It creates this nice constant in the song, even though the background vocals change just that one note into different chords. There's always a little thing in the song you can fall back on.
the first chorus just sounds pretty. then a certain lyric hits you. then the next chorus, though you're hearing the same words, hits you like a ton of bricks. and you're crying
doddleoddle i love you so much dodie, this song is exactly what i feel @ the moment. My mental health has Been a mess for the last couple of month but i know one day i will say I'm ok and Really mean it. Love you dodie. You Are so beautiful inside and outside
I feel like this song hits way more hard when you take a step back from it, and really see how she looks in this video, the way she's singing and she conveys these lyrics and you realize....this video, this song, these words, she didn't just write them for us, she wrote them for herself as well.
Shauna Nichloe Dodie said in one of her new videos that this song was written for one of her friends, so that makes it so much more personal to her, and like you said it was for herself too; hence the verse about her getting through it too
I've had a shit day and I just broke down when she sang "there will be a day when you can say you're okay and mean it" because damn, that sounds amazing right now.
Graceless I am feeling the exact same way right now. I feel like I'm slowly just losing my ability to care about what is happening around me. This scares me BC I thought I only had anxiety and I dont know where all of my depressing thoughts are coming from. Then I don't like being venerable in front of my family so dont know how to talk about it. I just relate to this song on such a personal level. Oh. Im sorry for writing a really long paragraph.
There's a song called Nickel Dream by Nanci Griffith with the lyrics: Now she wishes she looked like they tell her she looks all the time What she'd give just to feel like she tells them she's feelin' just fine. That resonates with my in a very similar way. Hope you are doing better now ❤
@@Brugpieper12 word choice, word choice (as you said "hang in there") and hanging is a method of suicide [a few seconds later i forgot to remind you guys to stay safe, and alive out there. the world is a great place, don't give it up like that]
M Sings I tested it for its color hue, and this yellow is a more “Sunshine Yellow 34”, while dodie’s yellow is more of a “Sunflower Yellow 42”, or dodie yellow ^^
I literally was looking all over at all over for this at Barnes & Noble, and there was this table that said ‘new releases in paperback’ and I thought jokingly, ‘what if I found it?’ And. It. Was. There. I made a mini scream and my mom was mad.
"There are a hundred people who will listen to you cry." Agreed Dodie. Everyone, I'm one of those hundred people you can cry to if you need. Let it all out, and I'll listen
honestly listening to this song on repeat so that i can stay alive tonight edit: you guys are amazing. thank you so much for your kind words and encouragements.
Jillian Loves same I have to see my dad in a week who has been abusing me physically and mentally for the last 5 years and we lost the case against him. I have to see him again.
Stay strong and im proud of you for making this far, ive been there and i know this is so cliche but it WILL get better life gets better just make sure you're there to see it
this made me burst into tears because i've felt so severely depersonalised and i just wanted to be able to celebrate christmas but i just felt so not real and when i listened to this i could smell my mum making banana bread and i had memories of why i loved christmas so much and this just made me so much calmer and thank you so much dodie you are such an inspiration
LOL, transpose an octave or two. I sing the song in a deep baritone and it works fine for me. Although, I did have a hard time figuring out the chord structure from watching the video ;)
This song was uploaded 5 days before my planned suicide. When i first listened to it i was blown away and fell in love instantly. I'm probably still alive today cause of these lyrics and her so soft comforting voice. In this song you can feel the sincerity in her voice and i truly believed for once that things could get better. I love you Dodie, thank you so much. thank you.
BEAUTIFUL PLEASE NEVER PLAN THAT AGAIN YOU ARE SO MEANIGNFUL AND IMPORTANT TO THIS WORLD YOU HAVE NO IDEA YOU IMPACT MILLIONS OF PEOPLES LIVES PLEASE NEVER THINK OF DOING THAT AGAIN YOUR EXISTENCE IS VITAL FOR MANY PEOPLE,
OMG in Party Tattoos Dodie said she was writing her book "Secrets For The Mad" for the past six months, and this video was uploaded 6 months ago, when she began work on it! This is like a Easter egg announcement video!
Trust me, being diagnosed didn't make me feel less guilty and insecure about my emotional state. Your emotions are just as valid. You don't need a doctor to tell you that you feel like shit. Stay strong!
i love this because it gets stuck in my head which for one is good because it's a fuckin ace song, and two, like,,,, these are the BEST lyrics to be playing in your head repeatedly??? because it's a constant subconscious reminder that "in a little bit of time it won't hurt so bad" which is TRUE and that "there will be a day where you can say you're okay and mean it" which is TRUUUUE and my brain is usually buzzing with thoughts that are quite the literal opposite and it is SO HARD to get those thoughts to stop or replace them on your own with positive ones (like these lyrics), but because this is a song and a fricking GOOD 1 it just gets stuck in your head so easily that the negative thoughts are replaced without having to try and i just,,, its so lovely, it's like honestly therapy in your head THANK YOU DODIE BL ESS YO U
I'm so happy that I and many others have a Dodie to listen to when she tells us things like this. Now if only Dodie had always had a Dodie of her own to tell HER. Instead she had to learn the hard way. Poor bean D :
I just had an entire therapy session about this song. When it came out, it held so much sadness for me. I would listen to it and cry because dodie was right, I didn't believe it. I couldn't see how the things she was saying would ever be possible for me. Listening to it again now, I'm sitting here crying because I'm listening from the other side. It makes sense. I've made it through. Thank you dodie. It truly means the world.
When I heard the lyric "There will be a day where you can say you're ok and mean it," it reminded me of my best friend. She has been struggling with mental health. She has gone through, and overcome self harm. I still think she is going through things, like anxiety and depression. I don't know what to do. I care about her so much. When I heard that lyric I instantly thought of her. She always says she's fine when she's obviously not. Her birthday is coming up. I heard the lyric and stopped everything. I wrote out the lyric on a piece of paper, in different fonts, and in different layouts. When making it, I started crying. I care about my best friend so much. I'm giving it to her on her birthday. I cried twice while making it. That lyric means so much to me.
pretentious ukulele it's sad cause I am this friend and I had no clue how this affected them. I went and apologized to all my friends. I didn't even realize which makes me feel worse. I'm still sobbing (btw is you profile pic of Micheal from BMC?)
My friend is the very same. She's been in and out of mental health facilities in hospitals and has so many different medications and side effect problems and it's been so hard. And my anxiety has been increasingly getting worse and worse and I'm going to the doctors in two days of writing this to hopefully get medicated. That lyric hits me so hard for both me and my friend's sake. So much love to your friend. She's a fighter. 💛
this reminds me of my best friend as well, except she never overcame anything.. i worry about her a lot but everytime i tell her that i care she just says "okay" and stops talking. one time i got her to open up and she told me she had planned her suicide. i was trying not to breakdown crying. all i could say is "please remember to talk to me."
I LOVE the line where she says "There's nothing to do right now but try, there are 100 people who would listen to you cry, and I get that they don't get it, but they love you so much that you won't regret it". It reminds me of what my friends tell me, "You can make 100 mistakes, we will listen to you cry, but we love you so much that you'll never regret it". AS you can see, VERY close to that line (:
I always find myself coming back to this song whenever I feel hopeless. Me and My Family are currently going through the third time of my mum having cancer. It is terminal and it has given me overwhelming depression. But these lyrics just describe exactly how I feel and I feel like it was tailored for me. Its just so emotional to hear someone describe how you feel whilst being reassured that one day it'll all make sense again...
Sam Daly hi, I'm here for the same reason, my cousin who has been living with me since we were born has cancer, it all came suddenly and I'm still in shock, she's like my sister and I can't do anything to make her feel better, she's just 12. why does cancer has to be a thing?????????? i hope everything's fine over there, I'm here for you, I send you lots of love and a virtual hug ❤✨
kat I'm so sorry to hear that! Just know that you're in my thoughts over here and I'm sending you all my love and wishes. And tell me about it! It's such an ugly thing but it means a lot that people are as supportive as they are 💛
everytime i feel sad, anxious or anything like that i come back to this song. it calms me down and allows me to think through what's happening in my mind. nothing has been easy for me in the last few years, and the lyric i can find myself in is 'there's nothing to do right now but try'. all i have been doing is just trying, and to this day i still am, but the best thing is that i haven't quit. i kept trying, even through the hardest of times.
lalizziela thank you so much! i’ve actually talked to my mum recently and hopefully seeing a doctor soon, so i hope that’ll make things better and clearer
www.youtube-mp3.org I use this site on my computer when the songs aren't on iTunes :) That will download it on to your iTunes then you can sync it to your phone (tfw all your favorite singers are you tubers who don't have all their music on iTunes)
fun fact: i bought a keyboard just to learn this song. that's a true statement, that's how much this song means to me. keep it up for us low esteem's in your piles of fans
Amazing! :D I love the line "and I get that I don't get it" because sometimes we don't understand what the other person is going through, and admitting it is important. Otherwise we're gonna keep insisting we do and pushing our not-well-thought-out advice and solutions on to them because we think we know exactly what's going on. Sometimes we do get it, but it's important to admit when we don't.
doddleoddle hello, please know that I was having a rough day with a few rough moments and I heard this song now that I am home and you genuinely made me feel a bit better. My family and i love your videos and songs, Freckles and constellations and My face are my favorites. I saw your awkward song with Jon I believe and I was where I became hooked. Thank you for being you and thank you for making us all smile and feel better. hugs!
Fuck me up. It is too early for this. It hit me like a freight train. I'm 22 and for years I've been going back and forth from doctors trying to get help for my depression and anxiety. It felt like so much effort and wasted time for something that never helped or worked. A few months ago I was diagnosed with bipolar type 1 disorder and everything seemed to click into place. Why none of the medications I had tried seemed to help. Why my symptoms felt like they only sometimes matched. Why some days I felt so fucking invincible and the next I was floating in the endless abyss of emptiness. For the first time in my life I feel like I'm getting help that may be working. I've got a psychiatrist who isn't blaming everything on me being gay, or fat or on my parents divorce. Who actually listens and knows how to help me with something I can't control. Someone who is making it easier to deal with day to day. I'm hoping I'll one day (soon) be able to say I'm okay and mean it 😍😍
Reading through these comments and crying a little bit... reminds me that we're all in this together and even though we might feel alone, none of us are. Thank you for that, Dodie.
Initially I didn't appreciate the true beauty of this song, but now I can't stop listening to it. Every part if this song is precious, not just one or two lines like I normally pick out from songs
Same here! The first time I just skipped this song. I just listened to it again since 2 weeks and I really love this song now. Thanks to Crankgames, otherwise I wouldn't have thought about it again.
My mental health I can feel is going very quickly into a downward spiral at the minute. My sleepless nights, paranoia and panic attacks are on the rise again. Listening to this made me curl up in a ball and cry, thank you Dodie so much. I really needed this right about now
In the few weeks since I first heard it, this song has become very important to me. In a few days I am being hospitalised for mental health problems, and I'm absolutely petrified. This song helps me to feel like there is hope, like someday it will make sense again and everything else this song says. This song is beautiful and the lyrics are so powerful. It's such a lovely song and I just want to say thank you for writing/singing it. It means a lot to me.
Eva Smart I'm doing alright. I'm still in hospital, but I'm making a lot of progress with my recovery. I'm a lot better than I was. Thank you for caring x
Ath Athanasius you guys are so nice! Thank you. I'm doing a lot better now. I have 3 weeks of treatment left before I'll be discharged. To put some things in a little context, before I went into hospital I was almost completely housebound because of my mental health struggles, and today I have just finished 3 days of camping at a music festival. That would have been unimaginable when I wrote that first comment. This song had continued to help me. Something about it is just so earnest and encouraging. I don't know how many times I've listened to it now. Thank you all so much for caring. It's so encouraging. I'm still looking into what will happen when I get discharged, but I have so many more options than I did before. Obviously most of that is the treatment, but sometimes you need a lovely song like this or people caring enough to ask how you are to get you through the terrible moments and into recovery. Thank you :)
This only makes me want to scream to the world even more that after some hardcore therapy because of childhood trauma. I am officially NON CLINICAL :D I no longer have any labels of anything. After 15 damn years I can say I am okay and mean it. I love you Dodie..thank you for being so badass and honest about mental illness.
i feel depressed today well this time of day ive supported so many people on mental health tried to make them better but this is a low anddddddd i dont know if i can get through this time thing im thinking thoughts and im in plain sight but noone in this house knows what im feeling and it seems like they dont care at all but i dont blame them but this song is nice i like this song dodie thank you because honestly i think i'd be dead by now without you your book is one of the very few (if there's others right now) very few things i look forward to reading your book is the only motivation i have right now and possibly ever aaaa edit sorry
There are people who are there for you. Things are really bad rn but I just have to keep hoping everything will get better. And there some terrible lows in life and there are problems that won't ever go away, but there so tremendous highs in store for you.
TwoTwelveAM I just commented about that too then I saw everyone else's comments about the timing. It's like you feel this way and you don't even realize it, but the only thing that will really resolve the way you feel is a Dodie song
Dodie Clark has always had her own way with music. She's been through some very difficult times, which, even as a devoted fan, I'm sure I know next to nothing about, and has overcome said challenges, going on to make a beautiful song about it whilst motivating others, in just a single note. Dodie Clark is a badass.
Dodie, I feel like I am not worth anything and about an hour ago I was ready to give up. I then remembered about this video and it really got me through it. I doubt I'll ever be truly happy but when I needed it you were there and I am so grateful for that
You are a beautiful human. The planet is lucky to have you . Keep going, I promise you'll find a reason soon enough. Remember that you're loved, and that people care.💜
dodie... your song-writing has just come on leaps and bounds over the last year or so and I'm in awe. this is such a stunning song. it kinda reminds me of Feist, if you know her - the way you developed something so beautiful, meaningful, capturing, out of something so simple. the rhythms and harmonies are just yES. also your voice in this? holy balls. you nailed those high notes and ornamentations like wow wow wowwoww wow wow wow omg.
Izzy Inkpen with every new song, it becomes harder and harder to believe that her songwriting skills can ever possibly improve anymore - yet they continue to step it up a notch, every single time, without fail 😂😱😱😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️😭
After a re-listen I realised I forgot to say I love the clarinet! I loooove it when you use your clarinet in songs it brings such a gorgeous tone in that's p unique for pop songs :)
This is going to sound really silly but Dodie you fixed all of my mental health problems over night. For 5 years ive been self harming and been suicidal and ive tried everything but NOTHING would fix me. I went to your concert and heard this song and something just clicked inside me and i got the motivation to pull myself together and honestly ive never been happier. I never even thought it would be an overnight fix but im so grateful and it means so much that im happy again. I love you Dodie Edit: okay like yeahh im not better tbh so sorry to disappoint you all
Life has its ups and downs! But the important part is it has its ups. It's never hopeless, and it *will* make sense again, even though it will also not make sense again
dodie, i have no words. all I can say is that I really, really needed this song. you did not disappoint. thank you for making amazing music for all of us to sob along to, and teaching us valuable lessons through song. i love YOU and your music. please never stop creating.
Thank you Dodie, thank you so much, please never stop doing what you do, I hope one day I'll be able to say I'm ok and mean it, but for now you're the thing that helps me get closer to not being...well, mad!
With every dodie song I hear it gets stuck in my head for at least a week and I don't even get sick of it. When Intertwined was released, each song got into my head in turn (first sick of losing soulmates then intertwined, when, hole in my tooth, life lesson, etc.) This week it's been this.
See, this is why music is so amazing. Look at all these comments! Look at how many people feel so much better from one song! Look at all the aching hearts that have been warmed! What a beautiful kind of power that music possesses!!!! How lovely is this!!!! Friends, there is always hope and love surrounding you. Sometimes it's hard to see, but it'll always peek through right when you think you've lost it forever- it might even appear on your UA-cam subscription feed. Thank you so much for the beautiful song Dodie, we love you!!!!!
O S you and me need to get out more. I hankered after a reply from Liam Fray of the Courteeners (feel free Dodie to do a cover of one of their songs, maybe Tip Toes from their latest album) on Twitter. I eventually got a silent reply (or evidence that he had read my tweets) - he blocked me!! Still, in ur case, I'm glad that Dodie responded to you albeit with a mathematical expression: less than three wotever that means in UTube speak. :-)
Dodie. I am holding on to this song like you wouldn't believe. I feel this song like it's the feelings tumbling around in my head. You have such a unique gift. Your writing/music/storytelling strikes a cord in me like I don't feel with anyone else's music. You make my soul move. Thank you.
Camilla Hansen That's not true, you're just pretty in a different way. You're you, and Dodie's Dodie. You're supposed to be different, and that's not a bad thing for either of you:)
almost the same problem, yet people tell me i'm good at song writing but i cant sing for crap... i also hate playing the uke and singing in front of people with their eyes and ears paying attention to all my mistakes. lol
I've listened to this several times every day since it was posted and cried. I'm about to be 18 and I'm getting a tattoo on my birthday. I think I'm going to get "you're at the bottom, this is it. just get through, you will be fixed." on my ribcage. This song means a lot to me❤
Jared Kioshi Ayyye we have the same name. And I know it will, but I think it'll be totally worth it. That line applies to my life so much that I'd be completely willing to go through the pain for it.
Dodie performed this tonight at her concert in SLC. Just before she began singing, a girl in the crowd shouted that this song saved her life. The song is always wonderful, but it was such a special thing to hear in that context. I was in tears by the end. Love you Dodie. Thank you so much for all you do to make us feel understood.
all these comments. all these people. going through shit i could never imagine. and you know what helped them? dodie. her songs speak to people in an unimaginable way. they speak to me. thank you, so much.
Hey Dodie, I just wanted to say thank you for existing. I hit bottom with my depressive symptoms recently and a close friend sent me a link to this song. It was the start of looking for help, turning around and trying, and it helped me to feel SO much less alone in all of this. Thank you so much for pouring your heart into your music. This song really helps no matter how bad the days get, and I know i'm not the only one whose life is better because of your music, thank you. 💜
this song came out the day i got out of the hospital. i was there for a month for my mental health. This is a huge reason i go its beautiful and inspiring and just helps so many feel not alone. thank you dodie for making this you are so strong and beautiful you are my hero
All of Dodie's songs are very dear to me , and I've related to a lot of her songs before. But this one for some reason just hits me really hard. It's the only song of hers that leaves me sobbing every single time I hear it. Maybe it's because I've had a stressful few weeks, I don't know, but this song just really gets to me. This one is going to touch a lot of people.
I was diagnosed with clinical depression yesterday (whoopee) and it turns out I've had it for about 4 years. When I first heard this song I loved it and didn't really know why. I'm pretty sure I listened to it on one of my good days and just chalked it up to "Oh yeah great song good lyrics dodie's voice is awesome yes" but figuring out that I have depression has changed the meaning completely, especially because this week has been one of the hardest of my life. This morning, this song wandered into my brain and I played it again. I cried. Mainly sad tears but also hopeful tears. I will make it through. There will be a day when I can say I'm okay and mean it. Thank you for the secret, dodie. ❤ also!! if anyone feels like they might need help PLEASE GET HELP. I know it's hard (*trust me,* I know it's hard) but I promise you that you'll feel better if the right people know. I wish I could reach into the past and tell 15 year old Rea that what she's feeling is okay and that she just needs to open up but because I can't, I'm telling you. Even if you're not sure you have something, just please talk to a professional about it. I love you ❤
I believe something is wrong with me and I decided that tomorrow I'm going to ask for help to my school's psychologist. I'm scare that he's going to say that I'm just exaggerating but since yesterday I've been crying so hard because someone robbed me, but when I cry I just not think about that fact but about other things like I feel so alone right now and that I feel I have no one I can talk to. I'm sorry if my comment upsets you, but I just wanted to say it to someone.
This song means everything to me, Dodie. When you first released it, I absolutely loved it, but now it means even more to me & I need to share. Last night, I had a terrible anxiety attack, & I've been struggling with a lot of depression recently as well. This morning, I awoke with this song in my head, so I decided to listen to it... & I realized that everything really is going to be okay, & there are people like you that completely understand what I'm going through. Thank you, Dodie. I love you so much.
I'm more blown away with the fact that this is just one note repeatedly played
Jhunter multiple chords via vocals that all share the piano note
It creates this nice constant in the song, even though the background vocals change just that one note into different chords. There's always a little thing in the song you can fall back on.

I feel like this song hits way more hard when you take a step back from it, and really see how she looks in this video, the way she's singing and she conveys these lyrics and you realize....this video, this song, these words, she didn't just write them for us, she wrote them for herself as well.

Graceless I am feeling the exact same way right now. I feel like I'm slowly just losing my ability to care about what is happening around me. This scares me BC I thought I only had anxiety and I dont know where all of my depressing thoughts are coming from. Then I don't like being venerable in front of my family so dont know how to talk about it. I just relate to this song on such a personal level. Oh. Im sorry for writing a really long paragraph.
Have you had your day yet? 💛
Medge how are you now? I’m genuinely curious, I hope you’re doing so much better now
There's a song called Nickel Dream by Nanci Griffith with the lyrics:
Now she wishes she looked like they tell her she looks all the time
What she'd give just to feel like she tells them she's feelin' just fine.
That resonates with my in a very similar way. Hope you are doing better now ❤
every time i'm about to give up, i come back to this song. every single time.

edit: you guys are amazing. thank you so much for your kind words and encouragements.
actually same
Stay strong, you can do it, believe me ❤️
Jillian Loves same I have to see my dad in a week who has been abusing me physically and mentally for the last 5 years and we lost the case against him. I have to see him again.
Stay strong and im proud of you for making this far, ive been there and i know this is so cliche but it WILL get better life gets better just make sure you're there to see it
Mr. Toast stay strong! I know me saying that won't help anything but you'll get through this xx
this made me burst into tears because i've felt so severely depersonalised and i just wanted to be able to celebrate christmas but i just felt so not real and when i listened to this i could smell my mum making banana bread and i had memories of why i loved christmas so much and this just made me so much calmer and thank you so much dodie you are such an inspiration
I feel the exact same, and the same happened to me at Christmas, we are in this together
The chorus of this song is not even in my register, I try to sing it and it just comes out as silence 😂
LOL, transpose an octave or two. I sing the song in a deep baritone and it works fine for me. Although, I did have a hard time figuring out the chord structure from watching the video ;)
I do when I play it myself! Sometimes I just wanna sing along to this video though so I just deal with the silent chorus 😂
SAME
When you're an alto and everyone underestimates what you mean when you say that you can't sing high notes 😥😂
Ironic..
OMG FINALLY A DODIE SONG I CAN PLAY ON THE PIANO!!!!
Melaina Uhrig same😂
Melaina Uhrig saaame
Same
lmao
Melaina Uhrig ahhhhh yes
This song was uploaded 5 days before my planned suicide. When i first listened to it i was blown away and fell in love instantly. I'm probably still alive today cause of these lyrics and her so soft comforting voice. In this song you can feel the sincerity in her voice and i truly believed for once that things could get better. I love you Dodie, thank you so much. thank you.
I'm so happy for you! Keep fighting
Ok so I know this is a serious matter, but, before reading the comment, I saw twaims and laughed so hard I cried
BEAUTIFUL PLEASE NEVER PLAN THAT AGAIN YOU ARE SO MEANIGNFUL AND IMPORTANT TO THIS WORLD YOU HAVE NO IDEA YOU IMPACT MILLIONS OF PEOPLES LIVES PLEASE NEVER THINK OF DOING THAT AGAIN YOUR EXISTENCE IS VITAL FOR MANY PEOPLE,
the singing goose I LOVE YOU DUDE
the singing goose I'm so glad you're still here, you can do it
Does anyone else picture her singing with her facial expressions when listening to her EP?
OMG SAME IS THAT WEIRD
Alyssa Levenberg omg I thought I was the only one
Weirdly enough, yes! (Except it's with almost every Dodie song on my playlist)
Alyssa Levenberg yyyyeeessss!!!
Alyssa Levenberg definitely.
OMG in Party Tattoos Dodie said she was writing her book "Secrets For The Mad" for the past six months, and this video was uploaded 6 months ago, when she began work on it! This is like a Easter egg announcement video!
Oh don't worry, I wanted a pool of my tears anyway.
ok i listened to this when you posted it, but i can confirm that i may have listened to this at least 20 times a day since then
Same
Me
yup, same
Millie Goode same
these days 'have' = 'of'...
this song is so simple but so beautiful and comforting and im in so love with it my first born shall be named after it
I agree
"Secretforthemad, come down for dinnerrr!"
sawyer moon "Secretforthemad, clean your room!"
Teacher: **Doing attendance**
Teacher: "Is Secretforthemad here?"
Secretforthemad: *...*
Secretforthemad: *"...call me Secret..."*
dearest dodie, you saved a life yet again. thank you
Are you doing ok now? Remember to reach out to those who love you, you can message me if you need xx
wow this song really hits me hard in my probably-not-even-real-not-actually-diagnosed mental illness/emotional instability
Dante Rodriguez same
Dante Rodriguez me too
Trust me, being diagnosed didn't make me feel less guilty and insecure about my emotional state. Your emotions are just as valid. You don't need a doctor to tell you that you feel like shit. Stay strong!
same
It's a lot easier if you treat it like it's real. You'll be ok :)
I love listening to this whenever I feel down because the words are just so reassuring and I can have a little cry and let it all out
Hana :Jinghay: Me to Fren....Me too....
same!
Beautiful song. Can you upload a piano tutorial for this?
I'm pretty sure its just a B over and over again
sascha miel I think its an A
I Swear Im Not A Kid no , i thought it was an A at first but then i played an A and it sounded wrong, and a B matches the pitch so
Yeah, it's definitely b
sascha miel oh okay sorry😁
Don't think I've seen someone make something so beautiful out of one piano key. This is blowing my mind
THOSE MINOR HARMONIES GIRL. thank you for this song as well dodes. sometimes i need reminding that what my head is doing won't last forever :)
i love this because it gets stuck in my head which for one is good because it's a fuckin ace song, and two, like,,,, these are the BEST lyrics to be playing in your head repeatedly??? because it's a constant subconscious reminder that "in a little bit of time it won't hurt so bad" which is TRUE and that "there will be a day where you can say you're okay and mean it" which is TRUUUUE and my brain is usually buzzing with thoughts that are quite the literal opposite and it is SO HARD to get those thoughts to stop or replace them on your own with positive ones (like these lyrics), but because this is a song and a fricking GOOD 1 it just gets stuck in your head so easily that the negative thoughts are replaced without having to try and i just,,, its so lovely, it's like honestly therapy in your head THANK YOU DODIE BL ESS YO U
Aleesha King ahhhh this is so lovely to see
doddlevloggle AH the best thing to wake up to! I'm so glad, you've helped me so much
I'm so happy that I and many others have a Dodie to listen to when she tells us things like this.
Now if only Dodie had always had a Dodie of her own to tell HER. Instead she had to learn the hard way.
Poor bean D :
I just had an entire therapy session about this song. When it came out, it held so much sadness for me. I would listen to it and cry because dodie was right, I didn't believe it. I couldn't see how the things she was saying would ever be possible for me. Listening to it again now, I'm sitting here crying because I'm listening from the other side. It makes sense. I've made it through. Thank you dodie. It truly means the world.
When I heard the lyric "There will be a day where you can say you're ok and mean it," it reminded me of my best friend. She has been struggling with mental health. She has gone through, and overcome self harm. I still think she is going through things, like anxiety and depression. I don't know what to do. I care about her so much. When I heard that lyric I instantly thought of her. She always says she's fine when she's obviously not. Her birthday is coming up. I heard the lyric and stopped everything. I wrote out the lyric on a piece of paper, in different fonts, and in different layouts. When making it, I started crying. I care about my best friend so much. I'm giving it to her on her birthday. I cried twice while making it. That lyric means so much to me.
pretentious ukulele Hearing this, I thought of a friend too, I love her to bits but she is struggling.
pretentious ukulele it's sad cause I am this friend and I had no clue how this affected them. I went and apologized to all my friends. I didn't even realize which makes me feel worse. I'm still sobbing (btw is you profile pic of Micheal from BMC?)
My friend is the very same. She's been in and out of mental health facilities in hospitals and has so many different medications and side effect problems and it's been so hard. And my anxiety has been increasingly getting worse and worse and I'm going to the doctors in two days of writing this to hopefully get medicated. That lyric hits me so hard for both me and my friend's sake. So much love to your friend. She's a fighter. 💛
this reminds me of my best friend as well, except she never overcame anything.. i worry about her a lot but everytime i tell her that i care she just says "okay" and stops talking. one time i got her to open up and she told me she had planned her suicide. i was trying not to breakdown crying. all i could say is "please remember to talk to me."
pretentious ukulele she's lucky to have you
I'll listen to this on repeat until I can say I'm okay and mean it.
Thank you for this Dodie, thank you so so much.
JustineTheHuman We'll get through this, stranger
Me too.
I LOVE the line where she says "There's nothing to do right now but try, there are 100 people who would listen to you cry, and I get that they don't get it, but they love you so much that you won't regret it". It reminds me of what my friends tell me, "You can make 100 mistakes, we will listen to you cry, but we love you so much that you'll never regret it". AS you can see, VERY close to that line (:
This is absolutely beautiful!
I love that!!
I always find myself coming back to this song whenever I feel hopeless. Me and My Family are currently going through the third time of my mum having cancer. It is terminal and it has given me overwhelming depression. But these lyrics just describe exactly how I feel and I feel like it was tailored for me. Its just so emotional to hear someone describe how you feel whilst being reassured that one day it'll all make sense again...
Sam Daly im here for you. i hope you and your family well and i know it's not enough but it's all i have ❤️
angie thank you so much 💛 it's so relieving to know that there are people like this in the world ✨
Sam Daly hi, I'm here for the same reason, my cousin who has been living with me since we were born has cancer, it all came suddenly and I'm still in shock, she's like my sister and I can't do anything to make her feel better, she's just 12. why does cancer has to be a thing?????????? i hope everything's fine over there, I'm here for you, I send you lots of love and a virtual hug ❤✨
kat I'm so sorry to hear that! Just know that you're in my thoughts over here and I'm sending you all my love and wishes. And tell me about it! It's such an ugly thing but it means a lot that people are as supportive as they are 💛
Sam Daly you and your family in my heart💞
everytime i feel sad, anxious or anything like that i come back to this song. it calms me down and allows me to think through what's happening in my mind. nothing has been easy for me in the last few years, and the lyric i can find myself in is 'there's nothing to do right now but try'. all i have been doing is just trying, and to this day i still am, but the best thing is that i haven't quit. i kept trying, even through the hardest of times.
lalizziela thank you so much! i’ve actually talked to my mum recently and hopefully seeing a doctor soon, so i hope that’ll make things better and clearer
lalizziela thank you, means a lot!
i kind of just wanna go hug her and protect her honestly
Caedes Leijon Yup! Haha
IS THAT WIRT! (I wanna hug her too)
"There will be a day where you can say you're okay and mean it." Wow. That hit me hard. Can you put this on ITunes? I want this on my phone.
Rebecca Jacobs same 😥😖
www.youtube-mp3.org I use this site on my computer when the songs aren't on iTunes :) That will download it on to your iTunes then you can sync it to your phone (tfw all your favorite singers are you tubers who don't have all their music on iTunes)
if you support dodie on patreon you get free downloads :) :)
Dani W after you click download, how do you hear it in ITunes?
it should open up in iTunes and if not you can click on the download then save it to a playlist or something so you can find it :)
fun fact: i bought a keyboard just to learn this song.
that's a true statement, that's how much this song means to me.
keep it up for us low esteem's in your piles of fans
Amazing! :D I love the line "and I get that I don't get it" because sometimes we don't understand what the other person is going through, and admitting it is important. Otherwise we're gonna keep insisting we do and pushing our not-well-thought-out advice and solutions on to them because we think we know exactly what's going on. Sometimes we do get it, but it's important to admit when we don't.
+BeeTrueBaker :)
doddleoddle it was so beautiful you go dodie
doddleoddle hello, please know that I was having a rough day with a few rough moments and I heard this song now that I am home and you genuinely made me feel a bit better. My family and i love your videos and songs, Freckles and constellations and My face are my favorites. I saw your awkward song with Jon I believe and I was where I became hooked. Thank you for being you and thank you for making us all smile and feel better. hugs!
PaytonThinks
Yes, very important
you're an inspiration to me dodie. i can't help but love everything about you.
ZizYoubizHERE yes I know right.
ZizYoubizHERE SAME!!
Fuck me up. It is too early for this. It hit me like a freight train. I'm 22 and for years I've been going back and forth from doctors trying to get help for my depression and anxiety. It felt like so much effort and wasted time for something that never helped or worked. A few months ago I was diagnosed with bipolar type 1 disorder and everything seemed to click into place. Why none of the medications I had tried seemed to help. Why my symptoms felt like they only sometimes matched. Why some days I felt so fucking invincible and the next I was floating in the endless abyss of emptiness. For the first time in my life I feel like I'm getting help that may be working. I've got a psychiatrist who isn't blaming everything on me being gay, or fat or on my parents divorce. Who actually listens and knows how to help me with something I can't control. Someone who is making it easier to deal with day to day. I'm hoping I'll one day (soon) be able to say I'm okay and mean it 😍😍
stay strong, random stranger. it's worth it.
Lynsey Cormack I 100% believe you will be completely and utterly okay and happy! We've all got your back!
Lynsey Cormack Stay strong, darling. You'll make it one day. Just don't lose hope.
Lynsey Cormack I have your back, Lynsey. :)
I know what it is like to have anxiety. But trust me you can do it!
Reading through these comments and crying a little bit... reminds me that we're all in this together and even though we might feel alone, none of us are. Thank you for that, Dodie.
Initially I didn't appreciate the true beauty of this song, but now I can't stop listening to it. Every part if this song is precious, not just one or two lines like I normally pick out from songs
Lauren Power yeah same with me
Same here! The first time I just skipped this song. I just listened to it again since 2 weeks and I really love this song now. Thanks to Crankgames, otherwise I wouldn't have thought about it again.
JooyC Yeah i didn't like this song that much when i first heard it, but i listened to it again and now i love it
My mental health I can feel is going very quickly into a downward spiral at the minute. My sleepless nights, paranoia and panic attacks are on the rise again. Listening to this made me curl up in a ball and cry, thank you Dodie so much. I really needed this right about now
stay strong, alright? it's worth it.
Daldo weakens can slap me with his bass Thanks, I know it is worth it :)
+Daldo weakens can slap me with his bass I know this is a very serious comment but youR NAME
In the few weeks since I first heard it, this song has become very important to me. In a few days I am being hospitalised for mental health problems, and I'm absolutely petrified. This song helps me to feel like there is hope, like someday it will make sense again and everything else this song says. This song is beautiful and the lyrics are so powerful. It's such a lovely song and I just want to say thank you for writing/singing it. It means a lot to me.
I really wonder how you are now?
Eva Smart I'm doing alright. I'm still in hospital, but I'm making a lot of progress with my recovery. I'm a lot better than I was. Thank you for caring x
how are you now?
tiamat100 - your youtube/g+ pals demand regular updates ;)
Ath Athanasius you guys are so nice! Thank you. I'm doing a lot better now. I have 3 weeks of treatment left before I'll be discharged. To put some things in a little context, before I went into hospital I was almost completely housebound because of my mental health struggles, and today I have just finished 3 days of camping at a music festival. That would have been unimaginable when I wrote that first comment. This song had continued to help me. Something about it is just so earnest and encouraging. I don't know how many times I've listened to it now. Thank you all so much for caring. It's so encouraging. I'm still looking into what will happen when I get discharged, but I have so many more options than I did before. Obviously most of that is the treatment, but sometimes you need a lovely song like this or people caring enough to ask how you are to get you through the terrible moments and into recovery. Thank you :)
This only makes me want to scream to the world even more that after some hardcore therapy because of childhood trauma. I am officially NON CLINICAL :D I no longer have any labels of anything. After 15 damn years I can say I am okay and mean it.
I love you Dodie..thank you for being so badass and honest about mental illness.
so happy for you!

There are people who are there for you. Things are really bad rn but I just have to keep hoping everything will get better. And there some terrible lows in life and there are problems that won't ever go away, but there so tremendous highs in store for you.
Keep on keeping on ❤️❤️❤️
THANK YOU DODIE I REALLY NEEDED THAT. THANKS FOR THE WONDERFUL FEELINGS YOU GIVE ME. I LOVE YOU AND I MEAN IT FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART
Lucas D aw
how do you have such perfect timing
thank you
thank you so much for this
TwoTwelveAM I just commented about that too then I saw everyone else's comments about the timing. It's like you feel this way and you don't even realize it, but the only thing that will really resolve the way you feel is a Dodie song
Dodie Clark has always had her own way with music. She's been through some very difficult times, which, even as a devoted fan, I'm sure I know next to nothing about, and has overcome said challenges, going on to make a beautiful song about it whilst motivating others, in just a single note. Dodie Clark is a badass.
Varun Srivastava *dodie, lower case d
Tom Baggott Right. dodie. Always, dodie.
everyone loves the song
and im over here like,
"HOW DID SHE KEEP HITTING THAT NOTE PERFECTLY ON BEAT?!"
random idea:
Jon, Dodie and Thomas should sing "one for the road" together
I NEED THIS
LexieIsLame PLEASE
plz
LexieIsLame I love your profile picture.
oh my god please
Dodie, I feel like I am not worth anything and about an hour ago I was ready to give up. I then remembered about this video and it really got me through it. I doubt I'll ever be truly happy but when I needed it you were there and I am so grateful for that
Heart Eyes Howell 💗💗
Heart Eyes Howell I'm so happy you're still here ❤️
Heart Eyes Howell you are worth something, you're worth everything please try to remember that
You are a beautiful human. The planet is lucky to have you . Keep going, I promise you'll find a reason soon enough. Remember that you're loved, and that people care.💜
Heart Eyes Howell Stay strong. I may not know you but I know you're valid
dodie... your song-writing has just come on leaps and bounds over the last year or so and I'm in awe. this is such a stunning song. it kinda reminds me of Feist, if you know her - the way you developed something so beautiful, meaningful, capturing, out of something so simple. the rhythms and harmonies are just yES. also your voice in this? holy balls. you nailed those high notes and ornamentations like wow wow wowwoww wow wow wow omg.
+++
agreed ! :D
Izzy Inkpen +
Izzy Inkpen with every new song, it becomes harder and harder to believe that her songwriting skills can ever possibly improve anymore - yet they continue to step it up a notch, every single time, without fail 😂😱😱😍😍😍❤️❤️❤️😭
After a re-listen I realised I forgot to say I love the clarinet! I loooove it when you use your clarinet in songs it brings such a gorgeous tone in that's p unique for pop songs :)
This is going to sound really silly but Dodie you fixed all of my mental health problems over night. For 5 years ive been self harming and been suicidal and ive tried everything but NOTHING would fix me. I went to your concert and heard this song and something just clicked inside me and i got the motivation to pull myself together and honestly ive never been happier. I never even thought it would be an overnight fix but im so grateful and it means so much that im happy again. I love you Dodie
Edit: okay like yeahh im not better tbh so sorry to disappoint you all
Ella JB I feel very proud of you 💗
@@ellajb5886 I hope you're doing better 💛
Life has its ups and downs! But the important part is it has its ups. It's never hopeless, and it *will* make sense again, even though it will also not make sense again
How are you doing now?
Ella JB oof what a sad comment lol
as someone who just got out of the hospital for an attempt this means a whole fucking lot
Rachel Lane i hope you're feeling better now!
Just so you know that someone out there is thinking of you and that you are valued .. stay strong. you are loved.
Rachel Lane I'm so glad you're recovering! Such good news! 😊
Rachel Lane so happy you've recovered. Never forget, people care, we care ❤
dodie, i have no words. all I can say is that I really, really needed this song. you did not disappoint. thank you for making amazing music for all of us to sob along to, and teaching us valuable lessons through song. i love YOU and your music. please never stop creating.
+valerie m. Xxx
Thank you Dodie, thank you so much, please never stop doing what you do, I hope one day I'll be able to say I'm ok and mean it, but for now you're the thing that helps me get closer to not being...well, mad!
Lhana Orr i also promise you will one day be truly okay. and you are worth it, so keep fighting
who else came back after listening to the ep version
Christell Chavez heya
Me
Meee
thank you so much . this helped, alot
Christell Chavez heyo
With every dodie song I hear it gets stuck in my head for at least a week and I don't even get sick of it. When Intertwined was released, each song got into my head in turn (first sick of losing soulmates then intertwined, when, hole in my tooth, life lesson, etc.) This week it's been this.
It's so amazing that you can create a thing like that with so much minimalism and simplistic.
I'm crying so hard right now oh god I need a way to download this omg
Nancy Garner convert it via online yt converter plug in your phone and done
you can also "tip" her on patreon and you'll get a free download!
I was feeling kinda dysphoric but this has cheered me up
Guys this going to take me forever to learn on the piano 😫😫
I know! There's just so many notes!
remarKable Randomness okay lmao
ha lol
where you planning on getting the notes from?
remarKable Randomness Ikr like she's Beethoven
When Dodie plays a song on literally one note and it sounds amazing
See, this is why music is so amazing. Look at all these comments! Look at how many people feel so much better from one song! Look at all the aching hearts that have been warmed! What a beautiful kind of power that music possesses!!!! How lovely is this!!!! Friends, there is always hope and love surrounding you. Sometimes it's hard to see, but it'll always peek through right when you think you've lost it forever- it might even appear on your UA-cam subscription feed. Thank you so much for the beautiful song Dodie, we love you!!!!!
+Olivia Scott
doddleoddle omg thank you for responding my life is complete!!!
O S you and me need to get out more. I hankered after a reply from Liam Fray of the Courteeners (feel free Dodie to do a cover of one of their songs, maybe Tip Toes from their latest album) on Twitter. I eventually got a silent reply (or evidence that he had read my tweets) - he blocked me!!
Still, in ur case, I'm glad that Dodie responded to you albeit with a mathematical expression: less than three wotever that means in UTube speak. :-)
i literally cried that was so beautiful and comforting for someone who's gone and is still going through recovery

Bad day?
Rylee Watson bad month more like lol
Misanthropic Aww :(
Hope you feel better.
Rylee Watson aw thanks so much :D
Dodie. I am holding on to this song like you wouldn't believe. I feel this song like it's the feelings tumbling around in my head. You have such a unique gift. Your writing/music/storytelling strikes a cord in me like I don't feel with anyone else's music. You make my soul move. Thank you.
Roses are red
Violets are blue
I will never be as pretty as Dodie?
Yeah, that's true.
aww... me neither
same
same she is so pretty
Ya feel like a 6/10?
Camilla Hansen That's not true, you're just pretty in a different way. You're you, and Dodie's Dodie. You're supposed to be different, and that's not a bad thing for either of you:)
i just want to be a good songwriter and write things like this
almost the same problem, yet people tell me i'm good at song writing but i cant sing for crap... i also hate playing the uke and singing in front of people with their eyes and ears paying attention to all my mistakes. lol
people tell me im a good singer but i cant write songs rip
im opposite :(
Passion if for you first, then others ;)
I've listened to this several times every day since it was posted and cried. I'm about to be 18 and I'm getting a tattoo on my birthday. I think I'm going to get "you're at the bottom, this is it. just get through, you will be fixed." on my ribcage. This song means a lot to me❤
Jarod McCormick aw that's so cool
Jarod McCormick That'll hurt 😷
Jared Kioshi Ayyye we have the same name. And I know it will, but I think it'll be totally worth it. That line applies to my life so much that I'd be completely willing to go through the pain for it.
Haha alright don't pass out 😂
I sure hope I don't. I'm used to pain from piercings, but I know this'll hurt a lot more🙃
Dodie performed this tonight at her concert in SLC. Just before she began singing, a girl in the crowd shouted that this song saved her life. The song is always wonderful, but it was such a special thing to hear in that context. I was in tears by the end. Love you Dodie. Thank you so much for all you do to make us feel understood.
all these comments. all these people. going through shit i could never imagine. and you know what helped them? dodie. her songs speak to people in an unimaginable way. they speak to me. thank you, so much.
Hey Dodie, I just wanted to say thank you for existing. I hit bottom with my depressive symptoms recently and a close friend sent me a link to this song. It was the start of looking for help, turning around and trying, and it helped me to feel SO much less alone in all of this. Thank you so much for pouring your heart into your music. This song really helps no matter how bad the days get, and I know i'm not the only one whose life is better because of your music, thank you. 💜
The line about being able to say you're okay and mean it really hit home💕
I can't tell you how many times this song has helped me not give up on myself in the last 5 years. Just, thank you.
this song came out the day i got out of the hospital. i was there for a month for my mental health. This is a huge reason i go its beautiful and inspiring and just helps so many feel not alone. thank you dodie for making this you are so strong and beautiful you are my hero
Natalie J. Saroff Stay strong
All of Dodie's songs are very dear to me , and I've related to a lot of her songs before. But this one for some reason just hits me really hard. It's the only song of hers that leaves me sobbing every single time I hear it. Maybe it's because I've had a stressful few weeks, I don't know, but this song just really gets to me. This one is going to touch a lot of people.
thank you
I was diagnosed with clinical depression yesterday (whoopee) and it turns out I've had it for about 4 years. When I first heard this song I loved it and didn't really know why. I'm pretty sure I listened to it on one of my good days and just chalked it up to "Oh yeah great song good lyrics dodie's voice is awesome yes" but figuring out that I have depression has changed the meaning completely, especially because this week has been one of the hardest of my life. This morning, this song wandered into my brain and I played it again. I cried. Mainly sad tears but also hopeful tears. I will make it through. There will be a day when I can say I'm okay and mean it. Thank you for the secret, dodie. ❤
also!! if anyone feels like they might need help PLEASE GET HELP. I know it's hard (*trust me,* I know it's hard) but I promise you that you'll feel better if the right people know. I wish I could reach into the past and tell 15 year old Rea that what she's feeling is okay and that she just needs to open up but because I can't, I'm telling you. Even if you're not sure you have something, just please talk to a professional about it. I love you ❤
I believe something is wrong with me and I decided that tomorrow I'm going to ask for help to my school's psychologist. I'm scare that he's going to say that I'm just exaggerating but since yesterday I've been crying so hard because someone robbed me, but when I cry I just not think about that fact but about other things like I feel so alone right now and that I feel I have no one I can talk to. I'm sorry if my comment upsets you, but I just wanted to say it to someone.
No need to apologise! I'm proud of you already. Let me know how it goes x

"theres nothing to right now but try. theres a hundred people who will listen to you cry" - my favorite lyrics ever
I got up early to finish putting up Christmas decorations and I'm literally just sitting crying at this amazing song instead
Hello, I'm an idiot same omg it's so beautiful
This song means everything to me, Dodie. When you first released it, I absolutely loved it, but now it means even more to me & I need to share. Last night, I had a terrible anxiety attack, & I've been struggling with a lot of depression recently as well. This morning, I awoke with this song in my head, so I decided to listen to it... & I realized that everything really is going to be okay, & there are people like you that completely understand what I'm going through. Thank you, Dodie. I love you so much.
