Thank you for this video - the timing of everything you said and the fact you said it all today feels so deeply personal. I've been really struggling with my mental health for about 5 years now, and after somewhat/mostly recovering, it all came back this year really badly, and all just got unbearable and culminated to tonight, where I was believing that it would be easier if I just wasn't around anymore, and after several attempts over the last few days I was considering going all in tonight.<br>But after hearing you speak about how this is such a small portion of our lives, and how the ramp does eventually even out, I feel such a sudden surge of hope, and somehow managed to remember that no matter how small that last bit of hope is, it's still there, and I still have my whole life ahead of me to learn how to recover and get better. There's still time. :)

I am 20 and you helped me through a very rough times thanks you. Your music really is a symphony.<br>Look up a song called Achilles come down it made me think of you

Look up a song called Achilles come down it made me think of you


I've really loved this recent flurry of videos. I've missed you Dodie.

I am 21 years old and have been watching you for about 5 years now. Can't wait for whatever the reveal is! ❤


I don't normally comment anything but I wanted to say that I've been watching you for 5 years. I started watching when I was 15 and now I'm 20. I feel like a completely different person now but I still get the same feelings from your videos. I was really lonely as a teenager and I felt understood by you and like there was a way forward. I'm not as lonely now but I still appreciate everything you do. :)


i wish i had known you way earlier. but the 3 years we've had so far have been nothing but glorious. i love you and thank you for everything you do. your community is lovely🌼


I’ve watched your videos and listened to your music for about four years and you’ve helped me so much. You’ve helped me with figuring out my mental health and my sexuality and your videos just always felt like a hug. I’m going through a lot at the moment and these videos are helping me like they used to and that is so comforting. Thank you for all of that and i’m so excited about this, whatever it may be <3


Hey dodie! 23F here, watched you for so many years now.. through middle and high school, through the army duties i had to do, and now through uni <3 love you lots and excited for tomorrow!


I'm so excited! I've been thinking recently about how over the last five or six years I've been watching you and growing with that. How your songs, whether they were "album worthy" or your I'm busy song or my bedroom I could relate to them on some level and how that's changed as I became an adult. So thank you Dodie for being that beautiful, eloquent, creative brain that could put those experiences into words and music that make sense.


ahh ive been with you for almost eight years now and its been so nice and wonderful to see you grow and to listen to you


so crazy to see your growth and view on life change throughout these last few years, been watching for 6 years now, very excited for the announcement!! I recon its an album (I'm hoping it is), lots of love!!


Ugh!!!! Dodie you special wonderful light, thank YOU!!


Thank yOu :) just thanks !! This helps so much :’D And I’m so freaking excited for tomorrow eeee lmao what ever it is ima cry lololol


I'm so happy that you exist and glad to know of you. :) <br><3

I'm so happy that you exist and glad to know of you. :)
<3


ah gosh this felt so personal. feels like you’re right there. i hope it feels that way to you too dodie. we’re all right here and there will always be people looking out for you and supporting you. thanks for making my days lil brighter. you’ve been really helpful. 💛


Dodie <3 you're such a wonderful person, and your music has been a companion for many years - I've been a subscriber for... I want to say five, six years? Also we're the same age (give or take a couple months), and seeing you go through different stages/phases has always given me courage to tackle my own, and seeing how you've made such an incredible impact on people always motivates me to keep trying to pursue my goals. I don't comment often, but I watch every upload and it always puts a smile on my face (even if it's sometimes in a bittersweet, "this is so sad but I feel seen" kind of way). Will continue to stick around for whatever you are willing to share, and will always see your content as a lovely gift you put out into the world!!!


This was lovely, thank you. Para-social relationships are a quagmire which I'm still stuck trying to completely free myself from but having you say such encouraging things here whilst also have been successfully only sharing to a certain point throughout this meant a lot. Does that make sense? Sorry, maybe it doesn't. Lot's of ideas there and I don't necessarily know how to lump them all for the meaning I intended! Anyway, thank YOU for this and everything.

Also, on another note, weird but nice to think all of our lives are unique and SO long yet we all share something in experiencing your music and videos. Yes we all come to them with different experiences, but we do also share the experience to a certain extent. That's special <3


started watching you after carrie hope fletcher recommended your “nostalgia” video in one of her videos, and i’ve been here since. i’m beyond excited for this album. much love <3


these videos have been such a help through this crazy time. Its nice to have something calming playing rather than just being surrounded by constant intense news headlines. Thank you dodie. I've been a fan of yours for so many years, thank you for everything you've put out into the world so far <3


Thank you for exiting and providing us this content. During the Tarantino film that 2020 has been and keeps being your energy is something so pure and special. Words cannot express how grateful we all are for existing, even for those short moments on YouTube, thank you 💛


I relate to this a lot, coming up to 23yrs old. A lovely chat. Thanks Dodie. :)


Hiiii Dodie, lots of love to you! I began actively watching your videos a few days ago, although I came across you in 2019 already, but I wanted to let you know that you're a lovely and amazing human being, you're just so genuine with everything, and you have helped so many people with your music and your videos❤ <br>To whoever reads this, you're amazing, hope everyone's doing well😜

dodie 💛 you are so wonderful. thank you for continuing to show up to share a part of yourself even when the internet can be a vast, scary, and sometimes unforgiving space. your videos are so calming and i appreciate all of the good you bring into this world. 🌏✨


You are such a special person! Love you so muchhh ❤


Thank you for this video, i cannot believe you have put into words what I've been feeling for the past few months about the internet and the black and white thinking. Especially today, my country had it's presidential elections and everyone seems to have gone mad, the last few weeks were unbearable to be online. But having you posting again has made it better, and feeling like I'm not the only one that is repulsed by the way the internet is rn is so refreshing. I've been feeling more and more like my thoughts and experiences go so far beyond the dichotomy of the discussions online that i need to protect them and keep them to myself, and it has made me value my own opinions and thoughts a lot more, because o don't feel the need to share them. I think a lot of beautiful things, and i have kind intentions, and i feel so free just not engaging with the systems that try to reduce them into boxes


My friend told me about you 5 years ago and you have come to mean so much to me. Your music and willingness to be vulnerable in your videos and music helped me to overcome lots of traumas and leave the people I needed to. Thank you Dodie


It’s been fun growing up with you for the past (almost) five years. I first came across you when Evan was doing those British v. American videos. When I was a teenager in high school, I absolutely loved Would You Be So Kind and Absolutely Smitten (they’re so cute and fluffy and aaa). I remember being 16-17 and crying every single time I listened to When. Now, in my last year of college, your music has shifted into something more mature—a little deeper, less playful, and more of what I like to call my pile of “songs that I feel in my soul” (Guiltless, Ready Now, and Anyway). I’m excited for what you’ll come up with during this period of uncertainty that is my early 20’s ;-;❤


I just wanted to say that I’m 30 and I’ve been watching you for years, obviously I’ve always been older than you haha but I’ve always found your music sad yet comforting and the way you speak about life is so interesting and engaging. I’m an LGBT+ youth worker (and an LGBT+ person myself) and lots of the young people I work with adore you. Anyway I dunno what the point of my comment is, I guess just hello from an “older” fan (I don’t consider myself a part of any fandoms like I did when I was younger but I’m definitely a fan and from what I’ve seen across the years your fandom is filled with love and friendliness and kindness! You should feel so proud of yourself for nurturing that kind of fandom!). Anyway just hello and thank YOU! 💕💫


I've never commented and just created this profile to be able to so
I LOVE YOUR MUSIC and your nice and aesthetic videos!
also ... I AM SO EXITED FOR TOMOROW !!!!!!


thank you dodie! ♥ i've been a subscriber for a long time and your videos and lyrics always gave me comfort. i look up to you a lot as an aspiring musician that started on youtube :)


Honestly 5 years feels like nothing <br>Iove you dodie ❤

Honestly 5 years feels like nothing
Iove you dodie ❤


Thank you dodie! I usually don't comment, but your videos have definitely helped me in some ways to slowly learn how to life. Exited to see what you'll show us tomorrow! 😁


I first subscribed to you in September of 2016 and it’s so crazy to see how much you’ve grown and how i got to grow up with you. so thank you as well


I just watched this before I go to school. A very nice start to my day indeed, so excited for tomorrow


You put up these videos in a very emotional time for me. Your messages resonate with me and have brought me a bit of quiet peace, feeling like I have someone else who is in too. I hope you find your own peace.


I think it's insane the fact that I'm 20 and you're still speaking to my soul. I think I was 16 when I found you and ever since then you have put words to feelings that I didn't understood. I was (and still am) so scared of feeling sad, and you helped me to let go.<br> I can't thank you enough for creating a safe space for me and so many people around the world

i’ve been watching you for nearly five years and it’s wild to go back on your old videos because it’s not just looking at who you used to be but who i used to be at that time as well, and see how both of us have grown??


saw you in berlin and munich concert. Was so good for my mental health and was frontrow both times 😄<br>thank you for your music helps me and my borderline a loooot

thank you dodie.
this video really hit home for me.
 my friends and i just discuss politics and how we're going to get into college and make money and in the meantime i'm just. here. existing. in between things, y'know?
so it's really, really good to hear that i have... time.
so thanks. means a lot.


I’ve been a fan for about 3 yrs now and because of you Dodie, and your channels and content, I’ve managed to get through and keep going. So, thank you for being alive and for the content you make 🥰


Sending you all the love and peace and strength right back!! You've given so much to this community and made such a difference to so many of us. I've been following your music and videos for years-- I'm one of those followers who's around your age (also bi! and with depersonalization!!) and your videos have had such a positive influence. They've made me feel much less alone over the course of figuring all of this out, and your art has helped me through so many dark spots in my life. Thank you so much! <3 Can't express that enough.


dear dodie,
i hope that you know how much your gentle, soul-filling music means to people (how much it means to me). i'm so glad i found you and i'm so lucky to get to follow your journey.
sending lots of love your way
xoxo


thank you for being you, you mean so much to me and many people so thank you and ily <3


This is so beautiful, I love the way your music has impacted your fans. For me personally yes, your music has been there through it all. All of the highs and lows as you said. I recorded a version of “intertwined” for my aniversery with my first boyfriend and then softly cried to sick of losing soulmates on the bus my junior year after we broke up. I’ve had countless fun nights singing “you” loudly with my friends, all competing to see who could sing the high note at the end.  Ive cried to so many of your songs over my second breakup “let go”, “just fine”, “one last night please” (that one really got me). I sent ready now to my best friend to thank her for helping me to grow into who I am. I went to your concert with my best friends and laughed and cried and danced. Two weeks ago I had surgery and the doctors played “she” for me to fall asleep to which added so much peace to a very scary situation. You’ve even inspired me to write my own music. So thank you dodie. Thanks for being such a big part of my highschool and now college journey


Every time I think I have reached maximum love for dodie...


thank you from the bottom of my heart for this. i just began quarantining, in a new building, in a new city, alone, as i have symptoms of COVID-19 (i’m planning on getting tested soon), and this helped ground me and help me admire everything i can see from this small window for the few weeks that i’m here. i can still feel the fullness that life has to offer. thank you, again, for this little talk and for all of the amazing narratives and artistic creations that you’ve put out for the world to see.


I have really loved these videos.  Such a constant comfort in what is a very hard time.  I’m so grateful for your music and your voice and your thoughtfulness.  Thank you for being you and spreading love and joy.


So excited to find out what this what this project has been about😁😁. Thank you for being so amazing, i really love you and everything you do. You never fail to make my day brighter. Sending you love from newcastle❤💛💚💙💜


Even though I know only a tiny little part of the real you, you feel like an old friend. Sometimes I come here a lot, other times I don't for a while, but it's always nice to meet you again and see how you've changed (while I, myself, have changed too). Your music is always a soft and safe place for me, I'm happy you decided to share it with the world :·)


I found you your music and your videos when I was in the lowest of my lows, winter 2018-early 2019. I’ve stuck around since then and it makes me happy to see this and hear you talking about life and everything it’s just really interesting considering how you helped me so much and probably many others and you don’t even know my name. It’s Maggie by the way, hi :) I hope you’re doing well if you’re dodie or if you’re a person reading this, have a nice day/night :)


I think I found your channel through the collab with PAINT and fell in love with your music.

I hoped to finally see you live on tour earlier this year - but I have to say I'm just really glad I discovered you, this little gem of emotional openness, amongst the sea of channels on this platform. Every video of yours is like a balm for the soul.

I hope you'll stay as happy (mostly) as you seem to be now. And I hope that, too, for myself and anyone who feels the same.


thank you dodie. i found you and your music in middle school and now im graduating this year and you’ve been one of the things that has served as a constant comfort and gotten me through it all. much love! <3


Videos like this inspire me so much. I remember SitC 2018 you live for the first time, meeting Daniel, Hannah and so many people. It was after the worst panic attack in my life, first time I travelled by myself. It meant so much to me. I felt so grounded that day, depersonalisation and derealisation wasn't an issue that day. I felt like me. Thank you dodie. Granted I cried and screamed so much that looking back I'm embarrassed. It helped me in more ways I care to admit, it helps me to know doing this helps you also. Thank you dodie xxx


dodie thank YOU for being you and making music that resonates with so many people. i could literally be feeling any way and you'd have a song to fit that mood


Your video... it makes me feel. Allow me to, if you will, explain how it does so:
Age: It doesn't matter how old you are; you bring your own experiences, your own failures, your own successes, everything, into a conversation with anyone who is willing to listen.

Mistakes and guilt: Yes. This number will only get larger the more you live. Learn from them, live through them. Whether you're dodie or anybody, it still applies.

Life is long. It's longer than you ever expect, and shorter than you ever want. The ramp leveling is life: Everything leads up to the ramp, and then the ramp levels out. What do you do when you reach the ramp? Do you want to crest the ramp, or back off and come back down? That's something that only you can answer for yourself. Honestly, it seems like you're riding the ramp, and you will never regret it, no matter what happens.

Empathy and The Internet scares you: It should. As someone who was there from the birth of the Internet as we know it today, there's a vast disconnect between actual humanity and what we experience online. People view the anonymity the Internet provides as a shield; a barrier or disconnect between how they should act and how they do act. Be wary of anyone who acts differently online as opposed to in your face.

By Jove, you have done it. If you stop, right now, you've successfully navigated and conquered the known world. You're an international sensation, and literally more than anything more than anyone my age would have hoped for in our time.

The bottom line is this: Perspective is a hell of a drug. Appreciate yours, and respect others; somewhere in between is the real truth. You've got an amazing head start on most people your age, don't forget that.


Thanks you  dodie <3 stay as  you are, always


I really needed this today. So thank YOU


I find it quite interesting how when I started watching dodie it felt like she was so much older and mature than me and I used to put her on a pedestal. Now, I am 20, I know how much she has changed and grown in the past couple of years and now she inspires me and gives me hope that I can become better.

Also I now have great friends that are older than dodie but 5 years ago I felt that she was so muh older than me...


i feel like my little life track is at a steep incline and its only getting steeper. everyday feels like ten.  your videos have got me through so much. your music is sometimes the only thing moving me forward. thank you for everything you do. i wish i could support you more. all i have is my presence.


and i hope your journey is as wonderful and exciting and heartbreaking and fulfilling as all of ours will be! thank you for the kind sentiment, you are truly a lovely human being. can't wait to hear your new song!! i love u dodes <3


"the young people tend to be the loudest but I see all of you that are my age" - Dodie's 2 years older than me and when i was a teenager I always thought she was this mystical adult figure to look up to, but now we're both just women going about our mid twenties I feel like i can relate more than ever :) so excited for the album!


Man, you have some magical timing my dude. Lately, I've been thinking about e x a c t l y what you're saying. Life is so much bigger than we think, and no one can fit into boxes because we are simply more than them. All these experiences and things we've been through aren't us, but things we've lived through. We cant be simplified to our thoughts or our past or our patterns, because we have lived them, and we are here now, they aren't (I hope that makes some sense).  I've been struggling lately, and though I won't go through the details, it's so nice to see I'm not alone in my thoughts and experiences, and it's also so cool to come back to your channel and reflect on a few years ago when I was listening to "secret for the mad" to have hope for the future, and I hope you know how impactful your work is on so many people, although we don't know each other, your work and art has helped me a lot and I'm so thankful <3


I found you when I was around twelve years old and suicidal. My parents were divorced, I had friends that were absent, and everyone I knew had basically abandoned me. Now I'm sixteen years old, a Junior in highschool with better friends and am applying to internships and building a resume for a future career in graphic design and marketing. Your book, songs, and vlogs have helped me so much throughout the years and I appreciate that a lot.<br>Thank you for being a friend even if I don't know you <3

I found your channel through a friend when I was younger. It’s been about four years since and I look back at the way I saw the world and I wonder why it changed. And then I look at my life’s “intricate nuances” and you put it and I realize where it comes from. My life has been crazy and as of late with things that have happened to me I’ve been struggling to find a reason to keep going. But knowing your channel is a place I can go, as cheesy as it sounds, to look at life as a beautiful landscape is something I cherish and appreciate greatly. I don’t know if you’re reading this or if anyone else is, but despite how I feel sometimes I know life can be beautiful and the wonderful people here and you Dodie have taught me that. My own journey has shaped who I am, and I too have been learning boundaries. I’m 18 and I know I’ve got a lot left to live, but I look back at 14 year old me and I wish I could tell him that life can be beautiful and you should hold onto that view even with all the things you are going to go through. Thank you Dodie for all you do and thank you anyone else who reads this for being here and existing and making life seem more beautiful


Thank you dodie. I meant it, honestly, thank you


your words mean a lot to me, thank you. cried a lot lol, thanks for those 6 years ive known you.


I don’t want this to end it’s like a little nugget of happiness in my day


I've honestly really enjoyed your little videos you've made recently. They're so short and simple, but they're nice that way. Little snippets of ideas and thoughts and life and a reflection on life as a whole, made up of all the good and bad and everything inbetween. I find myself making cups of tea and cosying up to watch them, and forget about the rest of the world for a few minutes, and reflect on myself. It feels so personal, yet so widely relatable to so many people, and really quite beautiful in a way.


These last few videos have really helped me. <br>Sending love from a 26 year old silent viewer who never comments on anything.

ill be honest, i’ve felt like shit all month and these videos made me feel a little less like shit. thank you


needed to hear this today. im young and making mistakes and this comforted me.


ive been a fan of yours for a few years now! I went to your concert at the sd house of blues on oct 9th, 2019 with one of my friends. i was really scared that night because i had a very traumatic experience at the concert before yours that caused me to have an anxious breakdown. but the space at your concert made me feel so safe. i've missed you and i'm glad you're back on youtube <3


Thank you. This is lovely. It was needed.


i wish i could hug the me that found dodie 5 years ago, but we have grown with dodie and that is just so special. thankyou always dodie, we love you so much


Dear Dodie, I like You soooo sooo much!!!! I kinda  grew up with your videos. I am watching your Videos since four years  and I still enjoy them after  all this time. I went with You through  your ups  and downs, and felt understood with my own  struggles. Tank You for creating this beautiful art <(^^)>
Lots of love,
Marly


ack ack ack ack ack It makes me so happy it hurts to see dodie fiddling with the internet again, I treasure every word that she speaks to us


no, thank you <3. These video's really make/made my day. =D


This fandom is always such a nice space to come to and feel supported by each other. I've been here for a few years now and you and your music have helped me through many rough times, so thank you too! I'm excited for tomorrow :)


Spotify blessed me with your song about 3 years ago and it is such a adventure to see how much you changed and how much I changed during this time. You were and still are always my inspiration and I was so happy seeing you on concert in Poland. I hope when everything will be more safe again I'll see you somehow live. I'm looking forward to know what all of those hints mean (I'm pretty sure it'll be incredible as always) and I'm so grateful that you're doing what you're doing and I just felt like sharing it so thank you for everything byee


Been here for awhile and plan to be here for awhile. I’ve had the chance to grow up with your music. My early 20s were filled with your music and still is. Can’t wait to see what’s this next chapter has in store for us all ❤


Thank YOU for being part of my good moments.


I love that of the infinity of the universe this is the tiny piece that I am experiencing right now <3


dodie! I can't believe I've been watching your channel for 8 years. I'm 20 now - that's ridiculous!! Your videos and your music have been one of the few consistencies in my life, and I'm so grateful to have grown up with them both. My friends and I were lucky enough to have met you and Evan at your Sydney meet up in 2014 I think? and then again when you were touring with Bry in 2015. We gave you some really tacky green Australia themed oven mitts and  called them "Dovan" mitts lmfao. What a strange patch of life to have lived through . Thank you again for everything! Excited to see what the future brings <3


i love these video's. they're so deep, but like lowkey comforting and i think that that attributes to the new dodie era? idk. maybe. anyway i love it. i love how you're not putting yourself on a pedestal but you're honest. and real. not afraid of going into depth. we need more of that in this world

<3


I am a 6ft 2" tall, teenaged, death metal fan, with a split personality and general lack of connection to the world around me. I am living proof that anyone can love your videos/songs/face.


thank you for being there in all the tiny ways that matter <3


I really enjoyed these videos and it’s so much fun trying to put letters together and I think I know what it is 🤫


Thank you Dodie ❤❤ aaaa I can't wait for tomorrow


i literally love you so much dodie your amazing


I actually haven’t watched your videos in yearsss but I just found you again through this series, and I cannot tell you how much your genuine-ness and calm in the face of discussing more difficult subjects has given me peace. It sounds weird to say lol but watching your videos now has just made me feel so calm and understood while I’m in this part of my life where I feel anything but calm and understood by people around me. So thank you for creating content like this, and I am very glad to be back watching as well as back in this lovely bubble of people 💞💞


I’ve been watching your videos just because of your voice. 😍😍


As one of those 'older' people watching your videos, THANK YOU.


i'm just so happy to be a part of this fandom


As one of your oldest (75) and most recent subscribers (only a few months ago) I'd like to say thank you for being you!


you are beautiful. your personality, you as a person - i love you sm, ty for being here


i really needed to hear this today dodie 🥺 the pandemic has taken a huge toll on my mental health, and today was the closest ive come to a panic attack in a few months. my allergies mimic a lot of covid symptoms and our cases are going up. so thank you for sending peace, it really cheered me up ❤


im so happy to have met you face to face in LA when it was possible. it is such a blessing to have had your eyes meet mine and for us to personally acknowledge each other as individuals, even if just for a minute or two. i wish you only happy feelings.


It's fun to think I'm in this fandom - I didn't realize I really was until I saw your announcement video and immediately preordered a vinyl. Your music definitely meant a lot to me in different ways at different times (coming to terms with my identity in middle school, being an emotional outlet later on) and feel so lucky that I've gotten to see you live. Your live show almost exactly a year ago today in LA is the best show I've ever been to because every single member of the audience knew all the words, and you are a great performer. Anyway, don't particularly know why I'm writing this, more than just to say thank you and I'm excited for the new album! Congrats! (and thank you to the rest of you who form such a great group)


i’ve been watching since 2013 or 2014.. as a teen i resonated with you and saw myself in you but just a few years younger and usually somehow one step ahead of you as far as what you shared online went. like mental and physical health obstacles type of stuff. i admire you for overcoming so much and watching you grow up made me growing up more comfortable too because i was so scared of it (i still fucking am what is this). my husband and i were talking about you the other day even while i listened to Life Lesson and our CAT NAMED DODIE (i’ve given you pictures of her before she’s black) about how thru the years i’ve kept up with your content and not fallen away. Dodie is 3 now even. thank you for the content and love to your community


I have been watching your videos on and off since I found your channel all of those years ago when I was just graduating High School, I remember the ups in your life that you shared as well as all of the downs you've expressed in your life over the years. I remember how my life was at those points, the lows, the highs, and having someone so raw such as yourself expressing these issues in the past and your own struggles is something I am forever grateful for. You've always been a beacon of light for me(I am now 26 years of age) and was diagnosed with a certain Dissociative/Depersonalization Disorder, that I would have never even explored had I not been watching you.

Dodie you have ALWAYS progressed forward, you have always pressed forward, you have helped many of us in so many ways I am not sure you'll ever be able to fully understand. I am sure you won't see this but if you do please know that no matter what struggles lie ahead, no matter if you continue to post here or on YT at all. Just know you have a huge group of individuals who have survived, learned, grown, and become better in part due to your openness with sharing on YT.

I will always remember you and this channel fondly, and I will always come back to see how far you've come. Best wishes in life Dodie, thank you again for allowing me to understand my own life a little better.

Much love always, for you, and for everyone that has stuck around or just subscribed.


dodie got me crying in the first minute <3


Dodie your sooo human  and that's why I love you!  I am so glad you found your way I feel like we struggled through depression togther grew up togther which is silly cause I dont know you really. But your just so human and I love that. I'm 25 and just starting to my journey after a long time trying to find my way. Good luck to you fellow  human !


I found your music in January through Tessa Violet and then I found Orla...love you all, you’re so talented! <3


So, I doubt you'll read this but I want to thank you because in all your nuanced and complex life you gifted us with your music and talent. I can say that I don't know you, but I get it. I get the highs and the lows you show through your art. And it is true that you don't know me, but I know that if you did, you would get it too. A big hug from Spain


ive been watching u since i was 12 and im nearly 18 now... u helped shape a lot of who i am and u dont even know me. the world is so massive and peoples impacts are just immense wtf bro


maybe it's the fact that i'm running on about 1.5 hrs of sleep over the past 30 hours but you do be out here nearly makin me cry with your lovely lovely words


"and you will be okay" dodie 2020. Fuck my heart just melted


Thank you so much dodie for sharing your talent, your experiences, your highs and lows, and for taking care of yourself and choosing to put up those boundaries. I am so so so excited for whatever comes next. You inspire me to take better care of myself, to take quiet moments for listening to a 25 year old pretend to be my granny from northern England, for catching up with friends, for looking at a cute look book and get inspiration for my own clothes. Your content lately has been so nice and comforting to watch, and your music continues to touch my soul. You truly have something amazing here, and I truly think my life is better for it. 😊 Thank you dodie, been waiting for this big reveal since the first time you mentioned it and I am soooo excited!!!


i am so glad that you are one of the YouTubers i grew up with. i started watching you in 2012, found you threw your old collab channel, when i was only about 11 or 12, you were like my cool older sister or the one older teen who I looked up to as a kid and now here we are your 25 and I'm 18. It's been so cool how we are going through totally different phases in our lives and yet for me it was as if we were still going throw it all together. i can never thank you enough for that.


I'm glad that I found your channel 3 years ago, I will be sticking with it for a long time too. Your videos and music has inspired me and I listen to your music everyday and can't get enough.
Please keep doing what you do because it shows me and many others that being yourself is super important and I can relate so much through your music.
I'm trying to get through school and there are lots of exams coming up but your songs and little videos really help me get through it all, I'm proud to be a part of the dodie fandom <3


i found out some bad news about my grandparents today and just listening to your voice is helping so much. thank you so much


I have watched your videos since 2016 (I think) and I always liked to rewatch them before they were made private because they were so comforting to me. You seem like such a gentle person and there’s something so relaxing about listening to you whether that’s talking in your videos or through your music. So thank you Dodie for being a comfort to me in these hard times and in many hard times I’ve had before ❤


thank you dodie, your music literally saved my life about 3-4 years ago. everything you do means the world to me. you also helped me realise i am bisexual and helped me feel less alone with my bad brain, you deserve everything thank you <3

also please excuse my writing what was that, i am up at an ungodly hour


I'm 29, and I think I've been here since about the beginning.. back when you and Bry (who went by Bribry then) played music together. I don't know if I've ever commented but I have watched and listened to mostly everything you've made.. and saw you in Seattle last year. Your music has always been a place of refuge for me. You were the only reason I knew what was happening to me when I had a psychotic break in 2017 and suffered severe DPDR. I would have had no idea if you hadn't spoken about your experience, and just knowing that it was a real thing (in a world of completely unreal things) may have saved my life honestly... Thanks for being here, it's been a pleasure to grow up alongside you in a way.


This video honestly made me cry. I'm not really sure why, but every word you said just hit me so hard. Your music always makes me feel better whenever I'm feeling down. It's just very relatable and every time you talk about your mental health I feel like I'm not alone with mine. Getting a video from you every day the last two weeks has made my days so much better. Thank you ❤


I get so caught up in the negatives sometimes, that I very often don't see positive things that have happened in my life. This video, listing the complexities of humanity, helped me grasp some really good moments. I guess that's how I Build A Problem---a lot of it is battling my own head :)


Sending you all the more love, strength and peace can't wait to see what you've come up with this time :'')


im 20 and you remind me that its okay to be the way that i am. so thank YOU!!!


As much as I want the announcement to be new music (I really really do!) Something tells me it might be a book? She has mentioned before that she wanted to write another one. And build a problem really does sound like a book. It could also be an album/EP and that would be awesome too!


Okay, life IS long ffs. I've only been alive for 24 years and I'm already tired of this bullshit lmao

(I've been watching your videos for years now, your music is amazing I relate a lot to your songs and feelings. I'm not very loud to be honest but just know that I'm always here and wishing you the best 🤍 )


oh wow i wasn't expecting to cry?? tfw you don't realize how much you're struggling until someone kind offers you some empathetic words and you totally break down


without fear, peace has no meaning. feel it, explore it. the peace will find you.  i love you sm, and i’m so excited for tomorrow! :) <3


I haven't yet commented on any of Dodie's work before but I've been listening and following since at least 2016, every video is like a catch up with a friend and I adore the realism so much. Thank you for sharing this part of yourself with us.


Hi dodie! If you're reading this, I just want to say thank you for all the hope you have gave me through your songs and videos. They have helped me a lot when I was in a darker place. In my late teens, I used to struggle a lot with mental health and not knowing what I wanted to do for a living. Now, in my early 20s, I have moved to a big city and I'm studying to become a translator, a career which I'm madly passionate about. I love working with words and shaping sentences, and finding the right ways to say things.

I feel like, in our separate and individual lives, you and I have both grown up a lot. I'm so proud of our accomplishments. I'm so proud of this community that lets us be vulnerable and human together. Thank you for everything, dodie. You're amazing and wholesome <3


No dodie, Thank YOU. You saved me, you saved us.


Thank you. I needed to hear what you had to say today. It wasn't a bad day. It wasn't a good day. It had it's moments of pain and joy, some of it more intense than others. Still, stumbled onto your words and they made a difference. So thank you.


im lucky to have the opportunity to be impacted by your energy dodie, i wish you peace and happiness in ur own journey too ♡ i alsp truly believe that empathy is the strongest suit we have. I love too hard but i wouldn't have it any other way


i rlly rlly hope it’s an album, n that each set of chords from each video is used for each song!! ahhh


24 years old and I've no idea how long I've been here because every video has feel like it's been right now for me even if the videos are old 😅 here for the long run ❤


idk how to explain it but sometimes with other youtubers when you watch their videos it’s like, ur aware that they are addressing thousands of others but with dodie’s videos she always makes it feel like she’s talking only to you, that ur special in that way, and idk it’s just rly nice n comforting <3


i never comment but i just wanna say that ive been here for about 6 years and your songs have always carried me through the most terrible of circumstances varying from paralysis and homelessness to queerness. weve never met but i feel like you know me, your music makes me feel seen


u mean a lot to a lot of people my dude🥰


it’s been so wonderful to see you post so much these days. i honestly<br>have felt like i’ve been able to grow up with you and so much of my life has been shaped by you. I think i was 13 when i discovered this channel and you’re the reason i started to pursue music and songwriting (i now know how to play three instruments because of this!! yay!!). It’s crazy to think how much of an effect you’ve had on me without ever meeting (oh the internet). But i will tell you it’s a beautiful thing. Im almost 18 now and i’ve been so lucky to have you in my life. thank you for the inspiration. truly wouldn’t be who i am today without it. Love you dodie!

Thank you dodie for sharing your beautiful unique way of thinking  beautiful video your a beautiful unique intelligent woman love you so much dodie


Hi Dodie! Truly, thank you for this. When I was a freshman (Year 9?) three years ago, I was diagnosed with depression and depersonalization/derealization. I have loved your art for years, so learning that you also live with these things was so relieving to me - I had never heard of anyone else going through what I go through. I am so proud of all that you have done since I first started watching your videos six years ago. So excited for this next project! Take care of yourself! 💛


Dear dodie,
I wanted to thank you so much for being a beacon of hope and inspiration for me for the last five years. I recently finished nursing school and I have been studying to take the nursing license exam (NCLEX). I've been struggling with both a lack of support and encouragement, but also a lot of self-doubt about whether or not I can be a great nurse.
But your music, the experiences you share, and the emotional spectrum that you reveal to us has always given me hope, lifted my spirits, and reminded me of just how important of a gift the empathy I have for others is. I found out I was an empath (or Highly Sensitive Person) in college and I learned how to balance caring for myself with the unique gift that I have. I hope that my empathy helps when I enter into the world of nursing.
The love, kindness, and hope that you share with us is EXTREMELY appreciated. I truly hope that I can to meet you someday so that I can give you a huge hug (with your permission of course) and thank you so much for just being who you are. I think the world is very blessed to have you in it.
We're all gifts to this world, we all bring something to it that makes it a better place to be. Your outlook on life, the love your share, the music you make, the unbelievably gorgeous person you are, both inside and out, and the smiles and tears that we've shared in with you truly make you remarkable dodie. Thank you, for just being you, and know that even though I only scratch the surface of who you are (one can only garner so much about a person through online videos), know that I think you're remarakbly special, a true beacon of light, and a phenomenal person through and through. You really make me believe that angels exist!
We're always cheering you on dodie - thank you for doing the same for us! So much hype for the album coming out this week!
With love, Andrew :)
P.S. Everyone else who reads this, know that you are awesome too! Keep striving to be the best you can be and have a wonderful day! :)


this was so comforting and pleasant to watch. i'm a fan that is very close in age to you (i'm 24) and i've been watching you since i was 17 and i'm so happy that i have been and will continue to be on this journey with you ❤


i usually dont comment but i will to say, you are welcome and you are fantastic. keep doing you <3


i turned 20 today.. i’m feelin’ A Lot Of Things but this video was wonderful. it hit a lot of the things i’m Feelin’ and Thinkin’ abt. so Thank You dodie. thank u for a wonderful gift.. i hope you’re doing well and i can’t wait to see u tomorrow :’)


I am so fucking excited oh my god dodie is about to save this absolute steaming pile of shit that’s been 2020 and lowkey cure my seasonal affective


Don’t know why but I really needed the bit about life being long, thank you


I'm so glad I'm not the only one who sings "final countdown" every time you say something with the same syllables. In fact, I was doing it in my brain before you did it in real life and it just brought me joy.


I first saw you in a video where you revealed you hid 'Arms Unfolding' in pieces in a score of other videos and then stitched them together. I think it was on reddit, maybe. You're an amazing content creator, and a beacon of hope for all your fans.


ive been watching you for over six years and i have met you and saw you like and those where the happiest memories of my life and i just want to say thankyou for everything.


the way that i feel so disconnected right now and then you posted and gave us strength. thank YOU dodie. you give me so much hope


I’ve been a fan since you moved in with Evan you’ve inspired me so much


I’ve said this once before to you on Twitter and you responded(!)  But I said, you and your songs give my pain meaning and joy. And though I’ve never met you, and I’ve only seen you perform live once- you’re the friend I’ve always wanted and needed and I love you so much dodes. And I’m so overjoyed at all your hard-work and progress and the way you’re so humble and vulnerable to your fans. 💕


Thank u mother dodie (I say this as someone a few years older than u but I think u get the vibe lol). This set of videos have been a true point of joy in each of my days. It's nice to sit and listen to someone work through their own intricate view of the world, and moving through the complexities and uncertainty and (often) scariness of it all. You are, just wonderful 💛


I’ve been here for five years. It’s weird because I found you when you were already pretty popular (your most recent song was ‘down’) and I always felt late to the party, like everyone else watching had been there longer. But now the length of time I’ve been subscribed is the example you gave on the long end of the spectrum 😂 There are people who just found you yesterday and people who drifted away long ago. Guess I’m not late anymore. Anyway, thank YOU. It’s been fun going through my early twenties with you. We’re both such different people now than we were back then, and yet here we still are. Funny how that works.


I'm 25 years old and have been subscribed for a very long time. It's weird to think how much has changed over the years. Thank you for this opportunity to think back.


I(21) got into your videos about 3 years ago. Or longer.. idk i think at the time you were living with evan idk. But i fell out of it for a long time. I rediscovered you only this week and i have found your videos so calming and anxiety relieving which i need rn. I just started uni and im doubting myself a lot but i just need to push trough.


It's coming up on a year that I've been here and I'm beyond glad that I did. Musically, you have become a true inspiration and I've discovered so many other artists through your content as well. Beyond that though there's this weird sense of past tense FOMO that I get from watching your old videos, a sense that I wish I could've been there, I find that feeling fascinating. Nevertheless I couldn't be more excited for what's to come tommorow. 🖤🖤


been here since about 2016 i think? maybe 2017. took a year or so off to delve into other interests but thankfully have found myself back onto your channel. mental health just kinda took a dive and i'm unsure why, but your videos and you in general seem to give me a bit of ease and comfort. you truly are very special dodie and thank you for being you and allowing us to be a part of that. <3


broo you're thanking me??? i should be thanking YOU. i still remember listening to secret for the mad at 1:00 am my freshman year of high school and trying to hold on to life - i'm so glad i did. so much of you and your music means so much to me. <33333


Thank you for putting what I've been thinking about into words. Nothing is ever black and white and I think that I struggle with wrapping my head around that but it's good to hear it said by someone other than me. There's so so so much grey area and trying to put it into categories it doesn't fit into just makes everything seem a whole lot different than it really is. Idk how much sense that makes lol. Anyway, thank you for this lovely project, it's really given me something to look forward to, and I've needed it. Thank you! ✨💕


Been a fan since I was 20... now I’m 27. Met you once at a Jacob collier gig ☺ Love your music and videos and yeah... never stop doing you 🤟💛


i'm really not very good with words and i very very rarely comment on videos but its a must!  ...back in the day, i used to watch you because you were one of the very few truly relatable people on the platform and i adored your content and i felt like i had a friend of sorts in you. i was going through an extremely hard time and your videos and your music genuinely helped me, guided me and taught me so much about myself. I came to one of your shows last year and it was magical but im not online very much so havent seen much of your online presence other than your music for a while. Things have been particularly bad for the last year but this last couple of months have been particularly trying...and here you are again, posting content which makes me feel peaceful and showing me a 'friendly' face in a time of need. while this video is you saying thank you to us, i just wanted to return the thanks as well and just let you know that myself along with so many others are so unbelievable grateful for what you have brought into our lives.

lots of love!


This is the first comment I’ve left on your videos Dodie, but I’ve been watching your content since about 2013 and I still remember sending one of your covers to friends like “look at this angel!!” when I was about 15 lol. I wrote my own songs with my ukulele and have derealisation disorder too, so I felt a weird special relation to your content lol. These types of videos were always my favourite. Your video interviewing your manager was the first thing to make me think about going into artist management, and pre-covid I had just got my business degree and that’s what I was starting out in! It’s been very funny hearing your name pop up in random places, because in my head your content is still like a lovely little secret. I was running a music event pre-covid and one of your songs came up in our venue playlist lol. I’ve even met an artist who listed your songs as one of her inspirations. Im very proud of you and to see how far you’ve come and especially your personal growth- I don’t know you, but I can see how much you’ve grown. I’m 23 now and very unemployed in one of the longest lockdowns in the world, and I have no hope of any career in what I was working for years towards. I was having the hardest year of my life before we even knew what covid19 was, and then I lost my only dream too. I’ve never travelled or lived anywhere away from home but my best hope is to try to find any work I can get in a different state, to move to a new city completely alone without savings. It’s pretty scary lmao. I hadn’t watched your videos in a couple years until this week, and it’s been very comforting and nostalgic at a time when the future and my identity feel like a big empty void for the first time. I always appreciated how much love and care and nuance you put into your content. Thanks for this little series. Lots of love ❤ xx


I love you all 💙<br>This fandom is cool.


joined for a common love of la la land, stayed for the knitting and ethereal song covers. lovedy love xoxo


majority of the time when youtubers talk to their fans in videos i dont find it so connecting and feel like theyre just talking to a camera not to an actual human being. but dodie just feels so real. like shes my best friend and we’re sitting on her floor somewhere just chatting and knitting and it feels so genuine.


I'm so glad that you exist as one of the creators on YT that spend their time and effort sharing, but also criticising, their experience of life and it's relation through and along side the internet and this platform. My experience is quite different to yours as of now, speaking to one of your points in this video. I feel like life is going faster and faster. Luckily I'm not panicking, and I enjoy growing older. I completely agree with you in the fact that the 'boxes' we've built does not work, and that the 'online'-experience does not encompass the full experience of life and all of it's incredibly important facetts, but I believe that if you're going to spend some of that time watching youtube videos, your videos are worth spending time on. You sharing your experience has given me a broadened horizon and reason to think differently. I have no doubt that you'll find your way in all of lifes apparent meaningslessness, and that you'll find meaning worth following.


Dodie I cannot tell you how much your videos mean to me. I’ve been subscribed since 2015, you have helped me so much to accept parts of myself that I would have never loved without your art and your music. I’m thankful I get to be alive in the same time as you.


you have such a beautiful way with words that i find so incredibly charming and so elegantly simple and complex at the same time. Idk idk what im saying is that, words are nice. keep sharing them.


u always make life feel okay, thankU x x x


Dodie.      I adore you.  You’re.   Incredible.

Dodie.      I adore you.  You’re.   Incredible.


My sports season just ended and I’m genuinely not sure what’s going to get me through the winter now... I’m unbelievably happy to have content of any kind from you. You’re such a lovely person ☺


my brother died a few weeks ago and this was so comforting. i love you dodie <3


Its weird. Ive always felt like one of the newer viewers and now i realised i have been following dodie over 4 years. It hit me when she played when in the throwback show and i was like "i remember this song first being uploaded and me falling in love with it"
And so much has happened in this time and so much has changed but dodie has always stayed one of my favourite musicians and one of my favourite people on the internet. So i am grateful for that and for all the lessons ive learned and songs that ive been able to ugly cry to
Thank you dodie ♡


I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU THIS IS A GIFT<br> ONLINE COLLEGE HAS BEEN SO STRESSFUL and this has been an amazing past few weeks

I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU THIS IS A GIFT
 ONLINE COLLEGE HAS BEEN SO STRESSFUL and this has been an amazing past few weeks


Honestly, I've had to quarintine for the last week and a half because someone in my class got covid and just yesterday I was feeling so mad at the world and upset and people. I really needed to hear and be comforted by this tosay


dodie, you've helped me overcome so many things over the past 5/6 years. your music and videos have been with me every step of the way as i've grown up. i still remember the first time i heard "pas de deux" and was floored by how heart wrenching yet beautiful it was. i remember crying to "she" for hours on end because someone put my thoughts into words. i remember crying and feeling numb after the "sick of losing soulmates" music video was released. you've been the soundtrack to my life for years, and i wouldn't change a thing. you show the raw and honest version of yourself to us, and i'm so thankful for that. it makes me feel like i'm not alone. so, thank YOU dodie, for making me feel like i have a place that i can be myself. thank you for making me feel seen. thank you for making me feel safe. thank you for making me feel loved. thank you dodie <3


I don’t know why but this video made me cry a bit. Like, I’m just so proud of you?? Heck.


Dodie is slowly cementing the tone of a wisened sage and its great


I've watched you since before the first time you chopped your hair... couldn't tell you the year but it's been a while.  It's crazy how much your audience has grown and how we've all kind of grown up with you.  You've influenced us all so much but in a way that we make our own decisions of how we want to be rather than in a 'we do whatever dodie does' way if that makes sense.  Just yesterday I was writing a song and my boyfriend came in and was like "you write like dodie".  I didn't know what he meant and he said "your lyrics and the places where you put the chord changes... I don't know you just write like dodie" and honestly biggest compliment I could get.  This is a ramble but thank you for letting us grow with you all these years.


Let me just say
I love you always however much you share with us
But pls bring back snappity clap clap intros after this series LOL 😊❤


these videos are my main source of comfort


Thank you so much not only for your music but the fact that the community that you have brought up is the least toxic community i’ve ever been a part of. Never in my time of being on the internet have i been a part of a community so diverse and accepting. thank you so much for this.


DODIE!! i don't know if you'll ever see this but i've been here since maybe 2014? i was 11 then, im 17 now! its weird to think you've sort of been a constant in my life since i was a kid, and i've grown a lot since then obviously, but you've stayed. one random thing that you've done that's affected me, other than your music and your thoughts on mental health and things, is in some video you made you said to brush your tongue all the way to the back of your throat??? that was literally the first time i heard someone say that and i have remembered it pretty much every time i've brushed my teeth since. so because of you, dodie, i choke myself with my toothbrush every morning. if you somehow did read this, thank you, and good luck.


i'm not an easy crier but i just shed many a tear. same happened when i went to your show in terminal 5 last fall in nyc. thank you!!! from the bottom of my heart - for seeing us.


dude,,, ur so pretty inside n out <3 i agree with and love every single word u speak, im so grateful to have discovered u, ur so wise n awesome, hehe luv u


I think maybe we are soul sisters dodie<br>. I'm so proud of your growth. take care. really good intentional care

I think maybe we are soul sisters dodie
. I'm so proud of your growth. take care. really good intentional care


I've liked you since little mosquito, but I've been a fan for 4 or 5 years. Thanks for being a constant in my life, so much has happened in my last 5 years. I graduated with my BFA in Graphic Design with a minor in Creative Writing. I'm currently 27, so I'm a bit older than you, but you are so wise, and I've learned more about myself through you and your videos.


i found you through a girl i’ve somehow managed to fall in love with over the course over a year, even though she’s hours away and we cant meet for a few years (since we met online). i dont know whether she loves me back in the same way i love her, but she has taught me to love myself and that other people do love me for me and i will forever have a friend in her.

i’m very glad i found you too, dodie, i’m a pretty casual viewer but your songs hit hard and so do your words. you’re grateful for us, but remember, we’re grateful for you too <3


The way you speak about things is absolutely magical please never stop talking


So painful but so beautiful... Yeah, that's life ♥


no person has ever made me feel so seen and valued and loved as you. like you said, we all have our own story and i'm so glad you're a part of mine. you've saved my life 3 times and continue to change it every single day. there are endless things i want to say to you, but no words are able to express the love and gratitude i feel for you. i’m so lucky to be a part of your beautiful community. thank you. <333


Thank you. For just. Being human. You were the only person i had when my first girlfriend died. I was a kid and i loved her desperatly.  I was so alone with my pain, until i found you. Sick of losing soulmates was the first song i heard and the song i needed to hear.
It was a flicker of light in my overwhelming and confusing greif. I can never thank you enough, even if you dont even know me. It was enough warmth to keep me from freezing over.
I will never forget the comfort you spread and i will always support you.


so grateful to be a part of the dodie community. i feel like i truly belong here, which has helped me through so much over the past few years. thanks for fostering this lovely community of people, dodie. and to whoever is reading this, thank you for being here!


dodie, thank you for this, and for YOU. I'm an author who lives with all sorts of mental health issues in my bucket (or in my box? Or am I the box? :) ) and I appreciate you more than I can even say. Sometimes you speak (and sing, and sing) and it's like you're talking/singing/making your dear music from inside my bones. Yes, yes—empathy is everything. Kindness is everything. Compassion is everything. Yes! My goodness, I'm glad you're here. So thankful that your art is here, and your lovely light. Thank you, thank you.


I luv u dodie, i CANT wait for tomorrow!!!!


That ramp seems like it flattens out, but at 64, I have to tell you the speed seems to be approaching the speed of light. I have always gained strength and hope by watching you grow into the leading woman you have become. YOU give me hope for the future of the world and for that I THANK YOU for sharing you life with us (me).


this is exactly what i needed to hear right now


i’ve been a fan since 2015 which is crazy to think about. i wouldn’t be the same person i am today without u, you helped me realize i was bi, and you got me through a time when i felt the worst i’ve ever felt. thank you hun, i love u.


Gosh I remember playing all of Dodie's songs when I was pregnant with my son as we painted his nursery, and then used her music again to calm him when he cried. Dodie will forever be intertwined into our family. 🥰

@doddleoddle love you🥰 thanks for being you.


Can we go for coffee and talk about all of this because it would be ✨immaculate✨


Oh noo I don't want this weird patch of videos to be over. It's been such a lovely thing to watch every night. And I loved every word you spoke! These videos have been such a comfort. Which reminds me of how they were for me in my teen years. I used to hope I'd one day be surrounded by the lovely people you were surrounded with. And now I have so many beautiful people in my life. And so even tho we're all pretty isolated at the moment, it's a different kind of comfort now. So bruh, thank yoouuu.


With you on the boundaries thing. Keep being legendary babe


been here since 2014. It is been awhile, I am not a very active viewer anymore but this project brought me back. Your songs have always meant the world to me, I started watching when I was 13 you were an inspiration for me at the moment and are a big part of who I am today. Although I am not really in your fandom anymore I am glad I have a place that feels a little bit like home


The 'life is like a ramp' metaphor really got me.. As a child & teenager life seems endless, there's so much to do and so much to see. You've got loads of friends, tons of new experiences and big dreams for the future. But as you're growing older you can see the ramp flattening, you lose touch with some friends, there's less new experiences and you start to fall into habits, and big dreams might have to wait for the more urgent or realistic goals.

I'm only 25 like you, but I feel like my most imprtant and defining years are already behind me without fully realising it at the time. And I fear that what I decide to do now will shape the course of my entire life to come. I guess I'm just anxious for the future and afraid to have any major regrets ...


when you went toward the camera at the beginning i thought you were going in for a simulated hug and had a little like !!! moment. clearly its been a while since ive had human contact lol. this pandemic sucks. but your vids make things a little bit better :D


I like your analogy with the ramp and I think what happens when the ground flattens out is that you need to push yourself forward. Nothing and no one will do it for you, you're on your own. But isn't that exciting as well?


"Life is really long". I'm gonna hold onto that. It feels like I'll never have enough time to sort it all out and reach that mythical "happy". But if life is indeed long, maybe I will find it, and still have time to lose it and find it again and again. I'd like that. If I can look forward to that, I think I can live without happy for now.


I am seventy one in three weeks time. I have found that time has raced past me. I have had good times and bad times. I have had some really terrible times, but at the end of the day, they are what has made me what I am and I can`t change that. I am what I am. Tomorrow is the start of the rest of your life. Embrace it with gusto and you will be ok. I have periodically watched you with affection. Keep doing what you are doing. Good Luck. Brian Perrie


Hey dodie, could you please make a video on college if you've gone to it. I'm having a little difficulty pertaining to it and I want to go into music as well(music education at least), and I didn't know if you had any special dodie tips up your sleeve. Thank you!! <3333


girl you’re literally getting prettier with each video wtf


The amount of comments omg I love this fandom :')


I'm just a regular old 22yo dude. I was that tall guy standing in the back at one of your shows. And I enjoyed it. And I enjoy your music :) So thank you!


you can't possibly understand how much your encouragement means to me. im legit crying, i really needed to hear that. so...thank you :)


Jeez Dodie so many people say this to you, I’m sure, and so I’ll be another- you have helped me out SO much. Even just yesterday. I binge read your book in under a day and god it just .... “it all makes sense again” (secret for the mad). <3 love ya forever. Thank you so much


we're doing the BARE MINIMUM for you dodie, your songs have done so much for me and you sharing this tiny part of you means so much to me and to everyone who listens to you so yeah we love you and thank you and thank you to your brain even tho it may not be kind to you always i hope you're grateful that it allows you to creat such beautiful art and touch so many souls❤ have a good life hun

fuck im 17 why am I talking like im 70 lol anyway buckaroo bbydolls


I love the ramp analogy, if I may I'd like to take it further. <br>When you're younger, you're sliding down and ramp with little control but minor directional changes. When you reach adulthood/mid-twenties the ramp flattens out. Instead of the momentum of life pushing you forward, you have to start crawling, putting in some effort to keep moving. You're still moving, but progress is slow. Sometimes it's painful to keep going and sometimes people are crawling with you, sometimes you have to completely stop for a moment. But you'll start moving again at whatever pace suits you, people come and go but ultimately everyone is learning how best to move forward.

i consider you a friend, and it's strange how what you share always feels so familiar and similar to what the world looks like from my own eyes, maybe that's the reason why i feel that way. What a bittersweet thought, feeling less lonely watching the stars go by.


I don't usually comment on videos, but I could honestly listen to Dodie talk for hours. When I watch her videos they give me the same kind of warmth and happiness as autumn and Christmas. I don't know if that makes sense but it's the best way I could word it, so thankyou Dodie!


Me, watching this: oh...OH. um that actually made me almost cry


me: has anyone been a fan of dodie for five years that’s a LONG TIME <br>also me: oh wait that’s me IVE been here for five years

me: has anyone been a fan of dodie for five years that’s a LONG TIME
also me: oh wait that’s me IVE been here for five years


the most relaxing and comforting person ever she doesn't even need to talk to do that


It sounds weird, but I feel like I've grown with you in a sense. After almost five years of watching you and enjoying your music, I had the opportunity to see you perform live in 2018, and it was a life-changing moment. There are times where I'm close to you and your content, and others where I just see you from the distance. I think you're someone who I'll remember all my life, someone who's creations I can always come back to at whatever point I'm in life, someone who always welcomes me with open arms in her community, and I'm very thankful for that. I don't know you, you don't know me, but somehow you've helped me so much without me even realizing. <br>Once again, thank you! See you later, Dodie Clark :)

This video has made me glad that I woke up today. That hasn't happened for a long time...


I just came across your channel. I’m not sure how old you are or what you overcame. But your words are so wise for perceived age ( I’m assuming your 20s )

I’m 25. And I feel like there very, very few people who I come across who I look up to. I think you are one of them. You are grounded. You are real. You are aware. Thanks for that.

Xo,
Lauren

She is also 25 :") also your words are so kind.


I can't remember exactly when I got here, but I think it was shortly after the collapse of Nerdfighteria. This was also around the time I started  watching a lot of ASMR videos to cope with anxiety and an abusive household, and I think that's how I kept finding you. I can't say I've been doing very well since then. The lows have been deep and the highs have been sparse, but I've grown. This year I'm doing better. I'm making my own highs and contextualizing the lows. There's no more rot in me. And looking back I think your honesty helped me feel a little less alone through everything. So thank <b>u</b>

It felt like you were talking directly to me and my most private inner most hopes and fears.

Don't know if you read these comments, but if you do, I just wanna say thank you for getting me through some hard times :) and thank you for inspiring me to write music and make art!!!


Still trying to figure out my sexuality ay thanks for the encouraging words Dodie <3


I think your insight about the internet is a good one. I'm 40 this year, so probably on the older end of the bell curve of your fans, but it does mean that I grew up with the internet in the literal sense - I was starting to become a person with my own thoughts and interests just as the internet was starting to connect people from individual networks like AOL and Prodigy into... well, whatever we have now. Mostly Facebook and Youtube and Twitter, it sometimes feels like, but the potential is certainly far larger than that. I've never been an adult without the internet but I was a child without it and I watched it create itself. And it <b>is</b> scary. It seems pretty clear we're not ready for what we've built. But success stories like yours are on the good side of the outcomes, I think. I hope. 🙂

I’m just under a year younger than you and have been watching since I was about 19 (I think??) I remember nodding in agreement when you said you thought girls were nice but you will marry a guy and came to the realisation with your next video on the same subject (where you said you would defo marry a girl) that I was actually bi! Don’t normally comment but today’s been a vulnerable day ❤


I just love dodie and everyone in this comment section. whatever you guys are going through:remember that you are so loved! im proud of everyone!


I think I know what the letters spell out but I don’t want to say because I don’t want to spoil it!! Ahhhh I’m so excited!!


The minute you try to cram people's experiences into boxes, the box will break - I love that, it's what I believe as well! Who knows what will happen in the future 🥺


From 2014 when I thought "Christmas Time" was the funniest song ever, to 2016 when I was a freshman in high school and had never heard a song I related to as much as When, to now excitedly awaiting the album- i mean, surprise announcement (cough)... I love you and your music <3 <3 <3


after 1 minute stuff goes right into my soul...


literally crying. can't believe THIS is my first comment lol but it is what it is. i struggle a lot with this black/white vision of the life and now then u said about it too and then i meet new people along the way i realize that A LOT of people struggle the same way and we all just trying figure smth out and just... thank u for being with us on this journey and... making it easier somehow


may I have your number? I wanna start a new religion and I need a goddess 🌈 and thank you.. this video is what I needed. you've changed my life in so many ways, dodie. you literally saved me. thank you.


bro bro bro if these humming clips are from new songs, i'm gonna <b>lose my mind</b> because holy crap that's beautiful

bro bro bro if these humming clips are from new songs, i'm gonna *lose my mind* because holy crap that's beautiful


Im old. Enjoy your vids. Your music. Thank you. Love mun.


I think I figured it out!! I won't spoil it ofc but YAY!! I'm so excited!


Thank you for making a space in the world for us to show radical kindness toward one another.
You're an absolute goofball in the best possible way and a hero for all of us goofballs who want to be more proud of who we are.
You were not born a queen, but you are one we have chosen, and none could be more worthy.
So once again, thank you for all you have done, what you are presently doing, and will do in the future.
I think I speak for all of us when I say that we are all incredibly grateful.


Dodie, I know you probably get so so many messages from teenagers like me, but your music is so insanely meaningful to me. I feel so lucky to have found it, and to have connected with it, to have pictures of you on my bedroom wall, to have had Secret For The Mad save my life on one dark day in 2018. I’ve been following you since the You EP and now I’m 17, still in love with your music, old and new, and truly you only get more and more talented and artistically elevated as time goes on. Just know that no matter what, even if for some unknown reason, you lost all your other fans, you will always have one fan in me. I will always love what your music has done for me and  I’m so excited for your future and how bright it looks. Love you :,)


❤ you bring such light. I am struggling scarily right now and you are such a sweet soul and you help

Aliza Mattrazzo I will, I really wish I could help more.

@raiiven thank you so much, please send some positive vibes my way

Aliza Mattrazzo Hi, I know I’m just a random stranger on the internet, but genuinely I hope it gets better for you. <br>Keep going - like dodie said, you will be okay. <3

thank you dodie


This is very self centred but the fact that the last letter was R made me really happy!!😂😍


long paragraph time lol but here's my story. i remember sitting on my bed with my friend back in 2016/17 as we did whatever while she played music on her laptop. then your music came on. i think it was 'in the middle' im pretty sure, but whatever it was i just felt something click. i asked her who this song was by and she said "oh this is dodie', and the rest was history. im so so grateful that i had you with me through one of the toughest times of my life so far, having to move away from my home. i still have that anxiety in the back of my head everyday saying "don't get too comfortable, you'll have to leave again either way", but your music has kinda been a therapy in a way for me. to soothe that little brain demon, to remind me that im not alone. i remember when reading your book i cried at multiple points, especially the "dear best friends" bit and "little room", and it will still be one of my favorite books for probably the end of time. i remember back in October 11th 2019, when i saw you in La in concert for the first time. one of the most magical days of my life, i still weep about it now wanting to go back to another concert of yours. even though i didn't know anyone there i still felt so at home. i remember when i watched la la land for the first time in the comfort of my own little room because you talked about how amazing it was, and i cant say you weren't wrong. dare i say it was even better lol. i remember being so upset with how i look, with all my acne and body rolls and face pudge, etc. and you saying that you felt the same way brings so much relief. i remember how i figured out that i was bi, because apparently not all girls wanna date other girls?? still dont understand tbh.  even though i am still young, i feel like i've lost so much. my child self, my dog, whatever version of my family i had before, my childhood home, my old online best friend, and my naïve and innocent outlook that kept me safe from being so hurt by all of these things. but the things that you've done that idk if you even fully realize you have have helped me so so much. i don't want to toss that burden on your shoulders that you're responsible for my happiness and well being, but im glad that with you just sharing that 1% has helped in greater ways imaginable. i still remember that day, when your music came on for the first time. i really don't know what is was, i cant even fully remember the feeling exactly anymore, i just know that something felt right. maybe it was some guardian angel trying to guide me to things that would keep me safe even with all the hurt i was unaware of coming my way. idk if ill even fully deduce what it was, but i know that im ever so grateful that i asked my friend who the song was by. it seems i can only make big life decisions when i don't know that its going to be a big impact.  <br>if you read through this all, wow, im shocked. but seriously. i don't know where i would be if i didn't find you and your music. its been such a big chunk in my life idk who i would be fangirling over lol. just, thank you. that's all i really have to say. thank you for doing more than you might've thought you did. thank you for just sharing that 1% and letting us all know that we aren't alone.

if i could reach through this computer screen and give you a hug dodie i would. currently struggling with where i'm at right now in life as a lost 18yr old, and those short 4 minutes made me cry. i've been watching for years & years now, yet every single time i come back to your channel to watch a video its like a comforting hug from an old friend. thank you for creating a safe space to always come home to, i love you and appreciate the kind uplifting words in this video<3


today is my 16th birthday and i am a little sad that my childhood is pretty much forever gone but this made me feel better

there's always more fun, right ?


I got to know you by 2016 with awkward duet and i was like "haaa that's a cute song" but then i realised i was singing it every effin day, so i got into deeper dodie drugs and as far as i noticed i was banging (or sobbin) to almost every song of yours. Also, THANK U, i totally get you sharing 1% of your life online, i can only imagine the internet pressure, u asked in the first video if we accept your 1% and abso fuckin lutely, you're doing great how you doing it and i just can't wait for the album... I mean, album? What?


I know that these letters spell out something probs a song title but I got too much homework  to go back and try to put it all together but regardless I am excited for what ever it is I’ve missed you Dodie


My life has barely begun and it seems I’ve experience so much trauma and mental illness that keeps piling up and making each worse, but life goes on and I’m slowly learning I went through the worst parts sooner than most but that just leaves me with early life lessons and more time to enjoy the life I have ahead of me. Gratitude and acceptance is key.


Well Well Well ... I follow you since... 5 years now OMG we were two little baby :')
And now I'm finishing a cover of 6/10, during 3 years I work on this project because this song is such a thing, like, yeah incredible really.

All your songs touch me, like no one else, you're so talented artist, really, keep following your dreams, we will follow you and be there for you ! ♥
Lot of love from France :*


Thank you for posting earlier 🥺 I was having to watch the next mornings hehe


I notice that you have a lot of very young followers... I'm 29 next month and found you like 10 years ago, when I was older than you (obviously lol), and felt somehow very connected to you. I have seen you going through places in life or ways of thinking that I had been in years before and rooted for you to get through them and realize it only goes forward. You are kind of like a little sister? that is a very weird thing to say but you get it.<br>It is very cool to me to see you as a grown up and see how you influence younger generations (you have also influenced me, obviously! what a loss it would be if we coudn't learn from younger people!!) and I want to celebrate everyone here for sliding through the best we can ♥

Hi Dodie. I'm from Moscow, Russia and will be turning 33 in a couple of days. I know you see me. And I love seeing you. I discovered you when the Human EP came out and was stopped dead in the tracks by some of the lyrics, I especially remember the opening line "I was told this is where I would start loving myself" — I though OMG this girl's mind is brilliant and I will have to find out who she is and talk about her in my classes. (I teach songwriting). Because this is the power of great songs and lyrics in particular — they hit you the very first time whilst you're listening to them.Thank you for your talent and documenting your journey. You are a gem and a gift to our planet.


Been here since around 2015  &  I’m happily here to stay 🥳🤍


A 30 years old mom of two here 🙋🏽♀ a big fan since 2016 😆


<b>before we continue - thank u
, dodie!</b> Happy New Year!!! LOL

*before we continue - thank u
, dodie!* Happy New Year!!! LOL


I know you probably will never read this, but your videos and your music and all the things you've done that I've been a part of has made such a big difference in my life. Over the years, you've helped me through countless dark times, breakups, pain... and empowered my happiness, joy, and love when things are going well. I'm usually quiet and I'm sure I'll get lost in the crowd even now that I'm speaking out, but if this somehow reaches you through the pool of a thousand comments, then thank you. Thank you so much for being a light for me in my life, and dragging me out of my most desperate times still intact. Broken, but alive, because of your strength. You're doing amazing things and I'll be rooting for you 100% of the way. Good luck out there Doodsie. Sending lots of love and whatever else it is you need right back to you <3


I’m going to sound crazy lol but I used to be obsessed with your videos when I was 12 haha. I have memories of listening to your songs while going to school, then I stopped watching for a while. 2 weeks ago I came back to this channel, quarantine boredom perhaps, but I’m so glad I did. This year I started A levels and everything is so much more complicated and I feel like I have to grow up really fast, but I don’t really want to. I feel like everyday is a challenge. Regardless, I’m so glad to be back, and these patch of videos were honestly everything I needed. I know you might never read this but honestly, thank you so much. I’ve had so many great moments on this channel (and the main!!), from my face to little dodie facts to you and now this! I’ve grown up watching your videos and listening to your songs, what I’m trying to say is thank you for being you!!

also I’m sorry if I sound cringy I’m just super emotional!!!!!

Maha Shahid Hi hi, just wanted to say good luck with your A-levels and keep going! :D Like dodie said, you will be okay!

I think all adults are children at heart really - you don’t have to grow up. Or well, you will, but growing up doesn’t mean having to give up your happiness. Growing up isn’t bad, it’s just change and I genuinely believe it can be good change.

Wish you all the best. <3


Been so touch-starved cause of corona so when she leaned in I thought I was getting a hug agfaiusuda


Hello, I'm 28 years old and just had a little cry and it was very nice, thank you


❤ send love back to everyone! Till tomorrow :-)


This was so special. This whole community is special, the way we love and create and somehow feel connected is so wonderful and genuine, there's really nothing like it. Thank you for allowing us on this journey with you, dodie. I have loved growing with you for the past few years, you have been such an important part of my development and I'm very thankful for that. And thank you for the message! It is easy to forget that life is long, I think I needed a reminder.

Damn that ramp metaphor literally summed up a feeling I’ve been trying to put my finger on for months


I turned 30 last month and I feel seen ❤
