dodie’s songs were meant for string music honestly they go together so beautifully

@Rose Rico Rico yessss. That sounds so pretty!

Absolutely agree. The both have such a purity of emotion.

If Dodie was an instrument she would be a grey violin with yellow flowers


this feels like something in a documentary.

I would absolutely pay to watch a Dodie documentary

If dodie had a documentary, it would be really creative and with a bunch of Easter eggs

@Gabrielle Wright a dodie documentary would be so neat

Yeah, it's clearly a promotional featurette to build up hype for the delayed album


you can see the little dodie sparkling in her eyes when she smiles it's like a child in a candy shop 😭 little dodes would be so proud


I'm so proud of how far she has become, and how beautiful her music is.


Its rainbow, and immediately hearing those notes I started CRYING


I feel like Dodie is going to be that artist we all tell our kids about.


Gosh darn why is Dodie so dang cool, gorgeous, talented and magical? Her smile, loose hair, adorable outfit, cute little watch and ear-pleasing accent, producing such wondrous compositions and sounds. The world could use more Dodies. If you feel like a Dodie who is hiding yourself, take some inspiration from this and let yourself freeeeeeeee. If nobody else loves you for it, I will. <3


I'm so happy and grateful that this exists


Dodie excited is one of the most wholesomely endearing things to see in the world.


God I love how she’s grown into her musical style... this is so full and lush and fully her. Of course if she wants to experiment later on that’ll all be fully her as well, but... she’s landed on something beautifully true to herself, at least to my ears


I'm so happy to have seen dodie get to this point, her music goes so beautifully with strings and I couldn't even imagine a better production style


THE SMILE IN THE THUMBNAIL MELTED MY HEART. That’s how we all look and feel listening to her music. That pride and comfort in it 🤍🤍


I can’t wait for the album. I’m sad it will be a little longer to wait but at least there’s something to look forward to heh heh


this album is the only thing getting me through classes right now


Now you don't have to sing all your harmonies by yourself anymore, you got strings! It's like dodie 2.0 :D


I would so anything to perform with you and a 13 string piece orchestra.


My friend:how many dodie songs do you like?<br>Me: y e s.

My friend:how many dodie songs do you like?
Me: y e s.

@dead respect your opinion but um why are you here If you don't like her songs? Just asking out of curiosity.

@Dodie Hater 3 ok but if u dont like her stuff then why r u watching it :/

@Dodie Hater 3 lol you have exceeded Fan Energy, better change your name to Air Conditioner rq babe lololol

@Dodie Hater 3 if you’re name is dodie hater and you’ve spent so much time obsessing over this girl, you must be a big fan, woot woot!

@Dodie Hater 3it’s sad that you thought this was worthy to comment lol 🤣

literally she’s never written a bad song, it’s so lovely to think abt😭


i really love these documentary style videos because it shows how much dodie has grown. her music and aesthetic has branched out so much and whilst she isn't just a teenage girl in her bedroom with a ukulele and a camera, she still has that same passion and happiness towards music. even while her sound might change, when you listen to her songs you can still hear her.


the strings are genuinely my favorite part of your music


I love this so much, as a musician this my dream and I’m glad she’s living hers 💜


I'm so early where are the comments this is GOLD


The music and everything about this is beautiful 🥺


As a cellist, this is incredibly exciting to me. Just with the snippet in the back it sounds amazing.


It'd be an absolute dream to work with dodie. She's such an inspiration and a beautiful, amazing artist.


i honestly love the strings that dodie uses in her music, it’s what sets her apart from other artists i listen to tbh


OMG! Dodie, I am sooo happy for you. It’s wonderful when you get to see someone achieve a dream, no matter how big or small. We need more joy in this world. Thank you for sharing yours. 😁👍💖


This looks/sounds like a coming-of-age movie trailer and I’m living for it


I cannot explain with words how genuinely good it feels to be alive at the same time as this


I've always loved strings and music which features them so so much. They bring such emotion and raw humanity to a piece in my opinion. Something which I also hear in every one of your songs, Dodie, and when I heard you were going to be using more strings, not only that but a full string section I was so happy. It's true that all the little fades and emotion each player brings is something that can't be created with MIDI, theres something just so bare about a human player feeling the emotion themselves that software can't. And this extended string section in Rainbow had my heart wanting to explode with just the swell of emotion in my chest it was so gorgeous. Thank you thank you thank you.


Everything about you is just so indescribably beautiful. :)


I’m so excited for this album oh my days


She has come so far from sitting in her room playing her ukelele💜💜 I am so incredibly proud of you Dodie💜 you are doing amazingly


This is actually how I feel when I first heard an orchestra. Out of space


I'M CRYING SO HARD I'M SO PROUD OF U DODIE


I have listened to her since a long time and I always wonder: how far will she go? She amazes me. I've pre-ordered the album. I trust her.


as a string player im DYING this is so beautiful :,) i’d love love love to play for you some day


i love dodie's music so much there's just so much different instruments playing different parts and it sounds absolutely stunning ❤


Here's a thought...a bts doc series titled "building: build a problem" <br>Cause this was magic.

Here's a thought...a bts doc series titled "building: build a problem"
Cause this was magic.


The sounds are literally so pretty, like wow


Dodie brings out the inner light in me just like Isolde does.


As an orchestral musician (violinist), I love this! Your appreciation for acoustic instruments and their natural sounds is wonderful <3


well this video made me smile so much !!!!! I am so proud of you, dodie :')


Absolutely stunning! I can't wait to see what the album will hold <3


So amazing! 💛💛💛 I was so glad you decided to include strings! Absolutely beautiful! 🥰


<b>OMG, dodie! This is amazing! Congrats. You and your music make me so happy!</b>

*OMG, dodie! This is amazing! Congrats. You and your music make me so happy!*


Dodie :’( this is beautiful ❤ can’t wait for the album ✨


There is so much appreciation for the beautiful sound of strings and it is amazing. Dodie utilizes them in the most perfect way and I for one AM HERE FOR IT


Oh my gosh I'm losing my mind this is so beautiful


THE ARTISTRY THAT STRINGS BRING IS FLAWLESS


KAJSLKÖA THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL I WANT MORE DOCUMENTARY STYLE STUFF LIKE THIS


seeing you being so happy with the work you do is so inspiring and im so proud to call myself a fan of you.


There's just something so completely calming about her voice


Now THAT is intriguing! I'd love to see more, know more, hear more! I almost envy you this opportunity... in a good sense, of course! Can't wait to hear the result. All the best! <3


So beautifully done! Love the voice-over and video. Such a lovely description of the process!

It feels so personal and you can just hear the passion and excitement in her voice. I love this video. I've already watched it twice.


Oh this was beautiful ❤ I miss being in an orchestra.


So proud of how this young woman, so cool to watch from the sidelines ❤


I love how proud she is of this it’s so wholesome 🥺


Aw ❤ I love her! She has made quarantine liveable for me!!


No MIDI nor computer will ever be able to replace the nuances of humans playing on strings.


tysm dodie for pursuing music and inspiring others such as i !! always rem we will continue supporting you and are always proud of u 💜


I adore this thank you for appreciating your musicians


This kind of stuff reminds me of why I wanted to start playing the violin 14 years ago. I think it’s because it’s one of the most beautiful instruments. Dodie does such a good job at arranging for all stings. The emotion that comes through is so powerful. You can really hear her musical experience and expertise. She’s so fucking talented that it makes my head spin. I admire that so much. I aspire to be that good at anything one day.


As someone who loves well thought-out production in their pop music (dodie, Lorde), it feels so validating hearing dodie look for the clicks and creaks and inflections because those are the things I anticipate the most in all my favourite pop songs


I'm so proud of our girl 🥺🥺🥺 just this one minute clip made me tear up


You will always be my favorite. Sending you so much happiness. Please know how loved you are and how much your music has literally changed lives.


this is making me cry omg she has come so far i’m so proud


god I'm so excited I love the sound of strings in music like yours I got chills just listening to you talking and hearing the strings in the back. ps listen to Bastille and their reorchestrated tour it's absolutely stunning


Omg this is beautiful, your music works brilliantly with strings


Dodie knows what shes doing, its incredible to see her work and grow


DODIE THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL 😭 I'm so glad you got your strings and I'm so glad you share it with us. This video is so beautiful I wanted to cry!!


absolutely sobbing. I've been following you for years and I am beyond excited for your first album. you're so talented and such an inspiration to so many people <3


OH MY GOD I HAVENT WATCHED ONE OF YOUR VIDEOS IN AGES!! How far you’ve come! You’re so amazing!! Happy to be back watching =)


I can't wait to hear the news album the strings are going to be amazing!


i totally get this feeling as someone who's struggled with strings midi for soooo long omg! it sounds so so nice <3


Watching this video again having heard all of the insanely amazing string compositions on the album is a wonderful experience! Happy conductor and composer dodie in this video produced such an amazing piece of work in these sessions with these people! I feel so proud as a fan <3


I might just be early enough to have you see this! I want to thank you; your music has helped me through some really tough times. I know it's probably not how you meant it, but the song "she" really helped me come to terms with my gender identity (mtf trans). Thank you so much for being a kind and beautiful bright spot in the world!


This sounds like me talking to a pretend interviewer in the shower


I just feel immensely proud watching this ♥


And I've fallen in love with dodie's passion all over again


This was a sweet little one minute video of dodie just in love with the strings❤


It is my dream to play cello for one of your songs Dodie!! Love your music so much <3


ah this is so exciting i hope i can do something like this someday :')


you really have been talking about string sections for a long time. I'm so glad you got to write one this beautiful


Omg!! I play cello and I absolutely adore it when songs have a strings section yayyyyyy!!


I've had an exhausting afternoon of invasive medical tests and I turned this on and whoops now I'm crying


It sounds beautiful wow imagine just being in that room and watching it all come together. Have a great day everybody and drink some water


i feel like i've ascended into another dimension, that's the power of dodie's music


Oooh, this is very pretty. Betty well made, I love it :D


I know this was only a minute but I started crying, dodie, your music is touching me so deeply! Thanks for sharing your journey with us 🌞


this is so beautiful. I love dodies music philosophy


fantastic as always, so hyped for the album


Rainbow is so beautiful, all the strings together create a wonderful harmony😌


Ahhh... I love strings. I loved the idea of arranging for strings from you but I am just not talented. I cannot wait to learn more!


everything about dodies music screamed string section. it didn’t need it by any means, but it elevates the music to a whole new level. it is all so so amazing


the difference between music and music is the magic in this case I think


Aaaaah I love this I want more documentary style vids!!


omg this video is so well produced!!! The album better be as good as this behind the scenes!


I watched you started with just one ukulele and now you're writing for a string section!?? Im so proud of you and happy to see you grow as a musician ;w;;;; ♡


I would actually LOVE a series of videos like this one


the strings are so pretty!!!! every time i hear them i know weve built up to the powerful bit of the song :))


I <b>love</b> strings it's time they made a comeback, go dodie doing the lord's work bringing them back

I *love* strings it's time they made a comeback, go dodie doing the lord's work bringing them back


Her music feels like this would fit absolutely amazingly


as a cello player, i feel so loved by dodie y’know


Oh, it truly made it too. A phenomenal addition to the song. I am so unbelievably excited for this album. To see all of them, all the songs, together in their full glory UGh! To see how much she's grown and learned and different time periods of her life through different albums. <3 You're truly incredible Dodie.


I love strings in music too! strings and the piano are really beautiful in songs <3 probably yours as well hehe


It's been so great to watch you progress from simple songs on your little uke in your bedroom to arranging a whole string section. But the best part is that through all of the progression, your songs still feel close and personal. Can't wait for the new album!


Dodie, you are a GORGEOUS, AMAZING young!!! Please never stop making your AMAZING BEAUTIFUL MUSIC!!!!!


The way strings just fill you heart up...so good.


I hope you have a good day Dodie!!! This is awesome!!


oooooooooooooooooo i’m excited!!! it sounds so beautiful 🥺


yes more documentary styled videos. love this


oh goodness I am so excited for this album:)


At the risk of sounds extremely cheesy, it’s been so beautiful watching dodie’s progression with YouTube and more specifically her music. She has always been able to show her genuine love of a project, letting it through in such a beautiful way when she creates something.

This video shows why I love dodie so much, her music helped guide me through some very crazy parts of my early 20’s. She allowed me a space to be open and encouraging but also sad and lonely. These were lessons that made me to be the person I am today. I am forever grateful to her for her music.

I’m so happy to see her find such joy in her music and I can’t wait to hear it.


how FAR you've come. so pursuing music is a thing<br>Magical! <3

how FAR you've come. so pursuing music is a thing
Magical! <3


The arrangements on the new album are going to be LUSH I cannot wait


i love the way you love music <3<br>it really inspires :)))

i love the way you love music <3
it really inspires :)))


AMAZING-
I-
your talent amazes me so much. I’m so so excited for Build a Problem to be released. I’ve already pre ordered the vinyl and eeek. You are one of my biggest role models and I really hope i’m able to compose string parts like you do someday. Lots of love! xx


oh the feeling this video emanates, my god


What an honor it is to have been able to follow her journey since the first ep to this 🥺 she's grown so much and the music is so so beautiful


14 minutes early :) and no dislikes so far, as it should be. This is amazing Dodie!


It’s so mf pretty, irl sounds so much better than MIDI 😂😂❤


We love your strings, dodie. So magical.


I love this sooo much the aesthetic is exquisite xx


i felt her excitement narrating this in my whole soul


This is beautiful, like Penguin Cafe Orchestra beautiful ❤❤❤


Your version of Monster with Pomplamoose (and their string section) is still possibly my favorite song on YouTube.


this covered my body with shivers in the best way possible


But like this needed to way longer than one minute. Would love to see more!


the progress ahhh from years ago just her in her room by herself harmonizing and the claps and now she's arranging a whole string section im so proud


the unison of background noise in an orchestra is lovely,, makes it feel very natural <3


Oh my gosh 👏 queen 👏 give 👏 us 👏 more 👏 behind 👏 the 👏 scenes 👏PLEASE!!! We LOVE them!!!


I love the strings!! but I hope in the future you'll write something with wind instruments!


crying at this it makes me so happy ily dodie


IM GONNA CRY DODIE THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL


I’m so happy I discovered Dodie and her music


I can't wait to get my hands on this album....


This is so beautiful and I love it so so much


I'm a violinist, happy to be appreciated by a mainstream musician 😭🙏


dodie loving us string players is the best thing we could ask for


YES YES YES I LOVE THIS first of all, please make a documentary because thats what that seems like! second, YOURE MUSIC IS MADE FOR STRINGS


this made my little violin heart happy 🎻


I used to play the violin and they are beautiful


Sometimes I can’t even listen to rainbow because I just cry at how beautiful it is every time


That genuine excitement and relief and "ahhh" when the music clicks is how I felt the first time I watched one of your videos (after hearing much gloriousness on Spotify) and spotting the cello on your wall.  Cello was my first musical love (mine's name is Stella, have had her for 20 years now!) and that made me so happy (and made perfect sense) <3 Much love, your music brings much joy (and sadness, and glee, and contemplation...all the feelings, really). You're amazing!


I had no idea dodie was into classic composition, this is so cool


the vibes in this are immaculate I CANT WAIT


I've just come from playing my violin and then this video came up and it was a nice surprise 🙂


wow my ears - cant wait to hear all these strings dodie songs!


one of my FAVORITE things about dodie is that she uses real orchestras. I honestly don't understand why more artists don't do it if they have the money for it


I'm a string player myself and haven't played in an orchestra in months because of the pandemic, seeing this makes me miss it even more 😭


Gosh this is why I love your music SO MUCH


strings are a huge part of her music and i love it because it sounds warm


Feels like a behind the scenes documentary I'd watch.


Strings are my favorite kind of instruments!!


Dodie your in the big time now queen! LET'S GOOOOOO :D


This amazing woman is my best friends mums friend!


Can’t wait for the dodie documentary: the dodiementary


this is why dodie is my fav music artist of all time. so passionate and eager to add elements to her songs the way she sees fit. the orchestral strings at this point are a staple in her discography and they always turn out beautiful


i’ve never been more excited for music in my life


It's a cool thing when you write something, and work out all the harmonies you want, and arrange them for specific instruments, and copy out all of the parts, and pass them all out, and those people play what you wrote. And you're like "I've heard all of these notes hundreds of times over, I know how it all goes, how it's all supposed to sound" and yet... finally hearing it played by a group of real human beings -- after all that time and effort -- is like being able to hear it for the first time.

It's totally cool. Nothing else like it.


There's an odd amount of catharsis from listening to Dodie pieces that have a set of string accompaniment alongside them. It's as if the nature of music itself wholeheartedly agrees with her and they work to build each other up.

Good stuff!


I LOVE STRING MUSIC TOO ITS MY FAVORITE AND GOSH AM I EXCITED !!!!


Dodie this made me cry I have a crush and when I first came across your Chanel I was looking for a song  after I saw sick of losing soulmate it touched my heart and I started writing my own songs thank you so much for making music 😁


When this version of When comes out I’m going to SOB


These strings give me Passenger - "Words" vibes in the best possible way!


This is so bad-ass dodie! You and your music have grown so much over the past few years.


The fact I’ve been sobbing to rainbow recently and then this was uploaded ...


dodie on her way to becoming a classical composer


omg i've never been so early before! but omg i love you dodie and i love strings! (lady gaga voice) "stunning, incredible, talented, iconic"


I love the little melodica sound in there


It's hard to believe that you have recorded in the same building where artists such as The Smiths, Thompson Twins, and Kim Wilde have made their famous songs.


Can we get a dodie 'build a problem' documentary please? I could watch this for daysssss


Please make this documentary. And it should all be like this. Simple and beautiful.


dodie has become so fancy

sheds a tear of pride

dodie has become so *fancy*

_sheds a tear of pride_


Dodie litterally deserves more fame and clout than any other star I know. Can we just talk about how she writes ACTUAL QUALITY MUSIC. SHE. WRITES. ALL. OF. IT. And personally, every song I hear hits me right in the feels. The respect I have for this woman is incredible, and now arranging an entire string accompaniment for one of the most beautiful songs I’ve ever heard..... ridiculous. I love her so much and her music means so much to me. We love you dodie!!!!! Cant wait until you’re being begged to do a US tour and I can peddle junk to buy tickets to see you!!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻


Best description of MIDI I've ever heard


I CANNOT state how excited I am for this album, like ASKJSLKJDAPASDJSKSJXLKL


i dont play violin anymore but this made me want to try again


IM SO EXCITTTEEEEDDD DODIE YOU ARE INCREDIBLEEEEEE


Can we hope for a Dodie documentary? A DODIEDOC?


Sounds like an exciting adventure. Sweet.


I couldn't figure out which song it was at first but I knew it was a song that had made me cry at some point so I was going through the list of dodie songs that have made me cry and it took a LONG TIME


Ans now I'm gonna do a countdown. Lord, it feels like Christmas hahahha


I knoooow what you mean, that is why I play violin ^^ The imperfection is just the best


Goddammit I wasn't expecting to cry when I read that title


why on earth is dodie everything i want to be wha i love u queen


oh yes, your happy noises burst is contagious


such a pleasant surprise aaahhhh it's so nice


An old friend from youth orchestra is on bass, woohoo!


this was too short. I just started to get comfortable for the hour documentary that my mind had decided was following. dang it


god I love this I love this I love this I love this I love this i-


She used to use so much harmony because she didnt have the strings. Now she's kept them and added even more, it's amazing.


I wish I knew what time signature this was in 😭


Why am I so emotional???? Literally tearing up??


I don't know what I thought this video was going to be other than longer


is it just me but the Dodie fandom is so cosy


Of course nothing compares to live played strings.<br>If you're recording music at home I'd recommend the VST: Spitfire Audio - BBC Symphony Orchestra Discover. Its free if you fill out their survey. Although please consider paying the £49 if you can afford it, as it supports the artists.

How dare you make this video only a minute long!


Jeez I can't wait... I pray it doesn't get lost on it's trip across the big pond to my mailbox. In the mean time, "Alexa! Play dodie!".


OMD DODIE!!! YOUR SONG MADE IT ON A NETFLIX SHOW!!!!! I paused my show to comment this!!


Dodie please do a documentary I'm so interested


Hi why did this make me immediately tear up


i find it strange to see dodie wearing a watch


midi does really sound like quacks now that i think about it


Stop being a grown up, Dodie I can't take it!!!


I have to wonder about the people that would dislike a video like this. Are they just frustrated flugelhorn players or what? -- "WHY DOESN'T SHE PICK US!"


ah noooo! Was waiting for the song after the 1 minute intro...... I've got to wait a whole month?!


I'm crying because I love you and you've come so far and djhjsh


NO fair :( But that is also really cool :)


DODIE PLEASEEE WE NEED THE INSTRUMENTAL IM BEGGING YOU I WILL DAB 10,000 TIMES, WATCH THE BEE MOVIE ON REPEAT FOR 24 HOURS, ANYTHING....for the instrumental of this song pretty please and thank you xx


how can anyone dislike this??????? like wtf??? do you hate cutenes?????


please tell me that this is a hint towards a documentary. please, PLEASE tell me i-


Wait.... people still listen to cassettes? Really?? :D


Whats rak? Wheres rak? Whos rak? Whys rak? Hows rak?


netflix better give us a documentary for dodie or im committing arson to their building


probably not the comparison anyone expected  but you look a little bit like stefi cohen in the thumbnail


....anybody brave enough to face the one week in Europe (not exactely geographically) challenge?...of course would be more the edge of Europe, in my case ;-(


I am in the first commentssss, YEAAAAA, HELLO DODIEEEEE, ILOVE YOU YOU ARE THE BESTTTTTT


Hello hire me if you ever go on tour in Sweden, I play viola


Hey, yeah...sorry. Just real quick um...I think I’m falling in love with you? Haha.
