This song is so inspiring and relatable.
I've always known i wasn't straight, but i've always been told that girls could only marry boys, and that what i felt was just a big friendship.
Last year i came out to my parents, and while my dad was fully supportive and even made some jokes about it that really made me laugh, i could see my mom wasn't truly ok with it. She wanted to be supportive, but she didn't knew how. Whenever i go out with a girl (even if it's just a friend), she tells me to be careful with my affection in public, because she worries a lot about what other people may think.
My family from my mother's side is VERY homophobic, even tho it has 3 queer people. My cousin is living with his boyfriend, and my family still calls the boy his "friend", bc they refuse to admit that he likes boys.
My whole life i've been told by my grandmother that god made men and women to reproduce, that being gay is wrong, she even tried to make me come out saying that my (dead) cousin once told her he was gay. But he never admited it to anyone that wasn't my parents and his brothers. The family found out when he died of AIDS in the 90's.
So it's always been hard for me to be proud of myself or to admit my sexuality.
Yesterday an amazing friend gave me a pan pride bracelet, and now i'm wearing it in the family party that's happening today, while i listen to this song over and over on my head. That's giving me strenght to go trough this day, knowing that as usual my grandma will probably try to bring me down.
These are such simple things, but make my heart warm of joy and pride. Thank you Dodie, for another song that helps me trought the day and makes me feel less alone and more loved. Seriously, thank you

Stan Sadiebaby ok, now i'm the one who's tearing up, haha

Luísa Luz Oh no it was happy tears. It was so beautiful

Stan Sadiebaby i truly hope it was in a good way. I had no intention of making people cry or tear up, just in sharing my story to thank dodie and to perhaps help someone going trough the same thing

Khonsu the Core that's the vibe dodie leaves in us, isn't it? This woman is a blessing

Luísa Luz no, issa happy cry. The best cry I've had in a while. It happens during dodie's videos all the time. Get out there and share the love!

Khonsu the Core oh, i'm so sorry that made you cry! That was not my intention.
I'm the one that should be thanking you. Actually, thanking everyone im this coment session. You all are amazing people, who don't even know me but showed your support. I'll always be grateful for that 💙
(Also, great quote)

Luísa Luz I'm crying a bit now. Thank you for letting me help, to quote the Beatles "All you need is love."

Khonsu the Core thank you, it's people like you that make me truly belive there's good in people and in religion. I've studied my whole life in a catholic school, hearing about love but only seeing hate. Last year was even worse. There were casses of abuse, homophobia, sexism, racism... and no one did anything. They belived they were safe bc they prayed, and that what they did was okay according to religion. This year has been way better, i changed classes, became class president and have been only seeing support in my class. The school is still hateful, but at least i've met people that like you belive that religion is about lovig others, not hating them and calling the way they are sins. Thank you for being like that 💙 it truly helps people like me

Richard Jeremias valeu. Eu tenho 4 sobrenomes, mas esse é o único que eu uso, exatamente por isso. É uma coisa bem simples mas que me anima. Volta e meia quando eu to mal meus amigos fazem trocadilhos com o Luz. Isso ajuda mt.<br>I hope you can show people how you're bright too.

Luísa Luz I'm so sorry you have to deal with that side of Christianity. I believe God made you exactly how you are and he loves you how he made you. He wants you to show the world how much love you have. Love isn't about reproduction, it's not just about sex, it's about two people accepting each other for who they are, exactly how they are, and helping them to be the best them they can be. If being gay is a sin, who's to say having ADHD or depression isn't a sin? So show the world your love. And if it means anything to you I'm praying for you.

Nada ^^ <3 Btw, teu sobrenome é demais. I wish you show them how much you're bright.

Miranda Perez i'm gonna use that argument when someone tells me i can't marry a girl bc we can't reproduce. <br>Also, thank you so much for the support. I hope you can come out to your family and find support too 💙 we all deserve to be happy

Luísa Luz the whole thing about gay marriage being “wrong” because you are unable to produce a child is so stupid?  Like, it’s a completely invalid reason and I hate when “Christians” bring it up because,,,,there are straight couples that can’t reproduce, and they’re still allowed to get married. I always bring that up, and it leaves people dumbfounded because they realize how stupid their argument is. I wish you the best of luck with being who you are, and with your family coming to terms with it. You are brave for coming out to a family who has a history of homophobia, and I hope I’ll be able to do that one day too. <br>💓💛💙

Luísa Luz unrelated but I loVE YOUR PROFILE PIC


coming back to this and wow im just so glad this is on apple music now holy crap youre amazing


I think it’s truly precious how in her description she says “some helplines if this song hurts a lot”. Excuse me while I cry.


WOW, you are amazing! I subscribed after you sang the first word


I can´t stop replaying this... It is so relatable... "I never asked to be this way", but I am, and I love it. I recently came out to my parents and it went pretty well, and this song says just everything I felt before telling them and what I feel about telling other members of my family.<br>Thanks Dodie, for your talent, for your comforting lyrics and for being so real.

I love dodies music so much that I actually dreamt about being her and wearing her clothes!


how are you just gonna make me cry like this


oh god this is so what i needed x love you dodie !!!!!!!!!!


dodie this means so much to me, for some reason these pasts weeks the bi struggles have really been hitting me hard and ive felt pretty shitty about the state of the world (and in some ways the state of the community) And ive been loving pride and have been joining in all the queer activities but its just so nice to have your voice, a bi voice, singing out, and with such a beautiful song. some people will never understand the constant, vague underlying feeling of not being welcome, and my own internalized bi-phobia doesn't help, so every bit of validation from people like you being visible and sharing my feelings means a whole lot xxx


I have goosebumps from it being so cold in my room, but this gave my goosebumps goosebumps, especially at 0:40 and 1:49


its 2am in my country and i was just trying to calm down listening to your asmr videos after p bad panick attack, you have no idea how much it helps, love you dodie💓

thank you guys 💗, i love how everyone in the comments under dodie's videos are so sweet and supportive

remember it all gets brighter in the end, and there are a hundred people who will listen to you cry

I hope you feel alright soon <3 everything will be okay


The song title reminded me of Rainbow by Kacey Musgraves! Love you guys both so much and I love all the support 💖💖💖


I literally listened to this as I put the final touches on my pride month drawing....


i seriously happy cry every single time i hear this song. so thank you for this wonderful piece of art. i know that it means so much to so many people, and i'm so incredibly happy to be part of such a beautiful community of strong and loving people.


Okay SO! As someone who is discovering their own sexuality, this meant the world especially the lines “my title just talks over me, I never even asked to be this way” because it’s my greatest fear to only be SEEN as my attraction, but this whole community and the idea of being a bright rainbow makes it so much easier. Thank you Dodie


i have these lyrics on a t shirt and i feel so blessed


"So please step inside my soul
I'd love to watch you gasp"
Hits very close to home man


I'm so glad creators like you, YouTube and music artists alike, can use their work to reach out too people of all ages and backgrounds. I feel like your songs talk about stuff a lot of people are afraid of taking about, which really opens up conversations and gives people comfort in themselves. Thank you for inspiring so many people....gosh darn it I didn't mean to sound cheesy but I wanted to you to know that <3


God that last chorus with the harmonies 😭😭😭😭 I can't describe the feeling in my soul when I hear it


Actual chills. Thank you for existing the way that you do


Thank you that's all I can say about this song is thank you Dodie I really needed to hear this


I  was crying the whole way through, and I don't think I ever cried because of a song before.


This is the closest I’ll ever get to a religious experience

Sam Scott I laughed way to hard over this


I full on cried at this I love it so much


Happy pride all, and here’s to pride 2019 ❤🧡💛💚💙💜✨

This year was twenty gay-teen. Next year should be twenty bi-teen!!           💗💜💙


Dodie!!! Cant wait for another album!! When will its coming out? God bless you! Stay healthy and be positive 😘😘💕💕😉😉


Am I the only one that thinks that she sings that line “how can I be proud of“ so incredibly beautifully? I just replayed this part like 20 times and I'm like YES GURL


this means so much to me. Im pan and ace spec. I just came out to myself about the ace spec part and im still getting used to it. I think I've known for quite a bit, but I've been in denial saying to myself "thats not right, whats wrong with you" well now I've accepted it and im growing. so this song really helps, thanks dodie


This is equivalent to the slight pitter patter of rain during a slightly sunny afternoon


i come back to this so often, it’s one of the only songs that gives me full comfort in my sexuality. sobbing dodie.


I love this song so I keep listening to it. But it makes me cry every goddam time and I need help.


I love the fact that lyrics never say something LBTQ <b>literally</b> but it still so powerfull

I love the fact that lyrics never say something LBTQ *literally* but it still so powerfull


a beautiful and comforting go to gay song

perfect for coming out day :)


I colored my nails rainbow this summer for pride because me me big Ally, I'm not necessary IN the community but I would like to think of myself as a part of it. I support so much, and originally my rainbow nails were just a fun little thing for pride to support, but you know what, I'm going to keep my rainbow nails, all of the summer because Everyone should show pride and HAVE pride EVERY SINGLE DAY. You are all beautiful no matter who or what you are, whether your certain of who you are, or your uncertain, or you don't know. You are amazing, you are accepted, and YOU ARE LOVED. By me and so many other people

Edit: alright so turns out I’m actually bi 👀 HHAHAHA

Lmao so turns out I’m actually bi,, HAHAHA

Is this a jacksfilms reference in a comment about pride? Respect levels are out of the fucking roof!

Hey my dude, simply being a person who is breathing and alive and willing to support others makes you a part of the community, regardless of what you identify as. Have a good pride month 💗💛💙

perso Nathalie Heck yeah, that sounds awesome. Allies are amazing, and so are you!

me me Biiiiiig ally i'm screaming what a reference wow

i would love to talk to you somewhere else than here!

perso Nathalie you're so sweet!! do you have any social media? 💕

z I thought you were calling me son 😂 but hey, I support you no matter what -3- , son


the bicon we deserve. i love this and you, thanks for everything.


Hi Dodie! I've been subscribed for so long, and I always adore all your work! I would love to hear a Dodie rendition of a GOT classic, The Bear and the Maiden Fair!


So gorgeous. When are you going to release more music on iTunes/Spotify/etc. ??


crying alone in my room because this month has been (and not to be annoying) really hard for me as a writer and an artist. I haven’t drawn or written anything all month which has made me feel really crap about myself. But this song just brought me to tears because it gave me inspiration again, and I haven’t felt that feeling, a rush of ideas, feeling like you can create again, in a really long time. Thank you for making me my creative gay self again.


omg that's you best song. still hearing it mostly everyday.


Watching all of your videos from recent to old... it’s like going back in time to when I first found you, and then before that. It reminds me of when my life was okay, when things were normal. But the girl who showed you to me... I wouldn’t go back to before I had her for the world.


But my title just walks over me, I never asked to be this way. IM IN ACTUAL TEARS DODIE YOU BEAUTIFUL SOUL


If my spirit could reach across the span of the sea
I would send my heart and a hug to meet yours
Your soul is beautiful even when there is rain
In your happiest moments you gleam brighter than the sunniest day
Never let the things you dream about be sullied by the storms
Just like a rose life is full of pain and hurdles to climb
But there is always something truly beautiful waiting at the end


I could never thank you enough for your songs, your sincerity, your cute little face and for what you bring me everytime I listen to your voice. Really, we never say it too much: thank you so so much, little rainbow ❤


You are the most incredible person i know. I love you with all my heart. You changed my life and i feel good when "i'm with you" through your videos and your songs. Also please make more videos on doddlevloggle, i miss you! xoxo <3


I know we didnt see it much in this video, but you have a beautiful smile!


I'm gay and this song made me double gay

Rissy Kline I’m sorry I’m gay I don’t understand math? Dhajshdhjdjdjdjsb


This makes me feel so much for the LGBTQ+ community and even tho I'm not part of it I'm in full support of it


to all the people who are in the place i was this time 6 months ago, sitting and listening to this song and realising what i’d been scared to admit for so so long: you are beautiful, you are brave, and here you are loved a million times over. you are a rainbow. that is more than okay.<br>love from another rainbow girl :)

love from another rainbow girl :)


hah its one in the morning and im crying because I relate to every lyric in this song and I can feel my soul breaking a bit and putting itself back together


I am crying. Want to know the story behind this. Dodie... just... thank you so much. <b>*HUGS*</b>

I am crying. Want to know the story behind this. Dodie... just... thank you so much. **HUGS**


Such a lovely song performed beautifully. I've recorded some original songs myself so please take a look if you can spare a minute as I would appreciate your feedback. Thank you.


this is really beautiful and almost had me crying, thank you so much for making this.


"it's getting hard to navigate when every map was never made for me." I know this song is about your experience as a bi person but as a non-binary person I really relate to this whole song but this line in particular made me tear up because we live in such a binary world and I feel like I can't be myself. But people like you inspire me to keep going and be myself. Thank you Dodie...


This song perfectly describes how I felt about being trans for so long. "How can I be proud of what a million people shout at me I'm not?"


Read past the label. Read the heart. Read the mind. Read the soul. That’s the only way to find someone’s true person.
Sincerely,
A rainbow... <3


“I’m so used to feeling wrong”- I am crying, this rings true for me and so many others, so true it hurts


this makes me so happy because i want everyone to hear it and sad because so many people who are a part of the LGBTQ+ community don't get accepted and i just want to say that this is beautiful and i'm sobbing


changing my life more and more with every video I watch.


When I first heard this song, I thought it was about being neurodiverse, which I am, it made me feel a bit more ok about being neurodiverse. 🍄🖤


This song is so needed and is honestly so beautiful


I know this is big bisexual,  and I'm pansexual/demisexual but I want to do this or another dodie song for the talent show my school is having because I feel like it would really be something I can express myself through and communicate with through dance


This song gives me so much joy. Dodie, hope you can do a Canada tour one day!


Can you pleaseeeeeee put this on iTunes and Spotify!!!!


I'm gonna go tattoo that chorus on my forehead, bye


straight ally here! Love this and you!!!!


Singers like you are very rare and beautiful 🌻☀⛅🌟⭐


I love all your songs, but as someone currently struggling with their sexual orientation, how I feel about it, how I feel talking about it, interacting with others, friends, family, and etc, this song is specifically hitting me real hard. Love you dodie.❤


To watch her song the original after she has actually released it feels so cool and amazing.


This song is the one thing I come back to when I'm suffering from some kind of anxious or depressed phase after being unable to truly be me at home, in public or in school and it really helps to calm me down. It reminds me that I'm part of something bigger, that one day people will realise and hopefully either accept who I am or embrace it, Dodie we're blessed to have you as part of the community and I hope you know how much you mean to all of us, giving many of us a voice when we personally can't speak to anyone.

A little dedicated note to anyone in the situation I'm in where you can't be who you want to be in certain places, you'll find many people who'll accept and love you no matter what even in those dark places, they'll call you by your preferred pronouns and talk to you about who you love and listen to you gush with a look of pure joy because they know you're happy. You'll never alone in this community and it'll always be that way, believe me when I say you'll find many other bright colours who will help you be the brightest rainbow you've ever been. ♡♡♡


You're songs help me do much. I can fall asleep to them so easily, feel relief from my mental illnesses listening to them because music in general helps but your songs.... They are special. They're magic. Thank you for having a passion for this and putting your songs out here for us. I don't know what i would do if i couldn't hear your music. Thank you so much Dodie


This song hits me so hard. I am a pansexual girl with one foot out of the closet. The biggest reason why I haven’t fully come out is because I’m not ready for people to convince out of something I know I am. So the song helping me come to terms with that possibility. Thank you so much Dodie!

WillowCake I'm pansexual too and I can tell you to be confident in who you are before you come out of the closet, to be sure no words can possibly sway you, because everyone won't be your friend but as long as you stay yourself it'll all be fine


I like your songs and music!!!! You have talent


Casually crying within the first 30 seconds


I was wondering where I’d heard it before


i got so lost in how beautiful dodies ukulele playing sounds that i literally had to go back and listen to the lyrics


Your the reason why I'm still alive.  I love you!!


i added a tab of just rain sounds and i lowered the volume while playing this and im in love


*gay crying*

i knew deep in my heart that I wasn’t bi myself

**gay crying**

i knew deep in my heart that I wasn’t bi myself


Hello, I'm so glad you enjoy dodie content too

Justin Y. please leave dodie alone, YOU'RE EVEYEWHERE ELSE


this song is the most perfect thing i have ever heard


OMG! I think that's all I really need to say. Isn't it!! Ok. I'll elaborate. Beautiful.


Mackenzie Frecloud i swear you’re everywhere omg


"HELLO!"I'm calling out to you from the year  2021...and WoW-Doidies New video for this is Amazing🤩😍🤩ALL of her new videos are. Way to Go,and Keep up all this Great work!

P.s.did anyone else buy the 'colorless'skittles that she was promoting So well? I kinda think those would make everyone think twice about race in these times,as well


Your voice is so beautiful and this song is so inspiring


i started listening to this while i was doing homework and im crying


the greatest end to pride month there ever could be✨🏳🌈


"How can I be proud of what a million people shout at me I'm not."<br>There may be a million people shout at you, but 6.999 billion shout back at them.

"How can I be proud of what a million people shout at me I'm not."
There may be a million people shout at you, but 6.999 billion shout back at them.


WOW I'M SO DUMB I DIDN'T EVEN FIGURE OUT WHAT THIS WAS ABOUT UNTIL I SAW THE COMMENTS NOW I'M CRYING MORE THAN BEFORE. BEAUTIFUL


I've been listening to this all day long and also happened to pick up your book and read it today on a plane trip. Yeah I know, ooop took me forever to read, but I genuinely learnt so much about you, and life in general from it. Thanks dodie ❤

I do recommend it! It's beautifully written and put together ❤

Thank you so much, she is such a true & kind hearted person.<br>I hope i learn something from her from the book.

Thank you so much, she is such a true & kind hearted person.
I hope i learn something from her from the book.

Nikoletta may i know what book is it.. ?


I remember when my friends would just call me gay and I'd just say ok. I never remember saying no to that, and they were right


I'm crying right now.. thank you dodie. thank you


your voice cures my aching soul. Thank you.


“how can i proud of what a million people shout at me i’m not” i felt that on a spiritual level, actual chills, so true (edit for capitalization, i obsess)


What does the part "id like to think you'd miss it cause so would i" mean?

A magnificent song btw ❤


You know she’s important when I leave a John Mulaney video to watch the Dodes


I give you my love, I give you my hope, i give you my soul. Thank you


'But my title just talks over me
I never even asked to be this way'
Oh my god this is perfect.


i have never related to something more in my life jesus <br>dodie you cant do this to me

i have never related to something more in my life jesus
dodie you cant do this to me


im not a part of the lgbtq community but this is so beautiful 💞💞


i don't listen to this song a lot but the lyrics just pop in my mind at random times and I love it


you probably won’t see this but i’d love to know which uke you play! i absolutely love you and everything you do ❤


This gave me something to feel on a day of numbness and depression regarding my queerness. thank you for lovely music and message <3


Interestingly enough, I got a completely different meaning from this when I heard it.  I completely understand how this could tie into the LGBT thing.  It also fits those of us who spent our lives not realizing that we had something to offer to a partner, but desperate for the connection.  When someone comes along who truly gets us, and even points out the bright parts who who we are that maybe we're to critical to see ourselves...  At least that's the way I feel.  I was lucky enough to meet an amazing woman who saw the good in me and helped show me that there is more to me than the parts of myself that I hate.  Whatever your sexuality or whatever, if you're overly critical of yourself and you know that it masks the things that are good about yourself, I hope someone comes along and recognizes where you're "bright" and tells you so.


this gives me beatles vibes!!!!!! this is so beautiful!!! ahhh!!!!


the other night I freaked out about my on going frustration with accepting myself as a gender non conforming person. I listened to this on repeat and sobbed and cried and wrote. Because that’s what we do, feel pain, listen to art and make more.


Wow, I was looking for dodie songs to put in my “things to get me through being depressed lol” playlist and i might just have found something to add


I still really want this to be on Spotify ;_;


holy shit dodie this is actually so,  so amazing.


this song describes things i could never put into words myself, it hits so close to home and it’s so beautiful :)


i came out to my therapist today, i’m lesbian. she’s the only one that knows other than my best friend. i was feeling really anxious about it, but this song made me feel better. don’t know why i’m only just now seeing it, but i’m glad i am seeing it. it’s beautiful and sweet and soft and i love it. thanks, love you dodie. ❤


This song is AMAZING. ITS HONEST. IT SPEAKS.


This is so beautiful 💓shine bright 🌈 ❤🧡💛💚💙💜 - had me screaming “AWWW this is so cute !! 😭💫” with my girlfriend beside me.

Also, I know intersex peeps who very much do want to be part of the Queer community, and in facts have been marginalized out of it due to it not necessarily being visible (Unless ye want to flash yer private parts at complete strangers)

So mate, don't gatekeep. Just don't

aurora likes lemons some asexuals have but most asexuals just get ignored and the people around them don't believe them so it's still a struggle. asexuals do have to come out and face rejection from their family and friends. although asexuals have not had to fight the same battles as the lgbt part of the community (which btw we are very thankful they did), they still struggle and I personally think you shouldn't just ignore the fact that they aren't widely accepted and that they too fight battles for awareness and acceptance of their identity. I do respect you opinion and if something I said was incorrect or disrespectful please tell me.

Intersex ppl have said before that they don't want to be part of lgbtq. And cis asexual are not part of lgbtq either since they have never been abused because of their sexuality, since they just don't want sex. (That is what asexuality is) I mean, no one's come out as asexual and then got kicked out of their house have they

Why are the lgbti & a's necessary? The Q- Queer- is already a collective term for them all, making everything else redundant. Or ye could ditch the Q instead, but I prefer Queer as it's less exclusive-  the + does mean other identities, but there's still pain in not having yer own specific one represented in the main tag- and if ye made the main tag include the whole rainbow of identities it'd be too long. Queer, overall, is better.

My parents think that lgbtqia+ is just something that is put into young people's head by the American government to decrease the world's population.... I think they have a problem

pentatroyephan so anyone that isn’t the norm (talking statistics wise, not meaning as an insult) thanks for clearing that up for me

Well... the t stands for trans, which is about gender and not sexuality, so I think it’s both. I’ve always thought the community includes everyone who isn’t heterosexual and/or cisgender?

pentatroyephan but i thought lgbtq+ was sexuality and not sex or gender

The i stands for intersex (people born with genitals that are not strictly biologically male or female, eg. someone with a vagina and internal testicles, or someone with a penis and ovaries, etc).


This brought me to tears my poor gay heart has exploded into a million pieces ;;~;; this is so beautiful❤🧡💛💚💙💜💗


I'm just going to keep checking your channel every day until the music video with KickthePJ comes out. You two are some of my very favorite creators and I literally yelped when I heard you were making a music video together.


the entire first verse is so hard hitting dodie you’re a genius


“i never even asked to be this way” hits HARD every time


I really am so proud of Dodie, her song writing is so inspirational, and I’m so happy that her work is paying off. Ilyyyy❤❤❤


I would love to pursue making songs even if I’m 90. If dodie did that, I would look up to her as a role model - it’s so adorable.


tears to my eyes and then your rainbow made me feel all right


After the lyrics in the description, Dodie wrote: some helplines if this song hurts a lot: (links to lgbt helplines)
And my stupid self thought they were advice on how to play it on the uke if it’s too hard and hurts your fingers. Then I read "lgbt" in the links and went "wow, I didn’t know there was an lgbt ukulele website". Was not what I expected when I clicked 🤦♀

Yep, I’m an idiot. An idiot who has to suffer through playing 4 fret chords 😂

I just want to clarify that I’m aware of the importance of the link and the issues some people are dealing with. If you’re dealing with hard stuff rn, I strongly encourage you to click on the links too, or talk to someone you trust, even me if you’re not sure who you can trust. I just wanted to share my brain fart because I thought it’s funny


I’m a lesbian, and I’ve known that as long as I can remember. I spent so many years telling the world that I was bi, or pan, just because I’ve been told I was too young to know or because being straight-up GAY was this insurmountable thing that nobody understood yet everyone dictated. It took me so long to admit the truth, and this song made me so so happy that I did. I love this, I love you, thank you so much.


this feels like a ton of bricks on my chest. so many actual tears (happy and sad) :'( cannot wait to see u in september:)


Someone I was crushing on said “pride month is pointless” and I like him a bit less now. This song is an amazing way to sum up why we need pride- not just pride month but pride. <br>I’m proud to be bisexual, even if no one else is proud of me ❤💜💙

every original song of yours puts me in tears. you're so talented. i hope you see this comment and know that you saved me from suicide and self harm. i love you. so much.


Usually I'm totally fine during these, but this one hit close to home, and I'll admit, some tears were shed.


someone send help, I've been crying over this for 20 minutes and I'm not even in the lgbtq+


<b>Immediately tries to learn the ukulele chords</b>

*Immediately tries to learn the ukulele chords*


THE CUTEST SOMG IM WHEEZING AND CRYING I LOVE YOU UKU MOM


Dodie you are a rainbow and you are very bright.  Everyone in the lgbtq+ community is and I'm so proud to be a part of it


To be honest, Dodie, you are the reason I know I'm bi. I remember swooning over your voice and when I got your book it brought me to tears and I just felt like this isn't normal admiration for a singer. I guess what I'm trying to say is, thank you. Thank you for helping me realize that me thinking about loving a girl as more than a friend isn't a straight thing and that's okay. 😊


What's up with Dodie's look today?😂 But despite- DAT GUR CAN SANG!!! 😂😂😂


im sat her with tears in my eyes, this so fucken beautiful dodie ily


this is so beautiful<br>also what type of ukulele do you have? I’m in the market to replace mine

this is so beautiful
also what type of ukulele do you have? I’m in the market to replace mine


This song really inspires me and honestly i cant listen to it without crying a little. Ive already decided when I’m 18 I’m am going to get the lyrics ‘
to say that I’m a rainbow,
To tell me that I’m bright,
When I’m so used to feeling wrong,
Well it makes me feel alright’
These lyrics are so powerful


omg pleeeease release this song it made me cry and it really resonates with me


margo roth spiegelman I love your username


You. Are. So. Precious and this is amazing. i love you bye


I really wanna learn this song on my uke anybody know the cords?


Homophobia levels after this song: 📉📉📉📉

(I know this isn't true but it should be)


Before watching: Yay a new song!
After watching: *crying* This is beautiful

*Before watching:* Yay a new song!

Regan George I always love Dodie's songs, but this one made me especially emotional

Samantha62 Chew62 literally me after every Dodie song 😂


I needed this ❤

those harmonies were heaven tho 👌🏻


This song is the first one that i cried with the first i fully relate to


Wow this song actually made me bawl I was not expecting this


Aahhhhhh I’m in love with this. I hope she makes a uke tutorial. That would make my life. ❤❤

Os 76 yes I think I can figure out the fingering - do you think the strumming pattern is just C - EA C - EA in a 6/8 pattern?

- dodolandie - got all you need right there in this video.


Dodie, you are simply too precious and adorable for this world


I played this out loud in the car once with my mom which she doesnt even know I'm a lgbtq but she listened to the whole thing and said to my face. Hey this song sounds like you❤🧡💛💚💙💜


I've been in an amazing relationship for over 4 years with an amazing person. They've come out. I haven't. I don't want to. I don't want to ruin everything.<br>sO I'LL JUST SIT HERE AND CRy itS FINE I LOve yoU DODIE

I've been in an amazing relationship for over 4 years with an amazing person. They've come out. I haven't. I don't want to. I don't want to ruin everything.
sO I'LL JUST SIT HERE AND CRy itS FINE I LOve yoU DODIE


i am bi but haven’t come out yet... I know that i will be supported by my friends and family but there is a bit of doubt and fear that stays with me when I think of coming out. I know I’m not straight and i guess i’m fine with it but i’m scared to let people know that... it took me a long time to tell my sister and it’ll take me longer to tell my family and friends.. but I guess i’m not still questioning wether or not i’m bi


i really love that a lot of your songs are short little songettes. it makes me quite happy.


Dodie i am bisexual too and I identified so much with this song. Thank you so much for being you and for making me feel ok


i’m watching this on a church youth trip after being told today (once again) that being gay is a sin and gross and blah blah blah and it left me feeling really lousy. what a terrible end to pride month, right? well, I listened to this 6 minutes before the end of june, and am now leaving pride month with a smile on my face, reminded that there are so many others like me and that my feelings are valid. thank you, dodie, so very much for this :)

cam this is lovely. How you feel is OKAY and IMPORTANT. Don’t let anyone convince you otherwise. Best of luck on your journey. ❤❤


This song really helps me feel more accepted about coming out as bisexual. I'm very scared of what my friends and family would think of me when I do but for now I'll just have to figure out a way to tell them.


I CLICKED SO FAST YAAAAS QUEEN WE LOVE YOU ❤❤❤


“I’d like to think you’d miss it
‘cause so would I”
D O D I E


i’m crying. i don’t know i’m feeling i’m useless i almost cry like everyday and no one understand me, i’m feeling stress. but ty dodie you inspired me💓


I legitimately cannot make it through this video without crying. This is so beautiful.


Dodie is angelic. <br>The soft, beautiful tune of her voice and the way her fingers dance along the uke strings could bring tears to the toughest of people.

oh. dudeeeee. i fucking miss dodie songs that feel like playing your guitar in the rain in the fall I love you dodie


AHHHH I CAN'T FIND THIS ON SPOTIFY HELPPP


i was brought up in a line
but i seem to walk in circles

as a proud pansexual, all i wanna say is YES

*i was brought up in a line*
*but i seem to walk in circles*

as a proud pansexual, all i wanna say is YES


So I'm almost half way in and I love it. Please tell the invisible people around me to stop cutting onions. It's giving me vibes of human and sick of losing soul mates. I love both of those songs so I'm excited to learn the lyrics to this song. I'm so proud of you with how you have come with your voice/songs and you as a person. I can't wait to see what the future holds for you, dodie. ❤❤


Lol, I'm pretty sure I was commenting when this first came out saying I was straight but that I wanted to support everyone but now I've found out I'm bi, happy birthday day everyone.


ive got chills now. so talented and pretty


i remember finding a voice memo of me crying on my phone saying "i wish i wasnt gay!" and while that was true at one time or another, now i love how i have changed and how i love myself, i love how free i feel to be myself. i love my mother, who changed her mind. i love my friends who do not care, and i love the songs that clutch me to their chests and say hush. lovely lyrics, lovely melody, this song is simply a triumph.


this song is beautiful. i’m part of the lgbtq+ community and i’ve experienced my fair share of biphobia. i consider myself lucky though as more often i experience positivity towards my sexuality which i’m incredibly grateful for. it’s masterpieces like this that help spread awareness and make being different better accepted. dodie you’re changing the world for the better. thank you.


as a panromantic kid in east tennessee, this really helps so much and relates to me and so many other kids and adults in so many ways. i love you so much, you inspirational goddess 💛🏳🌈


Are those metal strings?? Your singing is the best by the way!!


This is so amazing. As a Bi person, these lyrics speak to me on an even deeper level (although they apply to everyone, bi people experience a certain kind of erasure that others don't. I am in no way saying I have it harder than anyone else, I'm just saying it hits even closer to home than expected. Pain is relative, all of you are lovely, yada yada) than I thought it would. This makes me cry!


This song. Wow. I think this song would finally help people understand what I feel. Make people realise that it’s not just for attention and it’s not just to seem ‘cool’. Because it’s not ‘cool’ where I’m from. Everyday, I have people harassing me and no one does anything about it. I got told to kill myself a lot of times and it put me in a really bad state.

But I came back stronger. I’ve got 5 friends who are with me through everything and I came out to my mum. She’s way more supportive than I thought she’d be! So, I’m lesbian! AND IM PROUD! 😌

Thank you for making all of this possible. YOU gave me the courage to come out, Dodie. YOU helped me through everything. And I will forever be in your favour. Thank you. Lots of love.
A rainbow... <3

Julianna P thank you 😌 knowing I’m not alone in any of this is very comforting 😊💘


don’t mind me crying to this song for the 1000th time


My emotions are now as straight as I am<br>(Like a strand of cooked spaghetti)

My emotions are now as straight as I am
(Like a strand of cooked spaghetti)


Ohmygods????? Please put this on Spotify!!!


The first time I listened to this, I burst into tears. I can't even explain how much this song makes me ache inside, how much I understand every line. Homophobia makes me so angry and emotional and this is the first time I've listened to a song about being LGBTQ+ that has really captured how much it hurts to be told that you are not what you are by somebody who doesn't know your mind. This is my new favourite song, thank you for writing this Dodie, you're a complete icon and role model for our community.


When im so used to feeling wrong well it makes me feel alright


My bi heart hurt when you said " It was getting hard to navigate when every map was never made for me". It's hard being told I'm selfish or a step back for the community sometimes for liking girls and boys. But I've always found refuge in you and your music dodie. Thank you x.


What are the chords to this?! I wanna learn on uke.


My trans self is crying at 2am 💛💛 “I’d like to think you’d miss it / cause so would I” hit me SO HARD gah


you don't upload anymore :( plz make more music like this <3


Is this a game you are playing? The "Let's try to impress a bi teen and make him cry over his boring/heteronormative life" game.
Jokes aside, you really did something special with this masterpiece. It's 2:43 in Italy, keep an ear on the window so you can hear my tears of joy and sadness. Love you from the bottom of my heart


This hurts.
"Its getting hard to navigate when every map was never made for me."
I'm not bi.
I'm not questioning my sexuality.
Its my gender. And this line made me cry.


Y'all i actually broke the replay button 😂<br>I kept starting it over so I could draw to it and YouTube legit closed out on me 😂

Oh my god thanks for understanding Dodie like especially during pride month the lgbt community received a lot of hate and I was just dumbfounded at how awful people can be. Keep making great music, I love you >v<


I can't believe u only have over a million subs u deserve so ooooooooooooooooooooo much more! I love ur channel!!! ❤💛💚💙💜


wish i could get youre music on a vinyl =O


I love the Fact that my school has a Pride Party at the start of July every year, so its not during pride month. I just love this Idea especially as if your not open or confident about your sexuality you can bring  a Heterosexual friend and no one needs to know which one is what and its just a full out fun time


you’re such an inspiration to me dodie <3 I’m Bisexual as well and I was too scared to come out to my parents. But after watching your videos I finally got up the courage to tell them. They  took it well and accepted me :)


this is just so beautiful and profound and important


Dodie lately I have been SO into rainbows and I am SO into you and THIS is the best thing that has happened to me all week and- thank you :)<br>june has been pretty bad for me and you make it all worth while

The chorus literally has me in tears. It explains perfectly why pride is important. <br>“But to say that I’m a rainbow. To tell me that I’m bright. When I’m so used to feeling wrong. Well it makes me feel alright” ☺

You should submit this song to Grace Vanderwaal's contest!!!


i relate to the lyric so much and i'm even straight.


Hi Dodie, i just want to say thanks a million for sharing your video and thought. You don't know how much it helps me get through my difficult days dived in my depression (i'm an asexual and you can imagine how hard it is) To think that i'm not the only one who would feel that way and your heart-touching songs always reach my feeling and cheer me up. if you are feeling down, please cheer up! You are great and you are worth to receive love from everyone!

Love ya


I'm still confused with my sexuallity. I'm not sure if I'm demi bisexual or asexual and biromantic. I told my mom and two of my friends I'm demi bisexual but I'm still not sure and I think I came out too early. I also feel like I don't really fit in. I'm a teenager and I feel like a lot of people are getting into relationships and kissing and cuddling and I'm just kinda confused. I feel like I should be sexually attracted to people but I'm not. And I know that's ok but I still feel misplaced.

Thank you for this lovely song Dodie!
 I always listen to your songs if I'm sad. You make everything easier.
Thank you.
❤💛💚💙💜

Update: I wrote this a week ago and today I read the comments. Thank you. Thank you all so so much. Reading your lovely, supportive comments while listning to dodies calming voice made me cry. I wish I could meet you all and just sit down and drink te and talk. Talk about life, love, everything that we're going through. Giving eachother advice. I want to hug all of you and the fact that I can't kinda hurts. You made me realise that I'm not alone, and I don't have to know everything now. I'll figure it out someday. Until then, I'm gonna live my life doing the things that I love.

Thank you❤🏳🌈

Claire McGuire <br>Awww! Thank you! Here's a virtual hug from me <3

Claire McGuire
Awww! Thank you! Here's a virtual hug from me <3

so i commented on this earlier but i wanted to reply again because i just read your update and here’s a virtual hug <3 it’s not quite the same as being in person but i wanted to do something haha

I am literally going through the exact same thing! We’ll get through this. There is no need for us to rush and label ourselves. Be true to you, even if you can’t find a label for it🏳🌈😊

I can't fit all my fandoms into one name! I am in the same boat, I understand! Good luck figuring yourself out!

I can't fit all my fandoms into one name! I am Demi bi it’s hard to know until you find the right person though 💛

I did the same thing. Years ago, I came out to my family as pansexual, but I still wasn't sure. I thought that maybe I was asexual, too. I had a whole pie chart of my "sexual percentages," even. :) Now, I've come out as lesbian--and that's ok. It's ok to not know or understand your sexuality/gender identity immediately. For some people it hits them on the head, and for others it doesn't. So I just want to let you know that if you come out later as anything else, it's ok. It doesn't mean you lied. It doesn't mean you were pretending. Your orientation is still valid. Sometimes it just takes a while to figure things out.

I’m in the exact same situation! Like literally exact same situation! Remember that somewhere across the world, you’ll always have me your twin! In the exact same dilemma!

Y'know, I kind of feel the exact same. I'm questioning asexual aromantic, b/c all my friends and everyone else seems to be havong crushes and kissing and I'm over here in the corner not having a legitimate crush on anyone since like, 2nd grade. I also do not understand sexual desire at all. What is it? What does it feel like? Have I unkoeingly felt it before? But I don't want to confirm anything, because, I'm still quite young  actually. When school starts up again I'm going to br a fresshman. Like I said, young. But I also have friends and other people who have their identies figured out, and I'm just confused in the corner. For all I know, I'm actually just straight, but I also cpuld be something else, so, as of now, I'm just letting life run it's course and hoping that it will all figure it's self out one day.

You have all the time on the world to figure it out. Don’t feel like you have to have it all figured out right now.

Don't try to rush it, there's no need to put a label on it. You'll know when you like someone. :)

this is crazy because what you just said fits perfectly with my own life. I've always struggled with my sexuality, and have hated for years how I seem to have no attraction to people (either for the opposite sex or the same etc) and have always felt as if there is something wrong with me bc of it. Is it because my ideal "perfect partner" is ruined bc of my high expectations from books and films??
idek.
But anyway, I feel you gal. It's tough. But my friends always tell me that labels do.not.matter. And they really don't. Try not to put yourself into one category and instead let it be and see what happens :))

Me too... pan or bi?? Like I can’t tell...

I can't fit all my fandoms into one name! Don't worry, you really don't have to feel sexually attracted to anyone. And even IF you "have come out too early", I feel like if maybe later you feel different and you (want to) identify different, I'm sure that if people accept you for coming out now, they will understand later.

As a bisexual I do not know what it's like to not be sexually attracted but I TOTALLY accept everyone and I don't just say that I really do. And this sounds really cheesy but it's true it helped me too, don't try to rush or force it. Just let puberty happen and you'll figure it out. And even if you don't, please don't make TOO big of a deal out of it and accept yourself. Maybe accepting yourself and even be proud of yourself is more difficult than to have other people understand/accept it. I mean if others don't accept you, you can avoid and ignore them. But your own thoughts are always there.

I grew up too quickly I'm only 14 years old lmao
But yeah I'm bi
NOT JUST A PHASE OK I KNOW IT FOR SURE

I am 22 soon 23 and I have absolutely no idea, but for now I am trying to see if i am simply straight, bi-ace, demi-ace or just, idk, a balloon. Man it is not always easy

I can't fit all my fandoms into one name! You’ll figure it out! Just remember, you don’t need to put a label too your sexuality. U can just be you.

Don't rush things. Take as much time as you need, you don't necessarily need labels ❤

I came out as lesbian, then I thought I was bi and now I identify as demisexual panromantic. Labels change, you change, and the way you view yourself changes a lot as well. As long as you're being yourself, the label doesn't matter ❤

You didn't come out too early!You are 100% allowed to change your labels as you see fit, because it is you and you are exploring yourself and you do not need to know yourself 100% yet-or ever really. Your feelings about sexual attraction could change as you get older, or they may stay the same. Don't feel pressured to put a label on yourself at all if you don't want to or don't feel like any label truly defines you- some people (like me) feel better with labels, but there are plenty of people that prefer not to label themselves! DO what's best for you, and forget what everyone else is feelings, and thinking, and wanting. You are an individual and you have your own wants and desires, and whether those wants and desires match up to other people's is not important. It's important that you feel safe and happy with whatever you decide. You can always try to find some people in the ace community online! That might help with the misplaced feeling a little bit. <3

Girl don't worry you don't have to label yourself you can just say queer or say nothing love is love

It takes time to figure yourself out. I have several friends in their twenties who have yet to have their first serious relationships. These days it's challenging, so don't rush yourself or feel pressured to identify with a label.

It's okay to be confused, and it's okay to change your mind! 100%. I know it can be scary because you're still figuring yourself out, but it's okay to not know. You have plenty of time.

I can't fit all my fandoms into one name! Don't feel like you have to rush the process of 'understanding yourself' because the truth is, it takes a long time, sometimes even infinite time. Don't feel like you have to have a preconceived concrete definition of 'you' to hand out to everyone you meet like business cards. You're complicated. You're beautiful. You're wonderful, and one day you'll understand yourself, and if that day is not today, that's okay ❤🧡💛💚💙💜

hey—i’m asexual as well, and it’s okay to come out multiple times. if you explain that you were/are still figuring yourself out people understand. sexuality is a hard thing to figure out and i still struggle with mine. and you’re right, it’s okay to not want a relationship but there are people like you out there. it can feel lonely sometimes but i promise you’ll find people like you where you live and you’re not alone :)

It can definitely be tough to be in that situation, but I'm glad you know that there's nothing wrong with any of it -- with being bi or ace or uncertain or any of it. There's nothing wrong with taking a label that feels like it fits even if you're not sure, and there's nothing wrong with changing that label if you later find it doesn't fit. You weren't faking or lying or going through a phase; you were in the process of learning more about yourself.

Personally, I identified as demiheterosexual for several years, but now I mostly identify as "¯\_(ツ)_/¯ who the fuck knows." I thought I was probably straight (though I had always kind of wondered about the girls I'd admired so intensely, if those were actually ~crushes) and then I started getting feelings for a close female friend (at least, I think I have feelings for her? It's hard to tell because I've never been in a proper relationship, and it feels so different from the other crushes I've had). Maybe I'm ace and something-romantic, maybe I'm demi, maybe I'm cupio, I don't know, and I've found a lot of strength in being okay with that. I hope you can someday find that strength too.

I can't fit all my fandoms into one name! Don't push yourself too hard. You will figure it out with time and there is no need to do things you don't want to. I am also a teenager and in my class everyone has or had a relationship. Meanwhile I am there as a bisexual who has never had a relationship nor do I feel attracted to anyone there. That doesn't stop me from doing my best and living my life to the fullest ( well as much as school allows it XD ). What I am trying to say is that you shouldn't feel obligated to do or feel things that you don't want to do or don't have. Just be you and be proud of who you are because you are valid and loved no matter your sexuality, race, gender or religion.


Okay wait wait wait. I might actually sing this for my school’s variety show


This song represents me, this song is important. (And tbh this song is cute as heck)


One of my goals in life is to make Dodie sing Dying in LA by P!ATD and then i have to do all my other goals until there is no more reason to actually continue this life


dorothy miranda clark, you are a rainbow. you are bright. <br>you make every single one of /us/ feel alright and don't you ever forget it.

dorothy miranda clark, you are a rainbow. you are bright.
you make every single one of /us/ feel alright and don't you ever forget it.


I fucking love this and I love you I am crying


It’s bad cause I relate to this so much, my school isn’t the best at LGBTQ stuff but I’m bi so it’s been a lot because I get loads of comments like oh I’m sitting on a fence and I’m half straight and I’m doing it for attention but I love this song so much


that chorus is honestly so beautiful and uplifting. i’m not lgbt+ so i have no idea what anyone who is goes through but this song sort of puts me into perspective. your works are sunshine, love you dodie ♥


wow it's 1:15 am and im crying good times


...I'm hearing the chords in the verse, and I all I can hear is "This was a triumph... I'm making a note here huge success."

Real talk though, beautiful song. I had to grab my bass and play along with it :L


Are you ok?<br>You seem sad, just know we all have your back

Are you ok?
You seem sad, just know we all have your back


This is the source of my restoration of hope for humanity


How can I be proud of what millions of people shout at me I’m not 😭💔😭


a year and a half ago, “secret for the mad” came out and it brought me to tears. the line “itll all make sense again” really hit home bc i was questioning my sexuality and fearing judgement from my parents and the church. i was extremely terrified and my future was so uncertain but that line gave me hope. since then ive found amazing people that loved me and supported me, despite my doubts. fast forward to now, i came out to my parents before the pride parade. it actually went really well. at the parade, seeing all the rainbows and flags and people made me feel so at home, so comforted. im so thankful for the past two yearsish for learning to love myself, finding a supportive community, and feeling accepted by everyone around me. so i thank you dodie for giving me that glimmer of hope a year and a half ago (and look at me now!), and for creating such beautiful music that resonates w so many people so deeply ❤


"some helplines if this song hurts a lot" Aw. I love that.


those knuckle cracks, but this songggg <3333


I'm so excited to get some lgbtq+ content

I definitely agree also love the profile picture i cant help but think of fronk gerd moikey and raymond when i hear this

Yesss 🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈

Yesss 🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈


even though this is a song for lgbqt. I perceive it for me more of who i am as a person. People always judged me of my personality and just my weirdness and how i see the world. Though finally i have new better people in my life so this song really speaks to me. Thank u Dodie ❤


I’m so unsocial that during your tour, I was there and during rainbow, I got a sick feeling from all of the commotion, and had to go outside for a moment and get a breath of fresh air and water. I hate that I missed the song. 😞


I’m not gay or bi but this song is so sweet and amazing and I’m amazed at all of the awesome people in the lgbtq+  who are confident in happy with who they are! Y’all rock


this song is really uplifting, and puts into words a feeling i couldn’t describe before i heard it. thank you.


When I came out to my mum as bi (I have now found out I’m pan) she said I wasn’t and to name a famous girl I liked. It hurt. She has only now excepted I’m bi (she thinks pansexual isn’t a thing) because I had talked to a girl. And don’t get me started on being gender fluid.


I was brought up in a line
But I seem to walk in circles
It's getting hard to navigate
When every map was never made for me

I thought it would feel good
To understand why I was different
But my title just talks over me
I never even asked to be this way

But to say that I'm a rainbow
To tell me that I'm bright
When I'm so used to feeling wrong
Well, it makes me feel all right

I didn't think it fair
I was not to be trusted
How can I be proud of
What a million people shout at me I'm not

So please step inside my soul
I'd love to watch you gasp
You'd understand in minutes
And I'd like to think you'd miss it
Cause so would I

But to say that I'm a rainbow
To tell me that I'm bright
When I'm so used to feeling wrong
Well, it makes me feel all right

So say that I'm a rainbow
And tell me that I'm bright
When I'm so used to feeling wrong
Well, it makes me feel all right


Why are you so talented I'm really really hecking jealous


Thank you dodie. I’ve gone through this pain, been called names. My title talks over me is so true.
No one thinks that i’m a good friend or could be because of my ‘title’, bisexual.
I love this song, and many lgbtq+ can relate, because i know i can. Again, thank you so much dodie.


Could you add this to like itunes and google play and spotify and stuff please? This is amazing and sksknskssksksk i neeed


It’s killing me that I can’t buy this song on itunes


I knew I was bisexual ever since I liked someone. She was a girl in my class, and she never liked me back, but after a while we managed to be friends again. I fell in love with another girl who was a year older than me, she was going to a new school and I thought I would never see her again. Then in late October, she texted me and said she liked me. A couple months later in February we went on a date. I always felt happy with her but my bisexuality and relationship with her was always a secret with my parents. I could never go to pride. I don't think i ever will.
I feel so many emotions as I am leaving my school, and the feelings just hit me right here, watching this video. What will happen to the friendships I've made? What will happen to the memories and will I ever see them again?
I feel so closed up and numb that I don't know what to do.
I want to be a rainbow.
I want to be bright.

But thats what I hope to be.

Edit: omg HI this came up in my recommended again and youtube notifs are being mean lmao anyways
I did go on dates with my girlfriend a few times but the whole not being out thing and different schools and such got to me and i kinda lost interest in the relationship shit happens like that, sometimes you dont get the ending you wanted but its ok ^-^ im sad but im happy i experienced love for the first time in my life and im grateful for all of it
Im still not out to my parents, but i learned to embrace my sexuality and be more open about it, and some friendships have been lost but c'est la vie
But after a few years of struggles  i can finally say yes,
i am a rainbow and i am bright. I hope you can shine too <3
happy pride everyone🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈

TWO YEARS later i didnt even know PEOPLE REPLIED TO THIS hold on its update time

I know what wanting to be proud but too scared. I was once told that I shouldn't go to pride bec I wasn't out yet. I'm still not out. It sucks

Don't worry. Just be who you are, and stay around the people that love and accept you. Those are the people that you need to stay with. Coming out to your parents is a huge thing! It takes a lot of stranth (idc if I spelled it wrong) and
courage! You should never feel pressured into coming out. If they don't agree with it at first, that's okay. Something like this takes a lot of patience.
But they will come around.
Lots of love! 🏳🌈❤
~ Michael Lee

katy2fairy you still have such a long path ahead of you. There is so much time to figure everything out. You will be okay. Much love to you on this journey.


I’m 13 and I feel like even though I know full well that I like girls i feel like I’m “too young” to be able to say I’m queer and that my age somehow invalidates my sexuality.


hello all happy pride month! im here to say that if your version of pride month doesnt include cishet aro/aces, youre doing it wrong!


this kinda sounds like a beatles song and I love it


this video brought me to tears. i love you so much dodie. in 2015 i started to question my sexuality. i’ve been so ashamed of liking girls and boys. i was extremely suicidal because of this and many other reasons. but since then, i’ve been getting less ashamed and more PROUD. especially this month, i’ve worn a rainbow bracelet and because there has been so much positivity, i’ve been coming out to myself and to my friends. next step is to come out to my parents; not ready quite yet. but i will be.

oh ps i have a baritone uke n
and i’m definitely gonna learn this song ❤❤❤❤


aww u have such a great ability to simplify the complex


So Sweet! I Came Out To My Family On July 1st, And  Almost Showed This To Them! They Are Not Proud Of Me Sadly.


Hey Dodie! I love your music! I was wondering... Can you please do a cover of Berlin by RY X? Thank you for spreading your message across the Earth!


the harmonies are sooo Beatlesy mdnfdss i loveeee this


Is this available on Spotify because I can’t find it and I’m not sure what to type up x


omg dodie this is such a emotional inspiring song not to mention your im bi song is my favorite bc i like how much positivity in what you are and that makes me share your music to as many people as i can to spread your message of awareness and self acceptance. :)<3


I relate to this song and it made me cry hard because we have dodie as a person putting out art like this,, at a time when me and so many need it most. Happy Pride ❤🧡💛💚💙💜


Dodie what angel sent you down to earth because honestly everything about your music is just HEAVENLyyy


i’ve lost count of how many times in a row i’ve watched this by now lmfao


the perfect close to pride month <3 ty dodie


Can you please put this on Apple Music?? I need to be able to listen to it during school and when I’m feeling sad.


i love your nose. this song makes my gay soul happy.


I relate to this so much. Everything happened to me so fast and I came out to people almost right after I started questioning and my life has changed so quickly while I'm still trying to catch up and understand.


i've been seeing so much ace hate recently and really needed this


I used her song to come out as bi, but then after a year I realised that I was a lesbian. I've been going out with a once close friend of mine and she said" I love you "on the phone, my mum heard and I have to lie about who I'm going to the shops with because she always speaks to me about my girlfriend like she's dog shit. It breaks my heart to know that even though there is barley any difference between loving men or women, that families can be separated because of LOVE?! It doesn't make any sense that because I happen to love someone who has a vagina, I'm different in a "bad way". I fucking hate society


listening to this, i did not even immediately associate it with the lgbtq+ community. i am bi, but it's not the only way i feel different/misunderstood. this song is beautiful, very simple but moving and it says a lot. thank you dodie.

@ chris: to me and when i first listened to it, (because i don't think there's only one meaning to the song, it depends on the person and the way it touches them) the song reminds me of school. how, not only is school  not adapted for everyone, but there is another depth to people, to children, than their ability to learn a lesson and get an A on the test, to do something because they were taught how to. real intelligence is being able to figure out things by yourself. to create, to discover, to see different perspectives. to think out of the box. unfortunately, this is not what school teaches us. but it's what i've always done anyways (= the first verse); along with understanding the school system and doing everything that, according to the system, leads to success. and this is where i find my meaning to the song dodie wrote: i've often been called 'bright' for being able to get perfect scores on tests, when all i'd done was tirelessly revising a history lesson i had no interest in or written a plain, ordinary essay following the methodolgy i learnt. but there is this idea of knowing i can pretend to fit in and have people admire what i'm able to do, and knowing i could do so much, and more than other people realise: i am rainbow. mutlicolour and multiskilled, versatile, resourceful. different, but in a good way.
i could go on and actually analyse the song and explain the meaning verse by verse, but you might not be interested in that :')
have a nice day! x

@ khonsu the core: this is a very meaningful expression, "it feels like nothing was made with me in mind". i really like it and i might not be the person who can relate to it the most, but it definitely touches me very deeply; and i think the first verse of the song says the same thing. i hope you're ok, if not right now, someday x

emma <br>Are you me? Those were my exact feelings until I read the description. (I'm pan though, but I like telling people that I'm bi. Wait that's a lie they all think I'm straight.)

emma
Are you me? Those were my exact feelings until I read the description. (I'm pan though, but I like telling people that I'm bi. Wait that's a lie they all think I'm straight.)

Same, I'm straight but I have severe ADHD and it feels like nothing was made with me in mind. So I just take that pain and try to use it to understand everyone and their pain.


I’m not even part of the lgbt+ community (but im a HUGE alli/supporter!!) and this made me tear up :,) dodie, you have such a beautiful way with words 🧡🧡


I love the way she says in the song that she feels different and wrong and scared but still knows that millions of people feel like this. I just discovered I’m bi, it’s hard to deal with when you feel so alone and you’re surrounded by homophobia. Idk I can relate so much


This might sound weird but I’ve been feeling sick for a couple of days now but for some reason this song made me feel better.


I don't want to be different, I don't want to be weird and have my love be seen as a spectacle, I don't want to have to hide, I don't want to struggle to find a relationship, I want to be fucking normal and it hurts me so badly that I'm not and I can't be


I had my first girl crush when I was 11-12. Her and I were really close friends and we were open about everything. She came out as bi first to me, and I wasn’t too sure if I was yet. I suddenly realized I wanted her as more than a friend and she was the first person I came out too. Sadly, she moved and our relationship ended. I still think about her and how sweet and kind she was to me, and how her smile was just gorgeous. About 2 years ago we went to the lake together for a week and I swear I fell in love with her all over again. Sadly she had a boyfriend at the time, and after I went back home from the lake we haven’t talked a lot since. We’re both in different relationships now but I still love her even if it’s more friendly feelings now than romantic.


I started crying within the first 30 seconds.


AHHHH DODIE STOP YOUR MAKING ME FEEL FEELINGS I DONT LIKE IT <b>cries in gay</b>

AHHHH DODIE STOP YOUR MAKING ME FEEL FEELINGS I DONT LIKE IT *cries in gay*


i am exhausted sitting in a starbucks in arizona and i would just like to say this song is bringing me back to life. i've loved you since social dance


The person that I kind of like sang this tonight. Ah okay kind of is an understatement. I REALLY like them and man this song made my heart flutter. When they sang it, I was like, “Ah they're singing a Dodie song!!” And I smiled the whole time while they sang.

(Edit: corrected pronouns since they have now come out as nonbinary ☺)


The performance of this in San Diego was breathtaking, helllo?


ScrubElite Even if she was, what's wrong with that?!?!?


so i was listening to this in the background of school work and all i heard was
"and id love to make you gasp"
and i..ok dodie


[Verse 1]
I was brought up in a line
But I seem to walk in circles
It’s getting hard to navigate
When every map was never made for me
I thought it would feel good
To understand why I was different
But my title just talks over me
I never even asked to be this way

[Chorus]
But to say that I’m a rainbow
To tell me that I’m bright
When I’m so used to feeling wrong
Well, it makes me feel all right

[Verse 2]
I didn’t think it fair
I was not to be trusted
How can I be proud of
What a million people shout at me I’m not
So please step inside my soul
I’d love to watch you gasp
You’d understand in minutes
Oh I’d like to think you’d miss it
Cause so would I


We should have a LGBTTQQIAAP pride year. I feel empty with my LGBTTQQIAAP pride gone for another 11 months.


Even though I'm LGBT+ as well,  I relate to this song more as being autistic


So beautiful and heartbreaking at the same time

Anastasia Sakharova awww.... You've change the direction of the.....YOU PURE SOUL😭


Use the helpline!!

I listened to this song without directly connecting it to lgbtq+ struggles. Then I read her description, and I immediately started crying. Iiiii listened to it twice more - whoops!

I have so much internalized shame. Just a couple days ago I watched Love Simon (a good) with my family and it brought up a lot of pent up emotion. I had a long talk with my parents and got the love and reassurance I needed. I’ve felt snippets of self-acceptance over the years, but I’m just beginning to see that pride is a possibility.

Anyway, I’m not in any immediate danger and I have people I can talk to but the links were pulling at me. Sophomore year, I was so close to using resources like that so many times, but I was always too scared. Don’t be. It’s okay. It’s a few minutes on the phone with someone you’ll never speak to again and it won’t do any harm and has the potential to bring about good. So even though I wasn’t in any dire situation, I let myself call the Trevor helpline, and I spent a couple minutes on hold but had a conversation I needed.

Don’t be afraid to surround yourself with support, whatever form that may take for you. Don’t doubt the love you deserve.

I rarely post on videos and I think this is super long and rambly but know that I love you if you are reading this and best of luck to you on your journey!


hihi dodie
i just finished reading your book secrets for the mad.
as a fourteen year old girl who was recently diagnosed with anxiety and depression, it is p r e c i s e l y what i need
thank you for sharing your stories and experiences :D


I absolutely would love it if you would tour in Detroit💟💟💟 love you so much, dodie


Dodie thank you so much for this song. I recently came out to my mom as a lesbian and she said she was okay with it but then turned around and told my whole family (they’re all Muslim and, sadly, very homophobic) and I’ve felt so alone this past week. Thank you for this wonderful bit of happiness at the end of Pride. Stay strong ♥ and remember that when Pride month ends, we all continue to be proud of you and how far you’ve come and the wonderful person that you’ve become. So once again, thank you.

When you have no one, remember we are all here to listen and lend you a shoulder to lean on ❤

im so sorry you have to go through that. i hope your family supports you some day <3

Lexi Clugh you aren’t alone. Be strong. We love you. 🏳🌈🏳🌈🏳🌈❤


DODIE YOU SHOULD COVER A BILLIE EILISH SONGGGG


Why doesn't dodie write songs for Steven Universe?


I know this was for pride month but I took it a bit differently. And it describes me a lot as a person, and instead of being LGBT it's my anxiety. And I like the way I understand it.


Listening to this while reading secrets for the mad is bliss


dodie you have such a beautiful way with writing words and melodies that are touching and express the meaning and emotions of the song, reaching out to your audience. I have been a fan of you and your work for years and absolutely love your development as both a musician and person. I can't wait to see what the future holds for you on your journey. thank you for being such a huge inspiration for me and making me smile. stay true to yourself, love 💕


dodie, could you tell us the chords to this song?


WE NEED DODIE TO VOICE THE NEXT DISNEY PRINCESS!!!!!


thank you thank you thank you for putting down helplines


You are amazing
You are beautiful
You are valid
You are accepted
You. Are. Loved.

Please everyone remember this, you all have so many people who care about you. I mean, speak a word to me or just have a one word or conversation with me and I would love you already, because Everyone deserves to be loved, happy, and have confidence in themselves, because you are you, and we love you for that


It's pride month in 8 mins so crying over this lol


dodie you make me cryyy thank you this helps me a lot since I'm bi


I’m pansexual and agender which are both identities often ignored and I’ve been having troubles with my parents so this song really touched me. Thanks Dodie. ❤

Jay Wachtel I’m really sorry if this is offensive/ignorant, but are non-binary and agender the same?


So exited to see you live in Hollywood!!!!!!!😊


Pride month is always because you can always be proud and you should be


this is such a beautiful song dodie. i love it to bits. basically every word and lyric was a feeling i had when before i came out and found out who i was. it’s so bittersweet. amazing work 💛💛💛


I should go hang out with my friend next Friday, I'll try to come out to her. I want her to be the first person to know this. Wish me luck....


i really needed one of your videos right now.
i just found out that all of my “friends” are at a trailer without me that they specifically lied about doing.

thanks

Rachel Projects np, if that's what helps you then you join as many fricken clubs as u want

I AM YOUR FRIEND NOW GET RID OF THE OTHERS ❣❣❣❤❣❤❣❤❤❣

Ronni Potts thanks sm, i’ve mostly just given up on friends at this point and am just joining a shit ton of clubs so i don’t have to deal with people

Rachel Projects girl/boy/non-gender-specific drop your " friends" ASAP. If they all collectively lied right to your face don't stoop to their level and get some new friends. Show them what a fab person you are without them!
.
.
.
I don't know if this helped my advice is basically exit the friend group and find some better more loyal friends ❤❤

Rachel Projects I’m so sorry, that always hurts *sends virtual hugs*💛


it sounds like the humming in the new video HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

Hey, If you have a moment and might fancy something arty, I’ve just put up a video where I draw a cover for this song 🙏🙏


Frick I love this, this is actually fabulous


me watching this after 100 times: AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD sob FEeL gOoD sob

me watching this after 100 times: AND I THOUGHT IT WOULD *sob* FEeL gOoD *sob*


i made a big mistake last weekend and probably ruined a  very unique relationship. and i'm trying to find comfort in your music.


‘You’d understand in minutes, I’d like to think you’d miss it, because so would I.’ 💙💗⚪💗💙


My town doesnt teach us about being anything other than straight. I've tried to speak and scream about more than one option, but every time I try I get silenced. Nobody listens because they don't want to listen. I don't know what I am anymore because I've had one view shoved down my throat for so many years.
I feel like this song is a home for a lot of people,
I'm glad to say I'm one of them.
Happy pride, everybody. I hope you guys are all okay :)

Maz Field the same goes for you! i hope you're okay as well ❤💛💚💙💜


I just cried in the shower for a while about not knowing how I could be proud of being bisexual when everyone around me thinks it’s wrong. I got out and decided to watch some videos and get my mind off of it. I love dodie and just seeing this video and hearing this song made me feel like I shouldn’t be ashamed of who I am. Thank you for the boost in confidence dodie. Thank you for making your channel a safe place for me and so many others.


i saw this notification and my face lit up


Can you please make a website with how to play all your songs and mashups. I love them so much and want to play them but can't find many websites with my favorite songs from you


to leslie, can I just kiss and love you? you're so smol and your small grins make my heart leap. I love you homie


AHHH! Are you crying? because I'm crying. DODIE THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.

HELL YES I'M A RAINBOW confetti guns and flower petals

AHHH! Are you crying? because I'm crying. DODIE THIS IS BEAUTIFUL.

HELL YES I'M A RAINBOW *confetti guns and flower petals*


My grandmother sang me this song when I was little, but she died (crying)


I need a playback or a karaokê of that's music<br>Sorry for the english, Hello from brazil❤❤

I need a playback or a karaokê of that's music
Sorry for the english, Hello from brazil❤❤


Today I told a girl, a friend of mine, I love her. She said she knew, because another mine not-so-friend now, that I told some time ago, told it to my almost every friend, so I was exactly the only one who didn't know. And, anyway, the girl I love doesn't have any feelings for me, so... Yeah.

I'm sorry to hear that, i'm sure you will find someone else, who loves you! :)


I love this song already oh man. I've been struggling a lot with my sexuality as of late and I don't know I just feel kinda comforted listening to this. It's so beautiful and ugh I've just been listening to it on repeat. Thank you dodie for putting yourself out there and making this lgbtq+ content that so many people need to see and hear


dose any body else feel like they need a hug after this song


How????!!!!........It's to beautiful for this world


this song is such a warm song
as a straight ally
on behalf of all the straight people
i feel so
so awful
about our history with a beautiful legacy.

excuse me while i cry


<b>PETITION FOR DODIE TO VOICE A DISNEY PRINCESS</b>

*PETITION FOR DODIE TO VOICE A DISNEY PRINCESS*


Awwwwww💕💕💕 Dodie you just write the most beautiful lyrics ever😭😭😭


I didnt really come out to my step mom the way I wanted to
She asked me one day if i liked boys and i said i didnt knwo ans she proceeded to question me
A few hours later she came into my room and told me that she would accept me and that I should tell my dad
I refused to tell my dad and she walked out
A few minutes later she walked back in and told me that it was wrong to like girls and it was against the bible to do so and made me feel like shit because she wouldnt accept me
Another few hours passed and she told me that she ttold my dad and that he does not accept me either
They got into an argument (unrelated to the topic) and my step mom kept saying "your daughter has a secret that shes keeping from you" although it was true, it was very rude of her to do that and , that's my story of how o came out to my step mom/parents
I'm pretty sure they forget lol


this is absolutely gorgeous. im actually in the process of coming out to my friends and i’m going through a bad mental health period, but this really did lift me up tonight. thank you, dodie ❤❤❤

kelsey hey fren! youve got this! i know how scary coming out is, but im proud of you for being brave and i believe in you! 💕


it took me so long to understand and admit to myself that i am lesbian. every line of this song i felt but specifically
“i was brought up in the line, but i seem to walk in circles”
“i thought it would feel good to understand why i was different”
“my title just talks over me, i never even asked to be this way”
“how can i be proud of what a million people shout at me? i’m not”

i went through many different phases of labels thinking that hey at least i’m not fully gay so it’s not as bad, because that was a bad thing in my mind. now i’m happy and comfortable in my life and with the people i’ve chosen to share my sexuality with.


Indiana is a hard state to be gay in. It affects your family, your job, your education, your relationships...<br>I just wish my boyfriend and I could hold hands in public or his parents would tell him they loved him again.

another dodie song. Another piece in history.


"how can I be proud of what a million people shout at me I'm not"


I wish I mean as much to someone as Dodie means to me...

Musella There's always someone who will love you and care about you through thick and thin. Even more likely that you're someone's all, and that you mean everything to them. Friends, family, lovers. You're surrounded by people who adore you and never forget it :)

This is such a beautiful song, I'm not part of the LGBTQ+ but I am a supporter. This song is so moving and the chords are so <i>pretty</i> ? (If that's the word to describe it) and Dodie's voice is just 😍. To top it all off, the comment section is just the cutest. It's all peaceful and I love seeing everyone getting along with one another. There may actually be hope in this world 😊

I'm literally over here crying oh noooooo. ouch just... ouch.


This is beautiful Dodie. I'm a closeted bisexual girl. I told a few people, and I even have a girlfriend, but it's still hard. I ran into someone who wasn't as excepting of LGBTQ a few weeks ago and that's when it really became a reality for me. I hope that one day that I (and other people like me) will feel proud and open of who they are. Love from New York <33


I discovered when I was 6 or 7 years old so I guess in the future I'd be glad to say I grew up with your music


Will you please do waving through a window from dear even Hansen?!


wow i can't believe dodie invented the color spectrum


I relate to this song mainky bc of my Aspergers and my sexuality but I was wondering what the chords are so I can play it if that's okay👉👈😊


PUT THIS ON SPOTIFY AND PANDORA!! Nsjshshsjshssbb


I so wish I could have come out to my mother this month. I wish that I didn't have to be so scared that telling her 'I like girls' would ruin our relationship.<br>Thank you for the beautiful song. It helped me realise that maybe I should just push past my fear of losing someone so dear to a thing I cant control.

Thank you for the beautiful song. It helped me realise that maybe I should just push past my fear of losing someone so dear to a thing I cant control.

You don’t need a month you have your whole life . Don’t rush yourself just do it when it feels right . You will know when the time is right :)

Abby Crowley i was in the same situation about a year ago and i was terrified of coming out and ruining my relationship with my parents, but i did it, and i believe in you!


dodie im crying because this is just s o o true.


Thank you for this dodie, you taught me to love myself as I am and that it is okay for me to gay🏳🌈❤


I was brought up in the lime
But I seem to walk in circles
It's getting hard to navigate
When every map was never made for me

And I thought it would feel good
To understand why I was different
But my title just talks over me
I never even asked to be
This way

But to say that
I'm a rainbow
To tell me that I'm bright
I'm so used to feeling wrong
Well, it makes me feel alright.

I think think it fair
I was not to be trusted
How can I be proud
Of what a million people shout at me
I know

So please step into my soul
I'd love to watch you gasp
You'd understand in minutes
And I'd like to think you'd miss it
Because so would I

But to say that
I'm a rainbow
To tell me that I'm bright
When I'm so used to feeling wrong
well it makes me feel alright

So say that I'm a rainbow
And tell me that I'm bright
When I'm so used to feeling wrong
Well it makes me feel alright


How. Am. I. Just. Finding. Your. Channel.


i'm not lgbtq+ but i have many friends who are. i am in love with this song, its so cute and accepting, and it gives me hope for the world. i just want to say the i am i huge supporter and that i really admire all of you. i'm so sorry that you guys have to be put through so much pain and sorrow just because of who you love. i hope you know that you are loved, and there is someone out there for each and every one of you. i believe that people should love people, not labels or genders. despite all the hate in the world, i am so glad that there is this little corner of happiness that dodie can provide for us. love you all!!!


I like rainbows, they remind me of lucky charms, which reminds me of milk, which also reminds me of cows. I really like cows 🥣🥛🐮👌🏼


With this we declare the month of rainbows and pride etc. continues in July pass it on


I grew up in a very religious community that wasn't accepting of LGBTQ+ people. I've always told myself I'm straight, even though at around 14 I started having thoughts and feelings that made me question my sexuality. I'm 21 now and only just realized a few months ago that I'm bi.

I just wanted to thank you so much for being so open about your experiences with coming to terms with being bi. It's been incredibly helpful for me to identify so strongly with someone else because I've had so few people to discuss this with. Because of you I no longer feel so confused and ashamed and alone. This song is absolutely beautiful and has made me cry buckets. You're such a lovely person. Thank you for everything Dodie <3


I know the song is intended to be about lgbtq but I cried during this song for a conpleatly difrent reson if you coulnd already tell by my spelling I'm dyslexic and have hdhd I've always felt stupid and so difrent from everyone around me it's always been hard making stilly mistakes with wrighting and spelling I can't hide the fact I wrote that b backwards I've had the rare teachers who called me bright and even tho I know they couldn't say otherwise without getting fired it sticks with me I'm bright I don't have to be dull in everyones eyes theres nothing wrong with me I'm just a pen in a library you can't read me but I can help you create somthing. I know that's probly not what this song was intended for at all but it really made me feel happy about being ok with the brain I was given. thanks for wrighting this beautyful song


This past year I came out as trans and this perfectly captured what it felt like to be accepted by friends when my family could never. And going to pride with my new family and wearing my flag proudly.


this song is so hard to hear, as someone who's never felt internal shame because of my sexuality. i love my label and i'm so proud of who i am and who i love, that i can hardly bear to hear someone say "i never even asked to be this way". just my take on the song


<b>i never even asked to be this way</b>


wow the eight line really hits close to home


This is amazing, I’m still not out to my parents but I came out to my friends a few months ago. It’s been hard but they have all accepted who I am, this song gives me so much hope💕🏳🌈 🌈


the lyrics are beautiful but i felt like this wasn’t your best one dodie. there was something missing unfortunately


Dear Dodie, you may never see this but I just want to say your soul is beautiful and your mind is wonderful. Your lyrics are our homes that shelter us from insults, negativity and numbness. Your music gives us the words we wish to shout out loud. You made me realise to accept myself and to be proud of who I am. Thank you and we.. I LOVE YOU SO MUCH💛


Your songs and lyrics are always so so pretty, but i really think you should amp up the volume of your uke (or instrumental in general), idk if its just me  but i often have a hard time hearing the music in your songs, like in this one it has such pretty chords but i cant hear them well :( and i now its your style but i think that  would make everything sound even nicer!


This song is so perfect not only to the lgbt+ community but to anyone who feels lost. This song makes me feel because I’m always trying to be be something I can’t I just feel broken. But not because of any reason I can seem so find I’m just always lost and this song makes me feel hopeful which is doming I can’t find in my life anymore...

I love you Dodie you are my rainbow.


Is there anyone here who’s figured out the strumming pattern please you’re not what we deserve but you’re the hero we need


Could u do a sad version of would you be so kind pleeeeease?


<b>hugs</b> I can’t say anything to you that will mean anything Dodie, but I just want you to know I’m sending you a hug. For everything you struggle with, and how you use those struggles to make the rest of us feel less alone.

This song has had be thinking a lot lately because I usually just don’t even think about my sexuality. Like I know I have things to think about when it comes to that but I’ve been living this very lazy carefree life so far. Avoiding the serious things because I’m afraid and it sucks because I know I need to confront my feelings


This is so important, thank you. I always here people complain about pride being ‘unnecessary’ and ‘too much’ and I think this says exactly why it’s so important and cherished by so many people


also if you dont put this on ur setlist ill cry again


Dose anybody know what type of ukulele she’s playing? If it is a ukulele I’m not completely sure lol


everytime you sing a harmony i get so warm inside


This is truly a brilliant song that you have composed. Not only does it highlight the importance of the pride flag, as said in the description, it also just shows the feeling of not fitting in and feeling different that everyone experiences through in life. Amazing song dodie!!!!


as a girl who is also bisexual and has been a fan of yours for over two years now, i can say that this is another job well done! you never cease to amaze us <3


These lyrics. Your voice. This song is incredible. There are so many people who feel this way, including myself. Thank you for putting your heart out there.


I just hope everyone who is a part of this community knows that they're completely valid and that there's nothing wrong with them for being...well, them.


Love it, you should be proud!

See what I did there?


'Please step inside my sould
I'd love to watch you gasp'

You're so beautiful. That's just it. Beautiful.
