I have no words
no words that can heal
all that is broken
or for what they feel
no, I have nothing
for this sort of pain
but we can keep loving
We will love in their name
And though some are broken
We will not be scared
You can't take away kindness
You can't take away care
But I have no words
that can help with the pain
My heart’s with the grieving
because what could I say.
Holy shit..
Her voice is breathtaking
Miss Mislukt that's why I've been subscribed for so long. Her voice is outstanding
Miss Mislukt i guess u could say. u have no words
Emma Larson ogm your the worst i love you
I love how Dodie doesn't show her face in this video because it really makes you focus on the words and the message she's trying to say.
"Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Martin Luther King, Jr."
A quote we must all hold dear to our hearts at such a time.
BabyOpal I love this. thank you. :)
BabyOpal I actually am planning on having this tattooed on myself on my 18th in 6 months
BabyOpal ty so much for this
this is so beautiful, thank you
I'm so glad that 1.8k of you feel the same way as me...we must stick together and radiate enough love to kill all the darkness and hatred in the world 🌍❤️
I know this was written for the Manchester bombing, but I visit it after every tragedy. Today was supposed to be for spreading love, instead kids were shot dead at school. This is why I stand for stricter gun laws in america, for the families and the lives that were snuffed out too early.
bouquetofllamas Tragedies like this can't keep happening. Its really sad just to be scrolling through the comments to see people saying what tragedy just happened today, for that day! Why were there so many in such little time?! This was only 10 months ago but we are here and this is our world now
america just had another shooting 27 august 2018
we need gun control
like now
I don’t even live in America but I get panic attacks if I think an alarm is going off/has gone off because im terrified of school shootings. Almost all my dreams have alarms or school shootings in them and sometimes I’m terrified to go to school. The problems in America are scaring us all.
I highly agree, and I know this is years late, but tragedy in general is a horrible thing, and until the world smartens up about everything, they’ll keep on coming (I know this ruins what I just said, but this was at 777 likes, can’t like now can I?)
I totally understand what you mean about gun laws but look at what happened in Texas. A man with a gun went to a church and started shooting at people and he was dead within seconds, due to another man with a gun. Only two people died that day. If we had no guns, what would happen when someone bad gets one? Could you imagine what would've happened if no one had a gun at that church?
Two years later and mid pandemic this song is still so real and raw. "You can't take away kindness, you can't take away care". The amount of people caring in these times is so reassuring that there is hope for humanity.
If only people were like everyone in this comment section- the world would be such a better place.
if only, if only.
Grace Platt I watch a lot of UA-camrs, but Dodie's fan base is BY FAR the kindest and most supportive group of people I've ever seen. You're all so amazing. ❤️
Agreed.
DFTBA - Nerdfighteria stands with the Dodie fans too. Wish both groups could unite worldwide.
Lel I was notified there was a response here that was "it would also be dull", but apparently that's been removed. Either way... Yes, how dull life would be if everyone was a decent human being! That would be horrible! War, tragedy, death, crime, poverty, inequality, and injustice are the spice of life, right?! The world and living would be meaningless if people were thoughtful and pleasant!!!
Really, I don't get the logic of that comment. I know it can be debated (and has been in sci-fi media) about what a 'utopia' sort of society would really be like, but I don't even mean thing should be 'perfect' or some false sense of it. Just. People having basic, decent qualities. Eesch. Sorry for this ramble, and again, I'm glad this comments was removed.
"But we can keep loving
We will love in their name"
Tears started, such a beautiful song x
Not sure if anyone has posted but chords are C Gm Dm F. Use Fm for the middle two endings though, where she goes high at the end of the phrase. Thank you for this tribute, prayers to all affected
Thank you for the chords❤️ Sending all my love and prayers to those affected❤️❤️❤️
THANK YOU DEVIN
Devin O'Donnell THANK YOU :))
i came back for the florida shooting.
Yes 💖
I came back for vienna shooting. In uncertainty, this is very soothing
There hasn't been a song more true than this one. Exactly how I feel 😔
lost one of my best friends to that attack. rip Georgie. I loved you so much
CinderEllie Pie I was there and I am so sorry 😞🙏🏼 RIP.
KatieM. I am so sorry for the both of you when I heard about the attack I just wanted to hug them and give them all I could I don't even live that far from Manchester and the thought of them just killing innocent teens just..sickens me
CinderEllie Pie I'm so sorry for your loss. even though I wasn't there and am in Canada I still feel effected by it. I am truly sorry for your loss.
I am so sorry for your loss. Rip. Stay strong, I know you can do it xxx
i just want to give everyone that was there and there family's a hug and tell them it's going to be okay
this song leaves me with chills. every time i hear it. i'm a person who sings along with every song, but i can't bring myself to sing along here. this song speaks volumes. i don't understand how someone could hurt others, but this is the way to combat against the terror and pain in the world. dodie, thank you for this. everything you do means so much to me. i sang sick of losing soulmates at my talent show. people cried. thank you for this.
Thank you for this song Dodie. One of my close friends died in the attack and I can't really work out anything. I'm heartbroken. This is a comforting song to hear
I am so so sorry for you, I wish I could make it better, nobody deserves to go through that :( Things will get better again, I promise, we are all here for you ♡♡
wow sorry to hear that...hope the pain heals and you stay strong...you are right...this is a great song
Sam Willis My deepest condelences to you *hugs* Bless your friend. Im so sorry
I'm sorry
Sam Willis oh my god. that’s awful. I hope you’re OK. stay strong 💗
"My heart's with the grieving...because what could I say."
Those are some powerful relatable words dodie...thank you.
Agreed
yes
Moll
Molly York what words? there is no words
Khanaja Scott Productions Is that supposed to be a joke
RIP to those killed in Manchester, and lots of love to those affected ❤️❤️❤️
Things WILL get better, everything has an end ❤️❤️
From Manchester, knew a lot of people at the concert, so scary to think about that happening on your doorstep

What happened was horrible. Imagine all those kids who experience these bombs every day, these kids who are afraid to leave the house because they might ger shot, these kids who cant sleep because of all the gunshots and bomb sounds. these kids who are looking for their parents knowing deep inside that they're not here anymore. The parenrs who are looking for their children hoping they're still alive. Women AND men who are killing themselves because theyd rather die than get raped in all this chaos. It's happening now. It's happening in those places everyday. This was tragic. Concerts are supposed to be fun, they're not supposed to make you feel afraid and unsafe. 22 people have lost their lives. 10000 people lose their lives at war every day in Syria and other countries. It's horrible. It needs to stop. It's not only happening here, it's happening there too.
uniivrse this is great because people need to realize that this is everyday life for some people and that way you said it wasn't attacking or judging at all and i just think you area really right
uniivrse *are
I feel so connected with the world right now, just sitting in my bedroom, never having been to machester, but still feeling with all of you. I can only repeat what dodie said, I have no words, but we can keep loving, I promise.
I just now realize what the Internet can make possible, and I'm so glad it exists, because I feel like this entire world is getting closer together in moments like this one... and what else do we have, expect for this world? Just a tiny piece of dirt in space, and yet so beautiful.
AMEN
Baguette Gott I feel very similar apart from unlike you I live in Manchester xx
it's people like dodie that will one day keep the world together.
preach
ukelleyle yes
ukelleyle she has a fanbase, I wouldn't really call that keeping the world together
Caelan Alexander They didn't say dodie was the sole purpose of the world being 'kept together' but rather the people _like_ her are the ones that keep the world together. The two things mean different things, smh.
it's not necessarily her fanbase, but more the love, support, and affection towards all humans that dodie puts out (in response to caelan)
Tears. Gotta keep being open and being loving and spreading kindness and connecting and celebrating all of the good in this world...it's the only way we can counteract the hate, the evil. Love you dods xx
Ily Melanie 💙 and what you and Dodie said is so true
Hello Fellow Melanie
Melanie Murphy n
I come back to this song whenever the world is a terrible place, and I've sadly been listening to this song quite a lot recently
so i just got out of a mental hospital for suicidal tendencies. i heard about the attack as i got out and saw you also posted a video and can i say. dodie, you are one of few good people left and i love that you use your popularity to talk and sing about things that matter. we need more people like you. thank you dodie.
karen ruiz I hope you're doing well and that you'll recover soon :) I know it's hard and I've been there before and the things I went through might not be severe as yours but I hope you're okay
karen ruiz I sincerely hope you are alright! I know I'm late, but I want you to know that a random stranger on the internet loves you and wishes you all the best :)
my best friend's friend died in the attack and she's heartbroken, I'm trying my best but I don't know how to help her. Thank you for this dodie xx
(edit - thanku for all the amazing replies)
I'm so sorry, all y'all stay strong because you are. We all need each other at times like these, and we're all here for you and your friends
Kate Thomson I'm so sorry! I know how you feel, my friends close friend died too and I don't know what to say that will make it better. even though I didn't know her, she was my age and liked the things I did, somehow I'm mourning someone I didn't know personally:(
I'm so sorry to both of you. ❤️
That's so sad, I hope you help each other make it through.
+I'm somewhere else Have some respect for the people who lost their lives and keep your fucking conspiracy theories out of the conversation please.
As I sat worried for the safety of my friends on Monday night I was truly astounded by the pure acts of kindness presented by the people of Machester. We shall not let terror break us, we shall stand united in memory of those who sadly lost their lives due to another persons monstrous act, fear not, continue to live with passion and love always, to live in fear fuels the hate. Concerts are a place where people should continue to have the time of their lives and feel safe. Nobody should go to a concert and never come home. My heart bleeds for the victims families at this sad time. The way you present feelings through art really hits me Dodie, I love this
Elissa Smith I praise you my friend...... Those words were beautiful...the terrorist attack in Manchester was horrid and awful.....I give my love to all the families who had lost someone so very important.....
Savanna Silva thankyou very much, thankfully my friends are safe but it could so easily have been them, I'm counting my blessings
This has hit so close to home, a place I spent my childhood in and continue to do now, in a venue i love. I don't think i can walk into Manchester Arena again without being overcome by great sadness but i'll never be scared to walk through the streets of my favourite city. Thank you for this Dodie, even though it made me cry it was lovely and your words will mean a lot to so many.
i always watch this video when tragedy strikes in my country because it speaks the words i cannot form due to utter shock and heartbreak. and you know whats really sad? the fact that i have come back to this video *4 times* since it has been posted.
Orlando.
Las Vegas.
Texas Church.
Parkland Florida.
im here to remember the thousands of innocent people who have senselessly lost their lives to gun violence.
What a beautiful song and I feel so sorry for those affected by the attack in Manchester 💕
im from manchester and thank you for your thoughts xxx
Lucy Watson thank you xx -from Manchester
Lucy Watson thank you, my best friend was friends with Georgina Callander and it's awful to see how upset she is. It's weird as everyone around here has been affected by it despite not being there. I think it's because of the fact it was so close to home and that it could literally have been any of us.
Two lines in and the tears start
IKR
Ummmm, who are you other Molly. I see you, I see you there. (The song is beautiful though and gotta admit I was crying a bit too)
Molly same
Molly GREAT NAME WELL SPELT
Ruth Bader Ginsburg died today.
i just heard and everyone i know is freaking out and losing it.
i shared a tribute video i found and quoted this song in the caption. every tragedy like this i think of this song and a couple of others. singing is release for me, and this sone is practically a mantra in 2020.
thank you for writing this. and lets hope this is the final gasp for this horrible time.
I am so sorry to those who have lost friends and family because of this disgusting act. I am deeply hurt by the innocent taken too soon. I am a Muslim young woman and just like the majority of the 1.6 billion Muslims on this planet, I condemn what happened in Manchester. We must stand together and not be filled with hatred. Thank you so much for this video, I hope it brings peace to those affected. xxx
I'm praying for your safety, and that no one treats you harshly based on your religion after the recent events. Sending love xx
Maytha Hussein that's so lovely. thank you, stay safe. :)
Maytha Hussein much love to you, remember there are many who will stand with you xxx
Maytha Hussein I'm also a young Muslim woman. Stay strong, and be careful. xxx
Maytha Hussein
thank you. you are NOT self obsessed and this song was perfect in describing things that have been going on all around me this week. i've been felling so shitty all week and had a good cry to this and i truly feel better, so thank you for being you and for being so amazing at a time like this xxxx We (manchester) will get through this and be stronger than ever, but it's amazing seeing the support from everyone, so thank you. just fucking thank you xxxxx
I felt this was about the Manchester attacks and if it is then this sums up my feelings ❤
So did i
CinderEllie Pie same😔❤
CinderEllie Pie Same
😔😔😔
CinderEllie Pie songs belong to their audience. It can be sum up your feelings either way!
This song is something I come back to a lot. For personal tragedy. For global catastrophe. To remind myself that people are there for one another.
i know this about the attack in Manchester. But this was posted around the time i lost my best friend to suicide, and it reminded me a lot of him. Fly high Asher.
You have a voice that can heal ❤.
Keevanski she has a voice and lyrics that can make people ball their eyes out.
All prays to Manchester
thank you.. from manchester 💔
Shadowdow same x pretty messed up here but we WILL get through it xx
a year on and the pain is still felt. thank you for reminding us you can’t take away kindness, or take away care. if you know someone who was affected, take today to tell them how much you love and support them.
three years later, this song is still relevant.
There's something about Dodie that is so human and I feel like that makes her so lovable and helps us feel for her when she's upset, it's so real and devastating
Couldn't have said it better myself. Absolutely love how she's not afraid to be so real in front of a camera. And her genuineness certainly shows.
All-in-JUAN thanks
This is beautiful Dorothy Clark, thank you.
It is so heart breaking, as we all know, but people coming together is the best we can do, and one day we'll learn that it shouldn't take pain and suffering for us all the get along.
I'm sending all my love to those who've suffered from the recent event in Manchester ❤️
profile pic/username 👌
Is it thoughhh dodie* lol sorry it was probably autocorrect tho
PhilsEyelash _ her real name is dorothy, dodie is a nickname..she does a q+a on it!!!!
PhilsEyelash _ I believe that her birth name is Dorothy haha
PhilsEyelash _ no, dodie's full name is Dorothy Miranda Clark
I know this isn't the original intention of this song, but it's being a comfort to me right now. I lost my mum yesterday and since then I've just felt, well, I can't explain it. But this song feels like a similar feeling, and it's comforting. Thank you dodie, you didn't mean for this to be an outcome, but thank you anyway
I'm back after george floyd. I'm so angry and upset, i ended up just sobbing after hearing this
Black lives matter. Anger is exactly what we should feel. Take care.
I’m doing exactly that right now. I’m so heartbroken and angry
For some reason this song made me realise that this isn't all some twisted horrid dream..this is real. This is real death. This is real people. This is real terror..
But you know what? I won't be afraid. Love is stronger than hate and we can all push through this together, I want everybody reading this to still go to concerts, still go to that event, don't be afraid to go to clubs and ride the tube. Islamic extremists want us to live in fear and we won't let them get what they want, I love each and everyone of you people❤️ I pray for Manchester,Paris,Stockholm and every other place that has been targeted by extremists.
I could write all this but at the end of the day there still are no words to describe they way this all makes me feel inside.
Can we please not use tragedy to enable fear mongering and accusation? Please just use this time to show respect for those grieving.
Casey Galloway Love will get us by ❤️❤️
fbroom822, thank you, you've put into words what I've been feeling, you're so much more eloquent. Can I use that?
Casey Galloway, "Islamic"? This has nothing to do with religion and the extremists aren't Muslim. Islam is a religion of peace and kindness. Just thought you ought to know. No hate. :)
Maisa k that's why I said Islamic extremists, not all muslims are a part of Isis and I know that :) sorry for the confusion and I hope I cleared it up a bit :)
I needed this today! Our city's broken right now, but we're strong and resilient! It's completely unacceptable that so many innocent lives were taken on Monday, and it's shaken me up completely. It's hard to believe that a world which has people like Dodie in it also has people who are willing to kill others in it! We love you Dodie❤️🙌🏻
Oh my gosh. I agree on such a level. Manchester that I remember as happy and united is broken. I just want to say thank you to all supporting our city. We need as much as we can. We are a team now. We can get through this time. xx
Special Kay what happened
Kiritsugu Emiya there was a terrorist attack at the Ariana Grande concert on Monday where children and adults were killed and injured. It's just diabolical! I was in Greece with my boyfriend at the time and we came home the next day to find everyone completely broken and upset! It's devastating that young lives were taken 😭😭😭
schizophrenic chameleon couldn't have put it better myself xx
Came to listen after the bombing in Beruit. After every tragedy that strikes the world this is what heals me best
here after george floyd and breonna taylor and so many racist killings. i always return here after these things; i came here after learning about 9/11 for the first time, after the manchester bombing, after the florida shooting. this is a comfort blanket, and i’m very glad it’s here.
Your words do help. Any amount of love helps the world, even just a little bit
Already at the very beginning I knew it is about what happened in Manchester. The thought that Hedy could have been at that concert takes all the words away from her and she is incredibly sorry for those who died or got affected because of that guy who blew himself up. That is how I understand her feelings in this song.
Hedy isn't any more important than anyone else just because she happens to be on UA-cam.
I think Violin Girl was talking about what Hedy means to Dodie specifically? Not sure but that's how I understood it.
Kiya Nichelle hedy is dodie's sister
Kiya Nichelle she's talking about how much Hedy means to Dodie specifically. Everyone is hurt but to have a family member be there would be just awful.
This randomly came into my head today as I was pondering what I am feeling in this isolating time. It makes me feel seen and helps me to see and feel connected with the world right now. Always, thank you
This is wonderful,,
"We will love in their name," I don't know if I'm right but this is spot on, living in manc at the moment it's incredible how many people have come together and are supporting each other in the aftermath,
Seeing how many people were bringing in food and drinks for the staff and everyone else in the hospital (broke my toe the following day..), there were literally truckloads of things brought to the hospital in the short time I was there it was so lovley to see.
this is beautiful. i was with my mum and older brother and we all got lost bit thankfully found again. things like this mean the world to me thank you so much. may those who suffered worse be blessed with love xx
I'm so sorry you had to be there, at such an awful time. Thank god you're safe.
Cute Sparkles || I'm so happy you found your family and made it out of there :)
I'm sorry that you had to be there, but I'm glad that you and your family are safe❤️
This is my aesthetic. Love to you and all those affected by the attack
About a movie Yes! I love this shot, the greyness of it and just the general message behind this.
Baby me yeah she is so incredibly talented!
About a movie I love how dodie can make something so beautiful out of such an awful event. About a movie, I just discovered your channel and it is also really beautiful, you are my aesthetic ;) xx
About a movie Thank you, very kind words. My sentiments exactly. I knew three people that went there... Only one came back unharmed (one died and one went into intensive care). Deepest of sympathies to anyone effected, you have our thoughts and prayers. Stay strong, stay amazing.
About a ovie
came back to this after i heard about george floyd 💕it really helped
I'm here again because of Notre Dame. It was such a beautiful building, but I am glad we did not lose too many things from inside the building.
thank you for this. i needed something to cheer me up right now, with everything going on, and your voice has always calmed down. thank you for everything, dodie.
As someone who was there all I can say to this is Thank You.xx
Lizzie Jane im so sorry you had to be there for that. Im from canada, and i cant even grasp what people who are near there are feeling, let alone those who attended the concert. I wish you the best💕
I'm so sorry that you had to be there at such a terrible time. I'm glad you're safe❤️
Lizzie Jane Very glad you are ok. Much love from across the world
Thankyou all. Manchester is one huge community and that is showing now more than ever. Your love is helping us all through it so thankyou!! Thoughts and prayers to all who have lost someone to this horrific act xx
Lizzie Jane nice to know that you're ok. Sending love from Italy.
Does someone know the chords to this wonderful song?

Thank you so very much
I'm left speechless after what happened that night.. this song, "no words" perfectly sums up how the nation is feeling after the attack. Dodie has real magic in her voice, and such beautifully written lyrics too!
I didn't realize how much pain I was holding in until I watching this and burst into tears
Kayla Marie I know, but there are always people who care, people like dodie
Kayla Marie same
same
Aww...I sympathize with you and everyone who did the same...take care
No words, but an endless amount of love from around the world 🌎💙
I like how people take this in more than one way. All the attacks and terrible things all over the world should be noticed and thought about, and people need as much help as they can get.
every time. every time i come back to this i find myself with tears down my face.
*All of my love goes out to the families that have lost someone close to them...What a tragedy 😔*
Hate will not win. It just won't. Because if it does, what do we have to live for?
Boozin' It would be a disgrace to the names of the innocents that dies if we were to let the hate and fear win.
Anyone watching this again after hearing about the attack (or accident) in London tonight?
and in vagas now
london? it was manchester
johnnaaa I was referring to an attack a few weeks after the Manchester attack in London
johnnaaa I was referring to an attack a few weeks after the Manchester attack in London
Coming back here almost a year after a mass shooting changed my hometown forever.
And right after some awful awful weeks.
thank you dodie
when i saw this on my subscriptions, i instantly said, "please do not be about the attacks." bc i'm in the office with people and bosses and i might just breakdown bc fuck knows how affected i am by the recent happenings. but dodie this is so beautiful i love u thank u and my heart goes to all the victims of every attacks in this world
anj b i was sitting in my study hall hour in school and i saw this and i though the same thing and i nearly broke down crying
If this was about the Manchester attack, I feel everything, as I was there. All I keep thinking is how could someone do such a thing? All I do is cry, I find it difficult to leave the house now, and I just keep thinking if this is how it has affected me, and I was safe and uninjured, how has it affected many people's families, and friends and other loved ones. I can't believe that someone could have done such a thing, at such an innocent event. Thank you Dodie, for addressing this, and for doing it in such a sweet manner. You're my idol, stay strong.
Alisha Hastings I'm sorry. I can't begin to imagine how you feel. Stay Safe❤️
Alisha Hastings it's only natural to have survivors guilt. The best way to get through this is to research up on who the victims were, and honour their lives in any way you can. It's okay to feel as though it's unfair that you lived and they didn't. If you ever need to speak to somebody, I'm always here for anybody who needs it.
Bryony The Overthinking Pigeon Thankyou
SaraTheSpaceKiddett Thankyou
I'm so sorry. This attack was horrid. My heart is with you and all the others affected or killed.
She used what she's passionate about to channel her emotions and put her feelings out and I love that
Revisiting this after the invasion of Ukraine, our love and prayers are with you.
im here for that as well one of the first songs i thought about
I wish I could leave a paragraph of my thoughts, but I have no words
Zaina Soliman was that a pun-
Zaina Soliman i see you on every dodie video and i love it
Zaina Soliman I saw you on Daniel's video and now this I think I'm in love
Tweety Howlter guess what..this is a friendship now
Julia Maroun yay:)
Thank you, it's been such a sad week due to the Manchester bombing that took place on Monday. It's amazing to see influential people such as yourself comforting and knowing you care about what happened. You're really helping those who need it
i felt i had to revisit this song again when i had no words to express how i felt when i heard of the shootings in New Zealand. my heart goes out too everyone who mourns today.
I was expecting her to stay silent...
A gospel choir could elevate this magic.
True YES
True TRUE
True yess
True when could a gospel choir NOT elevate music tho
This is very beautiful and extremely true. There really is no single word in the entire dictionary that can describe the terrible attacks which have happened, not only in Manchester, but the entire world too. My hearts go out to those who have lost a beloved one on the 22nd just to enjoy some music.
the word is hate. and hate must be stopped
*dodie takes one breath into the song*
*me: OMG I LOVE IT YOUR AMAZING*
my friends grandpa is dying and i sent this to her and its helped us tremendously because she usually turns to me to give her advice and most of the time i know how to help. this time i didnt, i legitimately had no words. this helped us SO much thank you dodie, much love x
I saw no words and I was guessing it was about the concert. Just me?
KatieM. Me too..
KatieM. I thought that as well
KatieM. Yes It's about Manchester.
KatieM. thought the same thing
KatieM. same
dodie is truly an artist not just because she sings and plays music but because every detail and attribute of it is meaningful. she has an amazing gift for doing that. i love analysing art of any kind and dodie makes it so rewarding to do so.
what i love the most about this song is that to me, the title is very important. not only can we understand that feeling of being lost for words at a time like this, but the camera position on her lips the whole time and the pace of the song make us focus on every word she does say. maybe i'm going to deep with this, but i think it says a lot about how we rely on each other to build ourselves up in unity. after the line "we can keep loving", i wondered what the next line would be. then "we will love in their name" made me cry.
dodie's music really is important.
. again here i am
at this thoughtful piece of art
for the wrong reasons
I had a random epiphany about this song today,,,
the grand irony of this song, with the name "no words" is that it's mostly words. The instrumental is very minimal, and the emphasis is very much on what she's saying. The lyrics talk about having no words to alleviate grief, and yet it is mostly words, of comfort, of regret. It kind of reminds me of the way that, when you comfort someone whose been through any tragedy, and even when you've been through hell yourself, words are so very futile, and yet words are also all you've really got.
Ok clearly, I spend too much time thinking about dodie. Sidenote, I love how this song has become a home for many people who are greatly affected by tragedy. It's great to have a song that can be that for so many people.
It's been a really painful week. Even if you have nothing to say to make it better it's nice knowing people care and everyone needs the comfort right now, so thanks dodie, you're doing more than you think❤️
Becca T IS YOUR PROFILE PICTURE NOORA!!!
Jessica Taylor yes I love her 😍
Becca T Noora is my queen
Dodie, these are the perfect words
i've found you
Hey my names Sadie and last year everyone used to call me shady Sadie :(
P H A N either youre the second person to tell me that or you've told me that before lol
Life After Beth took you long enough I'm everywhere
Shady Sadie wow okay you know i have bad eyes how dare
"for this sort of pain."
breaks me every time.
She had no words for the pain but she expressed it beautifully. So amazing
What a sweet gesture to such a horrible event. Dodie is such a loving person❤
Thank you Dodie. This song puts my thoughts into words. I know so many people who went to this concert and were lucky to make it out. One broke her leg, but thankfully she is otherwise fine. It makes me sick to think of the people in the world who are willing to kill innocent children at an event that was meant to be one of the happiest of their lives. Sending my love from the bottom of my heart to every single person who was affected. Stay safe, stay strong, stay hopeful.
All of 2020 sucks. Thanks dodie. This song is still relevant, and that sucks, but you make this world a little bit better
i know this is nothing compared to anyone but..
i have a cat. she's called daisy. i love daisy a lot. she's helped me with feelings, depression, etc, and she doesn't even know it.
now.. recently, daisy's behaviour has been a bit off. she shuts herself away and hides whenever possible. when we took her to the vets, we found out that she had cancer. now that was a few days ago, maybe a week, and today coming to this song..i broke. i hugged her so tight that i made me run away.
i'm not sure what we'll do, we've been told that we should just let her be happy and let her go but i'll miss her. if she'll be happy, then okay..
i'm just not sure, i love her a lot..
my heart goes to those who have got it much worse, and i pray that whilst we break, we break together.
just because someone else is in a full body cast, doesn't mean your broken wrist doesn't hurt. Please, be kind to yourself, and never compare your pain to others to invalidate your own. She meant enough to you to hurt you, and thats all that matters. I know, this is coming two years later, but I truly, truly hope you're doing well. Im sending love your way, incase its needed. And if not, a little extra love never does any harm
End this war, before they end us.
Be safe and strong guys :D
This song is really for the victims of Machester, Quiapo, Marawi, Bangkok and Syria.
BoredwithUA-cam_ ^^^^^^
Unfortunately the victims can not be reduced to only 5 places. The world has been suffering many losses which are not always thought of as much as they should be. But as you said, stay strong as only strength, boldness and love will make it better.
BoredwithUA-cam_ Thank you for mentioning Syria... it seems that people have completely forgotten about it these days. And my heart goes out to the victims of the Manchester attack, that's really heartbreaking 💔
I feel it's a song about all the attacks. As a Belgian, this song goes straight true my heart. It's been a year and 2 months, but it will never be forgotten.
Mankind must put an end to war before war puts an end to mankind. A beautiful saying, and one that is so relevant right now.
A beautiful soft song for such a harsh, tragic event.
There is more love than fear in the UK.
I wish I didn't have to keep coming back to this song but the tragedies keep adding up.
literally have tears in my eyes. the way how she keeps her voice so real and doesn't use any harmonizing techniques or even use the instrument that much really makes you focus and appreciate what she's saying. "you can't take away kindness, you can't take away care" this is so true and at such awful, unfortunate times as these we need to stay hopeful and although "some are broken" everyone has to do what they can to fight back and eventually i am almost positive and hope and pray with all my heart that we will beat these terrible terrible people and beat that hatred and negativity.
I'm so sorry to hear about your fan Gina. It's horrible how the world is nowadays. It's like even your house is safe anymore. You have helped so much with everything in life at the moment and I want to thank you. We all love you Dodie. ❤️❤️❤️
Lauren White Wait, what happened?
Madison H a terrorist attack occurred in manchester at an ariana grande concert. 22 people died, one of them being someone dodie knew (i think)
One of her fans was killed in the attack in Manchester :(
:(
I don't want to be disrespectful but I thought her name was Gina at least that's what I saw on twitter
Dodie, you beautiful human being, this awful world does not deserve any piece of you. I heard what you and Luke did with the fundraiser, and strangely it was that that made me cry the first time. And I haven't stopped since. Remember everybody, the only way they can win is if we let them split apart our communities. Support those affected, and respect your fellow supporters. We win this battle, not with violence, but with love and support and respect for each other. They will not win. They will never win. We stand united, and that's exactly what they don't want. Stay strong, everybody, and if you've been affected in any way by this terrible event, don't hesitate to speak to me in any way I have available. I've lost too many people, I know how to deal with grief, and if you're struggling to cope I can share my own ways of coping.
Just to add, if anybody does need to talk, feel free to add my snapchat so we can talk: bkiddier
Well said

Bryony The Overthinking Pigeon just so you know, most people are good people
This song expresses a feeling that we will all feel some day. Like others, I come back to it when tragedy strikes that leaves me feeling...empty. So rocked to my core that my foundation is cracked. To me, it expresses not just the pain from horrible events but that we still hope people are good, kind, loving and gentle.
There may be nothing to say, but this song is more than just words and it's what I think of when I need to be reminded that the world is still good.
Thank you Dodie.
Yeah. this. this song really helped me when my grandfather died, and now with coronavirus, and every time i get spooked and scared of the world we live in.
I can only say that words ain't enough
Rita Araujo -are you thinking about what im thinkin?-
What a reference
Thank you. From the bottom of my heart I thank you. What happened was traumatic and absolutely disgusting, for someone to take away 22 people/children's lives! As a Mancunian myself, I hope we can all stand together and stay strong. Like you, I have no words. I am in utter shock but we need to stay positive and stay together, as a nation. Because this is Manchester. This is England, this is the UK! And no one will ever get away with taking lives without a punishment from us. Our country is strong. Manchester is strong. We brought women's rights, computers, great talents and music. So thank you, once again.
This inspired me so much, and I'm not even from the UK ❤️ Lots of love and support has been going around here in the US as well, so keep in mind that we're here for you guys. At least I am. I can't speak for millions of Americans, but almost everybody here cares ❤️ Stay strong, Manchester
I'm somewhere else Where is this even coming from!?? Why would the U.S. bomb a pop concert in Manchester,fer Christ sake!??? Dumbest damn comment....Ever!!
squach623 !!!!! The us didn't bomb Manchester. But who ever did, we need to stay strong
Briana Allbright thank you so much and I really appreciate you being with us. We can all stand strong together and defeat them because we are positive, they aren't.
I'm somewhere else well if America bombed Manchester it would be hard for me to say what would happen. But the people who bombed us are truly evil, America aren't and plus we are allies (well at least I hope so) so being friends shows that we can stick together and support each other
I was supposed to see Ari Thursday, unfortunately she has cancelled the show but I completely support her decision. I have been non-stop crying ever since I saw the news. These innocent children were targeted. A concert is a place of love and freedom and some piece of shit destroyed it. It's heartbreaking and I cannot imagine how Ari and the families of the victims are feeling. It's going to take an immense amount of time for people to even begin to heal from this. My heart just goes out to the whole fandom and everyone affected. Thank-you for making such a beautiful song xx
Chatty Hattie I'm glad that you understand that she canceled. I saw that some people were complaining that "she wasn't hurt so she could keep playing her shows" and that absolutely crazy and bullshit.
Chatty Hattie you have summed everything i have wanted to say about this in a paragraph.
Even if she wasn't hurt physically, she probably needs to recover mentally. Having to go through that sort of tragedy takes a real toll on a person, and everyone needs to respect that.

i don't have a username I agree
