Following Yvette for years really feels like having a big sister just following her calling in life and just vibe along on the journey.

[BillyBadass]

My favorite part starts at 0:00 and ends at 24:57

[bradydyson]

The fact that she can do all that intricate picking work and still sing with so much soul is... something!!!

[calebmccardell]

It's like a grown up version of the Midwest emo stuff I was raised on. I love it.

[grayaj]

That was amazing. I can't really explain to people what it's like... "You just have to listen. Relax. Let it happen. Don't fight it. You won't be humming her music later, but if you listen to it enough, you'll immediately jump on anything she publishes." I think the first time I heard Shibuya I put it on repeat for an hour or so and it was different each time.

Music students in 500 years are going to be doing thesis-level compositionaL work on Yvette's music.

[ryansusoev]

Not enough can be stated about her musicianship. She makes me want to practice guitar 8 hours a day.

[yeeeeeeeee_e]

two videos a week and one is almost half an hour long, we have been blessed

[because]

Well hippity hoppity I certainly will never skip this boppity

[thCianci]

I was having a panic attack just now, got my cellphone and started scrolling like crazy until I updated it and this video showed up. Watching Yvette play and listening to these songs brought me peace... I can’t thank and admire you enough for dedicating yourself to your art and sharing it with us. I sing, and hope to one day be as inspiring to someone as you are to me.

i've been feeling numb for about a year now, but yvette's playing manages to make my heart beat faster

[ohwhatsarcasm]

This set brought me to tears of both sadness and joy more than I've cried this year. May you always be able to find your way forward Yvette. I'm sure a lot of people including myself owe it to you and the art you make for the emotion you evoke in the listener. Thank you so much.

[mrfifi]

It actually was so sick being a fan for so long and of porter Robinson and seeing these worlds collide. Shit was crazy in vr!

[lostitoto]

It's hard to imagine that this sound is coming from only one instrument

[MehmetN]

I really want you to become someone who can just posst youtube videos every so often and never think about tomorrow or rent. You are one of the people who saved my life and I want you to prosper.

6:50 - 7:30

Literally the best vocals I've ever heard and I can't get this section out of my head.

[speedmetalmassiah]

The way she plays guitar is so beautiful, she uses the whole instrument in such a unique way, somehow I think she grew up playing piano. And such a beautiful voice!

[domtom]

I can’t describe how much your music just scratches all the itches on my musical brain! And it’s just the smallest things you do too. I wish I had the understanding to describe it better, but you just play how my brain would want to play if it knew how haha

[benjammin]

I just recently found out me and my wife are expecting our first daughter. I'm so glad she can grow up in a world where she can look up to players like Yvette as role models so she knows she can be anything she wants to be. I hope she is as inspired by this beautiful music as I am.

[joesatchton]

So Yvette Young rightfully blows up during 2020, one of the worst years for the planet in memory, not just receiving the wider recognition she so obviously deserves, but also being one of the true bright spots during the most miserable of times.

And now, here in 2021, as we all look desperately to waking up from our collective nightmare, here is Yvette continuing to bring us sublime music and emotional release.

Yeah - we love you Yvette.

And we might not always deserve you but please - don't stop.

[misterhanimal]

I just played for my friend tonight who was having a rough night. She left, and now it feels like my turn to be taken care off. Thank you. Can't wait to catch one of your shows someday.
