'I'll never be sixteen again' hits me in a weird way. I'm sixteen right now and I'm mentally ill. Two years ago I thought I would be dead by now, not even in a suicide way, but I just couldn't think past 15. I really just thought I would drop dead on my 16th birthday. But here I am. Still very much alive even though sometimes I wish I wasn't.
And it's really strange, because sixteen is seen as this big thing.
'I'll never be sixteen again' probably means for dodie that she wishes she could be sixteen again, for me it means that it feels like I'm throwing the year that's supposed to be the best one in my life away.
I'm not doing all those things people told me I would do when I am sixteen, I can barely go to school without being exhausted.
'I'll never be sixteen again'
I can't get this year back, but instead of partying and living my best life I'm too busy with surviving.
(FYI, I'm going to therapy and I'm getting help, I have friends, family, a girlfriend and cats who love me, this shit's hard, but I'm going to get better)


Dodie I loooove this, absolutely incredible, bravo!


hey random person reading through comments, you're amazing and wonderful, stay strong, remember that you're loved❤


Am I the only one who likes to listen to doddie while cleaning?


I started crying during this because
1. The instruments and vocals are so beautiful and sad.
2. It made me realise how far Dodie's come. From the girl singing a little song called Rain in her room, to releasing an album.

I'm so proud of her and I'm sure everyone else is.


the video hasnt even started yet but i can tell its beautiful


This is such a beautiful song. I cried listening to this. The lyrics are so beautifully written, the strings are well played, your piano playing and your voice leaves me speechless. I love you and your music <3


i was 11 when this came out, i remember listening to it and not fully understanding, now 5, years later, i’m going to be 17 in a week. i don’t fully understand still but years are going so fast i don’t realise, it feels like yesterday i was 11. next year i’m going to be an adult and it terrifies me, where did all those years ago?


I don't think I've ever related to anything more than this. Every time I spend time with the kids I knew in high school (like I did tonight) I get left with a feeling of being stuck wishing for the past while everyone else moves on. These lyrics sum up everything I've been thinking and the instrumentation is so beautiful and sounds like a freaking film score. I just love everything about this song and it helps ease me through crying over feeling left behind.


I cried listening to this last night. Just.... It's not even over. But I'm just not living


this was made 2 days before my birthday last year, sure i only found it now but best bday pressie ever!


Anyone else think this song sounds very Broadway esque like I want a musical written by dodie complete with select songs she wrote, this one included.


guys, I just turned 30. ITS OK. dont waste your 'youth' worrying about your age. if I"m being honest, I was thrilled to turn 30. I really love being able to support myself and feeling comfortable. In my mind, I'm still the same "me" as I was when I was 16- though, smarter and wiser.


Listened to this on the day i turned 16😊☺


I refuse to believe this is almost 2 years old oml


Right. I don't want to download it because I don't want to sob when it comes on at school, but I love the song too much to not. I also want to support dodie. Screw it. I'm downloading it


Listening to this song gives me all the Ace feels.


I swear she needs to be a Disney princess, she could write and sing her songs  😍😱😍


Well,,, It's just under a week until I'm 17 and I've spent the entire of my 16th year under various lockdowns and restrictions. I only just got to have some friends over last year before we all got locked down. I know it's certainly not the worst thing people have been through and people are dying but there's just something about having your teen years splintered by a pandemic that stops you from doing, well, everything teens are supposed to do. I've hardly processed that I'm 16 and suddenly I'm going to be one year away from being 18. The "I'll never be 16 again" really got me listening to this this time round.


This is too relatable, my mortal fear is that I don't and will never truely love someone and would value them over myself. I close myself off intentionally from the feels and then get annoyed that I don't feel anything and I've never met anyone who seems likely to change that. I only for sure love my family and...3 friends who I consider family.


"I'm sick of faking diary entries" awww that hits me hard because I used to do that and say how my day when great when in reality it had all gone wrong


You don't have any idea of how much I needed this... this makes my heart and my mind feel peaceful and happy 💕 THANK YOU


Tell me why this is hurting my soul...never be 16 again...waiting to live...waiting to love...it'll be over and I'll still be asking when....it's like she made this song just for me..


its so pleasing hearing her music with the touch of the soft violin (that's a violin, right?)

I'm not sure, but it was pleasant to listen to


For the first time in forever- I am living in the moment. Not in me as 15, but now- me as 16. I’m done wasting my life away


Can’t really relate to wanting to be 16 again but the general sentiment of the song I get


Beautiful... absolutely breath taking Dodiez I'm going through a weird time right now when it comes to how I feel about others and I'm just confused and this song puts so much into words. It's amazing and so are you and it's incredible that you created this and I hope you know what a positive effect in sure it ha shad and will have on people❤


i saw the cello and i was just like

okay im sold


I want a animation about this.

Of a girl (maybe a disney girl) or a woman whose memorys are getting her over and over, and she is not happy with her life.


ok this is the most relatable song I've ever heard


From what I understand, she started to experience mental health problems at 17, that's why sixteen is significant.


“Never caught up in the moment busy begging the past to stay”


"Id rather date an idea, something I'll never find" killed me. It's so beautiful.


is it only me but the song kindof sounds like something that would come from the musical Dear Evan Hansen??


i feel like this song describes me really well cause everyone is always saying you'll get a crush/boyfriend/girlfriend or you have to have a crush/boyfriend/girlfriend and i never have and i'm in middle school so everyone gets into a relationship immediately, but for me, there has just never been that person that i have a crush on or that i love and would love to be in a relationship with, so this really speaks to me<br>thx Dodie :)

thx Dodie :)


This song just hits me because I’m 19 and nobody ever showed any interest in dating me and I’m honestly so afraid I’ll die without ever having kissed somebody while all my friends are in relationships


0:00 for all those replay button breakers out there


when you have like 12 measures of rest lolol violin my life right there

when you have like 12 measures of rest lolol violin my life right there

I play trumpet and once had. 37 Measures of rest at one time

I play trumpet and once had. 37 Measures of rest at one time

Sym I RELATE TO THIS SO MUCH OMG THE VIOLINS IN MY ORCHESTRA CANT PLAY IN TIME, WITH THE RIGHT NOTES AND BOWING ALL AT THE SAME TIME TO SAVE THEIR LIVES

i play flute and once I had 36 measures of rest

i play flute and once I had 36 measures of rest

Emma Eaton same I'm a trombone and when ever we get music and in always a 2nd trombone and we get like 16 measures of rest and it's like notice us we are the fricken bass line.

Flutes: 64 bars rest followed by stupid fast scale spanning entire flute range...

Rest. Repeat.

@Michelle lol you proved me wrong but hey at least it's not that way on this song :3

Clarinet player... I had 235 measures of rest once...

Clarinet player... I had 235 measures of rest once...

Nikkibass I've had 32 1/2 measures of rest in a piece

Nikkibass I've had 32 1/2 measures of rest in a piece

excuse me (a cellist)  i once had 20 measures of rest, and i've seen pieces with more. the most ive seen violins rest  is like 8 measures.

i play trumpet lmao we steal all the glory

i play trumpet lmao we steal all the glory

Same, and when I do play its a couple of half notes (I play trombone)

Same, and when I do play its a couple of half notes (I play trombone)

Nikkibass in most of the pieces that I've played the trumpets are usually a lead player or at least play a good amount but my band teacher hates the trumpet just like as an instrument so on one of our pieces we had 26 measures of rest alternating from 3/4 to 4/4 time and that was only the beginning. I felt like I was on an episode of Sesame Street😂😂😭 we played 44 measures out of 202 I believe.

Story of my life being an oboe player. It's not uncommon for me to rest more than I play in a piece

Nikkibass true!! I play flute and most my songs are measures and measures of rest, and when you play no one can hear you over the louder instruments.

hard life being a violist... lmao barely noticeable and barely gets to lead the melody but i play for the sake of adding more volume and depth to my orchestra... harmony :D

Nikkibass we do sight reading every day in orchestra from a book and the violas rest for the first 8 measures in 70% of them rip

Nikkibass I'm really lucky with saxophone, in my ensemble at school I almost always get melody as Alto 1, although sometimes in songs we have only part of the melody. I'm always glad with like a four measure break, because I can catch my breath (especially after repetitive measures of crotchets and quavers, I always hate those bits, it's hard to figure out when it's suitable to take a breath!)

i play alto sax, and I had 54 measures of rest consecutively. violins are really priveleged at my school and ALWAYS get melody

Michelle well, not whole measures of rests on non classic-ish songs. like on the song 'can you feel the love tonight' from the lion king I play first violin and I have two measures of rest Luke half way through. it's just an example and I do understand your point of view, I am just adding to the convo

Anamika Mahesj Instruments like the bass & viola usually have rests because violins and cellos often have the melody. Nikkibass is wrong because violins practically never have rests.

i dont play any instruments can somebody explain this to me plz

i dont play any instruments can somebody explain this to me plz

Awen- Playing Cannon in D is the worst 😂

Awen- Playing Cannon in D is the worst 😂

Jealous! As a clarinet player I barely ever get many bars rest, around 4 spread out in a piece on average :(

i play the double bass lmao its not too uncommon for us to have 64 measures of rest

You think that's bad once I had a 40 measure rest (I play the sax tho)

Just be grateful you don't play the Double Bass ahaha

Just be grateful you don't play the Double Bass ahaha

We rarely ever have 12 bars rest? I play violin and I'm taking my Grade 7 in March... in Orchestras, even 2nd violins are more likely to have thousands of Semiquavers than they are to have 12 bars rest? Ahaha. Sometimes we only get a few beats rest in a whole piece!x

Jocelyn Choo for jazz band my percussionist friend got a piece where he literally played 8 measures, there were 200

haHA try percussion. fun fun fun fun. while we were playing lord of the rings, i had over 100 measures of rest for a few notes. but i guess the pro side is that when there arent many people, u can cover many parts and its a little better.

+Kate S. I tried piccolo I can't get the low notes!!!!

+Kate S. I tried piccolo I can't get the low notes!!!!

bro its like that being a bass in an orchestra too, in one song i have a 26 measure rest

Nikkibass try being bass clarinet. 6 times out of 10 (but really more like 9/10) I don't even have a part and have to transpose the bassoon part.

+Michaella Fairbairn. There are only 2 flutes at my school and I'm one of them for me clarinet or saxophone get the intresting part.   :(

Nikkibass flutes always get the melody wtf

Nikkibass flutes always get the melody wtf

+Ruby Tuckley same ;-; we rarely even get melody also.

+Ruby Tuckley same ;-; we rarely even get melody also.

WELL TRY PLAYING CELLO WE RARELY GET MELODY SO ITS JUST REPEATING THE SAME THING TEN MILLION TIMES.

Nikkibass I played the triangle in middle school. that was 34 measures restung, playing for two measures and then resting until the end again

@sophiieries ;-; Oh that's true. All though your part is often more interesting than the cellos

@Nina Osborne And they are often slurred so you are just playing the same note for many bars

Ruby Tuckley not to mention we always have full or half notes lol

Ruby Tuckley not to mention we always have full or half notes lol

i love how all the band/music kids just group together lmao<br>it's like a music support group

i love how all the band/music kids just group together lmao
it's like a music support group

Nikkibass You should try playing cello. That lady was lucky, her part was lovely and very interesting but normally cello parts are boring and repetitive, and full of rests

+Bowling Ally ahhh same my dude! I play tenor sax as well and i was just about to comment something similar! saxophones unite~

I once had 38 measures of rest, then 16 after I play only for about 8 measures. The joys of playing a Tenor Sax!

As a bassist and trombonist I feel like this has just been my entire life, it seems like this just effects everyone in the orchestra hahahah

Nikkibass what's worse when your play cello and you only play semibreves or when you have to play Cannon in D for school

if anything this is the most relatable for violas, the neglected sibling of the violin/cello

thé aulait from what I've experienced it's more common for flutes 😯

If you feel like you've lost far too many years of your youth to a mental illness and you constantly beat yourself up over the fact that you'll never get that time back clap your hands 👏👏


I am gonna buy a mic soon! Is that an SM7B? Can Dodie or SOMEBODY please reply <3


Whenever I listen to this song I choke up. The notes, words, and chords that make up this song are beyond beautiful. I find myself lost in the melodies and harmonies for three minutes of pure bliss. Thank you for this song. It's wonderful to see the level of production in this video and the positive progress over all the music in the last few years. As a long time subscriber, I am so proud of you! I can't wait to hear the EP. This song is impeccable already.


There are a few other songs by Dodie that personally I like the words and message better. But none of them come close to the musicality and beauty of this song in its composition and performance


no one will probably read this but anyways
this song speaks so much for me. Especially the "i think i've been telling lies/cause i've never been in love"; here's why:
i'm a lonely girl. i have no friends and no one i can trust. i dont have anyone to tell about the exciting things i do and i have no one to share stuff with
this part of the song reminds of how i always try to make myself a whole person whenever i meet someone new for them and not myself. i lie about stuff to make them like me more (which is shitty i know but im insecure asf lol)
k bye

If you need someone to talk to, you can talk to me!


I recently turned seventeen, and I’m graduating high school in a couple of months, and this made me really terrified of the future.


i've never heard a song in my life that i relate to as much as i do with this one thank you dodie ❤


I AM 16 WHY IS THIS STILL BREAKING ME AT THE PART


Dodie is the only person who's made me cry in a song


im seeing this live tomorrow and im gonna lose my shit


Who are the 98 people that disliked this? Why? Are you okay?


Ok wait no I do NOT need to be crying to this song AGAIN in the middle of the night AGAIN and yet I somehow always end up back here- why do I do this to myself 😔


Can someone please make an instrumental to this song plsss


I'M ABOUT TO FREAKING SOB THIS SONG. MY HEART. THIS SONG IS MY LIFE STORY. IM ONLY 16 I SHOULDNT EVEN HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I GOTTA GET IT TOGETHER MAN.

@jamablam did you just xD

PS: your pic is coolio


DODIEEEEEEEE NOOOOOO. These lyrics just broke my damn heart. Not only do I feel like the first 3 verses are me, but the lines "I'll never be sixteen again<br>I'm waiting to live" got me right in the feels. I just watched your videos of you saying good bye to your old home. And you talking about how sad it made you. An every time you have talked about the past and started tearing up or your voice cracked I felt it in my heart. Oh Dodie.

DODIEEEEEEEE NOOOOOO. These lyrics just broke my damn heart. Not only do I feel like the first 3 verses are me, but the lines "I'll never be sixteen again
I'm waiting to live" got me right in the feels. I just watched your videos of you saying good bye to your old home. And you talking about how sad it made you. An every time you have talked about the past and started tearing up or your voice cracked I felt it in my heart. Oh Dodie.


Dodie, I wrote my own song about how i suffer from depersonalization. It's no where near as good as your song, but it'd mean the world to me if you'd check it out!!


Dodie: "...cause I've never been in love..."
All of Dodie's exes: oUcH

Dodie: "...cause I've never been in love..."
All of Dodie's exes: *oUcH*


Just wanted to say your performance at the boncas was so perfect and omg it was just amazing


For the past couple of months a really started thinking... I'm not going to be a kid forever. Im 16 right now and i feel this. I feel like I've wasted this year of doing nothing. Im almost 17 in 6 months and it just really depresses me. In the summer of my junior year I'm going to Army Boot Camp because that's all i can see myself doing in the future. Even though my dream ever since i can remember was to be a singer and an actress. I know i have the talent. I've done singing competitions and do all sorts of theater stuff for my town. But usually artists don't go far in life. Its pretty rare. But Dodie made it. So that gives me hope. Im scared for my future. I really am. But I'm hoping for the best. I just don't want to grow up.


Where can I find piano sheet music for this?


im waiting for the year that dodie is in youtube rewind

whatisgoingonwithdodieandjontellmethanks your username is me on a level

You can't really see her in actual youtube rewind 2014 but she's in evan and luke's vlogs a lot

whatisgoingonwithdodieandjontellmethanks your username gives me life

yesss you can see her in behind the scenes too! :)

i just checked it and omg I never noticed, even tho u can't rlly see her, it's Dodie!

whatisgoingonwithdodieandjontellmethanks <- my thoughts 24/7

whatisgoingonwithdodieandjontellmethanks she was already in one..... 2014 I think


honestly jealous at how great the cellist is at shifting bc i suck at it


just turned 17 the other day. i feel like i've wasted my teen years stressing about bullshit schoolwork and never actually having any fun or doing anything exciting. i've never drank, smoked, done anything that i can vividly remember. if i suddenly became a parent i'd have no stories to tell.


This is so good that I didn't even notice the cute guy till like the 5th time I watched it


Dodie, how does every song you ever write basically describe my life... I don't even understand 😭 😭 😭


Dodie: "oOooOoo"<br>Me : " Dodie put away the onions

Dodie: "oOooOoo"
Me : " Dodie put away the onions


I only just realized how much I relate to this song........ 8 months later..


Her feet moves. It's so cute and funny 😂


gee dodie thanks a lot. I was in the shower listening to this and i banged my head on the shelf.  I was a l  s o  shaving my legs and I cut my self and im bleeding alit


Why the FUCK do I always cry at this song ESPECIALLY at 'I'll never be 16 again' WHEN I'M ACTUALLY 16


I haven’t listened to this since I was like 14 and now I’m 18 help


Anyone here after listening to the album :')


i have been a legal adult for 3.5 hours and cried twice already lmao


dodie: i think i've been telling lies <br>me: "tELLING LIES??? NO PAPA!1!1!"

dodie: i think i've been telling lies
me: "tELLING LIES??? NO PAPA!1!1!"


I identify with this song on a personal level.


I think that you should do a cover of one of Carley Allisons songs on march the 31st as a tribute


In love with this song and Im so excited for the EP


I'm sixteen now, and hearing "I'll never be sixteen again" just makes me want to curl up in a ball and cry cause I will never be able to relive this day or yesterday. I'll never get to do whatever I did today exactly again. And I want to. I want to have this day and yesterday and everyday before over again, but knowing I'll never get it back is something I can never convince myself to do. I always tell myself "remember this moment. Savor it. Enjoy it. Take it all in." And I try so hard to do that and it's useless because even if I can remember all of it I can't relive that moment anymore, and it is the most soul crushing feeling I have ever felt. It literally make my chest feel so heavy it get a little harder to breath and all I want to do is just go back. I want that last football game I went to back. I want the last marching band competition back. I want to do our field show one more time cause all that work we put into it will never be used again. I want to stay in this moment or go to last year so all my friends that are senior don't graduate cause I know how much harder my life is going to be without them. I know how much I'm going to miss them. I want to rewind time and just stay there. I don't want to move forward anymore. I just want to go backwards. I want it all back. I want my early childhood back. I'll go through all the bad and good experiences of my past again if I can just go back for a little while. But I can't. And that is the worst thing imaginable.

Sorry for any misspellings or anything like that. I was just typing as I thought.


oH WOW THIS SONG HITS ME IN THE HEART SOMEONE sEND PARAMEDICS


I'm 13, and I miss not being a teenager,  although it is great being one, I remember loving being  a little kid ;)

It's weird to think that you'll probably feel like that when you're no longer a teen


Favourite song off of the album 💕. Actually, this might be my favourite song of yours. Especially this version.

Btw... The way you sang "got to get it in my head; i'll never be sixteen again" made me cry the first time i heard it. You put in so much feeling in that single line and it somehow managed to make me cry.


OMG THIS WAS PUBLISHED ON MY BIRTHDAY!!!!


you dont understand when dodie says she has thick thighs until you see this video. Damn girl, you have been holding back on us XD


Doctor: "you have 3minutes and 24 seconds to live"
Me: watches this video

Doctor: "you have 3minutes and 24 seconds to live"
Me: *watches this video*


Dodie you're amazing..All these people in here that are 17,18,19,20 and crying over the "never be 16 part" YOU'RE STILL YOUNG ENOUGH TO DREAM AND CHASE. I believe one,the lyric just fits better than 17 or 18 again. Also I think it's a lyric from someone who's life is so overwhelming and uncomfortable because of DP/DR(I've had it 7 years now) and we just want to go back in time and be young again before things got this way. But for real, it's not that 16 was so special, it's the idea of being older and life sucking and wish you could go back. 17,18,19,20 you are still soooooo young. I wish I could back to 20. I'd change everything


holy fucking shit this was the most beautiful thing i've listened to


It is painful how much I relate to this song.


“Still be asking when...” it is so true, time flies by, and we are always wondering for more, never thinking that, maybe, we are living the dream, a dream we ask for happen and constantly chasing... But we don’t realize that, maybe, you are living a dream, now, with those persons that u love the most, on that a bit bored place, on that pretty small city. Like, I think we have always think about what I can do better, where I want to go, how I can change for better, have High Hopes and High Dreams. But, sometimes I ask so many “when”, putting my happiness where my hands doesn’t reach, and simply the time flies by and me? Still asking when.

At least that was my thinking hearing that beauuuutiful song☺ Honestly I couldnt understand the whole lyrics, but I loved the composition, it touched me a lot! and I hope i could make a little cover of it, can I???? Rsrsrs

Anyway, was wonderful! Congratulations!!!


I relate to this so much. I want to do so much with my life yet I don't know how I'm going to do it...

This song also gives me 'The last five years' vibes


Listening to this 4 min before turning 17... i'll never be 16 again


dodie and Thomas Sanders are such pure voices they both need to star in a disney film PLEASE!!!!


Oh my god I am freaking crying, this song, these lyrics, they perfectly describe my life at the moment. Convincing myself I feel differently than I actually do; falling for someone and them falling for me, only to realize I only liked my perception of them; wanting life to just end, while still mourning over the loss of the youth and years gone by...

Corine Lontoc I'm sorry, it sucks. I'm going through the exact same thing

Thank you so much Dodie, this song is exactly what I needed in my life❤❤


Teenagers in the comments: I'm scared of wasting my youth
Me, an ancient 23 year old: well fuck

Teenagers in the comments: I'm scared of wasting my youth
Me, an ancient 23 year old: *well fuck*


Why are all the songs that dodie makes are sooooooo gooooood


im about 3 weeks from my 16 birthday and im so scared!!!! i keep looking back and wishing to be years back but the time all goes so fast. i feel like im waisting my time but its not like i can stop


listening to this bc I'll turn 17 in 20 minutes<br>I'LL NEVER BE SIXTEEN AGAIN

listening to this bc I'll turn 17 in 20 minutes
I'LL NEVER BE SIXTEEN AGAIN


When you really wnat to sing this song but you've never even been 16 before.


THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING I'VE EVER HEARD

Jess OMG I literally just commented the same thing 😳 it's true though!!!!


I’m 16 and I’m already wanting to go back in time


i'm not even 16 yet why does that line always get me lmao


Oh no, this is too real for this late at night


that piano posture thooooooooo

BUT NEVERMIND THAT SHIT THIS SONG IS ACTUALLY INSANE  LIKE IM CRYING

WHY DODIE WHY

to the piano posture and to the song
lol


I'm 16 and this is kind of like a punch in the face to wake me up. And yea,  it worked.


ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME also THIS WAS FUCKING BEAUTIFUL


me and my girlfriend just broke up... I'm not even out to my parents so it feels like our relationship didn't have the chance to feel normal. I came here to listen to this with a new meaning and im wishing I could sleep forever...


just so wOW! I'm so so so excited for this EP and to see you grow even more.. you deserve this so much gurl <3


i’ll be turning 16 in a few hours.
everything is going by so fast.
15 felt like only a minute.
14 felt like seconds.
in just half an hour i’ll be 16.
how fast will 16 pass?
how much time of being 16 do i have?
how do i spend it so i won’t regret it?
i’m scared i’ll mess 16 up and regret it forever.

Don’t worry so much. Even if you mess it up, you still have many more years and chances to not mess up.


Where could I get the cello sheet music for this


Everyone falls for the sunshine disguised distracted by who they're thinking of....


I'm 16 right now but this song hits so close to I'm incapable of living in the moment.


I can't stop listening to this! It's so amazing!! Good job Dodie :) thanks for making my days better with your beautiful music


23:49 2nd of December. My final few minutes of being 16. A lot has happened this past year. And only now am I realising. I’ll never be 16 again....


I have the opposite problem in this song. My memories are painted with darker ink. I look to the future only and hate the past. Especially being 16. It's like I completely don't relate to this song, and yet I relate to it so much


i found my old comment i made 4 years ago. it wasn't anything special, just "how can one person be so perfect," but now i feel so weird. i don't remember much of my life. this quarantine/isolation year isn't helping either. it's like i was 5 years old, then i turned 14, and now i'm 18. my life is wasting away and i don't feel like a person, i haven't felt like one for years at this point

anyways, this song now has a much sadder meaning to me now. i hope that one day i won't have to feel like this anymore


Can anyone give me the chords for this? This song is just so hard hitting in a good way and I want to be able to play it myself. All your music is just perfect in its own unique way.

it's a little late sorry i just discovered this song and it's gr8 btw but could you please do something about chords(like ukulele) for this song? thanks:)


I almost thought I wrote this because of how much I relate to this


so much of 'when' is about dodie's chronic dissossiation, which i get. it took me years to realise mine, but my first months with it, i remember listening to this. i remember hearing the line, "they tell me i loved, teach me how to think." being 13, pretending you could bring yourself back by pretending who you used to be. your way of functioning is just thrown off course and so you remember how you used to think and try to think the same. things have never been the same. im sick of faking diary entries. i'll never be 12 again.


Dodie, I don't know if you'll see this, but I hope you do. Today I visited my best friend in Intensive Care where she is lying with tubes and IVs and bandages all over her after a flare of Lupus almost took her life. I've been struggling so hard today and I finally got home and just broke... I haven't cried so hard in a while. I don't know what I would do without her, and even though I know her chances are good and growing, I can't help but worry myself sick. I just can't believe it's happening. When I finally stopped crying I pulled this song up on my phone, and something about "I get it in my head I'll never be 16 again" just gave me so much peace. Your songs have been my anxiety repellant for years now, but something particular about "When" and "6/10" just pull me out of any situation. You've got something special, Dodie. Please continue to create and do what you love!


Dodie should voice Elsa's girlfriend  who has an amazing singing voice that can control people's emotions (...)PLEASE DISNEY.


im turning 18 in god- only a few months and im in no way shape or form prepared, where did the time go??


love dodie's expression right before they start


im 17. i'll never be 16 again. and in 10 years time the realisation will probably hit even harder. that it'll be over and i'll still be asking 'when'


anyone else listening to this the night before their seventeenth birthday :')


Just having a mental break down with dodie playing in the background what's new skksk


Turned seventeen 20 minutes ago... weird

“I’ll never be sixteen again”


this lowkey sound like it belongs in a disney movie??


im turning 17 in less than an hour. excuse me while i go cry over this song


whose still listening to this on repeat cUz i AM


THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF ANOTHER SONG BUT I DON'T KNOW WHAT SONG AND IT'S REALLY FRUSTRATING ME BECAUSE I FEEL LIKE IT WAS A GOOD SONG BUT I DON'T ACTUALLY KNOW BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW WHAT SONG IT IS IT JUST REMINDS ME OF ANOTHER SONG GAHHHH


I'm turnin 17 in a few days and I fucking cracked

dodie why


WHY is no one talking about how terrifying this song is omg help I'm wasting my life I cant breathe


Why couldn't I have found this song a year ago?


Fifteen years of classes to have a shit ton of measures of rest lol story of my life


THIS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING IVE EVER SEEN FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK


At 56: soon to be 57, I don't stop seeking. But when you stand still once in a while you see such lovely sparks of humanity all around you. And we can find warmth in each others glow. Sometimes it's just embers that need nurturing, and other times it's a huge honking bonfire. While I am pretty damn far from sixteen, I still live and breath and can appreciate passion's fire without necessarily requiring that it be for me exclusively. I remain open to that possibility however, and on those odd days; or weeks, where I have an ample flame within, there's coals enough to share. And one day we do find that to be enough. You have such a bright soul and a wonderful talent, young lady, keep your fire fed by those who so clearly love you. :)


I just turned 16 less than 4 months ago, and my time's being used up during quarantine


I don't thing anyone will ever understand how special this song is to me. I'm still waiting for the day I fall in love and will stop living in the past or future. I'm 19 and still waiting for may life to begin. I just keep asking when?


I just turned 17 so brb, just gonna cry in a corner


Anyone know the chords for this? I really want to learn how to play this as its so beautiful 😭


I want the chords to play on my guitar but I CAN'T FIND

if you know the tabs or something PLEASE TELL MEGSJAVAKN


I turned 17 today, and now I'll never be sixteen again. That is so terrifying.


And now I'm crying again. Time is so fucking scary.


the thing about this song is i relate to it perfectly and I'm 13. i don't remember a time when i didn't have depression. i only recently realized that thats not normal and most people get mental illness from like middle school to high school. I'm getting better y the way and thats great it just feels like I'm so much older and I've experienced so many things that 16-22 year olds are talking about but i just turned 13. have a nice day


Can someone get dodie to voice a Disney princess I'd pay good money for that to happen


does anyone happen to know where to find the violin sheet music for this?

You can usually find stuff like this on MuseScore<br>Happy violining

I’m saying this in the most humble way possible but I literally have two guys and a girl pinning after me but i don’t have it in me to feel anything for any of them. In my 15 years of existence i have NEVER had a crush on someone, I merely tried to convince myself i did and I at this point I don’t believe in love. But then i’m not asexual or aromantic because i am physically attracted to people but that’s as far as it goes

This is a bit late but aromantic simply means you don't experience romantic attraction (but this exists on a spectrum). You can totally be aromantic and still be physically attracted to people :)


Am i the only one who thinks that this sounds like it could be from a musical for example Dear Evan Hanson? Soooo beautiful ~


I've never been in love either. ive always asked when. and wished life was over too


It hurt me how much these words sunk in.


I can't stop watching this. Can't wait for the EP to come out!!


im 14.
im dreading 'growing up' and yet looking forward to it.

it's funny, we dread the present and the future, we're all stuck wishing for the past.
it's for the best, right?

this stage of life is so crucial yet so pointless.
how many of the friendships we are making right now will count later on?
who will stay?

what is the point of all the things that we are learning in school?
and yet, we get judged on the decisions we make now.

first kisses, first relationships, first cigarette.
everyone expects that peak at 16.
and it scares the hell out of me.
what if we don't live up to that 'sweet sixteen'?

bloody hell what was that oof bye.

ugh thank you for putting it into words
i hope we'll be ok, friend
stay strong <3


It seriously bothers me that Dodie only has 950,000 subs. Shes so amazing.


I'm literally sobbing my eyes out because you've helped me through so much dodie. I've gone through a lot lately and this channel always makes me feel so safe


if you close your eyes and just listen you will end up crying. this song is a masterpiece.


400 listens later and still no song will ever describe me so well. Beautiful


I saw you perform this song live yesterday at VidCon EU and you were absolutely wonderful. Please keep making this amazing music!


I've listened to this last night with good headphones and it made me cry. It resonates with me so incredibly; so many of my thoughts are in this song in the most eloquent way and just extremely well put and then the melody... I feel like this song will stick with me for a very long time.


OMG I am so sorry Dodie my finger slipped and I unliked the video and I am so sorry this is such a great song and sorry


God, this is beautiful. I think I relate with the verse... And I love the cello/piano/violin mix...


Love the live version, and how cool that you all performed it in your living room!?<br>Love the EP Dodie!

Love the live version, and how cool that you all performed it in your living room!?
Love the EP Dodie!


Those lyrics made me say wow, this is amazing, and everything envelopes. It's just so well put together, this song is beautiful.


i find myself coming back to this song a lot for a lot of different reasons.

this song helps my creativity come out due to the instrumentals. it really relaxes me and allows me to just zoom out and let the 7 year old creative me take over for a bit

and then there's the times i come back because i need to reconsolidate with myself and remind myself that the ways i feel are valid and i am not crazy and as fun as the past was it's time to let go but i don't have to rush, just let go of memories one at a time.

i've always been one for living in the past and i wish i would've stayed there but i need to get it in my head, ill never be 16 again.

stop doing what you're doing and live, rebecca.


i literally cry when I hear this, it's such a beautiful song and i love it so much. my favourite song ever. thank you for blessing me with your existence dodie. thank you so much xx


This is by far my favorite dodie song... this really resonated with me


This song is amazing even without the instruments your lyrics and your voice is beautiful. LYL


I almost cried this is so beautiful<br>and i nEver cry.

I almost cried this is so beautiful
and i nEver cry.


Dodie this is EPIC. Fantastic, I love it. I feel like it should be in a movie, so heartfelt. <3


I have NEVER IN MY LIFE related so much to anything 💜 thank you dodie :)

I just recently discovered your channel and now I'm obsessed! I love all of your music and I'm thinking of posting some covers. I seriously love love LOVE your music! Keep writing!


How does she sing like this?! I love her voice 🤗


I love this song so much Dodie it's amazing. Well done :)  Also random question your keyboard/electric piano sounds so nice what one do you use? x


this is beautiful 😍😍 i play cello so i really want to learn this if possible


Gives me chills every time aaaaaa I love this song


This is the prettiest thing I've ever heard, it gave me goosebumps nonstop. This was truly beautiful!!!


I love this song so much. I listen to it all the time <3


Actually love this song so much, can't stop listening to it, you're an angel Dodie


I'm dancing to this for my exam. You're such an inspiration


4 months on and I still listen to this song at least once a day <3


Wow 😍 Cette voix, cette chanson, cette musique ❤❤❤😍 an angel !


"I'll never be sixteen again" gets me EVERY FREAKING TIME


I'll be honest I love this song to death! I find this song comforts me and captures how I feel on a daily basis, so I would like to so thank so much more making this song it touches my heart more than anyone ever could


I actually got goosebumps omg this is too beautiful


This song made me cry so hard, so many times.... Thank you, so, so much! Your music has helped me through so much lately, and I cannot thank you enough <3
You've helped me, and so many other people, and I cannot stop thanking you....

Your voice is absolutely gorgeous, by the way <33


I cried so damm hard when you sang I'll still be asking when. Sometimes I let my anxiety take its corse and I forget about time and I always feel as if I'm always waisting it and waiting for life.


We need more music from Dodie. Please? ❤❤❤❤


It's so cute how you do this little dance in the first second and they you're just like 'nope, serious time' xD


Literally your songs help me through so much in my life. Your voice helps me calm down during my terrible anxiety attack, you voice helps me clear my head when I feel nothing is going right. Thank you for your music. I love so much and I hope you continue to make music as long and it continues to bring you joy. ❤


Ever since ive discovered this song ive literally listened to this everyday and cry i love it so much


IVE HEARD THIS SONG SOMEWHERE BEFORE, AND I LOVED IT


I get shivers everytime I hear this... harrowing yet beautiful x


I almost started crying in my science class because I was singing this song in my head


does anyone know the chords for the piano?? i would love to learn to play this beautiful song.


The way you cry when you hear la la lands sound track is how I cry when I listen to this daily. Thank you. God dammit thank you for existing Dodie 💕 you're helping heal my heart!


Did you compose the strings parts? If so, I am really impressed! Either way, this is amzingly beautiful, thank you so much for sharing! :)


dodie, stop being sooooooooooooooooooooo amazingly good at music, i'm jealous


i remember listening to your original songs playlist, and this came on. i heard the piano and immediately stopped what i was doing.

i just remember thinking "holy shit. this is beautiful."


ahhhhh that violin makes my heart sing!!!


i'm getting loads of chills listening to this omg


THE BRIDGE UGH OH MY LORD this is so bloody beautiful dodie


i dont understand how dodie managed to put everything i feel into a song so P E R F E C T L Y


i've been writing a "juke-box" musical of sorts using only dodie songs and this fits perfectly i'm so excited


damn it, dodie. y u so good? 😍 (new subscriber here!!) i've only watched 2 videos of you but damn. 😍 fell in love that instant.


All I have to say is absolutely beautiful.


I can never get to the end of this song without having to stop it and sob my eyes out cos the lyrics explain how I've been feeling for the past few years and knowing that I'm not the only one who's ever felt this way, is weird and sorta comforting in a way but it also brings a lot of emotions to the surface and idk if that's good or bad.


every time i listen to this i sob so hard i can't catch my breath and my muscles hurt


when you say "I'll never be 16 again"<br>I feel that in my heart so much

when you say "I'll never be 16 again"
I feel that in my heart so much


my puppy was whining so I put this on and he stopped he loves it


this song describes exactly how I feel, I can never seem to enjoy the moment when it's there, its like I'm looking at the situation from a distance while I'm in the middle of it and it's so frustrating it's ruining my life honestly


Is there any sheet music for the three instruments? I play all three and I was wondering just so I could record myself playing and then have a friend sing. All credit will be given to you of course because you're amazing <3


Not really into this genre of music but I have to say this song is brilliant! I completely got lost in it and had me all emotional and I love it! lol


😭i can relate to these lyrics so much rn


Honestly I just want to put all her songs together into one long movie music video musical thing and have it be so amazing. I'm a film student and whenever I need inspiration I go to your videos so thank you so much!


you always make me tear up in a good way I Love You So Much aaaahhhh


Hearing "I'll never be 16 again" at the age of 16 makes me nervous because I don't feel like I'm  accomplishing anything important and it makes me nervous. Then the whole "it'll be over and I'll still be asking when" makes me reconsider my existence. Wonderful song tbough, keep it up dodie


This whole song just makes me want to hug dodie and cry


This song is so beautiful I can't take it


fuck i love this song so much its so amazing and well written but i simply cannot listen to it because every time i do i just start bawling


I was playing this whilst sitting next to my brother and genuinely asked me if this was a disney song


you are my favorite singer songwriter. for real


god i respect you so much. you have something and are going to get it. you're talented and wonderful, yet have the burden of mental illnesses. just know that you are getting through each day and loving and achieving.


Ughajajajgs. I love this song Dodie...and your whole EP!


These lyrics are the most accurate thing I've ever heard.


This is beyond beautiful. Unearthly even.


I love how neither dodie or the cellist are wearing shoes and they're both just tapping their bare feet to the music


This is the most relatable song I've ever heard.


Why did this make me feel so...

You are a legend.


when the lyrics really hit you after two months and you sob in the car


I need to get the sheet music for the cello


the amount of times i have listened to this song is unreal


This arrangement gives me the SERIOUS Kimbra 'As You Are'  Vibes


"ill never be sixteen again" always breaks me , it reminds me how im wasting my life always wanting to be back in time , eventhough im only 14


why do barely any of her amaizing songs go on vevo?


i wanna do this for my schools talent show but i dont wanna be too depressing lol


Now since watching tipsy talk all I can imagine is hazel off camera just sitting there balling her eyes out 😂😂


currently trying to learn all the parts for this :b wish me luck i've never played piano .,,


YOU COULD MAKE A MUSICAL DODIE. SERIOUSLY. JUST DO IT. PLEASE. THIS WAS INCREDIBLY BEAUTIFUL.


this makes me emo wtf why am I just now finding this angelic girl


I only have one word to describe this...amazing.

Like actually though. My ears love this.


I HATE DODIE FOR GETTING MY FEELS EVERYTIME BUT LOVE DODIE BECAUSE I FEEL SO MUCH REASSURED AFTER HER SONGS CAN YOU TELL SHE HAS A BIG EFFECT ON ME


binging on dodies songs while i procrastinate and cry


can you believe dodie will be at 1 million subs before we know it


this song is so beautiful it makes me weak


The guy playing violin is so cute and he was looking at her the whole time!


I didn't really understand this song when it first came out - it didn't click with me for some reason and I wasn't fond of it. But it just came up in a playlist I was going through and my mind has changed entirely. I think I get it now, and it's not necessarily the words I'm talking about, but I get the musical ideas now - the layering of the piano, cello and violin melodies is beautiful and I understand why you did that for this song.<br>I really hope I don't come across as arrogant through this comment, just wanted to share my experience with the song :)

MY EARPHONES CUT OUT AT THE 'OOOH' BIT AND MADE ME ONLY HEAR THE ECHOEY VOCALS AND I NEED THAT ON REPEAT HOW DO I DO IT AGAIN LMAO


Doubtful you'll even read this, since this video is 4 months old. But I've never heard a song that matched what I was feeling this perfectly before. It makes me feel so much better to know I'm not the only one feeling this way, even though I feel bad that you're going through it as well. Thank you for writing such beautiful music, and always seeming to understand me in a way that no one else does even it's (obviously) unintentional.


this sounds like it should be a soundtrack of a musical


this is beautiful and I miss playing my cello so much

Shia Labeouf i'm playing violin but i really want to learn cello, it's such a beautiful musical instrument!

+Jane G at least u can play it! i had to carry my cello home and also with my school bag everyday so shit happened and now i have bad muscle knots in my shoulders and it hurts to do shit or even sit still eh

you should find time to play! its such a beautiful instrument (not biased at all) and with regular practice you'll fucking master it!!!!

I've been so busy that I haven't had time to play my cello :(


Oh gosh her voice is so celestial and magical and just akshdfksbdfc. SHE IS AMAZING!


hey Dodie :} I love this its so beautiful. I know you probably wont see this but I think your voice would fit a cover of Aurora or Bjørk. Ilysm keep doing what you do and make us smile <3


how dare you make this song that stabs me right in the soul


This made me cry for the first time in months and i didnt realize how badly i needed it. I graduated high school last year, but unlike the rest of my friends, im stuck at home instead of away at college. Ive been working my ass off so i can go next year, but right now i feel like im stuck. I miss my days sitting at home with friends, goofing off. I miss dumb high school parties. Im so ready to move forward but it feels like im being held back by the world, and mostly myself. Anyways dodie, gorgeous song, it made me feel a lot of things. <3

Remember that you will not always feel like that. Just try not to stress, I'm sure you will do amazing things in the future

im sending hugs your way i may not know you but it seems like you need them <3

lillylights I went to uni two years after the rest of my friends and it was the best thing I've ever done. I wasn't ready and would never have been able to survive if I had gone when I was younger. you'll be fine


i turn 17 in less than half an hour and i'm honestly about to cry listening to this...gotta get it in my head, i'll never be 16 again

update: crying now. it's been four-ish minutes since i posted this comment originally


good grief. i feel this so deeply.<br>dodie you are gorgeous in every way.

good grief. i feel this so deeply.
dodie you are gorgeous in every way.


"Faking diary entries" <br>I've never related to a lyric so much and it really hits close to home because I seem to always tweek everything so that they seem like something the future me would like to hear. I can't truly open up to anyone, not even myself.

WHEN will i stop listening to thiS??// this is very good. good song.


This is so different from what I'm used to hearing from Dodie aw,  but it's so beautiful.


Thank you Dodie, for everything, and all the dedication you've put into others lives as well as your own.


Anyone got the sheet music for violin? My orchestra could play this :D thanks


0:00 to 3:24 is the most beautiful part <3


I always live in the past, too. I keep telling myself, 2005 was the year.<br>It's nice to know I am not the only one in this little boat.

It's nice to know I am not the only one in this little boat.


oh my loRD DODIE. this is beautiful. i have been waiting for this for so long and to finally hear it is wonderful. i feel like i'm being enveloped in emotion and passion and thought and i can't stop listening to it. i love this with all my heart and i'm so excited and proud of you and your ep ❤


I loved the way the cello blended with your voice.


5 thousandth time coming here.<br>dodie is an addiction

5 thousandth time coming here.
dodie is an addiction


it sounds like a disney song i love it so much


Dodie has a funny way of writing songs that hit just so close to home


Goddamn, this EP might just break me.<br>In fact I hope it does, because if Dodie has taught us anything, it's that being broken is okay and we're all here for each other. <3

My ex of a year and a half (broke up recently)
sent me this.
I'm now under my blanket in my bed lol


omg this is beautiful, I so badly want a physical copy of the ep to listen to :0

MaxwellUnmotivated Totally, I feel the same way

Jilliocalypse I don't wanna wait for her debut album to be able to get the CD and vinyl 😢 I want to be able to put this on the vinyl player and slow dance around my lounge room with a friend/partner

MaxwellUnmotivated I know! I wish it was coming out on CD and not only iTunes!


This is seriously beautiful! I can't wait for the EP to come out!! I was just wondering, will it be coming on any platforms other than iTunes?

DapperDana yeah it'll be on Spotify and in CD form. I would also assume it'd be on google play, but I can't 100% confirm that one


I turned 16 this month and am now even more anxious, I never asked to do this growing up thing...


This is literally one of the most beautiful lyrics I've ever seen... Oh, who I'm kidding? The song is amazing as a whole and I'll probably be listening to it on a loop for the next couple of months. It's amazing how much you grew as a songwriter and musician, I'm so proud of you and SO DAMN HAPPY I FOUND YOU! Thanks so much for sharing your amazing music with us, it's a privilege to listen to it!


thank you dodie for helping me calm down my anxiety at 3 am


Ahhhh this is perfect 💞 it brings tears to my eyes - counting down till your EP comes out !!!!!!


I lived for the way the violinist was looking at her


Wow... I'm blown away... It's such a beautiful song! Quick question though, did you write all of the music to the song? Cause that's amazing.

+Kyah Nyland I wrote the piano, lyrics and melody! String arrangement credits are in the description :)


Still waiting for your ep to come out on Spotify 🙃


I'm asexual/aromantic, I've known since I was young. Coming to terms with it was one of the hardest things in my life, because I just thought that I'll fall in love one day. I'd put myself in uncomfortable situations, with both men and women, and I'd take what I could get because I figured I'd eventually fall in love with someone.
I'd pretend to have crushes and I'd write about them or tell friends about them, but the truth was that if I pretended hard enough, I'd eventually happen. It never did.

I'm glad I've come to terms with it eventually, because I feel like if I hadn't, I'll still be asking when.


Tomorrow's my seventeenth birthday. I'll listen to this until I'm never sixteen again.


I've majorly been waiting for something. One little video from you since your last one, while you've been away my depression has got a lot worse, listening to your music has been keeping just at the edge of sanity, somewhere I can stay for a while. Relapsing over and over again has just been so tiring, 'faking' diary entries, making myself feel better. If I make the day sound good maybe I'll be happier. Dodie I'm so proud of you but thank you so much for uploading. You don't understand how much it means to me, having another song to add to my playlist to keep me going. Thank you x


oh boy this rly makes me think about my dead ex<br>this is hittin me right in the honey nut feelios im calling the fuckening police

oh boy this rly makes me think about my dead ex
this is hittin me right in the honey nut feelios im calling the fuckening police


There's just some songs, you know? They crack you open. This song reached down inside me and pulled things out that I work so hard to suppress. Every time I listen I sit here and silently cry. For my lost youth. For the state of the world. So desperately wishing things were different. And though it's painful, it's also refreshing. We must acknowledge those deep down feelings. No matter how dark. So thank you, Dodie. Thank you for speaking the words we all desperately needed.


in a way you'll always be 16 in the sense that it's a part of u, every age you have evperienced is you if that makes any sense idk but age is just a number an inatimate number and no one else has experienced it like you have therefor making that experience ur own and yours to keep forever that makes no sense but it's ok:)


The line "I'll never be sixteen again" hit me so hard omg 😭


Dodie should totally be a Disney princess!!!


This is one of the most atmospheric and emotive songs I've ever heard. It's so beautiful but it's making me feel like crying and also incredibly angry and I can't even tell why. I honestly aspire to create something even half as good as this one day.


does anyone know what kind of piano/keyboard dodie uses here?


I used to think I'd use time travel for benefits in the future, but steadily believe I'd steal moments that I was never meant to have.   Such as this.  Dropping by unannounced to a live concert.  Just heartwarming enough it's not completely awkward, and just awkward enough it's not completely heartwarming.   I'm a rather lukewarm individual.

By the way, if you had an unannounced guest for this, don't tell me.


Dodie: i'd rather date an idea
me:
friends: dont do it
me:.....
friends: i swear to god
me:...........
me: maybe
friends: DONT
me: MayBE YoU ShOULd DatE mY CheMICAL RomAncE
Friends: YOU JUST HAD TO DO IT


2:14 that violin and Dodie's singing thoo <333333333333333333333

@Darrin Shafer<br>UM-- YES?!? THEY WERE SO BEAUTIFUL??? sdkfjkajskdjfnm-!

@Darrin Shafer
UM-- YES?!? THEY WERE SO BEAUTIFUL??? sdkfjkajskdjfnm-!

Can we talk about 2:10 and the strings ingeneral?!


i want this on spotify now please Dodie I NEED IT


Someone put this in a Disney movie. Like now.


Rose nice pfp boiiii neko atsume as consumed my soul alriiighty


Completely took my breath away.  the silence at the end of the song, it felt like you stopped time in the whole world for a brief moment . Amazing


how does dodie not have 10 million subscribers, dodie is the actually definition of talent. she can film a amazing song, even in a living room.

dodie is real, unlike lots of people on youtube. she cares, and overall is so amazing, talented, pretty, gentle, fantastic, she isnt p e r f e c t, but no body is

dodie is so underrated, i love and appreciate all the wonderful things shes done, to help me, and so so many other people in the world

dodie truly deserves to be happy, cared for and loved


Guys. I have a problem.

I relate to this song so much so I decided to sing it. I also decided to record it so I could listen to myself and see how I sounded.

Well

I accidentally sent it to my best friends. I’m really afraid of what they’ll think, I tried deleting it but it wasn’t working. I’m really nervous about this. I love this song so much, but I’m afraid that they will judge me. What do I do?


I'm 13, I'm trying to enjoy it while it lasts


damn. never related to anything so much in my life.


Dodie Clark needs more sub's ,she works so hard, this song is beautiful!


I've been listening to this song on repeat for a while now and God there are many ways to take this song...my favorite parts is " am i the only one wish life away never caught up in the moment wishing for the past to stay" I relate so much I wish for the past to stay when my life was easy, I had a family that wasn't broken but now I wish life away...


2:10-2:12 gives me chills every. single. time! Love this so much!

This song is so beautiful, I'm obsessed with it! I'm going to sing it for my school talent show because I think its so amazing and awesome! Love you Dodie! <3


The violin is so beautiful, it sounds like an actual voice I wish I could play like that

I relate to these lyrics so much, every time I listen to it I get so emotional, such an amazing song <3


I just found your music today and you took me through an emotional roller coaster with every song. You are absolutely fantastic!


this song is so lovely and so calming as well – I've been listening to it as I fall asleep for the past week or so, and I felt that merited a comment.


Your music is so relatable and unique. I'm so excited for your future, please never stop writing ❤

Ok I've been listening to this on repeat and listening to the lyrics and its definitely my favourite Dodie song bye


I listen to this song daily about 100 times. I can relate to most of it apart from 1 part. It's an amazing song just like all of her others. 😊


As a violinist I appreciate all that string playing. Love it


i think i was holding my breath throughout this entire video. this is amazing

This is SO aesthetically pleasing! I don't even know why! This song doesn't apply but it's beautiful

Even tho I'm a violinist that cellist is MY IDOL OML SHES AMAZING


I ordered one of the signed EPs, but it still hasn't come 😩 I can't wait to finally get it, then I won't have to listen through YouTube anymore 😂❤


This song feels like it belongs in a great Broadway musical, like The Last 5 years.  It's beautiful, and I am listening to this and the rest of the sings on your EP.  Thanks for writing great music.


this is unbelievable beautiful. I can't believe your talent dodie omg. Its genuine such a pleasure being able go listen to your music and relate so deeply with every lyric. thanks for everything.


SO CLOSE TO A MILLION!!!!<br>DODIES BLOWIN UP!

SO CLOSE TO A MILLION!!!!
DODIES BLOWIN UP!


"It'll be over, and I'll still be asking when."

This line gets to me so much. To me, it feels like how I'm waiting to start feeling like I'm 'living' and like I've got my life together but doing nothing to work for it. I'm scared that I'll miss some real opportunities to 'live' through waiting and "asking when".


i love this song... it breaks my heart because its so me (except the wishing i was sixteen again part)


"I'll take what I can get
cause I'm too damp for a spark.
Kissing sickly sweet guys
cause they say they like my eyes
but I'd only ever see them in the dark."

Wow.


In my dance class we're using emotional songs to portray a certain emotion.. I chose nostalgia and longing. This songs fits perfectly! In the instrumental I've asked a few of my friends to do like a freeze frame of memories and I'll be walking around taking it in getting all teary eyed and upset, mad and happy.. thanks!


i love that one moment after the song ends where she kind of realizes that she's in her living room and you can just tell how she pours her heart and soul into her songs to the point where she gets lost in them when she sings and i just don't understand how there's a person this amazing on planet earth


The strings are gorgeous! This song is gorgeous!!!


Well here I am again. Brought my emotions like always.


almost three months after this was posted, & near-daily listening (no joke), and it Still. gets me. every goddamn time. ouch dodie


This is the song that made me fall in love with dodie


This feels like a Jason Robert brown song as far as the simple piano and strings it's so beautiful!


I think one of the reasons that I love Dodie so much is because some of her music can make me smile so freaking much and the rest of it can just make me cry. I relate to her music so much and absolutely adore the artwork that she has created.


do ever hear a song that is so beautiful that it gives you chills? this is it.


can you do a piano tutorial for this song? I WANNA PLAY IT SO BAD


i love this almost as much as i love you

which is more than a lot


Nice song. This sounds like it should be in a Disney movie :D


Took me about .5 of a second to get chills<br>Dodie...HOW

Took me about .5 of a second to get chills
Dodie...HOW


this came out as i was in line for troye and i started crying in line


I don't know why but I feel like this song belongs in a movie or theatre. It's a truly amazing song


dodies voice and the piano and violin and cello is just arghh perfect. im also kind of in love with string instuments so oml this is just perfection


This could be written from my own head omg


So, it's been a little while since this song was released but I still listen to it obsessively. I don't I've ever related to a song this much, and I honestly wish that it related a little less :P It's just so unbelievably beautiful and potent... ughhh! I just love it so much!! Thank you for this amazing piece of art :)


I have never related to anything as much. This song is like a collection of the best, most wonerful and true quotes.


This song is such a powerful and moving piece. I discovered this particular cover a little over a week ago and I cannot go a single day without listening to it. I have never related more to a song. It's like you read my mind and put my wordless thoughts into words and I am absolutely amazed. This is definitely my favorite song. It it my go-to song and I listen to this on repeat. Thank you for creating this beautiful song. <3


I've been listening to this song on repeat for a while I relate to a part this part got me in the heart "am i the only on wishing life away never caught up in the moment busy begging the past to stay" I begged for the past to stay when I was happy and my broken family wasn't broken....now I wish life away


this is by far her best song, in my opinion. absolutely gorgeous.


Oh my gosh. She needs to sing with Conor Maynard. There voices would go greatly.


I'll be turning sixteen in about three weeks. This song gives me a lot to think about for the coming years ahead.


I WANNA DO A COVER OF THIS my friend plays the violin LET'S GO


all of your songs are beautiful. you deserve all the love in the world


Got to get it in my head, I'll never be sixteen again 😭😭😭


Dodie : "Am I the Only pushing one pushing life away?"
Me : Nope

*Dodie* : "Am I the Only pushing one pushing life away?"
*Me* : Nope


I have never related to a song as much as this one


can you please make a video on how to write a song? You inspire me omg


I'd rather date an idea;
something I'll never find.

I'm crying, this is so accurate it hurts


90% views are probably from me.. this song gives me life :')


I am so in love with this song, I had to sing it myself.. wanna listen to it on my channel? ._. <3<br>Dodie, you inspire me so much.

I am so in love with this song, I had to sing it myself.. wanna listen to it on my channel? ._. <3
Dodie, you inspire me so much.


The cello (I think it's a cello?) player looks strangely mechanic and it's relaxing


Does anyone hear Regina Spektor + London Grammar when they listen to this? Especially with the vocalizations near the end. Beautiful <3 I relate to this song far too much...


I can't stop imagining Hazel sitting behind the camera, silently crying and then storming out of the room, trying to hide her tears, calling them all a c*nt!!!


I'm sixteen and have been going through an identity crisis for the past year. This song pretty much sums up what's been going through my head.


okay but where can I get my hands on the sheet music of the violin part for this??


Mhmm now I hate myself for not subbing and watching all of these amazing videos earlier!


I just watched the video and focused on watching the cellist and violinist and trying to listen to mostly the instrumentals while watching them play the instruments... I heard things I never noticed about the song before and found it incredibly interesting


Does anyone know which genre this song would be categorized as?😊


About 2:20 on, before she starts the lyrics again makes me think of the twilight moves, just those notes together idk why


frick. when she sang begging the past to stay... ugh. i cried like a baby. this song is so sad and true and it's what i needed right now. this is old, i know, but oh my god. im just baffled.


CELLO AND VIOLIN!!! And no.. Viola... BUT THERES THE AMAZING DODIE


i've been numb all day but this made me cry


It's funny how a song can haunt you... You listen to it once and simply think it has a nice melody. You listen to it again, and some of the lyrics give you shivers. You start listening to the lyrics more attentively. Some of them resonate with you. They represent exactly how you feel or what you lived... By that moment, you know you love that song. And sometime later, as you're doing something totally mundane like take a shower or prepare your lunch, one of the verses willcome back to you and hit you with all the strength it has. And it breaks you. You kinda want to sob for no reason. And yet... It's all just because of a perfect song.


I'm going into high school next school year and this is hitting me like a bus.  Yesterday I was just a little girl running around and chasing boys. Now I'm at 14 year old "women" feeling pressure to know what I want to do with the rest of my life. I just want to be 5 years old again and not have to worry about school or the future. This song has helped me get through this so much. Thx dodie


ooooooooooooooooooooooo<br>this gave me chills

ooooooooooooooooooooooo
this gave me chills


is there sheet music for this anywhere? I might just have to transcribe, but I'd like to do an a capella cover and I need sheet music to base on


So, I have Dodie's Original Songs playlist playing, and I just want to marvel at how much Dodie has grown as a YouTuber, artist, and human. In other words, Dodie is amazing! ❤❤


"I'll never be sixteen again" i have actual goosebumps. I think this is the most real song dodies ever written. at least for now. and it's my favourite as I can relate so much.


I'll never be 16 again. Wow that hit me hard. I am so affected by this.


This hit a deep, dark corner of my heart that I didn't really know existed or that it was crying out for something real and raw. Well done, absolutely breathtaking.


I don't think I've ever identified with a song more


This is beautiful 💕 waow 🎶 it needs to be in a movie or something 👏🏻☺


But WHEN did I miss this? I thought I kept up with every single video...


Dodie, this is incredible! Exactly how my feelings are if they were words. I don't understand the line with the title in it. "It'll be over and I'll still be asking when." What do you mean there?? Still, infinite repeat, can't wait for the EP!!

I spend most of my life waiting until I can feel okay. I suppose my biggest fear is lying on my deathbed, still waiting.


You know when your favourite person writes a beautiful song and their voice alone makes your heart leap, and then they write lyrics that you relate to as an individual and they mean the world to you. Then they add in a beautiful melody and chords to warm your soul and throw in a few strings to bring colour to the world and everything in that moment is so bright, so happy, so true and you want nothing other than that feeling because it really speaks to you and you don't feel alone for once?  I've been listening to this non stop since you uploaded this dodie because I think moments like that, are the things I live for. Thank you for bringing me a world of musical happiness, I'd want nothing more. I love you x


OI DODIE THIS IS A FUCKING MASTERPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECE


This song reminds of the musical Wicked for some reason


I've just sat and cried since this was posted. This song is beautiful and heartbreaking.


Idk why but I cried during this and it was amazing I love your voice ❤ You are awesome and amazing


HOW could anyone possibly hit the dislike button?


This song makes my soul ache. It's beautiful


I. Am. Obsessed. Definitely buying the EP!


I'm watching this late night on my period and crying, what a life


126 people must have been blinded by tears from this song and hit the wrong button,lovely job Dodie


i have never been this emotional over a song, ever.


That was absolutely beautiful Dodie! Can't wait to hear your entire EP. 🔥😊


Do you have the sheet music for this song, me and my friends wanted to play this together


Dear Dodie,<br>I just tweeted you parts of this, but I'd really love for you to see this. I listened to this a few times, having seen the notification on my phone earlier but had forgotten to watch the video. At first, I was distracted and wasn't truly listening. I thought it was another love song about love or falling. But I replayed it, and I was actively listening and it really touched me. I heard the lyrics instead of thinking over the music. I was in awe and then I was beginning to hear it all, the music and the different instruments and taking meaning to the song and I just kind of kept playing it over and over a few times. I can't express how proud I am of you, and how you've grown and how far you've come. As I said on Twitter, I could hear all the different parts of your Instagram posts and snapchats and old song lyrics and doddlevloggle videos and just different parts of you in this song and it was really just incredible. It was as if you took all of these old things and wrapped it up in a more mature, grown up song and it was just beautiful and raw. After I had a glance at the comments, I played the video full screen. As I watched you and listened to the beauty and emotion of the song and these thoughts had surfaced, tears began to rise. There's something so real about this song that is haunting and sad and beautiful. There's no other way to describe it. Thank you, Dodie. This is a wonderful piece of art. It's much more than a love song about a silly boy or whatever. It really is just emotion in a song form.

Ahh such a fulfilling comment. Thank you <3


hi dodie, i'm making a music video for my A2 Media Studies project and I was wondering whether you'd mind me using the audio for this song to make my video? Thanks.


What a lovely birthday gift! Thanks Dodie <3


how do I put on repeat on mobile I need this is so good it's beautiful it's making me cry

If youre on a windows or PC comp, right click on the video and click loop, if youre on a mac, double click on the video and click loop and it will repeat over and over.

Or do what I did and make a playlist and press and just have this song on once or twice and you can just press the repeat button from there :ooo that's what I've done so I can sleep to this song and wake up to it as well

Reece Palmer open it in browser and change the 'tube' in the URL to 'repeat' search and it will automatically load ^-^


i NEED an how to play or the music sheets to that. I need to play it.


look at this, look how beautiful this is, everyone coming out of the dark and sharing their stories and inspiration they've found. look what you've done dodie, how extraordinary this is.


So I think I'll break the replay button soon


Am i the only one?! Some of her are like made for meh! 😂


(i'm not a sweet guy but i wish i could tell you how much i like your eyes)

ok wow why do i sound in love i'm totally not i'm not ahahaha lol nope no nope oh god dodie


i feel about this song like you, Dodie, do about the La La land soundtrack k gonna go sob in the corner


It's my 17th birthday today and the first thing I thought at midnight was "I'll never be 16 again" ✨


You improved so much love. When I first found you, your voice was small and you were a little girl. But now you have bloomed into the amazing beautiful woman your voice voice is so powerful and emotional. I hope to see you on your next tour. All the love honey xx


Just wondering... why does Dodie only have like 795 thousand subscribers???


So proud of you Dodie :) can't wait for the music to come


DODIE OMG THIS SONG IS LITERALLY ME TOO YOU'RE NOT ALONE ❤😭


man dodie is all grown up now I feel so happy uiiiii yes I will so buy this for christmas


this is such a beautiful song i can't wait for the ep and i'm so proud of you dodie <3


To all the 16 year old (and younger) people commenting that they relate to this feeling, i just want you to know you're not alone. when i was even a year or two younger i felt hopeless, like nobody would ever look at me like that and i would never share genuine feelings with someone- it happens. Stop expecting it and let it happen when you're ready. its worth the wait, i promise. you have plenty of time for your life to start ❤


WOW dodie!!!!! this is so ridiculously beautiful, I immediately went and preordered the EP, but I was wondering if there is gonna be a hard copy version available as well? would really like that!


will your friend give a tutorial on how to play your guys song on the violin


The run at 2:30 sounds like it should be on a Narnia soundtrack

We're all thinking "Evacuating London" and "Can't Take It In" right??

Uhm do i hear a narnia fandom? Hell yess

Rebekah Finley literally had this exact same thought


It actually brought me to tears when she sang "am I the only one wishing life away never caught up in the moment busy begging the past to stay." I've never really connected to music before like I have with hers and it's beautiful


Quand – Dodie

Je pense que j’ai menti
Car je ne suis jamais tombée amoureuse
tout le monde est dupé par la déguise du soleil
préoccupé par l’un qu’il aime

Je préfèrerais aimer une idée
Quelque chose d’impossible de trouver
Bien sûr, je vivrai l’instant
Mais je suis jamais contente ici
Je suis entourée par les moments plus attirants

est-ce que je suis la seule qui gaspille sa vie
qui n’apprécie jamais le présent
qui souhaite que le passé reviendrait
les mémoires sont fabriquées d’une encre plus vibrante
elles me disent que j’aimais, m’apprennent à penser

je me contenterai de n’importe qui
car je suis trop détrempé pour un feu
les bisous des mecs écœurants
qui disent que j’ai des jolis yeux
même que je ne les voie que dans le noir

je me marre de fausser les histoires d’amour
je dois arriver à comprendre ;  j’aurai jamais 16 ans de nouveau !
J’attends à aimer, j’attends à être en vie
Tout aura fini et je continuerai de demander ‘quand ?’

Gabrieil Ray ma franchise est mal mais tu commet est doux <br>❤❤

Gabrieil Ray ma franchise est mal mais tu commet est doux

My favorite song on the ep, I cry every time !!


This song gives me low key Broadway vibes maybe cause of the violin and the way Dodie is singing but I love it😍😍


18 and just moved to uni broken up with my boyfriend and trying to 'live in the moment' you never know if you are doing the right things. i always waited and longed to go to uni and live free and now i am just sitting here crying because 'ill never be sixteen again' and im so mad I wished my teens away. dodie i relate so bad and I'm crying so hard my head hurts. This song is so beautiful and I usually never comment. but this had me sobbing and i needed to let you know how talented you are x

Keep on chasing your dreams! Even if we lose something that means so much to us, the future is just waiting to be experienced! And it has incredible things in store for you, that I know.

i just love everything about this, thankyou dodie


i cant get over how dodie can take an emotion and write the most beautiful song about it i think my heart just stopped for a moment


Does anyone else get a The Last 5 Years vibe from this????


This is one of those beautiful, serendipitous times where the universe seems to know exactly what you need that day.  Thank you for articulating something I've never been quite able to, Dodie. <3


i’m turning seventeen in a couple of hours. thanks for the reminder to stop waiting for life to happen.


I’m 18 my youth is slipping through my fingers


I just began watching your videos and I have to say, this is just brilliant. Love the melody and the strings so much!


This is incredible. Love it ^^ Thank you!


This is so amazing it makes me cry every time I listen to it cause on some levels I relate I spend so much time worrying about the future and missing my past when I used to be so much happier and stress free and depression wasn't swallowing me whole when me and my ex gf used to get along so well and my anxiety wasn't keeping me from texting people and going to school not being able to talk every other morning because if I did then tears would burst out with my words and all I do is worry about my future and I can't really get it in my head that "I'll never be this age again I need to stop worrying about what's going to happen in many years time"


I'm just listening to your new EP and crying. You are such a wonderful human.


I always cry the first time I hear your music, it's so gorgeous, it evokes so many feelings buried down, it's absolutely amazing, I love it.


2:13 to 2:35 gives me the chills EVERY TIME. SO beautiful


Your voice is amazing and your music as well


I have watched this WAAYYYYYY too many times and I still adore it! Love this song so much! ❤❤


This feels like it would fit perfectly in a musical ❤


My favorite Dodie songs are definitely When, 6/10, Down, Pas De Deux, She, My Face and I Have A Hole In My Tooth (And My Dentists Are Shut) just for the catchyness


Dodie. Amazing. this makes my heart happy and im sooo proud of you!! well done.


This is my favourite song from the EP. Its so beautiful. This is art

I keep on coming back to this song, theres something about it that helps me calm down, I dont know whether its your soothing voice or the instrumental but i love it so much. Thank you. <333


I was listening to this last night while decorating my room and I had to stop and have a little cry. This is so beautiful and certain lyrics stick out and relate to how I'm feeling lately.


Dodie oh my god I have listened to this way too many times already!! I'm about to get my first paycheck from my first real job and I'm gonna buy your EP with it


Dodie could you possibly make a piano tutorial for this? I love this song so much, I've been listening to it on repeat since you posted this video, and I'd LOVE to be able to play it!


Oh my<br>This is the first video I had seen and I'm subscribed now. This is the love at a first sight ❤

Oh my
This is the first video I had seen and I'm subscribed now. This is the love at a first sight ❤


I saw this at the boncas and my friends had to hold me as I cried, thank you <3


This singing is so stunning, and your performance. I wasn't expecting to be crying over my breakfast as I listened to your EP this morning x


AHH why am I only hearing this now?? It's so cool to see you grow as a songwriter ^_^


Please do a piano tutorial for this!! I'm desperate to learn it!!


This is the most beautiful song I've ever heard. I listen to you every single day for 50 minutes in my English Class. Then I go home and listen to you some more. You've been an amazing inspiration to me. Thank you for sharing your talent. Truly amazing.


This is so amazing. I love her so much, how is she nto the voice of a disney princess, how does she not have over 5 million subscribers?


is there a CD "physical" version of the EP out there? or exclusively virtual mp3 files? xx either way, so great!


Your way with words never ceases to amaze me, you're an incredible lyricist, this resonated with me so well. It's almost haunting. Keep it up, Dodie, can't wait to here more from you


No matter how many times I watch this I still cry!<br>I'm sitting at my dining room table 'studying' and I had to wipe way tears so my family wouldn't wonder why chemistry got me so sad!

No matter how many times I watch this I still cry!

It's so weird that I've met dodie and watched her perform this but it's a good weird as now I can really picture her and her voice !


I JUST BOUGHT THIS SONG ON I TUNESSSSSSS!!! CONGRATS DODIEEEEEE!!!!


Dodie reminds me of twenty one pilots. Nice music, amazing lyrics


This might be one of the best songs of 2016, like for real.


This is what made me subscribe. Oh gosh dodie thankyou for putting thoughts into music.


Anyone else feel inspired to just write a whole musical around this one song?

Beautiful work Dodie, loving the EP from Australia xx


OMG i really want the cello music for this!!!


does anyone know where i can find a piano tutorial for this? its too beautiful to not learn


even though i listened to this video when ti came out it never really hit me, but last night i listened to the EP, and when this song came on i just sobbed. I can't even express how beautiful the lyrics are to me, safe to say this song isn't just my favourite on the ep, but one of my favourites in a long time


i have never related to song so much in my life, i sobbed whilst listening to this, at first because i thought it was sad that this is how you feel, and then even harder because i realised that this is how i feel too. dodie this song is beautiful and so are you, thanks for not making me feel alone 💖


This is the song that I turn up and close my eyes, drowning out the world with just my thoughts to keep me company.


"memories painted with much brighter ink" oh my wow my golly gosh goodnesswow that is quite exactly what i flip flopping feel like rn wowowow dods u sure are good at the song writing thing (srs this is beautiful)


I just realised after looking back at old videos you mention some of the lyrics in them. It really shows how much the song relates to you and how meaningful it must be because the lyrics all relate to your feelings. I love it.


THE CELTIC VIBES IN THE "OOH" PART GIVE ME SO MANY CHILLS IM CRYIN


Fun fact I've cried every time I've watched this


THE FAULT IN OUR STARS vibe here i love the lyrics


this is sooo fucking beautiful i get goosebumps every time


Enjoy this gift we have everyone....while she is here. Such a beautiful talent Doddle, thank you for sharing you.


I relate to this song so much, I can't even explain it


I just listened to Social Dance, Pas De Deux (you'll know these two if you're old Dodie trash), and now When. CAN YOU IMAGINE THE FEELS aaah Dodes you have grown so much!!! <3


Dodie, I can relate to this song so much. like honestly, I don't know he real reason but it describes me so well. I pretty much relate to all of your songs but this one really "knows" how I feel. thank you.


This was so beautiful dodie. I really think this song comes from your own life and experiences and is then beautifully tied in with poetry. This has to be one of my favorite songs that you've written. I'll finally be able to buy your EP soon (I'm so excited is sounds good from the iTunes previews). Keep up the amazing music that you make dodie. It really does inspire thousands of people. If you don't believe me, look at all these comments and your subscribers! I hope you read this at some point. And to whoever is reading this, you're a wonderful, beautiful person. Don't let anyone tell you differently. 💓🙊😁


I relate to every single lyric in this song.

While I'm not sixteen yet, if I switch twelve in it fits me perfectly


"Am I the only one wishing life away?" No, you're not. But you shouldn't be. No one should. No should ever wish their life away. Please remember we love you, Dodie. Forever and always. We love you.


Does anyone know if there is a cello part tutorial/sheet music? Would love to learn it!


does anyone know the sheet music for the violin? thanks x


this is literally is what she talks about all the time on how she never really lives in the moment and is never happy with the future and wishes she could stay on the past 😟 it's OK dodie we love u 😙


I can't wait for Dodie to go on a world tour and I just want her to visit the Philippines cos I WANT TO SEE HER SO BADLY


HAHAHAHA OW

DODIE WTF
MY HEART !!!! (this is so beautiful obviously but) OW


This is the first song ever in my life that has made me cry. Especially the part "busy begging the past to stay." I am always trying to hang out with old friends who clearly don't care about me anymore. But I'm still so obsessed with wanting to do stuff with them, because I am always remembering the good times we had in the past, and I don't really have anyone else in my life that is my friend. I need to move on. I need to forget about them and meet new people. Thank you Dodie for this song. Thank you so much.


the way she says "busy begging the past to stay" <br>KILLS ME

the way she says "busy begging the past to stay"
KILLS ME


I have listened to this at least 300 times in the last week.


i cried, just made me rethink life and ughhhh


'Busy begging the past to stay'. Perfect.


The first time I heard This song I liked it, but I didn't really gave it much attention, a few days later I listened to it again, reading The lyrics, understanding, this song MEANS SO MUCH for me, as you explain just how  depersonalisation feels like, and is something that I struggle with. Now I cry everytime i listen to this marvellous song, I had never felt so reletable with a song. Thanks ❤❤❤❤


Dodie I don't think you know how much you script saved me. I struggle with depression and pretty sever anxiety. I cry almost daily and I don't know why. I live my life in the past and I don't except that this is real I want to live in a world of fairies and rainbows but i am struggling. I feel like I keep falling deeper and deeper into a hole that I can't get out of


"Memories PAINTED with much brighter ink" I know I shouldn't speculate but I honestly believe these songs lately have been about Jon and that makes me kinda sad...


Honestly, I hated this song the first time I heard it because it was too real! :'( <3


Can someone explain the song for me please? It is so beautiful and I wanna make sure I understand it correctly.

It means whatever it means to you personally. That's the beauty of art :)


WheN I WAS A YOUNG BOY

But in all seriousness this is a beautiful song


Idk if you play ukulele, but here's chords I found https://tabs.ultimate-guitar.com/d/dodie_clark/when_ver3_crd.htm
