Odessa [acoustic version]

an acoustic stripped down arrangement of a song I wrote for my band Covet. Happy to announce we are going back on tour:
dates: tix.soundrink....
note: The song was named Odesa or Odessa after the Ukrainian city my violin teacher was from. This song was dedicated to him. He did so much for my musicality and discipline and always believed in me/pushed for the best out of me. As everyone already knows, Ukraine needs all the help they can get right now:

Just spent 150 minutes playing through your Acoustics and other playthroughs with my 2 and a half year old girl. She locked eyes with the screen, let her head move to the rhythm and was fingering imaginary strings in the air. Despite her tummy ache, you were still able to bring her to a place of beauty tonight. Thank you for the unrivaled inspiration. ❤

[@TavisAllen]

Congrats! What kind did you get: acoustic, classical, or electric?

[@caroxoxo]

thanks! I’m going with acoustic for right now because I’m truly a beginner, haha. don’t think I’ll get anywhere near yvette’s mastery soon.

Woaw i am so happy! You are in for a ride finally? All the best, enjoy and love the process. Your life will be nothing but full of learning experiences from here on..

Such a beautiful name, it's cute how you still have her in your mind.

[@weirdfish9447]

this is my favorite song off technicolor!

[@bluesdealer]

Same!

[@Beasttreefort3]

this song and tuning just exudes peace. The trills on the violin add some much depth and a second voice that feels a little more ernest than the constants in the guitar. so good! thank you for sharing this acoustic version!

[@notilter419]

The music is great, yet where is the song? I was waiting for her to sing right until the end. She's got the voice, sure. No lyrics, here, unfortunately.

[@__lxst.ghost__]

@@notilter419 the instrumental music is very beautiful, it doesn't need a lyrics to be precious and a lot of classic music artists prove it

[@grayaj23]

That was incredible. I feel 100 pounds lighter and 5 years younger just listening to it.

[@saxmania18]

This was the song that got me through the toughest moments of the lockdown. Never had a song made me feel a sense of optimism. We sure as hell need some light now.

This is my favourite song it’s helped me through the darkest moments in my life. There’s just something so enchanting about this song which makes it so enthralling to me as well as an inspiration for hope. Whenever I have a shitty day I remember this song and it always lifts me up and small smiles plays on my face. Thank you for creating a soothing space for me Yvette with the hope and beauty in your songs .

[@frayed3nds]

Beautiful as always. My favorite song of yours. The acoustic arrangements always take it to a different dimension. Thank you, Yvette!

[@oyobass]

I followed a link here and started weeping. Weeping out of joy for the beauty of the music, out of sorrow for the war in Ukraine and for the way you inspire people. You are truly one of a kind! Thank you for being who you are and sharing a little bit of that with us.

[@eduliborio8]

What a beautiful piece of music, Yvette! Amazing and emotional melody. Thank you. Art is also a way to bring same peace to the world, to everyone lives everywhere.

Good to hear some peace and beauty. Love the inclusion of the violin, and it’s additional dimension of soul.

[@TiagoSilvaa]

This is absolutely my favorite song in the album. This got me through so much in the past months. Thank you, Yvette! I'll be here continuing listening to your music.

[@cailinhernandez5136]

Hey Yvette, you’ve been a huge Inspo to me, the whole reason I started playing guitar basically. Watching your videos from 8-10 years ago until now, such an inspiration seeing how far you’ve come. I wish to be as great as you one day, as you’re an inspiration to thousands around the world! Much love 💕

[@Joethetoolguy]

You really are amazing on dem strings. Hope to catch you on tour.

[@chrisstratton987]

Yvette's music takes a power washer to our soul. It allows us to reconnect to our private, gentle and vulnerable emotions that we keep tucked away for fear of damage.

[@rezkjamal1994]

Thank you

[@ThinWhiteAxe]

Some of the guitar tone and the arrangement kinda reminds me of William Ackerman. The guitar reminds me of his album Imaginary Roads and the violin reminds me of the opening piece from Passage, Remedios. there's also a piece with a viola solo over guitar on that album, which I love because I always think viola is an underused soloing instrument.

[@sicko_the_ew]

I can't recall seeing you so sad (and angry) - or so it appears to this stranger who has never met you, anyway. In a sad or pensive song or passage of a song, you normally have moments where that smile will break out and shine, where something has sounded exactly as you wanted it to - some musical joy breaking through during the expression of some less ebullient feelings in music. So I'm guessing there were other things on your mind as you played this. (Especially when you dug into the guitar like that. That's not something you often do?) So musically, humanly, artistically beautiful, but I get the point. (Or what I think might be the point.) Thank you.

[@swimagainst]

I hope that the history of music gives you the place you deserve and that you remain enduring, surpassing each cycle of change for many, many years to come.
