I'm a 55 year old classic rocker, and I've watched AT LEAST 50 different reactions to this song, as well as her singing "Evergreen." I've teared up many times watching this. Her ability to emote while retaining absolute control over her voice is just astounding.
I guess we differ on opinions about beauty. From the first moment I saw Yebba, I thought, "What a lovely lady." Her voice made it even more so. Incredible, emotive voice. :)
I think Yabba is beautiful and her voice is incredible. Also external beauty has nothing to do with being someone who could be cheated on…I know of plenty of strikingly “beautiful” women who were cheated on by their less attractive partners.
Thanks for sharing guys. I don't know anyone who hasn't in some way been moved by this performance. For me, it's not just the lyrics, it's those deep, guttural wails of pain, that are almost primal in nature. Extraordinary.
If you could hear heartbreak this is what it would sound like. Yebba is an amazing talent. You should check out Evergreen which she wrote after her mum passed away and Best Part of Me with Ed Sheeran.
Everything we go through in life was meant to happen. We are responsible for our actions, when events occurred, and will continue the same way for the rest of our lives. The past is part of the plan. We are free to dwell there as well. There is more than one lesson to be garnered from visits to our history. We always have choices. With the help of our Divine spirit and nature, our mind's eye or conscience, most of us are blessed to see our own characters, light and dark. Great song. Thank you for the reaction. Bless you both.
When she says "I sure won't stay, but I'll be damned if I ever leave.", it means she will physically leave him but she will always keep him in her mind. That's how the other woman can't take him, that's why she's losing her mind...to him. She's trapped in her own mund. Re-listen to the song. ♥️
Nice assessment. I see it dually. I, also, understand it as she won’t stay and be disrespected but he will remember and long for her...she’s a part of him, too.
I took as "I may be the one walking away right now, but you're the one who left this relationship" In other words "I'll drop a motherfucker, but I'll never be unfaithful"
Thanks for sharing both your back stories. During the pandemic it helps to feel connected to other people when we can't get together with family and friends. It felt like i waa sitting with you guys.
I appreciate the honest conversation you two had at the end of this video. Thank you! As for this song, it affects most of us because we’ve all been through something similar. I’m guessing she sang through the eyes of her mother, who committed suicide just a week after this performance. Anyway, No matter where the emotions came from for this performance, we are all fortunate to have experienced it for the first time.
Thank you so much for sharing your personal experiences. It takes so much courage to do that. It’s what really makes this song so powerful and special, her sharing pieces of her soul.
Shalom shalom Ok! I’m just hearing this song in the last day or so, and when I find something I like I binge watch it. So I have been watching reactions for the past day or two and this is the first one I have wanted to comment on. Sori this is the realist reaction I have ever seen. You were very open and honest and I truly appreciate it. I feel like I have been watching so many reactions to find a real reactions that touches on how it really makes you feel like damn I understand where she was at and what place she was in. I appreciate this more than you know!
I'm very sorry that each of you went through such painful or difficult situations, but happy that you found one another. I'm sort of at the crossroads at this moment, and that's a very vulnerable place to be.
I think when she's saying I sure won't stay but I will be dammed if I ever leave I think she's saying I'm leaving but I will never leave your mind because she knows she's done everything for this guy and in the end, he will think about the mistake he made cheating on her that just my interpretation of the song
When she says "I sure won't stay, but I'll be damned if I ever leave.", makes me feel like she's done, but she won't allow her to have the upper hand. Does that make sense?
You might be right. I see one of two ways. Either it's "This relationship is over, but it's YOU who fucked up, so it's YOU who's leaving, this is on YOU." Or it could simply be that there's no good option; staying isn't an option, but she also can't bear leaving.
Like she gives a rat's ass. You know all this crying shit is fake, it's all for the damn 125$ per month ffs! They don't understand music any better than my 6-year old niece, to whom Ariana Grande is like what Freddy Mercury is to me. Vin is just a Christian poser who PRETENDS to know music (no thanks to Korn).
@@progperljungman8218 Is it really WORTH it? Is it? I think it is, when you have the money to burn and no kids (or dogs) to feed. Good for you, though.
This performance was actually about a week before she lost her mom. She posted this on Facebook: “Many of you know my story. I lost my mom to suicide about a week after I sang my first original, "My Mind". Because of her, I wanted to give you this song for free, but because of your relentless support, there's an option to donate to Bring Change to Mind, an organization that helps people with mental illnesses like her.

Yes Yebba holds her own, she’s beautiful!
I agree, she’s beautiful
I think Yabba is beautiful and her voice is incredible. Also external beauty has nothing to do with being someone who could be cheated on…I know of plenty of strikingly “beautiful” women who were cheated on by their less attractive partners.
This performance garnered her a record deal on the spot. She has since won a Grammy for her collaboration with PJ Morton.
Your contrasting physical energy spoke volumes!!!!
Yeah he looked like he did something the whole video...mmm
@@alanaduran9045 facts.But she ain’t telling on him
@@oldheadttv_526 But she look like she about fire on his azz. Maybe she's thinking about that ex.
I cry EVERY SINGLE TIME I HEAR THIS. EVEN AFTER 50+ times. Yebba is amazing. A vocal gymnast whose runs and vocal control are insane

My Mind made you cry? Congratulations, you passed the human test
My ex-husband did this to me. I have such a strong connection with this...so, I feel what you're saying. Music is such a great outlet, though ❤
Man. I need a cigarette and a nap. So heavy. . I loved it.
Love songs that open my emotions.
I think when she's saying I sure won't stay but I will be dammed if I ever leave I think she's saying I'm leaving but I will never leave your mind because she knows she's done everything for this guy and in the end, he will think about the mistake he made cheating on her that just my interpretation of the song
I'm at 0:00 and just want to say that I've already liked the video. :)
Just so happy you actually reacted to this. Now, let's see...
You guys are on fire on putting out reactions! I gotta find songs that aren't so deep and emotional...lol
She looks like she wants to walk off and massively cry😭. My mind Yes Powerful!
Powerful... kinda reminded me of a young Ann Wilson
Yyeeeesssss!!! Finally, someone else that heard it! Thank you for confirming that I'm not the only one!
There are a few moments that sound so much like Ann!
Finally this react!!!!!!!! check Evergreen from her too! I love you guys!
omg yes!!! Evergreen!

Someone was feeling it more than the other
Damn you....VIKTOR!😭
Please do Volbeat- The Devil's Bleeding Crown. I can almost guarantee you guys would love it.
Hey Sori, You just went all in! ❤

This Performance was like a week or two after she lost her mom! It broke my heart!!!
This performance was actually about a week before she lost her mom. She posted this on Facebook:

@@knockknocknick thanks for the correction!
“Evergreen” was written about the loss of her mom to suicide 😢.
React to Creed - My Own Prison
Opeth - Godhead's Lament
Alice in chains God am live version please.
React to Angra - Carolina IV
Yebba (Abbey backwards) real name Abagail Elizebeth Smith
She lost her Mum shortly before this performance... Look it up...
Try ANNIHILATOR - Braindance
React to red fog by orbit culture
Abby wrote this song about losing her mom then her entire life to mental illness, a very short time after she put this out her mom committed suicide.
You’re thinking about “Evergreen” (written about her mother’s passing)
Her boyfriend broke up with her and her mother committed suicide
Her tone gave me a headache
Go take a pill 💊
THAT WAS ALREADY THERR FAM...
SHE MURDERED THIS
