I knew you once
And it was nice
I knew your brain and your heart
All your insides
Oh I could tell
Just with a look
What you were thinking
That's all it took
You shared your secrets
And I shared mine
Silence was comfy
Without having to try
We swapped our smiles
Gifted advice
Yes, I knew you once
And it was nice.
She was toxic. I couldn't be friends or speak to her anymore. but I knew her once, and it was nice.
Sarah Dickie I know how you feel (:

I wanna cry
Maya Joy crap.

Dear Ella,
I knew you once. Do you remember being friends? Do you remember skating together at the arena everyday? Do you remember sleeping over, and putting so much ketchup on your grilled cheese that you couldn't see the plate? And then do you remember moving away? I started to think about you less, but sometimes my mom would bring you up and we would laugh about all the fun we had. Six years later I met a girl with the same name. We became friends. Can you believe it took us two months to realize we knew each other all along?
I'm so glad I met you again. I'm so glad that we can talk openly about how we feel, and understand each others emotions. This will probably get lost in the ocean of comments, but Ella;
I knew you once. And it was nice. I know you now too. And that's even better.
Claire Le Donne THIS IS GREAT

When you are going to a different high school from your best friends that you have been in the same class with for seven years but still staying strong.
I watched this video and balled my eyes out
Poppy Samson Aww I hope you keep in touch with them. And if that doesn't happen then I hope you find more friends😁
Amy Winn thank you 😊

derpydanhowell meeeeeee
derpydanhowell this is on a fcuking tenor I think otherwise I'd have them by now rip
edit: **baritone not tenor omg
derpydanhowell same and im not even half way thru listening
derpydanhowell me toooo, I'm trying to figure them out but I'm so sucks at figuring out ukulele chords! I know I played all of those chords before but I don't know what they're called!
derpydanhowell pretty sure the only chords are G, D and A but not in that order it changes around a bit so you can probably tell by ear which order to play them
i knew u once
i knew u twice
but love aint cool

@@trangha3904 most everything is easier than love, isnt it? but its worth it.
Keith Brown
thank you for replying to me. its like a reminder how sad and frustrated i was 9 months ago lol. i dont exactly remember what happened to me at that moment, but now im much better, much much better. its not like things finally easier for me and get into places but i feel so grateful to live and experience life.
Also i found someone who adores me and we care for eachother and i know it sounds cliche but we didnt really clicked right when we met but now he is the best person i’ve ever met. he still has flaws - not like i see him in a perfecto way or anything. but we grow together and we learn to embrace out flaws one by one.
idk how this turns to a rant but
yes it does hurt. but thats how we learn to heal. Now im like, 100% heal lol see you i got from the bottom
let the rain a reminder to us how flowers bloom.
and its a journey, too. you’ll find love along the ways where you go.
and its beautiful. thank u my dumb past self and thank you everyone. thats the end of my ted talk.
i hope you find love right where you are btw. it may sound bullshit but when you finally tune in with yourself you’ll see life so much more meaningful.
@@trangha3904 would love to hear an update from you rn
@@carseatneedssrest woah. thank you for replying to my comment. I remember the last time I was here. 9 other months have passed. I’ve been through quite a few things and also I am still with my boyfriend! I’m only 18 so I know I havent experience life enough. but ever since I keep a grateful attitude to life things are a lot easier to handle.
Basically bad things doesnt stop coming to me, eventually I realize that its not about the “thing”. But its all about the way we think about it. If we think about it as good, then it is good, if we think about it as bad or horrible, then its just that horrible. It sounds bullshit at first but it really is.
When I wrote the very first reply to this comment, I never knew I would come this far. At that time I was heart broken, and felt like there were no one that wants to be with me.
Now, though Im not heart broken anymore :), but I know even if I broke up with this boy Im dating right now, eventually I’ll still be fine, it may hurt a lil bit at first, but things would come in place still. I know that before I love anyone else, I need to respect myself first.
Okay so thats enough about my love life lol. Idk how to portray it, but to anyone who reads my comment, I hope you found love in yourself.
The next thing is, I’ve learnt that I need to control my feelings. I imagine the anger feeling in me as a monster, the more I try to tame it, like hitting it or trying to cut its head off, the more things wont work out. Instead I’ve learnt that the best way to do this is to live with it, to gain repect from it, to tell it, gentlely, that I am the one who in charge of things, not it. I was a short-tempered person, and now I still am, but Im on a journey to not be like that anymore =))
The third is, I learnt that criticizing, judging, bashing, or any of that kind, is not okay to do. I read about this from Dale Carnegie.
The fourth, I think I would tell strangers on the internet about my life. I’ve just spent nearly a month in the hospital to take care of my mom. She had to cut off completely her uterus because of uterine fibroids. There were moments that we felt miserable and hopeless, but now she’s recovering and we’re back to our home. We watch Kdramas and have a lot of laugh together. I recommend watching Reply 1988, its a very good series.
Also Im not getting well with my dad. My parents divorced 5 years ago but now he still talking and be all spicy about it. I would not say he’s a narcicist but he can always throw a tantrum for know reasons at all. He doesnt know this but once I went to college, I want to get as far as possible from him. But thats my secret, I know that thats a bad thing to do and its likely that I would never do that or have the audacity t do it. But still, I hate and love my dad at the same time.
Kay so I’ve learnt a lot. And I dont think anyone would read this comment, since its pretty long and its not really interesting to read. I recommend these youtube chanels:
Ana Psychology
Lana Blakely
I learnt a lot from these two girls.
Im sorry for my broken English and if anyone really read the comment till the end, I want you to know that I really appreciate it! :)
If you need anyone to talk to, I promise you can find me as I will listen. Provided that you promise not to send dick pics or want to scam me.
Have a nice day! And wear masks!
i knew him once. he was the closest thing i had to a best friend for around two years. secrets shared, stupid jokes and people against us. the “anti skylar association.” that one kid who’s a furry now. all the times i died in a video game, yelling at him to avenge me. the plans we made for the future. funny, we were just kids. we had no clue what we were doing, but we were happy. i left eventually. i was *forced* to leave. we stopped talking. we would maybe chat here and there, but fast forward about 3 years later and here we are. together. and i love him. he’s everything to me, really.
i knew him once. and it was nice.
i know him now. it’s even better.
Aww! This is such a sweet story!
why am i crying

**Just some person who can REALLY, REALLY relate to this song**
edit,, holy crap thank you for 2.9 likes hot damn jeepers
•Clodistic • Same
Same, just had a lengthy convo with someone yesterday at a pretty isolated place and she said we had comfortable silences, and we shared our secrets, and I was screaming all the way as I listened to this song
This reminds me of an old friend I had. Last we became really close and I loved him more than a friend for years and I told him I like him and he didn't like me back. About a month later for some stupid reason I ask him why he didn't like me and he said everything . Ever since he's been a total joke . I've cried the other night because I was at a party and I wanted to kiss him but my brain was saying he hated me and I started breaking down. Sorry about the long rant
Same all though not really that sad about that, they weren't the bested person to have in my life at the time but they are probably better now 😊
me too.. my boyfriend and I broke up awhile ago... it was nice. but now he acts like it didn't happen.... now he just joins everyone else and makes fun of me for being gay..im not even gay im pansexual but whatever.. (woop) sorry for ranting lol
I love how Dodie’s songs can relate to all situations, I will be singing this song at my grandpas funeral. He was like my dad
Yeah, I agree. I hope you’re good now, but I just thought I’d comment because I haven’t met anyone else named Laney! And spelled the same way too. I listen to this whenever I start to miss my friend who moved a couple years ago, we were best friends, he still visits every once and a while, I hope he’s doing okay.
This song sounds like a love letter to lost friends- you make peace with the fact that you’ll probably never meet again, that you still miss them, but that you were happy while together and that that’s worth remembering fondly
I love the humming
Tessa Violet so satisfying. Almost felt it vibrating in my chest haha
Tessa Violet hmm wonder who did that magnificent humming?
Tessa Violet Agreed! For me, it gives the song an almost funeral/memorial feeling to it (which sounds bad to describe that way but is actually feels really comforting in its closure, like rain when you come home or hot tea with tears).
I don't know what I'm saying anymore but YE like THAT. God, I needed this.
Tessa Violet oh hey tessa
oh hi there
How does dodie know exactly what is going on in my life.
Magic~
Abbey Curtiss It's called relatable music.
Abbey Curtiss YES OMG
Abbey Curtiss HONESTLY THO (her songs are just so *jon voice* hashmark real and she makes all the angsty teens feel validated whOO)
I'm not sure if I should laugh or cry because this is exactly how I feel and Dodie is the only one who can put it in words
Not something one should be listening to when missing someone... *sigh*
to all the best friends who are now strangers. you'll always be a part of me
This song came out 2 days after my best friend passed away in a car accident. I know it's a little bit different interpretation of the song but it really helped me figure out my feelings and now I look at the song in a more positive light. I knew him once. It was nice.
Oh im so sorry i hope your okay
💕
I'm so sorry xx
I am so sorry for your loss :(
im so sorry :(
This feels like the sad epilogue to Intertwined
Juce oh fuck why would you say that
Juce well this comment just fucked me up arGH
well crap-ah-doodley-doo why would you doodley say that
I love how some of Dodie's songs go in series though! like absolutely smitten to permanent hug from you to sick of losing soulmates, etc.
that makes a lot of sense and it makes Intertwined a lot more bittersweet
did anyone else notice she was about to cry
Becky BOSS yes
Maybe she was thinking about paint. 😕
She's so emotional TvT
As a poet who often cries after writing poetry, I say this is expectable
No
i see other people doing this, so i thought i’d give it a try. here goes.
dear anna,
i knew you once, in sixth grade to be exact. i remember having sleepovers and staying up late without our parents knowing, just texting and talking. i remember you comforting me through facetime when fights would break out, and me comforting you when things would happen. we had one year. one year of silly nicknames and crazy experiences, but then it all ended. we drew farther apart, you wanted to be with the “cool kids”. you wanted to be popular. so, you ditched me and all my friends. you left me in the dust for the popular crowd. now we’re in high school, we haven’t talked in two years. we avoid each other, rarely make eye contact. so yeah, i knew you once.
I'm listening to this with a huge mug of tea.. this is good. Yes. Good
Betsy Goodfellow so am I. this is my second tea today I i think i'm addicted to it
Betsy Goodfellow Omg same
Like I could just have an hour of dodie singing
A cup of tea and a blanket and I'd be happy
I was just thinking about how nice it would be to listen with a cup of tea hah :)
Betsy Goodfellow I'm sitting at my windowsill while it rains and I'm gonna go make some hot chocolate... I couldn't be more content with life rn
That was so cute at the beginning how Dodie pointed at her decorations like she was so proud 😂 :)
carlie puma awww
LIGHT!
carlie puma "light"
carlie puma LIGHT!!!
"Oh-deeya"
lost someone i loved with all my heart, and this was the last song we listened to together. I am still heartbroken.
biancalankasings I’m sorry. I know you only posted this a few months ago but I hope ur doing better now
I hope you’re doing better boo
Same here I hope your feeling better
I want this to be on a new EP so bad :)
Mia Rose me too omfg
Ikr!
this didnt age well
"silence was comfy, without having to try"
honestly if u find anyone like this (which is so rare) , they're someone you want to be with, for life.
Ruby Reloaded Sometimes it leads to regret. The silence had been comfy once.
i cried for hoyrs after listening to this the guy who i used to swap smiles with used to have comfy silence and used to know. bailed and broke me and know all i have it broken smiles awkward noise and a stranger
they gone.
Now its gone
I wish it could've lasted...
I recently lost touch with a friend of over 10 years, this hit close to home
sketcheton I'm so sorry. That could be hard to lose someone so close and you've known for so long.
sketcheton I know how you're feeling. I am in a very similar situation. I'm sorry.
I'm going through some friendship struggles right now too it's tough
sketcheton same kinda hurts to think about for me in fact
me too, sending love, as its pretty crap x
me: oh man, everything that comes from Dodie's mouth sounds so good
dodie: *sneezes*
me: beautiful.
I knew a boy once...He was my best friend, and I loved him. I really, truly loved him. I saw myself marrying this boy, and living together. But sadly, he didn't feel the same. So as time passed, I fell less and less out of love with him romantically. I started to love him in a different type of way that I can't really describe. If you had a soulmate for a friend, he was mine. He was my friend soulmate. He was kind, he was stubborn, he was funny, he was talented, he was anxious and depressed, he was a boy who didn't feel like his light was bright enough in a world of dark. But I knew better; he was a ball of light in my darkest days. However, as time went on, we got into more fights...We faced harder challenges...We didn't talk as much...We along with our chorus went to Rome, and I told him the truth about our so called 'friends' and how they had been bullying me subtly for the past year. He told me to talk to them. I said no, because it wasn't worth it. Eventually after him saying he would take care of things if they went badly, I did. Those 'friends' attacked me in ways that didn't wave bruises on my body, but scars in my heart. I told him what happened. He broke his word, and didn't say or do anything...He was a boy who didn't like making decisions. He was a boy who didn't know how to be mature and chose when to do the right thing. He was my best friend, and I wanted him to stand up for me or at least acknowledge what they did was wrong. He did neither. He was a boy who I screamed and cried over, because no matter what I said, it was somehow my fault and he was the victim. He had a choice to make. Either fight for me and tell them what they did was wrong, or lose me. He was a boy who had to make a choice, and he didn't like the outcomes of either choice. So I made the decision for him, and I left that kind, stubborn boy. I knew him once, and we told each other everything. Now, I just watch him laugh and smile with those who were cruel to me, and try to hide the tears.
What I went through is nowhere near as horrible as this, but I had a friend who was a boy and we talked through Snapchat but never in person, he went to my school. He wasn't nice. Not in person, my friends and everyone hated him. He wasn't popular, he wasn't funny. He was mean and inconsiderate. But when it was just me and him, I don't know, it was different. He likes me, a lot, or liked me, but I can't be with someone like him and he makes these promises that he'll be different, nicer, kinder, more like him.
But these promises never happen, we don't talk any more, he's talking to another girl now, and they're serious.
It felt like this song describes, I've told him things not even closest friends know, and I've trusted him. He trusted me too, I was never looking for a relationship, I turned him down but we both know that we were always more than friends.
I don't know. It's been difficult, my friends don't know, and wouldn't understand.
I think I loved him.
Book queen
I'm so sorry that happened to you hun...I completely understand what you mean, him being a different person around you compared to when he's around others. It feels like you don't know which is the real person. But regardless, I'm sorry that this was the result and that you put a lot of trust in him. But at least it's an experience. Hopefully you'll find someone who is even more comforting and nice, and you'll have a closer friendship with them even compared to this one.
I am so sorry that you had to deal with a betrayal of that degree... I went through a pain similar, but I would say yours probably left more scars than mine did. I had a dear friend that I trusted my whole world with. I looked up to her more than nearly anyone and, at the time, I could never imagine my life without her. She was quirky and gruff but always knew when I needed to be loved on or when I needed to laugh. She made decisions that seemed to hurt her in the long run, but we could always share our troubles and mistakes with one another. I loved her. Even if it was not a romantic love, I loved her with my whole heart nonetheless... Unfortunately, I found out that my love was not enough for her. I found out she held feelings within her aching heart that I just didn't return. Instead of talking to me, telling me those words to my face, she found someone else who could love her in the way she felt she needed and allowed herself to be swept away with them, leaving me in the dark as if I was nothing.
I reached out to her a multitude of times, trying so hard to ignore the fact that she was abandoning me. This girl, who had brought me to believe for a time that my feelings were validated to a certain degree and that someone cared about my wellbeing, spoke to me as if I never meant anything to her... Instead of standing up to me and declaring her reasons for breaking our friendship, she dissipated completely from my life without a single word. The only traces she left were the small bits of memories in the mementos she left with me and the ache I feel in my heart that I mask with rage when I see her. The agonizing pain I still feel within the depths of my being when I catch her eyes randomly when in town to only see the look of someone who has laid eyes upon the last person they would ever want to see. I can still remember the times she looked at me with this light within her eyes like I was one of the few things that brightened her day... Where did that light go? Where did our light go? I wondered for so long of what I did to ruin our friendship. It took me even longer to realize that it never truly was my fault because the thought that she left purely on her own accord instead of me pushing her to the edge hurt all the more.
With all of that dramatic dialogue put out there, I just noticed your comment on this beautiful song and saw myself relating quite a bit. I am not one to just write out difficult stages of my life like this out for the whole world to see through a screen, but your comment inspired me to kind of think back to those memories and allow myself to feel the sorrow instead of pushing myself to be so angry about it to mask the pain. What your friend did was truly horrible. If you claim to love someone as dearly as he seemed to towards you, I believe that he should have stayed by your side or tried to talk to those 'friends' of his about it if he needed proof of his own to truly believe that they committed this act of damaging behavior. I am so sorry that you have to feel that heartache and that you have to keep those memories of betrayal with you. I can bring myself to understand how hard it is to trust after something like that... And, if this whole big thing is unnecessary and just kinda dramatic, I'm so sorry! I just felt the need to personally let you know that, no matter how alone or hurt you may feel with the world around you, the world is so much bigger than we all make it out to be and it is filled with people who may come close to understanding our pains. The community that Dodie's music has created is a perfect example of that! If you read all of this, thank you so much and you totally deserve a medal for reading all the way through this! XD
Gretchen Schneider
I'm so sorry you went through this...It's agonizing to watch the one person you trust with everything walk away, and look at you like you're nobody. You can't help but think 'Hey don't you have these memories too?' I know how that feels completely...I also tried to reach out to him, but I realized that he would never change no matter how much I wanted him to. He made me feel important, and I know she made you feel important as well. That can be hard to deal with; having to get used to not having that person in your life. What I wrote happened three months ago, and while I'm still grieving, time does heal things...That's all I have left of him as well, memories. I can't bring myself to get rid of the pictures we took together, or the gifts he got me, and I wonder if he still has the things I got for him. I don't see him anymore, I can't even check to see if he's okay because his mom blocked me on her Facebook. I can't see how he is or anything of the sorts...I'm sorry that you still see her every now and then, as seeing a person just...Almost makes things worse in a way. I remember being the person he would always talk to no matter what, and how he would tell me his past. There are a lot of things I still remember despite the time that's passed by. It took me a while for me to realize that it wasn't my fault as well. Some people are leaves in our lives, some are branches, and some are roots. I was hoping he would be a root, and I know that you hoped she would be one for you. Life doesn't work that way sadly-although we wish it did. I'm so sorry that you've gone through something similar to my situation, and that you're going through so much pain. But what I can promise you is that time will heal the pain you're going through. Trust won't come as easily to others, but I promise that life has something better for you (as cliche and cheesy as that is) I'm happy to know that my story got you to embrace what you're feeling-trust me, I sometimes mask what I'm truly feeling with happiness, saying that I'm fine all the time. What your friend did was awful, and again I am so sorry that you had to deal with this pain. I know those memories still hurt you, and I'm sorry that the pain hasn't eased yet. Also, no need to apologize hun! I'm happy that you shared your story with me and the rest of the comments. Sometimes it's good to let that sort of thing out in the end. The same goes to you; this world is absolutely amazing and big, and there are plenty of people who will accept you just the way you are, and will love you. I'm sorry you're in pain right now, but I promise that with time it will come to pass.
The last line sums up my life
its funny how such a simple and short song can make you cry so hard isn't it?
Kimmy P thats the power of dodies music :)

Laura, I knew you once, and it was nice... until it wasn’t.
We were best friends, ones who shared not only a birthday, but our lives. We grew up together, and we helped make each other the people we are today.
We were practically glued at the hip for eight years, but after five of those fun filled years, I noticed how we didn’t have the same friendship as all the other kids. Other best friends were equals, and they had balance, but in just second grade, I was forced to evaluate our friendship. I saw that I was always giving while you only took.
Over time I gave up more and more important parts of myself; my independence, my freedom of speech, my opinions, my knowledge, my confidence... my freedom. You talked me down and I would just build you up more. I gave you kindness, companionship, mandatory gifts, and too much of my time, while you presented me with self doubt, loathing, and pressure. Pressure to dress and act differently to satisfy your twisted idealism. I changed myself for you.
By fourth grade, I knew that things needed to change. I strived to confront our toxic relationship, but I was met with turning tables, hurt, and false accusations. I finally admitted to myself that I was no longer loyal to you, that I hated you.
Now that I finally knew it, fifth grade was torture. From simply faking my agreement on your heartless opinions, to the time you physically backed me into a corner and tried to make me feel ashamed of who I was. Who I still am.
I got lucky when our paths split in middle school, and I tried my hardest to forget those eight years, but I soon came to the realization that I wouldn’t change them. Your negativity may have left me with depression, and my own blood on my hands, but you also ensured that I never treated anyone the way you treated me. To this day, I apologize for things I didn’t do, simply because I can’t stand the thought of making anyone as miserable as you made me.
I knew you once, Laura, but it took me a bit to learn more about you and who you truly are. Now, many years later, you still don’t know how I feel about you, but you don’t need to; I’m done wasting tears on the ‘best friend’ I thought I knew.
omg. I'm not that Laura, but I'm crying so much 😭
Frick u Laura. Hope everything gets better gray anomynous
4 years later and this song is still so relatable and makes me want to cry
even your sneeze was cute asdfghjkl
Kyle Denney scary but cute
Kyle Denney It made me sneeze too. That was obscure...^^

ikr
Dodie stop, I don't have any what are you doing to me
(You can ignore this, sorry)
-
I know that she won’t see this and I usually never ever comment these things, but Jordan. You were the best friend I could have ever had the opportunity to have met. You lived in Fort Lauderdale and was my neighbor when we were younger. I can’t get that image of you dancing in the sun showers one beautiful warm morning out of my head. It was the first time I saw rain and sun together and you fit so perfectly with it all. Every time I think of sun showers I think of you. You were so aware and intelligent and such an incredible ballet dancer. So blessed to be yourself, you were so mellow and just melted like the perfect smear of paint in a sunset. You were perfect in my young eyes. I don’t know who you are anymore but I hope if I see you again you’ll be the warm wonderful person you were. Thank you for the moments we shared playing pretend in a blindly perfect childhood world. I went to visit your house last summer, but you had moved out. It looked like the life torn from it and it was just some other beige house on the street. The same road I stood barefoot on with you as I watched you spin and twirl and dance was all gone but still scary to think it’s all there. It happened and it happened there. Just in another world and lost in time and our minds. I hope to talk to you soon if time gifts us that.
Precisely A Mess that made me cry it's so sweet but sad
My heart is aching for you
Wow
wow. i’m gonna cry this is so beautifully written and my heart aches for you.
you are the floridian hurricane called Poet, you and this song. i hope your bittersweet has found its place.
Okay and know I’m crying because this is exactly something that happened to me omg
BEFORE THE VIDEO STARTED I GOT A COMMERCIAL FOR ALLEGRA AND THERE WERE LIKE 40 SNEEZES AND THEN SHE SNEEZED AFTER THE AD
that's hilarious
Lauraaa your the only person that has a funny comment 😂🤣👌🏼😂🤣
i knew a girl once and she was amazing. now she's just a stranger. and even if it has been some time since i realized that she has changed, it still hurts.
i miss my fucking best friend
sally b I get it😭Don’t worry you’re not alone
We’re here for you, love. I miss my best friends too.
omg... I read your comment as if it was exactly what I was thinking
sally b same 😭😭😭
sally b same it's a hard life
dodie, as usual, your music connects with me.
i had a friend who i unfortunately had to stop talking to in december. i'm devastated.
i miss her more than anything in the world. she was my She. i love her and would do absolutely anything for her. i hope oneday she can be in my life again.
i knew her once, and it was nice.
such an underrated song!!!!
lowhums IM crying that's so true
I swear dodie could probably write a song about murder and I'd still get excited
Mia Voodoo same
Mia Voodoo why is this me
As long as it was on her snap chat
"Silence was comfy
Without having to try"
I love that lyric.
i knew her once.
she hasn’t changed a lot, I still love her (best friend) a lot. But she just has other friends and I’m happy for her and I don’t want be jealous but she always drags them into what we do and will always stop me from being the chaotic person I am. It sucks. I suck for feeling this freaking way
I legit said "Bless you" when Dodie sneezed. What is my life?😂
aww
kellie ward low-key same lmao. I was listening to it out loud and drawing and i wasn't paying attention so it was like a reflex and then I was like wait what

loved this so much dodie
FAVES OMF YESSSSSSS DO A COLLAB
Nicole Zefanya while watching, the lyrics on screen reminded me of you ;D
i knew you once...but now you’re a stranger with all my secrets.
I knew you once. You had a weird name that I remembered the first time you told me, which doesn't happen often.
You were one of the few people who could handle me, which is quite the feat considering how much of an obnoxious, anxiety-filled ball of energy I was at the time. I'd make jokes all the time just to be able to see you smile. Your laugh was sweet, contagious, and fluffy like marshmallows, and I wish I could hear it every day like back then.
I remember the day we spent riding and nearly crashing the golf cart and singing out our favorite songs. I remember when I went to your family's farm and we skipped around in the woods barefoot, holding hands. It's weird to think we were fifteen when we did that.
You cried into my shoulder, and I cried into yours. For a couple years, I woke up every morning thinking that everyone hated me and wanted to see me dead, but there you were, proving me wrong every single day. You were my light, my sun, my reason for living.
But I transferred schools, and I heard from you less often. We haven't talked in a year now, and I just want to know: do you still love reading? Do you still love music and singing? Do you still obsess over books and tv shows? Do you still wear the necklace I gave you? Do you still love dancing in the rain? Do you still consider me a friend?
I don't know how to start, so this is my beginning: hi, you don't know me and i don't know you. So i'm sorry if i'm offending you.
You seem like such a nice person. I'm really sorry to hear you aren't in touch with her anymore. I just wanted to say, maybe you can write her again. And maybe (i know this sounds weird) write her a letter if you know where she lives. You are so good with words and you write just the right things. And if it was like in you text i bet she's going to be so happy to hear from you. I hope i may have helped. And if not, i'm sorry, but i just wish you the best. Good luck♡
did anyone else instinctively say 'bless you' after she sneezed i can't help it oops
TeapotTrash same tho
I literally say it every time it's an issue
Don't you mean its a *tissue*
Sara Kirkland oHH MY GODDD
Sorry! Did I offend u??
This touched me because my friend, doesn't seem to want to be my friend anymore. Trusting is no longer something i have.
Sadies Bustos I relate my friend.. My best friend of 13 years seems to not want my company anymore.
Sadies Bustos My friend told me just yesterday in the most inconsiderate way that she didn't want me in her life. I understand how you feel. 😊💚🤗
Same... My very best friend don't want to be this to me anymore... I cried listening the song
You'll always find someone who'll love to be with you, just keep looking :) MUCH love to you all! And we're always here.
I hope things got better and u were able to heal☺️
I fell in love with a girl. Was too much of a coward to say anything. We were best friends, I trusted her with my darkest secrets. She destroyed that trust. Turned into an entirely new person. This song fits everything so well and listening to it breaks my heart.
What happened Zoe?
When this song came out, I sent it to my best friend because the feeling of knowing someone this deeply, then losing them, really made me feel something and I wanted to share it with her. Three years later and she is the person this song reminds me of... It's hard when you know you shouldn't miss someone but you still do.
PLUS THE UKE IS BACK YASSSS
Sara Smiles :D I appreciate your profile picture
lol ty xD Ane Anacl

when you sneeze at the same time as dodie???
sure you did 🙄
fate
Man, this song actually brings back positive memories for me. I was in a long distance relationship, note that it was a healthy and supporting relationship, but once we got into high school we could no longer uphold our relationship. We both decided to split up, but I’m glad we were on good terms. I knew him once. It was nice. ❤️
I'm glad your story was a good one.
That sneeze portrayed that this video was gonna be amazing.
True!
Lol
The lyrics are so simple but so relatable and beautiful + a little bit depressing because it reminds me of my friends who are going to different university :( and I keep getting sad that this is my last year with them
+ I feel like they're just gonna forget about me so every time I'm with them i get sad on the inside that this won't last forever and it will just be a memory
Myself and my best friends went to different universities four years ago and were still just as close and have even mixed our new friends into our group! Make time for skype calls and make make a group facebook chat just to post little life updates or to talk when you're bored, it helps a lot in keeping in touch!
Best of luck xx
Frithiona omg thank you so much 😩💞💞💞💞
University is still a couple of years in the future for me but when I get there Im really worried that a similar thing will happen to me. I hope you stay in touch with them anyway and also make new friends etc. Good luck😁
Daniel Lawson my friends and i went to very far away unis when we left school, basically only saw each other during holidays. now we're all done with out studies and we still love each other and maintain great relationships! you'll be okay :)
I really really needed this. My grandma died Tuesday and I've been thinking about her nonstop. This sums up my thoughts. Thank you so much Dodie!
I'm sorry about your grandma
I'm so sorry
Awww I'm so sorry I hope she rests in peace ❤️❤️
Twenty Øne Phans! At The Disco hey, im really sorry for your grandma
feel better soon
Twenty Øne Phans! At The Disco im so sorry ):
I knew him once - the prettiest, goofiest dork you’d ever meet. a kind smile, red hair, more freckles than stars in the sky. his cheeks would get rosy and pink, even inside with the ac on. he made me happy for 2 years; and then I broke his heart. entirely my fault, I understand now. I’m a better person now, and I wish I could talk to him again, but every message I send doesn’t deliver.
yes, I knew him once, and it was nice.
I’m sorry, Andrew. I hope you’re doing better without me, and that high school treats you well, love. 💞 you were the first person I fell in love with; I will always be in love with you.
This is so beautiful yet so unfamiliar, being 14 I've never been smitten or broken.... Or anything for that matter. Should I try it? Is it worth it? Those are thoughts I'm a bit preoccupied to focus on, but of course one day I'll be responsible of a heart, that I will handle like glass. Is that a good thing?
I'm 16 and have never
Its not worth it . Or maybe it is . You shouldn't take advice from another broken heart tho
ADONIA NUHA everything that you do is worth it. Even if it is all just bad memories, it builds your personality and makes you stronger. You'd never see the light without the dark
They might be, they could be hell. Don’t fall in too deep.
It's a unique, and often bittersweet happiness, but I think worth it. How do you know you're happy if you've never been sad?
Please stop writing songs about me.
TomSka yeah dodie jezz
TomSka lmao
oh my lawd
haha XD
TomSka ha
THAT WAS THE CUTEST SNEEZE IVE EVER HEARD OMG
ALSO I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH IM ACTUAL TEARS ARE STREAMING
I kind of want to share this with my mum on facebook, but I still wouldn't get a response and I would still be sitting here, crying
I had a best friend once , we’re were two halves that connected so well. Now all of its dark and broken , we knew everything about each other , now it just hurts. Everytime I see you I break my heart again , and I bend over backwards and shut myself out of things just not to see you.
To that person , I knew you once , and it was nice, thank you for showing me who I am strong enough to be.
I can't even play any instruments, but I just bought a fuckin ukulele because of this channel.
fuck me
fuck my life
fuck my broken English
BUT I LOVE THIS CHANNEL
JUST FOUND UR COMMENT AND IT'S THE BEST COMMENT EVER AND I LOVE YOU
this is pure!! i hope the ukulele playing is going alright for you xx
OMG I just did the same
moca cola me in a nutshell even tho i play 2 instruments
i did the same as you, i bought it because of this channel
This.... was so lovely.
You are lovely.
Aymen to that
Cherry Wallis I agree
I miss you.
I'm losing you.
I'm being replaced.
And while I'm trying to accept that fact
It's hard
Cause you've always been there for me
And now you're just...
Not
Remember playing the cheerio game? Remember the times we would just silently sit on hex and it would be the most comfortable feeling in the world?
Remember talking on the phone for hours and hours and not realizing it?
Remember promising to keep talking over summer?
Remember promising you'll always be here for me, and that you weren't leaving?
Remember every sleepover?
Remember feeling content for once?
Remember the 3am talks, confessing our deepest insecurities?
Remember how good it felt to finally feel like you belong?
There's so much I want to tell you, but I just can't, and now I have no one to tell. I can't trust you anymore.
You told him about my reason for dating him after swearing you wouldn't.
You outed me when I *wasn't ready.*
You chose, over and over again, to not stay with me during pa.
You choose, over and over again, to not bother texting me and asking how I am.
You decide, over and over again, that's it's okay to leave me with her since we're dating and not ever hang out with me
You decide, every day, to let more of me and what we had slip away into nothingness.
I miss you.
I wish things were different.
But it's up to you now.
I've done all I could.
i knew her once, and she knew me too. it’s impossible to reminisce our memories without regretting. i can’t ask for forgiveness what i did was unforgivable, we weren’t perfect. but you put up with me incredibly and i wish for more of those moments. Remember when I got Dodie’s human vinyl signed i came over and we listened to it on your brothers player because i didn’t have one. i remember every friday i’d come over. i sit in the places we hung out.
we knew each other once and it was nice
I ended two of my toxic friendships and though I don't miss them ( unless I'm hormonal/ on my period) this really just reminds me of them. I was miserable and depressed when I was with them, and having to remind myself of this every time I get emotional sucks. I should probably go therapy or speak to someone about it.
buse g same here buddy, I loved this girl with all my heart, she was my best friend. She wasn't healthy, she did me wrong many times. I had to stop being friends with her but this brought it all back.
Sarah Dickie Same here! She used to make up rumors about me, but I didn't know about it until recently.
I miss the innocence that I had before I lost her. She taught me that the world is unfair *way* too early.
buse g i feel this w all my heart but im glad to be out of it, and i wish you the best luck!❤
buse g me too, me too. I'm still in the process of ending it but I knew him so well and I now I haven't seen him for like a month and it feels like freedom. It's weird how things like this happen
buse g you really should talk to someone about it. and by someone i mean someone you feel is close to you, and not us strangers in the comments :). I hope you have a good day
this should be on spotify ))):
Luísa Lourenço yess
Luísa Lourenço omg yesss
Luísa Lourenço all of her songs should be on spotify
Luísa Lourenço true
Luísa Lourenço all of her songs should be on itunes bc i would but them all
I was really expecting the line
I knew you one
but never twice
This comment almost made me cry, it would have fit well for my situation
The sneeze replaced the snap-clap. I love it
ChewingSand AHH ILYY

I SAID "BLESS YOU" WITHOUT EVEN REALISING I WAS SAYING IT UNTIL AFTER ID SAID IT AND NOW IM CRYING BECAUSE OF THE SONG AND BECAUSE IM LAUGHING SO HARD AHA
sketcheton same
when I first heard this song, I wasn't reminded of anyone. it's been 3 years since that, and a lot has happened. now im reminded of my best friend; or at least, she was. until she stopped talking to me or coming online to the game we played very often. it's quite sad for me, but at the same time, she was a good friend during a really bad time in my life. and i'm grateful for that. we were pretty close, joking around together and helping each other out when needed-- she was called 'Reese'. if you're still out there, or even read this comment, good luck for the many years to come.
Honestly, same, man. I was so much younger back then. We didn’t know what had us coming, huh
i knew her once, then i didn't.. then i did again, but then i didn't... i messed up, we both did and i miss being your friend
this hit way close to home, and
it was nice..
wow. I just finished listening to that for the first time and I have tears streaming down my face. You just perfectly capsulated a friendship I once had and it really hit me hard, thanks for this amazing song dodie.
i knew her once, and i had to move. we stayed close and she visited me. it was like nothing changed. and now time has passed and she found someone else. a new best friend. she changed a lot. i’d like to blame the people around her but i know i can’t. people change. i knew her once, and it was nice.
i miss my best friend.
This song reminds me so much of my best friend and I. Every day I wish I could have the chance to speak to her again. Just once.
I was in love
It was the brightest sunshine I had ever felt
Then it was gone and the darkness was painful
Even if there was no darkness at all
To lit To be dead that was beautiful, i’d love to read more of your work if you have it
There won't be darkness if you don't let it be darkness. Sunshine always comes back out, and until then, you've got support until the storm passes.

It's so cute how she adds voices humming in harmony in her songs. I just adore this.
Rose Freak well she does love harmony.
Listening to this song several months ago while missing someone was incredibly difficult. Listening to this song now coming out the other side and feeling okay is a beautiful experience.
Dear Abby,
I didn't stop being your friend becuase I stopped loving you. I stopped being your friend becuase I stopped loving myself. It took me a while to realise it, but you were toxic.
I still love you.
~Serenity
I recently cut ties with a really close friend. I wasn't happy in the friendship and I couldn't be myself anymore. She had changed. It is so difficult for now but it will be better soon :).
Waffle the way you phrased that 😂 (but I'm in a similar situation too.)
natalie hope everything is going well for you 🤗💚
Waffle Be honest, speak from your heart, but don't be inconsiderate.
it really does get better guys, keep your heads up and you’ll make it.
dodie: *sneezes*
me: sAME
Haha literally though, I'm sick :/
Klara Holmer get well soon🌸
+Roxy Chapwell thanks, you're sweet
What r u doing go follow buzywithbooks ME TOO
I gotta pee but like
Dodie
Honestly, so many times, I've tried to make real friends with someone. I'm super young, and my older sister's friends are all so supportive and sweet and awesome. I want to find someone like that, but we always float away. If I could just hold onto them, maybe I'd not fall asleep wondering if I'm going to die thinking these same thoughts. Now that my older sister has a boyfriend, I'm even more sad because I want someone special like that. I guess I just need to be a better person... But I don't know if I can try any harder than I already am.
Every time I see this I quietly say "Bless you, dodie." when you sneeze in the beginning.
same
angiereyes is it really because she was sneezing? :'^)
I was doing a writing assignment and it was poetry...I wrote this because Dodie came to mind:
Dodie Clark is an amazing singer
The beautiful songs always linger
The talented harmonies
Bring me to my knees
Oh the so very talented singer
Sorry if this is weird
My dearest Ivan:
I knew you once, and it was nice. I miss you darling, we were best friends for 6 years, and I'm so sorry things ended like this. I'm so sorry we never said goodbye when I left. I'm so sorry your girlfriend made us stop talking. I'm so sorry I didn't wish you a merry Christmas.
I'm so sorry it's been so long, I'm so sorry we couldn't solve it. I'm sorry my parents hate you because of how many times they've seen me cry.
The world seems like a fever dream without our silly talks, without walking into the classroom and seeing you and your bright smile.
I'm sorry. Please come back to me.
Love,
-Your little sister
Even a couple years after this video comes out and it still melts me and inspires me to keep writing. Ugh I love this song.
Is it bad that I have a crush on dodie?
Miriam Salter why the heck would it be bad to have a crush on dodie she's amazing
Miriam Salter almost everyone has a crush on Dodie honestly
Miriam Salter don't we all... 😂
Miriam Salter I'm gay af but I have the biggest crush on her, it's the dodie affect
Miriam Salter I'm straight and I love Dodie so much. It is the Dodie effect ^
you posted this video right as I was going through a pretty rough breakup with someone. We had just grown apart the last few months because she was at college and didn't have/make any time for me. This song is awesome and you've been an amazing inspiration with your music and your vlog. love you°!!!
I lost you to her. I miss you. I hope you're happy, happier in ways I could never make you. Love you best friend
After being dumped on Christmas Day I think I've listened to this 1000000 times. Bless u Dodie ❤
gUEsS who just got dumped again!!!! Welcome to the unlovable club we have snacks
@@emmahaigh365 damn same. I got dumped 7 months ago and I'm still crying whoops. At least we have food in the unloveable club
i'd say god bless you but it seems like he already did
