this poem makes me want to breathe again
Listening to this poem: 777 goosebumps. Thank you for this.
Favorite poet. No one close. Amazing penmanship

Agree, but.. Buddy is kind of close :)
I was shivering throughout the poem but broke down upon hearing about the lady and those three poor souls at the animal shelter. Thank you for this beauty, Andrea. Stay strong, healthy and so full of love.

This is the exact point I did too!
So, I heard the soft music in the background, I heard a poets voice, but I thought "Nope, not gonna cry, nope, not me"...well... Somehow, whenever I watch a video on this channel, it gets more evident to me how poetry has an untouchable and mysteriously magical side that I can't fully describe, the force to pull people closer to an emotion and let it resonate so deeply in anyone listening.

" I heard a poets voice, but I thought "Nope, not gonna cry, nope, not me". " I wasn't gonna lie to myself. I knew straight away I'd cry like a baby
This person doesn't even know I exist but oh my god, I love them so much. Will keep coming back to this for my dose of goosebumps
Just broke my own record of goosebumps listening to poetry. Speechless.
Goosebumps and tears 🥺
I think you're helping me to see the beauty again. Thank you.

Yes! I see it too! ❤️
I have your new book with this poem in it but there's nothing like hearing you say it. Absolute beauty.
Andrea never disappoints. Gold.
I always think I’m ready for a Gibson poem but time and time again I am truly not ready
I think I’m setting the world record for unexpected tears during the most beautiful and perfect poem I’ve ever heard. It’s the poem that makes me say, “that’s it. It’s all there. There’s no use writing another poem.” 💜

There is always use for another poem!
I literally had 10000000000 goosebumps throughout this. Omggggg!!!
This is honestly one of the most beautiful and moving things I've ever heard.
Started with this poem giving me goosebumps by the end I was crying so well done yet again
Tears and goosebumps the whole time. Seriously.
sobbing in the good way. i love andrea so much.
I just got to see my babies heart beat today, and this poem put that feeling into words. I dont know if ots the hormones, but im sobbing with joy.
I’ve seen you Live so many times And getting this video was everything I needed and more! You are amazing. I will be waiting in the front of every line at any show I’m able to see just to hear you Change the world one beautiful poem at a time.
I needed to hear that. Thank you. God bless you.
I have listened to feminist poems, i have listened to poems about racism, poems about gender equality or against homophobia, poems about mentak illness. But sometimes I really wonder if poetry is all about pain, what about poems such as these? I, for a split second forgot about feminism, homophobia racism. It's been a long while since i spent 5 minutes unaware of hatred. We need more poetry that makes the pain go, at least for some minutes.
One of my absolute favorite poets ❤️
This moved me to tears. ❤️❤️❤️
My new favourite poet 🥺❤️
Tears poured from my eyes hearing this poem! Your words touched the core of my spirit and I just want to say thank you ❤️
I like the music with it
Every time she sings her song with that music on the back: 999 goosebumps
You are my inspiration 🙏 Breathtaking writing
I love Andrea for their holy sweetness and authenticity. I strive to be just like them
Andrea Gibson 😍 I wish to see you in Sweden one day - so brilliant!
Thank you. This is excellent.
Had me in a trance. Breathtaking...💐💐
Literal goosebumps and body tingles. Thank you for sharing your soul on stage and then to the whole damn universe. You’ve caught me when I had no one else, when I needed to hear someone’s voice be kind and honest. I showed a few of your father and your struggles with your past traumas; I showed to my mother and she couldn’t understand what I was trying to say, or maybe she just didn’t care. But I yelled through you and with you. Keep fighting; you’ve got so much more light to give the world. Voices are far more powerful than some people think. Voices change the world.
Why does this make me want to cry?
they are so so talented, love this!!
I thought you should be the first to know but listening to your poem… I’m pretty sure I broke the record although math has never been my strong suit. I also just received notification that my signed copy of your new book will be arriving Friday so I’m pretty sure the record will fall yet again
You have been giving me goosebumps for a decade. i don't do favorites, but you are forever my favorite word alchemist. the tears never stop. thank you doesn't cut it.
Thank you for splitting my heart open with your words. Forever grateful.
588 goosebumps.

Thank you! 😊
Okay I didn't get the Prince part. What happened there? Why didn't he play any songs in his list?
Are you kidding me Andrea 😭
TRAVIS SET THAT RECORD YEAHHHH
Ngl the poem wouldve been better without the music imo
I don't like the music. I feel it takes away from the poem/art.
