red and green (why do i only write non festive christmas songs)

Because your non festive songs show festivity in its true bittersweet form. There's more to Christmas than blindingly bright fairy lights and shouts of Merry Christmas everywhere you go. Like most things in life, Christmas, or any other festive occasion, isn't just black and white (or in this case, red and green ahahaa)

this song honestly hits hard, christmas was so fun and magical as a kid and now it’s filled with expectations. it’s stressful now, instead of feeling happy with the past, i’m sad it’s gone. yup i love this song

tbh it doesn’t feel like christmas to me this year - living for this anti-xmas song

i love how dodie went from "i used to play the clarinet" to "picking up the clarinet again and incorporating it into songs"
it's really inspiring :,)

"I will find my spirit in waking up with you" is SUCH a nice lyric wowowow

I feel like this song but I desperately want that Christmas glittering feeling back. I want it back so bad and I think decorating and doing my usual rituals of baking and buying people presents would help but I have no oven at my place, or money to buy Christmas decorations or presents 😭😢

I relate so much with this song. Christmas is just not as magical as it used to be for me. Merry Xmas.

I mean the real question here is why would other people only write festive Christmas songs when the non-festive ones are this good?

The grinch has never related so hard to any other song.

Ps love you dodie!

I looooove
Don’t get me wrong I like Christmas songs but after a while they all sound the same. This feels honest and refreshing and ew who says refreshing but you know what I mean. Edit: so it’s been brought to my attention that people do in fact say refreshing. My bad.

Soft grinch vibes

please still do a minor christmas.. also this is INCREDIBLE WTF
IM GONNA BE PLAYING THIS NONE STOP FOR THE NEXT 2 DAYS

Okay but when are we getting a dodie Christmas album??

i relate to this song SO MUCH. i cannot believe tomorrow's christmas eve. it doesn't feel like christmas at all

This is so relatable! It's like the older you get, the less magical the holidays feel. So you're left feeling nostalgic about years past.

it’s officially christmas when dodie posts a christmas song

because your non-festive christmas songs are the best! :)

your eye glitter is giving me life

I love this so much. I haven't been feeling very Christmassy this year because I've been too busy with exams to think about it (year 11 sucks so much). It's so nice listening to a Christmas song where I don't feel bad about not feeling festive.

Honestly this makes me feel less lonely in my unhappy holidays. Usually Christmas is a very happy time for me but I've been having a really really tough time and am counting down the days until January 4th when I go back to uni... the wait is so painful, though. I can't fix my problems from here (at home) but at uni there's: hope- a possibility I can talk to the person I really need to talk to, friends to talk to about it, and even therapists. And the environment is just generally less lonely and more hopeful. Whereas at home, I just have to pretend I'm fine despite literally crying for hours everyday, overthinking everything I've done wrong and going crazy trying to figure out how to fix the mess I made. At least I have my cat to hug here, ig. Just thought I'd vent. 2020 shall be better.

thank u so much for writing and sharing this song. I used to really like christmas, but ever since my parents got a divorce I've been feeling very bitter about festive season :') so thank u for making me feel less alone in this time of the year <3

Christmas can be one of the hardest times for some people..it only reminds them of people they lost that year or something they had last year they don’t this year..it’s so important to love and support the people going through this year

non festive christmas songs are lowkey the best! it’s a different vibe which makes the song so much better! love y dodie!!!!

I just love how she’s expanded her sectionalism, with a baritone uke and clarinet in the background. It fits her new style so well.

such an honest christmas song. so bittersweet and raw

I gotta say I oddly connect with this song. I feel not the same way as I use to when it comes to Christmas and I think the lyrics sum up it well. I do like this holiday but with life-changing and it not feeling what it used to be, I think it gets less magical the more you grow up and such. But I'm glad I'm not the only one that feels this way.


Well besides the shopping I did get some gifts for my family close to me. ^-^

The “all good Christmas’ have been had now” lyric hit the truth head on

thank you for putting how I feel now about christmas into song form. last year was the first christmas where I woke up and was like huh,, not really feeling it. And since then I haven’t been able to make it feel like christmas. no matter how many lights I see or songs I hear, it’ll never be the same christmas that I once loved. happy holidays.

So beautiful... also a mood and a half

omg the little oboe/clarinet/that instrument whatever it is YES

I'm livin' for clarinet dodie! This song is so calming and super chill, I love it.

i was just wondering if dodie was gonna do another minor christmas songs video and then i got this notification. that being said......can we expect a minor christmas songs video this year dodie?

me head bopping to this song through my twelfth christmas breakdown

Finally, the song that I was looking for years. 'Don't ask me about christmas' cause I'll be in my bed with my ukulele🙂

I am literally so happy to sew you succeeding. Sending you so much of my love. xx <3

1. This is adorable thank u dodie my life is complete
2. Idk how you’ve been doing ur eyeliner recently but just wanted to say it is absolutely adorable and suits u so well

how can someone be so stunning and talented at the same time like wtaf

i love you and everything you create ❤️

I love this the lyrics it doesnt quite feel the same anymore is so true right now i just turned 18 this year and it doesnt feel like christmas it just doesnt feel the same anymore

Love you so much Dodie, I hope you enjoy the holidays❤️

why is she so freaking talented??

When is this gonna be on spotifyyyyyyyyy

honestly it makes me happy that your christmas songs arent super happy or festive because i know so many (including myself) who struggle during the holidays and all of the cheery songs only make me feel worse about it, so to have a song or two that represent how i feel... it doesnt make me feel like some crazy alien. so thank you

“All the good Christmases have been had now” 😭❤️ this is perfectionnnnnn

Hope everyone has a warm and cozy Christmas... I love y’all 💗💕💖✨ (drop any plans y’all have for Christmas!)

love your energy Dodie

As someone who hasn’t celebrated Christmas in 7 years, this hits home

Love you dodie💙💙💙😚

What lovely control to your voice! I really enjoyed this. It's so heartwarming to see how you've matured in these last few years while still keeping the same vibe and feel to your videos and music. Plus, the line, "this isn't my favorite time of year but it doesn't have to be...terrible" is such a mood lol. Coming from a bit of an apathetic family, it's been up to me to make the season feel festive for myself if I want to enjoy it at all, and I find that I do :) it's doesn't have to be awkward and stilted. It is what you make it. Merry Christmas, dodie!

this is so cool! you should release some christmas songs next year, maybe with some of your songs in a minor key :)

I'm feeling this very much this Christmas. Lovely as always~~

THE CLARINETS!!!! I always appreciate a good clarinet in songs. 💕 This is really how I feel this Christmas tbh.

i relate to this so much. christmas just doesn’t feel the same as it did when i was little. it’s not as magical as it used to be.

This is such a beautiful song!! Wow, I just really love it!! It's so sad in a way, it perfectly captures how I feel about christmas!

Oh my god this is so amazingggg. I love the chord progressions and lyrics. I JUST LOVE IT ALL AHH

"Well done everyone. We're halfway out of the dark" - Doctor Who

Oh the clarinetttttt! I’m getting one for Christmas and this is making me so excited! I love the song as well! Everything is so perfect ❤️

It’s been like 5 seconds and I already love this song!! Love you Dodie

this is so pretty I love the melody and the arrangement and the lyrics🥰🥰

Ayyy I was really vibing with this song when you played it live! So glad I can listen to it more!!

I feel similarly about the holidays, I’ve had holiday trauma for the longest time and this year I’m trying to rewrite a lot of it, but it doesn’t change my feelings of disappointment and loneliness.
Thank you

My Christmas this year: with Dodie's music, vlogs and some wine. Great Christmas so far , thanks so much Dodie! xx

This beautiful song is inspiring me to practice my clarinet again. ☺️

my family has started to get into fights, so christmas doesnt feel the same anymore. this encompassed everything that I have been feeling recently, thanks dodes

I love this so much!! Also couldn't get out of my head how perfectly it fits to " The monster in Paris " vibes. But since it's not a new year cartoon I guess it's the melody that makes me think of that awsome work of art. Thank you for this song I really feel so much better now.

Well this made me feel like I’m not alone in my non festive feelings. Thank you!

“But what a beauty in sharing” is such a wonderful line. I’m tearing up after listening to it because WOW that song means a lot.

The way the lyrics flow is so strange but I love it! Summed up how some of us have started to feel about Christmas, cheers Dodie!

This is so beautiful! Love you Dodie ♥️

This is exactly how I feel about Christmas. Thank you for putting it into words 😂

love the chords and vocal control in this song xx

she’s back to the ukulele!!

I thought you had filmed this vertically at first and I was gonna scream

Hey, I don't really comment on videos, but I just wanted to say I'm a new fan and you bring so much light and positivity into the world. Thank you for being you :)

I love getting notifications of your channel, your voice is so beautiful ♥️

Man I’m so overwhelmed with appreciation and love for you. So glad you exist

Well shit my Christmas just got a whole lot better even if I'm spending it alone again. Thanks dodieee!

Great song Dodie,.I herd you on the radio!

somehow dodie always writes the songs I’m feeling at the moment and it’s always perfect

Your lyricism shines on this one. You have a gift, I’m so hypnotized by the way you manage to intertwine your words!

dammit dodie, why did you take all the cuteness and left none for me????

heard on BBC 2, and was waiting for it to be uploaded. thank you for this, dodie. you're amazing!

You make me feel all fuzzy and warm inside, Dodie. 💛

This makes me double excited for minor Christmas songs :)

Thank you for making this song & sharing it! It's very relatable! I don't feel Christmassy but I do it for my son when I see him. Wish you all the best for 2020 💫

I am so in love with this. It's so different and unique. ❤👍💞

I was listening to Smile at Snow when I got the notification that you had uploaded this. (An old song, I know). And seeing how much your style and voice have changed and improved is amazing! You're amazingly talented. Merry Christmas!

i love this because it put into words how I feel this year. it’s so simple and pretty. hope everyone has a great week and finds some joy, whether you celebrate or not. thats what I’m set out to do. <3

AH I’ve been so ready for your next song!!!!! Love you dodie❤️❤️❤️❤️

First Xmas without my grandad and this song really expresses how I feel ❤️❤️

The clarinet is giving me Disney vibes and I love it <3

I adore this; I totally understand the feeling. I’ve been trying to do festive things and videos and activities but ever since I moved to TX and there’s no snow, and we stay in school till just a few days before, it’s hard sometimes :(
Bringing it with the beautiful, untraditional melodies once again, queen 🙌🏻❤️

This is so pretty, I'm so glad you're using your clarinet playing more because it sounds so nice and you play so musically! Also I relate to this and it cute

this perfectly portrays how i feel about christmas this year and i love it

this hits so hard. absolutely love christmas songs like these that bring an honest feeling to the season. down to earth and completely relatable.

IM IN LOVE ESPECIALLY THE PART ABOUT FINDING JOY IN WAKING UP WITH SOMEONE YOU LOVE

I love this, it's so beautiful and I really understand how you feel. I don't like Christmas as much as I used to, but it's getting back towards the good side! Happy holidays everyone!!! Love you Dodie❤💞❤💞❤💞❤💞❤💞❤💞❤💞❤💞❤💞❤💞❤💞

Finally a relatable song. Christmas makes me incredibly anxious and I cry a lot. But this year I have someone to pat me on my back when I do. Thank you, Dodie!

I love this so much dodie, you are the one artist who has stopped me from having some sort of breakdown your music makes me so happy and means so much to me, ☺️

Really good once again 😊 so good to see how good you're getting now!! 🥰😍😁

i love this!! it shows how Christmas isn’t always joyful and picture perfect. bc not everyone has a good christmas, it also shows how growing up can change perspectives one happy things.
i luv this sm like wow

Please release this next year, I love this! 😍

Dodie, you're the best! I know what that song means. I listened to it live on BBC (thanks twitter). You're fantastic!!!! I also watched interviews earlier. I love you as we all do. Stay strong and all the best! Btw. I don't celebrate Christmas much myself lol

i am LOVING the backing clarinet in this song, truly complements the soft bittersweet mood of this song

this feels so bittersweet
this is the first Christmas I’ve had where it just doesn’t feel the same anymore
I really like this, it makes me feel better in that
we can all bah, humbug together
there’s solace in sharing miseries

I love this song so much! Getting older makes enjoying Christmas so much more difficult than the simplicity and magic of Christmas as a child. Such a fantastic song!

I always get so excited when you upload!💕

Hey dodie!!! I was hoping for a recent video upload!! Loving this! Keep them coming!

Somehow this makes that sketch you made four years ago even funnier 😅 loving the song tho; it’s so honest and I can very much relate

deliberately rushed to the radio to hear you perform this beautiful song! it's so refreshing and different to all the other xmas songs and i love it so much aaaaaaaaa

those chords are so soft i love it ✨

I love this so much imma play this on repeat all day eeeee

What are the chords pleease, I'm obsessed with this song <3

hey I’ve been watching you for like 4 years now and I can tell you’ve improved your singing a lot and gained so much control over your voice but if I could offer just one piece of constructive criticism I think if you would let your voice get a little louder it would flourish! I’ve seen it! It’s a bit more emotional that way too! Anyway if this offended you in any way I sincerely apologize. love u dodes <3

Well this just summed up my exact feelings about Christmas and I got a bit teary, so thank you. It was exactly what I needed to hear. sniffles

you literally captured this feeling perfectly im stunned

the clarinets in the background are gorgeous <3

GORGEOUS, another great song!!!

can’t wait to listen to this on repeat for 34 hours straight

Also I quite like the vertical filming! It looks nice <33

Beautiful lady and a beautiful singing voice!

the part on bbc radio where you went "ooh interesting chord" sounded so casual and cool, great job staying calm!

Mood

I wish this was on Spotify!

Beautiful as always 💖

Please make more like this, even if it's just little silly things for vloggle, itsbjust such a beautiful soundscape

It’s so beautiful 💕

is it just me or has your voice somehow become even more satisfying to listen to

the tone has changed a bit... it's like a white hot chocolate smoothly running down my throat as i breathe in.... just so warm and it feels like home... silky and makes me just wanna close my eyes and sigh in relief at something so far from the troubles of today.

Hello I would like the chords for this masterpiece, thank you and goodnight

requesting this to go on spotify!!!

I'm lost for words.
it's just too beautiful !

i’m afraid that if i dedicate my life to music i will fail, but dodie motivates me to do it, it’s very clear she does this with love and it’s really beautiful

“red pushing down on the green” - If I’m Being Honest
and in this song she says this red and green doesn’t mean the same anymore, maybe there’s a correlation or maybe I just completely went too deep and this song is literally just about how Christmas no longer feels the same. I tend to over analyze things so there’s probably absolutely no relation lmao it’s just when I saw the title my mind immediately went to that song

you are incredibly talented TT 💖

This was a deep, deep breath of fresh air after hearing "Run Run Rudolph" and "Santa Claus Is Coming to Town" several hundred times in the span of a month (and not by choice). Thanks for the honest take on the holiday season, and have as happy a new year as possible. 😁

the clarinet in the background stole my heart 💕🎅

Oh my god I cannot. This music and the little harmonies sneaking in and out and the lyrics ahhhh is that clarinet? dodie Clark you did not have permission to make me cry

This is so beautiful and real!

i honestly love the lack of specific festivity in this song. it brings it back down to reality. this time of year is hard for some people, especially when festivity seems to be in every corner, and you're forced to hide that. people find it easy to call you out on a lack of festivity before learning your situation. this song makes me feel i don't have to feel bad about things being different now, so thanks dodie x

OK, that song will be my spirit animal right now. I Love all stuff you do. Doddie

nothing makes you feel older than going and buying your own gift from ‘santa’

thanks for this dodie. it’s going to help many.

Put this on Spotify alreadyyyy!!

she's so talented. being italian i hadn't even realized how big she got until i went to england and one of her songs popped up on the radio and i screamed

i hope she makes more videos this year, i miss her!

needed this song. wasn’t feeling in the spirit of christmas, but this was very reassuring.

ack this song made me feel so seen in my seasonal depression! xmas really ain't what it felt like when I was little anymore and it's so nice to hear someone else can relate :) thank u

dodie !! u look gorgeous i love this song i rlly relate . 💘💘

i’m so excited for this year’s sad christmas song(s?) (here’s to hoping)

We have been blessed today, thank you dodes !

Love this 💚❤️

I won't ask. I wouldn't want to be asked. Thank you for always getting it. I love you Dodie! Love the stars! 🌟 😊🔥❤

trills on clarinet reminds me of la la land! Like in fools who dream.

Love this christmassy song about what everyone's really thinking beneath the polite festive conversations

This song pretty much sums up how I’m feeling this Christmas, my dad passed away a few weeks ago so not really in the mood for celebrating but it’s still nice to spend time with my family

Hell yeah, comign back here a year later to once again celebrate the icky dissociation from Christmas :) also once again I wanna put little stars on my face bc of this vid

I love for your non festive festive songs they make me happy/sad

this song is appropriate for this year especially, no one seems to feel festive this year

That clarinet trill at 1:53 and 2:13 were both beautiful and enchanting

your voice is gorgeous <3

Ah. I've been looping this for a few hours now. It's too relatable. From where I come from Christmas essentially boiled down to just giving gifts. Family members don't even know or much or less like each other. It's just gift giving with fake smile.

As someone spending Christmas Eve morning in hospital I really feel this song.

I was expecting a Christmas songs in minor key video, but this is waaay better😍

This is something I relate to a LOT but also I'm just thinking about smile at snow now and how it relates to this,,,, weird

i love ur music so much ★
i have ur book too :)

you spoke my mind! Christmas can put so much pressure on us to ENJOY CONSUME SMILE CELEBRATE so it's nice to know it's a shared feeling. love this, love u ♡

Nice job making it on the radio!

I love the stars! They are so cute!! 😁⭐️

Merry Christmas, loves!

your music just makes me want to sob. not in a sad way, just in a way that i'm having such strong emotional reactions to every sound that it needs to get out of me somehow.

Wait Woah I just wrote a poem with the same sort of vibe! Like how Christmas in your childhood is sooo much different than Christmas as an adult and no one really talks about it

The glitter makes me so happy ✨

I was listening to a bunch of Dodies songs and I got this notification!!!
This was perfect timing ❤️

As magical as always!

ok i’m always asking for tutorials but please show us how to do this i want to perform this for my family this christmas AHAH

Someone threw beautiful! From the inside, through your voice, in your face!

The stars under her eyes 💛

I love you Dodie, i have depersonisation, watching you helps me stay grounded.

i want you to like sing sweet nothings into my ear cause your voice just sounds like heaven

So I only got to listen to this after Christmas but oh boy, does this hit hard! XD

Most Christmas songs: Hell yeah, it's Christmas! Best time of the year! Give me family and presents and ROMANCE!
Dodie's Christmas songs: lol Crimbo is dead and the world is SAD.
I love it. 😂💕

i already love it

Loved it!

That was on a baratone ukulele right? I just got one recently, and I would absolutely love it if you could share the chords for this :)

Wow my mum had cancer over Christmas and I lost her in January. This really resonates

Aaaaaa I'm so in love with your voice

as a clarinet player i am lowkey fangirling at the background harmonies

This year it was the first time in years that christmas felt magical again. Maybe because I moved out and coming home for christmas feels like a proper vacation, maybe because we spend it with my grandparents. But it was just beautiful :)

You look awesome and so sparkly love dodie have a great Christmas such a sweet song

This year was my first christmas with my parents split up. It never felt like the holiday season. My elf on the shelf didn’t appear cause my mom always moved him. We didn’t have a tree. We had separate gifts from mom and dad. This song just hits way too close to home for me.

had a little cry knowing other people feel the same way as I do. christmas is a tough time for me and this song just resonates with me massively. thanks dodie :D

How exactly do you make your music? I've really been wanting to dive in and start making professional music like this! I make music but want to harmonize and add other instruments in the video like this! How do you do it? Its so beautiful 💕💓❤💗

festive christmas songs are too basic for you 💛

I love your inclusion of the reeeeeeeds!!!

this song describes how I've been feeling this month lmao

I love it so much. Happy Hanukkah 🕎

This put a feeling into words that I've desperately been trying to convey to friends who don't understand that Christmas isn't the same after you lose somebody close to you. My mother died this past year and the holiday season has been especially difficult to get through, but this song expresses what it feels like to lose the brightness of this time of year

The chords remind me of sad Would you be so kind chords and I’m here for it :)

Can we have this on Spotify pls

Beautiful words and this muted-ish sound is so soft and almost like it's booming under the surface, and the clarinet!! Oh my God. Awesome. I can't articulate properly.

OMG I NEED A VERSION OF THE ACOUSTIC BOYS LIKE YOU ON SPOTIFY

I watched your Kati Morton video so am new to your channel. I also suffer from Depersonalisation so I can share what it's like for me. It's reassuring to see someone with it function so highly like yourself whose able to share her talents. Here's my own interpretation maybe it sounds familiar to your own experience. To use an analogy. Being a person is like being a conductor in an orchestra. The orchestra is everything about you; emotions, personality, intelligence, hobbies, values. Everyone has their own 'song' to play and can hear it loud and clear and connect with it as well as others connecting with it. For me, it's like being a conductor behind a sound proof glass. I have an 'orchestra', I have my own 'songs' to play but no matter how much I try I can't 'hear' anything. Ie I can't connect to anything about me. For everyone else they hear a great 'song', for me it's frantically waving my arms in dead silence. So I can act normal but I've lost my spontaneous energy and can't connect to a sense of self. I feel like I'm watching myself act in the 3rd person where one part speaks and the Real Me watches me talking to you. I'm a reactor. I'm a wall in which people bounce off. It's like I'm too sane and unselfish. However as I've got older these feelings have diminished and I'm able to just 'Wing it' basically. This article is the best I've read https://www.eggshelltherapy.com/feeling-empty/
Also you're a great musician, very talented. Congratulations on your success.

are we getting (even more) christmas songs in a minor key?!

i got chills for a real one, way
to go!

I keep forgetting that it’s Christmas in 2 days, I’ve just lost the spirit for it and that saddens me, because Christmas was my always my favourite time of the year when I was younger :/

love the stars and the song!!

I didn't sneeze but thank you for blessing me

Thanks I love it... I’ve been waiting since u played it on the radio for I to release this elsewhere

Been really feeling this way for the last 2 years, I wish I was a kid again.

THIS IS SO PRETTY AHHHH

I love the sound of that guitar!!! (Or Barry)? What is it and where can I get one? It’s so deep and mushy and round sounding I love it

Can u please put an non festive Christmas EP on Spotify?

This song is heartbreaking and so relevant for me rn

JUST PUT IT ON SPOTIFY

This came out before the pandemic and I was really confused as to what it meant, unfortunately it's now relatable :/

this is heavenly with headphones

you’re so cute and talented
i heard this on bbc from america :)

Happy holidays dodie! 🌹

Wow, I relate to this song so much. That feeling of Christmas becoming less and less magical as the years go by, and the bitterness from living in this world that so often feels like a hopeless nightmare and like nothing is ever really going to get better. So we sigh and roll our eyes and when we do it together, the day's a little less miserable and you feel a little less alone. But it doesn't feel that great, because you've not lost any of the bitterness, and your connection is in that rather than joy.

I love it!

I really feel like I needed this. It’s Christmas tomorrow, and I’m not excited at all.

Listened to it on Radio 2, couldn't wait to download it!

Your wonderfully strange 🥳 i feel having a conversation with you would have me rolling about in laughter 🥳😁 amazing song!!! stay epic! 🖖✌️🤘

This is just magnifique 👌🏼

Really feeling the whole ~ growing up ~ thing around Christmas, it sorta feels like Christmas is just another day but just super hyped up, I love Christmas and the joy but it feels more bitter too now because it's just not the same as the excitement of santa coming and the fact that it'll change even more is so scary in a way.... idk Just a ramble I wanted to share but I didn't know where

Dang I wish you put this on your spotify

Finallyyy x I’ve been waiting for this, I listened to the whole bbc radio christmas party for this

Dodie’s like a British version of Billie but without the hype she deserves 🥺🤧 I never get tired of your music 🎶💛💛💛

This is relateable in the same way Guiltless is. Thank you.

christmas has never been about anything but love for me, and as I grow older it looses a bit of it's lackluster, and it scares me to think that christmas will never mean as much to me as used to. but I hope that as my mental health gets better, I'll start to love Christmas again and find new reasons to be happy this time of year. and i hope all of y'all do too!!! happy crimbo!!!!

This song is beautiful and you’re beautiful and this video is beautiful. You don’t need to do any Christmas shopping because this song is the best gift you could have given us <3

This was so good!

finally, the anti-christmas christmas anthem we've all been waiting for

Absolutely angelic voice

The moment you’re on Spotify listening to Panic at the Disco radio and DODIE COMES ON AND YOU SQUEE!

:(( i remember listening to this when life seemed much kinder
i just hope this pandemic ends soon. please :(

They say art makes you feel something, and that thing may be different for each person, but it's still something. Holidays are kinda the same, but with the community of dealing with those emotions with others.

I love this! Yes dodieeeeeeeee x

i guess this is my favorite Christmas song now.

why did i feel this to my core i fr got the chills

I am totally in the festive season strangely l was dreading it because I was waiting for that magical feeling to not appear and even though it's not exactly the same I'm still exited lmao. Maybe it's just because I'm still super childish which I guess isn't a bad thing.

I love you dodie 😊

You have a special kind of magic, dodie

Idk if u read the comments Dodie but u have kept me company while I wrap my mams Xmas presents for my dad. Thank u. Ur always welcome in my heart❤️

this is exactly how i feel about christmas, it's scary and sad

i really like the chords! it’s very dodie but with a splash of christmas-y... stuff. (idk what makes songs sound christmas-y, but this song has it!)

i love this so much please release this properly

I will non festively drink hot coco with u ☕❤️

It's 1 am Christmas Day and damn this is hitting hard right now

dodie, you are great and I wanted to tell, that your videos "angry" and "ow" about abusive and past relationships were really helpful and made it easier for me to figure out my personal experience and I am super upset that you took them down.

This is such a mood for this year

i’ll cry omg i love this

Loving the clarinet btw

Those sick clarinet lines back at it again!

ok but why is this such a 2020 mood. dodie how did u know

This sums up exactly how I’m feeling rn

That clarinet counter melody got me goodddd

kinda digging this ✌️😳 christmas doesn’t feel like christmas this year. the excitement isn’t there this year

I feel kinda liberated now I'm not tripping myself over about Christmas, letting it go is a relief!

Awe we gonna get some Christmas songs in a minor key this year?

Truly waiting for a full clarinet choir piece lol

love the flutes so much

one word: calming

anyone back here in 2020 when it REALLY doesn't feel like Christmas

Okay this is one of the best Christmas songs in existence

I have loved your makeup journey hope to see some more makeup tutorials! I wanna see the growth!

I’m glad other people like wearing glitter on their face. I wear it almost every day lol

Great tune!

Christmas isn't the same anymore and i'm scared that it's not gonna change🙁

I honestly feel this way. I have a mental illness that takes up so much of my energy and I honestly can’t not feel anxious about literally everything in regards to food and looking good, opinions and being genuinely happy. I love Christmas but it’s just so difficult this year :( I’m hoping that I will be fine. But, merry Christmas everyone! May these days still be good even if your mental health isn’t being kind to you. You are okay and will be fine

this so so beautiful

Thank you, Dodie!

Irrelevant but can anyone please please please tell me where her shorts from the guiltless cover are from!? I have been searching high and low since it came out. Ive spent two hours already today. Genuinely tried everyone online store you can think of and it’s killing me slowly 😂

Ps. This was beautiful

we are blessed with all this new dodie content this year lets be honest

pls put this on itunes so i can blast this sad christmas song while i text my crush who lives miles away from me

AWWWW THIS IS SO CUTE

Can you do a karaoke version? Love uuuuu

Love the song

I can relate to this song so much. It just doesn't really feel like Christmas this year. But that's okay. Have a nice day and Merry Christmas!!! 💛

Q: Dodie, do you name your instruments?

This songs good I love it

It's refreshing to hear something about Christmas that's forcefully happy, it's like Christmas films... Non are relatable bc although they are 'feel good films' they seem to focus on sickeningly happy times and over exaggerated families etc when that's not the same for a lot of people... Yanno?

Someone please put this on ukulele chordssssss I wannnnna play ittt

love love love this :)

beautiful :)

She’s so cute with her little stars....WHY CANT I BE AS STUNNING AS DODIE

I have to admit that my favourite Christmas song is The Pogues "Fairytale of New York" because it shows the side of the world all the others forget about.

Has anyone been able to figure out the CHORDS?!?! They’re great but I just can’t figure it out by ear!!

this sounds so much like a disney song in a strange but good way

heard this on the radio thingy you did and i was hoping you would post this thanks 😊

Oh my Christmas this year is super about this. This song helps. It helps to see other people being frank about their feelings surrounding something which causes me guilt over not fitting expectations for how I should act and feel. I relate resonate with "Guiltless," too, but it's kind of painful while this song is more cathartic. Maybe it would feel less painful for me to listen to Guiltless now, though. I've separated myself a bit from the person who feels like the subject of the song for me, but that person is also my dad and he's hosting Christmas Eve for my extended family so this time of year has crowded back in on me. I think maybe I'll need a bit more time before it doesn't hit so close to home. In the meantime, I can feel supported by the knowledge of other people embracing their authentic feelings during this time.

this feels like the prequel to smile at snow

look at herrr
an angel

this song is so good as expected by dodie

Does anyone know how she edits these videos? With the backing vocals? Or does anyone know a good app to edit video with?

This song is a whole mood -~-

DODIE WHAT ARE THE CHORDS I REALLY REALLY WANNA PLAY THIS SONG

i finished the magicians yesterday and i've just been crying about that and reminiscing about my ex's

Maybe it's just me but dodie looks extra gorgeous in this video ajsksjdhdijssj

Those little stars are so cute!!

You’re gr8 dodie ilysm

i hope ur still doing christmas songs in a minor key!!!

shit, i feel this way since my grandma passed away... but i adore christmas and i want to make it happy again :'(

Feel like everyone’s Christmas vibes have left the chat, is this how adults feel?

Can't wait for the next vlog to be you surrounded by rubber plants

i literally just watched this on igtv and it's made me cry.
christmas is in 2 days and i'm not feeling festive.
when santa was real and i actually had things that i hoped to get on christmas morning i was so happy.
now it feels like normal non festive times, but we decorated to make it seem less cold and dreary.
the presents under the tree are just boxes with bows.
it's sad how i have the beautiful privilege to enjoy this time of year but i'm still selfish and sad because i'm not a little kid anymore.

Are you doing another Christmas in minor key again this year?

this brought back my christmas spirit

Are you doing the Christmas songs in a minor key this year?

i am VIBING with these CHORDS like MAN

This song exactly sums up how I feel about Christmas. As a kid it was great but now it's just ugh

Lovely!

My whole body is pierced with sublime thrills unsuspected so far. But today I would know where they come from ... from you o/

I used to hate christmas I love it now thanks to jimmy dore and a few family members

I haven't let my god father's disownment stop me from loving christmas

Jimmy worked to hard to switch my views on so much

Christmas is about spending time with anybody who remotely cares about me

Jimmy proved I am his little baby whackado

Halloween is my fav then thanksgiving

as someone who doesn't love christmas and has a birthday two days before, this is the best birthday gift ever

The clarinet I’m in love

beautiful song.

The best Christmas songs are instrumental metal covers of the usual songs

dodie said SCREW christmas

lovely💕✨🎄

dodies classic charm never leaves

I only first watched your Xmas skit with Sammy 6 months ago …… was that the turning point? Please do more comedy skits

the little stars on your cheeks 🥺🥺🥺

i was listening to this again, and i realized that Christmas has felt different. ever since the 'area 51 raid'. i swear more people were actually gonna go, but i don't remember if anyone actually did. ever since then, everything has felt different. and now covid-19. something feels odd...

i’m sorry ik it’s not the point of the song but the tone of the clarinet is so amazing it’s so cool to see how far it has developed when dodie writes it into her music and honestly 10/10


all other elements of the song were very nice but the clarinet just stood out to me

My holidays in a nutshell🙃💕💕

maybe they aren’t the most festive but all of your holiday songs really represent the disillusionment with christmas that i’ve been feeling recently that like.... nobody really talks about?? so i think that these are really important thank you for writing and sharing them

Wow this song is so pretty

I love this

ahhh what ukulele does she use? its so pretty I've been trying to find it for so long ahhh

First Christmas at 18 and it’ll suck bc I’m treated as a damn adult now, no presents 😭 thank you again dodie for a beautiful song and a emotional punch in the face

now it feels like christmas :))

this made me so happy

I'm not quite sure if I'm sad or happy that I found this

aw love that you added clarinet

Pleaseeeee do another Christmas asmr please I beg

That slick, slightly purpley blacky gray for the background is a great color

Why isn’t this on spotify

Loooove it

It's funny when you feel all Christmassy a few weeks before Christmas but then when the day actually comes around the feelings gone...

uh so we can listen to them all year round without judgement of course

Dodie I love you so freaking much

will this song be available on itunes?

The clarinet counter melodies are A++++

I hear you, Dodie. I hear you so much.

This song has a very La La Land vibe much love

love this i love it yes i do

Also this makes me feel better. It’s the first without my abusive mom. Bittersweet

BET IMA LEARN THIS IN JALF AN HOUR

Beautiful

Beautiful

Two little stars on a star⭐

things that make me rly happy..

❎christmas

✅the oboe part in this song

OMG UR AMAZING

And this is why we need to remind the true meaning of Christmas. Red and green, glittering trees are empty but that little manger is full of love. Luke 2 x

your voice lifts me up

uR vOiCe iS sO sOfT 🥺🥺<3

Dodie, how is it you are so beautiful?

Why does her uke (?) Sound so cool

dodie is glowing 🤩

WENT FOR A BREAKFAST AT JUG N BOTTLE (a carvery) AND IF I'M BEING HONEST CAME ON IT WAS BLOODY ACE I HAD TO CONTAIN MYSELF FROM SCREECHING

i cried- i’m hecking emotional-

thanks for the festivities dodes!!!!

watch me shittily cover this on my tenor uke instead of catching up on homework lmao

Why do you look so much like my history teacher?? My brain sometimes says "its her its your history teacher" but then i remind myself you most likely dont live anywhere near where i live

This is really cute

At least we know she's still alive

I’ve missed your videos so much

ur a genius and all my hairs are standing on end

It's nice seeing you again <3 <3 <3

Best lil unchristmasy jam <33

I feel so broken now. The kid in me just wants to be loved. So I run to anyone that would love me, or care about people that show an ounce of interest or love. But they're never good for me.....This Christmas isn't the best.

Christmas isn't about the trappings of the tree, the decorations, the traditions it's about opening your heart to others and truly giving, just for one time in the year. It doesn't come with 'expectation', the whole point is that you give regardless of whether people expect or deserve it or not; a universal, unconditional giving to anyone and everyone. It's a time to reconnect with those you care about, but also a time to re-establish friendly contact with the stranger, the fellow man or woman to whom you owe nothing, but are thankful nonetheless. It's about putting aside selfishness, self-centredness and pride, guilt, worries and cares and just giving your heart freely and warmly. Be a light for the Christmas spirit this year Dodie, not wallowing in self-pity. You're better than that. Same goes for Tessa. There's enough to be depressed at in the world as is, we needn't add to it unnecessarily and out of a selfish consideration for our own problems. To help yourself you must help others and appreciate those who help you, every day, without thinking.

good song
meaningless youtube comment opinion: i think it would sound interesting with a slightly pop-ier sound to contrast a bit from the lyrics.

I love you so much dodie

I love you so much dodie

There's always sad Christmas songs

BRO ME TOO idk why but holidays aren’t my jam but this song is ✊✊✊

Why am I still listening to this 1 month after Christmas? And why do I not foresee myself stopping anytime soon....

Saw it on ur insta and was waiting for u to upload ^^

the most beautiful songwriter in the world.

beautiful

What did we do to deserve you ;)

This is the worst Christmas ever nd im really upset so I understand this song :((((

whoops i’m in love

This is the Dodie that past Dodie wrote Smile at Snow about 4 years ago

You give all the people over Christmas a Bop !

You remind me of heath ledger, don’t ask me why, I don’t have the answer

Why do us bisexuals like to put shiny things in our faces? 😂

you're perfect teach me how

I missed your random songs , unproduced.. when it's just you..

Hoping you'd post this from ig❤

wonderful, nostalgic smile at snow flashbacks

DODIE YOU’RE JUST A GENIUS AREN’T U 😭... i also sing on my channel, if anyone wants to listen I’ll love u forever and if u don’t I’ll still love u :) 💙💙

Dang this song slaps but I love christmas

I love your Christmas songs. Because your the only one who gets what Christmas can be like. It not all happy carols sung in choirs on Christmas Eve with pagents during days building up to Christmas. Sometimes it just another day at home with gifts for a tradition built an a hazy historical memory

I can't explain things properly. Hopefully you get what I mean.

Ya I feel the same pretty much

Well anyways, Merry Christmas y’all

OMG IM EARLY hey dodie I’ve missed you !!

Christmas songs aren’t very nice to listen to. I prefer these :)

This year has been so weird Christmas hasn’t felt like Christmas, especially because there’s no fRICKING SNOW IN WASHINGTON

Christmas isn't my favorite either!:D

Man that clarinet

Please make a minor key video 🥺

oh god this is relatable

ahhh I’ve missed you 🥺🥺

you are everything i want to be

Ahh. Dodie liked my comment on Instagram to this song yesterday. Made me so happy. I’m starting to just feel the Christmas festivity! Just blast xmas songs. And sit by the xmas tree and smell the pine (if you’ve got a real one). Go out for walks in a big floof coat and a beanie and scarf and make smoke from ur mouth. Watch the John Lewis adverts! I’m about to go to oxford street to get prezzies. Make your Christmas guys!!!

Quiet song and then...
HAVE A MEZZA CRIMBO!

I like the s t a r s

Ahaha I feel like a 5 year old writing that

I know no one is going to see this comment but I feel the need to share.
This Christmas is horrible for me. I normally love Christmas. But this year, my babies dad has him and won’t let me see him. I haven’t seen him for 3 months. I miss him. He won’t let me see him because I tried to kill myself and he doesn’t think I deserve to see him.
The festive season is shit, man.

Someone come thru with the chord changes plz 🙏🏼

ilysm

Reminds me of that skit that she was in where she learned that Santa wasn't real

This reminds me of you for some reason? I love it tho Xx

oh shit i love this

dodie pls release this 😭😭

💛💛💛

💛💛💛

Gorgeous girl🥺👄🥺

I'm on exchange in Europe (from America) and it is Christmas today (they celebrate it on the 24th) and it absolutely does not feel like Christmas. So this non festive Christmas song is just what I need rn

Where can I get your ukulele?

dodie you are so beautiful

dodie, you’re very pretty~ :)

♥️

why is this not on spotify ? christmas pout

Oh i feel this so much. I adore halloween even more than i did before, but i guess it borrowed magic from christmas in the process. It just doesn't feel the same, it feels more draining this year than it ever has. And now that i identify as pagan, i more so celebrate yule however i can, even though i'm in the broom closet about it still. Wonderful song and another one that rings true for me. Thank you, dodie!

Hey, i love u
Merry Christmas you all

Thanks for the vid, dodes!

i love dodie!

This is my first year where I can't stand the holidays (fucky family dynamics) and it just really sucks.

i go back to this often

Does anyone what camera and microphone Dodie is using?

You should vlog more, I miss your vlogs ;-;

This year is the first in MANY that I’m slightly fes (meaning festive but not enough to finish the word) but yeha Christmas is never been too great I don’t have that big family lovey, dorky and fun holidays so hi hello I’m cynical hi

Christmas songs in a minor key

Chords?

What about your Christmas? Have you got all your presents? Have you got a tree?

Ouch 💕

Is your ukulele upside down? Or, are the strings supposed to be like that?

Dude... Christmas and mental illness do not mix. It’s like the literal embodiment of happy and cheerful, and my body has a deficiency of that. Good song will share.

Thank you

Yes you brought back the ukelele bsbsjshejwbakxhj I missed this

I hope I made the right decission in sending it

babie

I love you

I love you

I kinda felt this song. Normally I'm all out for Christmas, but my grandfather died a few days ago. He owned a toy train shop, so Christmas was a HUGE thing for him. He would go to the town's community center and set up a giant train display every year. The only time my family got to see him was Christmas. We had asked him to come down for Thanksgiving, but he was too busy (because Christmas was coming up). He said that it'd be okay because he'd see us at Christmas. He died on the 18th at 84 years old. My entire family had put Christmas on hold, but now that we're almost done planning everything, we're frantically trying to get back into the Christmas spirit. There's still shopping to be done. We never finished decorating the way we normally do. But at least we get to spend time with family. ❤

cute

wow i love u

Hey, how are u? I came from ur derealization video I’ve had dr for 9 months now no one knows. I mean I tried telling my parents or brother but they don’t seem to believe me so I just keep it to myself now and suffer in silence.
