    People think she showed up to sing a song. She showed up to tell a story.
  • @Wired4Reality
    This is so emotional it almost feels intrusive to listen to.
  • Ed Sheeran signed her after watching this performance. I can't really blame him. This is in my top 5 performances of all time.
  • "I sure won't stay, but I'll be damned if I ever leave" - one line only, but how to the point does it describe this emotional prison? One of the best song lines ever!
  • @lunabear
    PLEASE. One of my very favorites! If you do any others, consider her Tiny Desk, which is absolutely magical.
  • This is my Favorite thing to do is watch people react to this song for the first time! Its incredible I get chills EVERY SINGLE TIME! 😘
  • @WoodlandT
    Her cover of Gravity with Clark Beckham is absolutely stunning
  • @OGArmy0613
    Yebba has a new song, I Adore You, and it's amazing. She deserves so MUCH MORE. I need her to win a few Grammys and more. Let's support her at all cost!
  • This is so emotional. Dont think ive been able to listen to this song a single time with out watering my eyes
  • @AuntyZelda
    Yebba won a Grammy in 2019 along with PJ Morton for their performance of How Deep is Your Love. About 3 weeks after this performance, Yebba’s mother committed suicide. As a result of that she began a blog about this piece and tied it into the issue of mental illness but, unfortunately, I can’t remember the website for that. She is a phenomenal singer and is the artist who introduced me to music reactors!
  • Finally, finally, finally! Please go down the YEBBA rabbit hole! The progression she makes from song to song is amazing! —Evergreen, October Sky, her work w/Mark Ronson, her tiny desk concert, Boomerang, and many more.
  • @xperfloorcare
    We went to church with her in west Memphis Arkansas. She’s been that great for ever, she was part of the band at church. Her dad is the pastor also sings and plays keyboard amazing as well! So long ago but not surprised at how far she has come. Way to go Marion/River Trace Ar. She’s wow
  • @andyschnell58
    Many thanks for checking out Yebba. She is a great vocalist and storyteller. I hope for more from her in the future.
  • Her song Evergreen, about her mother, is absolutely incredible and brings tears to my eyes everytime
  • When artists paint, they play with the colors of their pallette. Their work of art is never the same. Their eventual masterpiece underneath is embedded with flawed strokes often undetectable to the eye but the finished product as a whole captures us in awe. Singers intentional or unintentional mistakes is what listeners yearn in a LIVE performance. It is when it is felt and the magic happens. Yebba lets her voice cry perfectly imperfectly.
  • @maxhvasta8648
    Cant wait for more Yebba! You should do Evergreen, Gravity with Clark Beckham, and her Tiny Desk concert
  • @henry410axe9
    I’m 42 years old. Every time I watch this performance…I bawl my eyes out. I can’t relate to the song a single bit. But I can feel her pain. Covered in goose bumps, everytime. Also…love the reaction. Instant sub.
  • She did a live performance of her song “Boomerang” that is unbelievable.
  • @1deloach
    I have known Abbey's (Yebba) family since before she was born. Her story is amazing and yes, still unfolding. The emotional wails that you compared to Jeff Buckley with a hint of something "MIddle -Eastern" was what is refererred to in Pentecostal circles as a "lament". Her background was showing here as well in many places throughout this song.
  • @iamlpinthe312
    Definitely one of those artists who is a masterful storyteller, not just with the lyrics but with their delivery.
