    *This is utterly sad;* I just found out that her mom committed suicide after Abbey's performance of "My Mind". She changed her name to Yebba shortly after and made this song as a tribute to her; and even sang this in the church her mother attended. May she rest in peace.

    Just taking the time to credit the backup singers AND Yebba herself for having background singers in the first place. It’s a dying profession (people tend to just re-record themselves singing backup parts) and severely underappreciated. Having multiple talented people supporting the lead singer really adds to the sound. ❤

    That extra beat in the chorus after the second "wait for me", the "yeah yeah yeah" bit... such a small little detail, but that timing syncopation is simply spectacular. Little details like that help set Yebba apart in such a clever and brilliant way. I feel like so many good singers are emulating the sound of the times, but Yebba is comfortable bringing her whole self to her music, and the uniqueness really shines through. Subtle, but unignorable. She conveys the mood of her songs like few I've ever heard. Amazing song, amazing vocalist, engaging performer... you rock hard, Yebba!

    The story behind so much of Yebba's music is heartbreaking, but the way she infuses the yearning she has for her late mother into her songwriting is as spiritually annointed as it is technically superb, and hauntingly poetic. When you look across the current musical landscape and look at the quality of output from today's young creatives, it's clear Yebba will be an artist for the ages.

    I kissed my penny and I threw it in
    I prayed I'd keep my soul
    Went down to the river where the water bends
    The only place I know
    Oh, I can't see
    The forest
    For the trees
    So will you wait for me?
    Will you wait for me?
    Will you wait for me?
    My evergreen
    Standing at the water's edge
    The Mississippi's overflowing
    Hold your current in my hands
    You bring the meaning to my moments
    Oh, I can't see
    The forest
    For the trees
    So will you wait for me?
    Will you wait for me?
    Will you wait for me?
    My evergreen
    Oh, I can't see
    The forest
    For the trees
    Oh, I feel so
    Hopeless against the stream
    So will you wait for me?
    My evergreen
    I know it's just as hard in Heaven
    So will you wait for me?
    My evergreen
    I know it's just as hard
    My evergreen
    Evergreen
    My evergreen

      Yeah! A few days ago I wrote out the song structure, and the time signature changes a lot. I was counting in 4/4, 3/4, 6/4, and 7/4 at different points

    Wow, stunning. Thank you Ed Sheeran for collaborating with this brilliant artist. Just discovered you today Yebba, very late to the party but can't wait to listen to more of your songs. Such emotion, stunning vocals!

    Man, her eyes kill me at the very end of the video. It doesn't really show during the video, but they are just so distant at the end. Oof.

    2:58. Her singing "I know it's just as hard" over and over while looking up just breaks my heart
