here I am just another shout into the dark
You would think, we'd be loud enough, to cause a spark
but half the world cover their ears and cry
So we're screaming at no one
Screaming at no one
mmmmm
raise your arms raise your voice no one wants what we'll get
we're all scared here, with the future that's set
we will not stand still and watch it burn
But we're dancing for no one
Dancing for no one
the higher we build
the harder to see
paint over your strokes
and the ink will just bleed
please open your mind
we beg from a screen
what do I do
what do we do
Nothing we can do
tell me now, I am begging tell me are we okay?
I will write, I will craft, watch me work through the pain
not much to do but smile too hard
but I’m laughing with no one
laughing with no one
the higher we build
the harder to see
paint over your strokes
and the ink will just bleed
please open your mind
we sob from a screen
the higher we build
the harder to see
People only believe
What they need to believe
please open your mind
we sob from a screen
what do I do
what do we do
Nothing we can do
(there must be something we can dooooo)

the flow of this song seems so calm but there’s panicky undertones and i feel it in my bones. this is beautiful dodie
BIG RETWEET
the disjointed "what do I do" part mannn
Yeah!
"theres panicky undertones and i feel it in my bones" haha that rhymes :D
That describes me so so well
*seems calm but has panicky undertones
“nothing we can do” part of this song is so enchantingly hopeless? like i’m charmed but also really damn sad about it? anyone else?
“enchantingly hopeless” is the best explanation of this song
Anønymøus - oh so like depressed but you're in a fairytale.... coooll
But we're still raising our hands and we're still dancing.
Eventually someone will see.
And those non-caring generations will eventually die...
Me @ all of dodie’s music
Read the description, it sorta explains a little bit of that! :-)
this sounds like it should be in a dystopian film, it’s so Ominous
we live in a dystopian film
@@sh0wp0ny it's a shit one too
Isn’t that just real life? Also consider it done.
@@sh0wp0ny This is THAT timeline everybody talk about
I wish it were a film, not real life...
“People only believe what they need to believe” is so haunting because it’s so real
Kashalakasha i am your 1k like
A song I wrote about Twitter:
*three minutes of uninterrupted screaming*
sir, are you okay?
This next song is called
A world on fire
SpaceBanana
Nice Bo Burnham (Spelt it wrong) reference!
Yeah sounds about right
SpaceBanana AHHAAHAHAHAAHAHHAH *smashing on keyboard*
"We will not stand still and watch it burn"
grenfell's 3 year anniversary is today. A confirmed 72 deaths, when the real figure is more around 500
WE WILL NEVER FORGET THEM 💚
Still a bunch of buildings covered in that flammable crap, too. "Well There's Your Problem" did a good deconstruction of what happened & why, what the engineering faults were & how they came about. It was pretty excruciating to watch but 100% on the money, every policy failure, coming from every bit of bigotry the council had towards the tenants, and the penny-pinching for honestly no good reason, like "Maybe Kensington were saving to have their own airforce..." It's full of gallows humour like that because honestly otherwise they'd just scream.
This is the “I really needed a beautiful dodie song today” button
There isn't a day that I have never needed a beautiful dodie song lol
me. she’s amazing
CLARISSA IM SUCH A BIG FAN
mayahuel AH OHMYGOSH MAYA ME TOO
I need it as an implant in my belly or something :)
nailing the time signature for the chorus is SO IMPRESSIVE
I T WAS REALLY HARD THANK U i had to retrain my brain
@@doddleoddle u did amazing it sounds so clean ! what timing is it in can I ask ?
@@graceprice3292 Hey!! So the guitar is doing the same picking pattern as before (so still in 4/4) and the vocals over the top are in groups of 3! This sorta thing is called a hemiola in music theory- where you put groups that feel like they're in different time signatures over each other. So the "what do I do" section is repeated 3 times (27 beats but as 9 bars) whilst the picking pattern ends up being repeated 2 times in this case (32 beats- 8 bars)… the last 5 beats of picking are played with no vocals though... let me know if this makes any sense bc I'm not sure if it does haha and I can try to explain it better if not x
the chorus is so clean and nicely done and awesome
@@JustabitofEmz I don't really know music theory at all, so this was super helpful!
I really love the mirror perspective
It gives the illusion there's two people in a way since on real Dodie you can't see the ukulele but on mirror Dodie you can 0w0
all social media platforms be like
I waited for mirror dodie to sing backup the whole time xD
I enjoyed pretending that the two dodii were each singing the two different harmonising parts at one stage.
I honestly waited through the entire song because I thought dodie in the mirror was going to look at real dodie. How haunting would that have been right at the end?
don't know if this is unrelated but it sucks how twitter is one of the most reliable sources of information? people tweet stuff we don't see on the news, we get to speak even if we feel that our words reach no one, we have a chance to spread awareness. i don't know where i'm exactly going when i started writing this comment but yeah hope you're getting what i'm tryna say
definitely !!! It’s why it’s so frustrating bc it’s so good and also so bad lol
@@doddleoddle exactly!!!
It’s the most unreliable source of information I’ve ever seen lol
@@mrtheluckybucket Depends on who you follow. You get very instant, up-to-date information. If you can be critical about the source then it's great.
Here’s the thing: it’s simultaneously the most reliable and the most unreliable source of information, and there is very little way to know which it is
IM LITERALLY GETTING IN A HEATED ARGUMENT ON TWITTER WHEN YOU POSTED THIS LMOAHDHDBDBSB
This is s sign, take a deep breath 😂
Rachel Larson the girl I’m arguing with is very racist 😭
Hello anyone!
@@sixpense I'm sorry that's the worst! Just remember that hurtful words on either side aren't helpful no matter how good they feel to say 😂
Same here on Instagram. Guy literally wished my property to burn, lmao.
the way the light changes wow
I KNOWWW I can’t believe that happened
twitter can be a scary place , make sure you all take care of yourself
aw u too boo
it's dangerous to twitter alone, take this:
Ngl I’ve deleted twitter like 20 times. It messed with my head too much, but it’s important to stay updated on information.
sem
Updated on information? Isn't that what we should be able to trust the news for?
Twitter is full of specific cells of people, none of them honest, and a much smaller population of people who came to it before it became the breeding ground of nightmares it is today.
There are other ways to stay informed, but the truth is, we do not need most of the information on social media or the news...but they want you to believe you do. Yet, it always seems to be the bad stuff...the stuff that makes the most money due to clicks and impressions.
Sad times. The few people I personally know who have disconnected are far happier, and still keep up with the actually important details. Maybe I should go to not having any of them...
I deleted mine for good. It gives you the ilusion of information but its just shallow. You don't have the time to process anything. I moved to good books now.
Paul Beverage I think I may have worded it wrong, not more informed but engaged. How I would describe it as, seeing things on Twitter made me go further into the topic and actually research. By far, Twitter is one of the worst ways to get reliable information. But, it does help me get me to the good information, if that makes sense.
Currently I’ve deleted twitter and been mostly staying off social media (besides UA-cam) so I do agree with you that being disconnected makes people a lot more happier. Also, I’m not going on twitter for a very long time.
ok but same. i still have it on me because i think im too reliant on some creators now. might be good to uninstall it again, huh?
the camera quality on this is BEAUTIFUL
Right? I love the detail, especially the freckles
Also the color scheme
I want to know what dang camera it is
hehe I love your falsettos pfp
your pfp is beautiful
Lovely tones and lovely VID SHARP YEEE
lmao
i closed twitter for this
me toooo!
Me three...
How ironic
Girl you are preaching to the choir😭
Same
The swelling at the end feels like the movement that’s rising, like a rebellion that I damn well hope succeeds
not me crying over yet another beautifully crafted doddleoddle song
same
this seems like it would be in a montage in a coming-of-age black mirror episode
also yo dodie i love you; you inspire me to make my own stuff :)
Ngl reminds me of the hunger games
esp the tracks that the civil wars did for the soundtrack
YES
holy shit you're so right!!! XD
I thought I was the only one !!
Same
“i am begging tell me are we ok” hits so damn hard. dodie you lyrical genius owie 🥺
anyone wanna talk about how pretty her messy hair is
fun fact the doctor who diagnosed me with depression described my hair as "unkempt"
@@doddleoddle that's a mood though, tbh, except you're pretty and I look like a potato in noodle form
@@doddleoddle but u still look good tho
I love her hair it is so pretty :)
didn't even notice before I read this comment because I was too fixated on how pretty her skin is in this video
Every song dodie, you shock me with your humble yet complex rhythms, tonal patterns and musicality. It’s unreal and beautiful. I look forward to each new piece (especially when you compose a movie score). Have a great day.
Her freckles tho... I’m in love
this song should be called: "the bluebird's call"
Ere Kama ohhh that’s smart
I LOVE IT
Agreeeed
Rip to the bird
i have never clicked on a notification faster
me on twitter: sees a notification from dodie with a song about twitter
'ok then'
Anyone else notice around 2:28 the lighting changes? Idk if that's intentional or not but it's really neat until throughout the end of the song
yes, it seems intentional.
She said in a comment that it was just a happy coincidence
the light change makes me imagine it as the people panicking because they want to change things but keep getting blocked by immovable obstacles. I hope I make sense
"I will write, I will craft, watch me work through the pain
" this just got to me. sometimes i treat twitter like it's my personal diary and it's become one of my ways to cop. but besides, the way you put how many of us try to make a change by tweeting is so beautiful and accurate. and yeah, sometimes it may feel like we really are screaming at no one or shouting into the dark, but at least we're raising our voices and that's important. this song was beautiful dodie
"paint over your strokes
and the ink will just bleed"
I love this metaphor so much.
I remember you sang the first part of this song on Instagram a couple years back and I was OBSESSED, I wanted to so badly for you to finish it and now it's here I'm so happy!! It's just so beautifully hunting
*sees title*
me: oh it must be a silly song about twitter woo
me: *20 seconds in* oh-
Oh gosh this song is just so powerful. I especially love the line “not much to do but smile too hard, but I’m laughing with no one” I’ll be thinking of that one for a long while
Your plucking is always so soothing. I always have trouble with that when I play uke. Thanks for another great song dodie even tho i remember this in 2017 💞
your harmony has been so haunting lately - beautiful!
also: this is officially "dodie green", right? :P
WAIT DOES IT HAVE A TITLE?? THIS SONG IS AMAZING!!
hazel suggested dancing for no one which i quite like
doddleoddle 1). nahsbsvsjns YOU RESPONDED OH MY GODDD!! 2). that's an amazing name!
"Please open your mind
we sob from a screen".
Well I'm glad we live in such time where we genuinely have this openness and empathy for one another. But damn, how true it is to have so many people refuse to listen."
Last time I was this early i was allowed to leave the house
This song reminds me of what my dad told me when he was diagnosed with cancer, “if you can’t do anything about it why worry”
He’s fine now
once again, dodie sums up what we all feel in a gorgeous song :)
i've been waiting this song for years! i vividly remember listening a bit of it in a couple instagram stories when dodie still had short hair... the "what do I do
, what do we do, nothing we can do" part really glued in my head for quite a while and I bet it will be again
favorite part was the “what do I do” part, I always love when you have those minor harmonies with that really windy voice
okay this song is beautiful but also the first second I see dodies face in a video I get this feeling of "it's gonna be okay. though you may not be okay rn, u will be one day." THANK YOU
Dodie if you read this: I really don't want to put any pressure on u with this comment I think it's just a connection in my mind and there's nothing you could/should do about it.
me on twitter getting this video notif: 😳
this is the deepest thing anyone has said about twitter since literally the world and my heart wasn't expecting this level of emotion yet i can't stop listening because of course its dodie
the ✨v i b e s✨ are absolutely immaculate
If hunger games was still being filmed this would’ve been in it. Such an eerie atmosphere yet intriguing, I’m in love!
read the title and my first thought was "that's a risky move"
Thank you dodie. You turn a phrase from some words that none of us here can voice and spin it into a melody in such an elegant tone, with voiceless yet unbroken intention behind every note. I hope that one day I can have even half the courage that you do to string together some words so that I too can make a difference and weave my own story for those who cannot speak theirs.
this is art
Music*
Shares something with art tho, it's beautiful.
@@grim9028 music is a form of art...
Grim by definition music is art so idk what ur on about man
all of your work is ethereal. it literally makes me feel like i’m floating. the best feeling ever
This is giving me Radiohead vibes, so relevant to our time.
The colour co-ordination in this video makes my eyes very happy.
This feels like an anthem to apathy and surrender, and sometimes that's what feels safe. But I don't think it's the right move right now, or the right message. I appreciated the sound and the beautiful lyrics, but the last thing we need is complacency.
That said, you captured the feelings of the youth fairly well; we're all scared that our actions won't bring lasting change because the people in power just casually want us all to die lmao
I am so in awe at this song, didn't even know your songs could get any better than they all already are but wow! This is something. Thank you for expressing so much
dodie is one of those people who always can find the right words for the current situation and then make them sound THAT beautifully tragic. So. Much. Talent.
Chilling / charming - your song may be inspired by Twitter, dodie, but I think it is timeless. We have all felt helpless in the shadow of a future that may not come about. When I was young and scared, we were hiding under tables and sure of nuclear war. Freedom from fear is what we must strive for. If we can do anything, if we can change anything for the better, it must start with us, with the ones we love, the ones we can reach, the ones we can meet. Be Hope. This is a hauntingly beautiful song, and "what can I do?" can be the seed for great things. Thank you so much for writing this.
imagine this:
youre standing over a cliff as the sun sets, with the orange and yellow hues painted across the land. you see ashes, you see fire, you see war. there eas nothing but back to back tsunami to earthquakes, strange pest infestations, and youve just came out of quarantine.
you check your watch.
its 2020.
this, in my humble opinion, is without a doubt your best song yet! terrific song-writing skills! "people only believe what they to believe" is SUCH a great line. cheerful thoughts all the way from brazil :)
mmm yum im obsessed with this melody, this is one of those 'repeat to cram every last bit of feeling out of it' songs
YES
this has the same sort of eerie; beautiful undertones as burned out did and i am HERE FOR IT
It’s frustrates me that this probably won’t get released as Dodie has played it here. Such a well written song!
A lot of the times her UA-cam versions are just so beautiful. Id love her to make an album just with those versions.
I honestly don't know why Dodie is so underrated. This song is hauntingly beautiful!! She's nailed it yet again as a brilliant songwriter. I love you Dodie, for making great music while spreading an important message. Thank you.
i saw the notif and out loud said “yay :D”
Man, the arrangements are so little and yet the songs are always very rich. The guitar is soft behind, the lyrics are simple, the voice is just on point, where it should be, the softness at the right time, the harmonies. It's soft and beautiful, powerfull even.
g r e e n
the refrain (“what do I do”) is so well-crafted! the way your melody plays with the rhythm there is so genius! it’s like the melody is played in a 3/4 time signature, but it’s actually still playing in 4/4. Wow. :)
lyrics to this beautiful yet ominous song- Here I am just another shout into the dark
You would think, we'd be loud enough, to cause a spark
But half the world cover their ears and cry
So we're screaming at no one
Screaming at no one
Mmmmm
Raise your arms raise your voice no one wants what we'll get
We're all scared here, with the future that's set
We will not stand still and watch it burn
But we're dancing for no one
Dancing for no one
The higher we build
The harder to see
Paint over your strokes
And the ink will just bleed
Please open your mind
We beg from a screen
What do I do
What do we do
Nothing we can do
Tell me now, I am begging tell me are we okay?
I will write, I will craft, watch me work through the pain
Not much to do but smile too hard
But I'm laughing with no one
Laughing with no one
The higher we build
The harder to see
Paint over your strokes
And the ink will just bleed
Please open your mind
We sob from a screen
The higher we build
The harder to see
People only believe
What they need to believe
Please open your mind
We sob from a screen
What do I do
What do we do
Nothing we can do
(There must be something we can do)
saw this on your instagram story in 2017 and fell in love. so glad you've posted it.
I’ve never had Twitter for two reasons: nobody in my country uses it, and there is so much negativity in it.
ITS SO BAD!!! I only have it for news updates from other countries.
Honestly want to delete it. It’s a cesspool for trolls.
its been shit after 2014 dont worry
I just love how you occasionally intertwine your main vocal and backing vocal lines. Thank you so much for making my world a better place with your music - despite the dystopian touch. Keep 'em coming
Though I appreciate passion and anger at issues, I do want people to remember that change happens slowly. It is reasonable, justified, and encouraged, to get angry at stagnation in regards to progress. You are allowed to- and most definitely SHOULD be angry at the issues plaguing our world. That anger can be used to fuel ambition, hard work, and therefore change. However, this frustration could also grow to grim acceptance of this stagnation. It could grow to a loss of hope. A cynical and defeated view of the world. I do not believe we can lose hope. Not with the way things are right now. History has shown us that change occurs over long periods of time, with downfalls and uprises. Fluctuating paths of progress are normal.
As our world advances, large scale change is made comparatively quicker than before, but it still feels long to us. Though it is tragic to witness injustice, I beg you to take a step back, and to not lose hope. Use your emotion and justified anger to fight for change, and continuously work and do whatever you can to fix the way things are. That will help. And even though sometimes it may feel like all of that work is amounting to nothing, trust me, keep going and do not lose hope. I am a firm believer that hope is required in order for change to occur. Without the faith that things will get better, nobody will even try.
There is something we can do, and we will have to work through this and continue to work until things start happening. Don’t give up on this. We can’t afford to give up on this. Stay safe and stay strong y’all ❤️❤️
The emotion, the chords, the change of lighting in the background, this just got me feeling the same way as if i'm watching a play of some sort..
so good!
ooo an interesting camera angle for a beautiful song with paniced undertones. LOVE IT!
everyone on twitter is just trying to make a change and it's so painful when we shout so loud but it's all behind glass, behind a screen. and we go out to protests and sign petitions and try to break that barrier, but they still lock us in, make us out to be the bad ones. we will be the ones with sharp pains in our feet, once we shatter that glass and it lands on the floor. but it's worth it, because they will be forced to hear our pleas. they will have nothing to hide behind.
i love this analogy 💓
Long live the revolution
Omg does anyone else remember dodie posting part of this on her Instagram story years ago?? It's literally my favourite song that she's ever created for some reason I kept going back and relistening to it but lost hope that she'd post a full version I CANR BELIEVE SHE DID IT AND ITS SO MUCH BETTER THAN I HOPED AHH
the intro reminds me of burned out
Please release this song, on ALL platforms! It is so profound and so wonderfully written, both musically and lyrically. Thank you for sharing this with us - I feel truly blessed to hear it.
Win Xx
I guess we did finally cause a spark. It's time for change, real change this time. What do we do? Whatever we can
Couldn't have put it better myself.
I was having a really bad day, thank you for helping my anxiety calm
the angle where u can see u in the mirror as well >>
How do you make simple words feel as deep as the ocean itself? 😍😍 absolutely beautiful
dODIEEE
This song conveys such a raw and relatable feeling of crying, screaming, or laughing at your phone yet being totally alone and I cannot physically process it oh my
ok but who else thinks dodie deserves the world for what she does? she’s a fantastic singer and inspiration to all. she inspired me to make a youtube channel, what a legend.
The way your voice is incredibly soft and smooth but your picking is frantic and steady, it gives off a feeling of panic and unease whilst being so relaxing at the same time which I feel is the emotion of social media. It's so relaxing and calming but also so fast and repetitive. Another incredible song ❤
big reweet
I played through the last of us 2 recently and man.... the amount of times I wished they'd got you to help out with music for that you'd have been amazing on it. 😍❤️
this is why I deleted twitter after like a month of making an account
same
This is beautiful. And I can totally see it used in the slightly-angsty revelation scene in a TV show, transitioning into the epilogue scene for the episode.
Luv u 🥰🥰
k
no one cares edit: y did u change it from *first* to luv u🤦♀️
and
ok
This just feels so current, feels hard to be begging for change when no one is listening
Please hang on... There must be something we can do.
.... Danggggggg,PHENOM! BY The first few notes,...."you had me at 'ting-ting, ting ting'..."(sorry for the Jerry Maguire reference) haha.
You're awesome!!!!!!! 💕💕💕
Goddamn I love this song. If I could make music I'd extend it. The composition is subtle and powerful. Every tone flows in and out without a trace. That quiet inhale was good
I... actually don't really have words for this.. the melody, harmonies, lyrics, your way of singing... the despair combined with calmness.. Woah... 😮
I keep coming back to this song. Maybe because of the interesting time signature at the chorus. Maybe because of how terrifyingly relatable the lyrics are. Or maybe because of the soothing color palette that you use in your recent videos, including this one.
Whatever the real reasons are, I just want to say that your music is magical because it speaks to me, Dodie 💛
i’ve been struggling these past few weeks more than ever but i’m taking it one day at a time. this is my calm amongst the chaos today. thank you for the calm
the minors in there are so haunting. the harmonies of your voice that are trickled in really give it the vibe of the lyrics. as a song writer im so incredibly inspired by all that you do
