i just love watching you & learning from you
Tyler Oakley hi
+Tyler Oakley TEEHEE
Tessa Violet Hi TESSA HAHAHAHA
how did you get so wise. i could listen to you talk about literally anything
tia cooper People also use to tell me that I am so wise. But I think the reason for this wisdom is probably knowledge and thinking. I am spending a lot of time by thinking about certain ideas or topics or stories. I reflect a lot of my life. And I also google and read a lot of thinks on the internet. For instance, there was a time in ny youth where I was informing myself a lot about introversion. I have read a whole book about it and I was also thinking about it bc I am an introvert. And I watch many youtube videos. But I think a lot..A LOT. But I am sure that you are also really wise. I hope you have a nice day.💕

tia cooper shes one of the smartest people ive seen on youtube

Wisedom comes from experience. This is someone who has gone through stuff in her life (and is still going through stuff). She has had to seek help and knowledge... "therapy", where (at least in my case) you gain a million "Ah Ha!" moments where you learn some deep introspective things about life, truth, and self.
Plus,... Tessa is a smart cookie!
God/genetics didn't make no fool.
Despite her challenges, the girl is good (Can you tell I'm a fan?).
Tessa is how I imagine Miss Honey from Matilda
Honeybee Jess wow so accurate
Me too!!
SO TRUE! that made me want to cry for some reason
Yes!!!
YEAH????
"Melody or lyrics first?"
Tessa: Well we're all gonna die so,
your hair looks lovely!!
Thanks!
Not a question but, YOUR FRAMING IS SO PLEASANT!
THANK YOU
I really needed this today. I have a notebook full of orphan phrases that come to me when I'm falling asleep, and I need to figure out how to use them as a jumping off point.
you can do it!
towita I do the exact same thing! nothing ever fits together or sounds great when I look back at what I've written the next day :(
Maya Joy I love what Tina fey says in baby mama about that "I always end up with things that make no sense like 'electric toilet' and 'make everybody be twins'".
i'm an only child, but whenever i watch one of your videos, it's i get to listen and glean wisdom to the big sister i always wanted. thank you for what you do!! xx
tessa: here's some helpful music writing tips!
also tessa: nothing matters though no one will remember you in 100 years
I'm an artist blacksmith. A lot of what you've said directly relates to the work I do, even if what I do is very different to what you do (musical anvils are NOT a thing! I will not be fooled again!!) Thanks for explaining things in a way I can *finally* understand ^_^ You have wonderful eyes by the way! Keep on rockin! :)
I am not in the music industry, yet I find those are great tips (What are you afraid of? Why?... Having a general direction...). And I totally understand where the fears come from 😅.
i love your chatty get ready with me's 💕💕
peyt_rose same
her hair looks really soft its so distracting omg
Amazing advice, sending this to some of my cousins who are super into music but are just bloody terrified! xx
+Melanie Murphy they can do it!!
tessa's kanken: clean, hanging, well tended to, probably full of love
my kanken: covered in dirt, looks like it just came out of world war 2, also probably full of love
"it's all just practice for the next thing." love how your advice can be applicable to so much. thanks for sharing your thoughts. much needed wisdom.
*Waits patiently for the next upload*
“A great way to never write anything is to enter into creativity with fear” has my mind blown,, it’s so simple and I’m so glad I heard it from you. Since the first time I watched this video in 2017, I’ve sung my original songs at two small gigs, cried a lot, and decided that I’m not going to give up on music!! Everything is simultaneously insignificant and wonderful. It’s good.
nodded throughout this entire video, lovely vid x

OK Tessa. I have to make my final art proyect this month and was terrified of doing something that was not worth it. This (even tho is about music) actually helped. I think you just helped me a little to get out of my stress and fear, I'll try to create and see where it leads me.

How to deal with existentialism and the fact that you will die and no one will remember you and what you're doing now is pointless?
soz for the trigger
there's nothing you can do about it, so don't worry about it. it's easier said than done but since you really can't do anything about it, just don't let it bother you.
Honestly, I have learnt to find that freeing, rather than something that makes me anxious. I would also say that it's inaccurate to say that everything is pointless, rather that the purpose of it is simply that which you apply to it in the now, rather than some over-arching purpose. As in, it does matter what you do, and it matters how you feel, and it matters how others' feel. Everything has an affect, and that matters, no matter how small.
sprinkleseverywhere Look at the phrase "Nothing matters" from a different light. Don't use it as something to bring you down, so much as something to overcome anything holding you back
Only two minutes in and I've shouted "YES SOMEONE SAID IT" three times already. It took me a while to get over the whole "I need to be ORIGINAL, I need to be ME, but who AM I" madness. When I started consuming more art, I was able to MAKE more art. I think that's true with anything, but especially music. Do not feel guilty for sounding like something else, friends. I've gotten to a comfortable place where I can freely make music and know it will be original to me- not because of something I'm actively DOING, but simply by the fact that whatever I make WILL inherently HAVE to have my footprint on it.
I love freaking love your makeup/vlog videos! Bomb af
Your videos always give me so much strength ! Thank you !
your advice on the creative process in general is always so on point!
the color palette in this video is so pleasing. i love the soft pinks greens and yellows!!
This is lovely! I've been stuck with songwriting and it helps so much to hear your thoughts on it. Thank you for sharing your answers to these questions!
thank you so much! i have needed this video for a while now and honestly you explain this so much THANK YOU!
i honestly love your grwm vids so much
I just love hearing you talk.
this. whole video is so relevant for me thank you so much for all of your words of encouragement and wisdom for younger musicians
I feel like you are capable of bringing so much motivation and confidence in people, thank you for the boost
Thank you for the always excellent advice, it's great for all art forms, not just song writing. I've been stumped for awhile and this helped a lot.
I love these videos. Watching you do your makeup is so relaxing?? Also, you express yourself really well and you always have something valuable to say. LOVE U TESSA
this was exactly the songwriting/performing advice i needed, thank you!!!
I really enjoy these videos, especially when you talk about the creative process behind a song and videos. Thanks for doing them :)
I'm not a musician or songwriter, but I love how your advice can be applied to other creative endeavors as well. I especially liked when you said "Great way to never write anything is to enter into creativity with fear" That rang very true to me, and it's good to keep in mind. Thank you!
i love your get ready with me's, theyre so insightful and interesting :)
Thank you Tessa, honestly. You just make everything easier to understand and more relatable. You also help people understand that our thoughts can be our own but similar and it's okay. Thank you so much ❤️
You are so inspiring and amazing and I love you. Thank you for imparting your wisdom, I know it has helped me ❤️
Thank you for sharing some of your knowledge/tips! It helps me a lot to think of composing as practice for the next song, really takes the pressure of making or breaking it with that one song you're trying to write ♡
This is the exact video I needed right now. Thank you so much, Tessa!
I look forward to your videos more than any other content on youtube, I feel like I learn so much from you. (also im so happy that this video is twice the length of your regular ones, I could listen to you talk for hours tbh)
Your voice is so calming! I love these 'talking while doing my makeup' vids, they're really nice :)
This is honestly such good advice! I will definitely try some of this, thank you Tessa!
Thanks Tessa, I found your video very informative as well as inspirational, infact right now I feel inspired to write a song about you. Love you ❣️
I love how deeply you think about everything. you're so wise for your age 🌸
Tessa thank you so much for making this video. It means the world to me. As a beginner singer/songwriter this really helps sort of encourage me to keep going. Thank you thank you thank you
the world needs your wisdom you're just so wise and have an amazing outlook on life, concepts and ideas
Your chatting videos are always wonderful. They're interesting, relaxing, and often thought provoking. This one especially inspired me. Thank you
this video is important. I've heard most of the things you said so many times before but for some reason when you say it, it hits me hard. thank you. I need to work some more on my songs.
Thank you so much Tessa. I've really wanted to try singing and writing and I think this really gave me confidence to actually make an attempt at stepping into that world.
you are seriously so inspiring and I'm so happy that I got to watch this on my birthday.
You just make me feel so calm and give good advice
Wow, your voice gives me so much nostalgia. I remember I used to watch your vlogs waaaaay back on my old account, around the time of that tessa+coffee video. Good to see your still making content!
I love this video. As a writing major who also deals with anxiety, so much of this resonates! For some reason, your input brings me back to earth and keeps me from freaking out about my portfolio. Thank you for being you!
thank you so much for making this!! this is exactly what i needed❤️also, loving the hair!
How do you word everything so perfectly? Your wisdom is something I could listen to all day
literally the best timing and so helpful. thanks a lot
.. you have really inspired me.. I struggle with very bad anxiety.. And your songs are just AMAZING! they helped me explain feelings. also wanna thank you for making me less afraid to sing
(
Hi Tessa! This was actually helpful because I needed finish my play writing final and was really struggling with creativity and motivation to do it. This helped me get some direction. SO THANK YOU!
I like listening to you while I study. It's very calming and relaxing, and it also helps me focus to listen to you chat 😊
I'm watching this again because you had some really fantastic thoughts on the creative process. I don't work in music but so many of your points can be directed towards other creative fields.
I also appreciate being able to hear and understand a little more of where an artist night be coming from. There is so much more to music than the final polished piece.
Thanks for your thoughts.
This helped me sooo much!!! I also love your Get Ready with Me videos, best parts of my week!!
okay like your singing voice and your talking voice are so different and i dig it. i love both of them so much they're both amazing.
thank you so much tessa! this is exactly what i need right now
I am 34 and have always wanted to write a novel. Your first 3 minutes of advice on creativity and writing songs seriously spoke to me. Thanks!
Ahhh i love this! youre so practical and encouraging its fantastic!!!
As someone who's not at all a musician, I want to also share how helpful your words are for me about all art (and even things that don't feel like art). Like, I'm in the process of writing my personal statements for grad school and it's so hard to feel unique or to create a nice progression of thoughts and tones, etc. And what you're sharing is exactly what I keep telling myself - write something, write more than you need to and you can go back and revise and perfect. So thank you, as always, for sharing your insight in such a lovely and eloquent way. I'm in love with your way with words. :)
Thank you so so much for shining this kind of light on the expectation of writing music versus how someone may be expecting too much out of how they're music is supposed to sound. I thought that I had to conjure a whole new melodic sequence completely different from how anything else had ever sounded on my own and you helped me realize that not everyone can be mozart and Beethoven and create something new out of nothing. That you can be inspired by little bits of everything around you. (Not saying to do stuff like copying, just that everything has inspiration from something else.) Thank you.
My problems don't even relate to song writing or music but this was therapeutic for me and the advise still really helped me. Thank you for providing a safe and unconditionally accepting space for those like me who need it.
This is incredible advice! Tessa, you always know what to say. Also, I love your eyeliner!
I love the changing colors of your hair !
I want hear 4:52 - 5:07 every time I want to start a project, it's so motivating!! Thank you Tessa!
people sometimes come to me for wisdom/insight/a new perspective (idk why but apparently I'm helpful in that way??), and I go to you, Tessa, for the same. I appreciate you very very much for that!
YEESSSSS MY FAVOURITE KIND OF VIDEO 💜
I love these kind of videos! 💕
This video hits so hard and it's such beautiful advice thank you
Hey Tessa, it's always lovely to hear your thoughts.
Your hair looks super cute in this video!
I love this and I love you. I've watched your channel for years, and how've you've embraced each passion and art form as they've come and you've let them go as you've needed to. You are an artist whatever that looks like, because it's not the art but you that shines through it all.
I'm a singer, and I've been making my living singing other people's songs for a few years now, and it's so easy to forget to pay attention to my own art and creative process. Thank you for constantly reminding me to be brave and vulnerable and to honor my inner artist. I always look forward to your videos in my feed! Thank you for everything you do!
Korbe Sings ... wow. What a lovely thing to say to Tessa. I really hope she sees your comment.
AND ... wow, you are talented Korbe!
(Here comes the next line you're probably sick of seeing already) You deserve more views!
You do you know.
I adore your chit chat videos (along with your amazing music btw!) because they're so well thought out and insightfully useful?
Your videos are nice and artsy. Plus it's nice editing and doesn't hurt my eyes because of all the soft pastels and stuff. Love the aesthetic.💕
Hi! I would just like to say that after experiencing lots of therapy over the last two years for my anxiety, I did not appreciate the advice in this video to the extent that it deserves when I first watched it in 2017. This is the best summation of how I learned to handle my anxiety that I've ever witnessed. You're awesome, Tessa! :)
I don't know how you always tap into what I need to hear, right when I need to hear it, but dear Lord, I appreciate you so much!
Your makeup looks so good!! 😍
your hair always looks perfect !!!! i really love it :) :)
this was the most helpful video i have seen in a long time!!! oh my god thank you so so much!!! x
Watching this while getting ready. 💜
when I write I tend to fall in love with one line but then nothing else measures up or fits in the song. Do you ever feel this way and do you have any suggestions for how to get over it?
write it down, maybe even forget it, come back to it another day.
(usually works for me :))
I find myself in this position a lot and there are many different things I tried that could work for you.
One is writing up as many lyrics as you can come up with that could highlight or fit that line. You can write as much as you want and when you're done, ignore the original line and match them up together to what could fit in a melody or a topic. When I first tried this I ended up completely forgetting about the first line and lead the song into a whole other direction. It works and is also good for testing out different things.
You could also keep a journal or folder to write all those lyrics down. If something ever comes to you, write it down. When you come back to it you may also find a lyric that fits what you're currently writing. If not that, you could also piece them together.
I wrote one song with a lyric like that and I solved it by finishing the whole entire song, whether it lived up to the lyric or not. If you play it several times, you can see if it did end up fitting or some lyrics were definitely shaky and fix them accordingly.
Hope this helps!
I've been songwriting for coming up on ten years now and I had never even considered your advice of listening to a song and then imagining how I would write it. It goes to show that no matter how long I've been doing something, there are always new lessons to learn. Thank you, Tessa!
You're wonderful, and such a fantastic role model to so many of your audience x
I love how this is true for pretty much every creative career.
I love how you skipped the whole eyeliner, lip part in a jumpcut while still on the same train of thought, I giggled. You look lovely and you give lovely advice. Thanks for getting ready with us today
your hair looks really good like this Tess!
tessa what concealer did you use??? it looks so freaking good and you blended it so easily with just your finger whaaattt
Ornella I'm pretty sure she mentioned using the two faced born this way concealer, in her 'how cruel is my makeup bag' video I think
Great tips. Faced a lot myself and have backed away from doing what I wanted to do, due to the fact that nothing was original. Keep up the good work and the good vibes!
The lighting in this is stunnningg
I am so excited for this month. 😊
In an interview, Bill Hader once talked about how he would get the worst anxiety right before doing skits on SNL and to combat it he would come out saying something other than what was written on the script, just for his opening line, and it would immediately calm him down because he realized he screwed up, which was his biggest fear, but he was still there and everything was fine. So whenever I’m performing I like to remember that little anecdote to remind me that even if I mess up things will go on and everything will be okay ❤️ love you Tessaaaaa
