Hi Dodie can u please do cover of "I wanna be your girlfriend" by girl in red lysm♥ oh and I love your glasses u look cute with them♥

I cpuldnt have found this vid at a better time my entire past feels blank

My BPD under control but I wrote out a lot about my past and now it feels like it's on those pages not in my brain

I am sure things might trigger it and it might be better this way

I also might he trying not to think at all because I tend to guilt trip mostly think I am not good enough

I feel like I let to many people down when things arent my fault and what happened vidcon 2019 that mutual decision happened I wish it could have been talked out at vidcon

Some peoples are cowards though and made a video letting me know they are so I prepared

I am okay and i am still here so from what I understand matters

I wish you still vlogged while on tour (also I hope you have safe travels!)

Marry me dodie! I love your songs. If you love my comment I will die!

“You opened a door that a kid shouldn’t walk through” “I’ll carry your burden till the day that you die”
nods thank you, Dodie.

“You opened a door that a kid shouldn’t walk through” “I’ll carry your burden till the day that you die”
*nods* thank you, Dodie.

@ZOD4 she has stated before that things like her instagram (and presumably her youtube) aren't as filtered as people would expect. she doesn't feel comfortable with things like photoshop so its likely that she doesn't like to edit out when she stumbles her words. i get what you saying but i think its more so to do with the fact that she enjoys keeping her flaws instead of editing them out.

Hey Dodie if you see this I love your songs! I heard you are going on tour sadly they are all too far away for me. If there is another tour could you consider coming to Boston? It’s funny you’d think more people would come but I feel like everyone still is busy moving to LA honestly I thought the trend would die down guess I didn’t get the memo. Whenever I go to the airport I always see business men and women who are flying with a brand or something lol it’s so classic.

dodie help I dont understand the tutorial... I failed at the first part

As someone who grew up (and is still living) with really emotionally abusive parents, Guiltless really hit close to home. Especially when you stared talking about how complex and hard it was to write about. I'm a writer and I've considered writing about it but it's just... so impossible. And so so messy.  I don't mean to assume your story but it hit really close to home. Thank you.❤

Your song really speaks to me. Which sounds so fucking cringey. I have a close family member who has recently did something to me and your lyrics capture it so perfectly. It’s like you ripped out my emotions, examined them and splashed them on paper. It really gets me in my feeling and it makes me want to forgive. Long story short your song is fire.♥♥♥

The lyrics got stuck in my head! i spent most of biology class trying not to sign out loud just like, whISPERING: nananaaaaa you belieeeeeeeeve you're guiltlesss uhhhh :D

doddlevloggle

The classical piece is called “bolero”

I know exactly how this song feels. Thank you. 💜🖤

What was that long classical music piece you mentioned? You said you'd state it but never did lol. I love you Dodie!

@Abeer Arif I genuinely appreciate your concern there. It's so easy to just fight with people you disagree with online, but you checked if I was having a bad day, which was nice, thank you.

I actually wasn't having a bad day though, no (well, not any worse than usual lol), I stand by what I said. I don't necessarily think she definitely did this typo on purpose, my comment was indicative of my wider opinion of her "brand" in general.

I've been watching this channel for years and I think it probably did start with a slightly awkward and shy young woman who loved music and wanted to share and connect with like minded people. And it's not a bad thing that that grew into being a more mainstream musical artist. But somewhere along the way, likely when she got her first manager or agent or whatever, I think she was made aware that her awkwardness, shyness, cute little voice and eyebrow movements, "editing style" with the wee words that you have to pause to read, and I might even go as far as to say mental illness (though I hope not), was incredibly trendy and clickable. And I think she continues to play all of that and more up for popularity with young people who identify with those characteristics.

The amount of little mistakes such as tripping over words that are left in her videos is just not natural and I bet that if you spoke to her in a setting in which she was comfortable, she wouldn't trip up so much. If they're mistakes, you largely edit those out, maybe leave a couple in because they were particularly funny. And we know she's not afraid of editing, given how many quirky jump cuts are put in. Not to mention when she edits in her harmonising over herself in the middle of sentences.

I'm a big fan of authenticity and with every video that she puts out, I struggle more and more to find any.

This isn't just me bashing her or trolling. Like I said, I've been watching for years, I'm also mentally ill and in the LGBTQ+ community, so it's not about that at all, and there are still things I admire about her and I love her little sister Hedy too, those old Pop Party mashups were the best. I just have criticisms. Or maybe I'm just a cynical old fart, that's always a possibility too. :)

@ZOD4 okay this level of cynicism is amazingly absurd. were you having a bad day?

hi dodie! i think you're cute and awesome and you can do anything you set your mind to! i wish i could be as adorable as youuuuuuuuuu x

*you opened a door that a kitchen would walk through

Still laughing from the title on my sex tape. Btw on the way out of your Glasgow concert we where wall singing I want it that way but the b99 version

doddlevloggle you’re all good! I’ve been there and done that too haha. I’m a typo queen. Thanks for this vid. I was very excited to watch it!!

Not counting several lower case "i'm"... tut tut...

i’m going to see you in my moms birthday in chicago i’m the most excited

hey at 5:10 the song u were talking about is Bolero. just fyi, but you've probably already figured that out. :D

omg I listened to this on the radio & when the round section came in I was so shook & loved it much❤❤❤ also my  mum loves guiltless lol

Your my idol, I have no confidence in myself and I feel that even my best friend hates me. Any tips?

no useD getting angry at the way that you're wired

Thank you for this song. I have had trouble forgiving someone in my family because of something that happened (nothing traumatic but still bad) and I would have really violent dreams about them (which is not like me) and I never knew why..I think It was because I had unresolved issues with them and never addressed it...I have never found a song that addressed my situation so clearly Thank you dodie❤❤

Getting your own lyrics wrong is a purely dodie thing 💛


My favorite line is “You opened a door that a kid shouldn’t walk through” just because those words have such a vague yet specific meaning depending on the person.

Me too ugh it's so personable and ahhhhhhhhhh

Maddie Kate I completely agree!! so cleverly written :)


me: i have a ukelele and a guitar so i'll be able to play it no matter which one she uses!!<br>dodie: take a baritone ukelele

me: i have a ukelele and a guitar so i'll be able to play it no matter which one she uses!!
dodie: take a baritone ukelele

@Stitch Sterling Concert! I’ve been learning it for a while now and can play a few simple songs on it

@rose Concert is a good place to start! Honestly I've always stuck to tenor and tenor, concert and soprano sound relatively the same. Baritone has a deeper sound and different strings apart from a uke! Of course three months later I'm curious what you chose?

Hey, I’m thinking about learning ukulele. What type should I buy? I was thinking about buying a concert one but would a different one be better?

@katy bullerman you're a godsend thank you.

Ingrid Rodríguez it’s the last four not the first four! dgbe

the lil thing with she did on the uke is a hammer i think btw

You can do this with the top four strings of a guitar since they are the same strings the baritone uses. Because of this the fingering and sound is the same.

her: take a baritone ukulele-
me, staring at the concert ukulele in my lap: dodie pls

her: take a baritone ukulele-
me, staring at the concert ukulele in my lap: *dodie pls*

Just use the first 4 strings of the guitar lol

:0 what a coincidence! hello!


this song reminds me a LOT of my relationship with my mom, who in turn has relationship issues with HER mom, so the line “don’t say it’s genetic” hits pretty hard lmao

i’m american but I’m sure you’ll do great on channel 4 tomorrow!! you’re going to ROCK it

it's really cool to see how lyrics that don't identify as much with my life mean the world to other people :>

ooh god that's my situation too :/ when my grandmother is visiting it's like this weird trifecta of iffy mother/daughter relationships


This song literally means so much to me. I have had issues with my father mentally abusing me and this song just embodies how I feel. I broke down in tears the first time I listened to it. I feel like this song was written for me. Thank you.

I've just discovered this song two nights ago and I had the same experience, I cried while showing my mum the music video because she understands how significant this is to me. I've never found a song that expresses my complex layered feelings in such a concise and poignant way

elizabeth kisner I feel this with a father figure in my past, and with my last relationship

me too, it's such a perfect song. perfect to explain the feelings


when i saw the lyrics "i'm not bitter, i'm just tired / no use getting angry at the way that you're wired" i literally thought dodie entered my brain cause that's EXACTLY how i was feeling wow dodie how do u do it


*dodie’s back up vocals chime in near the end of guiltless on the karaoke version*

me while singing: I feel honored to sing with the queen

**dodie’s back up vocals chime in near the end of guiltless on the karaoke version**

So when you include lines like "ignorant trauma in one afternoon" and "don't say it's genetic"<br>I don't understand how people would even need to question what it's about.

So when you include lines like "ignorant trauma in one afternoon" and "don't say it's genetic"
I don't understand how people would even need to question what it's about.

@Robin Nickell I understand wanting to make sure you get the correct meaning though. If you wanna know how I interpreted it according to me dm me on instagram @j3ntoons

@Rumer Priestly it isnt holier-than-thou, it's a really scary topic for some people (like me) to talk about directly. it isnt up to us to explain where dodie's trauma comes from because it's a very personal thing. We dont mean to be all "you wouldn't get it" but we really mean that it's a hard thing to bring up directly.

I know what this is about according to me personally. And you're right, it's not for us to ask details of someone's trauma. I dont know how else to explain "you opened a door that a kid shouldn't walk through" other than it's a really scary topic that is hard to address directly.

Sometimes the lyrics to songs are just meant to be interpreted. Dodie did mention that this was a really rough and unspoken topic for her. But I guess asking a fellow fan for their interpretation wouldn't hurt. I don't think this comment was meant to be patronizing. From what I've gathered, it  came from a place of respect for dodie, and a place of defense, rather than an attack. I guess it's just the way you perceive things. Things aren't offensive until someone takes offense.

Despite what others said, I appreciate your direct approach. Nothing wrong with getting straight to the point. :)

Sage Zahnd // I never said it was anything specific.  I was just trying to point out that through the lyricism, it's kinda easy to sort out what she's talking about, I never said I knew EXACTLY WHAT HER STORY IS.  Just that I knew exactly what she was talking about, in the terms of; Yeah, obviously it's going to mean something different to everyone.  All I meant by that is that it relates to childhood trauma.  What I've gone through isn't going to look the same to what someone else had.  Neither is this song.  I quote, "It's not being patronizing, it's just, I think this such a personal, sort of therapeutic song for someone with that sort of baggage to write."  The baggage of cHilDhOoD tRaUmA.  And all the scars that come with it.

another_sad_aesthetic I disagree though???? We don’t know what she wrote it about. I heard the first two lines and it reminded me about my trauma, but that doesn’t mean it’s about the same trauma.

Yeah, it took me hearing the first two lines
to know exactly what she was talking about,
and if someone doesn't know what she means,
then that's because they never had to endure something
like that.  It's not being patronizing, it's just, I think this such a personal,
sort of therapeutic song for someone with that sort of baggage
to write.  That it just seems like something that isn't anyone's to tell.

Because it's okay, either you get it, or you don't.

It really did come off as rude and patronizing though. I experienced my fair share of family trauma and thought this was about that -- but I was still looking for answers in the comment section bc I'm autistic and like to know that I'm getting the "correct" reading of things. I've misread things as being about problems like my own in the past when they were about something totally dissimilar and I get so frustrated at the "if you don't get it you don't need to" stuff. One person's obvious is another person's guess and one person's guess is another's question.

@OcyTaviAh Ayo! That's mad cool. Respect for admitting fault, that's not common, especially online. Coming from a fellow emotionally sensitive soul, I know it's not always easy, so mad props.

@Rumer Priestly that's fair, I got a bit dramatic

@OcyTaviAh Ay man, if you can't see how ridiculous and unreasonable it is to tell a person they're being incredibly inappropriate, berate them, and make them feel like a shit person, for asking to know more about some song lyrics (on an artist uploaded lyric video of that very song), I don't think there's much I can do here.

@Rumer Priestly that's fair, but my point still stands that you shouldn't ask people about their trauma, any aspect of it really. Some people don't really understand where the limit is and keep asking for more information, when sometimes even just saying there's been trauma in your life can be a really overwhelming experience. I just don't think it's necessary to understand or relate every part of a song to enjoy it, and paired with the fact that it's inappropriate to ask someone about their trauma or pressure them to reveal more information. You can enjoy stuff without needing to know the definitive answers to all your questions.

@OcyTaviAh I mean, apology accepted, although you've done nothing to me! I still think what you're saying comes off as pretty unkind though.

Music and lyrics are, always have been, and always will be sources of great interest, intrigue, and fascination with fans. That's why things like 'Genius', and lyric videos exist.

It's not inappropriate at all to ask about the meaning of a song, Dodie has made this public, has spoken about it in interviews, has made a video about it now. We don't know what it was specifically that was said or done when she was younger, so it's hardly as though we're delving into her deepest secrets and laying them bare.

Simply explaining that it's about something traumatic happening to her in her childhood, and the person who did it to her having no idea how badly it affected the rest of her life, is succinct, doesn't expose anything hurtful, and gives Dana her answer.

There's not really anything to be offended over here, my man. Untwist <3

@Rumer Priestly sorry about that, I should have been more direct. This song is about trauma, right there in the lyrics. It's kind of really inappropriate to ask for the details about someone's trauma, it can be really harmful especially if you're a complete stranger. Maybe, don't ask or demand to know the "hidden meanings" of things.

@OcyTaviAh that's a very patronising, holier-than-thou approach

@Dana Perez it's not for me to explain. If you don't relate to the experience, you probably won't  understand. That's fine too.


Petition to have dodie teach technical music terms

Hammer-on: "you kind've, take your finger off, and then slap it back on, and it will make a note"


I remember when I first listened to this song in my first relationship and thought “I don’t really get it but it’s catchy” then recently left my hella controlling, emotionally abusive boyfriend and have never taken refuge in a song so much. I’m so glad someone put it into words

@liv yes! Thank you, and I wish you all the best with your future relationships ☺

@Maggie O thank you! I’m proud of you as well, it’s a hard thing to do! I definitely don’t feel guilty anymore, I think both of us have moved on at this point and if he hasn’t, that’s not on me!

@liv That's so great, I'm proud of you! I'm thrilled to hear you're in a better spot and you didn't let him back in, because he's manipulative and lonely. I just hope you're not feeling guilty about it. I did with my ex, bit it's best to realize when you're ready that you deserve so much better. Remember you are amazing and strong for having cut him off!

@Maggie O thank you so much! i don’t even remember writing this comment but i’m in a much much better place now. a few months ago he mailed me a letter asking for forgiveness and telling me he “wished more than anything that he could give me a hug”. it was really weird but i texted him back and told him there was no way i could forgive him. he used my anxiety against me and ignored me literally the whole time we were together. good news is i don’t have to see him all day and from what I’ve heard he stopped talking about me, which is great

@liv I don't think you need to feel bad about having broken up with him over text. If he was manipulative, you didn't owe him a decent in-person breakup, which would have been the right thing to do in a meaningful relationship. And the fact he's still talking shit about you and guilt tripping you is not okay, and it says a lot. It sounds like there are a lot of red flags with this guy. But like I said, you don't owe him anything. I went through something similar with my ex girlfriend. Frankly, I think you need to tell him to stay the fuck away from you, and dont be gentle about it. You shouldn't treat everyone like that, and its understandable if you feel bad about doing that because you're actually a decent person. But you shouldn't take his bullshit another second. You need to make him understand you don't want him bothering you anymore. You deserve better.

the same thing happened to me! my ex was incredibly manipulative and gaslit me and would do things to me that i didn’t want to do. and so over time i fell out of love with him, honestly it never was love. i broke up with him over text, not my finest moment imo, but i thought it was fine. and yet a year later, he still talks crap about me and is waiting for my current boyfriend and i to break up. “no use getting angry at the way that you’re wired” hits pretty hard


is the briefcase you're carrying in your single photo for guiltless the emotional baggage bcs I FEEL YA I FEEL YOUR SONG

you could say it’s a...

She’s out here doing her own Genius interview


she protecc
she attacc
but most importantly

she bacc


dodie; a genius who can write an incredible song with literally two chords. thank you.


My favorite line is, “not one shred of hope so I built up my own”. My friend drew me a picture of me with that line in it and it literally made me cry. I’ve gone through a lot, and realizing I had the power to change and make myself happy is what got me through. And having someone else see that themselves just really hit hard and made me so happy.


"I'm not bitter, I'm just tired. No use getting angry at the way that you're wired" my ultimate favorite lines. The moment I heard these lines it dropped into my soul. It was almost like a trigger pulling out flashbacks and understanding after all my years. Whew, anyway. Great song dodie 💖 thank you for sharing with us


listening to this while my parents scream at eachother is REAL GREAT


Watching Dodie go from "I only know how to harmonize guys lawlz" to this musical little genius today is actually SO insanely amazing and I'm so proud of her I wanna cry. It gives me hope to learn literally anything and idk y but it does


yas myxolidian queen!! we love mode-ie clark

liana flores how did i not see you comment on this a month ago hi lili you’re the best okay thanks goodbye

mode-ie clark my inner dodie stan and theory geek is screaming


It's scary how someone else can descibe your own feelings so accurately. I relate these lyrics to my father.


aside from: i’m not bitter i’m just tired
“i could never let you know, you’d never get it”
hit the feelings i had around a very difficult, very sticky situation that never truly ended in a satisfying manner.
it gave me the catharsis i never truly got so i appreciate it dodie❤


THIS SONG WAS ON THE RADIO TODAY IM SO PROUD OF U DODIE


My favorite line is “you opened a door a kid shouldn’t walk through” really resonated with me and my own personal experiences


I thought the line was "You opened a door that I can't shut or walk through." You know, like a metaphor that kind of means "I can't reach you, but I can't get away from you."

wait thats SUCH an interesting picture omg


"the people that get it, GET IT"<br>yeah. yeah haha. my new favorite song.

"the people that get it, GET IT"
yeah. yeah haha. my new favorite song.


I’m blessed.  Dodie kissed me.
Whoops is my gay showing? Happy pride month y’all!

Love you dodie.  Love this song.  Thanks for making mind-boggling, amazing music!!


I love "Not one shred of hope so I built up my own". When someone makes everything you do seen wrong or bad and you finally escape that toxicity, you have to work so hard to un-learn it all and re-build mental pathways in terms of how you treat yourself


It’s so hard living with an abuser that you’ve had to forgive and I felt so alone in my feelings until I heard this song. I just feel so seen. Thank you Dodie ❤


“do you ever get it when there’s a dark dark pit in your life-“

i completely agree dodie.

its called my life

“do you ever get it when there’s a dark dark pit in your life-“

i completely agree dodie.

*its called my life*


I know that Dodie is like famous now but I really miss hearing her life updates and her little video vlogs but I’ll keep re-reading her books just to get that dose of Dodie

me too, i hadnt realized how long it had been since she uploaded till i was looking for a cover and saw the month breaks. it sucks but i have a feeling it's better for her n her mental health so : //


A dodie concert feels definitely like the best place to meet new best friends

they played god is a woman as dodie came on

Agreed I just went to a Conan Gray concert and now have some new great friends. So I’m hoping the Dodie concert will be the same

@Bunny Polaris they didn't even play the music! The crowd just decided to sing it at the top of their lungs

Evie - lmao they played I want it that way before the Panic! At The Disco concert. There’s something beautiful about a bunch people singing meme songs together.

Omg they're great. Most of the line had pride flags and it was great. Also in between sets people just started randomly singing weird songs like I want it that way and all star. It was brill

Someone driving past yelled at the line outside the concert and you could just hear a chorus of people wearing pride flags shout "same"/ "big mood" I've never felt more connect to people.

When I went to one of Dodie's concerts, I was wearing a badge that said 'Hufflepug' and a woman turned around and said to me, "Hey! Hufflepuff! Yass!" And I was like, "Yass!" even though I'm normally socially inept, and we were both like, "YASS!"

dude i met a friend called liv at a dodie concert it was ace

We made a circle of girls and sang songs

ITS GREAT, EVERYONE LIKES DODIE AND HAS SIMILAR SENSES OF HUMOUR

Fadzwa Gandid haha damn I needa shut up 😂

I went to one and everyone was sO NICE!! like I’m normally so bad at talking to people, but it was easy there because everyone was just like me and shared a love for dodie :)


I ALSO love the “but I DONT think I’d feel better if I opened your eyes” ❤ it’s a great line and harmonization


I started therapy this year, but had to take a break because I didn't feel in the right headspace to unpack it all. Thank you, Dodie, for writing such a beautiful song that speaks to such a familiar experience.<br>ALSO! I think Rufus Wainwright uses Bolero as well in his song Oh What a World. One of my favorites :)

I love that you included the karaoke version at the end, it lets us all hear those little details that you talk about in the video and get a better understanding for how you put this together and your creative process and all that jazz :)))


Dodie, the "ba dum" part is called a hammer on. Also thank you so much for everything you do, you are my absolute favorite artist!


I am not entirely sure if I understand Guiltless, but I relate it to my own experience.

My dad often tells at me for my stupid mistakes (I have no common sense) and we're not very close. I feel like he doesn't really know me. Also, he's really inconsiderate and cares only about himself. So I feel like we're strangers and he doesn't realize that our relationship is bad.

I think Dodie wrote it to be more complex, but I love it and it's beautiful. Dodie, you're awesome.


Thank you for everyone who worked hard producing Guiltless!!


just saying, when i heard this for the first time i broke out crying. so. no pressure. <br>i'm still a legal child at this point, so dealing with this particular part of my life has just begun, and it helps to know that. idk. it gets better? it happens to other people? anyway, thanks, big fan. <3

Honestly this song makes me feel seen, it perfectly describes the feeling. Thank you dodie for your music 🥰😭


4:52 Maurice Ravel’s Bolero, for anyone who’s wondering ☺


one of my favorite parts is “a dark politician will end up alone” because it conveys a message without explicitly stating what it means, and i love that a lot


i LOVE “but i don’t think id feel better if i opened your eyes, i’ll carry your burden till the day that you die” like sis i FELT that shit. the whole song honestly is so real and painful but so beautiful at the same time i LOVE IT


dodie: "There is a wall in my life built by you (mmm)
You opened a door that a kid shouldn't walk through,"

everyone: awww, poor thing, I wonder what this is about..

me: ahh, yes, f i n a l l y, a song to go along with my childhood
trauma.  the therapist will be pleased. :pp

(dodie is amazing, i have an idea what this song is about because it
hits, pretty close to home, but I think the song is beautiful.
i'm so grateful someone finally put this into words, she really
is an incredible writer)


guiltless hit me hard, it’s so personal and yet i can fit it perfectly into a situation i was in, and it vocalises how i feel in a way i never could 💕💕💕


i like the people going thru and sort of analyzing the lyrics and how they hold value in their life so i think ill do the same- im adopted, just to preface, and my birth mother, from what we know of her, has major depressive disorder and also had worsened post-partum-depression after having me- she ended up keeping me for two and a half years before i was put up for adoption. Its still strange to me how you could do that to your child after raising them. part of what hurts from that is that she now has two kids- anyway this is becoming sidetracked. because of my birth moms mdd, i inherited it from her. so my adoptive mom likes to blame all of whats happening with me purely on genetics (Thus the line im talking about being 'dont say its genetic') rather than the situations she puts me in that stress me or make me feel worse mentally.


This song helped me through a really hard time in my life. Thank you, Dodie. 💜


I went back and watched some of Dodie's old videos today and it's so nice to see how much more confident she is now than when she first got on youtube.


This has just... Always been a song for me that explains everything. I couldn't say it myself because it's so much detail crammed into a song and it's a whole experience that I'm so glad Dodie could put into words. And this video talking about her writing process just calms me down for some reason. It's even more special after seeing her in Vancouver a few days ago!


I love the whole song, it hits home for me because it almost exactly describes a situation I've been going through for a while. Thank you Dodie.


My favourite line is "I'm not bitter, I'm just tired, no use getting angry at the way that you're wired." It has an awesome ring to it. I want to make a drawing out of it


Hey, sweetheart! I had just switched you on, and you spoke of Sunday Brunch so turned it on and heard you talk about DPS! Well done! Proud of you!


Guiltless is exactly how i felt about my friendships growing up and now I'm so happy I've found friendships that have nothing to do with the dark pit in my brain


i love hearing you geek out about classical music and music theory :) such a beautiful song xx


"I'm not very good at instruments...I just do what I can so I can write songs"

I didn't need to be called out like this, Dodie!!


my fav part is at the end of the 2nd chorus when it’s like guiltlleeeesssssss on an F# and there’s like a C beneath it and it’s dissonantly delicioussss


This song is so accurate to what I'm going through in my life right now with a few people but especially an ex and I just... it came out RIGHT when I needed it. Thank you so much for it. It is perfection.


How am I supposed to sing the karaoke without laughing at the picture hahaha. Love you Dodie! ❤


Omg I love her. She is literally how I knew I was bisexual😍❤


All of your songs are amazing. What I love is everyone has an emotion or a story or an image fore your songs. It might be something they've gone through, something someone they know has, or something that they imagine. It's incredible and beautiful and you mean so much to so many people thank you


this song really meant a lot. i was like, “oh..so now i have an amazing song to describe EXACTLY how i feel about..things.” thanks for your music dodie 🖤


"oh ho i just kissed you" DODIE YOU ARE ADORABLE 💕 also bless u for these instrumentals i love u


“oH i just kissed u” is the most adorable thing oh my

trinityisaloser it really is but it made me smile way too much ^  ^


Also guiltless is so beautiful and so raw and honest, and to connect with the lyrics and message makes my heart hurt both in a good and bad way


I had a feeling I knew what this was about when I first heard it, you're so strong and beautiful to be able to create such wonderful music from your pain x


this song is full of emotion dodie. one of my favorites of yours. i can’t wait to hear it live in september in austin 🥰


i'm not very vocal on youtube, but just so you know: i love you, dodie! keep doing what you're doing because you're helping so, so many people (like me!) and they all care about you very, very much. :)


WE STAN A CLARINET QUEEN

(i play clarinet as well and i'm living for this representation lol)

@Space Nugget woo oboe buudies. I admit it's very uncommon

<i>another_random_reader</i>  finally someone else who plays the oboe!!! I play it too yet I’ve never really met another person who does😂

_another_random_reader_  finally someone else who plays the oboe!!! I play it too yet I’ve never really met another person who does😂

IKR IT'S AMAZING IT'S LIKE WOO THERE'S SOMEONE COOL PLAYING CLARINET YAY (I play clarinet, Saxaphone, oboe, flute, trumpet, piano, guitar, ukelele and cello--definitely a music nerd, not cool in the slightest xD my favourite to play is clarinet and I really like Saxaphone but it's heavy and I'm lazy lol)

Chloe Baker Lucky! I’m in the class of 2019 and won’t be in marching band anymore ;-; I was a drum major on top of clarinet section leader too.

I’m a cellist therefore know nothing of band, and nearly forgot clarinets exist. Now that I have remembered them I know that one of my characters needs to play it.

YES I PLAY CLARINET TOOOOO!!!

(i am also in marching band yeet)

Meeeee tooooooo! Going into my seventh year of playing ♥♥♥


Write a great song, talks about ravel's bolero, dodie is just so amazingggg


This song is so amazing and I love it! I feel like I can connect with it and I appreciate it so much! ❤❤


"The people who get it get it" <br>Yes. Yes we do.

"The people who get it get it"
Yes. Yes we do.


"And i don't think i feel better if i open your eyes
I'll carry your burden, till the day that you die"

No i'm not getting to hard on myself. I swear-
EDIT: That's my fav part i forgot tu put that


Guiltless might just be my fave song of yours


Introducing the clarinet parts makes me think of coraline. So moody but so good


This song hit hard for me. I have ptsd from trauma when I was 3. And the line “I’m not bitter, I’m just tired. No use getting angry at the way that you’re wired” just describes how I feel so brilliantly. I love you dodie.


I think “there is a wall in my life built by you” is my favourite. it really took me by surprise but it fits me perfectly.


The song is both painfully relatable and healing. It must have been healing for you to actually put these feelings thoughts questions into words. Thank you for making something so difficult to make for yourself. Also thank you because despite being painful to hear, it's healing for me as well. Just thank you for being you ❤


I think I get it, and I keep thinking about my dad when I hear this.


this song so extremely relatable to me. i had my own little interpretation when i first heard it and now i have a good cry when i hear. that’s all i need, thank you dodie. ❤


The classical piece is Bolero, by Ravel, which is actually thematically on point for this song, as it’s the same phrase that repeats over and over throughout the 15-17 minutes of the performance. It doesn’t grow or change, just has a new instrument added each time from an incredibly quiet start to a full orchestra. There’s a great RadioLab episode that talks about Ravel, Bolero, art, mental illness and dementia, for anyone interested.


This song came at the perfect time for me. Its helped me in alot of ways. I love that your music does that. I love that music can do that.


I live for that pic slowly coming closer while the song progresses


Dodie plsplsplsplsplsplspls could you do a karaoke version of you?? Ily soo much and can’t wait to hopefully see you next year x


Love this song! Have had it on repeat since it came out. You write beautiful lyrics 🙌


dodie, u r so gorgeous and i love the way u think! never stop being you, ur such a fantastic person <3 <br>just wanted u to know that :)

dodie, u r so gorgeous and i love the way u think! never stop being you, ur such a fantastic person <3
just wanted u to know that :)


this song relates to my life like no other. i'm so thankful for you & your music. you speak to my soul. xoxoxo


Ok, so I don't 'get' guiltless in the way that you designed it (curse or blessing????) but i can still relate to some parts of it, and overall it is a bop that i put on repeat and also calms me down when my anxiety is high :)

also i'm going to make fanart of karaoke dodie's face some time soon :)

It’s a blessing, be glad 😊<br>But I agree, heckin bop!

It’s a blessing, be glad 😊
But I agree, heckin bop!


I love this song. You did an amazing job! See you in the US on your tour! ❤


7:20
dodie: i'm not very good at instruments
also dodie: plays the piano, guitar, uke, cello, and clarinet


Honestly this song hit me in a deep place and i feel the lyrics so much! It will help me explain my situation so much easier. Thank you dodie. ♡


The unpredictable chord from this song that you talked about.

Was the piece it pays homage to “Bolero”?

It sounds a bit like that and I just wanna satisfy my curiosity.


This song is simultaneously so painful and cathartic, but it has helped me learn to heal after my best friend sexually assaulted me. Thank you for helping me heal and know i'm not alone.

I related to this song for a very similar reason. Every line hit home for me in this song. I hope you're doing okay


I never found a song so perfect for my situation until I found this 🖤 Dunno if we have the same meaning for it but it’s an amazing song


The first time I heard this song I was doing homework and then I just had to kind of sit there and think for a few hours bc it hit. Thank you Dodie, this made me feel seen


ooooo now I can hear the clarinet part among the instruments, I hadn't caught it before

It's such a beautiful song <3


ooooooooh this is so interesting!! really loved this one! the explanation of how to play it as well was fascinating, im not a musician but it was so nice and cool 😊


i really really love how both self aware and honest this song is! thank you thank you!


This song hit me hard after I connected it, because every. single. word. described it so perfectly. I came here to see it I was right and find it weird that everyone is intentionally not saying what it is? It makes me feel like I misinterpreted? But I don't think so.

Thanks, Dodie, I don't even know why I still bother showing her the things I make.


that new mouthpiece for your clarinet is hella good and also I really appreciate an artist using clarinet -a rare lovely thing


I love guiltless because it describes exactly what I’m going through right now and exactly how I feel in perfect words


The thing where you take your finger off and on is called a hammer on just if anyone was struggling wanted to look up videos off good techniques to help learn it, great video love you dodie 🥰❤

Literally came here to say the same, good on you


Ravel's Boléro is my favorite classical piece and has been since i was like 12years old i love it so much and i'm glad you do too!!


I love guiltless. It made me very emotional in all the ways, but helped me understand that others also have trauma.


ur song captures ‘that’ feeling so well and it’s hard to explain to people what exactly that feeling is, and it feels really nice to know that you and others know it :) when I listen to guiltless I feel like youve taken a look into my mind for the lyrics lol


The instrumental version at the end was so calming I need someone to make an hour long edit of it or something wow.


This song describes a current friendship of mine and I cried when I heard this song for the first time. I finally had an outlet to connect my feeling to. Thank you🖤


This song is so important for my coping with this type of situation. Thank you so much for creating this <3


The line that hits me hardest is “I don’t think I’ll feel better if I opened your eyes, I’ll carry your burden till the day that you die” because when I did, I didn’t and I still think about it


i heard this song when she played the demo on her concert in warsaw. i cried so hard.<br>thank you dodie for your music

thank you dodie for your music


ugh i totally “get” guiltless and relate to it on an astronomical level.. i love it


I really appreciate this song, like yes. I silently get it. Thank you thank you! You articulate it in a way I can't, you're truly an artist <3


This song put into words a lot of complicated things that I’ve felt, and I thank you for that, Dodie :D


Listening to Guiltless felt like having my own thoughts explained to me it’s one of my favorite songs of yours


I love you dodie you’ve helped me so much I wish I could meet you one day at like a tour or something!! You’re amazing thank you


Loved the music breakdown of this, and the fact that it's in mixolydian is really cool!


Aww all of your music makes me feel so at peace. I’m deathly afraid of needles but your music helps me calm down so I can give blood.


I love this!! Being shown how to play your songs is super helpful!!!


Omg. I love this song so much. I had it stuck in my head when I saw this video in my feed so that was perfect. Also I’m a fellow musician (violinist) so I LOVE the explanations of the process of writing it and how it’s in mixolydian mode (I LOVE modes they’re so eerie and cool) and just ahhh, yes. ❤❤


dodie, I completely freaking get it. Every time I hear it I end up crying at the different voices. It’s just so weird so put it in words, yknow? My fave thing about it is that it’s so subtly yours but it also belongs to all those traumatised <b>wrong word ik I’m sorry</b> people.

i love guiltless with all my heart, and i believe it shows how much dodie and her music/lyrics have been growing and maturing through the years and i can't wait to see what's in store for the future!


Just now, singing along to the karaoke part... I get it. I really do. Thank you dodie, for putting a song together that puts this in even better words than my therapy. :)


this song really hit me with what I'm going through with my family right now. said everything I've ever thought in my brain. thank you so much for putting this into a song <3


i was literally just stargazing while listening to the Moon Song and Freckles And Constellations, this interrupted it but it was hella worth it


This song resonates so deeply with me. Thanks Dodie. I hope your taking care of your mental health! Much love from your Enby friend 💖


Guiltless really hits very close to home for me so, yes, thank you for your beautiful music, love ya!


Thank you so much for this tutorial! It felt like you knew exactly what was going on in my life and in my heart when you wrote this and it really touched me. So yeah, I also understand why you had a hard time explaining it in the beginning. It seems so simple at first glance, but is really complicated!


This song structure is so simple yet so complex, especially in terms of meaning. How!? You're amazing. A literal metaphor for life.


the chorus hits me so hard, thanks for writing this, truly, it's cathartic to sing along to


Guiltless makes me cry every single time. It relates so much to my life and expresses all the things I can't put into words myself.


you're such an absolute inspiration to me. Your work helped me through a really hard break up and now even continues to help me through that same feeling of a dark place in me caused by generational issues. <br>I cannot wait to see you when you come to San Diego!

I cannot wait to see you when you come to San Diego!


I have heard Dodie talk a million times and I'm still shocked at how adorable and soft her voice is


Been watching you for so long and still your music is like therapy to me. This song reminds me of my mom and has allowed me to forgive so much that I’ve hung on to. Thank you so much Dodie. I love you!!


Wow. tysm for sharing. The first time I listening to Guiltless it hit me v hard. I wish I could come see your Nashville show 'cause it's my birthday!I saw you at a Nashville show on my birthday a few years ago and it is honestly one of my best memories!


this song fits soo perfectly with my situation with my dad thanks for putting my feelings into words (you do that with almost every song tbh)


i just sat throughout the "karaoke version" with my eyes closed<br>and I can't even describe the feelings. thanks dodie, for being awesome and sharing that with us.

4:21 "goes to itch nose" "yeets glasses across face"


My Piano teacher was giving me really hard music to play and I felt like giving up piano and cello altogether but you have made me want to continue because you’ve made music sound fun to me again! So thank you! 😌❤


A beautiful song that many people appreciate including me thanks dodie


The way you write is so amazing ! It makes me want to try


This is like one of those GENIUS videos and I am <b>here</b> for it! I saw you play Guiltless on tour and it's so beautiful to see how it has developed through production etc. I'll be sure to tune in to see your interview/ performance tomorrow!

this relates so much to the relationship me and my dad have and it’s so crazy to me that everything i feel and hurt about is perfectly summed up in a single song


The piece is Bolero by Ravel! I love that piece too! Love you Dodie ❤ I’m glad you shared this song, it was really good for me to listen to- I get it and I feel better about other people also getting it and thank you for being brave and putting this out there I needed it, bless ❤❤❤


I get it my dear. thank you dodie, I needed this 💖


I'm stuck inside a hurricane of Dodie binging, I can't stop watching her videos...She is amazing. Thank you and goodbye.


Hi, thank you for speaking about your disassociation, you’ve saved me. Thank you so much

Honestly same, if she hadn't spoken about it I would've just thought I was going crazy


this song really reminds me of a certain someone in my life and makes me cry (but in a weirdly good way like everything bad is finally leaving because yes someone gets it)


Am really interested in the [somewhat dark / mysterious] deep 'cello' sections - what instruments where used to build them into that atmosphere?


dodie not knowing/forgetting what a hammer on is is so sweet


I love this song so so much(and also unfortunately get the meaning) and I'm so excited to hear there will be a music video!


Every time time I see her remember how much she inspires me... Aghhh :')


I think the classical song is Bolero, which is one of my absolute favourites.


this song clicked with me !!! it made me think about childhood memories and it was so relieving to know that someone else could relate to how i was feeling


This song came at a time that I really really relate hard to and really helped me process through all of the conflicting emotions I was feeling at the time so, Thank you for writing this.


guiltless really hit. it was such a beautiful song, and it felt like all my feelings were in lyrics. <br>thanks for sharing it with us 💜💜

I play clarinet and I got so excited when you explained the parts for it and I love when you talk about music theory its so amazing! Love you Dodie and the song of course. 🥰


dodie, i really missed u on yt :) seeing that theres a new video just brightens up my day, im also so proud of u, u went from a girk who covers pop songs to a real, cool musician.


i get it dodie, i really do. thank you for writing it ❤


When I first heard this song it really struck me. I immediately sent it to my sisters and they felt the same thing because it was like it was written about our perspective. I don't know what you're experience was that lead to writing this but I'm sorry you experienced it. Thank you for being brave enough to talk about it through this song, it is beautifully written and means a lot to me xx


I thank you so much for this song. It means so much to me and the lyrics (as do all your songs) resonate with my life and my feelings. I love you and your music dodie...we all do.


I heard it for the first time in class and i cried silently in my corner. Thank you


Yes! The kareoke bit is exactly what I needed! I started writing over the intro when you put up the lyric vid, but now I can listen to this instead when I write! <3 <3 <3


I went to your Denver show last night, and it was absolutely amazing -- talk about a fun concert! Everyone in your group is extremely talented and the whole show sounded so great! I hope you feel better soon!


Thank you so much for this song. You kinda hinted at what it's about during the tour, and i really felt this one. I'm still not at the forgiving part of my journey, but hearing all this in a song is really nice. Also "i'm not bitter, i'm just tired" is me everyday


these emotions have never been put into words before and I am so grateful that you have managed it


Here's my thought process (that formed itself after 2 years of my own therapy sessions) :

You can forgive people for who they are because of what their life made them to be - but there's is absolutely no need to keep having them in your life as a burden or a responsibility. Or have feelings of guilt. Which I found was a particularly difficult bridge to cross for me since I'm prone to have guilt just hanging off me all the time lol.. or at least I did. Not so much anymore.

Point being - while forgiving is difficult and hurts the most, what really gets you is letting go, not having feelings of guilt or responsibility and moving on. (or coexisting peacefully) which implies best when you're dealing with parent/child situation like I did. You're a fascinating human being, ms. Clark. I can see why Jacob Collier wanted to make a song with you.


The picture at the end,
The little hum imitating of the sound you made
The “i kissed u”
Everything-
About this-
I love it lol


Yessss how good is the new clarinet mouthpiece feeling when everything works nicely 😍


My first reaction hearing this song was that you had somehow encapsulated the relationship between me and my mother. Especially the line about carrying their burden until they die. When my mother died, an emotional weight lifted off of my shoulders. I’m still carrying the effects of what she did to me, but that’s a lot lighter and easier to cope with. Therapy is also helping.


Guiltless is a really personal song for me, it sums up my feelings completely and perfectly and I just adore it, helped me get through a lot


!!!

Coool!!!

 Btw, can you do a ukulele tutorial on “you”? Your original song?

Btw SO COOL


I relate to this song so much. It moved me to tears when i first heard it. 10/10


How can someone say the words 'dark dark pit' so beautifully


I got it honestly. When I listened to Guiltless for the first time I cried because it felt like you took my situation and just molded it into a song


Dodie, I want you to know I figured it out immediately when I heard it the first time last week, as soon as you sang the second line my heart sank for you. I am so very sorry you had to go through what you did and at the age you had to. Please know it is no reflection of who you are as a person. You are indeed AMAZING!


My favorite part in the song is the “I’m not bitter I’m just tired,” because I can feel how untruthful it is and I get it


It's a really good song, thanks dodie. I'm really glad I was getting the meaning right, that's satisfying I guess is the word I'm looking for haha


Guiltless is one of if not my favorite song of yours dodie. I get it, I relate to it and I understand it. I also love how it’s kinda pop-y and upbeat especially for the topic it skits around💖


i love this song. it came out on my mom's birthday and my relationship with her is nonexistent at best and horrible awful devastating at worst. so her birthday is always hard, but this song was like a balm. thank you again dodie.


I havent watched a dodie video for like a year. Shes like, so grown up from then?? So beautiful and herself. Go dodie!! I love your music and your blooming self!! 💕


The ending of this vid is killing me. Awesome song, awesome vid Dodie!


Your music is incredible :') I LOVE music but yours is touching and speaks on such a personal level! :) Thank you for creating it! Please come to the UK


It's really interesting and informative to see part of your writing process here. I think it makes song writing more accessible for aspiring musicians, who often only see the finished product. I'm sure this will inspire many a bedroom-concerts-only artist, myself included :)


My God do I get this song. I can't stop listening to it. You've captured it perfectly and I'm so grateful that you've created this art x


If you get it, you get it. Love it :) Thanks for putting it into words! Best of luck with the tour


Every part of this freaking song hits me soooo hard. I FEEL it argggg  Gosh dodie ilysm!<br>And listening to you trying to explain it and whats behind it just reminds my brain that my personal black hole exists....

And listening to you trying to explain it and whats behind it just reminds my brain that my personal black hole exists....


My favorite line hmmm honestly there are so many lyrics in this I relate to so hard

“There is a wall in my life built by you”
I really connect with (which is amusing considering it is the first line).

The end bit where all of the lines overlap in harmony is definitely my favorite part of the song though. It’s so satisfying!!


My fav part of the song: the little downward run at "you die". I was surprised the first time I heard that; it was a nice little low bit after a consistently high chorus! :)<br>ALSO: the vocal dissonance in the chorussssssss

@ 4:45 That is my favourite part of your song too♥♥♥ Still love it! Wonderful 💕


Wow I feel this song in my soul rn. Also my life goal is to be as cute and talented as Dodie


Pretty sure I don't REALLY get Guiltless because my interpretation doesn't fit all the lines but it reminds me of me, forgiving people far to easily or not even bringing up that they hurt me because I don't feel like it's worth it even though it should be.<br>Especially "I'm not bitter, I'm just tired, no use getting angry at the way that you wired" and "and I could never let you knowWWW, you'd never get it", that lines make me feel so understood 💛

When I first heard the song I was like damn.,.,.,., did I write this.,.,.,. ............ It's verbatim stuff I've written downin my journal in a frenzy of anxiety and angst lolll yeah I get you fam 😔🤘


Hey Dodie. I love how you said those who get it in secret get it... I do. There’s a situation that’s going on that’s been building on my brain, and this song just brought it all down. I love it and I get it, and right now I’m using this song to help me find peace with it 🙃


I understood it dodie and I appreciate it so much. I've also just recently forgiven someone who put me in a black hole and I wrote a diary/book about the whole relationship with this person just to express my emotions about it.

Thank you for everything, dodie. Your music helps us in so many ways.


I WAS LITERALLY LOOKING FOR A TUTORIAL TODAY OMG THANK YOU DODIE BEST BIRTHDAY PRESENT EVER


DODIE!!! I neeeed to know what baritone ukulele you are playing. Because it’s BEAUTIFUL.


I love everything about you Dodie. Please stay authentic, cheeky, and real. Hoping I can see you in September when you're in Chicago. Love you!❤


It's a hard thing to experience at any age let alone as a child. My heart is with you Dodie.


hi, I am definitely one to 'silently get it' in terms of lyrics but learning the technical sides to it is fascinating!!<br>such a touching, relatable songgggg

hi, I am definitely one to 'silently get it' in terms of lyrics but learning the technical sides to it is fascinating!!
such a touching, relatable songgggg


how do you get prettier in every video you make


4:30 ooo yess Fleetwood Mac!!
And aww dodie your songs literally never get boring!! I could listen to them all year long and year after year after


It was a wonderful song :). Though I am a bit newer of a fan so been going through a lot of older music you made also I do hope to see you on tour at some point if I can get off work long enough to go to a concert :).


Thank you for existing and creating so much quality content for us ♥♥♥


I Love you so much! Your songs speak to my soul in a way that I cannot verbalize


I LOVE YOU AND GUILTLESS IS SO FUCKING FANTASTIC! I can’t wait to see you in September, after listening to your music for nearly four years I finally get to see my favorite artist perform 💕


As someone who's gone through her own...stuff as a kid, I really love this song and how tender it is. There's this undertone of surrendering but also I feel a sense of anger? Idk. Anyway my favorite lyrics are: "you opened a door that a kid shouldn't walk through" and "no use getting angry at the way that you're wired." Love you so much Dodie! ❣


I love how “No use getting angry at the way that she wired” sums up forgiving in one line😍


Hi Dodie! I know that you will probably never read this but I had a suggestion for a cover. I was amazed after listening to your Build me up buttercup cover and I thought what else could be sung in an entirely different genre? Still into you by Paramore but into a breakup-song-style would be so amazing with your voice! I love your videos btw!


I have so many interpretations on this song and they all fit, on one hand for me it could be like me getting angry or upset at myself and my brain, which is very accurate. Another is trying to forgive someone for something they have done to you but you still  love them anyway and don't wanna bring pain on them. Another is just staying quiet after certain events to protect people


My favourite part probably because it hit me so hard was the part that says “I’ll carry your burden till the day that you die”... just wow


The-"I'm not bitter, i'm just tired<br>No use getting angry at the way that you're wired"- part really hits me

The-"I'm not bitter, i'm just tired
No use getting angry at the way that you're wired"- part really hits me


Dodie, this came out at such a perfect time. It explained my feelings PERFECTLY about my ex and our situation. I finally blocked him yay


I absolutely lovvveeee this song <33 Are you going to be putting it on Spotify?


This song hits so close to home and I mean literally home. It really connects to how I feel sometimes with my family, especially parents. These relationships are difficult to navigate and small things can be misinterpreted to be greater than they actually are.


OH MY GOSHHHH I've missed these tutorials Dodie!!! And hearing your thoughts on therapy is cool cause I occasionally have therapy sessions and it's great that you're breaking the stigma around it! (PS, Guiltless is such a bop and I have a lot of other things I wanna say but yeah, don't wanna bug ya so 10/10 video, yeah)


AHHHH DODIE! I'm going to your show in September for my birthday and I'm SO FRICKEN EXCITED!!!!!


This is such an interesting song, and I feel it is something you can never really get but more interpret and connect to situations you have been in. (Maybe?) I feel many people can also relate to the message behined ths song though. I think it's great that you have managed to do this, and it's so powerful the way you have expressed you emotions in this way and so beautiful, I feel so powerful while listening to this song, even though it a song about struggling. If that makes sense. I think it's just so beautiful the way you have put you emotions in this song, and created something beautiful. Thank you.


Aaaaahhh I love this smmmm!!! Also I understood the song immediately because I’ve been in that situation 😅


I love you.

The song hits hard and at the same time soothes.

Thank you <3


your song is so good that i actually came out of my room to listen to it on the radio! 🌿💕


I'm someone who "gets it." ♥♥♥ Love ya Dodes.


Myghaooodd you're so talented 😍😍 I want to sing-a-long to it


I would like to thank you because I was looking for a song that would help me in my current situation and you released this song and it’s perfect


Definitively one of the best songs this year! 👍


I watched everything like lyric vid, mv and this in that order. The mv was so cool! Totally love love it!


When I heard this song for the first time I immediately tied it to a very important person in my life. It helped me uncover repressed emotions I didn't even really remember having for this person and also helped me put my feelings into words. Managing my anger, frustration, and confusion with this person through this song really allowed me to kind of begin to forgive their actions and to not worry about why they are the way they are and just know that in the end, it doesn't really matter.


"but I don't think I'll feel better if I open your eyes
I'll carry your burden, till the day that you die..."
this one is my fav because..it is just so real oh gwad


this song is so important. such a specific experience that is not talked about often. thank you for writing this and making me feel less alone ❤


you don't owe anyone an explanation for you music/lyrics/feelings/experiences <3


dodie, you’re a genius for writing such a beautiful simple song that’s both jammable AND capable of explaining something so broad/confusing/traumatic. Thank you for such a cute video 💗 can’t wait to see your LA show in October!


DODIE I didn't get to watch you when you performed live on TV but I found a recording of it, and you did incredible. This was the video before something beautiful, not something awful or wrong. You're so amazingly talented and we all love and support you, even if you had messed up. But you didn't. And we all knew you wouldn't. And now we can come back and appreciate you instead of hassling you like you feared. Cheers. xx ❤


Omg I got to see her at Belladrum owo

You're amazing Dodie I love you!!! I loved your performance of 'She' it was gorgeous! And I can rlly relate since I'm a huge lesbian lol

Keep up what you're doing! We all love you x


to me this song is how i think about my childhood trauma and it really hit home for me and i love listening to it it’s super cathartic so thank you for that 💕


I'm excited to see you September! And thanks for sharing about this song :) I love it


I always hear one of my relationship in that song. It really makes me feel better after an inevitable fight


my favorite line is "Ignorant trauma in one afternoon" cos it just resonates and speaks how easy it is to hurt someone quickly


Imagine looking for a tutorial and finding one by the woman herself!! This is amazing :) Also titleofyoursextape LOL


I can’t believe I was waiting for Dodie to come to Utah for so long and now she finally does and I live in Brazil😭😭Dodie is so amazing!!!💗


i think guiltless is my fave song of you, it definitely hit the hardest and deepest for me


My fav dodie! Got super excited when I saw you posted! Miss your videos hope all is well


These sounds reminds me of s movie  soundtrack. Can’t quite remember now, but sounds amazing. Love the song!


Dodie, even when I feel that nobody understands what makes music good, you're always there to remind me. Songwriting, among other things, is storytelling. In everything you can I say tell that you just Get It. You are so committed to what you sing and intelligent in your delivery and explanation. Don't think this goes unnoticed <3


okokok but I seriously looooove how everyone has a different interpretation of guiltless. Like who knows what she actually wrote it about, but everyone connects to it in a different way and thats really beautiful.  Thank you dodie for this masterpiece <3

@Grace sr yeah! Like I've seen some people say it's about an abusive relationship, disassociation, depression, etc etc but yeah it's a really great song

Asher Ring Quite a lot of people do know by now by I see your point it can definitely relate to a lot of things


When you raise your vibrations and heal your bloodline, your ancestors celebrate the work you're doing.<br>Keep doing the work, Dodie. You're inspiring all of us who need to do the same 💖💖 Sat nam 💖💖

This song makes me think a lot about family relationships (especially with my grandmothers) and going from being very hurt as a kid to coming to realize as an adult that they are that way because they are coming from their own places of trauma/ mental illness.


I kept wondering why Dodie looks so familiar when I first saw her, then it just occurred to me that she looks so similar with the girl from Good Will Hunting. Love your videos Dodie! Kudos!


It's funny how you can get this song, yet be almost certain that the underlying reason so quite different. I cried when I heard this on tour because it says what I can't formulate into words. Thanks Dodie!


i find it interesting you say you add more chords in your songs just to fill it up because ive always thought your music sounds so instrumentally complex and beautiful


im so happy that this is thing, I tried to learn how to play this on my own and failed miserably


4:49 It's the bolero by Maurice Ravel!

Edit: I just noticed she already wrote it in the video. Anyway, it's a great piece of music and I love it.


For normal (concert) ukelele, I use D and C chords but the strings don't go low enough to do the strumming pattern. I hope this helps


I enjoyed this look into your creative methods. I also liked seeing you at Disney Paris with Rose & Rosie.


I understood and took guiltless  but in a way where I can't put it into words, it hit me on like a kinda spiritual level that I can't explain but I just genuinely feel


And I could never let you know<br>I relate quite strongly to this song, especially with this line as I have a habit of not wanting to tell people close to me things in fear of worrying them. Thank you for creating this song, it must've been hard for you to do. It lets us know we aren't alone in certain mindframes if that makes sense

This song is so simple and beautiful. I really enjoy all the melodies and beats and feels. I’ve been listing to it at least once a day since it came out!  I just love love love the sound of it. Simple but complex and complete.


Dodie, thank you for explaining this. Ik talking about my art is really hard, especially when its so personal or idk how to explain it, that is why i make my art, so i dont have to explain it. When i first heard it, it sorta hit me, i had my own story for it. The song related so much to how i felt and whats going on in my life. Your music has helped me through so much of my life. Thank you, i love you darling❤


I'm watching Dodie on Sunday Brunch and I kind of want to try banana and pesto now


I really relate the song to my relationships with my parents for some reason, and if it's for you anything like that at all then I very much get why it's hard to talk about publicly.


I’m very happy that she’s focusing on music but I MISS DODIE 😢


i really struggled the first few times hearing this song because it hit those parts of my brain that are vulnerable and i don't like acknowledging, but i grew to face it fully and it's beautiful and real and true and hard and i've cried and smiled a lot to it, thank you !! the lyrics are deeply relatable


This song resonates with me and my life so much and I am starting to realize that (from your song) I miss writing music and singing out my feelings! I’m going to try to learn to song and make a cover. I love it! You are a wonderful writer and I am SO happy I came across this song today because it is giving me a place to put my feelings rather than bottling them up or crying them out. After a while, the pattern gets redundant and tired and I really needed a reason to begin singing again. I can’t wait until I have the song memorized and I can put it everything I have inside into the lyrics and just get that emotion out in a way that always makes me feel better! 💗 thank you for sharing the background and for making a karaoke version of this song! You are a teacher of art coming from within and sharing it. I wish I felt less self conscious of my own songs and could share them like you do. Keep writing from within and sharing!


It’s been 2 months and I’m only just coping without your videos through your Instagram. I’m so excited for when you post new content again but take your time and post when you feel comfortable! 💗


Yo! Your self awareness, vulnerability, and creativity is super super attractive. So inspiring. Please keep sharing if it feels right. ✌


god I wish I could describe how hard this song is hitting me. it’s so hard to feel so hurt by something someone did and for them to not know how hard it you. ive been holding on to this feeling for just over a year now and man oh man this song really just hit that part of my heart that has been so closed and tired and said hi this is a thing


This quickly became one of my favorite songs of yours! It's catchy but also has a deeper meaning at the same time. Was the version you played on tour slower? I kinda remember it being softer than the final version 🤔


this song is soooooo insaneeeelyyy goooood, and by 1:43 of this video I was like yeah "I got it" it was relatable AS FUCK for me


hearing you say you don't realLY know how to play instruments, you just do what you can to write the song is so good


hi i love this song and it makes me cry sometimes but in the best way. the contradiction between your voice and the weight of the lyrics just HIT me omg. also, if you ever have time pls check watch some of my own videos that i finally got myself to do (procrastination be gone!!), your vlogs always are so fun and sweet and inspiring!! . sending love ahh byye ee


“there will be a music video coming soon” : ooooo I’m so excited<br>“it was a little painful to film” : oh no dodie you okay? <3

“there will be a music video coming soon” : ooooo I’m so excited
“it was a little painful to film” : oh no dodie you okay? <3


This song pretty much explains my relationship with my mother who was raised transphobic and now struggles to accept that I'm trans (btw thanks dodie its beautiful)


There's something about your songs and listening you talk that make me feel like dancing and spinning in the middle of the street  and it wouldn't be a problem. I see myself in you but in a good way and this don't usually happens, usually I only feel bad about myself and when I identify with someone or something it's related to something bad. So basically I'm just really thankful for your existing and for the music that you make and the way that you translate me.

Thank you ❤.


So excited to see you in concert in September in the US!!! I’m going to the Houston Texas one!!


Beautiful song ❤ best of luck on channel 4! <br>Thank you for writing such an important song!

Beautiful song ❤ best of luck on channel 4!
Thank you for writing such an important song!


the piece you’re talking about is ravel’s bolero! loved the song and love YOU so much!!!


I burst into tears, then showed my therapist.

My favorite parts are both in the first 30 seconds:
"There is a wall in my life built by you"
"Ignorant trauma in one afternoon"


i love this song so much dodie, i’ve said this about every song you’ve ever written but i think you’ve really don’t something here. my favorite line is also “but i don’t think i’d feel better if i opened your eyes” because it just reminds me to let people have their own opinions even tho i can definitely disagree with them. this song really opened a portal into memories i forgot i ever had, thank you for that (a lot of them were bad which isn’t your fault, but the nice ones made me feel very safe)


Oh man what a beautiful song. This is extremely meaningful to me in this time in my life and will probably be for the rest of my life. I’m working on forgiveness in therapy too.


Im so glad you did a lil vid about guiltless ☺ it's definitely grown on me! We love an analysis from dodie 😍


I’m still going/just beginning my self care journey and introspection journey, because the phrase “I’m not bitter, I’m just tired, no use getting angry at the way that you’re wired” feels like the excuse I kept telling myself on why they were acting like that. I guess I am still bitter lol. Hopefully I can find some peace like everyone in the comments


sending so much love your way dodie. had a ‘not sure why i’m crying’ moment when i first heard this song so i saved this vid until i had some time and just - oh my. thank you.


I wish i had a little minucious piece of talent that Dodie has omg, ughhhh she's so talented me wisheeees


This is a favourite of mine.  I bought the album and heard Guiltless for the first time.  And just had to keep hearing and singing it.  Then I bought the single so that it was selling better and it would come up twice when I did a shuffle of dodie songs….


yeah, i get the whole "it's difficult to talk about" thing. you wrote arms unfolding right when i was gonna try and patch things up with someone. then you wrote guiltless right when that relationship turned sour. i was blamed for the WHOLE thing. Love the song! I feel very connected to it.


“No use getting angry at the way that you’re wired”

It’s a beautiful song, but that single bit gets me choked up every time... there’s a lot of other meanings in this song for me, all mashed together and it’s mostly about other people, but that bit is like it’s suddenly talking TO ME and not at the people I’m upset with.

It’s so hard not to hate yourself for the way that you are, especially when it makes you think, act, feel or see things in a certain way that’s maybe not how you want it. I really love this song because for me, that one little repeated line reminds me that I shouldn’t hate myself as much as I do, for things about me that maybe aren’t really my fault.

Thank you for another awesome song Dodie!


watching this made me cry, idk why tho. I had listened to the song so many times before, but you just talking about it just made me go "ha well, fuck" And I started angry crying for a good 10 minutes. ANY W A Y: I love you and your music, please please please keep up the amazing work. but don't forget to let urself rest. Ily <3


shoutout to others with parents with sketchy upbringings that led us to experience that trauma second hand!! you are loved and seen and we will all get through together :) love this song so much!!!


I get it. Get it get it. Your song made me cry so bad, made me feel like my therapy journey is not as freekish and anomalous as I sometimes believe. Someone at the other side of the world just sang my soul. You made me feel the least alone I felt for the last year.
I got almost every line. And they won't
Probably never. It's frustrating.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.


Yay! I’m so exited! I’m going to go to the Nashville one! It’s the day before my Birthday 😊 Can’t wait to see you Dodie!!!


Karaoke bit starts at 9:35 if ya need a time stamp :) have fun ya little buns!


I love this song so much but it is just so difficult for me to listen to, it’s written so well and just hits me so hard and reminds me of every single memory and major event I’ve tried to block out. My mother was always pretty abusive and just the lines “you opened a door that a kid shouldn’t walk through” and  “ignorant trauma in one afternoon” remind me of those darkest times in my childhood that have entirely shaped my perspective and way of thinking. It hits all my emotional spots and the weakest most vulnerable parts of my mental state. I can’t imagine how difficult it must’ve been for you to write this and then talk about it in such large amounts. Thank you so much for giving us this


thank you so much for writing this song. i relate to it so hard. so hard.


these are my favorite types of videos from you :)


Guiltless is one of those songs you need to listen to two or three times to properly take in, the nuances in the lyrics that just subtly suggest are so beautiful but non direct- she BACC


I love this song so much because it perfectly describes what is so hard to describe and whenever I try to explain it to other people they think I'm crazy and I'm like "you don't get it! He's crazy! Not me!" but they just Don't Get It. It's so validating to hear it described.


i’m an aspiring songwriter and this is just so beyond interesting to me (also you’re adorable and i think i’m going to one of your shows out in california (because i’m moving there from pennsylvania which is scary bUt iTs FiNe eVeRytHiNg iS FiNe)) anyways
wonderful song wonderful person keep bein wonderful love ur great
much love from an anxious teen that loves your music 💛


hey dodie you might not read this but i got “i promise you” tattooed on me
secret for the mad is the one song i can always turn to when i feel like im unloveable
thank you for writing and singing and just existing


this song captures "that" feeling so well and honestly you kinda opened up some feelings and wounds that i'd forgotten about or didn't realise were there, but I still love this song so much, I've never heard anything as accurate. <3 Love you Dodie, thank you.


You ate so talented! Also, i have a clarinet as well!!!


Every time you release a song, it always happens to be about like, the same thing I'm working through. And I'm not one big on the idea of fate but I don't think anything you've ever written hit me as hard as Guiltless did for, reasons. It's- almost like closure but more like that silent nod across the room sort of way, you know?


Oof I get it and I don’t envy you having to explain it. But I absolutely adore it, there’s a way you capture things in your music that I’ve never heard before. I love it, thank you for making and sharing things.


"I'll carry your burden till the day that you die" is such a raw line


i can’t even pick a favourite part of the song tbh this is def one of my favourite songs of yours. i always get ‘i’m not bitter i’m just tired no use getting angry at the way that you’re wired’ stuck in my head just because it sounds so pretty and the lyrics are so cool. but i remember hearing the note you go up to in ‘i could never let you know OOH’ and i lost it i thought it sounded so pretty. this is such a good song it makes me like emotional because i feel like i can relate to it as well as it sounding awesome.


Got so excited when you said you were playing it on tour. My friend and I are making a weekend trip to go up to Portland from Texas (even though you have Texas shows lol) to go to your show!!


This song actually kills me every time I listen to it. AHH 2015 DODES!


Wait I remembered. "Ignorant trauma in one afternoon" is also one of my favorite lines. It just struck a chord in me. Like yea, that is just the sad reality of things... anyway! Love the music <3

Ya in my case my ignorant trauma is from when I dissociated

I cant remember anything from that trauma sometimes I try to but it comes up mostly blank

Or things that I already remembered from that time

So for me its literal

I dont know what exactly she was going for with that line but for me that's how I feel when I dissociate

Luckily it happened once and since then at worst semi times but those I tend to remember


I know you will have worried a tonne but I caught you on channel 4 and you did brilliant Dodie was so good to see you on the TV keep going you'll rule the world soon ;)


Btw when's the last time you've had your clarinet checked? It occasionally sounds a bit stuffy when you play and I wonder if the corks are okay or if something is leaking? Might be just the clarinet though<br>I reeeeally adore Guiltless and it hits home in so many ways. Thank you for the wonderful song and this video <3

@AnAverageAnna i was thinking about switching the reed too, maybe to a thicker one

could be she just needs to suck the spit/change the reed lol but i hear it as well. i used to think my fuzziness was just my mouthpiece but i had so many pads that needed to be replaced


this song travels through my brain and picks out what i can't articulate to the point where I'm not 100% sure that you didn't read my mind to get the lyrics. I don't know if it was written about the same things going on in my life but it really feels like we're in it together so thank you


This was so interesting to hear about! 👏👏👏


It sounds so lush. Fun edit ol’ bean, keep going x


Those syncopated claps and clicks that start in verse 2 are so cool!!!


You were soooo good on Sunday Brunch! <3


i know it’s just two chords but you know i’ll watch this till the end


the tune of "i'm not bitter, i'm just tired, no use getting angry at the way that you're wired" is so satisfying and my favorite part to sing


Does anyone else need a vocal cover of a classical piece by dodie in their life? Because I do ❤


i love when you have clarinet parts in songssssss<br>(also i understood a lot less of the musical-y terms you used than i want to cndskkas)

i love when you have clarinet parts in songssssss
(also i understood a lot less of the musical-y terms you used than i want to cndskkas)


what ukelele is that? what brand and type? I've been looking for a baritone uke for a while. if anyone has any suggestions please comment, thanks! love your stuff, keep it up Dodie <3


DODIE YOU PLAYING THE CLARINET WARMS MY LITTLE CLARINETIST HEART!!!!!!!!💖💖💖💖💖


imagine if dodie made a video about the evolution of her hairstyles bc they’re so iconic lol


I love you so much dodie and I will love you forever!!!!!  Happy pride month everyone!!!🏳🌈❤


my favorite line is “i’ll carry your burden till the day that you die.” i like this line because i’m the type of person who wants to help others, and i don’t feel like i’m doing enough if i’m not holding everybody else’s weight on my own shoulders. i’m trying to write a song about it right now but i never feel confident in my lyrics and i always trash them


This song sounds like healing. Its almost uncomfortably honest (in the best way). Your song writing always struck a chord with me but this song is so absolutely brilliant. I’m always sending you love Dodie💓


I relate to this song so hard man. It’s mostly about a friend i used to have, not my parents, but still. Ouch


Generational trauma is a big issue in my family and this song is something I didn’t know I needed to hear ❤ tytytyty for your artistry


Do you believe that things happens for a reason and everybody has their own journey of lessons where some of us will meet? I believe it has to do with what we really want and what we can do. You are very talented. I really like your voice.


i've always thought of this song as sort of a conversation (??) between me and my parents, like my parents are the ones who are guiltless y'know???? anyway yeah


This song honest has be crying everytime. Even if it isnt what I think It is my heart feels it. Beauty


I saw you on Sunday Brunch! You were amazing, my mum loves you lol


aw thank you so much for this! i lllllooooveee the song <3


YOU HAVEN’T BEEN ON CHANNEL 4 YET SO GOOD LUCK DODDLE WE KNOW YOU’RE GONNA BE GREAT


i love the whole song and i love you; also go eat something yummy, you deserve it, dear dodie!💛🌻💞


You should do a video giving tips for how to write songs! I really like to write but it’s never very good and I’m not sure what I’m missing... probably a lot tbh


Guiltless immediately struck a chord with me. Within the first two verses I really felt Dodie could see into my mind and feel the pain I’ve felt. It was surreal. I had never tried to put into words how this particular person has impacted me and Dodie has done it so eloquently


is it weird if i get “coraline” vibes from the entire song because of the harmonies???? and the instruments????


The lyrics really hit me where I can't even explain how to reach


ok I know exactly what this song is about and it means so much to me because I finally feel seen. I'm literally going to cry because I've felt so alone for so long and it's just amazing to see someone who's gone through what I'm going through talk/sing about it (even if it's just skirting around the topic), and especially since it's dodie and she is just so wonderful :')


my favorite part is (no surprise) the round at the end 😍


YES! I've been waiting for this. The chords are so mysterious and i rarely hear this chord change in popular music. The melody is so strange yes really addicting. I can't stop listening. I'd like to know what scale its in if there's a name for it but I love it!!!!!!

ITS IN MYXOLYDIAN i didn't watch to that bit how COOL

and the concept in the lyrics. i get it. it's crazy specific topic that I think about but I never THNINK about how  I think about it. Weird.


i love your videos there has literally never been a video that you have uploaded that i have disliked and i’ve been subscribed for at least 7 years but honestly i wanna say 8 and ugh just love u


Is the classical piece you're thinking of Bolero by Ravel? If so I love it too! And I see the similarity xx


Wow, I love how the word 'forgiveness' can strike so many emotions in me. I'm bitter and tired.


Also- my fav line is “I don’t think I’d feel better if I opened your eyes / I’ll carry your burden til the day that you die” mmmm. That hits deep, man


Guiltless exposed all my family issues and idk what it’s about for you but for me it perfectly expresses my situation with toxic relations and like on one hand I can’t listen to it loads because it makes me think about everything which isn’t always ideal but when I do it’s so insane how much i can relate to it.


Can you please do a cover of 'Creep' by Radiohead I think you would sound lovely ❤


So stoked to see you in Dallas! HOW CAN I MEET YOU AND COMPLIMENT YOUR BRILLIANCE, LADY?


I just wanna support her she’s so vulnerable with the people watching this video, thank you your music and words are really impacting lives


Someone make a compilation of the number times dodies said she can't explain guiltless lmao


sitting here, two years later, listening to the song, dodies explanations, reading comments and feeling really stupid bc i had always thought this song was about something else and wondered why i related to it so much when my relation seemed to have nothing to do with the actual meaning of the song - but i just realized that it makes perfect sense. what a brilliant song, amazing lyrics.


no use getting angry at the way that you’re wired<br>i spend a lot of time flipping back and forth between whether or not peoples actions are actually their fault and to what extent... see u in houston dodie :) 💕

no use getting angry at the way that you’re wired
i spend a lot of time flipping back and forth between whether or not peoples actions are actually their fault and to what extent... see u in houston dodie :) 💕


Yeah I’m definitely one of the people who silently get it. It is way too damn complex. Thank the Lord for your song, giving words and life to how I’ve been feeling and not knowing how to put them into words myself. And yet even better, a lovely tune I’ll sing forever. Love you dodie so much for everything you do and given me. ❤


eeeee dodie i watched u on sunday brunch, you were amazing!! <3


I’m seeing you in Minneapolis and I really can’t wait to hear this and She live ❤❤❤


i think this is one of the best songs you’ve written


I dont know if you'll actually read this dodie, but I've followed you for years. Whenever someone asks whose my favorite artist, it's always you that I answer with. I love all your songs. I'm always thirsty for more dodie songs. But this song. Ugh. I get it. Hard to explain like you said. But I get it.


Well that's pretty different from how I interpreted it but it makes a lot of sense.... Yeah, I still just love this song sooo much and it totally has that Fleetwood Mac vive


my favourite line is 'is it real'. I've found that sometimes you just question if anything is real and if you were looking from someone else's POV you'd be wrong, even when you know that's absolute cowpats.


is no one really gonna talk about the amazing b99 reference at 6:00 ?😂😂 also amazing song dodie, I love it so much ❤❤


I'm sure your going to do great on the morning show! thanks for the video.


i needed that how to play so much! thank you dodes!


That black hole analogy hit me in ways I didn’t know was possible 👌🏻


Coming from someone who took ap music theory this year I’d love to have dodie to teach it her way because I’m sure it’ll be easier to learn kchjdbf


Hi dodie. Thank you. I just think you need to be thanked every opportunity that I have to give you. Thank you for being there for me when I wasn’t there for myself. I constantly think about how I just want to talk to you! I just want to be your friend<3 I love you❕


ok so um I just started to listen to some of dodie’s music but I only heard her singing voice so I didn’t know she had an accent but it is so freaking adorable


Wow that tour schedule. Take care of yourself. I like that this song leaves just enough unsaid that it's relatable, helpful and identifiable to a lot of people who embrace it for slightly different reasons. Forgiveness can sometimes seem grossly counter-intuitive, but the alternative is an entire life of toxic exhaustion.


can’t wait to see you for the 3rd time at truck lovely dodie x


7:41 My new favorite thing in the world is Dodie over-explaining a hammer on.


You started talking about the black hole in our lives, and I was just kinda glad to hear a good description of how I feel. Like...that was it. That’s how I feel. There are words for that.


I am so proud having watched you reach the recognition you deserve


I relate so much to this song. You're right, if you get it, you get it. It's way too complicated but it fits my childhood perfectly. I hold a lot of anger towards this person in my life, so it was an interesting way to think of them and maybe they couldn't help it all


i love the photo for the karaoke version of guiltless!!😂🙌🏻


it makes me so sad seeing all the people talking about how they get it bc damn if we’re all ‘getting it’ in the same way, I’m so sorry so many of us have gone through it


This is so important.  Thank you for baring your soul.


I’m sad I didn’t know that Dodie performed in Vancouver in October ugh I wish I got to see her (I live in BC)


I love this clarinet representation. I play clarinet, oboe, flute, trumpet, saxaphone, piano, guitar and cello (the highest grades I am are grade five oboe, grade seven piano and grade seven clarinet--definite music nerd xD not cool in the slightest) I love songwriting and ur an inspiration to me ❤❤❤.


Dodie you were so good on channel 4 good job 🤩👏👏


Thank you for writing this and thank you.


Favourite line is definitely "But i don't think i'd feel better if i opened your eyes I'll carry your burden 'til the day that you die." Very uh how you say.. relatable.


ok not to presume ANYTHING but when i first heard this song i thought it was about a failed romantic relationship and i was like ! ok cool song. but when i saw someone else relate to it as a song more about making piece with your childhood and upbringing and it was like...................oh. ya. idk how to explain it but it gained a lot of depth immediately. anyways; its a masterpiece lol


I feel like I know what the song is about but I pray that it's not what I think it is, I cant tell you how much this song has helped me cry things out though. It's easy to put my situation into the lyrics and to relate to the lyrics. I love you so much and I'm trying so hard to be able to afford tickets to see you in DC ❤


you've got to have a lot of hate in your heart to dislike one of dodie's videos


I get it. We get it. This song is a gift. Thank you.


hey dodie what baritone ukes do you have? :) x This one is gorgeous, I got a dark wood one today from Caramel xD


Your song's lyrical theme is cute, if not philosophically stimulating; you must have been brewing on that theme for some time now~
Also your musical arrangement is spot-on; it is relaxing, yet springy and energetic.
Well done, Dodie~


I learnt the uke part (badly, my sop doesn't sound that great with it) and the clarinet part!


0:44 i was able to come to the show in new york! i know nobody cares lol but i just had a lot of fun and wanted to say it here! i know you definitely won't read this but hello dodie! you were lovely and i'm so glad i got to be there! me and my friends that were there too all bought matching t-shirts at the merch section as well. we plan to wear them together soon! we really enjoyed it, thank you so much to you and the crew for putting on such a lovely show!! :)


I bloody love Bolero by Ravel !!! And your video ❤


idk why but i relate this song to what happened to me 2 years ago. i was almost a r*pe victim and it messed me up. the specific line that made me relate this amazing song to it was “ignorant trauma in one afternoon”. thank you dodie love u💕 i love all your songs


no one:
dodie: here's how to play it on the clarinet!

god what a cute human being


I know what you mean with Bolero!! I played it in my orchestra and it was really fun


DODIE!!! Oh wonder released a new song! Can we get a cover pleeeeeaase? 😩


I have no way of thanking you other than through this comment (and going to your concert this october in AZ) for writing this song. I'm still struggling with this person, but this helps me relax, and even if they can't "forgive me" (for whatever I could have done - sarcasm) I'll find it within myself to not let their opinions and comments and beliefs of me let me down. Thank you again.


I love how Dodie's face just keeps getting larger and larger during the instrumental as if to signify some deep existential dread.


I low key think about my dad when I hear it ngl

me too man, im pretty sure thats what its about

@Nessa O'Connor in her book it talks about the goings on of her childhood and how her parents broke up so could be that

@Nessa O'Connor yeah but it doesnt sound romantic at any point and usually, its dodie, if it was she probably would have like,,a  l i n e  abt it is what I figured

great now i am too. not my favorite thing to think about tbh

I think of my parents and their lack of acceptance of my queerness due to the way they were raised in a different culture.

RainbowSocks yep look at her dad’s twitter


I’m seeing you September 25th and I’m so excited 😤I’ve been a fan since I was 10 and I’m gonna be 16 in December and I’m so freaking excited 💖💖💖


Idk bout y'all but I've been trying to deal with something that I'm not even gonna get into and this song puts how I feel into words better than me how is that even possible lmaooo


i remember during the time this song came out, i didn’t really get what i meant although i thought it was catchy. even if i knew it was talking about a traumatic experience i couldn’t really understand it as i wasn’t really good at reading things. but lately as i’ve reflected on sort-of-traumatic (?) family experiences (more like secondhand trauma tbh) that have happened to me in the past and seeing how the ‘resolvement’ of that situation lives on and presents itself in the now just stings me. thank you dodie for writing something so comforting and relatable. please keep doing what you do :]


I think guiltless may just be my favourite Dodie song because I think I relate to it and it's so beautiful and interesting hekshsd


could you make a video about songs writing and tips? you're bloody good at it


This is one song by you that I can say I completely and totally understood after the first listen. My  life dealing with my parents and how they're actions have affected me is exhausting. I love them dearly, and they have always been there for me, but the mental anguish that has gone on in my house is where I get a lot of my damage. I thank you so much for writing this and knowing I'm not alone. I sing this and the emotions consume me and I just feel like me and you are with each other talking about this and feeling it together so thank you so much, again. I love you Dodie, I will always be on your team ❤
