Yebba - October Sky (Audio)

[@gerardhern]

October Sky builds a quiet symphony around a particularly potent memory of Yebba’s mother-a high school science teacher who sometimes brought home the bottle rockets her students had constructed for class. “I wrote this whole story about remembering her sliding down the hall and telling us ‘Come outside we’re shooting off bottle rockets,’” Yebba explains. “That memory came to me and the words just spilled out: this story of her and the promise that she broke, in a way, because she killed herself in October. I genuinely feel like she was standing there in the room with me as I was writing it, in my studio apartment in Brooklyn.”

Didn't know this. Thank you for sharing. If possible, it makes me love this song even more.

[@TheJluv03]

Just reading that while listening to this song😓 wow... The emotions, the melodic beauty in her voice... such a lovely tribute to her Mother.

[@felicialally5703]

i mean her voice and technique stunned us all, but this woman is going to go down as a phenomenal songwriter. her stories, those melodies and changes. crazy.

[@tiffanystaten3911]

This was the lullaby that i never knew I needed and will cherish…soulful, calming, poetic. And now I’m counting down to the album release ⏰

[@GodsgirlJ]

I really hope she puts out an album

[@LuvuyoNdyenga]

@@GodsgirlJ It's coming out in September 10th

[@GodsgirlJ]

@@LuvuyoNdyenga omg I’m so ecstatic we aren’t worthy lol this is a big deal

[@ThatsSoRaechel]

The live/acoustic version is a whole nother level of lullaby!!!

[@playingAnonymously]

This song hits so hard after October 7th.

[@elysa_janel]

This is the song they play after a coming of age movie during the credits . 10/10 miss yebba!!! Will be impatiently waiting for this album!!!!!!🥳🥳🥳🥳

[@felicialally5703]

this style is so interesting. I mean, she's given glimpses of an apparent folk musical heritage in her other singing and songwriting, but this is gorgeous. can't wait for more!

[@kripasagarcoley]

Love it. The storytelling. the emotion. the VOICE. It feels like an old song that I've always known...

[@rhythmandgrooves869]

For anyone wishing and hoping for an album who happens to read this comment: She just announced on Instagram that her new album drops in September. I can’t think of the last time I was this excited for an album to come out. This song is really beautiful, Abbey. If you read this somehow, thank you for bringing us in on a glimpse your healing journey. You’re loved. ❤️

[@rioaditomo]

Same! It's been ages since the last time I got so excited over an album release.

[@ramona4128]

The perfect mixture of jazz, gospel, soul, and folk unique to Yebba!

[@SababaSwift]

October's 7th. Never forget!

[@shaunriley14]

That run she does at 1:17 - 1:19 is insane 🤦🏾🙌🏾🔥. No words to describe Yebba and her incredible voice. 😊🙌🏾🔥

[@davidlarson3905]

I can’t remember the last time anyone (including myself) was this excited for music to be released. This is really something special - thank you for this!!! 🖤

[@davidlarson3905]

Also, big Fleet Foxes vibes with this one and I’m here for it 🦊

[@twinqt578]

Any mom's battling severe depression. This song is a beautiful reminder as to why you should keep holding on for your babies. ...Hi Mary! See?..... I do love Yebba too😁

[@lunabear]

my heart! 😭❤️ DROP THAT ALBUM, MA'AM, WE ARE READY

[@MsJrzy]

[@deepikanara8834]

I can hear the melancholy steeped into the memories of BIG and little moments of joy. Stunning! I can hardly wait for Sept. 10th.

[@sadiejones6971]

2:33 is perhaps the most beautiful moment on the album. so lofty and free 💕🥺

[@jagodaolejarz6118]

She is outstanding. One of a kind. She deserves millions of views.

[@gagelevigarrett700]

The producer robbed this song of its magic minimizing the song like this! Yebba’s vocal gymnastics is nearly untouchable. I’m so glad she went with the live, acoustic version of this song as her official video. It’s flawless and those runs!!

[@monicarenee7949]

Yes as amazing as this version is, I keep reverting back to the live

[@Peace-Love-Light]

I really like the live versión of this song as well.

[@msluvlee717]

I disagree. Went and listened to the live version before I argue lol. I get what you mean but don't feel it was robbed. I actually liked that your comment made me want to compare. The music on this version, for me, put me mentally in a different place than the live. It invoked similar yet different feelings. This one feels like an "I overcame" song where as the live felt like a cherished beautiful sad loved memory. Same yet different and both wonderful.

[@Eliza524]

Every time I hear one of your songs, beyond being blown away at how talented you are, I just need more. I need a whole album.

[@internetathi]

Your music is a moment in my life. I pray the healing you so generously offer us, the world, finds you and your life.

[@DrGrant-ij1it]

This is Defining moment in music history this is what I’ve been waiting for

[@felicialally5703]

I agree. She has taken her time to be intentional about what she wants to contribute to the conversation - that is contemporary music. They say that still waters run deep. For all of the collabs, "featuring"s and covers, I'm glad to hear her true voice again.

[@ladyrib2648]

A voice like silk. Music from the heart...that reaches the heart.

[@MrJonboy]

2:19 is my favourite part, this song really is something else!

[@mosheshalev9929]

October 7 never forget, never forgive

[@okuni12Q]

Only Yebba could make me cry from a run. Just what talent

[@arianthelighthunter]

this is just so beautifully painted. We kno she crazy w the vocals but the artistry hits different. legacy shit. thank u yebba, this album will cradle generations to come.

[@kelseynorman5526]

truly one of the prettiest songs I've ever heard. Just wow.

[@lonieboi1]

The song writing is incredible.

[@Biawaksakit]

I feel resurrected by that "da da da da da" part.... I can't

[@thegreatestofthemall9942]

Incredible, easily one of the best singer of this century, the emotions, the control, god have mercy

[@dablkcarriebradshaw]

Losing my own parent in October of 2012, this song just....Love you daddy. Miss you forever, until we meet again. ❤

[@rterchk]

The way your voice paints the perfect picture is amazing! I can’t wait for the album.

[@inbaltranslation9841]

is this.. the most beautiful song I've ever heard?

[@quincy1721]

It just kept getting better as I listened

[@meitalb77]

I just discovered this amazing song yesterday by chance on Spotify and have been listening to it on loop ever since. There is something so special and addictive about it and also so relevant even today in our reality in the October sky in Israel with the missiles. How subtle and unique, you are super talented.

[@luxxpro2206]

You are a legend and you haven't even released an album yet!!!!! SING!!!!!

[@MsFireflygurl]

Guys were so close to an album!! 😭😭

[@MannyGrey]

This reminds me of how music used to feel.

[@afrobabyburner]

Yebba makes onions cry 💜

[@דנה-פ2כ]

What a voice and that song!! it brings me back to those beautifull and special balads from the 90's .my favorite decade.

[@AmberPearcy]

My favorite thing is when I can hear her smiling in her vocals. She expresses so much with her signing. You’re amazing Yebba!

[@Thecharmedonee]

Oh yebba you never cease to amaze me I am so glad I exist at the same time as you

[@TheLarece]

Yebba is otherworldly. Her voice is a gift. I can't even remember how I came across her music, but I am glad I did. :)

[@andreaswandersson6295]

Sublime songwriting & performance. Beautiful, haunting, heartfelt and poetic. Thank you!

Just incredible. So moving

[@domzzolanski6417]

I had always thought, If only lorde's songs is sung by someone who had strong vocals then I could listen to her songs in earphones, now I don't need to imagine how that would feel.

[@ellisagutierrez9574]

Dear dear Yerba, I believe that there is nothing you can put out that I won’t absolutely love. This is a gorgeous piece of music all around. More! More! ❤️

[@lloolloollooii]

I have been listening to this song for the last two years. the pure emotion, phrasing, yebbas powerful and unique voice, the meaning behind the lyrics, just amazing! these days it has even more meaning to me, since the brutal terrorist massacre of 7/10/23, that started with rocket's in our october skies...

[@wildlifegardenssydney7492]

Y E B B A hearing your stunning songs. So beautiful, I could listen to you for hours apon hours. I really do adore your songwriting, and enthralling visceral voice! You are the best of the best. I am so excited for your album. Hearing October Sky and noticing your dragonfly tattoo allowed my tears to silently flow for the idea of my mother, noting I will never have that need met. The dragonfly on your hand awoke me to the memory of peace and communing with dragonflies and nature in the days after my Mum died. It feels like yesterday that I became a motherless mother, and yet, so long ago too. Yebba a big hug to you xox you are doing great things and I wish you the very best of the best! xoxo Warmest Regards Sez. Your dragonfly tattoo also inspired me to nerd out and do a little dragon fly research scientific and other:- “The dragonfly signifies a path to new world's. They are about transformation and a change in perspective, maturity, depth of character, power and poise. A dragonfly encourages you to dive into your emotions and asks your spirit to soar with your true colors. Have you seen a dragonfly in the sunshine? It is gorgeous! “Just like you are Yebba xox

I have had the live, stripped down version, on repeat, alllll day. Started at 7 am, it's now 6pm.😂 THANK YOU so much for this song. It's my daddy's bday. He died in 91. Stroke. In a car, on the side of the road. He loved me SO MUCH. It scarred me for life. Ive cried at least a gallon of tears today. No joke. Purged energy that's been stuck for decades. THANK YOU.🙏❤️ You are an earth angel,Yebba. I LOVE YOU.❤️🙏🔥
