@@johnrenzzilabbo1621 hahahaha yep I recognised it instantly due to the trauma lol! Also, thanks for the likes everyone! If anyone is curious, the place at the beginning is where we left our bags and the hall where she is dancing was filled with 300+ desks and chairs. One year I nearly failed as it was a hard exam (I legit passed by 0.1%) and the year I sat my finals I nearly failed because I accidentally got my timings wrong and had to answer 50 questions in half an hour :/ it all worked out in the end though!
While watching this video, I was thinking "I wish Tessa and Dodie would collab on a song". So... hint hint. EDIT: NOW I FEEL DUMB BECAUSE YOU HAVE. A LOT... more, please? 😂
One thing I really appreciate in Dodie's music videos is how she seems so aware of all the women around her and how they're experiencing the same pain she is. Like in 6/10, all the other girls in the room who looked just like her were experiencing the same thing, or in Boys Like You, they were all just caught in the same game she was. And here all the women have the same lonely look on their faces, reminding us that our experiences of pain are shared by many others which is both tragic and beautiful. I feel this song is discussing how women try and play the "cool girl", a mythical fantasy created by men (and named by Amy from Gone Girl, oo, look at that) where a woman is chill, doesn't get "emotional" and is "easy" to date. So many women are performing this role in their relationships, and you can see how lonely it makes them feel. Gah, there's just so much to appreciate. I feel we've really progressed from grouping women against each other with the "she wears short skirts I wear t-shirts" stuff. There is so much empathy for women in Dodie's music and it's so great. I don't know...just wanted to say that. Sorry.
I totally agree with you!! Thank you for commenting this! I think a large part of why dodie's music is so comforting to so many people is that it makes everyone feel less alone. It shows us that everyone is going through the same sort of things even though we don't talk about it or necessarily realise it.
AMEN. Even the way you ended this comment with "sorry" goes to show how we're made to feel even about sharing our ideas... DON'T be sorry for explaining your beautifully worded understanding of Dodie's song! I loved to read it.
@@emilyb1311 Girl--I realized that the moment I published it, like "Oh gosh, I just apologized for having an opinion, why...whyyyy!" But yes! Thank you! I love how Dodie create something beautiful out of a shared pain many people (particularly but not exclusively women) experience. I'm so happy she's finally getting a full album, she has matured so much as an artist and is making some beautiful works.
Ok it took me a minute to get the theme of this choreography and stuff but wOA THIS IS COOL. She doesn’t do everything in sync with the other dancers but she’s still a part of it (none of them are actually doing the exact same thing anyway), she tries to walk away sometimes but it always ends up being in the direction the dance is going. *She’s pretending like she’s not part of the dance but she still is.* I also love how all of the dancers are a few feet from each other and have slightly different movements - they all have different lives and stories, and feel isolated from each other, but really they’re going through the same things. Beautiful.
i also love how the space between the dancers almost feels like a reference to the pandemic as well and how during this time when our main communication is through social media negative comparison is higher than ever for so many
It was only right near the end when I realised "holy crap, that's all one take". So so good. Also adore the production on this, the kick drum is absolutely gorgeous and warm, and the vocals are mixed perfectly
towards the end when she began 'knocking' the other women down, i thought that was really smart. she's acting superior since she's the 'cool girl', she's different as she stood above them all. but then, for a moment, she lies down with them, copying their movements. she's wishing she could be care free like them. whilst they dance in harmony, she's trying to prove herself different. it's like a battle of internalised misogyny for the approval of others. that's my interpretation anyway.
This i such an interesting take (not how I interpreted it at first, but I definitely see this. I think that’s the beauty in music and videos like these, it’s all what you take away from it. Amazing theory though✨
I also think there's an element of putting yourself down or letting yourself be a victim because you've put others down and you feel guilty. To me it looked like she knocked all the other girls down and then went "what have I done? I'll fall down too then." You can put others down to build yourself up and be the "cool girl", but in the end you defined yourself by other people's expectations so you knocked yourself down too. The relationship you build based on being different isn't going to be a healthy one.
I carry the time we don't talk In a backpack Leave it on the side with the nights You didn't call me back And all the ideas, and the hope I'd never ask him for I'll throw them away, it's okay Without a second thought God, I swore I wouldn't play The age old game Yeah, I watched you all ask all your lovers away Rolling your eyes To the backs of your heads Surely you know to close them instead Cool girl Will be different I'll be quiet Oh so easy Cool girl Will be different I'll be quiet Oh so easy How much of a tongue can I bite Until we notice blood? Spit to the left, carry on Just smile and say you're good You all plead and demand All your needs but you can't He'll be asked 'till he's bored I would know, I've been bored before Chill out if it's late Or every heavy sigh will seal a fate God, I swore (God, I swore) I wouldn't play The age old game Yeah, I watched you all ask all your lovers away Rolling your eyes To the backs of your heads Surely you know to close them instead Cool girl Will be different I'll be quiet I'll be easy Cool girl Will be different I'll be quiet I'll be easy No, I won't be like them (Cool girl, will be different, I'll be quiet, I'll be easy) Want me more than friend (Cool girl, will be different, I'll be quiet, I'll be easy) No, I won't be like them (Cool girl, will be different, I'll be quiet, I'll be easy) I'll be quiet again (Cool girl, will be different, I'll be quiet, I'll be easy) Oh so easy
my brain so desperately wants there to be another syllable or two between, "surely you know", and, "to close them instead" (Also, I finally listened to/tried to sing this a few times in the shower today, and I finally heard what, "asked", and "away", were; so then I suddenly understood, "I should know, I've been bored before", and DAMN)
I think it's "ask all your lovers to play" rather than "lovers away", and maybe "he'll be arsed till he's bored". Like can be bothered until he's bored
There's such a strange tension between trying not to be like others but at the same time basing all your behavior off of them. It's brilliantly conveyed here.
I'm a dancer so I focused more on the dancing and it's just a beautiful choreography! it flows very easily and is mesmerizing to watch. it's not about tricks and showing off but about being in sync with the song and the vibe. great artistic choice!
3:19 she breaks out of the crowd, looks proud in a childlike way, looking at the person whose approval she is seeking. when the camera zooms out again, i think it symbolized the temporary boost of attention fading, she looks disappointed in that same childlike way, as if subordinate to the person who she chases. when the camera leaves, she falls back into the dances she were trying to escape.
So dodie asked on Instagram how we interpret the song and I wanted to add. dodie's narrative voice is preoccupied with the discussion of broken promises of the past, and the redundant desires to make them again. From 'you didn't call me back' to 'I'll be different' the narrative voice is splintered between past and future, thematically reminiscent of When. I love the contrast of the line 'I'll be different' with the cyclical use of the line in each chorus. The promise to change is encased into the most repetitive structure of the song showing the misplaced determination of the speaker. The music video visually echos this by placing dodie in the same place and position at the start and end of the video. This song is a cycle. This pain can't be cured until dodie grounds the speaker in their own present needs. This relationship promises to adapt but only leaves the character wallowing in self induced pathos.
Applying this to real life, I feel like this song can be such a wake up call for everybody including myself. We can never truly live life authentically until we stop comparing ourselves to others and what we 'could be' or 'used to be'. We need to start living in the now to be happy!

3:20 this part really struck me and its when the entirety of the choreography’s meaning fell into place. as the other girls continue dancing dodie sings “i wont be like them” and distances herself from the group. but at the end shes in the same position as before. women so often try and ostracize themselves, whether intentionally or not in order to seek out approval. there are moments where they all blend back together, and the end particularly struck me because they end in the same spots as they began. womanhood is a cycle and societally, it cannot be escaped. they will always be perceived the same. small ‘outbursts’ like this for a lack of better terminology are extremely liberating and limiting simultaneously. oof that was a whole essay lol beautiful job dodes. EDIT: looking back at the part i timestamped i also noticed how her expression changes. when she first steps out of the crowd she looks very proud and defiant, but the camera refuses in that moment to let her have the center stage again and as she becomes smaller, her face falls and it looks almost as if shes forced or pulled back into the same choreography. GOD i just watched this and i already want to go on about it for ages.
Beautifully said. It definitely points to the ways we isolate ourselves by trying to be “different” only to be acceptable and accepted in someone else’s eyes. In the end, just as much of a game and performance as any other. I also think there’s something beautifully human in that truth, though, which is that at the end of the day we’re all seeking the same thing, to be loved and accepted for who we are. And we’ll contort into all kinds of knots trying to get it.
[ Lemme modify my comment...] Actually she never did exactly like everybody else. She always slightly missed some moves, but the more the chore goes on, the more it is difficult for her to blend with the others. Walking is very natural move while they're all keeping the dancing, even out of the chorus line, she doesn't. (she refuses?) So when the chorus comes back, they've all gained in grace and even teamed up. She didn't, and she doen't naturally blend with the others anymore. she can't jump, or spin like a ballerina and basically did and feel excluded from the group. (In contrast to the begining when she was surrounded and much happier) Now, she knows old moves, but she doesn't share anything with the others anymore. All she can do is trying to mimic. Voila :) I see with variations throught all the peoples represented here : a struggle to be oneself. End.
dodie, you really are such an inspiration not only musically, but just as a woman and how you have matured and persevered in life. Whether or not you realize it, you have helped me and many many others feel recognized, and understood for things that are difficult to explain, process, and understand. I really love you and your work, thank you for motivating and inspiring me every day. You're like a friend I don't have :') lol
this mv is so unbelievably gorgeous. the colors make it look like a modern painting and every single one of the women in this video are absolutely STUNNING. dodie legitimately looks like a princess. i have no words.
everyone else: the masterful spins perfectly mirror the complexity of the lyrics and the movements reflect the inner conflict of the - me: p r e t t y p a n t s
Honestly I think the subtle mouthing along was a really cool touch. The song itself seems to function as a stream of consciousness throughout, a voice to all the women in the room, but only Dodie is breaking pattern and beginning to figure out and voice that thought process.
The sequences where everyone is dancing at the same time and the build up to the ending of the song when Dodie knocks them down was mesmerizing. I was just thinking about how hideous it feels to fight yourself to be what society want and in the process you are putting other women down. Even when we all are in the same dance doing the same things.

there is something so beautiful about the sisterhood women share.. knowing we all feel insecurities, feel like we're too much, that we need to water ourselves down to be acceptable and "easy". dodie's music is so empathetic and her music videos are so empowering. her art is so warm and comforting. i love this, dodie, well done
i love how in contrast to human you’re not constructing someone else to fit you, you’re trying to construct yourself. the variations of you are how you want to be perceived, perhaps by others, or how you want to perceive yourself. maybe it’s like 6/10 with comparison to others or maybe it’s about self love and growing but struggling to do so because how could you possibly fit all these ”cool girls” into a single cool girl. how you all move together but you separate yourself from the others maybe trying to be different and be your own cool girl but then you’re absorbed back into how others perceive you which leads you to feel isolated because you’re not presenting yourself simply another variation of this cool girl. and the ending could be how you detach yourself from it because you don’t feel truthful to who you are portraying to others- and that’s my really bad analysis of it hehehe
love how to the end she does these kicks, literally kicking them down bc she ‘wont be like the other girls’ not knowing shes bringing her self down with it... I had chills ugh so good
"How much of a tongue can I bite until we notice blood? A spit to the left, carry on - just nod and say you're good." I loooooove this, @dodie you are super talented at everything but honestly your writing skills are amazing.

I don't usually watch music videos a lot, but I've watched this one so many times already. It's all so perfectly beautifully done, the song and choreography just goes so well together. Kudos to everyone invovled.
Look how Dodie is alone in the beginning and then she goes to the other girls. In my opinion the other girls are the "cool girls" different from what Dodie is when she is herself. Also notice that she is barely in coordination with them like she is either before or after. Sometimes her moves dont even match with them. It's like she is trying so hard to fit in but she can't. But then again she's been through all of that after which she swore she wouldnt play the same old game which is why she keeps stopping and walks away. But then she looks at the camera giving it somewhat a sardonic smile, walks a bit and smiles again before going back with them. It's like she is doing this to please someone and this someone here might be represented by the camera. She stops and continues repeatedly, trying to blend in but then remembering that she's been there before but then trying to please someone again. She goes lying again with them blending in. But then she realises how much she had hurt everyone around her and realises she doesn't fit in with them and goes back sitting alone where she first was. She looks at the camera calmly, unbothered of what they think, since she is different and not like them but not difficult. But what she doesnt seem to notice is that everyone is different too. Like no one has been in coordination perfectly all the time as such and yet it's as if Dodie fails to see it. For e.g the girl shown at 0:34 in the beginning is alone in her corner too. Or at 2:21 there's someone else beside her trying to catch up with her, trying to fit in too but Dodie is too blinded by the person(s)/here represented by the camera as I said before. It happens also time where they are doing mismatched/contradictory moves but Dodie doesnt pay notice, her attention focused on the camera.
Absolutely incredible. And the choreography is absurdly good, loved it. And holy crap, the soloist in the crop turtleneck and green trousers is STUNNING. Her imrpov is on POINT.
Why does her mic quality sound like it's only meant for commentary videos also this comment you just put is basically what this whole comment section is LMFAO it's just a video
Hi dodie! I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but i can’t believe how much this hit me. I’m loud and angsty and hyper and big all the time, and when I like someone, I want to be the universe for them and make everything and anything possible, including if they don’t want me to be me. I’ve fought against my own desire to speak and act for a lot of my life, with the hopes that it would make me more whatever. I just, I don’t know how anyone can do it. I have such a hard time imagining not wanting to express yourself, or not having to fight against it, and so I’ve surrounded myself with people who are as loud and expressive and in sync with their own garbage as me, and it’s wonderful and lovely until I start craving novelty. I guess my phenotype is the one to blaze my own social path; to throw quiet and normal out the window and make a new normal, but it hurts when I like or love someone who rejects that. It’s weird, how love seems to work, and how it attracts us to people that we honestly can be incompatible with. It’s also weird to see someone who you know is too bogged down by their own perceptions of how a life should be ran that, despite them loving you back, they choose to be comfortable. I suppose I shouldn’t fault anyone for being comfortable, especially since that’s all I’m pursuing as well. Aaaanyway, I adore your song, and I adore your words, and it was recommended right when I needed a reminder that being “cool” isn’t necessary or even fun. It’s not worth it, not really. Thank you :)
I'm so glad I'm not crazy and everyone is talking about this being the same location as Harry Styles' new video. I INSTANTLY recognized it too. We're just a bunch of sneaky sleuths. Cheers everyone!
Ok so.... I think I’ve found them. www.asos.com/vero-moda/vero-moda-culottes-with-paper-bag-waist-and-belt-in-sage-green/prd/21151834 But that’s not quite the right shade of green anddddddd sadly, out of stock :(
OOF okay That ending tho! She slowly pushes every girl away in an attempt to be cool and different from them, and finally begins to put HERSELF down to be more palatable to whoever she's trying to win the affection of... but one of the other girls raises her arm, and dodie copies her-- because even though she says she doesnt want to be like them and has pushed them away, she really does.
i used to be a hardcore dodie fan in around 2015/2016 during her "my face" type songs if i remember correctly ( i hardly remember anything that happened a few years ago lol ) and i just got this in my recommended now that i'm fifteen, almost sixteen. dodie helped me come to terms with my depression, my anxiety, my sexuality, with myself in general, and she was also just a presence that made my day brighter everytime i watched one of her videos. and now to see her still making beautiful music, and thriving, is so wonderful. this song is really incredible and has such a great message behind it, and i'm about to go listen to it about twenty more times :))
Dodie, your music is sometimes my main source of comfort in a day. It keeps me company and gets me through. It makes me smile, laugh and cry and dance. Thank you endlessly for your vulnerability and honesty. You are a cool girl.
The way I interpret this song is as follows. It depicts the feelings one experiences when dating/seeing someone who doesn’t respond or match your emotional needs. It’s this constant worry of being annoying because you act out in the middle of the night for the attention your craving. It then expresses the subsequent pain and embarrassment you experience after you’ve ‘acted out’ - I think this is emphasized when dodie sings “chill out if it’s late, or every heavy sigh will seal a fate”. The choreography and the addition of the other girls is to highlight how each of us might experience similar feelings in our lifetime but we aren’t aware of how others around us might experience similar moments of desperation and delayed rejection. The beauty of them dancing similar but not the same is that each of them showcase their insecurities from past relationships differently and that factors into how they respond to manipulative situations.
Omg, goosebumps. That was just lovely. My favorite part was at 2:10 when you moved your hair "oh so easy" and, where ya'll start walking forward with the beat, AH, so cool.
Ugh I can't even explain how much I love it when art comes together like this!! The music, the lyrics, the lighting, the colors the movement, the list goes on. Every frame is like a painting or sculpture it's so beautiful. Seing it all together builds up this feeling in your tummy of emotion. I love it when art inspires more art. I watch this and I just want to creat
2:11-2:19 THE STORYTELLING OF THAT SHOT AND CHOREO ALONE IS JUST SO BRILLIANT AAAAAA I felt that in my soul qwq me marching alongside a bunch of well put together girls who are extroverted, pretty and sociable, while I'm barely put together, a bit slouchy, INTROVERTED, and asocial ;-;
it's soooo pretty --- and the color scheme is absolutely stunning --- and the dancers --- and the way they dance --- and the music --- and dodie, dodie, dodie
To me the dancing in the music video feels like Dodie is trying to fit in with all the other girls but she keeps getting distracted while dancing and looking a different direction or stops dancing but the lyrics I feel like she's trying to not Pine over someone again I love lyrical dancing this is absolutely gorgeous
I'm so overcome with emotion. Proudness, sadness, jealousy, joy, and everything in between. The opening shot made me think of how far she has come, and how much her artistry has grown since I started watching her as a young teen. She and her music has guided me through my youth to my young adulthood, and has shaped me so much as an artist myself. This song and this video captures so much emotion and representation, I just can't help but cry. I cannot wait for the album to come out.

That makes so much sense!! I was juggling between different interpretations but the "I'm not like other girls" take makes the most sense to me

To me it looked like she knocked all the other girls down and then went "what have I done? I'll fall down too then." You can put others down to build yourself up and be the "cool girl", but in the end you defined yourself by other people's expectations so you knocked yourself down too. The relationship you build based on being different isn't going to be a healthy one.

Awesome, thanks ♥️
Bless you
my brain so desperately wants there to be another syllable or two between, "surely you know", and, "to close them instead"
(Also, I finally listened to/tried to sing this a few times in the shower today, and I finally heard what, "asked", and "away", were; so then I suddenly understood, "I should know, I've been bored before", and DAMN)
I think it's "ask all your lovers to play" rather than "lovers away", and maybe "he'll be arsed till he's bored". Like can be bothered until he's bored
So incredibly excited :') who else has no problem staying hyped about this until March
basically this is the only thing to be hyped about until march

@@doddleoddle this was the best
she's so genuine with her own sound
That's so impressive! Congratulatios to this masterpiece!
There's such a strange tension between trying not to be like others but at the same time basing all your behavior off of them. It's brilliantly conveyed here.
I'm a dancer so I focused more on the dancing and it's just a beautiful choreography! it flows very easily and is mesmerizing to watch. it's not about tricks and showing off but about being in sync with the song and the vibe. great artistic choice!
same, i had trouble concentrating on the song because my brain said oooh let’s learn that dance
3:19 she breaks out of the crowd, looks proud in a childlike way, looking at the person whose approval she is seeking. when the camera zooms out again, i think it symbolized the temporary boost of attention fading, she looks disappointed in that same childlike way, as if subordinate to the person who she chases. when the camera leaves, she falls back into the dances she were trying to escape.
Definitely! That need for attention and the frustration of losing it and starting to “blend in” again.
holy shit this was so good
@Ted Wilson dodie fan
I would say it's fire but I found the girl quite cool
your just saying that because its true.... :p
hey evan 👋🏽
Right!👏
Damn! This was so great! Vibes on point, the song gave me chills, and the fact that you did it all in one take is so badass. Congrats!!!
i agree. this is a masterpiece
the choreography is gorg
Didn't even notice that * - *
I literally wrote something ao similar and then saw your comment. One wavelength 😋🦋
So dodie asked on Instagram how we interpret the song and I wanted to add.
dodie's narrative voice is preoccupied with the discussion of broken promises of the past, and the redundant desires to make them again. From 'you didn't call me back' to 'I'll be different' the narrative voice is splintered between past and future, thematically reminiscent of When.
I love the contrast of the line 'I'll be different' with the cyclical use of the line in each chorus. The promise to change is encased into the most repetitive structure of the song showing the misplaced determination of the speaker. The music video visually echos this by placing dodie in the same place and position at the start and end of the video. This song is a cycle. This pain can't be cured until dodie grounds the speaker in their own present needs. This relationship promises to adapt but only leaves the character wallowing in self induced pathos.
Applying this to real life, I feel like this song can be such a wake up call for everybody including myself. We can never truly live life authentically until we stop comparing ourselves to others and what we 'could be' or 'used to be'. We need to start living in the now to be happy!
oh damn
i didn't even notice this tbh but ur so right
@@doddleoddle I'm an English student so I love discussing this sort of stuff. My teacher would disown me if I don't talk about narrative voice, structure and intent

*Everyone's giving all these smart cool interpretations, whereas I'm just excited for dodie that she gets to dance somewhere other than her flat* 😂✨
3:20 this part really struck me and its when the entirety of the choreography’s meaning fell into place. as the other girls continue dancing dodie sings “i wont be like them” and distances herself from the group. but at the end shes in the same position as before. women so often try and ostracize themselves, whether intentionally or not in order to seek out approval. there are moments where they all blend back together, and the end particularly struck me because they end in the same spots as they began. womanhood is a cycle and societally, it cannot be escaped. they will always be perceived the same. small ‘outbursts’ like this for a lack of better terminology are extremely liberating and limiting simultaneously. oof that was a whole essay lol beautiful job dodes.
EDIT: looking back at the part i timestamped i also noticed how her expression changes. when she first steps out of the crowd she looks very proud and defiant, but the camera refuses in that moment to let her have the center stage again and as she becomes smaller, her face falls and it looks almost as if shes forced or pulled back into the same choreography. GOD i just watched this and i already want to go on about it for ages.
You described it soo beautifully 😱❤️❤️❤️
Beautifully said. It definitely points to the ways we isolate ourselves by trying to be “different” only to be acceptable and accepted in someone else’s eyes. In the end, just as much of a game and performance as any other. I also think there’s something beautifully human in that truth, though, which is that at the end of the day we’re all seeking the same thing, to be loved and accepted for who we are. And we’ll contort into all kinds of knots trying to get it.
[ Lemme modify my comment...]
Actually she never did exactly like everybody else. She always slightly missed some moves, but the more the chore goes on, the more it is difficult for her to blend with the others.
Walking is very natural move while they're all keeping the dancing, even out of the chorus line, she doesn't. (she refuses?) So when the chorus comes back, they've all gained in grace and even teamed up.
She didn't, and she doen't naturally blend with the others anymore. she can't jump, or spin like a ballerina and basically did and feel excluded from the group. (In contrast to the begining when she was surrounded and much happier)
Now, she knows old moves, but she doesn't share anything with the others anymore. All she can do is trying to mimic.
Voila :)
I see with variations throught all the peoples represented here : a struggle to be oneself.
End.
@@black_swanN I really like this interpretation.
Gosh, I love your interpretation!
dodie, you really are such an inspiration not only musically, but just as a woman and how you have matured and persevered in life. Whether or not you realize it, you have helped me and many many others feel recognized, and understood for things that are difficult to explain, process, and understand.

oh my god aryy i was literally listening to your song "Creep" by radiohead before this!! ily
"Dodie, don't lip sync for this song" Dodie: can't help but to sing along
Honestly I think the subtle mouthing along was a really cool touch. The song itself seems to function as a stream of consciousness throughout, a voice to all the women in the room, but only Dodie is breaking pattern and beginning to figure out and voice that thought process.
AMAZING video!

OMG THEY HAVE COLOR COORDINATED SOCKS!!!!!!!!!
that’s cause they’re all cool girls.
OH MY GOD THEY DO THANK YOU FOR MAKING ME NOTICE :DDD
The sequences where everyone is dancing at the same time and the build up to the ending of the song when Dodie knocks them down was mesmerizing. I was just thinking about how hideous it feels to fight yourself to be what society want and in the process you are putting other women down. Even when we all are in the same dance doing the same things.

IM HIGH ON ANESTHESIA RN FROM MY WISDOM TEETH REMOVAL AND THIS IS FCKING EVERYTHINGGGGGGG THERE ARE TEARS STREAMING DOWN MY FACE I LOVE YOU DODIE
Omg wow
@@doddleoddle omgomgomg I'm not high anymore LOL I don't even remember writing that but it is 2000% true
I'm not high but I am still crying.
there is something so beautiful about the sisterhood women share.. knowing we all feel insecurities, feel like we're too much, that we need to water ourselves down to be acceptable and "easy". dodie's music is so empathetic and her music videos are so empowering. her art is so warm and comforting. i love this, dodie, well done
I love how she tries to be “not like the other girls” but ends up doing something similar anyways because no girl is really “not like other girls”
i love how in contrast to human you’re not constructing someone else to fit you, you’re trying to construct yourself. the variations of you are how you want to be perceived, perhaps by others, or how you want to perceive yourself. maybe it’s like 6/10 with comparison to others or maybe it’s about self love and growing but struggling to do so because how could you possibly fit all these ”cool girls” into a single cool girl. how you all move together but you separate yourself from the others maybe trying to be different and be your own cool girl but then you’re absorbed back into how others perceive you which leads you to feel isolated because you’re not presenting yourself simply another variation of this cool girl. and the ending could be how you detach yourself from it because you don’t feel truthful to who you are portraying to others- and that’s my really bad analysis of it hehehe
omg looking over it there’s so many errors and a bit is badly worded i hope you get my meaning though!

@@CloudHopper789 that’s a good name. could be interpreted as the noun or as short for arthur, etc. good vibes, not fully clockable if that’s a concern for you. i dig it as a neutral or leaning either way name

As an artist I really appreciate that stuff
I don't usually watch music videos a lot, but I've watched this one so many times already. It's all so perfectly beautifully done, the song and choreography just goes so well together. Kudos to everyone invovled.
‘i would know, i’ve been bored before’ is such an unexpected, honest line. we’ve been hurt and we hurt others. we’re all messy humans.
Look how Dodie is alone in the beginning and then she goes to the other girls. In my opinion the other girls are the "cool girls" different from what Dodie is when she is herself. Also notice that she is barely in coordination with them like she is either before or after. Sometimes her moves dont even match with them. It's like she is trying so hard to fit in but she can't. But then again she's been through all of that after which she swore she wouldnt play the same old game which is why she keeps stopping and walks away. But then she looks at the camera giving it somewhat a sardonic smile, walks a bit and smiles again before going back with them. It's like she is doing this to please someone and this someone here might be represented by the camera. She stops and continues repeatedly, trying to blend in but then remembering that she's been there before but then trying to please someone again. She goes lying again with them blending in. But then she realises how much she had hurt everyone around her and realises she doesn't fit in with them and goes back sitting alone where she first was. She looks at the camera calmly, unbothered of what they think, since she is different and not like them but not difficult. But what she doesnt seem to notice is that everyone is different too. Like no one has been in coordination perfectly all the time as such and yet it's as if Dodie fails to see it. For e.g the girl shown at 0:34 in the beginning is alone in her corner too. Or at 2:21 there's someone else beside her trying to catch up with her, trying to fit in too but Dodie is too blinded by the person(s)/here represented by the camera as I said before. It happens also time where they are doing mismatched/contradictory moves but Dodie doesnt pay notice, her attention focused on the camera.
there's no way to be "wrong" this is an interpretation !! well said, btw.
quite a *cough* cool *cough* way to see it...

AGGHHHHHH DODIE IM LITERALLY CRYING AND IT HASNT EVEN STARTED YET
never been more excited to not pay attention to a class than i am right now
Same my notes will stay only half finished
Hi dodie! I don’t know if you’ll ever see this, but i can’t believe how much this hit me. I’m loud and angsty and hyper and big all the time, and when I like someone, I want to be the universe for them and make everything and anything possible, including if they don’t want me to be me. I’ve fought against my own desire to speak and act for a lot of my life, with the hopes that it would make me more whatever. I just, I don’t know how anyone can do it. I have such a hard time imagining not wanting to express yourself, or not having to fight against it, and so I’ve surrounded myself with people who are as loud and expressive and in sync with their own garbage as me, and it’s wonderful and lovely until I start craving novelty. I guess my phenotype is the one to blaze my own social path; to throw quiet and normal out the window and make a new normal, but it hurts when I like or love someone who rejects that. It’s weird, how love seems to work, and how it attracts us to people that we honestly can be incompatible with. It’s also weird to see someone who you know is too bogged down by their own perceptions of how a life should be ran that, despite them loving you back, they choose to be comfortable. I suppose I shouldn’t fault anyone for being comfortable, especially since that’s all I’m pursuing as well.
Aaaanyway, I adore your song, and I adore your words, and it was recommended right when I needed a reminder that being “cool” isn’t necessary or even fun. It’s not worth it, not really.
Thank you :)
I'm so glad I'm not crazy and everyone is talking about this being the same location as Harry Styles' new video. I INSTANTLY recognized it too. We're just a bunch of sneaky sleuths. Cheers everyone!

I’m all choked up. Goosebumps galore. Just gorgeous.
OOF okay That ending tho! She slowly pushes every girl away in an attempt to be cool and different from them, and finally begins to put HERSELF down to be more palatable to whoever she's trying to win the affection of... but one of the other girls raises her arm, and dodie copies her-- because even though she says she doesnt want to be like them and has pushed them away, she really does.
never realized how much i would be affected by dodie walking towards me on beat
Geez. Same 😂
My favourite song from the new ALOSIA, and the new album so far 🥰
I CANNOT wait for March 5th :))
I love how fluid everyone's movements are! There's so much character in every person's dancing, you're all telling stories and I love it so much!
i used to be a hardcore dodie fan in around 2015/2016 during her "my face" type songs if i remember correctly ( i hardly remember anything that happened a few years ago lol ) and i just got this in my recommended now that i'm fifteen, almost sixteen. dodie helped me come to terms with my depression, my anxiety, my sexuality, with myself in general, and she was also just a presence that made my day brighter everytime i watched one of her videos. and now to see her still making beautiful music, and thriving, is so wonderful. this song is really incredible and has such a great message behind it, and i'm about to go listen to it about twenty more times :))
The place and filter give some nostalgic vintage vibes.
Dodie, your music is sometimes my main source of comfort in a day. It keeps me company and gets me through. It makes me smile, laugh and cry and dance. Thank you endlessly for your vulnerability and honesty. You are a cool girl.
aah i already know this is gonna be amazing i can FEEL it
edit: i can't even describe how incredibly good this is... i am so proud
let's just take a moment to appreciate the therapy session that took place in the live chat. it was wholesome.
i remember you from the live chat !! and yes :') this fandom is the best
The way I interpret this song is as follows.
It depicts the feelings one experiences when dating/seeing someone who doesn’t respond or match your emotional needs. It’s this constant worry of being annoying because you act out in the middle of the night for the attention your craving. It then expresses the subsequent pain and embarrassment you experience after you’ve ‘acted out’ - I think this is emphasized when dodie sings “chill out if it’s late, or every heavy sigh will seal a fate”.
The choreography and the addition of the other girls is to highlight how each of us might experience similar feelings in our lifetime but we aren’t aware of how others around us might experience similar moments of desperation and delayed rejection. The beauty of them dancing similar but not the same is that each of them showcase their insecurities from past relationships differently and that factors into how they respond to manipulative situations.
Omg, goosebumps. That was just lovely. My favorite part was at 2:10 when you moved your hair "oh so easy" and, where ya'll start walking forward with the beat, AH, so cool.
THE POWER THAT WALKING SECTION HAD !also did anyone else love the bi little top big pants thing ? THANK YKU DODIE!
This is the comment I was looking for! That synced walking floored me, and I am in love with the way they are dressed.
Did anyone notice the pose from the “cool girl” single cover art at around 2:06? So cool 😩
omg i hadn't noticed !! thats so cool lol
Yes, I noticed!!!
Ugh I can't even explain how much I love it when art comes together like this!!
The music, the lyrics, the lighting, the colors the movement, the list goes on. Every frame is like a painting or sculpture it's so beautiful.
Seing it all together builds up this feeling in your tummy of emotion. I love it when art inspires more art. I watch this and I just want to creat
2:11-2:19 THE STORYTELLING OF THAT SHOT AND CHOREO ALONE IS JUST SO BRILLIANT AAAAAA

Came back to this video after watching Harry Style's As It Was - am I imagining it or is it filmed in the same place?
UBER EXCITED! I literally haven't stopped listening to this since it came out ✨
To me the dancing in the music video feels like Dodie is trying to fit in with all the other girls but she keeps getting distracted while dancing and looking a different direction or stops dancing but the lyrics I feel like she's trying to not Pine over someone again I love lyrical dancing this is absolutely gorgeous
Your voice makes me feel some kind of way.
I don't think i can explain.
I'm so overcome with emotion. Proudness, sadness, jealousy, joy, and everything in between. The opening shot made me think of how far she has come, and how much her artistry has grown since I started watching her as a young teen. She and her music has guided me through my youth to my young adulthood, and has shaped me so much as an artist myself. This song and this video captures so much emotion and representation, I just can't help but cry. I cannot wait for the album to come out.
This isn't just a music video, it's a whole masterpiece
