I’m sorry for your loss. When I lost my dad in 2002 I didn’t think I could live in my skin. I’m here but it still hurts. God and Jesus Christ pulled me through it. I tried alcohol for 20+ years. It did not help. I pray for you that God will help you.
In the album version she recorded in 2019 she says “it’s been 2 years mom I still can’t figure it out” and in this version she says “5 years, too many tears, still can’t figure you out” those little details BREAK me 💔
Her tone, her ability to do anything vocally, when she transitions into “Howling” at the end. This is a once in a lifetime artist right here and we’re so blessed to be alive in the same time as Queen YEBBA, so excited for the tour 👑
@@emi5688 @3:47 she sings “howling’ at the moon, woooOOooo…woooOOooo…” it’s not really a howl, that’s why the above poster put ‘howling’ in quotation marks. Just beautiful singing ☺️
As someone who’s suffered from depression most my life, I often considered ending it. I’m still here because of my children. I couldn’t do that to them. 💔
@@shirleymartinez8914 please keep strong Shirley. You have great taste in music, I’m sure you’re a wonderful mum and you’ve made me feel both happy and sad at the same time. 💙
I don't feel I'm being hyperbolic when I say that I think she's the Celine/Whitney/Aretha of my generation. I've just discovered her work today, and I've spent the last 2hrs sobbing, laughing and smiling through her music. She may be the most talented and passionate vocal performer I've ever witnessed. My god... I feel like I owe her an apology for not listening to her for years.
Its been about 3 years for me but I remember those first few days after discovering her like they were yesterday... and I felt similarly guilty after being recommended her sofar presentation of "My mind" a million times and always passed on by until one day I clicked, possibly by freaking accident, and down the rabbit hole I went.... and THEN her tiny desk *literally* changed my life. All I can do in this life is hope and pray to one day make music, or even just be involved in a project that touches and INSPIRES folks the way her music did me.
Oh she is definitely up there will the classics.. Don't think I've ever heard someone with such range.. She has something different though which is astounding ❤
Girl dropping all this with her legs ....crossed. Absolute phenomenon, world treasure. Great sound mixing too.. someone with OCD went crazy with those acoustic panels XD we are thankful for you too
Definitely the most underrated artist at this time. Right now, hands down, Yebba has one of the best voices in the industry today. She is a PREMIER artist moving at her own pace and time. I need a concert to go to.
Yebba allows musicians to create while playing & actually use their craft to allow her voice & the song to flourish without it being a case of “showing off” !! 🤯 mehhnn… thanks Yebba ! 🙏🏽 I’d love to go to one of her shows
@@YouCannotDenyMe I also think folk fits her voice super well. It's her mastery of soft whispery vocals. October sky was also pretty much folk (and it's my fave song off her album).
I pray this gift of a lady stays on earth for a long long time. Let nothing harm her dear God. Let her feel loved and be happy from within. May she always be healthy and sound in Jesus Name. Amen. Love her so much
Oh my god this song... This is a song form nowhere, no time, this is something that came streaming from some paradise that most of us cannot and will never reach. Who is Yebba really? I'm here just crying and trying to understand what just happened.
My mom adopted me as I was transitioning into adulthood. She demonstrated to me, every day, how good God was, and how sweet life could be. It was the best seven years of my life, and I miss her every single day. I sing this song as a sort of personal epitaph whenever I feel lost and begin missing her past the point of pain. Thank you for the moving, deeply vulnerable song. It means the world to me now.
Tell me Will you leave me lonely On and on and on, I know you told me The most important reason why You'll color in as many lines as I need you Tell me When we have no money And the sirens start their callin' You say slow down Slow down, come on Slow down And this paranoia purple turns to green And nothing is as simple as it seems What's happening to me? Say now When my life is over Will you find somebody good enough to hold you? Someone like my Abigail? To tell you all is good and well like me now Say now I feel my colors show how I think it's almost time for me to go now Go now, go now But this paranoia purple turns to grey And all that's good and well It melts away Until we meet again How could I for Still can't figure it out Still can't figure it out Ooh, how could I forget about you now Tell me, how could I forget about you now? Now, now, now How could I yeah for-forget about you
I think about a year and a half ago i was listening to this song with so much heaviness and pain in my heart, I'm glad thag today that heaviness is no more. I hope the one who reads this finds healing, self forgiveness, peace and the support they need. ❤❤❤ Sending love and relief. 😊
When you listen to this in the context of her mom's death and how this plays out in the lyrics it's almost overwhelming. So hauntingly beautiful. I am undone every time I hear it. What a gift.
Robwsh.83/been listning for the last hour and haven't been able to pull my self away. With the exception of the 'F' word, in one song, witch was also a beautiful song, I cannot help but say that this is theee most beautiful songs to listen to at this time in world history. Beautifully done.❤❤
Heaven must be like this..truly..and that key change..my oh my..haven't stopped listening to this since I found it..and its been a week..(its been 2 years)
My reasoning for loving this song is feeling her grief as a number of these songs are connected too the pain of her mothers unaliving and how living with this pain has been apart of her daily thinking.... Bless her soul. Some grief has no ending but i hope she finds peace one day.
I am trying *so hard* to remember if any artist I've ever heard has had the courage to be _actually_ howling at the moon while singing one of his songs, but I cannot seem to recall one. This piece is incredibly deep on a primal level. Thank you for it
Favorite song of the album. Everytime I hear this I got shivers all over my body. There must be something in these chord progressions that makes it so moving
It’s like the she just came out of nowhere! She is Hypnotizing! She is from another planet! She touches your soul on purpose! And I’m In here crying like a crazy man!!😢😢😢😭. That is something else man……🤦🏾♂️ Our American Adele! 🇺🇸
She sounds like Roberta Flack, Dolly Parton, Pink, and Celine Dion all at the same time. The most beautiful voice ever….Almost on the frequency of angels.
Marcus here's just one more lil bonus... a live cover of this song by lizzy mcalpine, which i think it pretty exquisite in its own right (i love both, of course) : ruclips.net/video/eP07NcawFq0/видео.html
The beauty of unpredictability in this one. I had no idea where the song was going, but felt like I arrived in the end. Waiting for the next song with bated breath.
I’ve lost both my parents and this album is helping me. Unpacking the complexity of the relationships & the update to your identity is monumental. Its reflected in the musicality, tone and unfolding of this album (especially this song). Thank you Yebba for connecting to those confusing but important feelings❤
I'm 66 years old and she takes me to a place no other singer can get near to. Very very special lady.i have to listen to her perfect voice everyday Perfection
I love that this song is written about her late mom… I lost my mom 7 years ago and this song always makes me cry. Yebba you are phenomenal and such an inspiration. I hope you go on tour soon so I can experience this magnificence live xo
My mother passed in December before Christmas. The howling at the moon part gets me big time. I had a dream of her, and grandma in the kitchen together again. I can’t wait to see them again one day.
The complete voice .SHE possess a God given voice beautiful tone amazing range that could sing the highest notes effortlessly and amazing control that can do the runs and riffs in the category of Tori Kelly. Clear enunciation of the lyrics of the song .the first time I heard her voice I became an instant fan and I said this is a voice that needs to be heard by the world . Been a fan since 2014.the first time I heard her sang Gravity with Clark Beckham . She ranks with the elite with her gut wrenching performance of My mind. You missed out if you have not heard that song .
She makes Tori Kelly sound like a beginner. I don't think I've ever heard someone have this much control over her voice. And I went to a pretty good music school.
@@jarreddunlap7065 Yeah, I don't think Tori Kelly is a good reference point. There is a huge difference between "being able to do riffs and runs" and "being able to SING". Yebba is in a league of here own, and as far as I know, no one in her generation comes even close.
@@Pablo_sanz359 perhaps Adele and that's pushing it... I don't think Adele can even do the range and runs. Maybe a jasmine Sullivan, but once again, jasmine uses too many runs. I've always had the notion even from the best opera singers I went to school with that embellishment waa an excuse to show you weren't that good. For instance, Ariana Grande. WAY TOO MANY RUNS. Yebba is popping through complete arpeggiated chords, adding cross and subtones, and singing between head and chest voice with no effort at all. It's insane
@@jak30341 I actually said that she didn't have the range if you would have read what I wrote when I said "I don't think Adele can even do the range and runs." Didn't think that statement said that she did? I don't know.
I cried so hard to this song. Your music speaks to the soul. Everything about you. And your voice , its the best my lifetime gets to experience. It's like you heal people with your voice. Thank you for your existence
I’m 36 and thought I was done picking favorite singers....wrong...this was so poignant, haunting, just stunning the way her voice just soars in the best way possible
I saw the clip of her receiving a Grammy - Best R&B - for her feature on PJ Mortons recording of How deep is your love. She thanked the Holy Ghost! I pertain to no religion, but I am a firm believer. You are so on point...her gift is divine...and she lets it resonate for us all. A once in a lifetime singer/songwriter.
This album came out a few days before my Nana, my family's leader and beloved Matriarch, passed after a long battle with cancer. It took me many moons to be able to listen to the album, but when I got to this song...man. It was just full on sobs. It made me feel like she was talking to me, telling me she's no longer in pain, and that she can finally see her husband after 21 years of being apart, that she can run and laugh and dance like she used to. It's bittersweet. But, like Yebba said, her colors are showing now. And that's all that matters. 💚
hey Yebba your probably not gonna see this but to everyone else that appreciates this song might like to see this message, I just wanted to say thank you for this song as I'm sure a lot of others would as well for me I wanted to say thank you for this specific version as I found this at the start of my GCSE's (I'm English) and it blew me away and brought tears to my eyes, so I thought this is the song that I want to sing for my GCSE music performance and it was daunting I wont lie especially as a male to try and sing this song is a challenge and I listen religiously practically everyday singing it through in my head as well as with my mum who is a singer herself and my sister who does performing arts, after I got the structure of the song and the words down I studied the runs and little textured bits sprinkled through out making sure they were broken down and executed to my best ability. once I was satisfied with the song I practised and practised until the day came to perform and record the song and I did the first take with you singing with me in the background and looking at the readings while listening back to see I was perfectly in pitch brought priceless happiness to me and then I decided it was time to perform to backing track (which must I say was very hard to find for this specific version so I had to do it to the original song version but with all of these riff runs and lyrics) and I performed and my teacher said that was once of the best renditions of your songs and it was done extremely well, and I ended up getting 30/30 on it so thank you for being the biggest inspiration to my singing taste and song selection ❤
Hey Yebba. Love your voice and music. I literally fly in the sky while listening to you. When will you tour again? And are you coming to the tristate area? Please 🙏🏽
She picks me up every time, impossible not to react, your music touches me deeply, all these variations take us so far. Thank you for being there Yebba, you are good for our ears and our souls and in these times of trouble it is so good. Thank you Bravo belle artiste ❤️💕🎶
I do agree, she's one of those rare talents. With her voice technique alone, she is one of the best to grace the surface of the earth. And to accompany this, her song writing abilities and lyricism can just sell any story. I see her as an artist first which is crazy given how a beast of vocalist she is
So early!! Yebba you are without a doubt the greatest singer of our time. I lost my mum when I was young and I can't tell you how much your music has helped me. Stay Beautiful ❤️❤️
I just discovered Yebba through a RUclips short and I can't believe it!! It's one of the best voices I've ever heard in my entire life. Wow, it's absolutely perfect
I can feel your pain through this song, it’s raw and real. I always tear up when I hear your moms voice at the end of this song in the album version. I wish you nothing but the best. You are a true artist
You are the most amazing sound I ever heard. Your sound is coming from a place unavailable to most singers and of course most people. I don't know if it has been your grief that opened that gate through which your amazing singing comes forth. It brings me memories of sounds from my native South American upbringing. Like most people who know your music, I have a difficult time finding words to describe it. It is like one of those dreams that you experience and remember but it's impossible to put them into words or those rare mystical moments. Because it's a transcendental experience that you give to us. I am so grateful. Unbelievably moved. Thank you, Yebba. Abbigail.
Yebba's ability to pull any frequency She can think of is literally impossible. Like if She wants to sound like a violin, She morphs into a violin; If She wants to sound like the after tone of a guitar, Her voice becomes it. It is amazing to see in real time 💯
It will be a year since my mother died and I would never wish this pain on anyone. I hope this washes some of the pain away.
I’m so sorry for your loss💙
Same the worst pain I've ever experienced
I’m sorry for your loss. When I lost my dad in 2002 I didn’t think I could live in my skin. I’m here but it still hurts. God and Jesus Christ pulled me through it. I tried alcohol for 20+ years. It did not help. I pray for you that God will help you.

😮 you are a true fan. I’m a new fan.
sometimes it is like that... it happened a week ago, you blinked and 11 years happened.
Fhxk man that hurts

crying my eyes out. that’s why music exists.
You think she knows she keeps people here on earth with this song. I never want my daughter to hurt like this
My thoughts exactly.
damn that was deep
As someone who’s suffered from depression most my life, I often considered ending it. I’m still here because of my children. I couldn’t do that to them. 💔
@@shirleymartinez8914 please keep strong Shirley. You have great taste in music, I’m sure you’re a wonderful mum and you’ve made me feel both happy and sad at the same time. 💙
I was suicidal a few months ago. This song makes me think of how I would have hurt my kids...so thankful that I didn't do it.
When she starts howling. My heart.
I don't feel I'm being hyperbolic when I say that I think she's the Celine/Whitney/Aretha of my generation.

This. Said everything I encountered the when I found her, and I just found her yesterday, spent the rest of my night listening to these masterpieces
Same with the crying and laughing.
😂😂😂😂 Please apologize.....and pass my apology as well, I'm embarrassed to even show my face 😢😅

Yebba's songs take you to a world without borders in a different galaxy
Yes! I feel you. Like you could float endlessly... she is truly gifted beyond what words can fully describe.
Like Enya' songs
I don’t think Yebba knows how many people she inspires. This is just too much ❤️
The only artist that can outperform her recorded songs every time.
Yes!!! Her live performance is outstanding. For me, that's the true test of a musician/singer, when they blow you away live❤
This song is the wave of mental health the ups and downs. The exhausting wave. Sigh. Its absolutely a beautiful piece.
This is so beautiful and so incredibly sad. Still can't watch this without crying.
Girl dropping all this with her legs ....crossed. Absolute phenomenon, world treasure. Great sound mixing too.. someone with OCD went crazy with those acoustic panels XD we are thankful for you too
RIP Dawn Smith. This music is made with so much love from your Abigail
Is Dawn her mother's name?
@@ajeva yeah
Wow i just know now. What a beautiful name. The fact that she has one track named dawn too.. wonder what that sound meaning...
@@borabora1309and the album is called Dawn ❤️
One of the best voices of this generation.
Definitely the most underrated artist at this time. Right now, hands down, Yebba has one of the best voices in the industry today. She is a PREMIER artist moving at her own pace and time. I need a concert to go to.
I am allergic to "underrated". But in rhis case I'd say I agree. Maxbe underrated but defenitely not underappreciated. ♡
Yebba allows musicians to create while playing & actually use their craft to allow her voice & the song to flourish without it being a case of “showing off” !! 🤯 mehhnn… thanks Yebba ! 🙏🏽 I’d love to go to one of her shows
All of this. I'm obsessed with her.
I want nothing more for her and all of her fans than for her to move at her own pace. It's given her and us such beauty, I'll take her as she comes.
Hailey Knox ❤️
This series is the greatest gift of the year and its only February.
How do all these musicians accompanying her not break down in tears?
I love how her voice sounds R&B, country, soul and pop. It sounds like an old soul singing but current, keep up the good work Yebba.
I totally agree with you. she's everything.
I hear Folk sometimes in her voice too. I love how much she's able to convey.
@@YouCannotDenyMe I also think folk fits her voice super well. It's her mastery of soft whispery vocals. October sky was also pretty much folk (and it's my fave song off her album).
Some of my hobbies include sobbing to this song daily.
I've never related more to a comment omg
No no me too😭
I didn’t think I was the only one 🥹
YES SAME
❤
From one motherless person to another, I FEEL YOUR PAIN. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I pray this gift of a lady stays on earth for a long long time. Let nothing harm her dear God. Let her feel loved and be happy from within. May she always be healthy and sound in Jesus Name. Amen. Love her so much
Amen. 😩🙏🏾🌹✝️
This is a song I don’t listen to very often because it’s like sickeningly heartbreaking and it hurts. It’s so painfully beautiful.
I feel the same way. Every time I listen to this song I feel exactly that.
Oh my god this song... This is a song form nowhere, no time, this is something that came streaming from some paradise that most of us cannot and will never reach. Who is Yebba really? I'm here just crying and trying to understand what just happened.

Thank you for the moving, deeply vulnerable song. It means the world to me now.
How lucky are we that we get to live in the Yebba era??? She’s like a comet of artists. What a treat.
I am weeping by the end, every time.
When she starts hitting those notes at 3:08 I get chills. Can’t believe I only discovered her this week! How is this woman not everywhere?
"I'll be howling at the moon
And still, all I see is you
Heaven...Heaven must be like this."
Yes, my thoughts exactly.
I hope she’s doing ok. We love you, Yebba. You’re helping me prepare for MY mommy to leave me…if God wills she leave first. 🥺💕🙏🏾🌹✝️
I've melted ten thousand times over 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
WE GOT “HOWLING” this is not a drill
Tell me
Will you leave me lonely
On and on and on, I know you told me
The most important reason why
You'll color in as many lines as I need you
Tell me
When we have no money
And the sirens start their callin'
You say slow down
Slow down, come on
Slow down
And this paranoia purple turns to green
And nothing is as simple as it seems
What's happening to me?
Say now
When my life is over
Will you find somebody good enough to hold you?
Someone like my Abigail?
To tell you all is good and well like me now
Say now
I feel my colors show how
I think it's almost time for me to go now
Go now, go now
But this paranoia purple turns to grey
And all that's good and well
It melts away
Until we meet again
How could I for
Still can't figure it out
Still can't figure it out
Ooh, how could I forget about you now
Tell me, how could I forget about you now?
Now, now, now
How could I yeah for-forget about you

Favorite song of the album. Everytime I hear this I got shivers all over my body. There must be something in these chord progressions that makes it so moving

i’ll never stop listening
I’m 36 and thought I was done picking favorite singers....wrong...this was so poignant, haunting, just stunning the way her voice just soars in the best way possible
I'm 23 years your senior, and just discovered this young woman. I don't think we ever get through picking favorites.
The most amazing female vocalist of our time. Otherworldly and spiritually resonates the divine gift she has been given.
I saw the clip of her receiving a Grammy - Best R&B - for her feature on PJ Mortons recording of How deep is your love. She thanked the Holy Ghost! I pertain to no religion, but I am a firm believer. You are so on point...her gift is divine...and she lets it resonate for us all. A once in a lifetime singer/songwriter.
whos the male?
The first 10 seconds already have my spirit floating
The voice is eternal and each generation provides a channel for it. She is the chosen one.
Absolutely
This woman is just not as big as she should be. Her talent is just extraordinary and exceptional.
The pain of living and surviving has brought out the best in her!
This album came out a few days before my Nana, my family's leader and beloved Matriarch, passed after a long battle with cancer. It took me many moons to be able to listen to the album, but when I got to this song...man. It was just full on sobs. It made me feel like she was talking to me, telling me she's no longer in pain, and that she can finally see her husband after 21 years of being apart, that she can run and laugh and dance like she used to. It's bittersweet. But, like Yebba said, her colors are showing now. And that's all that matters. 💚
Thank you so much for sharing 💛
♥💞
Nauurrrr yebba you can't keep doing this to me😭😭❤
This song has touched me like no other. Thank you yebba
I've only just now (2023) "discovered" your voice.
It set something free inside of me. Instantly in love.❤
hey Yebba your probably not gonna see this but to everyone else that appreciates this song might like to see this message, I just wanted to say thank you for this song as I'm sure a lot of others would as well for me I wanted to say thank you for this specific version as I found this at the start of my GCSE's (I'm English) and it blew me away and brought tears to my eyes, so I thought this is the song that I want to sing for my GCSE music performance and it was daunting I wont lie especially as a male to try and sing this song is a challenge and I listen religiously practically everyday singing it through in my head as well as with my mum who is a singer herself and my sister who does performing arts, after I got the structure of the song and the words down I studied the runs and little textured bits sprinkled through out making sure they were broken down and executed to my best ability. once I was satisfied with the song I practised and practised until the day came to perform and record the song and I did the first take with you singing with me in the background and looking at the readings while listening back to see I was perfectly in pitch brought priceless happiness to me and then I decided it was time to perform to backing track (which must I say was very hard to find for this specific version so I had to do it to the original song version but with all of these riff runs and lyrics) and I performed and my teacher said that was once of the best renditions of your songs and it was done extremely well, and I ended up getting 30/30 on it so thank you for being the biggest inspiration to my singing taste and song selection ❤
this is and will be forever one of the greatest songs and performances ever
Hey Yebba. Love your voice and music. I literally fly in the sky while listening to you. When will you tour again? And are you coming to the tristate area? Please 🙏🏽
Perform this at the Grammy Awards!!! The world needs to hear this!
Yes!!!
She picks me up every time, impossible not to react, your music touches me deeply, all these variations take us so far.
Thank you for being there Yebba, you are good for our ears and our souls and in these times of trouble it is so good.
Thank you
Bravo belle artiste ❤️💕🎶
THAT VOICE is everything that's missing right now in music today ! So smooth and crystal clear..
I do agree, she's one of those rare talents. With her voice technique alone, she is one of the best to grace the surface of the earth. And to accompany this, her song writing abilities and lyricism can just sell any story. I see her as an artist first which is crazy given how a beast of vocalist she is
The beautiful howling at the end. Unbelievable. Part of me wishes she would share the stories behind her songs, part of me loves that it's a mystery.
She’s pretty open about it , her mom comforted suicide a few years back
This particular song is about her mothers suicide. I’m unsure the story behind howling. She’s incredible.
So early!! Yebba you are without a doubt the greatest singer of our time. I lost my mum when I was young and I can't tell you how much your music has helped me. Stay Beautiful ❤️❤️
It is good for our souls, my father left at 3 months, we are looking for comfort and this music speaks to us
🎶💕
The musicianship.. artistry.. heart.. absolutely unmatched (where’s the Grammy!?)
There's a Debussy or Ravel's kinda element in the strings and harmony, but with a folk twist and r&b leading voice. This is my musical heaven.
This!!!!
I just discovered Yebba through a RUclips short and I can't believe it!! It's one of the best voices I've ever heard in my entire life. Wow, it's absolutely perfect
😭 so perfect ....
absolutely stunning. Listening to it I remember my dad who passed away almost two years ago 🤍
I’ve been replaying this so many tiiimes
I can feel your pain through this song, it’s raw and real. I always tear up when I hear your moms voice at the end of this song in the album version. I wish you nothing but the best. You are a true artist
You are the most amazing sound I ever heard. Your sound is coming from a place unavailable to most singers and of course most people. I don't know if it has been your grief that opened that gate through which your amazing singing comes forth. It brings me memories of sounds from my native South American upbringing. Like most people who know your music, I have a difficult time finding words to describe it. It is like one of those dreams that you experience and remember but it's impossible to put them into words or those rare mystical moments. Because it's a transcendental experience that you give to us. I am so grateful. Unbelievably moved. Thank you, Yebba. Abbigail.
There's no way at one point she was worried about passing music school. Her voice is heavenly.
Yebba's ability to pull any frequency She can think of is literally impossible. Like if She wants to sound like a violin, She morphs into a violin; If She wants to sound like the after tone of a guitar, Her voice becomes it. It is amazing to see in real time 💯
Omg I've been hoping sooo hard for a live version of Paranoia Purple! The QUEEN DELIVVVVERSSSS!!!
This is so good it hurts
