!!
Thank you for your content 🙌
Thank you for being so “you” and charming! I feel like I have a lot of similar traits as you and have always felt like I’m “a little much” and seeing you embrace that but also love yourself passionately and set boundaries from society has really helped me accept myself. I have been crying laughing through this, as your energy makes me feel like Im hanging with a dear friend. Keep being you. ❤
Brad Mondo is amazing! I love how one minute I'm watching blacksmithing and the next, Brad reacting to bleach fails!
Where do I start.... I love the unboxing and your reactions 🎁💝 The letter to your younger self - thank you so much for sharing something so personal and real. I cried right along with you because I was a teen once and because once upon a time I had a teen daughter. I adore you for your authentic self. You are so genuine and that means so much in the world today as well as social platforms. I found you late maybe because I'm not on TicToc but I'm very glad I did. And I know so many people can relate to the song Unhinged. I've listened to it so many times - reminds me of that one guy 🙄 . Keep doing music 🎶. I hope you keep doing all of this. 💫
You are absolutely fierce, Elyse and I love watching all of your content!! As a fellow "cryer" I say cry away because you are so authentic and it's part of you and God I so hope you release "Unhinged" and anything else you feel moved to write, record, and release! Thank you for sharing!! 😊
It is a sign!! Keep up with the music! I LOVE watching you open boxes. A longer version of TT on TH-cam is my favorite 🥰😘
I love this video. I cried twice, but enjoyed the video so much. I love how vulnerable you are and look forward to all your content. BTW, I'm a 57 year old recently widowed woman and you make me smile everyday.
As an audio engineer the cable wrapping tutorial made me so happy. Just came across you earlier today on insta and you just seem like such a wonderful and genuine person, I'm glad I found your content!
I’m so grateful you’re here!!! And YASSSS your approval of the tutorial makes me so happy hahaha
“I don’t know if you guys like these or not” Answer: We like them 😁💙
I discovered this week that you have also an youtube channel. Binge watching every time I have to wash the dishes. Thank you for the videos
Your vulnerability is so beautiful. You're such a gift. And yes to more music. Do all the things you love. (And I'll try and take my own advice x)
This cord rolling thing is super helpful. I have a band and we have ALOT of cords!😅
Might’ve cried with you listening to your story on needing a sign! Also, that letter to your younger self ❤️. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for rolling XLR cables! I have coiled up hundreds of cables in my career and have tried to teach people how to do it correctly! The reverse handshake was brilliant!
How very lovely of that fellow to send you that mic and all of that equipment!
OMG ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ as an audio engineer my heart is so happy to see someone know over under and preach it!!!! You go
I love your videos. Making us cry with you is a precious gift.
You definately need to record and release Maybe… after seeing the collab on FB I went searching for it on Spotify and was so bummed it wasn’t there BUT I found all your other music and promptly fell in love with it all. We are having our vow renewals and we have picked one of your songs to walk down the aisle to… so THANK YOU! You had the words and the music when I couldn’t find it by anyone else. Please keep singing. Your voice is magic.
I love your content so much, especially these longer videos! You made me laugh, cry, laugh, and cry again, and taught me how to roll a cord! 😆
And anything that makes you happy is worth doing! Your joy in singing comes through so much, even in the little snippets on Instagram ❤
I can't even tell you how much finding you has really inspired me in life. I saw one of your shorts on Instagram one day and I laughed my ass off. So I followed you. And now this is the first TH-cam video I've watched of yours, and I laughed my ass off. But I also cried with you. Because I know what it's like to receive a sign like that and it can be overwhelming. I think what you are doing is 100% what you are supposed to be doing, and you should 100% share your music with the world because you are great at it. I'm not just a stranger telling you this to make you feel good about yourself. I'm an outsider seeing someone with the same insecurities as myself that needs to hear that they are good enough. DO IT GIRL DO IT! I am rooting for you and so are a bunch of other people!!!
You are such a joy. Watching you navigate these experiences is truly inspiring and exciting to witness
You are amazing. I have definitely gone through something similar. I had lived somewhere for 10 years writing and playing music but when I moved away I stopped and it was like I was trying to rediscover who I was without my music. Only to realize that the music has always been a part of me and it will always be apart in me. There is no one way to live in this world. Everyone gets to choose the path we take. Keep living your truth and live in what makes you happy. I relate to so much that you talk about, I love your sense of humor. Thank you for crying and being your authentic self.
You are rad! That is all.
Yes! I wore the bandanas as a kid. So cool!
I think anything that makes you a happier, more confident version of yourself is worth every amount of energy it takes. 💙 From one mama with intrusive thoughts to another, you got this!!
I love your unboxing videos! 💜
as a mom I felt that Neutrogena bottle hug so hard my toddler has stolen every bottle i own.
The way you clung on to the water bottle and said "this isn't going anywhere"! May tiny hands never find their way to that bottle and lay claim 🙏
I discovered Elys makes long videos yesterday and now it is my favourite thing on the internet ❤
Omg thats so awesome. I literally cried with you. Amazing how God or the universe whatever you want to call it works like that. Thats so amazing!
You’re doing the right things! All the right things. Glad you received the sign you needed.
I’m also surprised you didn’t cry making/reading that note to yourself.. I did (because of your note that is!)😮💨 You are amazing Elyse! ❤️🔥
Aaaand I just watched the last of the video, and you telling about leaving a part of yourself in Sydney had me bawling 😭😭😭😭 well.. I think I have some unhealed trauma to investigate and unpack 😮💨😆🤡
Just wanted to let you know that you are amazing, and I hope that you continue down this sing/songwriter path that you’re on! ❤️🔥🫶
Oh PLEASE move forward with that song!!! Since you came out with the original clip, it randomly comes to me and makes me so happy!! 😊💛
Also, never apologise for sharing emotions. ❤️
elyse i love these long videos! i feel like we get to see so much more of your personality, which is great because you are INCREDIBLE!! 🥰🥰
the cord advice just blew my mind.... thank you.
I'm so bad at describing things, but you and all the content you create fills my heart ❤️ . Also, I ugly laugh all the time watching! Definitely when you said "shepherds wife"! That's my kind of funny! Laughing is the best kind of bandaid for the soul.
There’s a lot happening right now and sometimes a good laugh feels like a deep breath. I’m so glad that my videos allow you a brain break and a help make you laugh!!
Please keep doing these! They are so raw and real.
Space and the Sea are very terrifying places but so very gorgeous and serene at the same time
So glad you got the SIGN!!!! I really hope you do record that song!!💙🎶💙🎶💙. It is worth it! YOU are worth it. Thank you for sharing your voice and music with us all!!
Really like that your prioritizing your family/life and having a healthy boundary for yourself with working! You are doing a great job
