Sky McCreery - Gabe (Official Video)

js came from the live! it was very short ofc but my thoughts are: 1. the lyrics are very deep that makes the song very beautiful. 2. the camera shots are incredible. 3. tell me if i’m wrong but i think that the ending might have a continuation with other songs u might release later on….if so i’m so happy to know that ur back into making music and letting people hear ur story! 🖤 LOVE U SKY

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Ive been listening to you since 2021 i can’t explain how much you inspire me

musica boa demais povo BR agradece por mais uma musica pra refletir e pensar em tudo

It’s beautiful

Sky, this is beautiful !

😢It's beautiful and I want to say so many things but I'm stopping myself I hope he is okay

Windowsill is by far your best song, and it is because of the way you sing in it. It amazingly beautiful, and emotional, and very moving. It's very reminiscent of Benjamin Francis Leftwich, an amazing vocalist and outstanding lyricist. I'm just wondering why you don't sing like that all the time.
By the way, I forgot to say, this song is very beautiful too. A close second.

I love this, glad you are back to making music, keep at it!

I love this song

ever since i've heard your cover of drew barrymore i've been addicted to ur voice and songs. ur songs help give me a sense of calm in a crazy world. please never stop making music and following ur dreams. thank you🤍

i usually don’t comment on stuff but i first heard stopped giving up in 2017 on soundcloud n it resonated w me so much i’ve been keeping up w u since n i’m so glad i did ! u r incredibly talented :)

I literally can’t stop listening to you I hope you keep making more music <3

u never fail to amaze me sky!!! missed ur voice and hope ur doing well<33

this might sound bad but this song made me feel bad for this girl who used to be my friend before she was neglected to the point of having no meds and she started getting really violent. She made a threat against the school and a hit list of kids in our class, but i wasn’t on it.

i still remember walking down the hall back to class after the principle and counselors had called us to talk one by one. I had known her for 3 years :/

I hope Gabe is ok

this song breaks my heart, i hope your friend is doing well. wonderful video sky

Gabe

lyrics to "Gabe" by Sky McCreery

I had a friend named Gabriel who said he would kill me.
We spent a summer in Utah, sent there for healing.
And nobody knows...
I laid alone in my sleeping bag,
The stars were my ceiling.

You'd think that I'd hate you now.
But I hope you're okay.
Where'd they take you
Once I escaped?

I had a dream that my dad picked me up,
And we drove away slow in his cherry red truck.
I wish I saved you, too.

(Oh, oh, oh, ohhh, oh, ohhh, oh, oh)

You're off the rails again.
Kept the voices in your head for so long.
Must've been so difficult.
They said 'It's for your benefit.'
Then took you off your medicine.

Who were they trying to help?

You'd think I hate you now...
But
I hope you're okay, I hope you're okay
Where did they take you
Once I escaped, once I escaped?
Ohhh

I had a dream that my dad picked me up
We drove away slow in his cherry red truck
I wish I saved you.
I wish I saved you, too. 💔

This is so lovely and kind
I hope Gabe is OK, and finds this one day.

This song makes me think of my friend. She abused me but now I wish people could have loved her because that's all she needed. I miss her.

survivors guilt is a bitch, but it will get better

Felt like I'm Gabe, and this song heals a part of me

this healed me in more ways than i can even begin to explain. thank you sky.

i came from your tiktok promoting this song and i’m not gonna lie a lot of tiktok promoted songs are ass and something i’d never listen to but i can’t say the same for this one it is so beautiful and i immediately added it to my playlist

Such a beautiful song and message <3 Thank you for making this.

I love your story
It's very moving
I can understand the feeling. As i might be ftm (still figuring it out)
Dont worry, i can see you as a female
I hope u have an awesome day

i wish people i’ve hurt then realized later i was ill would understand. 
i won’t reach out to them, i think they hate me now, not everyone can be understanding, they don’t need to be.

I love this song Sky!

Came from your TikTok. Read the story, Sad that these places exist and do these things to teens who just need a little bit of help. I hope Gabe is doin' good and finds this song one day, So he can know how much you cared. How much SOMEONE cared about him.

Only 11k views is so unfortunate 😢

This masterpiece deserves more love😭‼️

Класс❤

Luv this

Today is the second day without my John. We have been together for 7 years. The abuse…the pain the addiction. I needed him so much but he couldn’t get the help he needed, he hurt me so badly so many times. But now that he’s gone…I miss him so much, all I want is him. I don’t care about the pain, I wish I saved him.

I know how hard I tried, i wish I was enough for you. I miss you John.

I broke down crying to this song for about 20 minutes. It reminded me of two people I lost. The first was my best friend Mariah, I met her after I transferred to a new middle school in 6th grade. She was the first person to reach out to me and we became inseparable. However, she was often bullied, mainly being called white trash and for having a single mother. I tried helping, but, it wasn't enough. She had lost her will to keep going, and by the time it was her funeral, it became soul crushing knowing the person in the coffin was just a few months older than me and only 13 years old. She had so much to live for. I could also say the same thing for my older brother. At least I can say he died doing what he wanted to do (flying a plane while doing a tour). It hurt equally as much when his best friend knocked on my family's door in uniform, but luckily it was at least 2 years apart.

I hope gabe is okay. Where did they take you, gabe?

i LOVE this song, it’s so underrated ❤

Such a beautiful song. Keep releasing music, you are wonderful.

this song is so underrated

half of the views are probably me, this song had been on repeat since it came out

Immediately thought of a friend, she was the most beautiful, caring, forgiving and sympathetic person. She loved dancing, taught her how to cook and in a way despite being 2 years apart in age, I acc treated her like my daughter. I was an idiot to push her away because of a depression I was dealing with. Now she's gone, she passed last September and now there's just a void in my chest, I've sincerely never cried when someone passed but this one hit home. Rip Kiki, long live you and only God know how much I love and miss you, I wished I was able to save you.

You’re a beautifully talented song writer, your song ‘Something About You’ drowns me in so much emotion ❤

Fellow victim of the troubled teen industry here. Spent 3 years locked away in a hellhole across the country hundreds of miles from anyone I'd ever known.
One of the ways the program would break us is that they'd force us to do interviews with potential clients. Desperate parents who only want to find the best place for their kids to get help. They made us lie to those people and convince them that their kids would be safe there. That the program would save them.
I understand I was a child and that I was in a situation where it was either do what they wanted or get abused even more. I know that I was only a kid and that I shouldn't feel bad for saying what I had to so I could survive. So I could go home. Hug my baby sister again.

But I lie awake at night wondering how many lives i ruined. How many children suffered, all because I wasn't strong enough to tell them no. How many shattered childhoods are my fault because I was too weak to stand up and tell them no...
