      dodie do you think you’ll ever make your sheet music open to the public?

  • @kaylimann
    @kaylimann 3 роки тому +299

    Can we talk about the fact that dodie arranged this almost entirely herself with no experience??? She's NUTS

  • @theonlytails
    @theonlytails 3 роки тому +411

    You said that "The person who made these string arrangements is nuts".
    It was dodie.
    dodie is nuts.

      u can check "Ashlyn" album by the artist Ashe, songs like "When I'm Older" or "Ryne's song" are pretty good

      MORE DODIE!!!!! would love to hear your thoughts on Before the Line, Sorry, or any song on the album honestly

    • @daniellehaas4482
      @daniellehaas4482 3 роки тому +6

      You should listen to the whole first side of dodies album or at least from rainbow to before the line cuz it all mends together with the strings it’s amazing.

  • @katietamura664
    @katietamura664 3 роки тому +88

    I love how he said "I need to find out who did this", like its sounds so accusatory like "how dare you make something this beautiful"

  • @waaygaan
    @waaygaan 3 роки тому +31

    I never realized that Dodie has that feeling of a mother singing to her child. I always find myself looking to her music for comfort especially when I can’t sleep. I just can’t get over her entire self.

  • @SamanthaGirlScout
    @SamanthaGirlScout 3 роки тому +118

    She's talked a bit about how much she's been wanting to compose for strings and this album shows how much work she's done!!

  • @tabea.kindermann2003
    @tabea.kindermann2003 3 роки тому +146

    I really, like REALLY think you should react to "Sorry" by her. It's beyond gorgeous, I was blown away the first time I heard it. And btw, I really like this reaction, thanks for that!

  • @caroline2095

    “I’m going to listen that again. I’m not going to get over this” me with every single thing Dodie has ever created

  • @augustburning
    @augustburning 3 роки тому +62

    The best way I've been able to sum up Dodie's music is that it's SO brilliantly complex in its composition, yet so simple in it's presentation that you can't help but be affected, very deeply and very emotionally, by it, whatever the intended affect may be. 🥺🥰😄😭
    Very astute commentary. You've put to words all the things that I notice in her music but haven't the words to describe. Thank you and keep this up. 🙏
    Also, yes, she does her own string arrangements. She discussed it a bit in her interview with NME (I think it was?).

    I'm a music education major, and I just wanted to congratulate your attention to your use of big terms; you didn't shy away from technical musical terms, but made sure to always realize you used them, and then define them in a way that is accessible to anyone, musician or not. Thanks for doing your part in making music ed accessible to everyone!

  • @kestrel9975
    @kestrel9975 3 роки тому +21

    This is one of my favorites of her. The strings are absolutely magical. I would never think about how it have a LOTR like sounds in it, but now I can't stop. It's show how amazing dodie writes. She's telling us about something so deeply painful for her; her words are quiet, but what she's saying is so much bigger and whole arrangement emphasize it so well.

    • @Halcyon1997
      @Halcyon1997 9 місяців тому

      Honestly it had deeply entranced for the first long while when I'd listen to it. Very few songs and artists can do to me what she can.

  • @aqua56100
    @aqua56100 3 роки тому +19

    from an opera singer lol (also a huge dodie fan), we usually shorten "recitative" and say "REH-sit" if you dont wanna say the longer version and risk mispronouncing hehe. Also, thank you for analyzing this song. Dodie has been my comfort artist for a while now, and hearing you talk about it reminds me of my music theory days earlier in my undergrad. Thanks a bunch!!

  • @danielbond76
    @danielbond76 3 роки тому +6

    so dodie actually made this song 4(?) years ago on a smaller scale along with another EP of hers and I loved it back then, but the newer version (this one) is imo slower and more intimate with all the orchestrated elements

  • @caraliiina8453

  • @courtneytesh9234
    @courtneytesh9234 3 роки тому +1

    Loved this interpretation of When - dodie’s orchestration can seem simple sometimes when that minimalism is part of the genius of it! I will say, while I did hear the lydian raised 4ths later on in the chords/arpeggios you get into around 7:07 and onward, I never heard the opening notes as Lydian... what you are calling the raised 4th and the 3rd, I hear as the 7th and 6th to a different (regular major) key, Ab. It creates a pull up toward the tonic or down to the 5th looking for resolution. And the Snow Patrol esque notes Ab and Eb become the tonic and fifth. Funny how our brains put the tonic in different spots!

    @ultracrepidarian9871 3 роки тому

    That was such an insightful commentary! I've been listening to dodies album constantly the past days and love to get to know more about each of the songs, especially because I really have no idea about the composing part of music so this was super interesting!

    you should definitely react to before the line off the same album! absolutely amazing. also when is an old song of hers that she's redone and somehow made more beautiful

  • @user-yf6hb8oj7w

    I loved hearing this analysis! I look forward to you doing Tessa Violet's music, who I love as much as Dodie, and I hope you continue to do reactions to singers. *subscribed*
    One of my favorite UA-camrs is Emma Blackery. I find her song A History of Touches mesmerizing, but I don't know why. I don't even know if the music to the song is all that complex or not, but I'd love a reaction video to it if you're open to reviewing it (or any of her songs, really, but you'll find they're all very different from each other ... she likes experimenting with her sound and style, so her songs have changed greatly over the years). Thanks! :)

    I'd love to hear your thoughts on her song Secret For The Mad. The instrumentation is so minimal but there's still a lot to say about her arrangement.

  • @underscoresenjoyer3018
    @underscoresenjoyer3018 3 роки тому

    A CRAZY beautiful piano / experimental song that I think you would love is “Wind Tempos” by Porter Robinson. I’ve never heard anything quite like it before, very orchestral but it has all these glitches and production tricks that make it sound like an artificial intelligence having a spiritual experience

    Ahhh I’m so glad UA-cam recommended this to me bc I *love* this song and I know it makes me feel lots of things so it’s really cool to hear someone pick apart what’s actually going on in there that I don’t know enough about music theory to analyze!! would love to see you do a Hozier song or something by Orla Gartland (since you mentioned liking her too!) next :)
