It seems that way because it's a brilliant description of the anxiety that comes from having impaired social intuition and the fatigue/confusion that come with trying to mask it all day every day in a very humanising way.
Not offensive at all! As someone with anxiety, I feel like this all the time. It sucks, but I've found people I can be loud and crazy with, which is an amazing feeling in contrast :)
This song hits harder when you're sitting off to the side of the Christmas party, it having been made very clear you're an outsider in your own family.

Seeing this a year later and being home alone. Not invited to my grandmother's house every year. It's Christmas I'm home alone. Single father and my daughter is at her grandparents house.
As somebody who has Aspergers I literally started crying listening to this. I struggle with social cues, I don't understand jokes, I misinterpret sarcasm as criticism and begin to apologise, I don't understand instructions and phrases unless you are straight to the point. I struggle with education because of the way my brain is wired, which always confuses people because of my advanced vocabulary and my understanding of complicated systems. My parents have always described me as bright and I feel I'm letting them down with the way my brain works.
@Isabela Hart sometimes it's just hard to exist outside of the social norms. Because I don't learn the same way other people do I'm left behind by the school system. It certainly is strange.
@Feral wizard very late reply, but I do sometimes feel like an alien because everyone else feels far away? Not quite here, not sure how to describe it but just I know I’m different and I learn differently as you said as well :)
I’m not exactly a “neurotypical” person. I fall into the category of neurodiverse, because of my ADHD and OCD.
I am amazed at the unique perspectives, intellect, and resilience of people with Aspergers. There is so much that neurotypicals and people like myself can learn from you.
While I can’t imagine what it’s like to cope with the things you do, I know how it is to feel isolated, or when people just don’t seem to “get” you and how your brain works. My ADHD is severe, and - especially before I was medicated- it shows in almost every area of my life. I have felt inadequate and guilty for not being able to keep time commitments, maintain concentration, remember things, start new friendships/relationships, not irritate people or cause them impatience, etc. My ADHD is the main reason I struggle with anxiety, too.
There are so many societal standards we are expected to meet. Some feel extra restrictive, or are simply confusing/ illogical. I TOTally feel this. It is unfortunately common for people to assume that their way of experiencing the world is the same as others’. To quote @Isabela Hart, "it is strange having a differently wired brain hey?" ;)
I commend Aspies, you inspire me, AND I send each of you a second hug. :)
i feel like a new dodie era has started, her lyrics are getting more complicated and she’s singing more in her lower register! amazing as always of course!
Yeah, I've felt a tangible shift and so far the new dodie era has had me going going back to listen to early Puddle of Mudd a lot and I am very very here for it! I don't even know if the dates overlap in such a way that it could even be cited as an influence!? Really enjoying it!
I noticed a shift post Jacob Collier. Dodie's harmonies have shifted to a really cool richness, and I am here for it let me tell ya. I really love how she's grown in this area. All her songs are so unique!!
@Colo_Seth Yess, It's still high because she has a naturally high register but I as a guy I can manage to sing most of it (not all of it lol) without having to drop an octave. And I usually can't with her songs.
i don't usually comment but i feel compelled to today—
i've been watching your videos since i was 14 (i'm now 19) and i feel like i've grown up alongside you. watching a video of yours (whether old or new) always feels like coming home... like a cozy blanket and a big cup of tea. your music is so unique and i feel it so so deeply. i wish i had the words to explain it right lol but you constantly amaze me with your originality and the mix of your harmonies & poignant lyrics. it never fails to hits me right in the heart!
in some ways i think of you as a friend. i struggle with social anxiety and dissociation and hearing you discuss topics such as these makes me feel less alone. thank you for everything. you have no idea how excited i am for your coming projects <3
god i have the same story. been listening since i was 13, now 16. been so in love with dodie and she showed me who i am. i have met so many friends though her music, at concerts and online. dodie helped me come into my own.
strangely dodie helped me come out literally as well 😳
Dodie, you're practically a personal psychologist, but instead of asking questions you answer them in abstract ways and I love it. Thank you :) We appreciate you.
Well said. Joseph Campbell (The Hero With a Thousand Faces) said something similar about poets' communicating truths about reality that can't be simplified into easy statements. Ideas that can only be explained with art and then understood in that way. Sorry I'm not enough of an artist to share the concept more clearly. Dodie seems to be channeling concepts in this manner yes?
Please don't do this. While majority of us can cope better, some people need ACTUAL therapy. Go to actual real therapist and don't put the burden on artists.
She should be a musical therapist !! I’ve heard of people who therapise patients and write songs for them based specifically on their experiences so that they can listen to it and feel better :3
As someone who is figuring out their gender identity this is very relatable. Gender is a performance which I am simultaneously failing and succeeding at.
So I came out to my friends with “she” and it’s still my favorite song you’ve helped me through a lot and it’s amazing how beautiful your voice is, I’m 12 years old but I’ve listen to all your songs 💝
I don't quite know how dodie makes song writing seem so easy. Her lyrics and music just feel so effortlessly amazing. I love this though!! It feels so comfortable but also pushes me to the edge of my seat because I'm waiting for more, waiting for the next lyric to satiate this thirst the last one brought. I've never really found an artist who has been able to do this for me, I'm so happy I did
like all artist, i’m sure she struggles with her lyrics it’s like how everyone shows all their hardest work yet they don’t show all the crumpled documents in the trash can
@Donut Max I get that! I find it very difficult to actually share the things I create, which is why I'm in awe of dodie's willingness to share her demos and the unfinished 'not very good' things. It gives me hope as an aspiring artist that talented artists go through growing pains and have crappy creative days, but it also gives me hope that effortlessly beautiful tracks like this can exist from the same person.
@ember Just keep it up! Do your best and you'll know when you want to share your art (if you don't, give it a try anyway). Sending you my support and inspiration :)
ember hey honey, i believe in you!! im in a real bad art block and writing block currently but you go!!!!! we stan!!!!!!! i know you’re going to do great things <3
It's so meaningful to have support like this!! Truly these comments have been so helpful, thank you so much for the support! I'm going to do everybody proud 💞
Sprezzatura ([sprettsaˈtuːra]) is an Italian word that first appears in Baldassare Castiglione's 1528 The Book of the Courtier, where it is defined by the author as "a certain nonchalance, so as to conceal all art and make whatever one does or says appear to be without effort and almost without any thought about it". Must be so much work goes into this, she's just a master.
This might be wrong, but this sounds like a process of learning you're asexual. Not Dodie's, just someone's. Listen to it closely, maybe you'll hear it too :)
I think it can apply to anyone feeling out of place or like they're faking something to fit it. A very relatable feeling indeed. Me faking my straightness:
@SeerOfTime Awesome!! Just know you're valid and you do fit in. Your sexuality doesn't change who you are and you're a wonderful human being. Thanks for dropping by with some positive vibes :)) Have a great day!!
@Space Cyaaatttsss Oh my gosh, thank you so much... This kind message just made my day! Same to you, of course. You are valid and deserve happiness, no matter what~
@SeerOfTime Thank you!! I can't see you, but your smile is beautiful and you deserve more kindness than the world could ever give you. Have a good day/night, friend!!
😭I was loving the song and feeling a lot of differnet ways, but once I went down the comments to post about having ADHD+anxiety and relating, and saw all of the comments from people like me... then the tears started to fall 😪It's so good to know you're not alone! I don't realize sometimes that I really struggle with social cues, obviously I realize it while it's happening but I tend to just blame myself and say I'm screwing up. This song helped me realize that it's my ADHD, my anxiety and my depression that cause this to happen, and I shouldn't beat myself or blame myself for struggling to relate to people and make new friends. It's not my fault, I'm not alone... and maybe it can get better. Love you all and thank you for sharing your stories! Dodie, same to you - thank you for sharing your experience through this song.
Feeling the lyrics of a song on a deep and personal level is the mood to anytime I listen to something dodie has written. How can a song, a verse, a chorus resonate with so many people in such a meaningful and intimate way. Weird to think that feeling misunderstood, weird, out of place and even lonely is what's actually bringing us together, united and accepted. Love you Dodie from France x
"Weird to think that feeling misunderstood, weird, out of place and even lonely is what's actually bringing us together, united and accepted." Beautifully put :)
Same same! I hope you all know that you're not broken or missing something, you're just wired differently, and in my opinion, neurodivergent people seem to be more open and understanding as opposed to the neurotypicals, which seems ironic due to all our stereotypes!
Same! I lowkey have the urge to make an animatic abt it with this song because it just captures so much of my school experience. It's physically difficult for me to go out of my way and actually initiate a friendship (though quite often i really do wanna make friends and meet new people) and to try and help with that I joined several larger groups in school and got excluded in every single one. Hopefully it'll be a bit better in college or a workplace environment, but I'm doubtful honestly. Anyways this is rambly now so I'm gonna end the comment here have a lovely morning/afternoon/night.
@Cole Walsh Honestly im not sure how to do it, I guess if people could start dropping their instagram @'s I could create something there, that might be the best way to go forward
I never quite understood the feeling I would have when listening to your music, but I think I do now. It’s that deep ache that tugs at my soul, the kind of ache that fits how my mind feels no matter the moment, where I can feel on top of the world or like crying deep into the night. but I feel as though that is the very way to describe Dodie herself, a person we’ve gotten to watch grow in so many ways.
this song literally jives so hard I’m shaking I need to just like dance to this so bad and the chords MMMH YUM every little note is so purposeful and ethereal together oh my gosh ty for the cool song
Youtube just recommended me your song Doddle. I'm not familiar with your work but it's really beautiful. Thank you for sharing and letting us enjoy your gift, it makes our world a better place. :)
everytime i hear your music i feel like i belong <3 also, i love the darker shade! it brings out the green more and matches with the stuffed animal on the couch :))
i really relate to this song. it's so beautifully worded and it says all the things i experience everyday. i'm autistic and i have to work really hard calculating in my head a good response to things. and i find it hard to talk to people i want to be friends with but i don't want them to think i don't like them if i'm quiet. really good song.
dpdr, adhd, social anxiety, feeling like an alien, why do i not function like all of you? will i ever? feeling like an alien faking being human right now, and always..
The way your music has evolved over the past two years or so has been so incredible! Every new song you put out becomes a favorite. The chord progressions are so complex and unique and even the way you write lyrics now has matured and I’m so excited for what comes next!
Even without the music, the lyrics work so well. I think this is something people can relate too in one way or another, at some point in their life. It’s beautiful.
i was really, really about to write that lol, the entire song has a beatles-y vibe to it... she absolutely has been listening to them during the lockdown period haha
@Dante Parra Omg this is So Creepy but THE EXACT SAME THING HAPPENED TO ME!!!! Like, why am i singing eleanor rigby?? And literally went back to the pc and read the comments
I COME BACK MONTHS AFTER LISTENING TO THIS FOR THE FIRST TIME, JUST TO REALISE I ACCIDENTALLY DISLIKED THE FIRST TIME! I LIKED IMMEDIATELY I LOVE THIS SONG :<
You got this amazing magic with dynamics, lyrical rhythm, and that unique mix of casual language so it almost makes the especially poetic hit even harder while uplifting every bit of conversational language. Plus, your voice is so hypnotic and captivating. You write these songs that get stuck in my head from the first listen, but they always kinda feel like they were in there already because of how relatable and catchy they are. You're more than a little genius. Thanks for sharing your awesomeness.
Ahh I know I’m late but I came back to listen to this again (for who knows what time I’ve listened to it so much) but I finally let the lyrics sink in and as someone with anxiety these lyrics resonate with me so much. Thank you Dodie, you always write such lovely songs ✨✨
I have struggled with being social since I was little. I don't have any diagnosis to explain why I act how I do, but it's taken me this long to understand I don't need one. I can be socially awkward because that's just who I am, and that's okay.
This tone of this song gives off the same attitude of "Yep, I've got no clue how any of this works, but I'm dealing with it, even if I get down and insecure about it too." It's just a hopeful little song of solidarity, and it makes me feel very happy. Powerful song Dodie, very powerful.
I love everything about this. The Bb minor chord, the way all the background voices slip in and out so the first really obvious entrance enhances the high point of the song, just all the little details in both the songwriting and the arrangement.
I love how I needed a song like this with how shitty I'd been feeling the past week and here comes Dodie with a song about feeling like you don't belong.
This song is wonderful and I love the aesthetic. It's like a vision of the old days, just in a new light. You used to sit in front of a wall and playing your music, back when you were just a person with ambition. Love this.
I remember when i was younger listening to Dodie and being so happy. I would listen too her songs with my dad all the time. Although he was more of a rock kinda person he would listen to it with me cause he knew it made me happy. We didn't normally see eye to eye but when it came to her songs, he'd always be there next to me. I'd be in the garage singing to her songs and my dad would come out and dance with me, and for that short time I felt everything was calm and happy. At his funeral 4 years ago I chose one of her songs to play. No one else understood it but for a moment I wasn't scared. Two years ago I was told I have a variation of Dissociation disorders. Since i'm only 17 they said they can't give me a solid diagnosis, because they don't want to make a false claim. It took me a long time to understand I wasn't the only one who felt this way. I felt like I was a freak, like I wasn't going to be worth anything or do anything good with my life. But knowing that someone amazing like you was able to face it made me feel like I had a chance.
Sorry about the rant I just want to say..
*Thank you Dodie for EVerything you do for us. Thank you for giving us hope. Thank you for being you, because even on your darkest days you're still a ray of sunshine. *
So much of her music strikes such a powerful chord with me that I start crying about halfway through a lot of her songs. The ones with messages like this one, you onow
i’m always so in awe with your chord progressions and just your overall talent with music composition. not to mention thought provoking, genuine, and clever lyrics. really great stuff :)
THIS! THIS IS IT EXACTLY!! I hold my tongue cuz I know once I start talking I ramble and can’t shut up, I always end up saying something that I wish I didn’t :/ so I just don’t talk at all
So easy to listen to, great timing, beautiful harmonies. Such a story in the words. Hit's somewhere you may not have known existed. Well done all around.
I love how while the whole song is about it, the actual words "I don't quite belong" are so fast and quickly covered by the long "oohs" like it's an admission that she's trying to distract from immediately...so beautiful and relatable
She is such a gifted musician and songwriter! My god, just when I think Dodie can't get any better, she impresses me even more. This is a great song! I don't know how she keeps coming up with new unique and brilliant song ideas. She truly is talented. And gifted.
Weirdly enough I think I kinda like this with minimal production, it feels very intimate and hushed. I'm getting like A Moon Shaped Pool vibes from this.
These chords.. just this whole sound is so good I love it. Feels like you have control over everything going on and all the different things are working in harmony to create that mood. Like the background parts shift with everything else too instead of staying static. I love this. I love all of these new songs and the idk how to describe it. The chord progressions keep being so interesting and emotive and so gorgeous to listen to. I love it.
You don't even have to be all the way introverted or otherwise struggling with social interaction to get what's being said here. You don't have to always feel all of it to appreciate it, and to be reminded to look closer for signs of discomfort in other people and try to be there in a way that helps, how nice. What an amazing public service and also really incredible catchy song, you might have helped a lot of people here, thanks!
I know we all know dodie's lyrics are amazing but can we also appreciate the MUSIC that she writes because it's seriously something else :') It's literally at a different level and understanding of music while other artists are just strumming 2 chords over and over again
This kinda feels like my experience with autism and making friends the words fit so right oh I wish I could get the code 😅 always felt like an alien...glad others feel like an alien too ❤️ nice to not feel alone :) oh also may I add to anyone who supports autistic people don’t listen to autism speaks go red instead!! Fuck the blue puzzle piece!
I was going to say this too. I'm nerotypical (as far as i know), but this sounds so much like the ways ive heard people describe socializing with autism.
EnlightenedSavage That's not what they were saying at all. As a person with autism, they feel it represents that part of them really well, not that it can't represent a part of someone who isn't autistic
This feels tastefully inspired by Eleanor Rigby, similar in the line "taking my time in the back..." and all matching melodic lines. Matching mysteriousness with a quirky and happy feeling instead.
When I was younger, I constantly yearned to meet a group of people I'd effortlessly blend into. I was always jealous of people who recounted their times with a giant group of friends. I wished I could have something like that. But I always felt as though something was off about me, internally. Anyway, now I'm older. I understand that while I'll never have a large group of friends, I have a few friends I really can call family. I still feel as though there's something that isn't quite right about me, like I'm a little smudged or not completely all there. So I listen to this with a smile, sympathy and empathy for those going through this - and the wonder if I'll ever find out what this feeling I have is. How does Dodie manage to get into brain all the time?!
@☆ saturniidae ☆ me and one or two close friends sat together and i guess over time more and more people who felt like they didn't fit in joined our table and we always included everyone but even tho I'm not super close with all of them i have a couple more close friends and they are always very supportive 😊 it's hard to be confident and welcoming instead of nervous it took me a while but these friends were worth the wait
Laura Vaughan - aw well congratulations and you’ll probably get closer over time. good luck with all of them and good job getting over your nervousness :)
dodie i really like this song. your bg vocals sound like a keys pad. im always amazed by you. actually your christmas vids blow my mind! you make me laugh. blessings to you.
Hello from Brazil! Wow, dodie! I swear I'm going through a very difficult phase of my life now and this song put my thoughts into art. I admire you a lot for a long time and you never stop making me passionate and enchanted by your music. You're amazing ❤
Mannnnn that harmony! also a lot of dodie's tunes recently seem to be set in these abstract semi-fictional universes, all feel a lot like being lost, unsure, yet excited, its a unique feeling.
i don't know what you're doing, but your voice seems to have grown SO MUCH over the last year, like, it's always been stunning but it sounds stronger and smoother (your control is insane), and! your writing!! just keeps getting more delicious and rounded and and and yeah just keep it up, you're SO lovely.
Is it just me or have dodies songs been feeling a little more... wordy? Like lately it feels like she’s been playing with syllables, and this song especially is like bouncing from word to word, a little rushed and panicked but also trying to keep it cool. Absolutely stunning dodie! Definitely not a 6/10 💝
I feel like this is that meme where there's all the people standing with their swords on the table with the table being "relating to this song" and all the people are labeled "ppl w/derealization, ppl w/ADHD, autistic ppl, ppl w/anxiety"
Sydney Stafferton Sydney Stafferton Ah thank you. I couldnt figure out why I related this much to the song while not having anxiety, adhd or something like that. Now I remembered that I'm asexual 😅
3/4 of these for me eyy. At least I think I have derealization, not diagnosed, but I relate to the symptoms a lot. I also have diagnosed ADHD and semi diagnosed anxiety (also GAD just runs in my family, my parents and older sister have it and I relate to most all of the symptoms very much)
This song pretty much sums up how I felt all year last year and early this year. thanks to dodie I actually got through it. I never want to know where i would be without her and her music. Thank you for helping me through my trials through sharing your own <3
"Holding hands like it’s planned, how do they know what they mean" THIS this is exactly how I've been feeling ALL month trying to fit in and figure out how everyone around me seems to have some automatic connection with each other while I'm just over here being awkward haha
I was telling a friend of mine, just last night as I was showing him 'Burned Out...' What I love about Dodie's music is that it is so simple in it's presentation, yet so immensely complex in it's effect. She's brilliant!
Ahh I love this 💖 of course I do, it Dodie. She could sing "hi" over and over and I'd think it's the most amazing thing, but this one really hits hard 😭 what did we do to deserve you??
Dodie, this is quickly becoming my favorite one of your songs. Smooth, lovely, jazzy, love the background harmonies, and the chord structure is incredible!!!
Ironically, I believe that EVERYONE belongs; they just need to find their proper place in the world. Furthermore, the only one who knows their proper place in the world is YOU~
dodies aesthetic is so pretti- just herself with the color of her skin and lips and hair and eyes together. then her beautiful color of clothes. plus the instrument + background. then there’s her voice- which somehow fits her aesthetic and is just angelic in general aghhh <3 i love
it's so wierd . i didn't get it till now but when people say "your music saved me" i was thinking that they are overreacting. but apperantly that was a thing and it is wierd. like your music is so positive it makes me happy and life gets shinier and i'm so thankful that i found your music oof so many emotions :") im gonna go by luv u ❤
I think she was going to drop something big just before the pandemic hit (probably a bunch of songs worth taking on tour). Not sure if she decided to wait until it calmed down or what, but I'm looking forward to whatever it is!
i'm a relatively new fan, this was actually my introduction to you. already i've known most of her songs for months so let me tell you, this song, this vibe, this upcoming album, this whole dodie era as a whole, has been an excellent introduction
You're so beautiful dodie. Your voice is equally as stunning. I love you and you've helped me through everything. Your lyrics always mean so much to me. The bittersweet in most of your songs is what I love in music. Thank you for being so amazing and sorry for the silly rant
This feels oddly cathartic after just losing my living situation in last couple days without notice XD Keep up the wonderful work you wonderful bean <3
this song describes something in me that i’ve never been able to put my finger on. it’s like the feeling that you have so many acquaintances, but nobody knows you well enough to actually be your close friend, and you only call them a friend to seem kind so it’s not awkward. it’s the feeling like you don’t completely fit in anywhere and it’s almost like you’re your own little genre of person but instead of feeling unique, you just feel confusing and lost.
You inspire me every time I hear you 🥺 and help me be confident in my own music and my own channel, so thank you. I wish you could see this and know that there is someone out there that your music and energy has helped so much 💛
Omggg this was amazing!!! And the harmonies sounded soo cooool and so different somehow!!!!! I love this song now oh my gosh! I am going to listen to it on repeat 😍
Love your songs! You're one of my favourite lyricist, really love your content, melody of cours on point too :D I can feel that you write about your feelings and experiences but you do it in a way that so many people can relate exactly to the lyrics or they can put their own meaning to it (which is something i personally value very much)
this is absolutely lovely and i can't wait for it to get out on spotify!!! i love you and your music, dodie, and you never fail to make me smile and feel emotional. :)) - from a fan
im on a nostalgia trip watching vids from 2015 and stuff and knowing that i've watched you for nearly 6 years is crazy to me. your videos are one of the reasons i managed to make it through 2016 - 2019 and you inspire me so much, i just wanted to say thank you so much, it's crazy how much a stranger on the internet has helped me. i hope you're doing okay too!! heres to another 6 years <3!!
DODIEEEEEEE this is probably my favorite of the one-offs you've done this year!!! i just love the thick harmonies that have a lot of dissonance (major seconds?) and the little chromatic bass thingy n the theme of the lyrics???? just sounds like a BLAST also i am so so excited for this new stuff wow i've been yearning for a full length dodie album for a while now and i am interested to see how you make it because you ARE an outstanding composer and lyric writer thanks for constantly being a source of inspo !
This reminds me of dealing with denationalization and the subsequent feeling of being an impostor in my own body. It's been years since my last real episode but the feeling never really goes away. So like... this song is an anthem for that. It's great. <3
i'm loving the beatles influenced sound and i can connect to those lyrics so much. I really feel like an alien trying to pass as a normal human a lot of the time.
wow i- this song is so beautiful. i’ve been listening to your music since absolutely smitten and just wow. they just keep getting beautiful-er and every time i think ok it can’t possibly get better than this and every time i’m so wrong and i just think that’s crazy❤️❤️
Thank you dodie. I’ve been heavily disassociating for like a month or so and hearing your music helps calm me down when I start getting scared or nervous. Thank you for all that you do and all that you’ve done to help me through tough times. You don’t know me but you’ve been such an important part of my life these past few years ;; keep it up! You are wonderful
I just absolutely love your songwriting. It truly feels like the words are so connected and tailor made to my emotions. And man do you improve an evolve with every song! I can't wait (but alas I will) for those big things in your future <3
Hey Dodie! I've been listening to your music on youtube for a long time but I recently heard one of your songs on the radio in Hamburg (Germany) and I felt so proud haha
First off: the song!! How on earth do you somehow mix that feeling of uncertainty and coming to terms with something in your own head (don't know if that made sense, but I hope you somehow got it lol)
Second: if you wanted my opinion on the paint, I have to agree with the lighter brown. It helps not hide the beautiful deep green in a lot of darker shades.
The guitalele playing is absolutely flawless! Your voice always is, but wow so impressed with how well you play and create such clear percussion and rhythm!
I love everything about this song. The lyrics, the rhythm(?), the way you put such complex feelings into so few words... I relate so much to this. You're amazing, Dodie!
one of the things I admire most about you is that you have never settled into any version of yourself. you're shaping and shifting and evolving and it is so evident in your songwriting. thank you for being honest about your uncertainties, your listeners appreciate your honest music. <3
Hello Doddeledoo:)), i recently was told to listen to your music. and honestly i'm stunned on your lyrics. in my opinion this song, can/might...deserve, to be added some more 'instrumental vibe' it has potential.
And if you look to your left now you'll see dodie, once again reaching into my soul and plucking everything I've been feeling recently to a soft earwormy tune. (The lighter colour is nicer).
GOD I LOVE THIS. it hits so hard. MWAH thank you for putting words to this feeling. and in a way I think all of us in the comments & even those who haven’t seen this but feel the same way etc anyways we sort of have a disjointed belonging together in not quite belonging, if that makes sense? here there be misfits. anyways, thank u again miss dodie!!!!! Beautifully written & sung!!!!!! ps I like the lighter color too tbh
This song just brings me so much peace god I feel like the entire just like simple timbre of it resonates with my whole life right now geez dodie how do u do it

mmm nice harmony in those chords. adds a sense of confusion that fits so well!
Same. This is such a good description of the social issues that come with ASD, especially if you're pretty good at masking. From feeling like you're missing the code, to the point that your brain just doesn't find the words to speak because you're just overwhelmed by something.
Yeah, its like I need a manual for how to be a normal person. For me it's like I'm watching myself act out normal social cues (masking) and inside I'm panicking because I actually have no idea what I'm doing. I end up absorbing absolutely nothing from a lot of conversations because I'm so focused on seeming normal.
@Elly try to spend your energy on listening and being kind instead. You can try to time your hums and eye contact, but if the content isn't actually landing people will find out later and that'll only cause problems later on.
I tend to look away when someone is talking, allowing me to focus more, using the short silences they drop for 1-2 word summaries/reflections of what they just said. When they're done, before continuing with my own response I give a 1-2 sentence summary, which allows them to correct any mistakes they noticed. I'll look at their forehead, chin or hands when giving that response, so they feel I'm looking for contact.
Also, we tend to miss a lot of non-verbal queues, so be sure to ask if you have a suspicion, but you're not sure. Just be prepared to get an exaggerated response when you do that. So if they're angry, they'll be more angry. If they're excited, they'll really start bouncing, etc. And the reason they do that is because it makes them feel more secure in expressing their emotions, even if you guessed wrong, because it shows that at least you're trying.
And honestly, if you're trying to be a good listener and to be kind in general, and people just aren't appreciative of that. At some point your energy is better spent on getting you through your day. It's not worth ending the day with a massive meltdown at home, or worse, suffer a year long burn out because you're trying to live up to other people's expectations.
I'm not certain what labels would go onto my mental health issues (can't afford therapy and I'm wary of self diagnosis) but yeap. This song is a constant mood
How do you craft vague feelings into beautiful lyrics so well? I swear you give a voice to the messy emotions I can't verbalize. There are so many times I listen to your music and just go "Yeah! That! That's the thing I'm experiencing!"
Getting some serious Joni Mitchell vibes from this!😍 Seems Youtube's AI drops a gold nugget once in a while.🤩 Great job young lady.. would love to hear more.😉🎵🎶🎵👍👍
I found you for a strange reason and now I'm in love with your music. It stop the time that seems go so fast, with all this thing to do with all this stress, you eliminate it. Thanks. Ps sorry for my bad English.
ive been watching your channel(s) for like 5 years now and its so wild to see how far you've come as a songwriter!! i always thought your music was amazing but these new songs are especially wonderful. its so inspiring!! can't wait to see where you'll be in another 5 years. sending so so much love.
I just started college and it’s been weird and difficult trying to meet new people especially when my roommates do it so effortlessly so this song really resonated wow
when you said i don’t quite belong the first time, i was sad. when you said it the second time, i was mad. dodie you do belong. everywhere. i swear you could fit in beautifully in every situation. i also like the splotchy wall 😂
I think it's so funny I just realized I was so hypnotized by your amazingness that I forgot to hit like!!! I came back to jam to your beautiful magic again and I was like wha!?!??!?!?!??! How have I not seen this!?! Oh wait I did...😅💜⚘⚘⚘
Why did this sound like Eleanor Rigby to me? Because it's also a masterpiece. Also, made my day. Thank you, Dodie. ❤️ Edit: your voice is so cute Edit 2: the porg plushie at the end is also cute
listening to the song i thought "oh she knows how i feel!!" then the description was "waking up in the wrong dimension". . . . . . . well what can i say
the eleanor rigby vibes from the beatles.... i am so in love with this. For the love of God put it on spotify, I will put it on any playlist i have for ever
Hi! I love love love your music! I keep listening to a song called Clinging On for Life by the Hoosiers and I think that you could do an absolutely awesome cover of it. Don’t worry if you don’t like it but I think it would be really cool and the song would suit you really well
I agree with this song more than anyone could ever know, it’s how I’ve felt my whole life nearly at all times, even in my family, but at least I have dodie to make me feel less alone.
i just went on an actual date for the first time in years, my anxiety was spiking but he was having fun so i didn't want to make him leave early and these were my exact feelings
Geez Dodie. You’re seriously incredible. You’re my biggest inspiration when it comes to my own music. I’m actually going into a recording studio 3 October and I’m so excited. Your music has helped me get through so much. This song is AMAZING. All of your songs are amazing oml. And yes I like the lighter paint too haha
This is also relatable as someone who does not do drugs but occasionally goes to a party. Or has social anxiety and always feels different and so fully aware of my presence that I can never be myself :)
This came out on my first day of working at Starbucks, and honestly its a mood about how I feel towards customers 😎 Thank you for giving something to look forward to listening to after I got off work!
PS. The light beige/olive would go nicely with your flat
I've been feeling like I have imposter syndrome, but just with like-- life. Like I'm faking every interaction and everyone is gonna one day realize I don't actually mean what I say or care about anyone because I don't know how.
I feel this song so much. I spent my childhood moving around a lot and then after I finished High School I moved to a new country (that I have familial background in) and have spent the past 5 years of my adult life maturing and figuring myself out in a different cultural space. I'm at a crossroads now as to what direction my life is going to head and feel I really don't belong in either country, identity crisis during COVID wooo. This song was absolutely beautiful to me. I can't wait to hear what is next.
doedles you got almost 2m subscribers stop reading lyrics off the floor i know you're excited to show us but it's not just throwing songs up anymore for you, you've made it :3 :D
dodie’s recent music reminds me so much of the structure of musical theatre ??? like there’s so much situational writing that’s delivered with such beautiful emotional undertones (which isn’t uncommon in her writing) but the vocal range that she uses also really adds to it,, idk maybe this is my hint for her to write a musical :)
Hey, I know you probably wont see this but if you do I'd like to say, you are one of the best people I have ever 'met' you always seem so kind when I see you in vids, and listening to your music has helped me to find my style, and has also inspired me to write my own songs. Thank You so much for being you and posting all of these incredible videos!❤❤❤
I like this a lot more than the others tbh. A lot of the songs about longing and breakups without sounding offensive honestly all kinda blend into one. This one is a lot more interesting. Definitely interested in a more mature sounding Dodie. Like her old stuff but it’s really enjoyed by a very young audience, one who can’t differentiate criticism of her music from criticism of her, which I don’t think is very healthy. Like this change, I don’t like the 3rd and 5th ‘hmmm’ harmonies personally just because they seem to be used very liberally and it takes the edge out of songs. Particularly the studio version of Boys Like You and All My Daughters. Good stuff. Keep it up - don’t fall into old habits girl.
i was trying to think of what this song reminded me of.. I was going crazy because it was on the tip of my tongue! Thank god the comments are here and people had the same thought as me. Reminds me of Eleanor Rigby!
Dodiee, you are fantastic. :) A quick technical question for you if you would be kind enough to answer. Do you record the vocals in your videos live at that moment or is the vocal bit pre recorded? Your videos sound very spontaneous and it seems as though you record there and then. If so, how do you record them live?
there’s something extra special about the chorus of voices of this. not only is it musically beautiful, but it’s another testament that more people feel the way that we feel. hearing so many voices admit that they don’t belong. do any of us belong?
Idk why, but this song kind of reminds me of something the Bestles might sing. I think it's the quick rhymes and fast paced rmusic. It reminds me of "All the Lonely People" by the Beatles in that way. Another great song Dodie ! 🤩
Andie Pascua ok so first watch a Bunch of youtube videos, try the tongue exercises and see if they work for you, and then practice like at least three words with the rolling r Every Damn Day. And then if you’re me and you’ve paused on the learning italian part but wanna keep the rolling r if you ever get back to it, add a rolling r to literally every word that has an r in it i.e. “corrrrect” people’s names, etc.
Great song. I can relate. If you haven't chosen a new color for the walls, I'd go with the lighter color. It seems like room may already be dark. The darker shade will just enhance the dark. Unless that's what you're looking for.
when she sings "i don't quite belong" it gives me the same vibes as when george michael sings "sometimes the clothes do not make the man
" in freedom! '90
This is giving me slight Eleanor Rigby vibes, which isn't a bad thing at all!! The pace and lack of hope or certainty is so haunting. Love it Dodie! :)))
I start school in the morning. I’m so unbelievably terrified that my friends will act completely different in a bad way, I’ll be ignored and I won’t know why. I don’t really know what will happen but I’m so scared if it. I’m scared I won’t quite belong where I once did. And that thought is the scariest thought I’ve ever thought. That everything will go horribly wrong and I won’t know what to do.
i've been an extrovert my whole life, enjoyed debate and public speaking, and usually had confidence. but recently, it feels like everything is upside down. cried listening to this and cant tell if it's because i relate or the fact that i CAN relate. good thing my temporary theme song is a bop lmao
This song made me cry but in a good way . I often get anxiety and imposter syndrome. I also dyspraxia and often feel I missing something or a big secret other where told as kids as to how to be . Such amazing song ❤️
NAH DODIE if you’re about to drop new music I will literally just crumble into a pile of excitable dust I’m incredibly emotionally wobbly rn and I can’t deal
i know that it’s definitely not what this song is about but quite a few of these lines explain how i feel about figuring out my gender identity very well
I love your music and I wonder if you have cds ? Your voice is easy on the ears . Haaaha I said to myself, she is painting walls and is trying to decide the color.
Slightly reminds me of the Eleanor Rigby Beatles melody for the like "picks up the rice in the church where a wedding has been" kinda thing… 😊✨✨ This is cool!
My best friend used to be at my school but then she moved. Since then I’ve still come over a lot but she’s found a new group of friends and I don’t really understand what they talk about anymore.. this song kinda helped me feel a little less sad about it :)
Dodie! Do you register all your songs or do you just let them be in YouTube only? I'm kinda scared to upload any original song and not register it at my country's place-to-register-songs
This is unbelievably relevant and although many are talking about autism and the spectrum, I think a TON of people are operating out of this mindset even without any potential diagnosis. I hope everyone who feels this way realizes that they are actually in the majority, which hopefully makes it a little less lonely. =]
The bass line in this is perfect: restrained yet present (though only with high-end headphones; it's completely absent with earbuds of any grade). It's beautiful; adds a lot of depth. I'm wondering is this dodie on the bass, or did she bring in a bass player? Is this her on a baritone Uke? (I don't know if it goes that low). I can imagine her learning yet another new instrument, but the delivery is so deft. Or was it done with keyboard & DAW? If she see this perhaps she'll tell us. Anyone better at figuring this out than me?
Can we talk about the ending tho? Idk why, but it suits perfect to the song. To the whole vibe, I don't belong here, I nees to figure it out. And the... Guitar? Ukulele? Mix? Thing? ends weird, I can't explain. The last shrub missed, it ended unexplained. Ugh I'm so bad in english
And here I thought it was just a song about derealization/moving to a different country… was definitely just projecting my own experiences onto this song 👀 but then I read the description 😅
This song feels like it's about waking up after you fell asleep when you shouldn't have and you have no idea what's going on but your family is going out and you have no idea where but you don't wanna ask cuz it means admitting you fell asleep.
i just started college a few weeks ago and I really feel this right now. at first I was doing fine just trying to understand where the dining hall is and go to my zoom classes, but recently I haven't been doing so well. I'm in my room all day and I don't have any friends here to talk to. it's especially difficult since I can't even really go out to meet anyone cause of covid. I'm hoping things will get better but I really don't feel like I belong right now, so thank you for this song at the perfect time
I found your book before I discovered your music. I wandered past the library and there was a butterfly hitting the window, frantically trying to get out. I couldn't go in as the library wasn't open as it was closed for lunchtime due to COVID restrictions. But I went back later to free the butterfly. The librarian said it was already freed, but I decided to scour for books anyway. And after being sent down a one way system in the library, I found your book. The title of the book made me bring it home with me . Your music is as raw and real as your book :)
As someone being the only person in the country and state I live has the only syndrome + disabilities I find this song beautiful thank you for taking the time to right this song to help all
Love the song. Gotta say though the natural rhyme would have been "queer" rather than "weird". Don't let current cultural modes get in the way of a good lyric than could live forever.
someday i wish to be able to put out music like you and not be as worried about a time structure and stuff idk i just wanna say you mean a lot to me thanks for inspiring me everyday <3 :,)
I actually prefer the darker gray, but you're definitely right in choosing a lighter one for painting a room, because too many walls too dark are quite bad for the mood.
Thank you for this song, makes one feel less alone when you always suddenly whip out these songs that describe exactly how I feel a lot of the time.
As the kind of guy that's a bit more ready to talk to folks than most, I still feel as if this song can still fit my perspective. Perhaps it isn't about whether or not the participants are engrossed, but rather we all somewhat feel that we're not worthy of being interactive.
Said another way, we weirded out by how weird weirdness can be, even if it's a wholly unique experience between you and me.
Bruh im literally sobbing because i feel like i dont belong in any group or anywhere at all. And i keep talking and trying to integrate myself in the conversation when its just annoying and i should just shut up you know. Or just walk away from all people because they just make me feel unwanted and inferior
I really like the tempo in this song, it's quite bit faster than most of your others. It really creates a scene where I can imagine all these busy body types going so much faster than you are, and you're stuck there trying to keep up, but nothing is processing and the imitation of their actions just feels dishonest. Well, that's what I imagine at least. You're very good at creating songs that can resonate with many different people going through different situations.
i used to really liked dodie but then i stopped listening because things felt slightly monotonous sometimes. but this is really really good and it feels different from her other stuff. like it’s still dodie but it feels even more layered and even cooler. this is great
Dodie I have the same Porg soft toy lol. Also I think you should go for lighter brown paint, don’t want the room too dark - or some light walls and one dark brown accent wall but eh... light brown looks nice ;)
Just hot into university where I know nobody but everyone seems to have already made friends and I just don't feel like i fit in with my interests and personality And I feel this song so so so much right now
August is over, but PLEASE dodie: don't stop writing songs for the COVID shutdown! .. I know she's missing touring & playing with her band, & both she & they must be hurting financially due to the COVID shutdown. And as someone who gets emotional support from a large & close circle of friends, and from touring & meeting fans, this must be difficult.
But constraints can make for great art, and this has to be one of dodie's most productive years ever for song writing. The quality of her songwriting is amazing. And if anything, improving. She once despaired she'd never again write anything as good as Boys Like You, but this year's songs are just as good. Different: lacking the band (for now), quieter & more reliant if anything on harmony & tonal depth & complexity. Every bit as good - perhaps better.
Joni Mitchell & Leonard Cohen wrote terrific poetry & presented it with lovely songs; James Taylor, Simon & Garfunkle, Lennon & McCartney wrote terrific songs that said something intelligent & were often quite moving. A lot of their work is inspired - Eleanor Rigby, She's Leaving Home: much more than just pop music. But no-one writes intelligent poetry that is so emotionally moving as dodie. And wraps it in evocative melodies with harmonies that are as layered, textured & moving as her lyrics.
dodie is much more than an inspired songwriter musician: she makes audio art.
me, trying to haul my own consciousness back into my body while derealizing and simultaneously trying to pay attention to what my friends are saying because we're trying to play dnd and my turn is coming up but i forgot to bounce my foot and now i can't concentrate for long enough to form one (1) thought
as an autistic female i feel this biiiigg tiiimmmeee. look up neurodiversity in females, it's really interesting, so many of us feel the way your song describes 🖤✨
i initially read the full title of the video as the title of the song, like "I Don't Belong, Original Song" as the song title. Which. like. Works. It rhymes. It's a song from the perspective of a song. That doesn't belong. The sad song that is sad because it gets left off the album. Shit, now songs have feelings and it's a pixar movie
i’ve been wondering for a while, what kind of guitar is that? it looks short like a ukulele but it definitely has six strings—i kind of want one but idk what it’s called :/
I know this song is about autism, but i have ADHD and i highly relate to this song. It's a beautiful thing to find yourself in a place you don't belong, only to see that you have a lot in common with the ones that do belong.
I have this problem I try to be consistently happy. And I try not to fluctuate in emotions too much. But that causes me to get VERY VERY down on myself when I have bad days I need to learn how to let myself feel stuff and move THROUGH the changes instead of be uncomfortable in them.
Crying bc of the comments. They thought I had autism when I was a kid, but my diagnosis wasn't.. well.. autism. Now they wanted to test again but anxiety overwhelmed me even when I thought about seeing myself different. So.. I didn't find out.
i’m getting joni mitchell vibes and im here for it!!!!!

hi! so today i found this in my usually cursed recommended section, and i new from the first start that i would be blessed (and i was). so now that everyone here is saying stuff about mental health, i would like to mention something (nothing accusing anyone, just saying things). i have recently found out the i am an HSP. this stands for Highly Sensitive Person. someone who is an HSP is someone that is sensitive both emotionally and physically. for example, emotionally, they can be seen as easy empaths because they usually feel things on a much deeper level than your average person. so, if someone makes a dark joke or something, an HSP would take it seriously and personally, but not in a bad way they are extremely caring people. when i say they are sensitive physically, i mean their five senses. for example, they are very observant and may see things differently than others (sight), they could be picky eaters (taste), they could be very tactile (touch), they may be very musically inclined (hearing), and maybe certain smells make them feel a different way (smell; for me, I don’t like the smell of vanilla because it makes my stomach hurt). before i learned i was HSP, i always felt really different from everyone else because i hated balloons popping, loved art, could learn lyrics to a song easily, literally only ate pb&j sandwiches for lunch, and slept with a blanket for the first half of my life because it felt nice. so, (ik this was long sorry :/) if you think you are HSP and always thought you were different or weird, now you know some more about yourself! spread the word!
Doddie: Is the homage to "Elinore Rigby" melody intentional to make this a song within a song? Contrasting that with the inclusion of the melody to Pharill's "Happy" Even though the song it quite clear in its message, I think you're leaning into something deeper...perhaps?
Woe,Dodie.....!!!!! I'll buyyyy this songggg!!!! Yesssssss! This is ""Top 5 Dodie""!!!!! Awesome!!!! ':))))))) ....... Yes yesssssss! (Ok, I'm slightly excited!) Ha. " You DO BELONGGGGGGG"! ':D
Why does this give me Eleanor Rigby vibes? Both Pauls line," wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave, no one was saved" and Dodies; "Taking my time in the back of a room, dont assume I was as cold as I seem" both have the same pattern of moving downwards with these verses, they just feel the same rhythmically to a degree
I have never been able to fit in or find a group I belong too. I don’t know what to do in situations so I sit awkwardly and watch everyone. People usually just take me under their wing but I still have no clue what I am doing and I can’t make friends because I am too awkward and interacting with me is weird. I’m really trying and I hope one day people will get me. For now this song gets me.

God you perfectly captured the feel of being ADHD/Neurodivergent and not really knowing how to socialize or talk to people and you are constantly trying your best even though all you are doing is faking it and working with like half of what everyone else has
You be you - yes it's true - can't you see we love you - who you are ... rhyme your rhymes - speak your mind - can't you see that you shine - like a star ... no more doubt - cut it out - look within not without - you're 'weird' ... But you see - so are we - and we'll all never leave - we are here ... And We Thank You
omygoodness I was literally just thinking this and was going to comment about it until I scrolled down and saw I'd already said it. 😂😂 I think the verse sounds very similar to Eleanor Rigby and it has a similar message!
Yes!!! When you wake not feeling like a person and people are trying to talk to you but it just feel like fuzz in your ears and look down at your hands and they’re not yours, you’re someone else, something other than human, hovering above your body and nothing feels real and you don’t know how you feel you feel nothing at all but something terrible.
dodie pls tell us what “soon” means because at this point time no longer has any meaning whatsoever (like what?? it’s september?? march was yesterday and july was a week ago soooo)
I think it's a Guitalele: size of a ukulele but with 6 strings instead of 4. It sounds much like a guitar with a capo on the 5th fret & tuned the same, so you use the same chords - but it is smaller, so sounds more like a uke than a guitar. Uses nylon strings & tuning starts on A rather than E (as the guitar would be on the 5th fret), so it sounds quite different from a similar-sized travel guitar that would usually have steel strings & start with E on the bottom string. She makes a uke sound different than I ever expected one to sound, and it complements her voice & her songs perfectly ('though I confess when I hear her singing to a keyboard or guitar I think the same). Dodie sometimes uses drop D tuning on it, & on the guitar too. I haven't tried the chords out (tomorrow!) but suspect she's done that or an alternative tuning on this song. She's commented in a much earlier vid that she started on the Ukulele because she has small hands & found it easier, though she now plays several ukes (soprano, tenor, baritone), the guitar, clarinet (beautifully), keyboards, has even messed with a cello - and of course plays both digital audio workshop (DAW) software on her laptop, and her voice (harmonies from heaven!) as instruments too. OMG: such an incredibly talented musician!
@James Thompson thank you so much for the detail of this reply! For the past couple weeks I've been looking for my second ukulele and realized what a music newbie I was, so I love learning about these other tunings and capabilities. I also really want to learn guitar, this is really quite cool

Don’t quite belong - Dodie (chords for ukulele)
Verse : F Taking my time in the back of a room, Bb Don’t assume I’m as cold as I seem.
F Widen the eyes, show the teeth, holding hands, Bb Like it’s planned - How do they know what they mean ?
F I go up to a friend, grab his arm, Bb « what’s the code, I should know ? Do you struggle like me ? »
F He says « finish your drink, then we’ll bounce, Bb Get it down, hit the town » I still don’t know what he means...
Chorus : F Bb Am I missing something vital here ? Cause I, F Bb Woke up feeling kind of weird
Bb7 Guess I’ll just pretend, play along, Gb ‘Till they figure it out : Ab Bb I don’t quite belong...
Bb7 Fake it till you make it, but I’m getting it wrong, Gb think I figured it out : Ab Bb I don’t quite belong...
Verse 2 : F Suddenly face to a face, man to man, « understand ? » Bb I say yes, but I don’t. F It’s working a charm, here take this, you’ll be wired Bb But I’m tired, I’d rather smoke it alone.
F In goes the drink and the fire and out comes the doubt Bb And the stutter and shame. F I chew over a word, but it’s wrong Bb « no I’m fine, what’s the time ? » I think I’m done with this game
Chorus: F Bb Am I missing something vital here ? Cause I, F Bb Woke up feeling kind of weird
Bb7 Guess I’ll just pretend, play along, Gb ‘Till they figure it out : Ab Bb I don’t quite belong...
Bb7 Fake it till you make it, but I’m getting it wrong, Gb think I figured it out : Ab Bb I don’t quite belong...
(Instrumental : Bb, Gb, Ab, Bb) Oh...
Chorus : F Bb Am I missing something vital here ? Cause I, F Bb Woke up feeling kind of weird
Bb7 Guess I’ll just pretend, play along, Gb ‘Till they figure it out : Ab Bb I don’t quite belong...
Bb7 Fake it till you make it, but I’m getting it wrong, Gb think I figured it out : Ab Bb I don’t quite belong...
————— I tried to find chords that would fit for the ukulele, and for me it works okay ^^ Sorry it’s not a 100% accurate, I’m not an expert in any way. I just wanted to share an easy way to play that song on ukulele ^^
I made a cover of that song (because I already fell in love with it !!!) on my channel, feel free to check it out !
I grew up feeling like I didn't actually belong and would fake acting a certain way so that I could seem cool. And then I had a time where I mentally shut down in senior year, and was more of a husk than a human for like, 5 years. I'm still getting back to figuring out what old self was like. But I'm a lot better now. I can embrace where I don't feel like others because I've surrounded myself with friends that actually care about how I feel.
i can see this song in a dystopic or a coming of age movie! it is incredible how much your songwriting/melodycrafting has evolved over the years; it feels so mature. i can only feel proud to be a fan for 4 years. thank you so much, dodie.
Nobody truly belongs anywhere. After all, we are all individuals living inside our heads. There is a way to connect, though. You just expand the definition of self. You are not limited to just your consciousness. Maybe it’s not even “your” consciousness. We’re all part of the energy and if you think this way, the urge to find your place disappears.
Dodie, you're such a wonderful, kind, beautiful person that can always bring such a unique mood it's so hard to describe. This song really fits into the cracks of my life recently and I'm getting kinda stuck. I know you see comments like this every day but I just want you to know that we are so thankful and blessed to have a presence like you around. <3
Dodie, as ALWAYS, your harmonies, lyrics, and not to forget the tone of your voice mixed with the feeling you have, always is so good. The soul’s music. 👌🏼
I love the jazzy, suspended, sorta-dissonance in the soft background vocals, it really gives me those vibes of feeling a little bit off and feeling lost but on guard simultaneously? I dig how the bass fills out the piece as well. And of course the lyrics are a huge mood! Also, I like the lighter color for the wall as well. Thank you for all you do!
So funky!!!!! so fresh!!! really like this lil tune. i've missed you! haven't kept up on all your activities like i used to (been here since like?? absolutely smitten / her times?) but coming on home now! ALSO i think the lighter colour would be better for the wall!!!!
aaaa i love this so so much!! so soft and cozy ❤️❤️ it reminds me of something but i’m not sure what...not like a “dodie’s copying someone” vibe, just a feeling
1. This might be a new favourite for me, it captures how I feel in social settings 2. Can we talk about the slow fade out of the last lyrics, videography is amazing 3. Lighter paint for sure, it will open the whole room up

dodie, this would be great as a bossa. You write such amazing songs. I could see this in the "Real Book" for future generations...
I feel like your songs are evolving. Each new melody is more interesting than the last. I like them a lot :) and as always, it calms me down to listen to your voice.
I like the lighter shade with your sofa, Dodie! And of course your song was immensely relatable as someone with an othered identity and anxiety <3 thanks for this
Each time a new song is released I think to myself, “How does she manage to always say what so many people are feeling every day, so simply put when most of us can’t find the words to explain how we feel.”
Love. It. Me and my friend just decided you should collab on a song with Loyle Carner! You're angelic voice, and his slow bumpin voice would be a match made in heaven.
I do hope you went with the lighter color, it’s pretty, plus darker colored walls can really make a room feel smaller than it actually is. Also the song wonderful I loved it! 😍
im just about to finish highschool, and ive never found my place. i got in and out of friend groups, tried to fit in, still feel like i dont quite belong anywhere. dodie you are such a wonderful person. with every song i feel even more and more connected to you. keep it up, im so proud of you<3
Funny enough, knowing wonderful people like dodie exist, who resonate with me in many personal ways, really helps me feel less like "I don't quite belong" haha
I don’t think you truly understand how therapeutic your music really is. You help thousands of people with their struggles and you don’t get enough credit for it. Love you so much dodie, please never stop creating
Beautiful music, Dodie! But I still miss your uke so much! lol ("Would You Be So Kind?", "I won't be done", "Sweet Caroline", "One For The Road" ... my faves)
Fucking hell those deeper backing vox coming in at 2:00 made my eyes like O.O You really discovered some awesome vibe here. The direction you're taking...YES. Everything about it is right.
ahhhh the feeling of dissociating and not knowing who you are around other people and getting stuck in your head then losing the ability to talk and feeling guilt and shame because everyone else is fine but ur really not. AH. “Don’t quite belong” EXACTLY
Hmmm were those some little sing songy moments in the outro that are gonna turn into another hidden song???🤔🤔 also I think you should go with the lighter color because it’s easier to conceal with a different color if you end up not liking it compared to covering the darker color with a ton of coats of a lighter color ❤️
I love the dark oneeee but this newish aesthetic is probably killing people who painted their room dodie yellow 2ish years ago lol- purple is my favorite color lol whats yours??>
this came the day after i started questioning my gender. is it a sign?? i don’t quite belong... maybe that’s why they/them pronouns kinda feel awesome to me??? iTS A SIGNNNN
This is so incredible and pretty and personal. Being an autistic bisexual immigrant this is so accurate and descriptive of my thoughts and feelings about interacting with people and life in general. Also you’re not crying I’m crying
edit: i got em lol, here yall go she plays a classical (nylon strings) and it looks like a half size??? my classical nor my acoustic look that small, capo 3 554000, 332000, 111231 slide up 333453, then add ya pinkie to the low E on 6th fret then go back to that 554000
aaaaaaaaaaa I had no idea that when people say stuff just thinking what the veritable fuck are you talking about I didnt know that was a thing I thought it was just a thing but i didnt know it was a thing thing
4:15 I'd thank you for making us late, sincerely the central London YouTube 2012 new year would be mad otherwise, if some mad shit happens, pls invite me, I'll happily direct whatever or help in whatever way
I can see this playing out as a musical in my head. I'm not usually a fan of musicals but this works so well. It would work well with boys like you etc
i feel like this is new for dodie, and i’m completely here for it. it’s so upbeat but sentimental and bittersweet in a way. amazing lyrics and uke as always dods
This is a pretty good representation of the same anxiety I feel, but with a unique touch. Dodie, I appreciate your ability to put these feelings into words. Thanks
Dodie I swear youre just so talented and amazing <3 <3 Whenever you release new songs I always get so so so happy and It always makes my day so much better. The melodies you use are always so calming and beautiful and it just gives off such a comfy and calm vibe!!
Also the light paint is really nice and I say go for it <3
i love this song so much already, hope it will come out officially!! kinda close to showing this to my therapist :) cant wait for whats to come! both colors are great btw, the light one is a great choice!! ❤
They flow so easy and always make so much sense and I love it. Its like she's just speaking in song because its a constant flow and there's just something so special about the way dodie does it, I love it so much.
dodie has been such an inspiration for me, her songs helped me through my depression, It was like having a close friend by my side when there were none. And I finally got the courage to start writing my own songs, even though they probably never be as good as dodie's. Honestly, dodie is just awesome.
This is so beautiful. I think it really captures the emotion well and the guitar radiates an almost anxious energy that I think compliments the subject matter nicely. I saw somebody else say the same thing, but dodie really has a gift for making songwriting seem effortless.
Thank you for this, honestly great timing. I just moved to a new state and I don't know anyone. I'm struggling to fit in with the others at school and I feel quite alone. I really don't belong. 🙃
Beautiful, thank you for writing this. I don't know if you meant it to be about dissociation or not but this is exactly how I feel with my derealisation 24/7, so it's nice to hear my days sung in such a pretty way. And even if this isn't about dissociation, it's a really nice song anyway, great job as always (i would go with the second color by the way, the more beige one, but they're both really pretty!) <3
this song captures that feeling so great of just feeling like a fraud for somehow existing the wrong way because normal people don’t feel and think like this and the whole “how long until they find out it’s a facade and hate me” thing bro your voice is so perfect!!! when will this be on spotify
dodie’s lyrics are so well crafted. they’re so simple but they’re also deep, have many meanings and subtexts and are flexible. she says so much in so few short lines and that makes her songs so relatable and important to the thousands
dodie you do this overtime no joke i got this notify during a therapy session and watched straight after lol i ran and this is exactly what we were talking about in therapy HOW DO YOU DO IT
she said they were the colors she was wearing but the whole time I was thinking they were just her colored. like the hair and skin tone basically matches she could pull a rhett and link body colored wall
Why is listening to dodie making everything seem a little bit more manageable in life? I wish you could post more just chatty videos as well cause we miss just spending time with you! Like if you agree and want more hang out videos.
Thank you for always bringing light to my day even during such a difficult time. How a feeling can be so effortlessly tramslated into sound will never fail to amaze me. Thank you for hope, smiles and nostalgia xxx
I feel this song so much that I cried listening to it. I just started my third year of college and I feel so alone right now and like I can’t make friends with people my age because of my social anxiety. Thank you for always making me feel seen and not alone with your music. 💙

thank you for this, dodie. great vibes to start my morning. everyone, i hope you've been taking care, staying safe and please remember to keep hydrated. i love you.
this legit feels like taking a breath of fresh air on a balcony at a party with a chewing gum mouth, all minty and cold. away from the madness lmfao ,, thank u for another sweet tune :,)
Thank you so much! I can't wait to see what you've got coming! Your music has had, truly, a profound affect on me and words will never express how grateful I am to have found you. I really can't thank you enough . 🙏🙏🙏
I like coming to your videos when you only uploaded them seconds ago. I know that now one else has fully seen this song and it feels calmer like the song was made for a specific person in this chat. Like it is just for you. How is your guys days gone so far?
Your songs are always a delight to listen to! Thank you for sharing your amazing musical talent with us. (P.S. Personally, I think that the lighter brown color was nice. Like, it'll match with the cupboards and then although the sofa will be the only turquoise colored furniture, it'll sorta pop out and be attractive.)
are you kidding me this is amazing and such a mood and the humming background with a little something more is amazing and i just had a poem idea like this before i went to bed last night bro this is awesome
this is very very pretty thank u dear for putting it in words :) also i really like the light color too! i think the dark one and the dark turquoise-y sofa would seem too gloomy. hope that helped! <3
All these songs have a particular shared aesthetic. Idk they're distinctly "smokier" than earlier songs. Something about the darker feel just fits. Absolutely excellent ❤️❤️
I connect with the description of this video on a personal level. And by that I mean I imagine stuff that's weird when I'm bored. P.S. This isn't an insult. Sorry if it came off that way
i have a group of eight friends from college and i know they're my good friends, but sometimes they're just talking and i just think about how i don't quite belong...
why does this describe how i feel in social situations, i feel like an alien playing imposter, cautious that somebody will “out” me. does that make sense?
dodie: so this is a song about waking up in a parallel universe

0 likesI’m not exactly a “neurotypical” person. I fall into the category of neurodiverse, because of my ADHD and OCD.
3 likesI am amazed at the unique perspectives, intellect, and resilience of people with Aspergers. There is so much that neurotypicals and people like myself can learn from you.
While I can’t imagine what it’s like to cope with the things you do, I know how it is to feel isolated, or when people just don’t seem to “get” you and how your brain works. My ADHD is severe, and - especially before I was medicated- it shows in almost every area of my life. I have felt inadequate and guilty for not being able to keep time commitments, maintain concentration, remember things, start new friendships/relationships, not irritate people or cause them impatience, etc. My ADHD is the main reason I struggle with anxiety, too.
There are so many societal standards we are expected to meet. Some feel extra restrictive, or are simply confusing/ illogical. I TOTally feel this. It is unfortunately common for people to assume that their way of experiencing the world is the same as others’. To quote @Isabela Hart, "it is strange having a differently wired brain hey?" ;)

I don't realize sometimes that I really struggle with social cues, obviously I realize it while it's happening but I tend to just blame myself and say I'm screwing up. This song helped me realize that it's my ADHD, my anxiety and my depression that cause this to happen, and I shouldn't beat myself or blame myself for struggling to relate to people and make new friends. It's not my fault, I'm not alone... and maybe it can get better. Love you all and thank you for sharing your stories! Dodie, same to you - thank you for sharing your experience through this song.

4 likesYou got this amazing magic with dynamics, lyrical rhythm, and that unique mix of casual language so it almost makes the especially poetic hit even harder while uplifting every bit of conversational language. Plus, your voice is so hypnotic and captivating. You write these songs that get stuck in my head from the first listen, but they always kinda feel like they were in there already because of how relatable and catchy they are. You're more than a little genius. Thanks for sharing your awesomeness.

2 likesI have struggled with being social since I was little. I don't have any diagnosis to explain why I act how I do, but it's taken me this long to understand I don't need one. I can be socially awkward because that's just who I am, and that's okay.
This tone of this song gives off the same attitude of "Yep, I've got no clue how any of this works, but I'm dealing with it, even if I get down and insecure about it too."
It's just a hopeful little song of solidarity, and it makes me feel very happy. Powerful song Dodie, very powerful.
I love everything about this. The Bb minor chord, the way all the background voices slip in and out so the first really obvious entrance enhances the high point of the song, just all the little details in both the songwriting and the arrangement.

1 likeShe's obviously a witch with mind reading powers
This song is wonderful and I love the aesthetic. It's like a vision of the old days, just in a new light. You used to sit in front of a wall and playing your music, back when you were just a person with ambition. Love this.
1 likeThis is wonderful! I love the direction your songwriting is going lately!
1 likethis song puts experiences i’ve never been able to explain into words so perfectly
1 likeI remember when i was younger listening to Dodie and being so happy. I would listen too her songs with my dad all the time. Although he was more of a rock kinda person he would listen to it with me cause he knew it made me happy. We didn't normally see eye to eye but when it came to her songs, he'd always be there next to me. I'd be in the garage singing to her songs and my dad would come out and dance with me, and for that short time I felt everything was calm and happy. At his funeral 4 years ago I chose one of her songs to play. No one else understood it but for a moment I wasn't scared.
329 likesTwo years ago I was told I have a variation of Dissociation disorders. Since i'm only 17 they said they can't give me a solid diagnosis, because they don't want to make a false claim. It took me a long time to understand I wasn't the only one who felt this way. I felt like I was a freak, like I wasn't going to be worth anything or do anything good with my life. But knowing that someone amazing like you was able to face it made me feel like I had a chance.
Sorry about the rant I just want to say..
*Thank you Dodie for EVerything you do for us. Thank you for giving us hope. Thank you for being you, because even on your darkest days you're still a ray of sunshine. *

3 likesWhen I was younger, I constantly yearned to meet a group of people I'd effortlessly blend into. I was always jealous of people who recounted their times with a giant group of friends. I wished I could have something like that. But I always felt as though something was off about me, internally.
575 likesAnyway, now I'm older. I understand that while I'll never have a large group of friends, I have a few friends I really can call family. I still feel as though there's something that isn't quite right about me, like I'm a little smudged or not completely all there. So I listen to this with a smile, sympathy and empathy for those going through this - and the wonder if I'll ever find out what this feeling I have is. How does Dodie manage to get into brain all the time?!

0 likesKeep up the wonderful work you wonderful bean <3
Wow. This is one of my favorite of yours. Amazing!!
0 likesthis song describes something in me that i’ve never been able to put my finger on. it’s like the feeling that you have so many acquaintances, but nobody knows you well enough to actually be your close friend, and you only call them a friend to seem kind so it’s not awkward. it’s the feeling like you don’t completely fit in anywhere and it’s almost like you’re your own little genre of person but instead of feeling unique, you just feel confusing and lost.

2 likesYeah, its like I need a manual for how to be a normal person. For me it's like I'm watching myself act out normal social cues (masking) and inside I'm panicking because I actually have no idea what I'm doing. I end up absorbing absolutely nothing from a lot of conversations because I'm so focused on seeming normal.
5 likes@Elly try to spend your energy on listening and being kind instead. You can try to time your hums and eye contact, but if the content isn't actually landing people will find out later and that'll only cause problems later on.
0 likesI tend to look away when someone is talking, allowing me to focus more, using the short silences they drop for 1-2 word summaries/reflections of what they just said. When they're done, before continuing with my own response I give a 1-2 sentence summary, which allows them to correct any mistakes they noticed. I'll look at their forehead, chin or hands when giving that response, so they feel I'm looking for contact.
Also, we tend to miss a lot of non-verbal queues, so be sure to ask if you have a suspicion, but you're not sure. Just be prepared to get an exaggerated response when you do that. So if they're angry, they'll be more angry. If they're excited, they'll really start bouncing, etc. And the reason they do that is because it makes them feel more secure in expressing their emotions, even if you guessed wrong, because it shows that at least you're trying.
And honestly, if you're trying to be a good listener and to be kind in general, and people just aren't appreciative of that. At some point your energy is better spent on getting you through your day. It's not worth ending the day with a massive meltdown at home, or worse, suffer a year long burn out because you're trying to live up to other people's expectations.

1 likeI feel this song so much. I spent my childhood moving around a lot and then after I finished High School I moved to a new country (that I have familial background in) and have spent the past 5 years of my adult life maturing and figuring myself out in a different cultural space. I'm at a crossroads now as to what direction my life is going to head and feel I really don't belong in either country, identity crisis during COVID wooo. This song was absolutely beautiful to me. I can't wait to hear what is next.

Possibly my favorite song wow
0 likesI like this a lot more than the others tbh. A lot of the songs about longing and breakups without sounding offensive honestly all kinda blend into one. This one is a lot more interesting. Definitely interested in a more mature sounding Dodie. Like her old stuff but it’s really enjoyed by a very young audience, one who can’t differentiate criticism of her music from criticism of her, which I don’t think is very healthy. Like this change, I don’t like the 3rd and 5th ‘hmmm’ harmonies personally just because they seem to be used very liberally and it takes the edge out of songs. Particularly the studio version of Boys Like You and All My Daughters. Good stuff. Keep it up - don’t fall into old habits girl.

1 likeThe bass line in this is perfect: restrained yet present (though only with high-end headphones; it's completely absent with earbuds of any grade). It's beautiful; adds a lot of depth. I'm wondering is this dodie on the bass, or did she bring in a bass player? Is this her on a baritone Uke? (I don't know if it goes that low). I can imagine her learning yet another new instrument, but the delivery is so deft. Or was it done with keyboard & DAW?

I couldn't go in as the library wasn't open as it was closed for lunchtime due to COVID restrictions. But I went back later to free the butterfly. The librarian said it was already freed, but I decided to scour for books anyway. And after being sent down a one way system in the library, I found your book.

It really creates a scene where I can imagine all these busy body types going so much faster than you are, and you're stuck there trying to keep up, but nothing is processing and the imitation of their actions just feels dishonest. Well, that's what I imagine at least. You're very good at creating songs that can resonate with many different people going through different situations.

1 likeAugust is over, but PLEASE dodie: don't stop writing songs for the COVID shutdown!
2 likes..
I know she's missing touring & playing with her band, & both she & they must be hurting financially due to the COVID shutdown. And as someone who gets emotional support from a large & close circle of friends, and from touring & meeting fans, this must be difficult.
But constraints can make for great art, and this has to be one of dodie's most productive years ever for song writing. The quality of her songwriting is amazing. And if anything, improving. She once despaired she'd never again write anything as good as Boys Like You, but this year's songs are just as good. Different: lacking the band (for now), quieter & more reliant if anything on harmony & tonal depth & complexity. Every bit as good - perhaps better.
Joni Mitchell & Leonard Cohen wrote terrific poetry & presented it with lovely songs; James Taylor, Simon & Garfunkle, Lennon & McCartney wrote terrific songs that said something intelligent & were often quite moving. A lot of their work is inspired - Eleanor Rigby, She's Leaving Home: much more than just pop music. But no-one writes intelligent poetry that is so emotionally moving as dodie. And wraps it in evocative melodies with harmonies that are as layered, textured & moving as her lyrics.
dodie is much more than an inspired songwriter musician: she makes audio art.

0 likeshi! so today i found this in my usually cursed recommended section, and i new from the first start that i would be blessed (and i was). so now that everyone here is saying stuff about mental health, i would like to mention something (nothing accusing anyone, just saying things). i have recently found out the i am an HSP. this stands for Highly Sensitive Person. someone who is an HSP is someone that is sensitive both emotionally and physically. for example, emotionally, they can be seen as easy empaths because they usually feel things on a much deeper level than your average person. so, if someone makes a dark joke or something, an HSP would take it seriously and personally, but not in a bad way they are extremely caring people. when i say they are sensitive physically, i mean their five senses. for example, they are very observant and may see things differently than others (sight), they could be picky eaters (taste), they could be very tactile (touch), they may be very musically inclined (hearing), and maybe certain smells make them feel a different way (smell; for me, I don’t like the smell of vanilla because it makes my stomach hurt). before i learned i was HSP, i always felt really different from everyone else because i hated balloons popping, loved art, could learn lyrics to a song easily, literally only ate pb&j sandwiches for lunch, and slept with a blanket for the first half of my life because it felt nice. so, (ik this was long sorry :/) if you think you are HSP and always thought you were different or weird, now you know some more about yourself! spread the word!
0 likesDoddie: Is the homage to "Elinore Rigby" melody intentional to make this a song within a song? Contrasting that with the inclusion of the melody to Pharill's "Happy" Even though the song it quite clear in its message, I think you're leaning into something deeper...perhaps?

0 likesI see it has six strings but it's so small(?) What kind of guitar is this?
0 likesReplies (2)
I think it's a Guitalele: size of a ukulele but with 6 strings instead of 4. It sounds much like a guitar with a capo on the 5th fret & tuned the same, so you use the same chords - but it is smaller, so sounds more like a uke than a guitar. Uses nylon strings & tuning starts on A rather than E (as the guitar would be on the 5th fret), so it sounds quite different from a similar-sized travel guitar that would usually have steel strings & start with E on the bottom string. She makes a uke sound different than I ever expected one to sound, and it complements her voice & her songs perfectly ('though I confess when I hear her singing to a keyboard or guitar I think the same).
0 likesDodie sometimes uses drop D tuning on it, & on the guitar too. I haven't tried the chords out (tomorrow!) but suspect she's done that or an alternative tuning on this song.
She's commented in a much earlier vid that she started on the Ukulele because she has small hands & found it easier, though she now plays several ukes (soprano, tenor, baritone), the guitar, clarinet (beautifully), keyboards, has even messed with a cello - and of course plays both digital audio workshop (DAW) software on her laptop, and her voice (harmonies from heaven!) as instruments too. OMG: such an incredibly talented musician!
@James Thompson thank you so much for the detail of this reply! For the past couple weeks I've been looking for my second ukulele and realized what a music newbie I was, so I love learning about these other tunings and capabilities. I also really want to learn guitar, this is really quite cool

2 likesNobody truly belongs anywhere. After all, we are all individuals living inside our heads. There is a way to connect, though. You just expand the definition of self. You are not limited to just your consciousness. Maybe it’s not even “your” consciousness. We’re all part of the energy and if you think this way, the urge to find your place disappears.

1 likeI love the jazzy, suspended, sorta-dissonance in the soft background vocals, it really gives me those vibes of feeling a little bit off and feeling lost but on guard simultaneously?
