the flow of this song seems so calm but there’s panicky undertones and i feel it in my bones. this is beautiful dodie

That describes me so so well <br>*seems calm but has panicky undertones

That describes me so so well
*seems calm but has panicky undertones

"theres panicky undertones and i feel it in my bones" haha that rhymes :D

the disjointed "what do I do" part mannn


don't know if this is unrelated but it sucks how twitter is one of the most reliable sources of information? people tweet stuff we don't see on the news, we get to speak even if we feel that our words reach no one, we have a chance to spread awareness. i don't know where i'm exactly going when i started writing this comment but yeah hope you're getting what i'm tryna say

@One Two Three Incorporated Fair enough! And 100% agree with the second paragraph

Twitter is one of the most reliable sources? My god I weep for this generation...

@Dror Frid Wiki doesnt help when trying to find out if its safe to go to your local protest, or things that are happening in the moment. Thats what people should be using twitter for, not info on larger topics. News doesnt report shit, so we have to rely on social medias to get info

The fact that twitter has stories that they don't talk about in the news doesn't mean it's credible. FACT CHECK USING WIKIPEDIA. Wikipedia is actually a really reliable source.

@gorak9000 quite a lot actually- both in terms of mood and action. I follow a lot of activists, politicians, authors, journalists... especially when referring to Scottish politics, this really allows you to organise and rally.

And the news is constantly censoring stuff, tik tok was my source of protest stuff bc I don't have Twitter, but now tik tok is deleting videos with "guns" in them, mostly police handling rubber bullet guns

@Katy And how much of this information, even only considering the reliable info, directly affects you? How many times has the outcome of your day actually been impacted by anything on twitter?

@Scout Forbes yeah that's also true. most of the time we get first hand and up-to-date information practically right after it's happened. but sadly not all of that inso is true (or maybe it is but they gave it a bad twist) and that's why it's so frustrating

@Scout Forbes that's what makes it so unreliable

Here’s the thing: it’s simultaneously the most reliable and the most unreliable source of information, and there is very little way to know which it is

@mrtheluckybucket Depends on who you follow. You get very instant, up-to-date information. If you can be critical about the source then it's great.

It’s the most unreliable source of information I’ve ever seen lol

definitely !!! It’s why it’s so frustrating bc it’s so good and also so bad lol

this sounds like it should be in a dystopian film, it’s so Ominous

@İnternette varolmak istemeyen adam the Hunger Games timeline?

The line about a spark reminded me of the Hunger Games.

It could just be played as a soundtrack for the news

We live in a dystopian film? Wht du mena

It's in my writing playlist for my dystopian book I'm currently working on. It scares me, writing dystopia, because I find myself having to change things more and more drastically because our world is becoming so close to what I write

Wide shots juxtaposing the high society living with the shitty impoverished living conditions, maybe the main character walking through the dirty underbelly, seeing the injustices and corruption occuring, maybe flashes to pocket resistance groups shouting slogans, close ups of sick or homeless individuals looking directly at the camera

@sh0wp0ny wow... we really do. That's terrifying

@sh0wp0ny This is THAT timeline everybody talk about

Isn’t that just real life? Also consider it done.


This is the “I really needed a beautiful dodie song today” button

I need it as an implant in my belly or something :)

There isn't a day that I have never needed a beautiful dodie song lol


“People only believe what they need to believe” is so haunting because it’s so real


“nothing we can do” part of this song is so enchantingly hopeless? like i’m charmed but also really damn sad about it? anyone else?

Best part of the song hands down. Really satisfying syncopated rhythm

Read the description, it sorta explains a little bit of that! :-)

But we're still raising our hands and we're still dancing.
Eventually someone will see.
And those non-caring generations will eventually die...

Anønymøus - oh so like depressed but you're in a fairytale.... coooll

“enchantingly hopeless” is the best explanation of this song


"We will not stand still and watch it burn"

grenfell's 3 year anniversary is today. A confirmed 72 deaths, when the real figure is more around 500

WE WILL NEVER FORGET THEM 💚

Still a bunch of buildings covered in that flammable crap, too. "Well There's Your Problem" did a good deconstruction of what happened & why, what the engineering faults were & how they came about. It was pretty excruciating to watch but 100% on the money, every policy failure, coming from every bit of bigotry the council had towards the tenants, and the penny-pinching for honestly no good reason, like "Maybe Kensington were saving to have their own airforce..." It's full of gallows humour like that because honestly otherwise they'd just scream.


this seems like it would be in a montage in a coming-of-age black mirror episode<br>also yo dodie i love you; you inspire me to make my own stuff :)

this seems like it would be in a montage in a coming-of-age black mirror episode
also yo dodie i love you; you inspire me to make my own stuff :)


I really love the mirror perspective

It gives the illusion there's two people in a way since on real Dodie you can't see the ukulele but on mirror Dodie you can 0w0

I honestly waited through the entire song because I thought dodie in the mirror was going to look at real dodie. How haunting would that have been right at the end?

I enjoyed pretending that the two dodii were each singing the two different harmonising parts at one stage.

I waited for mirror dodie to sing backup the whole time xD


nailing the time signature for the chorus is SO IMPRESSIVE

Justabitof Emz<br>Sounds about right! :)

@Emily Francesca Yes that all makes sense! I've learned about hemiola at school actually, it's interesting. Thank you very much!! <3

@Emily Francesca I don't really know music theory at all, so this was super helpful!

the chorus is so clean and nicely done and awesome

@Grace Price Hey!! So the guitar is doing the same picking pattern as before (so still in 4/4) and the vocals over the top are in groups of 3! This sorta thing is called a hemiola in music theory- where you put groups that feel like they're in different time signatures over each other. So the "what do I do" section is repeated 3 times (27 beats but as 9 bars) whilst the picking pattern ends up being repeated 2 times in this case (32 beats- 8 bars)… the last 5 beats of picking are played with no vocals though... let me know if this makes any sense bc I'm not sure if it does haha and I can try to explain it better if not x

@doddleoddle u did amazing it sounds so clean ! what timing is it in can I ask ?

I T WAS REALLY HARD THANK U i had to retrain my brain


Every song dodie, you shock me with your humble yet complex rhythms, tonal patterns and musicality. It’s unreal and beautiful. I look forward to each new piece (especially when you compose a movie score). Have a great day.


The swelling at the end feels like the movement that’s rising, like a rebellion that I damn well hope succeeds


this song should be called: "the bluebird's call"


Ngl I’ve deleted twitter like 20 times. It messed with my head too much, but it’s important to stay updated on information.

I would delete Twitter for the same reason but my school basically posts like everything on twitter and told everyone in our school to have it if we have a phone

ok but same. i still have it on me because i think im too reliant on some creators now. might be good to uninstall it again, huh?

Paul Beverage I think I may have worded it wrong, not more informed but engaged. How I would describe it as, seeing things on Twitter made me go further into the topic and actually research. By far, Twitter is one of the worst ways to get reliable information. But, it does help me get me to the good information, if that makes sense.

Currently I’ve deleted twitter and been mostly staying off social media (besides Youtube) so I do agree with you that being disconnected makes people a lot more happier. Also, I’m not going on twitter for a very long time.

I deleted mine for good. It gives you the ilusion of information but its just shallow. You don't have the time to process anything. I moved to good books now.

Updated on information?  Isn't that what we should be able to trust the news for?

Twitter is full of specific cells of people, none of them honest, and a much smaller population of people who came to it before it became the breeding ground of nightmares it is today.

There are other ways to stay informed, but the truth is, we do not need most of the information on social media or the news...but they want you to believe you do.  Yet, it always seems to be the bad stuff...the stuff that makes the most money due to clicks and impressions.

Sad times.  The few people I personally know who have disconnected are far happier, and still keep up with the actually important details.  Maybe I should go to not having any of them...


“i am begging tell me are we ok” hits so damn hard. dodie you lyrical genius owie 🥺


"I will write, I will craft, watch me work through the pain
" this just got to me. sometimes i treat twitter like it's my personal diary and it's become one of my ways to cop. but besides, the way you put how many of us try to make a change by tweeting is so beautiful and accurate. and yeah, sometimes it may feel like we really are screaming at no one or shouting into the dark, but at least we're raising our voices and that's important. this song was beautiful dodie


your harmony has been so haunting lately - beautiful!

also: this is officially "dodie green", right? :P


Oh gosh this song is just so powerful. I especially love the line “not much to do but smile too hard, but I’m laughing with no one” I’ll be thinking of that one for a long while


I remember you sang the first part of this song on Instagram a couple years back and I was OBSESSED, I wanted to so badly for you to finish it and now it's here I'm so happy!! It's just so beautifully hunting


lyrics to this beautiful yet ominous song- Here I am just another shout into the dark
You would think, we'd be loud enough, to cause a spark
But half the world cover their ears and cry
So we're screaming at no one
Screaming at no one

Mmmmm

Raise your arms raise your voice no one wants what we'll get
We're all scared here, with the future that's set
We will not stand still and watch it burn
But we're dancing for no one
Dancing for no one

The higher we build
The harder to see
Paint over your strokes
And the ink will just bleed
Please open your mind
We beg from a screen

What do I do
What do we do
Nothing we can do

Tell me now, I am begging tell me are we okay?
I will write, I will craft, watch me work through the pain
Not much to do but smile too hard
But I'm laughing with no one
Laughing with no one

The higher we build
The harder to see
Paint over your strokes
And the ink will just bleed
Please open your mind
We sob from a screen

The higher we build
The harder to see
People only believe
What they need to believe
Please open your mind
We sob from a screen

What do I do
What do we do
Nothing we can do
(There must be something we can do)


WAIT DOES IT HAVE A TITLE?? THIS SONG IS AMAZING!!

doddleoddle 1). nahsbsvsjns YOU RESPONDED OH MY GODDD!! 2). that's an amazing name!

hazel suggested dancing for no one which i quite like


Though I appreciate passion and anger at issues, I do want people to remember that change happens slowly. It is reasonable, justified, and encouraged, to get angry at stagnation in regards to progress. You are allowed to— and most definitely SHOULD be angry at the issues plaguing our world. That anger can be used to fuel ambition, hard work, and therefore change. However, this frustration could also grow to grim acceptance of this stagnation. It could grow to a loss of hope. A cynical and defeated view of the world. I do not believe we can lose hope. Not with the way things are right now. History has shown us that change occurs over long periods of time, with downfalls and uprises. Fluctuating paths of progress are normal.
As our world advances, large scale change is made comparatively quicker than before, but it still feels long to us. Though it is tragic to witness injustice, I beg you to take a step back, and to not lose hope. Use your emotion and justified anger to fight for change, and continuously work and do whatever you can to fix the way things are. That will help. And even though sometimes it may feel like all of that work is amounting to nothing, trust me, keep going and do not lose hope. I am a firm believer that hope is required in order for change to occur. Without the faith that things will get better, nobody will even try.
There is something we can do, and we will have to work through this and continue to work until things start happening. Don’t give up on this. We can’t afford to give up on this. Stay safe and stay strong y’all ❤❤


"paint over your strokes
and the ink will just bleed"
I love this metaphor so much.


This song reminds me of what my dad told me when he was diagnosed with cancer, “if you can’t do anything about it why worry”

He’s fine now


The elegance, the beauty, the grace, the poise. Amazing Dodie!

p.s. also happy pride everyone 🏳🌈


Anyone else notice around 2:28 the lighting changes? Idk if that's intentional or not but it's really neat until  throughout the end of the song

the light change makes me imagine it as the people panicking because they want to change things but keep getting blocked by immovable obstacles. I hope I make sense

She said in a comment that it was just a happy coincidence


"Please open your mind
we sob from a screen".

Well I'm glad we live in such time where we genuinely have this openness and empathy for one another. But damn, how true it is to have so many people refuse to listen."


this is the deepest thing anyone has said about twitter since literally the world and my heart wasn't expecting this level of emotion yet i can't stop listening because of course its dodie


imagine this:

youre standing over a cliff as the sun sets, with the orange and yellow hues painted across the land. you see ashes, you see fire, you see war. there eas nothing but back to back tsunami to earthquakes, strange pest infestations, and youve just came out of quarantine.

you check your watch.

its 2020.


i've been waiting this song for years! i vividly remember listening a bit of it in a couple instagram stories when dodie still had short hair...  the "what do I do
, what do we do, nothing we can do" part really glued in my head for quite a while and I bet it will be again


Goddamn I love this song. If I could make music I'd extend it. The composition is subtle and powerful. Every tone flows in and out without a trace. That quiet inhale was good


I’ve never had Twitter for two reasons: nobody in my country uses it, and there is so much negativity in it.

ITS SO BAD!!! I only have it for news updates from other countries. <br>Honestly want to delete it. It’s a cesspool for trolls.

If hunger games was still being filmed this would’ve been in it. Such an eerie atmosphere yet intriguing, I’m in love!


okay this song is beautiful but also the first second I see dodies face in a video I get this feeling of "it's gonna be okay. though you may not be okay rn, u will be one day." THANK YOU<br>Dodie if you read this: I really don't want to put any pressure on u with this comment I think it's just a connection in my mind and there's nothing you could/should do about it.

i know no one will read this but i remember dodie singing this on a instagram live stream and i loved the concept of it, so i tried to write down the lyrics, i have it somewhere on my journal and i’m so happy she posted this again after like 2/3 years 🥺🥺


This was fitting in 2017 but somehow just as fitting now. Dodie, you are such a skilled songwriter. I strive to write like you every time I write a song. If we stand together we can make a difference!


I am so in awe at this song, didn't even know your songs could get any better than they all already are but wow! This is something. Thank you for expressing so much


This made me cry. You’re so talented dodie!


everyone on twitter is just trying to make a change and it's so painful when we shout so loud but it's all behind glass, behind a screen. and we go out to protests and sign petitions and try to break that barrier, but they still lock us in, make us out to be the bad ones. we will be the ones with sharp pains in our feet, once we shatter that glass and it lands on the floor. but it's worth it, because they will be forced to hear our pleas. they will have nothing to hide behind.


dodie is one of those people who always can find the right words for the current situation and then make them sound THAT beautifully tragic. So. Much. Talent.


Thank you dodie. You turn a phrase from some words that none of us here can voice and spin it into a melody in such an elegant tone, with voiceless yet unbroken intention behind every note. I hope that one day I can have even half the courage that you do to string together some words so that I too can make a difference and weave my own story for those who cannot speak theirs.


It’s frustrates me that this probably won’t get released as Dodie has played it here. Such a well written song!

A lot of the times her Youtube versions are just so beautiful. Id love her to make an album just with those versions.


sees title
me: oh it must be a silly song about twitter woo
me: 20 seconds in oh-

*sees title*
me: oh it must be a silly song about twitter woo
me: *20 seconds in* oh-


I love how "there must be something we can do" overpowers "nothing we can do" at the end. So powerful <3


me on twitter: sees a notification from dodie with a song about twitter<br>'ok then'

me on twitter: sees a notification from dodie with a song about twitter
'ok then'


twitter can be a scary place , make sure you all take care of yourself

it's dangerous to twitter alone, take this: <3 <3 <3


dodie makes me feel heard by putting everything and the hurt going around into words


This feels like an anthem to apathy and surrender, and sometimes that's what feels safe. But I don't think it's the right move right now, or the right message. I appreciated the sound and the beautiful lyrics, but the last thing we need is complacency. <br>That said, you captured the feelings of the youth fairly well; we're all scared that our actions won't bring lasting change because the people in power just casually want us all to die lmao

Dang Dodie... When I first saw the title I was like “here we go 😒...” but wow. This is really really well written lyrically and such a cool and beautiful composition. Nice work! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5 for me.


thank you so much for writing this, it’s exhausting and disheartening seeing the ignorance and hate in people. we will be heard though, these are hopefully the years of change. thank you again, this is gorgeous <3


anyone wanna talk about how pretty her messy hair is

didn't even notice before I read this comment because I was too fixated on how pretty her skin is in this video

@doddleoddle that's a mood though, tbh, except you're pretty and I look like a potato in noodle form

fun fact the doctor who diagnosed me with depression described my hair as "unkempt"


favorite part was the “what do I do” part, I always love when you have those minor harmonies with that really windy voice


Much power to you dodie...you inspire me so much...sending a virtual hug💜✨


I’ve been feeling a certain type of way today and this song just put it into beautiful words 💔 I’m not in a good place right now and this song just captures that hopeless feeling.

Thank you for making me feel normal Dodie x


all of your work is ethereal. it literally makes me feel like i’m floating. the best feeling ever


I feel like this with the part of all my daughters "I'm not who they think I am..." would work well


Thank you Dodie for making my day, everyday.


i remember hearing a snippet of this song years ago and i’m feeling so nostalgic and calmed finally hearing all of it


You are such an amazing songwriter and singer. I feel this so deeply today.♥


this should be called "have a voice" YOUR VOICE IS SUPER PRETTY!! (i went to your concert in the house of blues, love ya!)


WHY IS SHE JUST SO AMAZING?
Love her, love this, love everyone.
Stay safe, do good friends.


This is giving me Radiohead vibes, so relevant to our time.


i was going to comment something interesting but then I sneezed and now I'm documenting that instead yw

anyone reading this hope you have a good day, ur valid and cool, we need positivity in this time


Dodie: Plays one note on ukulele
Me: STUNNING BEAUTIFUL OMG  I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEE

Dodie: *Plays one note on ukulele*
Me: STUNNING BEAUTIFUL OMG  I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVEEEEE


I've had quite a stressful day and honestly this has soothed me so much thank you! ❤


This broke my heart! Just a perfect representation of what‘s happening currently and what it feels like


Wait... this is incredible! 💕 such important points raised in a beautiful way through your music. Absolutely gorgeous Dodie :)


thank you for everything dodie, you always brighten up my (and im sure those of many others) day <3


This is genuinely my favourite song now like I cannot stress this enough


Utterly inspired songwriting. I’m yet again amazed by your talent at connecting so deeply with your audience.


IM LITERALLY GETTING IN A HEATED ARGUMENT ON TWITTER WHEN YOU POSTED THIS LMOAHDHDBDBSB

@miIf reply girl its so nice your there standing against racism. 💙 But sometimes they just want to spread their hate... If u see that no matter what you say and how hard you try to explain they are not listening, just report them. Or else you will get unnecessarily angry and overwhelmed

Props to all of you lovely people who are trying only your best ❤❤

also sometimes it's better to just report them and not engage with them!

Stargirl Oh jeez, that does sound bad. As long as you give/gave it your best shot at being calm in that situation, its good enough.

@miIf reply girl then I would say do your worst, but I guess it's good to set a good example. Anyways, you better have won😤☺

I know but they were homophobic and islamophobic as well, it’s hard to stay calm when someone says those things

Make sure to handle it peacefully. Even if you're on the morally right side of the argument, being harsh and offensive to the other person still can paint you as a bad guy

Me too! I’m arguing with a transphobe :/

Same here on Instagram. Guy literally wished my property to burn, lmao.

@miIf reply girl I'm sorry that's the worst! Just remember that hurtful words on either side aren't helpful no matter how good they feel to say 😂

Rachel Larson the girl I’m arguing with is very racist 😭


This is beautiful - it's been stuck in my mind since you posted about it on IG. Thank you, lovely 🖤


Such a haunting song. Would love to hear you sing with some extra backing instruments and vocalists. Especially with those powerful yet truthful lyrics. Well done lovely x


thanks dodie for using ur platform to speak about the crazy shit! thanks for the links as well!!


FINALLY!
oh my I have waited for the release of this song for three years! I absolutely fell in love with it when you posted it on your story! I have been constantly singing it for the past three years!

but it really is frustrating how it is still so relevant...


Right? I love the detail, especially the freckles


saw this on your instagram story in 2017 and fell in love. so glad you've posted it.


Love you doddie❤ thank you for singing and raising your voice to the world. There’s still hope as long as we can sing together:)


This is one of the best songs I’ve ever heard written about the world today. In an honest and raw way. It’s ok to feel helpless.

ꪜꪖꫀ ꫝꪮꪶꪶꪮ᭙ꪖꪗ


I was having a really bad day, thank you for helping my anxiety calm


not me crying over yet another beautifully crafted doddleoddle song


this song is beautifully written, i'd love to see a chord/ tab for it  ☺


The harmony at the end is amazing!!! You have such a gorgeous voice.


actual proof that dodie can make me cry by singing about an app


How do you make simple words feel as deep as the ocean itself? 😍😍 absolutely beautiful


I can't put into words how well this put my thoughts into words. Absolutely gorgeous.


the tone on “tell me now, I am begging, tell me are we ok” just summarizes so many feelings right now x


something about the simplicity and brutal honesty of that raw emotion hits me in my bones. this is beautiful dodie <3


THIS IS GREAT!!! The way that you put all this in wonderful words... every time i am  truly amazed!


Speechless. I just feel incredibly lucky to have found Dodie Clark. It's almost an honour to hear all your music and your poetic lyrics.


this is so so good. you never fail to astound me with your talent. thank you for being politically/socially aware and posting on your socials :)


Wow. This is now tied for my favorite song along with Vincent by Don McLean. Beautiful, beautiful lyrics and soul. Dodie, my dear, don’t ever change.


I loved this so much! Will this be on Spotify? I wanna listen to it a bunch more! It’s so ominous and kinda dark and got such a feeling of hopelessness to it but it’s also just bitterly true which I feel adds so much to the song as a whole.... and the harmonies! 👌 beautiful


Your plucking is always so soothing. I always have trouble with that when I play uke. Thanks for another great song dodie even tho i remember this in 2017 💞


I played through the last of us 2 recently and man....  the amount of times I wished they'd got you to help out with music for that you'd have been amazing on it. 😍❤


I'm pretty late but I just wanted to say I think this song is beautiful. Great job, Dodie. 😊


You're the sort of person we need to make the change 💛 keep on learning, loving and creating and all our small efforts will create a tidal wave of change


I just love how you occasionally intertwine your main vocal and backing vocal lines. Thank you so much for making my world a better place with your music - despite the dystopian touch. Keep 'em coming


Holy cow this is gorgeous. Dodie I always liked your music, but this is amazing. Like, it's amazing to see how far you've come as a musician.


This is so beautiful. Enchanting. Almost hipnotizing. I feel like I'm listening to a really epic movie soundtrack.. Dodie, your songs are breathtaking! ❤ thank you so much for sharing them with us


I love the energy of this song... hauntingly beautiful.


Dodie, I love your music so much! So much talent, just... I don't know how else to say that all your music is amazing and you're so talented.


this is so beautiful 🥺 you honestly inspire me and my own music so so much xx


Dodie never fails to create a song out of how I feel, as if we knew each other so well. Dodie and her works are so beautiful <3


This is beautiful - would love a full production of this one!!


i love you so much dodie. i hope you're doing okay and getting through this tough time. stay safe x


this has the same sort of eerie; beautiful undertones as burned out did and i am HERE FOR IT


Absolutely beautiful and amazingly written! This made me cry so hard but I’m so happy to have heard it. Ik that things could always be worse and even though that’s not what the songs about that’s what it reminds me of. I love this song.


Well done Dodie, you music always makes me smile!


This made me feel not so alone. Thank you, Dodie


once again, dodie sums up what we all feel in a gorgeous song :)


This song conveys such a raw and relatable feeling of crying, screaming, or laughing at your phone yet being totally alone and I cannot physically process it oh my


I listen to this on repeat daily. It is so incredibly good, like everything else you do!! No surprise there💖💖💖💖


this needs to be in a massively emotional short indie <br>film. god i love dodie ♡ ♡

this needs to be in a massively emotional short indie
film. god i love dodie ♡ ♡


The emotion, the chords, the change of lighting in the background, this just got me feeling the same way as if i'm watching a play of some sort..


Please release this song, on ALL platforms! It is so profound and so wonderfully written, both musically and lyrically. Thank you for sharing this with us - I feel truly blessed to hear it.

Win Xx


This is genuinely such a beautiful song, and it's message is so very true, Twitter is so toxic, yet we always go back to it for information or entertainment. Once again, an amazing song, from an amazing artist.💙


A while ago you posted an incomplete version of this on Instagram... I have been waiting so long for the full version! This is so beautiful and I can’t wait for it to be released for streaming 💕💕


this was exactly what I needed to hear today, my goodness. thank you, dodie <3


i remember when you shared this on your stories back in the day. i was so excited! and rightfully so! this is so good


You know dodie is truly amazing when your brought to tears in the first 5 seconds of the song


The colour co-ordination in this video makes my eyes very happy.


This is a masterpiece! So gorgeous to listen to! But yet also very ominous.


This song is haunting, beautiful, it takes my breath away, to be honest.


You HAVE to pur this on spotify! This is such a good and beautiful song! 💕


YES FINALLY.

I saw this on instagram stories and I was so sad that it didnt go anywhere. Much love <3


this sounds like it would be playing in a dystopian film while the characters look at the barren wasteland of a world they <br>used to love

I want a formal recording of this song omg. Dont change anything, just let me buy it


Sometimes the softest of words can create the most impactful feelings.<br>Thank you for this today.

Sometimes the softest of words can create the most impactful feelings.
Thank you for this today.


i love this song cause whenever im on twitter i am SO SO SO much different than how i am usually


Such a hauntingly beatiful song. Very relevant these days. There's been all these recent protests and movements that really move crowds (black lives matter, climate protests, gilets jaune or yellow vests, Hong Kong protests against Chinese government, anti weapons movement after yet another school shooting etc. ), topics that people are genuinly concerned about, but will change very little in the long run. People really long for structural change, if only the governments would listen.

🎶What do I do, what do we do, there's nothing we can do ... 🎶


i’ve never really understood people saying that an artist really helped them until i listened to dodie. her music just feels so familiar and calm, it’s one of the few things that can calm me down after a panic attack other then wait it out. her music is just so beautiful i really don’t know what i would do without her songs


I love this! It’s ominous but very calming ✨✨


music theory nerd here, love the hemiolas in the chorus!!<br>and this is overall just so beautiful

and this is overall just so beautiful


Omg does anyone else remember dodie posting part of this on her Instagram story years ago?? It's literally my favourite song that she's ever created for some reason I kept going back and relistening to it but lost hope that she'd post a full version I CANR BELIEVE SHE DID IT AND ITS SO MUCH BETTER THAN I HOPED AHH


This sums up what I was thinking about twitter earlier today , beautifully done x


literally been refreshing my YouTube feed everyday since the last dodie vid. today is the day and I am thankful. thank you dodie x


Dodes does great with the video making, sound quality and back voices, I love everything about it🧡


this, in my humble opinion, is without a doubt your best song yet! terrific song-writing skills! "people only believe what they to believe" is SUCH a great line. cheerful thoughts all the way from brazil :)


Although you only released it today, on here, it still resonates perfectly with the time we're in. This some beautiful music, and it was very well-timed recording! Hope you're feeling good, Dodie!


the power in your lyrics dodie... never fail to make me emotional


Another beautiful perfect song it's always soothing hearing your always  beautiful dodie love so much


1. great song, i am in love with your voice and the calm panic of the flow and lyrics
2. i love the composition of this shot, the colors, the mirror, its great
3. i hope everyone who sees this has a wonderful day


During hard times like this musicians and artists are some of the most valuable people we have. You guys lift the human spirit and thanks dodie because you do such a good job of it!


This is haunting and beautiful. Please, please, please put it on Spotify!


This a beautiful song but my mind is already creating a whole orchestral part behind this, just beautiful strings and flute and bassoon to accompany these lyrics


Literally how is Dodie so calming, I always watch her videos when I'm panicking and this song is a <b>marvelous</b> addition to the Panicking Playlist

Literally how is Dodie so calming, I always watch her videos when I'm panicking and this song is a *marvelous* addition to the Panicking Playlist


Really beautiful song, Dodie! I love it!!!!


Like every song she makes, this is beautiful :)


Beautiful.  I love those gorgeous overdubbed harmonies.  Such a talent.


This song reminded me of a few years ago when I would to listen to your songs if I was starting to dissociate and it would help me through my bad days, I wanted to thank you because I’m doing so much better now, and I’m sharing because that gives me hope that things in our world can and will eventually change. Also you displayed the pain of isolation so well!This song deserves to be in a museum because the lyrics are true art!


oh dodie this is so pretty :((( its really resonated w/ my feelings abt the situation in our country rn (im from the philippines), thank you for this such a powerful song !!! stay safe and stay health ^_^


I guess we did finally cause a spark. It's time for change, real change this time. What do we do? Whatever we can


This has a sort of a 'Human' and 'she' thing goin on. I LOVE it!


Wow, I am head-over-heels in love with this song! I really think you should release it on other platforms. If you do, keeping in mind the subject matter, maybe you should donate some of the proceeds to the BLM movement?


This is beautiful. And I can totally see it used in the slightly-angsty revelation scene in a TV show, transitioning into the epilogue scene for the episode.


Ever since I first heard this song on your insta story it's been my absolute favourite song of yours! Every new song and video you've released I've been hoping for this one!!! <333


The second chorus is top tier, love it so much!<br>Btw. Someone knows what are the chords? I would like to play it : )

The second chorus is top tier, love it so much!
Btw. Someone knows what are the chords? I would like to play it : )


"What do I do, what do we do, nothing we can do" Those lyrics resonate with me so much and its crazy this song was written in 2017 and not in the last week.


I just used your song for when u came out as bi to come out to my friend he loved it ,loved this song btw💕💕🏳🌈


There must be something we can do!!!!!<br>This is WONDERFUL 🦋

There must be something we can do!!!!!
This is WONDERFUL 🦋


This is the most beautiful song about twitter, ever. How could you make something really beautiful out of something rather ordinary? You always amaze me ♡♡♡


Considering the time period when you wrote this song, it's doesn't surprise me that the lyrics are so devoid of hope (Although, being a person who always searches for the silver lining, I really liked the countermelody going "There must be something we can do").
It also fascinates me that this song can also be linked to people having to be in quarantine. There is a strong feeling of isolation in the song, where social media is the only outlet that someone has to speak to the world, and yet it doesn't make people feel any less alone.
To me, social media is a two-edged sword. On one hand, it can create a very toxic environment, a skewed sense of self-worth in either direction, an echo chamber of opinions or misinformation, and it can be something that takes up a lot of our time. On the other hand, it can be an incredibly powerful tool for change, a way for people to stay in touch with one another, a way to chronicle moments in a person's life, and a way to rally people together for a cause. In the end, I suppose it all comes down to how you use it.
I got rid of Facebook in 2015 when the environment it was creating was severely toxic to me. I made an Instagram, and I often use it to check on my friends, follow you dodie, a few other people on YouTube, and to rarely post an important moment in my life. My next post will probably be after I pass my nursing exam to be honest. I don't go on it all that often, but I will go through it every now and then to see how everyone is, and then I will often text/call my friends too. Right now, staying connected with the people we care about is something that I think everyone needs! Thank you dodie! Great work with the song! :) <3


What i like most about dodie’s songs is that they can tell powerful meaning by peaceful singing ❤❤😱


I remember discovering you when you had around 400k subscribers. I immediately fell for your music, and I even made one of my school projects about you. you're amazing, and i love everything about you. Keep up the good work ❤


I feel like this song would go beautifully over protest videos. the lyrics really hit with everything going on.


I really love the aesthetic of this video! Her shirt just perfectly matches the cupboard behind her


This is heartbreakingly beautiful. Also the way the sun shines in the beginning and then goes away at the end is just so fitting for the hopelessness feeling of the song.


I SWEAR this was the one I heard on your Instagram story like, ages ago and loved it and always wondered when we’d get to hear a full version 👁👄👁


this is actually one of my favorite songs of yours? please release this officially? you don't even need to give it a name, it's just perfect


Your lyrics hit close to home, as always. Stay safe and strong, everyone.


Omg I remember this from your instagram story back then!!!! I’m so excited to hear this again because it’s so fricking good, I can’t get over it


your voice conveys such gentle pain it’s so beautiful and i love you


tbh, twitter is still a hell hole, and this is as relevant as ever 🤣 love you so much, dodie! 🤎


can she release ALL of her songs on all platforms? EVERYTHING IS JUST SO GOOD WHAT


0:18 was the moment I realized I loved this song… you’re welcome <3


“paint over your strokes and the ink will just bleed” is so powerful. what a beautiful interpretation of such a messy world.


ok but imagine an epic version of this with cool drum beats. anyway still love this dodie! <3


So on point with my emotions about politics overall <br>Thank you dodie

So on point with my emotions about politics overall
Thank you dodie


I cannot put into words how much I love Dodie. She's just the most perfect human being to  ever walk the planet I am too obsessed I don't know what to do I can't wrap my head around the perfection of one person and the beauty and the adorableness i think if I ever met her it would take all my might to not just propose or something it all physically hurts meeeeee

Thank you for coming to my tedtalk.


Dodie has the signature “multiple dodie voices in the background” and I can’t get through a song without waiting to hear it


I can't be the only one crying at this. It's so well written and beautiful and just rings so true.


I love you so much. This is such a beautifully written song and too true.


I keep coming back to this song. Maybe because of the interesting time signature at the chorus. Maybe because of how terrifyingly relatable the lyrics are. Or maybe because of the soothing color palette that you use in your recent videos, including this one.

Whatever the real reasons are, I just want to say that your music is magical because it speaks to me, Dodie 💛


I recognize you soul💛

You’re sweet, gentle, sensitive, deep and intuitive.


Love you Dodie your really helping me hold on to myself


Absolutely AMAZING!!!! So beautiful and yet so ominous I love it! HOW R U SO TALENTED!!!!???!!!!


I need this to be on Spotify, so I can listen to it 24/7!


I got so excited when I saw she posted, this song is amazing


Oh my god I remember her singing this song in a livestream like 2 years ago I’m SHOOK


I found your videos recently and feel you in so many ways. I believe you are healing through your art, and thousands of us are doing the same thanks to your music. Thank you so much for your brave voice in the wind.


This song feels like coming from MY OWN most desparate hours.


I have an idea. Can we, viewers, also help by making a malinda-style collaboration to make a community cover of this song? I'll be happy to cooperate if anyone else is in! :>


Will you release this as an ep or on an album? I would love to buy this song. It has such important and strong emotion in it


the ✨v i b e s✨ are absolutely immaculate


Wishing you a wonderful future. An artist who I think is amazing and I have been able to stay with for 3 years. You never fail to impress. ❤


I was expecting a very jokey funny song but this was amazing


this is just so beautiful sounding you just keep amazing me! love your songs so much


Ι love you Dodie, thank you for your music 🌹


i’ve been struggling these past few weeks more than ever but i’m taking it one day at a time. this is my calm amongst the chaos today. thank you for the calm<3


Your first sentence just rips into my heart like a dagger. Sending you my love, sweetheart. Your gift is such magic 🦋🌬⚘... adore you. You're such an inspiration to me.. I JUST started writing music. I have ZERO clue what I'm doing but you're music touches my spirit in so many beautiful places...


Had a really difficult weekend. This fixed that thank you x


i have never clicked on a notification faster


This reminds me of a sad western about the world changing and it’s so sad but hopeful in a way. It’s so beautiful. Thank you dodie ♥


Your singing and songwriting talent is so high level.  Also you have a very fetching profile!


You have one of the most unique voices ever. It’s so beautiful 😍!!!!!!!!!!!!


Wow dodie that was so emotional and heartaking, i can see it played in a protest, so so powerful


This really does capture the feeling of screaming into the void that is twitter right now.

But also, I really love how this is framed with the mirror.


I thought the lyrics went "we saw it from a screen" before I read the description and I thought that was reffering to the murder of George Floyd and it gave me chills. Also it's scary how something you wrote so long ago can be applied to our situation today. The atmosphere does feel an awful lot like it did back then.


2017 was the first year I could vote and it was so incredibly disheartening. I've felt all my hope for humanity draining from me ever since.  This song so perfectly describes that. I am so at a loss for what to do about the racist, homophobic asshole who leads this country and the people who follow his lead...it all just feels so hopeless lately. Thank you, as always Dodie, for putting my thoughts into a song!


The lyrics so precise, the message so relevant, the tune so aerials by soad, and it makes it complete


Finally!! I loved the little snippet of this song you made on Instagram and after all this time I wasn't expecting the full thing but it's really good.


This is just wonderful.<br>Your lyrics, your melodies, harmonies everything is on point thank you so much for sharing your mind with us ❤

This is just wonderful.
Your lyrics, your melodies, harmonies everything is on point thank you so much for sharing your mind with us ❤


esp the tracks that the civil wars did for the soundtrack


Literally begging you to release this on Spotify I love it so much 😧😍


You are a great singer and very beautiful! I like your style (and this song), you inspire me. Know that you have russian-speaking fans<br> P.S. my English is not very good but i love you❤

listening to this with earphones is a completely enchanting experience


Just heard this during the sunrise in the studio with ma morning cup of coffee- perfect timing. Absolutely stunning, thank you for sharing this!! :)


Grim by definition music is art so idk what ur on about man

Shares something with art tho, it's beautiful.


this is gorgeous and I’m not going to stop listening to it for the foreseeable future


My school started again today and the whole time I just felt extremely scared and powerless and even tho your song wasn't written about the situation right now, it really helped because you expressed those feelings                                      Thank You (:


pls put this on spotify its so beautiful


I feel like this should be a theme tune for a crime drama ☺


this is like when the cool friend gets really emotional and you all get really into it


this reminds me of the morning after a bad night, with wind chimes hauntingly beautiful melodies. thank you for the song. 💖


I got eallymattacked on Twitter today by a fandom I thought mae me feel safe... the panicky undertones in this song perfectly matched my mood... also good job maintaining the  key signature over those chorus hemiolas that looked hArd


Love it. Sounds like a modern sound for Biblical Ecclesiastes or some other cynic  who loves beauty and longs for good


ok but who else thinks dodie deserves the world for what she does? she’s a fantastic singer and inspiration to all. she inspired me to make a youtube channel, what a legend.


if i had to name this song, i would name it “cultural scars” or “silence”


This reminds me so much of my feelings towards the climate crisis omg. I want to believe everything will be okay but there are so many people who don't take it seriously that OUR FUCKING PLANET is dying and I feel like I'm screaming and begging and they're like "yeah but... that wouldn't be good for the economy. You'll understand that when you're older"
So we're watching it burn.
Dodie, I freaking love you <3


Your singing continues to be the most raw and grounding music I've found.


twitter scares me too much. it’s usually fandoms fighting and like NO

and more scarier stuff like donald trump trying to stop gay ppl from adopting which makes me wanna cry 💅✨


mmm yum im obsessed with this melody, this is one of those 'repeat to cram every last bit of feeling out of it' songs


this is so good :( "please open your mind, we sob from a screen" is really all that happens on twitter. we're all just crying about things that affect us but the people who need to hear it won't listen


This is my favorite track of yours, love the hopeless lyrics of our atomic bomb of postmodernistic knowledge and constant arpeggios of that chord structure more fitting for the intro scene of 28 days later.


Ahhh I remember you posting this on Instagram ages ago and I’ve been waiting for MONTHS MAYBE YEARS FOR THIS 💛💛💛


“nothing we can do” this is hopeless yet every now n then i remember that i can do nothing to make the world better makes me feel less guilty about problems
after all there's nothing you can do to stop bad things. it's sad yet so calming....
you can't stop death of a loved ones, you can just look at them and remember that you can't do anything to help. you can't .
 “nothing we can do”


read the title and my first thought was "that's a risky move"


Молодец, Додяша! Прекрасное исполнение

Молодец, Додяша! Прекрасное исполнение


you wouldn't believe how much i needed this tonight


even though it was written in 2017, it’s spooky how well it fits right now, during all <b>this</b>

even though it was written in 2017, it’s spooky how well it fits right now, during all *this*


I LOVE THIS! I can feel the goose bumps :D


me on twitter getting this video notif: 😳


This is the pain i feel, the nausea i feel inside me right now. All put into words.


I've always wanted this on spotifyyyyyyy - it's so good


the refrain (“what do I do”) is so well-crafted! the way your melody plays with the rhythm there is so genius! it’s like the melody is played in a 3/4 time signature, but it’s actually still playing in 4/4. Wow. :)


This song is going to play in my head every time I tweet and get 0 interactions.


Last time I was this early i was allowed to leave the house


Got me to uninstall Twitter, something I've been contemplating for a year now.

It's a hellscape of voices, all screaming to be heard, so loud no one can hear anything.


This has some Caligula's Horse vibes and I love it. Like a really soft CH. So good.<br>And the harmonies! So goodddd

This is awesome.<br>ps. I saw your collaboration with Pomplamoose, and Maddie Poppe and that was also awesome.

This is awesome.
ps. I saw your collaboration with Pomplamoose, and Maddie Poppe and that was also awesome.


I've just discovered your music and I already love it :)


This just feels so current, feels hard to be begging for change when no one is listening

Please hang on... There must be something we can do.


Every single song by dodie makes my heart hurt and heal at the same time. The satisfaction of how perfectly she articulates complex and complicated feelings, but also the ache from the collective pain we all share.


Not gonna lie, the end of the song lost me </3 There’s so much we can do! It’s just not ONLY scrolling/arguing/posting onto twitter, although that, too, is part of our solution. We share information and petitions and places to donate and where events/protests will take place. It can feel hopeless but changes are already happening, as is a shift in public perception of structures that SEEMED unbreakable... given what I assume this song is alluding to I feel the ending, while a TOTALLY understandable personal sentiment, is simply not true... and I wanted to point that fact out. The song was stunning! I loved the harmonies and in the face of stonewalling this sort of disheartened attitude is where I personally end up as well. I think it’s important to still take a look at what you CAN do because there is a lot. Even if it’s marginal, even if it’s not what you may want which is one person to change because they should and it’s the time to get everyone on board. Things are going to change WHETHER OR NOT those individuals like it. Focus on what you can do and we still win. Slow and steady everybody (oh, yeah, and Black Lives Matter !!!) have a good one keep scrollin


you just helped me through my panic attack. Thank u :)


Your voice is just SO beautiful, my goodness


I'm so glad I'm taking my time to not be on twitter. I've been addicted for years, and this week's the only concrete effort I've taken to temporarily call it quits on the app. So much rage stresses me out y'know? Not to be that b*tch boy who's highly apolitical and crap, but sometimes, a healthy and productive discourse about issues is all we really need— and twitter isn't helping on that matter!

If u love twitter and conversing there, I totally get you! I used to love it too. But it's also totally fine to cool off a bit and think through everything without so much rage.


this is why I deleted twitter after like a month of making an account


I'd kill to have this officially released on spotify or something :/


Not me feeling completely gutted at how wonderfully Dodie has once more captured my state of mind, no not me at all 🥺❤💔


I love you Dodi this is absolutely spectacular.


Love this! I just started reading your book! While drinking Earl Gray (my favorite tea)


the angle where u can see u in the mirror as well >>


dodie!!! I've been fighting on Twitter with transphobes and racists. I  just cry in bed at night thinking "Will I ever make them understand" "Is it worth it to try to change their minds?" I really needed this song. It's painful and beautiful. Also, I love the dodie green.


Really nice, full of emotion. Great job! :) :) :)


U’ve grown more and more beautiful with each video and with each song


i could listen to this on loop for years and be perfectly content. legitimately.


legit all of your songs give me chills and this one especially ahhhhh


This song perfectly encapsulates the feeling of shouting rage and pain into an uncaring void. Especially with all the overlapping voices at the end, like all your feelings are building and then fade into silence.


Idk about you guys, but this song really is soo accurate and perfectly timed with the way a lot of people are feeling right now, i loved it!!

Thank you dodie for putting the difficult feelings into words once again🙂


dodes you have a platform and people who follow you and look up to you and while that is undoubtedly pressuring you can use it for good and you clearly are :))


i saw the notif and out loud said “yay :D”


you have no idea how much i needed this song today. thank you


This is giving me all of the forest-goddess-siren vibes ✨ (tell me these harmonies wouldn't lure you in go on try me)


the quality of this video though dodiee. You’re incredible 🥺


this is more beauty than Twitter deserves


Thank you for this. Especially today. Just thank you. You have no idea ❤


I’m in a weird mix of anxiety from the subject and calm from dodie voice anyway the song is wonderful I love it


ooo an interesting camera angle for a beautiful song with paniced undertones. LOVE IT!


This took me to another place, and i loved it


this feels like everything I've felt in the past 3 weeks


The light changing during the really panicked part of the song was IMMACULATE. I'm truly convinced that it was a paid actor.


"raise your arms, raise your voice, no one wants what we'll get" such a loaded lyric.<br>I've been to these protests. They really aren't listening. We're getting everything but what we truly fight for. The screen doubles as a brick wall, with world-runners on the other side with their backs turned, ears covered, crying...

no one cares     edit: y did u change it from <b>first</b> to luv u🤦♀

no one cares     edit: y did u change it from *first* to luv u🤦♀


wow... i really needed to hear a song about this exact feeling. so thank you. but to whoever may be reading this, here’s your reminder that there is always something you can do. stay strong; take care of yourselves. the power of the people is stronger than the people in power.

also the song is just fuckin beautiful btw


How does one make a poem about Twitter? A beautiful poem with music?! Jesus I love her


why you look so sad :(
a smile on that face would make everyone's day
Keep smiling and singing with your heart


Wonderful. I wish I could reach this level of songrwiting.


The way your voice is incredibly soft and smooth but your picking is frantic and steady, it gives off a feeling of panic and unease whilst being so relaxing at the same time which I feel is the emotion of social media. It's so relaxing and calming but also so fast and repetitive. Another incredible song ❤


Please listen to this song. Communication solves everything. Sitting around vilifying your opponents, straw manning their opinions and censoring them, won’t work.


Me: looks at title
Me: i feel like this could be a 5 second song that says “Twitter sucks” and I’d love it just because it’s her

Me: *looks at title*

This video is very aesthetically pleasing 💚


the sun heard dodie singing a song and went “oh dang!!!! That’s a good song!!!! Lemme help. Imma make some real cool symbolic lighting. Niiiiiiiiiice.”


Very nicely written. I think we all experienced these feelings one way or another. Especially during these days. We want to raise our voice, speak up. But the harder we speak, the more energy it costs. The more tired we get. Twitter truly is a blessing and a curse for that matter


this video confirmed how beautiful dodie's side profile is, i'm weak


I think it somewhat sounds like the last of us and Life is Strange had a baby with their music choices (so it’s beautiful as heck)


can you pls put this on spotify it's so good 🥺


the minors in there are so haunting. the harmonies of your voice that are trickled in really give it the vibe of the lyrics. as a song writer im so incredibly inspired by all that you do


Thank You.
Honestly, I could have been comforted by this song back in 2017.  I looked into arming my home with weapons then but decided that I would rather think my out of the worst that could happen rather than crawling into the gutter to squabble over scraps.
          But you had the question correct then. What do we do now?
 I guess we keep trying to educate them as we would recalcitrant children. And if they don't learn today then we will try to teach them again tomorrow.
The other choice is to burn it all down and start over from the ashes.
That has never worked before so there is no reason to think it will work this time.


this is super beautiful but let's take a minute to appreciate the general color scheme of this video?


Using this to start a discussion about healthy social media boundaries with my family 🤙🤙


The problem and hypocrisy i find with the western world(which i live in fortunately or unfortunately, you can be the judge) is that kindness, love for thy neighbour and vocal support for the oppressed comes from a position of comfort. How kind you are to your neighbour, fellow human, homeless dog down the road is directly related to how comfortable in life you are...financially, mentally and physically. If the comfort and wealth suddenly disappeared from the twitter generation, who shout from the rooftops to give a voice for the oppressed...i wonder how many would still be standing shouting for somebody else, and how many would be fighting with their lovely neighbour for a cup of water or slice of bread. And the biggest hypocrisy is that the wealth in the west, that gives the heroes who speak for the oppressed the platform to do so, has come from the oppression of the less fortunate. A lot of people who speak out for the oppressed have gained indirectly from oppression, which puts them in a comfortable position to do so. Comfort for humans always seems to come at a cost...a cost to other species or our own. Brilliant song btw!


the most realistic part is that there's nothing we can do 😞 and that's why i love this song, it is meaningful, but down to earth 💕


i was just wondering "hmm what might dodie be up to??" so thank you!! this is beautiful


Can i get the chords? I really want to cover this one. So beautiful.


I can’t believe she took something like twitter and turned it into this really deep beautiful song??????? The talent here is impeccable.


my grandad died 1 year ago today and I've been numb all day and listening to this is the first time i could cry, its beautiful <3


i NEED a full rendition of this with strings and everything i neeeeeed it


This is so haunting and addictive to listen to


so beautiful!  Hey,  may i ask what you record these videos on?  Thanks!  Huge huge fan btw!


Oh my GOSH the chords/notes are so damn beautiful


the power behind this soft song is amazing


When the sunlight goes darker at the end it makes it feel even more hopeless.


i needed something like this today. thanks dodie.


Love this song- but honestly I may have a soft spot for this tone/progression, it's a lot like "soul of a man"


It's almost 1:00 right now and I'm crying. this song seems so peaceful at first but it's so heavy I can feel it in my chest pressing down but your voice feels so light and airy like I'm floating watching the earth from another body yet the songs' masked in hopelessness and the lyrics omg the lyrics it feels like I can taste every syllable, every word is piercing through me and it's too intense too intense but it moves me so much I cant breathe


the last part with overlapped chants of "nothing we can do" and "there must be something we can do" also felt like a battle cry for 2020 currently


my lordy this is the most gorgeous ahhh 🥰 dodie dodie dodie you're the most talented soothing angel<br>also honestly same. been so close to having a break from twitter recently but also i want to stay connected and i want to help the movement but idk if it's even helping or if it's making it worse and agh it's tough x x x

my lordy this is the most gorgeous ahhh 🥰 dodie dodie dodie you're the most talented soothing angel
also honestly same. been so close to having a break from twitter recently but also i want to stay connected and i want to help the movement but idk if it's even helping or if it's making it worse and agh it's tough x x x


This songs feels so surreal to me because it reminds me of feeling like no matter how hard we fight for equal rights, nothing happens. “What do I do what do we do? Nothing we can do.” Just feels so panicked and helpless


Man, the arrangements are so little and yet the songs are always very rich. The guitar is soft behind, the lyrics are simple, the voice is just on point, where it should be, the softness at the right time, the harmonies. It's soft and beautiful, powerfull even.


amazing, beautiful, love this, thank you


The camera angle is great with you in the mirror and the song is gorgous thanks :)


this is already great but imagine this with a string arrangement oh my goddddd


Dodie: has erie songs that could make shivers go up your spine<br>Also dodie: :p

Dodie: has erie songs that could make shivers go up your spine
Also dodie: :p


it feel that way. but we can make monetary reparations, sign petitions, show up to protests, call and email representatives, engage positively with our communities <3


You could’ve told us you write this yesterday and it’d still be scarily relevant, times really haven’t changed


The tempo of the “what do I do” section is so addicting. Idk how to describe it but it’s like a rolling wave that u just go over and over again, just like social media where it’s loops of shouting, attention, drama, then it all goes away


As beautiful and heart-wrenching as always🤍🖤


i want to do a cover of this song
edit: i cannot for the life of me figure out the rhythm of the chorus
edit2: ok i just figured it out and it's brilliant


I can’t get over how beautiful your voice is but what’s even better is how well it matches the amazing songs you write ❤


I knew before even clicking on this video that she would make me feel better but then I listened to these lyrics and felt this peace I didn't know I had the capacity to feel in the midst of all this? Such beautiful writing and singing, as usual. Never underestimate the power of art to remind us that we aren't the only ones who feel this way and we're always less alone than we think. Who knew a hopeless song was just what I needed to bring me a bit of hope I think. Thank you Dodie!!!


i hear the entire string arrangement in my head. oh the mind of musicians


I been needing a song like this in these times tbh.


I feel this helplessness on twitter so much but I always end up coming back to it as I find it to be such a reliable news outlet...but at the same time it gives a warped view of how the world really is in two ways; in your echo chamber you think everyone thinks like you do and when you somehow come into contact with Union Jack twitter and you think that the world is full of people are completely vile.


This is heartbreaking and so strikingly true and I hate it (but I love it)


i cant even express how much i adore you


I've been waiting for the release of this song ever since you played it on Instagram live 😭😭


It's increasingly hard in August, 2020, but to feel like we're on a brink and then...who knows. Not all of all us can capture it beautifully though, so thanks


a guide as to how to break a human heart in just 3.02 minutes dodie's edition

and it's painful in the most charming and thoughtful way


My goodness I love the way you occupy your lane. You are one of a kind. Brilliant.


please, please, please release this on Spotify!


Put this on spotify please oh no i love it


the fact that she can just like, write songs is wild to me .


"Laughing with no one" is litterely me when i tell a joke that i get from tweet but she didnt laugh with me 🙂


I imagine a future archaeologist "ting ting ting" discovering buried in rock "ting ting ting" a hard drive from our time.  He (or she) digs it out with a pickaxe. "ting ting ting"  Found on the drive is, among many others, is this song, giving context to the state of mind of the people of this tragic time. "ting ting ting"  Life goes on, humanity has learned (a bit) from its failures and the future is a tiny bit brighter than the present.  Well done Dodie.


I think you're the best thing I've found on youtube.


Step 1: Delete twitter.<br>Step 2: Live a happier life.

Step 1: Delete twitter.
Step 2: Live a happier life.


I WANT TO BUY THIS if this gets released i swear i’ll be living


IVE BEEN WAITIN FOR THIS ONE!!!!!
T U R N  I T  U P
I REMEMBER WHEN YOU DID THIS ON INSTAGRAM LIVE OH MY GOD


I have been waiting for this since you posted this on your story before! Ugh Twitter is a hellhole and we love and hate it!


It's baffling to me that you don't have a record deal. Don't stop, your music speaks to me. I know you will make it, don't give up, you got this!


Dear dodie,
Thank you so much for this song. I am from Poland and there is an election coming very soon. Sadly, our current president's tactic is to spread hate and allow the discrimination of LGBTQ+ people. Politicians say stuff like "LGBT is not people, it's an ideology", "They're not equal to normal people". And folks who support them are clapping and airing it on the news. This song gives me the feeling of understanding and acknowledging my pain.
I know that you have Polish family. Maybe you could spread the word on social media about it?
Either way, thank you so much.
Love,
your biggest fan


I can't tell if I feel anxious or inspired because of this song and i think that's the point? Wonderful work, Dodie <3


Oops. Sobbing. This perfectly encapsulates the feeling I've been railing against all month.


I remember this from one of your ig stories I think! also I'm getting la la land vibes like stylistically. great song 💕💕


I really like the song! Also...that is a really good camera, the videoquality is supercrisp.


aaaa this sounds so good!! I literally just uploaded a cover of she on my channel if u wanna check that out 🥺


She can make a beautiful song any anything


Never found a girl beautiful without seeing her, id throw a thousand stones just to see you flip once.

Louis rossman a man on a Mission to destroy apple


this and the impossible year cover are really nice to just.. think to


ugh this song is exactly how i feel about the police brutality, racism and downright murder going on in the world now. i share and sign lots of petitions and donate whenever i can but does anyone care? who am i to change the world when im just another someone on twitter? are we ever gonna get anywhere? feeling kinda hopeless and as a poc person, scared.


nothing has ever described the twitter vibe as accurately as this


I got really scared at one point when the duet started. I legit thought the mirror was singing


I have to listen to asmr now cuz my heart is aCHING THANKS A LOT DODIE THANKS A LOT 😭💖


This really hits different when you live in the middle east and nothing seems to ever change around here no matter what anyone does ...


I can imagine hearing this song in The Handmaid's Tale


Honestly, this song just screams <br>" we need to delete twitter right fucking now" lmaooo

Honestly, this song just screams
" we need to delete twitter right fucking now" lmaooo


That "I'm begging" felt so real, so true


i love you so muCh
but literally no matter how many times i try to cover one of ur songs
all i can think about is how ANGELIC ur voice is
and i get jealous
then i just stop getting jealous and talk to my friends about how much i love you
i dont know what i’m rambling about anymore


Wow, when it gets darker at 2:30 (literally darker, cloudy) it fits the tone so well.


Is this filmed in a different frame rate than normal?<br>It looks like its maybe 40fps or something? Whatever you've done it looks beautiful <3 Also I really love this song. Its exactly how i feel about the world.

I feel like this is the dark twin of "party tattoos". It just gives me that vibe


Me, yesterday evening, to a friend : yeah twitter is shit we just scream at the void believing we will be heard
dodie, her ear on the other side of the door : interesting start writing

Me, yesterday evening, to a friend : yeah twitter is shit we just scream at the void believing we will be heard
dodie, her ear on the other side of the door : interesting *start writing*


I literally don’t understand how people can dislike such wholesome music??


This is simply something we all need rn.


omg, i was listening to this song for the too-many-times time, and just realized now that before you published this song i wrote a very short song that fits with this one (at least with some parts of it) lol


As someone who writes songs as a coping mechanism "I will write, I will craft, watch me work through the pain" Gave me all the feels!


исключительно трогательно и красиво

исключительно трогательно и красиво


i think we can all agree that dodie is one of the best poets on earth rn


this is great, beautiful and a little sad 😍


omg!!! you made that tenor sound like a guitar - or is it a baritone? what chords are those?  just wow & your voice & expressions !!!


This one is begging for a studio version. ;)<br>Not that this cut isn't excellent in it's own Dodie charm way.

Not that this cut isn't excellent in it's own Dodie charm way.


I keep coming back to listen to this song, so goooooood


It’s a grave injustice that you can only like a video once


literally the only human being who can make a song about twitter good


I am blown away by the scene you have set there to perform your song! The mirror, and then I noticed ALL THE GREEN! I'm wondering if that's just your favorite color, or if you did that intentionally. Please do not tell me; fans should wonder.


It's finding the balance between social media being a place of social influence and change and social media being a quiet place for expression. And the balance is such a fine, delicate line - and that's scary


She reminds me of newt scamander in the most calming way.


This sounds fricking awesome also would go great on Witcher!


Can you please add this to Spotifyyyyy I love it


I’m listening to this while trying to get over my twitter addiction.


well at least you're taking your pain and fear and anger and turning it into art all i do is sit around and cry

hi yeah I couldn’t scroll by this in good conscience. I know the world is scary and unpredictable and I’ve honestly spent the last while doing the same as you because it can be overwhelming. it’s ok to cry it’s ok to sit around you have to give yourself time. we all have different methods of coping and I know when we see others who might have one we deem more “productive” it can put us down, but the thing to remember is to latch onto that small sliver of hope wherever it comes from, whether it’s solace in dodies music or in video chatting with your friends, hold onto the little things that make you happy, that make you smile, because even a small smile can make a difference and give someone else a chance at hope.


pleaseeeeeeeeeeeee post this on spotify. this is precious


Such a beautiful piece 🖤 it should be a Black Mirror soundtrack


Yet again the only word I can use to describe this is ethereal


It does just feel like a place in which all I can do is shout but it doesn’t even matter because those in power just ignore us. But i have to remember that making noise is important and we have to make even just one extra person aware of happening in the world in order to make change


Wooow how great you are-  Your song!! I love it!


Please for the love god let this be on spotify now/soon


The feeling I got through this was the same as when I watch cmbyn


me and my mom were cleaning the house and intertwined played from my playlist and she said she didn’t like your voice...

and so yeah that’s the story of why i’m moving out tomorrow


the kind of on edge vibe of this song is exactly what being on twitter is like. the constant underlying fear that something  you say will be misinterpreted or someone will disagree with you, whilst you watch atrocities play out on your timeline and there’s nothing you can do. there’s so much misinformation, so much anger and so much fear but in the midst of all of that so much humour and light! i think like anything ultimately it’s about moderation and recognising that these platforms can be inherently toxic if used all the time. i have to force myself to take breaks, put restrictions on my phone or even delete the app just so i can breathe for a bit


oh my god i remember hearing this on your insta(?) like 3 years ago and obsessing over the snippet and it’s finally here


Powerful ... scary as the times we life in.


The vibes from this are similar to burnt out, but darker. And the plucking pattern and rhythm reminds me a lot of rainbow. I really like it, it had elements of both songs while still being its own thing. It's really pretty.


im so glad you add the lyrics in the description because the subtitles do not like this song... haha . you should sell this in your next album.


Jeez why is Dodie such a bloody amazing songwriter


THIS IS BEAUTIFUL AND YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL🥺😭


holy heck you're so pretty and oh my god this is amazing


This song sounds like a song that would be played at an end of a movie when they give credits and stuff, it’s sounds really good


lovin the fact that your shirt matches your drawers. also this is so dytopian-esque i'm in love with it, kept thinking that your reflection was gonna  turn around and give an ominous movie stare lol


The funny thing is, I was actually considering getting a twitter account before I heard this. Now, I'm not so sure.


this sounds like it could be in the last of us, the vibes are immaculate


Gosh. I found dodie when I turned 19. Now I'm 24, it's like evertime I see a new video I think, "wow, we've grown up so much, and its  really scary."


This is really good. Great way to sum up current affairs tbh


Hi there i hope your having a good day today. If you need to talk about something feel free to. I love you all ❤❤ and dodie is amazing i love all her songs


Excellent as always! Quite entirely apropos.


You’re really good at playing that instrument, wow.


The mms in the chorus are so good. I feel like it’s like traveling over an arc, going .....——-^^^^——-....


I want a rock/metal cover of this soooo bad


i love how it builds up at the end so much


I was hoping something happy... but damn this hits a lot


I've got chills and tears from how real this is. It constantly seems like nobody's heard or like there's no way to change any of it, but I hope that everyone listening to your music is inspired to push even further for change. I love all of your music and this song is no exception. I have no words for how deeply I connect to everything you write. You're truly inspirational and I hope that all of this will change.


I REMEMBER U PUT THIS ON UR INSTA STORY LIKE A YEAR AGO AND I SCREEN RECORDED IG SONI COULD LISTEN TO IT AHAIN BECAUSE ITS BEAUTIFUL


This really just do be capturing all of our feelings about rn huh?


i love the new shelves😚 throwback to when you were so excited about them shipping in the mail 😂


This is song when we see the imperfections in our world


I like the song. But i feel like to really capture twitter in a song you would have to throw a bunch of rocks into a washing machine while blasting both darude, sandstorm and megalovania at max. volume in the background


I just got a guitalele (and named it Innocentia). I wrote a song for it, thought it was good. and then I heard this and... I mean... it turns pale compared to your song, dodie


The mirrors reflection is the closest thing we’ll get to swing what strumming pattern and chords Dodie uses 😂


Holy crap this song is beautiful and so relevant. Nice. Job. Wow.


tbh I never ever have the energy for twitter. there’s so much info on instagram, youtube and google that’s less tiring.


The mini harmonies in her songs are so refreshing


THIS IS SO SO SO BEAUTIFUL AND HAUNTING WOWOWO


I really love this song.<br>But now there may besome  light at the and of the tunnel. Come Novermber, there're hundreds of million people who CAN do something, namely vote.

I really love this song.
But now there may besome  light at the and of the tunnel. Come Novermber, there're hundreds of million people who CAN do something, namely vote.


I love how this is shot, just being able to see the ukulele in the mirror


that is really really really beautiful... what did I just hear...? :’)


The refrain is so clever. The rhythm and word choice....... dang it’s good                                                                Also I forget that what happens in the US matters to other nations, like the fact that you originally wrote this after trumps election is very interesting to me. Bc we were scared about it (well some of us were) but it’s wild that normal people in England was also concerned. And obviously I get why, but it’s still weird to think about


I genuinely believe twitter and social media is one of things destroying our social discourse and irreparably damaging more people daily than any other single issue.


i love how sort of.. ominous? the chords are i love i love i love i LOVE


I love it.<br>Doesnt resemple any music i ve heard before - a new doddie style🙃😉

I love it.

Oh look! Another song of Dodie I’m now obsessed with.<br>Grrrrreattt

Oh look! Another song of Dodie I’m now obsessed with.
Grrrrreattt


I... actually don't really have words for this.. the melody, harmonies, lyrics, your way of singing... the despair combined with calmness.. Woah... 😮


i have been waiting for this song since she played it on her insta story


dodie yellow is weeping with all the sage green but i AM HERE FOR IT 😍 also this is incredible 🥺🥺


i really need a studio version of this oof


From now on I’m going to respond to bigots on twitter with this


YAY I've been checking everyday for a new video, I'm so excited ( :<br>It was worth it!!

YAY I've been checking everyday for a new video, I'm so excited ( :
It was worth it!!


this is how i feel about twitter too. i can't stand it


this can easily be used in a dystopian film


I love you this is exactly what i was looking for


I messaged Dodie on Twitter once and never got a reply, possibly due to her getting a gazillion messages a day. Anyway I deleted twitter after 10 years of single handedly trying to inform the hopelessly ill informed. A thankless and depressing look into a dystopian world.


people like you deserve to live in a better time


the first failure of society is the thought that one cannot act - i am sure that you see how people around the world is taking a stance for the better - well that depends on your stance and view - some say it`s anarchy - but what i see is people taking back what was stolen from The People - again that depends on your stance of view


I had a feeling I should delete my Twitter account. Then this video was made. Dang timing is weird.


Wow I thought this would be a rather light song that mildly roasts Twitter,<br>but wow.

Wow I thought this would be a rather light song that mildly roasts Twitter,
but wow.


i literally just heard my parents talking shit about the protests and i couldn't say anything... it hurts.

Please hang on... There must be something we can do.


Oh my god the layering at the end is what i’ll hear entering heaven


Screaming at no one...<br>Why is that so accurate?

Screaming at no one...
Why is that so accurate?


ill just casually put this in my "staring at the wall" playlist


Jesus Christ, this is superb and haunting and resonates so strongly with me. Such talent.


that chorus is really strange and doesnt go in the direction you expect it to go but it flows so nicelyy


I love this song because you can be from either side of the political spectrum and still feel the importance of these words.


I was expecting cheesy lyrics with modern words in it, but daaaang was I wrong!


Twitter culture is the antithesis of intelectualism. Beautiful song tho


petition for someone to make a dystopian film and use this as part of the soundtrack


rbg just died and i came here immediately. i can only hope there’s someone elected into her place with the same morals but i’m almost positive that it won’t happen...


the best way to describe twitter is everybody yelling at once


Can't wait to one day here that Dodie is writing a song for James Bond


i live in the most important state (wisconsin) in the USA for this election (ie. electoral college) to help defeat trump in november and i will be voting him out.  that's what i can do.  i hope that makes you feel one vote better.  =)


Great song, but nothing to hear on a rainy Monday like today in Germany ... leaves you in a really sad 😢 mood


Oof just oof

Such a talent to write is a way that just hits ya bones. But also so so healing to hear something that truly speaks shows in a whole diffrent way you anit alone in what your feeling.


Oh here we go again... no other songs will be heard by me for weeks! 🥺


Remember that girl who sang with that guy a cover of awkward duet?

This is her now-

Edit: love your vids!❤


beautiful beautiful beautiful the lyricsss 😍


Listening to keep calm as the world literally burns around me today in Vancouver, WA/ Portland, OR


this gives me hunger games vibes and I love it


if this isn’t on spotify i’m going to be very sad


Okay but like the dodie in the mirror feels like a separate entity of her own that could rise up dramatically and strangle the real dodie anytime.... is it just me


that is beautifully dark, and I think still fitting


this was posted on my bday best present ;A; I love you so much dodie!!! <3333


I honestly don't know why Dodie is so underrated. This song is hauntingly beautiful!! She's nailed it yet again as a brilliant songwriter. I love you Dodie, for making great music while spreading an important message. Thank you.


I WAS WAITING FOR THIS SONG SINCE YOU POSTED IT ON YOUR INSTAGRAM STORIES A FEW YEARS AGO


honestly expected this to just be inherent screaming for 3 min straight


They should play this song in a movie or show


I have twitter but I’m not into it deep enough for it to be toxic


This resonated so much. It felt so real and hit so hard with the way things are and I loved it. I want to say that it feels like a song from the Hunger Games but to say that this feeling can only be fiction would be a lie. It's an amazing song that brings a little more of an ominously spoken truth to the world and not gonna lie there's just a bit of an unending <b>panic</b> feeling behind everything right now that's a bit terrifying lol but most of us have very little control over the way things are. Twitter is a mess right now and there's so much hate going around. It breaks me to see so much pain where people had done nothing to deserve that pain. It all just stings a bit I guess but to anyone seeing this comment, please stay safe

can this be uploaded to Spotify???? please.


Nice. A bit haunting. I have listened to this 3 times in a row now.


I like it. I love your picking style on this one. Someday you will come back to Portland so I can hear it live?


This song is so sad. “‘Please open your mind,’ we sob from a screen.” “What do I do? What do we do? Nothing we can do.” 2020 in a nutshell. I came here to laugh but ended up crying... 😢


Ohhh! We can do soooo much !! We are powerful!!!


I've stopped having panic attacks about Twitter and started having panic attacks about time signatures.


Really cool how your reflection sang harmony.


can't believe we dance for no one, in my mind a fire is burning, surrounded by a circle of caravans, shadows flicker in the flames and a dancer clicks her fingers, completely absorbed in movement, she dances for us all ...


Can you write a song that is a response to this one? One that uses some of the lyrics but flips it to be a song that calls for action and encourages others to use their seemingly small voice to make big changes. ......I think that would be a cool dichotomy.


Life is significantly better without social media


listen. this song is the nice burn in your calves, leaves in the air swishing, climbing the soft-peaked hills, dodging tree roots, throwing up tan dust, coming upon a Renaissance in a clearing, sieved photons throwing themselves into gravity’s siren song before dismantling; a martyr for life.


random question but, are all the strings on your ukulele low tuned? love yous o much! xx


How do you make the ukelele sound beautifully forlorn, I strum a minor chord and it still sounds like rainbows and smiles!


this sounds like it would be used in an episode of grey's anatomy


I’m just a black woman trying to survive but everyone on Twitter makes me SO ANGRY


YouTube is on drugs and this is just beautiful so far.


For the first few seconds there I thought you had produced a song for the new Last of Us game... another beautiful track from you.


I know the internet is such a toxic scary place. But please don’t even stop posting. I know it can feel like ur shouting into a void sometimes, but I hear you. And I want to keep hearing you. We all hear you.


With the ability to only see your hands moving in the mirror, it looks like you could have had your reflection playing something different and would have been so trippy.


I'm not much into twitter and can't say I grasp the full meaning of this - but still, it's one of the lovliest songs I've heard from you so far. Immediate classic that will go on repeat more than once for sure - I just hope I'll find it on Spotify and/or bandcamp? :)
<3xo

Ps: I've just read the description. Aha! Now I get it. Maybe I should consider reading before commenting - but then I might not know what to say..? :D
So uhm... nvm. Hugsies & TTFN!

Hey Dodie, you should consider checking out the International Songwriting Competition. All styles of original music are accepted and judges include Coldplay, Dua Lipa, Tom Waits, Bebe Rexha, and many more.


Twitter can be the best and the worst. It can mess with you , please be careful and take a break if you need to


God Dodie, this is just so brilliant.
Melody, phrasing, texture.
You have really grown as a musician.
Not only that but this song is just so powerful with life at the moment, everything feels like there is "nothing i can do". I live in South Australia, im so lucky to have has 0 new cases in the past 20 days and have no active cases in my state overall.
But i still watch america go in flames and the whole world struggle.
This is my year 12 year and i could be missing my formal/graduation.
As a musician i have missed so many concerts i was going to play this year.
It all just feels hopeless and that i am stuck not being able to do anything to help anyone.


I feel like I remember this one from like 2 years ago on her instagram story


but actually this is vibe i get when i go on twitter


OMG! you didn’t spend 4 hours on your makeup 💄?!  J.K your makeup 💄 is fine.  pretty song.  Very idealistic


“Just after trump was elected”<br>Oh boy didn’t this age like milk

“Just after trump was elected”
Oh boy didn’t this age like milk


I don’t know quite how you manage it. You can cover topics that are often very surreal and sinister, the lyrics crafted eloquently with subtle shades of darkness and gravity. Relatable in so many ways.

But, if I ignored the lyrics and listened to the softness of the tune, or the tone of your voice, I could forget the sinister meaning behind the words.

You’ve managed to mix the two together in a perfect blend of irony. You sing softly but about real, hard-hitting truths. And I love that.


Can anyone tell me the chords for this?x


we can do it if we believe we can, I believe we can....do you?


the fact that she lives in the UK and can still smell trump’s stench. i’m so sorry😔

actually i take back that sorry i couldn’t vote at the time so it’s not my fault


Honestly I haven't been using much social media lately, I find my time is better spent reading, sewing, breathing, trying to catch up on my school work lol. The only exceptions are WhatsApp to talk to my friends coz lonely, YouTube to make me smile on a bad day and to discover jems like this, and Pinterest for writing advice, funny fandom posts, and pretty dresses to make, I keep all my boards private lol


What can we do? Letting it be seems  like too much though.


It's like midnight where I'm at but I ain't even mad this is so beautiful


When you’re listening to this while on Twitter...


I feel like this would feel right at home in the credits of The Hunger Games or Last Of Us II


I REMEMBER YOU PUTTING THIS ON YOUR INSTA STORY YEARS AGO!


I don't think I've been this early since 2015.

On a more relevant note, I haven't used twitter since 2015-ish either, cause it's stopped making sense to me. I remember, once upon a time, when there were two types of people: 'I have twitter' and 'twitter is boring'. You could tell so much about them.
I actually miss the early days of twitter. I miss everything internet-wise. Dang.


My God, I have found my new favorite artist


Does anyone remember that Oli lost a blend battle to Joel and Joel wrote smth about Dodie on Twitter and she retweeted it?


Twitter is like the place in religion where everyone is miserable and terrible to each other. It is toxic and I truly hate it


can dodie please write an album i would die if


my brain after the first 2 seconds of the video: take a look at the clock only so long to go

sorry this is so good as usual


This sounds so familiar, did dodie play this on an instagram live before?


The fact that you wrote this after trump was elected, like I actually felt that. I genuinely cried because I knew stuff like this was going to happen


I love that we can see the ukulele in the mirror and see the plucking.


ty dodie for posting a song on my bday heheh best B-day present lol


Is this available on Spotify or other music stream platforms?


The chorus is us realising these songs won’t be officially released


Watch/listen to this video at 0.75 speed. it leaves even more of an ominous and spooky vibe


I’ve never had twitter because I feel like it isn’t necessary. I feel like it’s a terrible place to put out things and to see things, it scares me.


6 views but 25+ likes. How does YouTube work?

Btw... Great work as usual Dod 😊👍🏻


Lmao I’m not bold enough to go on twitter but please take care of yourself y’all.


.... Danggggggg,PHENOM! BY The first few notes,...."you had me at 'ting-ting, ting ting'..."(sorry for the Jerry Maguire reference) haha.

You're awesome!!!!!!! 💕💕💕


Did anyone else instantly recognise this from her insta stores AGES ago??? Just me? Okay...


bro i'm in love with the fact that her shirt and dresser match


I see u scrolling through the comments while listening to the song 👁👄👁


amazing song, but an idea would be if you split screen you singing the backing vocals in the mirror later into the song, idk how hard that is to edit personally but it would be an insane lil challenge


HI UM IDK IF ANYONE REMEMBERS THIS BUT I THINK SHE POSTED THIS ON HER INSTA STORY BEFORE AND IS THERE ANYONE ELSE THAT REMEMEBERS THIS OR AM I CRAZY!?!?


is anyone gonna talk about how cool the angle is she filmed this in


this sums up the frustrations of internet activism so much


<b>likes immidiatly because i dont need to hear the song i know it will be amazing</b>

*likes immidiatly because i dont need to hear the song i know it will be amazing*


She had this song written for 3 years ???? It was written after trump was elected but I think it works even better now


I feel like I've kept screaming that human rights shouldn't be a fucking debate into the void (aka conservatives) for the last two years. I relate to this far too much.


Love how I was just on Twitter when she uploaded this XD


YESSS only been waiting 3 years since you posted that clip on your story omd this song is so goooooddd (and even more relevant now sadly)


Sounds like placing too much hope in twitter


early!<3 I hope everyone who reads this knows that they’re loved & worthy :). everything will be okay soon. you don’t have to be productive, just keep breathing, that’s enough, you’re enough. I love u all <3.


i want this produced and on spotify or i WILL attack


This. And nothing but this. Once again, INCREDIBLE


I'm not sure why but this gave me the same feeling as when Pippin sang in LOTR


everything in this video is sage green and I love it


Twitter's architecture as a platform is so broken. There needs to be another platform which doesn't have a commercial interest which lets us interact with each other


This song reminds me so much of how 2020 is affecting people for better and for worse


I REMEMBER THIS SONG FROM YOUR INSTAGRAM STORY AWHILE BACK


“we’re dancing for no one”: when there’s unrelated K-POP fancams under tweets

I think this is my favourite dodie song? Ohmygoodness...


What are the chords? I would love to play this!

Damn YT is broken: I wrote a comment with chords 6 minutes before yours and, from another account, I cannot see it. Here are the chords (copy-paste from previous comment):
 --- Easy version ---

verses:

Dm | Bb C  /x3

Bb C | (Dm)

pre-chorus:

Bb C | G  /x2

chorus:

Dm | Bb C

 --- Real version ---

verses:

Dm | Bbmaj7 Asus4/C  /x3

Bbmaj7 Asus4/C | (Dm)

pre-chorus:

Bb C | G  /x2

chorus:

Dm | Bbmaj7 Asus4/C

 --- Notes ---

Asus4/C goes on guitar like that (from bass strings): X32230.

Or you can play Cadd9 instead (X32030).

Due to differences in notation, here are some translations:

Bb - B-dur, Dm - d-moll


Kind of sounds like a song that could be in the Hunger Games
