i feel like a new dodie era has started, her lyrics are getting more complicated and she’s singing more in her lower register! amazing as always of course!
Yeah, I've felt a tangible shift and so far the new dodie era has had me going going back to listen to early Puddle of Mudd a lot and I am very very here for it! I don't even know if the dates overlap in such a way that it could even be cited as an influence!? Really enjoying it!
I noticed a shift post Jacob Collier. Dodie's harmonies have shifted to a really cool richness, and I am here for it let me tell ya. I really love how she's grown in this area. All her songs are so unique!!
This song hits harder when you're sitting off to the side of the Christmas party, it having been made very clear you're an outsider in your own family.
Seeing this a year later and being home alone. Not invited to my grandmother's house every year. It's Christmas I'm home alone. Single father and my daughter is at her grandparents house.
I feel like this is that meme where there's all the people standing with their swords on the table with the table being "relating to this song" and all the people are labeled "ppl w/derealization, ppl w/ADHD, autistic ppl, ppl w/anxiety"
Dodie, you're practically a personal psychologist, but instead of asking questions you answer them in abstract ways and I love it. Thank you :) We appreciate you.
Well said. Joseph Campbell (The Hero With a Thousand Faces) said something similar about poets' communicating truths about reality that can't be simplified into easy statements. Ideas that can only be explained with art and then understood in that way. Sorry I'm not enough of an artist to share the concept more clearly. Dodie seems to be channeling concepts in this manner yes?
I don't quite know how dodie makes song writing seem so easy. Her lyrics and music just feel so effortlessly amazing. I love this though!! It feels so comfortable but also pushes me to the edge of my seat because I'm waiting for more, waiting for the next lyric to satiate this thirst the last one brought. I've never really found an artist who has been able to do this for me, I'm so happy I did
like all artist, i’m sure she struggles with her lyrics it’s like how everyone shows all their hardest work yet they don’t show all the crumpled documents in the trash can
@@artykeldeo I get that! I find it very difficult to actually share the things I create, which is why I'm in awe of dodie's willingness to share her demos and the unfinished 'not very good' things. It gives me hope as an aspiring artist that talented artists go through growing pains and have crappy creative days, but it also gives me hope that effortlessly beautiful tracks like this can exist from the same person.
@@ember5581 Just keep it up! Do your best and you'll know when you want to share your art (if you don't, give it a try anyway). Sending you my support and inspiration :)
ember hey honey, i believe in you!! im in a real bad art block and writing block currently but you go!!!!! we stan!!!!!!! i know you’re going to do great things
THIS! THIS IS IT EXACTLY!! I hold my tongue cuz I know once I start talking I ramble and can’t shut up, I always end up saying something that I wish I didn’t :/ so I just don’t talk at all
When I was younger, I constantly yearned to meet a group of people I'd effortlessly blend into. I was always jealous of people who recounted their times with a giant group of friends. I wished I could have something like that. But I always felt as though something was off about me, internally. Anyway, now I'm older. I understand that while I'll never have a large group of friends, I have a few friends I really can call family. I still feel as though there's something that isn't quite right about me, like I'm a little smudged or not completely all there. So I listen to this with a smile, sympathy and empathy for those going through this - and the wonder if I'll ever find out what this feeling I have is. How does Dodie manage to get into brain all the time?!
Weirdly enough I think I kinda like this with minimal production, it feels very intimate and hushed. I'm getting like A Moon Shaped Pool vibes from this.
It seems that way because it's a brilliant description of the anxiety that comes from having impaired social intuition and the fatigue/confusion that come with trying to mask it all day every day in a very humanising way.
Not offensive at all! As someone with anxiety, I feel like this all the time. It sucks, but I've found people I can be loud and crazy with, which is an amazing feeling in contrast :)
As somebody who has Aspergers I literally started crying listening to this. I struggle with social cues, I don't understand jokes, I misinterpret sarcasm as criticism and begin to apologise, I don't understand instructions and phrases unless you are straight to the point. I struggle with education because of the way my brain is wired, which always confuses people because of my advanced vocabulary and my understanding of complicated systems. My parents have always described me as bright and I feel I'm letting them down with the way my brain works.
@@isabelahart9377 sometimes it's just hard to exist outside of the social norms. Because I don't learn the same way other people do I'm left behind by the school system. It certainly is strange.
@@feralwizard very late reply, but I do sometimes feel like an alien because everyone else feels far away? Not quite here, not sure how to describe it but just I know I’m different and I learn differently as you said as well :)
I remember when i was younger listening to Dodie and being so happy. I would listen too her songs with my dad all the time. Although he was more of a rock kinda person he would listen to it with me cause he knew it made me happy. We didn't normally see eye to eye but when it came to her songs, he'd always be there next to me. I'd be in the garage singing to her songs and my dad would come out and dance with me, and for that short time I felt everything was calm and happy. At his funeral 4 years ago I chose one of her songs to play. No one else understood it but for a moment I wasn't scared. Two years ago I was told I have a variation of Dissociation disorders. Since i'm only 17 they said they can't give me a solid diagnosis, because they don't want to make a false claim. It took me a long time to understand I wasn't the only one who felt this way. I felt like I was a freak, like I wasn't going to be worth anything or do anything good with my life. But knowing that someone amazing like you was able to face it made me feel like I had a chance. Sorry about the rant I just want to say.. *Thank you Dodie for EVerything you do for us. Thank you for giving us hope. Thank you for being you, because even on your darkest days you're still a ray of sunshine. *
I think someone with autism is listed as having a learning disability. According to the school system. Years ago, I was actually looking at this stuff. Now imagine every kid or person around the world who is autistic. Or dyslexic.. Or even schizophrenic
i was really, really about to write that lol, the entire song has a beatles-y vibe to it... she absolutely has been listening to them during the lockdown period haha
i don't usually comment but i feel compelled to today- i've been watching your videos since i was 14 (i'm now 19) and i feel like i've grown up alongside you. watching a video of yours (whether old or new) always feels like coming home... like a cozy blanket and a big cup of tea. your music is so unique and i feel it so so deeply. i wish i had the words to explain it right lol but you constantly amaze me with your originality and the mix of your harmonies & poignant lyrics. it never fails to hits me right in the heart! in some ways i think of you as a friend. i struggle with social anxiety and dissociation and hearing you discuss topics such as these makes me feel less alone. thank you for everything. you have no idea how excited i am for your coming projects
god i have the same story. been listening since i was 13, now 16. been so in love with dodie and she showed me who i am. i have met so many friends though her music, at concerts and online. dodie helped me come into my own. strangely dodie helped me come out literally as well 😳
dpdr, adhd, social anxiety, feeling like an alien, why do i not function like all of you? will i ever? feeling like an alien faking being human right now, and always..
"Holding hands like it’s planned, how do they know what they mean" THIS this is exactly how I've been feeling ALL month trying to fit in and figure out how everyone around me seems to have some automatic connection with each other while I'm just over here being awkward haha
This kinda feels like my experience with autism and making friends the words fit so right oh I wish I could get the code 😅 always felt like an alien...glad others feel like an alien too ❤️ nice to not feel alone :) oh also may I add to anyone who supports autistic people don’t listen to autism speaks go red instead!! Fuck the blue puzzle piece!
I was going to say this too. I'm nerotypical (as far as i know), but this sounds so much like the ways ive heard people describe socializing with autism.
😭I was loving the song and feeling a lot of differnet ways, but once I went down the comments to post about having ADHD+anxiety and relating, and saw all of the comments from people like me... then the tears started to fall 😪It's so good to know you're not alone! I don't realize sometimes that I really struggle with social cues, obviously I realize it while it's happening but I tend to just blame myself and say I'm screwing up. This song helped me realize that it's my ADHD, my anxiety and my depression that cause this to happen, and I shouldn't beat myself or blame myself for struggling to relate to people and make new friends. It's not my fault, I'm not alone... and maybe it can get better. Love you all and thank you for sharing your stories! Dodie, same to you - thank you for sharing your experience through this song.
dodies aesthetic is so pretti- just herself with the color of her skin and lips and hair and eyes together. then her beautiful color of clothes. plus the instrument + background. then there’s her voice- which somehow fits her aesthetic and is just angelic in general aghhh
Feeling the lyrics of a song on a deep and personal level is the mood to anytime I listen to something dodie has written. How can a song, a verse, a chorus resonate with so many people in such a meaningful and intimate way. Weird to think that feeling misunderstood, weird, out of place and even lonely is what's actually bringing us together, united and accepted. Love you Dodie from France x
"Weird to think that feeling misunderstood, weird, out of place and even lonely is what's actually bringing us together, united and accepted." Beautifully put :)
I never quite understood the feeling I would have when listening to your music, but I think I do now. It’s that deep ache that tugs at my soul, the kind of ache that fits how my mind feels no matter the moment, where I can feel on top of the world or like crying deep into the night. but I feel as though that is the very way to describe Dodie herself, a person we’ve gotten to watch grow in so many ways.
Ironically, I believe that EVERYONE belongs; they just need to find their proper place in the world. Furthermore, the only one who knows their proper place in the world is YOU~
I love this song! I have struggled with being social since I was little. I don't have any diagnosis to explain why I act how I do, but it's taken me this long to understand I don't need one. I can be socially awkward because that's just who I am, and that's okay. This tone of this song gives off the same attitude of "Yep, I've got no clue how any of this works, but I'm dealing with it, even if I get down and insecure about it too." It's just a hopeful little song of solidarity, and it makes me feel very happy. Powerful song Dodie, very powerful.
I think she was going to drop something big just before the pandemic hit (probably a bunch of songs worth taking on tour). Not sure if she decided to wait until it calmed down or what, but I'm looking forward to whatever it is!
i really relate to this song. it's so beautifully worded and it says all the things i experience everyday. i'm autistic and i have to work really hard calculating in my head a good response to things. and i find it hard to talk to people i want to be friends with but i don't want them to think i don't like them if i'm quiet. really good song.
I've been feeling like I have imposter syndrome, but just with like-- life. Like I'm faking every interaction and everyone is gonna one day realize I don't actually mean what I say or care about anyone because I don't know how.
Me: God I seriously need a serotonin boost today *dodie uploads* Me: wait not that much happiness - *it's an original song* Me: OHHH MY GOD SOO MUCH SEROTONIN
You're so beautiful dodie. Your voice is equally as stunning. I love you and you've helped me through everything. Your lyrics always mean so much to me. The bittersweet in most of your songs is what I love in music. Thank you for being so amazing and sorry for the silly rant
this song describes something in me that i’ve never been able to put my finger on. it’s like the feeling that you have so many acquaintances, but nobody knows you well enough to actually be your close friend, and you only call them a friend to seem kind so it’s not awkward. it’s the feeling like you don’t completely fit in anywhere and it’s almost like you’re your own little genre of person but instead of feeling unique, you just feel confusing and lost.
Is it just me or have dodies songs been feeling a little more... wordy? Like lately it feels like she’s been playing with syllables, and this song especially is like bouncing from word to word, a little rushed and panicked but also trying to keep it cool. Absolutely stunning dodie! Definitely not a 6/10 💝
This song is so relatable. With my derealization lately and feeling so spaced out, it's hard to feel like I fit into any setting. My favorite line has always been "I chew over a word, but it's wrong, no I'm fine, what's the time? I think I'm done with this game." It flows so nicely and if you've ever accidentally said something about your secret problems around others and immediately regretted it or just felt off in a social setting in general, this line is relatable.
this song literally jives so hard I’m shaking I need to just like dance to this so bad and the chords MMMH YUM every little note is so purposeful and ethereal together oh my gosh ty for the cool song
I have been a huge fan of dodie since I found paint back in like 2015/2016. I was a kid and her music shaped me into the person I am now I wouldn't want another artist to have done that. I love her music and even though some of the songs have silly topics, it still hits that spot of nostalgia and loneliness in my head that brings me back to her music and content every time. Thank you.
Andie Pascua ok so first watch a Bunch of youtube videos, try the tongue exercises and see if they work for you, and then practice like at least three words with the rolling r Every Damn Day. And then if you’re me and you’ve paused on the learning italian part but wanna keep the rolling r if you ever get back to it, add a rolling r to literally every word that has an r in it i.e. “corrrrect” people’s names, etc.
So I came out to my friends with “she” and it’s still my favorite song you’ve helped me through a lot and it’s amazing how beautiful your voice is, I’m 12 years old but I’ve listen to all your songs 💝
Even without the music, the lyrics work so well. I think this is something people can relate too in one way or another, at some point in their life. It’s beautiful.
The fact that she didn't sit infront of the spots on the wall to cover them, makes me wonder what she covered instead lol The song is beautiful ily dodie
This might be wrong, but this sounds like a process of learning you're asexual. Not Dodie's, just someone's. Listen to it closely, maybe you'll hear it too :)
I think it can apply to anyone feeling out of place or like they're faking something to fit it. A very relatable feeling indeed. Me faking my straightness:
@@SeerOfTime577 Awesome!! Just know you're valid and you do fit in. Your sexuality doesn't change who you are and you're a wonderful human being. Thanks for dropping by with some positive vibes :)) Have a great day!!
dodie i really like this song. your bg vocals sound like a keys pad. im always amazed by you. actually your christmas vids blow my mind! you make me laugh. blessings to you.
I love how I needed a song like this with how shitty I'd been feeling the past week and here comes Dodie with a song about feeling like you don't belong. She's obviously a witch with mind reading powers
These chords.. just this whole sound is so good I love it. Feels like you have control over everything going on and all the different things are working in harmony to create that mood. Like the background parts shift with everything else too instead of staying static. I love this. I love all of these new songs and the idk how to describe it. The chord progressions keep being so interesting and emotive and so gorgeous to listen to. I love it.
So easy to listen to, great timing, beautiful harmonies. Such a story in the words. Hit's somewhere you may not have known existed. Well done all around.
The way your music has evolved over the past two years or so has been so incredible! Every new song you put out becomes a favorite. The chord progressions are so complex and unique and even the way you write lyrics now has matured and I’m so excited for what comes next!
it's so wierd . i didn't get it till now but when people say "your music saved me" i was thinking that they are overreacting. but apperantly that was a thing and it is wierd. like your music is so positive it makes me happy and life gets shinier and i'm so thankful that i found your music oof so many emotions :") im gonna go by luv u ❤
Ur all so immediately nice thank u 🖤✨ :”)

AHAHAHA YES 😂

yeah... agreed

My thoughts exactly! so so beautiful
Almost immediately got Eleanor Rigby vibes in the best possible way.
Been scrolling the comments for someone to say this 😂
Thank you! I got Eleanor Rigby vibes in the very first verse and glad I'm not the only one!
OH you're right!! Interesting
i live for the faded vibe every song sounds like a memory and i just want to live in it
Claire Omg this comment perfectly describes how her music makes me feel 😍😍🥰

Your music makes me feel seen ❤️
I think someone with autism is listed as having a learning disability. According to the school system.
Years ago, I was actually looking at this stuff. Now imagine every kid or person around the world who is autistic. Or dyslexic..
Or even schizophrenic
The beggining seems like Eleanor Rigby - The Beatles.
It's 100% inspired by because line for line it's exactly the same beat
my immediate thought as well!
Heard Dodie's song. Enjoyed it. Went to pee. Started singing "Eleanor Rigby". Came back here. Read your comment. 😜
i was really, really about to write that lol, the entire song has a beatles-y vibe to it... she absolutely has been listening to them during the lockdown period haha
I was just thinking I heard this rhythm somewhere before xD.
As a person on the spectrum, this song is pretty relatable
I was thinking the same thing! Its such a beautiful song
Same
yes same! this is the new autistic anthem

😭I was loving the song and feeling a lot of differnet ways, but once I went down the comments to post about having ADHD+anxiety and relating, and saw all of the comments from people like me... then the tears started to fall 😪It's so good to know you're not alone! I don't realize sometimes that I really struggle with social cues, obviously I realize it while it's happening but I tend to just blame myself and say I'm screwing up. This song helped me realize that it's my ADHD, my anxiety and my depression that cause this to happen, and I shouldn't beat myself or blame myself for struggling to relate to people and make new friends. It's not my fault, I'm not alone... and maybe it can get better. Love you all and thank you for sharing your stories! Dodie, same to you - thank you for sharing your experience through this song.
it isn't your fault! you're amazing.
dodies aesthetic is so pretti- just herself with the color of her skin and lips and hair and eyes together. then her beautiful color of clothes. plus the instrument + background. then there’s her voice- which somehow fits her aesthetic and is just angelic in general aghhh
Liking before watching, I’ll be well surprised if this isn’t good.
Edit: it was unsurprisingly, brilliant. We don’t deserve you Dodie.
I've not even listened to the whole thing and this is already one of my favourite Dodie songs
Feeling the lyrics of a song on a deep and personal level is the mood to anytime I listen to something dodie has written.
How can a song, a verse, a chorus resonate with so many people in such a meaningful and intimate way.
Weird to think that feeling misunderstood, weird, out of place and even lonely is what's actually bringing us together, united and accepted.
Love you Dodie from France x
"Weird to think that feeling misunderstood, weird, out of place and even lonely is what's actually bringing us together, united and accepted."
Beautifully put :)
@@mayahand2294 Aw thank you. Have a blessed day
I never quite understood the feeling I would have when listening to your music, but I think I do now. It’s that deep ache that tugs at my soul, the kind of ache that fits how my mind feels no matter the moment, where I can feel on top of the world or like crying deep into the night. but I feel as though that is the very way to describe Dodie herself, a person we’ve gotten to watch grow in so many ways.
Ironically, I believe that EVERYONE belongs; they just need to find their proper place in the world. Furthermore, the only one who knows their proper place in the world is YOU~
I’m a simple man. I see a new dodie song, i click
this sounds like eleanor rigby to me a bit at the beginning??
ooh i know what you mean! there's definitely something similar there
It's the fast, low, rhythmic british singing with guitar lol
I was thinking the exAct same thing!!!
Yeees i thought the same
YES
my awkward adhd ass felt this, luckily I've found at least one good friend who is as awkward as I am and we get along amazingly
I love this song!
I have struggled with being social since I was little. I don't have any diagnosis to explain why I act how I do, but it's taken me this long to understand I don't need one. I can be socially awkward because that's just who I am, and that's okay.
This tone of this song gives off the same attitude of "Yep, I've got no clue how any of this works, but I'm dealing with it, even if I get down and insecure about it too."
It's just a hopeful little song of solidarity, and it makes me feel very happy. Powerful song Dodie, very powerful.
THE VIBES ARE IMMACULATE DODIE YES
When you're having a bad day then dodie uploads
me: happily enjoying her new song
me in the end of this video: SOON?!? but WHEN? WAIT?!? how longgg
I think she was going to drop something big just before the pandemic hit (probably a bunch of songs worth taking on tour). Not sure if she decided to wait until it calmed down or what, but I'm looking forward to whatever it is!
I think she will drop her first full album. Fingers crossed!
I want to believe it's a full length album ^_^
Sometimes I get so caught up in how good Dodie's voice is, I forget that she wrote, arranged, and plays live uke on all of these.
i really relate to this song. it's so beautifully worded and it says all the things i experience everyday. i'm autistic and i have to work really hard calculating in my head a good response to things. and i find it hard to talk to people i want to be friends with but i don't want them to think i don't like them if i'm quiet. really good song.
her voice is so soothing i could listen to it all day :0
I've been feeling like I have imposter syndrome, but just with like-- life. Like I'm faking every interaction and everyone is gonna one day realize I don't actually mean what I say or care about anyone because I don't know how.
Dodie is truly the most underrated artist ever and deserves so much!!!
4:10 AHHHHH! Now we know what "things" were coming soon! Ahh! I'm so excited for Build A Problem!!!
Me: God I seriously need a serotonin boost today
*dodie uploads*
Me: wait not that much happiness -
*it's an original song*
Me: OHHH MY GOD SOO MUCH SEROTONIN
TRUEEEE she’s better than meds!! (All jokes pls take your meds if u have dem)
Am I blasting this in the middle on my zoom class? Yes. But of course I am muted. LOVE YOU DODIE❤❤❤❤
The HUMMING HARMONIES feel like being hugged by the music EVERY TIME
You're so beautiful dodie. Your voice is equally as stunning. I love you and you've helped me through everything. Your lyrics always mean so much to me. The bittersweet in most of your songs is what I love in music. Thank you for being so amazing and sorry for the silly rant
your username has me crying 😂😂😂
@@hanniji_ysa Ah, thank you ^^
Oh... ok "In goes the drink and the fire and out comes the doubt and the stutter and shame" is painfully wonderful.
this song describes something in me that i’ve never been able to put my finger on. it’s like the feeling that you have so many acquaintances, but nobody knows you well enough to actually be your close friend, and you only call them a friend to seem kind so it’s not awkward. it’s the feeling like you don’t completely fit in anywhere and it’s almost like you’re your own little genre of person but instead of feeling unique, you just feel confusing and lost.
I'm autistic and have ADHD and can I say how much this resonates with me 😅😅
I love seeing all the neurodiverse people in the comments! Personally, I'm just awkward, but you have my energy!
I was litteraly just listening to loads of dodie songs in a row now i have one to add :)
Is it just me or have dodies songs been feeling a little more... wordy? Like lately it feels like she’s been playing with syllables, and this song especially is like bouncing from word to word, a little rushed and panicked but also trying to keep it cool. Absolutely stunning dodie! Definitely not a 6/10 💝
This song is so relatable. With my derealization lately and feeling so spaced out, it's hard to feel like I fit into any setting. My favorite line has always been "I chew over a word, but it's wrong, no I'm fine, what's the time? I think I'm done with this game." It flows so nicely and if you've ever accidentally said something about your secret problems around others and immediately regretted it or just felt off in a social setting in general, this line is relatable.
Who's out here rewatching all the ALOSIA songs cuz my impatient self can't wait that long😂😩
Just when I had nothing else to watch on UA-cam, a Dodie notification comes to the rescue 👌
4 minutes and 26 seconds later and you are back where you started
Why Is every Song of hers-EXACTLY what im feeling in the Moment easkdiebdi
so true
No one:
My head: hey dodie whatcha doin in here, readin my thoughts?
this song literally jives so hard I’m shaking I need to just like dance to this so bad and the chords MMMH YUM every little note is so purposeful and ethereal together oh my gosh ty for the cool song
I have been a huge fan of dodie since I found paint back in like 2015/2016. I was a kid and her music shaped me into the person I am now I wouldn't want another artist to have done that. I love her music and even though some of the songs have silly topics, it still hits that spot of nostalgia and loneliness in my head that brings me back to her music and content every time. Thank you.
dodie has written a song that perfectly encapsulates my autistic experience! I feel so seen :)
and the dilemma over whether to paint the living room coffee, oatmeal or biscuit
3:38 “rrrRaah Rrah” is me practicing a rolling r for italian and FINALLY GETTING IT
teach me pls i wanna imitate a motorcycle
Andie Pascua ok so first watch a Bunch of youtube videos, try the tongue exercises and see if they work for you, and then practice like at least three words with the rolling r Every Damn Day. And then if you’re me and you’ve paused on the learning italian part but wanna keep the rolling r if you ever get back to it, add a rolling r to literally every word that has an r in it i.e. “corrrrect” people’s names, etc.
Ooh, that verse is kinda giving me Eleanor Rigby vibes!
YAAAA
So I came out to my friends with “she” and it’s still my favorite song you’ve helped me through a lot and it’s amazing how beautiful your voice is, I’m 12 years old but I’ve listen to all your songs 💝
Dodie Clark literally breathes magic into our world making it better with each song!
The opening lines with the descending melody sound exactly like Eleanor Rigby. So good!
That’s just what I was going to say, I knew it was a beetles song but I couldn’t work out which one. Thank you for reminding me!😂
here while it still says “no views.” this is a masterpiece :’)
Even without the music, the lyrics work so well. I think this is something people can relate too in one way or another, at some point in their life. It’s beautiful.
Dodie: im as cold as I seem
Captions: im as cold as a sheep
It kinda sounds like the beatles or Simon and garfunkel. Those harmonies and the guitar 👌👌
I was thinking this too!💛
The fact that she didn't sit infront of the spots on the wall to cover them, makes me wonder what she covered instead lol
The song is beautiful ily dodie
she’s probably testing paint colors
This might be wrong, but this sounds like a process of learning you're asexual. Not Dodie's, just someone's. Listen to it closely, maybe you'll hear it too :)
I think it can apply to anyone feeling out of place or like they're faking something to fit it. A very relatable feeling indeed.
Me faking my straightness:
@@whateverworksmate.721 True!! Asexuality was all I could think of at the time though, oof
@@spacecyaaatttsss3832 all good, that's a valid take!
I'm Ace!!! And I never looked at it that way. That's so cool to me~
@@SeerOfTime577 Awesome!! Just know you're valid and you do fit in. Your sexuality doesn't change who you are and you're a wonderful human being. Thanks for dropping by with some positive vibes :)) Have a great day!!
Exactly what I need after my first day of college :)
happy first day!! you're doing great!! :)
3:38 “rrrRaah Rrah, I aM HERCULES MULLIGAN"

dodie i really like this song. your bg vocals sound like a keys pad. im always amazed by you. actually your christmas vids blow my mind! you make me laugh. blessings to you.
I literally cannot express in words how much I like this.
Dodie is one of the most soft innocent little beans ever what😭
Did you hear her last song? It doesn't seem so innocent to me. 😂
@@TypeForty haha
@@TypeForty also In the Middle
all of my choir: aa-AAAA-aaaa
dodie: *sings all of the perfect harmonies alone*
me and the choir: 👁👄👁
love your harmonies to the moon and back, Dodie!
Getting some lovely little Eleanor Rigby vibes at times here. This is lovely, dodie.
I love how I needed a song like this with how shitty I'd been feeling the past week and here comes Dodie with a song about feeling like you don't belong.
She's obviously a witch with mind reading powers
These chords.. just this whole sound is so good I love it. Feels like you have control over everything going on and all the different things are working in harmony to create that mood. Like the background parts shift with everything else too instead of staying static. I love this. I love all of these new songs and the idk how to describe it. The chord progressions keep being so interesting and emotive and so gorgeous to listen to. I love it.
Omg I’m already in love this song.
Seeing a new Alosia upload to me is like how Dodie feels when she sees a cat
is this still alosia? alosis?
Man I really wish this was on spotify
So easy to listen to, great timing, beautiful harmonies. Such a story in the words. Hit's somewhere you may not have known existed. Well done all around.
The way your music has evolved over the past two years or so has been so incredible! Every new song you put out becomes a favorite. The chord progressions are so complex and unique and even the way you write lyrics now has matured and I’m so excited for what comes next!
Woooww
I was literally listening to you and looking for songs i hadn’t listened to and you upload this ❤️💖💖❤️💖❤️💖💖💖❤️💖
You literally inspired to me to make songs and post covers. Im in love 💓
OMG HI KATE I LOVE UR CHANNEL!!
it's so wierd . i didn't get it till now but when people say "your music saved me" i was thinking that they are overreacting. but apperantly that was a thing and it is wierd. like your music is so positive it makes me happy and life gets shinier and i'm so thankful that i found your music oof so many emotions :") im gonna go by luv u ❤
