    i’ll always admire the honesty, vulnerability, and rawness in your music- it’s clear your soul is poured into each song, regardless of whether it’s pretty or not.

    • @lindsayh8374
      @lindsayh8374 Рік тому +24

      This is so well put. All of her songs have this raw honesty, and I think that makes a lot of them incredibly vulnerable as well. That vulnerability is what makes her music so beautiful, even if what she’s singing about isn’t seen that way

      @@lindsayh8374 that is so true. i have recommended her songs to so many friends but no one could really appreciate her rawness, they just straight up said “its good..” and theres always a “but its not my type of music” or “but i dont understand”. i mean, could u at least just listen and feel the music??? im so furious lol

    As a dad, I thank you so much. My daughter, who is now 23, you were her first music love, apart from our kitchen dance (imposed like). I would often hear your music, when she was a teenager, from her bedroom. There was a place that you spoke to her and her friends. My wife died this year and we had our first holiday period without her. We had a Dodie night of kitchen dance. It was so much fun and light. My daughter is studying, but is writing her first book, which is to a certain extent, inspired by your talent. Thanks for that matey.

    When that "perfect" relationship is quietly falling apart without anyone else noticing. Looking back years later, I realise that us, the "perfect" couple, were doing everything we possibly could to hurt one another, without even knowing what we were doing. How can a one minute song take me back all those years and reveal these truths to me again? Because art is universal, and this is great art. This and No Big Deal are like arrows through my heart. Healing for me, ultimately. I hope healing for dodie, too.

    I can’t shake the wounds they gave me.
    I self harmed in an attempt to cope.
    I know now that all these negative thought patterns are unhealthy for me. But I’ll still return to them to justify my pain.
    I’d rather find an easy solution than do the work to recover.

    I don't know if it was intentional, but "it'll sure hurt when it sets for the last time" feels like it has an interesting double meaning to it. The sun setting for the final time is going to hurt. There will be a time when you won't be able to sit and watch the sunset with someone you love anymore. But there's also the meaning of the word set, which means when a bone sets and mends itself. It will hurt when you have to decide to start making better decisions, but it will also hurt if you just keep making bad ones and it sets incorrectly.
    There's a chance it wasn't intentional, but I think it's cool either way.

    this hits SO close to home... your lyrics always feel like comfort and vulnerability to me, but I'm pretty sure this demo is my favorite of yours so far.
    I had my cutesy "absolutely smitten / rainbow" era when I was fourteen / fifteen, grew into a more "boys like you / she" phase, and now, "hot mess" and "help myself" are the songs I relate to the most ( but I hold all of your songs close to my heart anyways !! I just associate them to different periods of time ).
    your work and presence literally built my childhood - and they're still a major part of my life to this day. I now know how important it is to embrace all of my feelings, even the ugliest and most painful ones. lots of therapy and self-care were needed to come this far, but having you as a role model was the push young me needed to get better.
    you made it easier for me to communicate, to heal, to understand and to be myself, to project my life as a young adult.
    being so open and transparent with your audience is such a healthy thing to do - it taught me how to admire people with putting them on a pedestal. we're all human and going through the same things. it's nice to have a gentle reminder that we're not alone in this sometimes :)
    I'm so grateful, thank you so much for everything ❤️
