does anyone have the sheet music for the violin and cello or know where I can find it?


Listening to this song on repeat right now. Dodie your existence gives me hope and happiness. Just keep being you my dude.


This is fucking gorgeous. Got chills so many times. Can't wait for the EP 💙👌

ive counted and ive listened to this song 10 times so far


DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT KIND OF PIANO SHE USES IM GETTING ONE FOR CHRISTMAS AND NEED TO KNOW THANK YOU SO MUCH IN ADVANCE OMG


"I'll take what I can get cause I'm too damp for a spark." Dodie, somehow you always find a way to relate to my life. I'm about to turn 20, halfway through my sophomore year of college and I find myself thinking about how great my friends and relationships were in high school (even with the vast majority of those being long gone) instead of focusing on the new ones I could be making now. I've had a terrible time finding anything meaningful recently and I appreciate that someone feels the same way. Also, the strings in this song are gorgeous. Thank you thank you for this.


Watching your videos to calm myself down because I'm on the edge of having a panic attack waiting for the results on the election.


that moment when ur in high school and a guy from elementary messages you for the first time in years with "oh yeah it's my favourite song!" when you post an insta story about how you preordered Intertwined and are listening to Sick of Losing Soulmates :o wot

Get married and be finically stable with two kids and a dog.


I translated this song to Chinese, because I love this song so much and I want more Chinese people to know Dodie and her amazing lyrics. 我把這首歌翻成中文 Dodie的歌真的寫得很棒，真希望它被更多人看見
If you are from Asia and need some guide to understand lyrics, here is my Mandarin version of it.
When || 什麼時候開始

I think I've been telling lies,
cause I've never been in love.
Everyone falls for the sunshine disguise, distracted by who they're thinking of.
抱歉我說了很久的謊
其實我從來沒愛過
大家被這陽光般美好的偽裝騙了 被看到的外表誤導著

I'd rather date an idea; something I'll never find.
Sure, I'll live in the moment, but I'm never happy here
I'm surrounded by greener looking time.
我寧願與一個概念交往 或許我永遠找不到它
不過當然，我仍活在當下，只不過當下我從不感到開心
現在包圍著我的是過去那些青澀美好的時光

Am I the only one wishing life away?
Never caught up in the moment, busy begging the past to stay
Memories painted with much brighter ink;
they tell me I loved, teach me how to think.
難道只有我渴望著脫離人生嗎？
總是與現實脫節 忙於乞求過去不要離開
過去比現在繽紛多了
它們讓我知道自己被愛著，告訴我該怎麼去想

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.
我還是會努力抓住我能抓住的，因為我濕透了以致於無法發光
親吻那些太過溫暖的人
那些人說他們喜歡我的眼睛
不過我只在黑暗中才得以看見他們

I'm sick of faking diary entries, got to get it in my head;
I'll never be sixteen again
I'm waiting to live, and waiting to love
oh it'll be over, and I'll still be asking when.
我已經受夠了用美好的字句偽裝日記封頁，我該抓住那些字句，放進腦海裡
我已不再年輕，
然而我還是等待著去活，等待著去愛
噢當生命結束時，我可能還在問什麼時候開始

Am I the only one wishing life away?
Never caught up in the moment, busy begging the past to stay
Memories painted with much brighter ink;
they tell me I loved, teach me how to think.
難道只有我渴望著脫離人生嗎？
總是與現實脫節 忙於乞求過去不要離開
過去比起現在繽紛多了阿
它們讓我知道自己被愛著，教我怎麼去想

I'm sick of faking diary entries, got to get it in my head;
 I'll never be sixteen again
I'm waiting to live, still waiting to love
oh it'll be over, and I'll still be asking when
oh it'll be over, and I'll still be asking when.
我不願再用美好的字句偽裝在日記的封頁
應該抓住那些字句，放進我的腦海中
我早已不再年輕
然而我還是等待著去活，仍然等待著去愛
噢當生命結束時，我還在問什麼時候開始
噢都已經結束了，我還在問什麼時候開始

DODIE I LOVE YOU <3


So I'm crying at ur voice it's amazing * goosebumps *


The link to the CD is in the description of "I learned a lot", her latest upload to doddlevloggle. I was going to get it, but with shipping, it totals to...$18.21, I think?

Rhiannon Luise omg thank goodness!! i remember a while ago she was saying physical copies weren't available, but i hope that's not the case

LovingPeteWentz Forever Yep she's selling signed copies I think!!


this sounds like something from the hunger games


Damn I'm 16 and that line hit the feels so damn hard

M yeah I'm Brazilian from a Portuguese family :p where r u from?

M hahah a questão é que mtas vezes, a nostalgia só vem depois. o ano que eu fiz 17 foi bem Bem horrível pra mim, deprimida afu lol, estresse do vestibular e tudo, mas ainda assim volta e meia me pego pensando tipo "bahh bons tempos, lembra a gente na escola, lembra aquele dia da formatura a gente cantando no ônibus, lembra do conceito de 'wow não posso entrar nessa festa ainda pq eu não tenho 18', etc etc.... :') "   sei lá, o que eu aprendi foi que mesmo que tu ache que não tem nada acontecendo, no futuro tu muito provavelmente vai ter saudade de agora de qqr forma, então, pq não aproveitar e tentar não se preocupar mto :)


"I'll take what I can get, cause I'm too damp for a spark" love this line!💗


22 and i'm still waiting for my life to start


I watched the entire thing already, it's pretty nice I guess so pls youtube stop recommending this D:


Dose anybody know if dodie wrote the cello and violin pieces for this ?


Ah, Dodie! Your EP comes out the day after my birthday! Honestly, this is the best birthday present I could hope for. You and your music mean so much to me. Ily and never stop doing what makes you happy.


OH MY GOD I LOVE STRINGS THANK YOU IT'S BEAUTIFUL


Next year's John Lewis advert will have this as the soundtrack for sure


Dodie, you probably won't see this comment but this song has gave me so much inspiration. I'm changing because I need to do something with my life and get stuck into life's challenges. I've just started to change my instagram and now I need to start doing the things that are important. Thank You Dodie, you're amazing x


Dodie, thank you for this. A friend introduced me to your music and I have had just a horrible past few weeks of numbness. Your song finally let me cry and let everything out. The numbness has finally begun to chip away. Thank you for touching my heart.


Please make a piano tutorial, I've been trying to play it with just the chords but it just doesn't sound the same


GAH I JUST WROTE A WHOLE PARAGRAPH ABOUT HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU AND IT TURNS OUT I WASN'T EVEN TYPING! Long story short I LOVE YOU! Also thanks to my cousin for telling me about Dodie! <3


Anyone feel like being wonderful and transcribing the chords? :3


I've tried so hard but I cannot find a suitable adjective to describe this song. Instead I'll just say I adore this, I needed it.


!!! This has such a unique and beautiful sound??? The "memories painted with much brighter ink" part sounds almost a little Broadway and parts of this are so delicate but then in some places it gets unexpectedly stronger and it's orchestral but also still...something else. gahhhhh I don't know enough about music to talk about it but this is just different and wonderful and amazing


I have been listening to this song on repeat since it was uploaded and only just cried now because of the sheer beauty of your voice, the piano and the strings that I somehow didn't take in when I heard it the first 15 times.


I have watch this to many times and it probably won't stop


This is quite literally one of the most beautiful songs on earth. And the lyrics...oh my, they affect me so so much. The thing is: I'm turning 17 very soon and I've hated being sixteen. Literally nothing notable happened. I didn't fall in love, I didn't do anything teenagers are supposed to do at all and I'm scared that one day when I'm 60 years old, I will look back on these years and regret not taking opportunities and regret not living. I never feel like I'm in the present. My mind is in the future, where everything's exciting and hopefully much better than where I'm at right now. And when something nice is happening indeed, I cannot enjoy it because I'm focused so much on taking it all in and trying to be overwhelmed with happiness, when really I cannot force myself to feel all that. Sorry for the ramble. The point is: I want to thank you, Dodie for opening up, for creating such breathtakingly good music and for being so strong despite all the tough things you're going through. In some ways I can relate and maybe it's nice to know you're not alone. :)

I just read through this whole thread and it just made my day. Seeing people being kind to each other, giving advice even if there are things they quite don't understand about themselves yet. I wish I had half the courage to let all my feelings out in a YouTube comment. The internet really is amazing, even with its ups and downs it made it possible for so many people to listen to Dodie's music and talk their emotions, from all over the world. I hope you all have a good day, an even greater life and no regrets (although it might not be possible).

LilaRose89 Yea you could say that 😂 I'm 16 now and I'm just glad someone's said it straight, it kinda just gave me a bit if hope as well as perspective. It certainly made me feel better than I do about things at the moment.

I think you'll be surprised. I just did a quick google and came across several pages including a Facebook page for Muggle Qudditch Portugal and a Reddit page about Portugal quidditch.

LilaRose89 Wow, this sounds like I would fit into there so well! I'm a huge geek, especially when it comes to Harry Potter but unfortunately really bad at any generic sport. I'm planning on moving to London in the future and maybe I will get an opportunity to try it out, because where I live (rural Germany) there is no such thing.

@Tori Thunder I play for London Unspeakables and hopefully I'll be on Team New Zealand at 2018 world cup
When I moved to London one of my friends invited me along to meet people.
I NEVER played sports growing up, I spent all my free time sleeping or reading.
It started as a way to meet friends but I've stuck with it because of the mentality behind it. Quidditch is mixed gender and open to all abilities and identities. There was also another player on the team who always made sure to tell me something I'd done well that session and what to work on for next time.
Quidditch players are not your typical sportsball people, they're all nerds who've dealt with not fitting in at some point in their life.

LilaRose89 Thank you so much, this gives me hope! Also how does one start playing Quidditch? That's amazing :D

@Coffee & Constellations I wish I had a sane 27 yo version of me telling angst fueled 16 yo me to just hang in there. Being a teen is the best and the worst haha

LilaRose89 I just read this and all I can say is thank you. Honestly. 😊

LilaRose89 I just read this and all I can say is thank you. Honestly. 😊

From a 27 year old who, at 16, would never have believed the things I'm doing now; being 16 is not what all the stories would have you believe.
My 16th year was fairly unremarkable, didn't have a proper boyfriend until I was 17 and he was a jerk because that's who 17 year olds fall for, the idiots who happen to know the lines to say that movies have told us we should want to hear.

Everything feels like the world when you're 16, I remember the ache of not having someone "to share my life with" but I was 16 and I barely had a life beyond school and extra-curriculars.
Your teenage life is about figuring out what interests you, who interests you, what you might like to do with the rest of your life.
Your early 20s are for experimenting with everything life has to offer.
Your mid/late 20s are for figuring out what's going to stick and what you'd rather leave behind.

At 25 I moved to the other side of the world, to a country I'd never been to, with a boyfriend who would leave me 6 weeks after we arrived, a week after my 26th birthday and a week before our 3 year anniversary.
At 27 I'm celebrating 1 year with a new person, I'm planning to visit countries I never thought I'd see and playing quidditch(?!) which 16 year old me would never believe.

Being 16 feels like the world when you are 16 but believe me when I say you wont believe the things that future you will do.

Tori Thunder I love this comment so much.

On my way I feel you. And btw: Ich bin auch aus Deutschland :) Du sagst, du schreibst: ist das irgendwo öffentlich, oder nur für dich bestimmt?

Oh my god, I'm crying right now because of this song and this comment... I'm sixteen as well, I didn't fall in Love, I don't smoke, I don't drink... I'm always on the save side. My life is perfect, but it's too perfect. I do nothing, I'm waiting for... for what? I don't risk anything, I write about adventures, that I never had. sorry for my bad english, I'm from Germany :)

Tori Thunder it's so reassuring to see someone who is feeling the same thing as me, it's so cathartic.

i felt like this when i was 16-18. please, please, please keep in mind that there is another side to regret. you <b>can</b> regret bad experiences as well as missed ones. if you aren't satisfied with your life, by all means change it, but change it positively. by that i mean don't do dumb shit, don't hang out with bad people, don't intentionally put yourself in harm's way. instead, surround yourself with good, kind people who will take care of you when you need it. wait for a good romantic partner; they're much better than the first asshole who offers. have fun within or on the edge of your comfort zone. if you have a bad gut feeling about something, it probably is bad. these are my regrets in my 20s.

+Tori Thunder dang i'm like the opposite of you but like the same idea. i'm sixteen and i dread the future so much. i feel like i might never amount to anything (and idk where you're from but i have to take the SATs soon and i'm terrified that i wont get into any of the schools i want) i'm also going for a risky career and i'm scared i'll never be good enough to succeed in it. i just want to be a little kid again so my mind is stuck in the past yet i feel like i'm wasting these years by procrastinating my life away and being lazy so oops

+weepingangel you've just made me smile so much, thank you for making my evening :)

+weepingangel you've just made me smile so much, thank you for making my evening :)

Tayla B You say you haven't done anything good, but you stand up for the ones who don't have a voice. I came across you on YouTube and Instagram before and I genuinely appreciate your work. I don't know you, but you seem more grown up than many adults. You don't close your eyes for the things you don't want to see, but try to make them better. I wish you all the best! 💛

I'm 17, and I'm confused, because I need to act like an adult, but I haven't done anything good, and I have helicopter parents so they want me to stay at home when I go to uni. Very stressed, and lost.

Tori Thunder I don't think I've ever related so deeply to a comment as I am to this one. So damn, thank you.

@Tori Thunder no worries :) depends on how you view/remember things too, but when you accept you can't change time or go back or forward it is what it is y'no, try not to overthink it :)

Tori Thunder i related so much,my birthday is on January and I'm going to be 17 years old.

Exactly me! thank you for opening up and speaking very well for all of us who are in the same boat. I'm turning 16 soon and i hate my life right now. I wan't to be in my first relationship, have my first kiss, go to a dance with a boy, float on air basically. I'm so infatuated with love meanwhile the only people infatuated with me are the people on instagram who like my pictures from halfway across the world then ask to see my ass. ugh, life sucks sometimes. I want to be dodie's age. at least then i would be able to go to a bar or something and find a guy. I sound desperate cause i am.

This is exactly how I feel (and it made me tear up a bit)! Almost everyone of my friends has a boyfriend/girlfriend or they are doing so much great stuff and I'm just sitting here and waiting. I'm waiting for these things to happen to me. I feel and I know that this is wrong. But I just can't do something about it. I really hope that my future-self does not hate me.

You're describing exactly me. Only that I'm 18 and I guess everything is shifted back a bit for me. This feeling of growing up has been happening this past year and now I feel like I've reached the lowest point. At the part of the song where she's "wishing life away" I started crying, it fits so perfectly.
I'm positive though, keeping my head up. All these commemts are really encouraging. Thanks for sharing your stories and advice.
And to Dodie thanks for this incredible song.

Tori Thunder I can relate so much with the first part of what you said, I'm sixteen too and I feel like nothing important has happened this year. I'm just waiting and I don't even know what for.

irrelevant areej Aw thank you so much! It's amazing people like you that give me hope for a better tomorrow, and a more enjoyable now. Much love to you <3

Lauren Redding Right, I never looked at it that way. But I would assume that you can still have a fresh start, try new things and all that at no matter what age, it's just harder the older you get. But then again, maybe I'm wrong. Thanks for your reply! Everyone here is so nice :D

Loz Man, you're my hero! Thanks so much :D

Loz Man, you're my hero! Thanks so much :D

Loz Wow thanks, this gives me so much hope! Everyone around me who's over 30 always talks about how school was the best time of their live and I'm left thinking: "What? It doesn't get any better than this?" Well I guess I'll have to decide that one for myself.

you've seemed to put all my feelings into words too.i'm turning 17 in a week and a couple days ago i had this great defining moment of realising that my childhood was gone and i've been wasting the opportunities presented to me in youth you know? and i just broke down crying into the huge blubbering mess and went on a frantic search to find one of my favourite childhood books only to find my mum had given it away and that it's nowhere in the house and i cried some more and listened to boybands i liked when i was 12 and cried a lot more. my eyes were so red and sore and all that was on repeat in my brain was how everyone seems to have these amazing things going for them and seem to have their lives figured out it's so strange how ppl our age actually have their whole careers started right at this moment in time and are content. but one day it'll be our turn too,so don't worry dearest. i understand on every level and hope for the best for you.  the future /will/ be better there is no other option but we could probably try making the present more enjoyable.start living in the now and not putting /life/ off. live by these two quotes okay? they'll help,they help me a lot.  “In the depth of winter, I finally learned that within me there lay an invincible summer.” "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." i am rooting for you so much and for every good person our age. you deserve and the world and u owe it to yourself to never forget it. x.

ah I feel like this is me in a way except it's more like opportunities have not arrived so I can't do much about it. I've spent half of my "teenage years of fun" being sick and then the rest worrying about school and what I'm doing in the future and how o am to do that in the future. for me, I'm sixteen, I hate myself, I try to make friends and try to have opportunities, but for some odd reason, those opportunities have never arrived. I'm afraid I will look back on this year and be in shame with how much of an outcast I am. I'm so mature for my age, so I don't mix well with kids my age, and people older than me are in college or go out partying, or etc. I spend 75% of my time with my mom, and the other 25% by myself. I'm thankful I have such a great relationship with my mom, but I've been praying and praying for other friends that have not arrived. I write some songs, some which are actually okay, and that's the only way I can get my feelings out there. except for when I see these type of comments. when I see these type of comments, I like to share a part of me that is usually difficult to put into a song. and plus I want you to know that you're definitely not along with this feeling. none of you are :)

For my part, though I'm only 20, I actually think you are experiencing exactly what <b>I</b> miss most about being 16, and maybe this is how other people feel, too. I miss having it all in front of me, being on the brink of so many things. I don't think the "I'll never be sixteen again"-feeling has as much to do with 16 being awesome (which it sometimes is, sometimes isn't), but more to do with "I'll never be back to before this (whatever "this" is for anyone), with the opportunities ahead of me to do so many different things. 16 isn't interesting because 16 is interesting, but because it's a time when you can make so many interesting plans to do interesting things because at 16 there is not that much holding your dreams down (hopefully) :)

I just turned 16. This is exactly how I feel.

I just turned 16. This is exactly how I feel.

As a 25 year old (Christ I feel old) the best advice I can give is this.

Firstly, never feel like you need to cram experiences in, there is quite frankly, lots of time. You've been an 'adult' for less than a year and there really is no rush. Stop thinking about the future immediately, you have at least a couple of years before the real world will start rearing it's ugly head. Let the world wash over you and appreciate the little things. Take time to wander, the best things happen when you're not planning them.

Secondly, other people aren't having as much fun as you think they are. That friend that always seems to be doing amazing stuff you feel like you're missing out on. They feel like they're missing out on just as much stuff when they look at someone else.

Finally, and most importantly, find what you enjoy, do it, and NEVER feel ashamed for enjoying what you enjoy, even if it seems like other people might find it weird or boring. That way years of wasted life lies. (The obvious exception being if your thing hurts other people, don't do that)

@Tori Thunder that's okay! there's no harm in being a dreamer - life is definitely better when you add a bit of imagination and daydreaming to the mix. and i completely get what you mean - i felt like that back then but once i started getting older i loved it, you can leave that shitty group in high school where you're stuck with the same reputation for 7 years..  you can go to college or whatever and do shit you want... get whatever kind of job you want / do what you want to do because it gets to a point where it's your life and no matter what anyone says it's your call on what you want to do. sounds a bit intimidating but you gotta remember what a big positive that all is - if it's making you unhappy/stressed to think about it then don't! something will come around the corner, opportunities will find ya, and it's weird in that if you have that kind of mentality you're more open to stuff/have more come your way :) things have a weird way of working themselves out, and i felt it was around 20ish that i really started to give up with the pressure of having to try to have no regrets because I realised that stupidly what i regret most from teen years is worrying too much about trying to have no regrets

you have literally just summarised my thoughts. im 17 in 3 months and i cry sometimes because i havent achieved anything yet. i tell myself im only 16 and i have my whole life left but it doesnt seem real. there is only now and all i can think about is how i can get my name in a history book. another part of my brain tells me i need to enjoy my innocence, but no matter how young i start there will always be someone who did it a year before me. there will always be another prodigy

I love it so much and i hope you guys have the best day ever and much love from a small british youtuber

I love it so much and i hope you guys have the best day ever and much love from a small british youtuber

M Thank you so much for your response! On one hand I cannot wait to finally be 18, on the other hand I'm afraid because I don't really have any plans, so I somehow understand what you mean. I guess all we really can do is just to wait it out, and eventually we'll find our place in this big intimidating but beautiful world. I assume you know Jose Vanders (or Layla or now part of Oh Wonder) because we're here on Dodie's channel. In one of her songs that Dodie covered with Lucy Moon the lyrics go "I'm upside down, can't find paradise on the ground" which to me sounds like she isn't quite able or willing to decide what she wants and isn't with both feet on the ground but floating in dreams and "what ifs". Maybe sometimes that's all you can do and that's okay, because rushing things doesn't help with anything. I wish you all the best! <3 (I have so much more on my mind but can't really express it bc english is not my native language)

As a 22 year old - personally it gets soooo much better. Fuck being 16, it's bollocks you can't do anything, have limited 'freedom' and people are kinda still at that lame immature/haven't figured out how to be a decent person yet phase. Don't stress about it. You got plenty of time - i think the secret to 'not regretting anything' is to try not to really regret or overthink it, instead of trying to do everything possible so you don't regret (if that makes sense I'm shite with words). Basically, you'll be good, and things come easier in time

Someone finnally wrote it! Thank you so much, I feel the exact same way. I'm 16 and everyone seems to be doing interesting stuff, making plans, finding out what they'll do with the rest of their lives. I'm just a teenager, who has no idea what she wants to do, no plans, and I keep thinking that one day, in the future, I'll know, I'll figure it all out. I feel I have never been further from knowing who I am and what I want and it's so exasperating! Especially when people ask  what i want to do after highschool and when I say I don't know yet they tell me I should be deciding. It's so stressful and confusing, I'm literally just sitting here,waiting for things to work themselves out, without doing anything to help that. Sorry, this is so long, I'm just happy I'm not alone.


2:11 to 2:50  is the most hauntingly beautiful sound I've heard in soooo long, reminds me of something i can't quite put my finger on... a movie? celtic music? disney movie? idk but i'm crazy about it


Cried a little bit when she got to, "Kissing sickly sweet guys cause they say they like my eyes, but I'd only ever see them in the dark". <br>Too fragile for this poetic Dodie lyfe

Is there sheet music for the cello part? I can't play by ear for the life of me.😅🎼

Jonathan Lindegaard starup    Thank you!!!

Jonathan Lindegaard starup    Thank you!!!


I'm crying. This is so beautiful. <3 Dodie you're amazing.


I've listened to this like 100 times the past 2 days


i wish i could eloquently convey how much i love this song but i'm just too caUGHT UP IN THE EMOTIONS IT'S JUST SO BEAUTIFUL AND INCREDIBLE AND I LOVE EVERY SINGLE PART OF IT IM GONNA LISTEN TO IT 3000 TIMES TO PROPERLY APPRECIATE THE LYRICS AND THE SINGING AND THE KEYBOARD AND THE STRINGS AND AHHHHH

also nice profile pic/channel art dodie ;3 x


i think i broke the like button i hit it so fast oh my go D


This is just a small thing but I love the fact that you didnt set yourself in the middle. Because even though you are singing, every instrument is equally important in this song. It shows how each one contrinutes and together you create a melody form of this feeling 😍


'i'm surrounded by greener looking time' is such a gorgeous clever lyric


i relate on such a serious level and I'm not even 16, I'm terrified of wishing my life away and I feel as though I am abnormally aware of how short life is. This song is so beautiful and Dodie you are my literal icon i couldn't ask for a better more real model in my life. You make me feel like everything is going to be okay no matter how bad something seems and I am so unbelievably grateful for all that you do on youtube, thank you :)


This song should be written into a musical


this is absolutely amazing, im in tears.<br>dodie i have been listening to you for a very long time now. I am so excited for an EP, I feel like I have been waiting an eternity.

dodie i have been listening to you for a very long time now. I am so excited for an EP, I feel like I have been waiting an eternity.


This song should've played at the end of Seventeen Again starring Zac Efron


YO Dodie You should do a duet with Aurora Aksnes!


I’m 17 but I turn 18 in a few hours and I just want to stay a teenager a bit longer


dodies a big girlie now, new ep, new songs, new profile picture. i feel like a proud mum


I at some point dated my career and the idea of gaining “knowledge” — this has been at the cost of “understanding too much” and dating ideas — I struggled with boredom in what I saw in others. — Now torn between two lives — 32 rather than 18 and still secretly asking “when.”  — I may be perpetually alone with my ideas, but It’s what I chose. — The years fly after 30. —Don’t be afraid to let people love you and your flaws. — Something I’ve never been great at and still numb.


Is there any way you’d be willing to do a tutorial?


You don't understand how many times I've cried at this song.


@whatisgoingonwithdodieandjontellmethanks  Thanks! Cannot wait! ^^

it will be on the 18th when the EP is released!


I just turned 24. I'm so terrified of the world, of vulnerability, of taking risks, of criticism, of the future, of everything, that I'm afraid I'll eventually settle for a quiet, lonely life just because it's comfortable and less scary. At 16, I imagined I'd be doing things by now, but my life is already running past me and I'm just watching it go.


Is it just me or should dodie voice a future disney princess


whats really sad is that last month 'she' was the most relevant dodie song for me, now this is.


It's really very, very rare, that I cry because of a song, but Dodie you touch my heart in this unique weird way, I really can't describe. I cried basically the whole song through (same happened with sick of losing soulmates and she). You're a great artist - really!! <br>Much Love xx

GOD GIRL you are coming to my hometown grsisjdbwksj!!! I'm so goddamn excited that you're coming to Germany omgomg


Like Vanessa Carlton & KT Tunstall had musical babies. Beaut.


good god i didn't realize dodie had such a cult following, lol. great sound. proud of u dodie.


I'm 16 now ahhhhhhhh I'm not gonna waste it!!


its my 17th now (midnight) and im weeping at how ill never be 16 again


This song literally made me drop everything I was doing and learn how to play it. Such an unbelievably beautiful song resonated with me so much I stopped and took the time out of my life needed to learn how to express something I feel so deeply connected to. I don't see myself as a singer, and I'm not much of a piano player either, but I made a cover on my channel to just put it out there, so that others might see this as a way to finally FEEL again like I did after feeling emptiness for over a year now.

Thank you, Dodie. You put words in my mouth when I'm struggling to find them myself.


The version on build a problem is pretty too but the arrangement on this one just hits different


I'm only 13 but I relate so much to this song because I live in the past and can't let go of it when I should live in the present and my memories are painted in much brighter ink. I wish I was 10 again because that's when I still had my bestest friend ever and I could stop the fight we had from happening and I was such a happy person then too. I just miss it, I've lost so many friends I'm used to it and I try to make sure I don't get so attached to a friend because I'm sure I'll lose them and everytime my friends gets  a new friend I get so scared that they're better than me and that I'm not good enough that I just mess everything up and lose them.


Such a beautiful melody, and those lyrics, soooo good! There are parts that would be perrfect for a theatre song! Can really hear this in a show x


me and my best friend just held hands and cried to this. we both got our heart broken by the same boy, we're both terrified of growing up and we both love you Dodie.


I legit cannot stop listening to this on repeat


This is one of my favourite songs! Love you Dodie 💕


to harmonize you have to use solfege (the 8 bar scale that goes from "do" to "do"). Depending in what key you're in, you're most likely in different triads. Some examples are the Tonic and Dominant triads. What that really tells you is the notes that are "stacked" up on each other to sound good. (i.e. do, mi, and sol make the Tonic triad). A triad is a "chord built with thirds." However, triads can be different based off of a key you're on. So there are many different keys, the most well known and easy to read being C. The easiest way to find a key is looking at the flats or sharps at the beginning of sheet music. For flats remember "the next to last flat is the key, or Do" for sharps remember "the last sharp plus a half step is the key, or Do" (And a half step is just the next letter in the Alphabet). The order flats are written are: BEADGCF and the order of sharps are: FCGDAEB (a nice visual I recommend looking up would be the circle of fifths).

Sorry for the super long paragraph, but what I'm explaining is the basics of music theory. Music Theory is a must to learn if you want to be able to create your own songs and harmonies. If you're interested in the topic I suggest finding and taking a class on it or doing more research on your own. I'm sure you can find better sources that explain these things a lot easier than I can. But I hope I helped a bit :) I'm a HUGE choir and musical theatre nerd xD

As the biggest choir nerd ever and someone who can just harmonize to anything, it's all about the ears. You just have to train you ears to listen. A good trick is to think of whatever note you are trying to harmonize with as "Do" on a scale then sing up to "Mi" and there you go. It took me a while to get it, you will too :) Good Luck!


'I'd rather date an idea' <br>that hit me hard

'I'd rather date an idea'
that hit me hard


i think this is at the top of my list of favorite dodie songs right now but you know that could change any second. but this is so good and the STRINGS


this was so beautiful i'm in tears <3 thank you so much. I really love your music more than anything :) xxxxx


wow. thats all i have to say. wow. the break  ofmusic and "oohs" towards the end sounds like something from narnia :O


This is beautiful, everything is composed so well. Well done!


the amount of me visiting this page is not healthy


I love this so much! The lyrics are beautiful, the music and your vocals alone are amazing! Keep being amazing Dodie; I will definitely download your music! <3


2:23 IM DEAD OMG I LOVE YOU I CANT GET OVER YOUR VOICE YOUVE MADE ME SO MUCH STRONGER WITH MY VOICE AND LEARNING HOW TO LOVE IT AND YOURE NOT THE ONLY ONE!


it wasn't a good idea to listen to that song on public transport. To all those who saw me: I WASN'T CRYING, THERE WAS SOMETHING IN MY EYE OKAY????


Everytime I hear this song I feel so emotional. It's so frickin beautiful and relatable at the same time.


Я устала писать на английском, поэтому просто скажу, что я люблю эту песню.
Она прекрасна.
И Дуди, и песня.
Спасибо.


That was so beautiful Dodie! I really related with the lyrics and I cried because it was just so beautiful;)


Ahhh this song makes my chest ache! It's so amazing. I can totally picture some book-to-motion picture romance picking this song for a scene.


my favorite thing ever. i've listened to this thousands of times. can't wait for the ep xx


This is the most beautiful thing I've ever heard. Dodie, you are perfection, you are so beautiful inside and out and you have pure talent xx


I've watched this like 8 times and it gives me goosebumps every time


This is such a gorgeous song, everything about it amazes me. I've been struggling with dissociation all the time, for a year or so now and this is just so sad to me. The line "I'll take what I can get, cause I'm too damp for a spark" hit me so hard. I'm so used to being anxious and mad about not experiencing life, and then accepting it and taking what I can get. It's one of the worst feelings; feeling like you're wasting your life, not being able to really internalize experiences and living in this fog with an overcast brain. Thank you for you're beautiful music, this one really encapsulated the feelings I've never been able to express.


This gave me goosebumps omg I love it so much!!


2:14 - end, those vocal runs over the strings = one of the most beautiful things I've ever heard, entire arrangement of the song is absolutely breathtaking, beautiful song writing, Dodes, so proud x


this is so beautifully done. i am so in love. i am so in love with this song.


Anybody else getting serious Eleanor Rigby vibes from this? I can't stop listening aaaa

After the song ends, I was like "....whoahwh....." That's how good this song was


I'm writing this while listening to you and I just want to say that is simply amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! love your songs


This is beyond beautiful. This is what music should be. Thank you Dodie for creating this :)


Dodie, you are a poet! Thank you for sharing your talent with all of us. Like some of the comments below suggest, your music is so relate-able and it's good to know we're not alone. I hope you'll find what you're searching for in life <3


Ever musicians are very good. Beautiful music with beautifuls instruments and lyrics.<br>Very good job !

Ever musicians are very good. Beautiful music with beautifuls instruments and lyrics.
Very good job !


Omg dodie, you are so pure and talented, this gives me the feels


the oouhhhs around 2:30 give me goosebumps i love this


i love how she says 'past' ahh, reminds me of 'i'm making you uneasy aren't i?' in 6/10, the melismas, ah, i wish i could sing like that


this. was strong.
i dont know how else to describe what this made me feel.
thank you.


asking for ur EP for christmas.
i've been with ur channel since last yr dodie, you've grown and done so much haha
you're doing great. keep going cool kid


I keep playing this over and over and okay?


Hi Dodie !
First congratulation for your music I really think it sounds amazing ! And the feels, i'm juste in love with your music and the emotions it brings up.
I was wondering if you planned in the future to release a physical disc ? Something that I would be able to take with me everywhere and especially in my car.
I know that most of your songs are available online but if you were planning to release a palpable (?) version I'd love to hear about it and know where to find it.
(PS: I'm from France so maybe if you ever release something would it be UK only ?)

Yes ! Thank you so much ! :D

Edit: Do you know if there is any other EP out already ? Or coming? There's so many songs missing ! :<


honestly, I've only been a fan since you started working with paint, but omg. I love you, you sing so beautifully and this song is exactly what I needed. I can't stop listening to it, thank you. keep it up..


Dodie when your EP comes out you should put your music on pandora so we can make a lovely station of your music!


my heart is aching and my tears are relentless. This is too beautiful and too relateable for words (despite the fact that i myself am 16).  I could listen to this song all day long and never get tired of it. I love you Dodie <3


imagine not only owning the album but having it on vinyl it would sound so pretty


i really cannot stop listening to this song i love it so much


I just got new earbuds and this sounds INCREDIBLE through them


Crikey, this is one of the best songs I've heard in all of 2016, no possibly all my life, the notes, the rhythm, all of it chimed together and added to your beautiful voice,  it just combines into a fantastic song, just simply beautiful! Hope you keep bringing more like this and don't stress out. (Seen the snap chats!)


dodie's voice is just my favourite thing


no but Dodie when did you reach inside my head, take my thought and turn them into this beautiful song???


sitting alone in an airport at 10pm listening to this for the millionth time. this is one of my favorite songs of all time.


I've come back to listen to this beautiful song again after a while and I completely forgot about the "I'll never be sixteen again" part. It made me stop and think about what I've done so far in my life. Tomorrow is my 17th birthday so today is my last day of being 16.


Well now I'm crying because I cannot believe someone put this feeling into words


I swear you just get better and better, and when I think you can't do anything more amazing you come out with this.


I cried for a solid half hour, listening to this song on repeat


i listen to your "ORIGINAL SONGS♥" playlist daily.. the whole thing.. more than 4 times a day ((: marry me dodie (:


love the look on the violinist's face at 2:30


All your songs are like little stories, pictures into your life and they're wonderful :) Thank you :)


this is so beautiful. i can relate to this song on every level, down to each word. i'm only twelve (i actually tend to get along with people 1-5 years older than me because of how "mature" i am. honestly, i'm like a 4 year old at heart, but apparently i come off as older), but i'm the deepest thinker i know. i dwell on things for hours, weeks, and even months, because i live in the past- i suffer from anxiety and depression and your videos help me so much. you, as cliche as it sounds, are the reason i play the ukulele. i know, i know, that's all you ever hear, but still, i felt the need to mention that :) meeting you in charlotte was literally the best moment of my life. i literally have the polaroid we took TAPED onto my mirror so that i can look at it whenever i'm feeling down. you're my idol and i can't explain how much you make me smile and how much i can relate to your music. when i discovered your works, i was more depressed than i had ever been, and i was becoming suicidal. your music, persona, and channel showed me that <b>everything gets better</b> ! thank you so much, dodie. i know you'll never read this, but i wanted to let you know how much you've impacted my life. you changed it for the better and i cannot thank you enough.

i understand why hazel cried swore at you then left the room because i have been listening this on repeat and its absolutely beautiful


can you do a tutorial on how to play this on piano please?


dodie you find words for feelings i can't describe


Will you be collaborating with Orla Gartland ever again? Love you both, and love this song a lot. This is by far my favorite of your songs.


this song just destroys me and puts me back together at the same time


will we be able to buy a physical copy of the ep anywhere? ^-^


This song shattered me. I don't know if it was more the lyrics or the music itself, but this moved me. Thank you.


I've said it before, but I think Dodie is one of the most incredible artists I have ever heard.  Not just the beauty of he sound of her music, but her ability to weave words is ASTOUNDING and the songs are so real and they make me FEEL almost over every other kind of music. Idk man... she's so so amazingly talented and I LOVE this song to pieces. <3 <3 <3


How can i get hold of those string parts mumma mia they are beautiful


Does anyone know the cello notes for this song? I really want to learn them


i'm going to buy the HECK out of this EP


dodie's voice was made to be accompanied by a violin


i am a new fan why didn't I noticed you before❤


1 and a half hours but I need this EP nowwwwww


does anyone have the arrangements for the piano and violin? this would be really good for my gcse ensemble performance


I feel like I'm just waiting for my life to get better I am just stuck asking when over and over again


Has anyone got the chords for this? I figured out the right hand but can't do the left


Was my computer just glitching when it had two Dodie's singing????? The first time I listened to this, it had two Dodie's singing about a measure or so off set from each other. It was this magical loop, but also hard to digest. The non-glitched version is so much cleaner. My brain is confused.


There's something very musical theatrey about this.... Dodie have you been listening to Jason Robert Brown's 'The Last Five Years'?


this song makes my stomach do somersaults


I stg I am at least 100,000 of these views. This is 10/10 my favourite song ever.


I have something big to say.

Dodie, will you marry me? I know we are meant to be. You will be my favourite wife.


when does you full album come out in the play store?


Dodie do you remeber what you said in the video when you sang "Novels" with Rusty? Because that is how i feel about this song. Why do you do this to my heart?


Pretty and powerful, Dodie. Pays well to not dwell on dreams and forget to live in the moment. All we have is right now. If we're not in love with ourselves and the world and accepting, we'll fall for anything and never truly rise. Caught in past and future and never present. There is so much to love and be grateful for in every moment.


I got chills..! This was amazing, thank you so much for being you <3


Ffs I'm crying so much rn this is legit how I feel right fucking now encapsulated in a song and I am honestly shook. Thank you for writing this song. It's so powerful and moving that I'm genuinely in tears. Keep up the good work <3


Why does this song relate so much to everything I'm feeling rn?????


oh god "i'll never be sixteen again" fucked me up. I am sixteen. And now im having an existential crisis.

San Greg Jesus Christ your English is better than some of the girls in my year who speak it as their first language don't put yourself down! X

Same. Tomorrow I'll have this big test to get into college and all I did today was cry. (Btw I'm sorry, my English is really bad, I'm Latina)

Don't be sad. Life is so much better six years from 16.


I don't even know where to begin with this song. When someone asks me to pick a song that describes me, I'll show them this song. I've never related more to a song, especially with how I've been feeling since I started college. Although I try to take in the present/moment, it's difficult to do so when I'm stuck in the past, wishing to be a kid (or sixteen) again. Dodie, your singing is amazing as always, and the strings made the overall song even better and made me understand the emotions of the song that much more (I'm also a sucker for music that has orchestral instruments in it). I'm so proud of how far you've come, and I can't wait until your EP comes out!


this makes me want to cry and its so beautiful I love it


when you said "am i the only one wishing life away" i cried for a bajillion years legit


it is official.<br>i have fallen for dodie clark.

it is official.
i have fallen for dodie clark.


I have no words to describe this. She's going to be big in the future. Real big.


mama i just heard a song so beautiful that i cried


this should be a movie sountrack or something :O


dodie I've been watching your videos for a while and I feel as though I've watched you grow up, from when you first moved out to bath all the way to now when you're releasing an ep I'm so proud and so glad to see you become the amazing musician and person you are and I wish you the best for the future. I know you will go on to succeed and achieve even greater things and I can't wait to see them <3


im closer to crying every time i listen to this song<3


because an hour ago when AnnaJAlexander told me it is on her second channel I went and watched it.

she did and you even liked it on your channel

Megan Sullivan its on her second channel


oh my god i love this so much i am cry ing 😭💕 love u dodie great work 💕

I can relate to this so much its perfect


Trying to figure out the chords/key for this to play on guitar. Any insight friends?


gotta get it in my head , I'll nEVER BE SIXTEEN AGAIN


"I'm sick of faking diary entries"<br>I relate to this so hard.

"I'm sick of faking diary entries"
I relate to this so hard.


I love this so much i am actually crying ..I am 17 now and my life is just boring and I don't do any of the things teenagers are supposed to do and I am just so scared of turning 18 ..I want to enjoy my last year as a child but i dont know what to do to make it special and more exciting when i have to deal with some sort of anxiety and shyness ..I can't go clubbing or to partys thats just not me and I jus dont know what to do with my life and i have also never been in love and don't have a boyfriend and the idea of a realationship scares me so much  ..I am just trying to enjoy life as much as I can at the moment.<3

Alina d. Teenagers aren't supposed to do anything... you are a unique person - live the life you want <3

Alina d. If you don't enjoy clubbing, don't do it. you don't need to like getting drunk and flirting and dancing to live an exciting life. Find things you love, like riding your bike or visiting other cities or photography or favourite bands or creative writing or the art of making the perfect tea or.... you get it. Find it what you enjoy and do that, find goals related to these things and make a list. start with the little things, don't pressure yourself. that's how you live your life properly.

also, if you feel like you can't handle a relationship right now, if you haven't found anyone you would like to trust, then just be yourself. you don't need a boyfriend (or girlfriend) to be able to define who you are. I'm nineteen myself, I haven't yet found anyone I'd like to be in a relationship yet, and my life is a happy one still. friends, family or indeed a good book can be just as important as a relationship if you want it that way. I wish you all the best.


THESE GUYS ARE FROM THE PARALLAX ORCHESTRA THAT DID THE WHOLE LIVE SET AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL WITH BRING ME THE HORIZON! THEY ARE MAGIC!!!!!!!!!!! OMMGGGG


no offense but Dodie is an unusually talented writer


she talked about this concept on snapchat once


once again this hit close to home.
i'm 16 waiting and wishing for the time i fall in love to be closer.
never happy with the present, always wanting to go back in time or always wishing time to speed up and take me someplace better.


5 DAYS I CANT WAIT ARE YOU EXCITED IM EXCITED


woah this is beautiful. you're beautiful.


"I think I've been telling lies
cause I've never been in love"

That line hit me so hard. for the longest time I thought I was in love with a boy I believed was kind and funny and understood me in ways I didn't. I thought he cared for me the way I did for him.

I've been thinking about it and I realized I was too young and naive to realize that I wasn't special to him, that I was just another face in the crowd. Maybe it's better this way. He wasn't too kind or gentle or caring. He wasn't romantic or sweet.

He was just a boy.

I was just a girl.

And we were just strangers thinking we were in love.


beautiful...now I got a case of the nostalgic memz


It's been 16 hours and I'm still crying please tell me it's not just me


i always look back on the past and wish i could go back and never enjoy the moment,,,, then years later those moments are the past i wish i could back to :((((( i wish you could know you where in the good times before you've left them


I better not be the only one in a pool of tears after watching this....


This song makes me really sad, I guess this is not the exact same but I can never be happy, I can't live in the moment, I'm always thinking about the future and how I will be so happy then that I'm not taking in and trying hard enough to feel happy now. When looking back on my best memories and really thinking about them I wasn't actually happy at the time, I should of been but I wasn't. And this really scares me, that what should be some of the best experiences of my life are being wasted on waiting for my future and just waiting to feel happy when I really just can't feel anything. Like I get really excited about things but when I do them I can't experience them how I should be. When I get old and remember back to this time I'm going to think that I was happy now because I did so amazing stuff when really I'm just really trying to pretend I am.

also I watched this (and wrote this lmao) in my underwear  sitting on my floor because I was so excited lol


I turned 15 a month ago and I can’t help but think I’ve already wasted so much time. While my friends are out doing what “normal” teenagers do I barley ever leave my house unless I’m going to school. If I could do it all again I’d tell myself to enjoy my childhood while it lasts because like everything in life someday it’ll be over.

i promise you that 15 is still young. "normal" teenage things don't exist. please please please don't spend much time reminiscing over a childhood that isn't over yet. big things in life will still happen, do your best to live in the moment. we don't know each other but i want you to live life the way it should be lived; not comparing yourself to your friends, not stressing yourself over "wasted youth" when you're still young

if i could tell my 14-15 year old self one thing (i am now 18) i would say live for yourself! not for other people's expectations, not for your own high standards forced on you, just for you. who you are, the things you like, the people you love, YOU. any interests you have, no matter how "dumb" they are, or how niche they are, or how skilled at it you are, take pride in them

the next few years will be so intimidating, but so worth it. don't let your past define you and don't let your future scare you

sincerely, a very emotional 18 year old


does anyone know what type of piano she uses??


As a 16 year old kid who arguably made the past year the worst and loneliest time of their life, this hits too close to home.


Ive never had a crush in my life. and really want one


She's getting popular everyone! We need to make a pact no matter how popular she gets... the YouTube clan has been here Since the start


I think we all compare this song as a Disney Princess sing bc that's where our fondest memories begin


at 15 i've realised that if you can't live as yourself, with just friends and no relationship, you should probably work on finding yourself first.
... but a relationship can help you find yourself, too, and realise that's not what you need. help you prop yourself up a little bit, help you prop the other up a little bit as you both figure yourselves out.
but, thing is, all of my relationships have basically just been friendships but I tell them I love them. so i started telling my friends i love them too. and really, I think that's a lot nicer.


The violin is honestly the best instrument for dodies voice, the way it has a sharp, fine note, but also holds out and swings into the melody.


So are we just not gunna talk about that note at 2:16 ????


does anyone know the date her EP is released?


why does this song sound like it would be in a disney movie soundtrack?


Chords anyone?? I neeeed to learn this 😂😍

Jen Vlogs I thought that first, but I soon got it after about a month! If you really try you could get it in no time :)

(Piano Chords) I dunno if this is the exact things but I tried to come up with it by listening:

Verse 1:
Right Hand: G# And E♭
Left Hand: E♭,G and C#,F

Chorus:
Right Hand Is The Same(Pretty sure it's the same throughout the song)
Left Hand(In Order): C# and F ; E♭ and G ; C(Octave Higher) ; C and G ; F# and C# ; E and B

I dont know how to explain the order but i think you can get it by seeing the video

omgomgomgomg I LOVE THIS SONG. I really like your texts, and your voice and your thoughts and your music


The lyrics speak to me so much. It's an amazing song, thank you Doddie!


Literally obsessed with this song!! Amazing job Dodie!


Ohmygod this song 😭 everything about it is so beautiful and the lyrics are just.. something else 😭😭😭😭 I've hit repeat so many times.


"Got to get it in my head; I'll never be sixteen again"
"I'm too damp for a spark"
Every lyric is too real.


i've listened to this so many times in the past few days and i've bawled my eyes out every time


I may have listened to this on loop for more than an hour... beautiful :)


I've listened to this every day since it was uploaded so so so beautiful


im a sobbing mess every time time i listen to this :( i love it so much its just so beautiful :((( xxx


I relate so hard to these lyrics. Beautiful, Dodie!


I love the combination of great lyrics, a great voice and the piano, violin and cello


the Ooooos from 2:12 are my fave bit <3 __ <3 this is probably the best song by you in my opinion, particularly with the other instruments in on it too


Omg, i want to learn how to play this. I'm going to have to casually find a symphony to help me recreate the magicalness of this video


omg I love all your videos Im so happy I found you!!!


i love the scottish celtic flow that melts into perfect harmony of dodie😘 meh i love it so much!


this is my favourite thing ever, i love you dodie


I've been listing to this in class while doing my HW trying not to absolutely cry my eyes out I love this so much Dodie can't wait to listen to the rest of the EP songs!


This video makes me cry and I have never cry before when I listen to music. So nice :) Please don't stop to make music ! :) Greetings from Germany: Stefan :)


aaaaa i wish i knew where to find more music like this!!


I cried listening to this, its too accurate, so emotional, can't wait for your EP bc I can assure you I will be a fragile crying mess xx such clever lyrics and far far too true x


I am in love with your new photo on your channel! You look stunning❤😍 also I've played this song an overly large amount of times x👌


THIS IS BEAUTIFUL, SHE HAS SO MUCH TALENT !!!


This is beautiful I love your music so much. Anyone else think she should do a cover of stand by me?


I love the way she says 'by' in the line 'by who they're thinking of'... soooooooo beautiful


is this is the version on the album? (I haven't bought it all yet)


I can't stop listening to this, it's so perfect


I'M NOT CRYING I'M JUST WEARING MY NEW HIGHLIGHTER CALLED "SALTY TEARS!"


When she goes "oooooooo" it's magical. ✨


You don't know how many times I've heard this song, I love it to the max. Dodie I can't wait until you are on a stage with a sold out show seating more people than you can imagine <3


The lyrics are incredible! l have always been afraid of growing up and keep on looking back on memories instead of making new ones, and this song has really put my feelings into words. This is just so beautiful :)! xx


can't listen or sing along to this without genuinely sobbing. i can't explain how much i care about and love dodie


This is actually just fucking amazing Dodie I might cry thankyou.


I can just picture myself reading by the window and watching the rain fall as I drink tea and listen to this song... gahh I love this


Goddamn it I cannot handle this much emotion I have the biggest chills ever bless you Dodie


This song moved me to tears. Your voice is so incredible and calming and you are amazing at what you do. After all that's going on with the world and with my life this is like sunshine on a rainy day. I can't wait for your EP


This is so incredible. Does anyone know what piano Dodie is using? It has a lovely sound!


I have had this song stuck in my head for days. I can't even begin to express my love for it. This song is so beautiful and full of musicality. It sounds like it could be a deleted track from Into the Woods.


this is the eleventh hour ballad of a folk musical I can see this on a stage so clearly you have no idea, the Jason Robert Brown of this is so real. I am honestly so so so impressed, it's so beautiful.


I have listened to this at least 200 times and all it reminds me of is something that would be a backing track on a John Lewis advert because of the melodic structure... it is so amazing 😍


you are seriously a goddess. your music never ceases to amaze me, you are truly wonderful. i'm more than excited for your new EP and i'm so unbelievably proud of how far youve come as an artist <3


you know, I have this thing about watching videos (music or anything else). I watch a lot of videos, but I don't suscribe, then I watch them again. I've been suscribed to dodie for a lot of time, and I don't regret doing it after a while, because that's when I started to understand the real meaning, after listening to her songs twice or more.


I will forever love any music you create, Dodie.


Sometimes a song captures a feeling you didn't even understand you had, and sings that knowledge to you with a comforting touch. This is one of those.


Still not over how incredibly beautiful this is


is there a way I can get this ep not through iTunes? I absolutely loved this!


this could be in a musical!!!!!!! so much talent!!!!!!!!!


i just realized many more subscribers dodie has now and im so proud


every time I listen to this song I cry, not only because it is beautiful (which it is, and incredibly so) but because it is true, at least, true to me and my head. much love dodie <3 thank you :)


Hi Dodie!!! I think that your voice would fit for Oh Ms Believer by Twenty One Pilots. Love from Sweden 💖💖💖


I can't believe it's already been a week since this song was uploaded. It only feels like I found it yesterday.


I want to cover each one of your songs, they're so beautiful.... they get directly to my heart it's crazy and also rare to have that kind of effect with nowadays music. I did a "Sick of Loosing Soulmates" one on my Channel and it was amazing to do, but also immensely charged with emotions (I don't know if I make sense rn), my friends cried because of that song and how beautiful it is. Thank you so much for making such incredible and meaningful music. I can't wait to have money again and order your EP


Dear Dodie, please never forget how incredibly beautiful you are. Your voice, your instrument skills, your abilities to put feelings into words, the way you pour your heart and soul into every song you sing, but also your character, charisma, kindness, looks with and without makeup or getting ready and I could go on all day. Your beauty is so natural and I just wanted to remind you of this since I've been following you for a long time and I think you might need to hear it once every while so please, never forget that.


i know your voice doesn't have that much power, but it has so much emotion and love and passion and i love you and your music so much. i can't stop listening to your songs, they tell so much with so little and i think that's special! you. are. so. amazing!!!


I am counting down the days until the EP! Only a week to go! I already pre-ordered it and I love this song so much!


doES ANYONE HAVE THE CHORDS FOR THE VERSES I AM SO DESPERATE PLEAS


can someone please choreograph an emotional modern/contemporary dance to this song. I can see it, I just don't have the talent to follow through haha but it would be so good


Dodie, it'd be beautiful if you did a cover of 1234 by fiest.  This song is stunning and shows your voice perfectly xx


This song sounds beautifully medieval? Ya know? Especially the bit where she does the "ooooh". Maybe that's just me. ❤


I get it I'm my head I'll never be 16 again💕.... that part killed me


could y'all imagine this on the john lewis christmas advert tho


i'm just. crying. i am feeling and i am outright weeping. if i could string together the right words to mend your broken pieces i'd do it. i am overwhelmed. hold fast. we're here with you.


dodie I love you and your voice I know you wont read this but if you do you are amazing and don't let anyone tell you otherwise


Beautiful. Your high notes are getting better and better!


Will the whole album be on spotify dodie?


this song speaks to me in so many levels


dodie played this song for the first time the week she wrote it earlier this year at her show in jacksonville!! i was there!! wow this is so neat to see!!


"It'll be over and I'll still be asking when" basically me with the US election


doesnt the piano sound kind of like Paux de Deux?


'Memories painted with much brighter ink' got me


like this sounds dumb but
it feels like there are flowers emitting from the screen
filling the air with the smell of fall and warmth and the feeling of being able to relax and that its ok to be here alone and you know that because everyone is alone sometimes and there are other people who get that too


The last pre chorus and musical interlude from 1:54 to 2:50 is so masterfully done, the piano and string arrangements compliment each other beautifully, it's an incredible climax. Dodie, I think this might be one of your best songs, it is so clear as you release each one how you are progressing and maturing as both a person and a musician, and I think it's wonderful. Thank you for a really lovely piece.


I need someone to make a disney movie filled with this and Dodie's other songs


I'm on my 17th time of listening to this song halp but also don't I love it.


I was like yaaas dodie made a new song click on the video then half way through realise I am crying my eyes out


I am ADDICTED to Dodie's music. She brings out a song, I listen to it, great, beautiful, feeling all the emotions then I just play it on repeat for a week, learn all the lyrics and sing it constantly. Thanks Dodie, you are my drug, and I am addicted

Omg same! My name is Valerie. I'm 16. And I'm addicted to Dodie Clark. And I don't regret any step of my addiction.


dodie is the most talented human don't fight me on this


Could you please do a video with songwriting tips?


I keep on coming back to this song...<b>mumblees to extreme</b> i have a problem...

I keep on coming back to this song...*mumblees to extreme* i have a problem...


can I just say how much I FUCKING LOVE these songs? I'm going to love this EP. there aren't enough songs these days that actually have meaning & that actually touch my heart. FUCK I love you


I'm not crying my eyes are just sweating


please please please do a piano tutorial for this


Hello Dodie! I'm such a big fan, and I love how much I relate to you! So I participate in my school's talent show every year, and last year I actually performed 'One For the Road' with one of my friends. I'm a huge fan of your original songs, and I really liked your newest song 'When'! I was wondering, would it be possible for you to send sheet music or maybe post a piano tutorial video so could learn how to play 'When'? It'd be so amazing if I could perform it for my senior year! Thank you♥

Sarah Parkhurst There's sheet music online already! If you look up this song on musescore.com it has all the parts right there for you


Sounds like a strangely grown up monologue by an as-yet-unwritten Disney princess.

+Smish that's really good! I'm super impressed!

BradSk88 Dodie should do the voice of a character in a new Disney, she sounds both like a princess or an angel

BradSk88 THATS WHAT O SAID TO MY FREN IT SOUNDS LIKE A DISNEY SONG

She slowly turned the pages of her old photo album, glancing over the memories from when she was carefree and when hours were lost to the poetic ignorance of her youth. Tracing over the aged polaroids with her finger, her eyes sting with resentment for being trapped in the present. She soaks in the nostalgia, addicted to the smallest sense of sentiment for the past which turns from a willful warmth into an overwhelming sense of abandonment. Her stomach tightens and she screws her eyes closed causing her tears to fall and crash against the dark pages of the album. She chokes back and a small whimper escapes her lips, but it's all too familiar for her. Although destructive and oppressing she does this on purpose. Not to keep herself in a dark hole of self loathing but to experience the chaotic whirlwind of emotions which she is afraid will be the closest she'll ever come to experiencing true love.

LETS GO SPAM WHATEVER DISNEY THINGS WE CAN

Y E S Dodie would be such an amazing princess

It should be a princess inspired off of Dodie


back in March Dodie tweeted "odd question but can you think of a short sentence ending with 'when'" hmmmmmm


She changed her profile holy poop professional dodie is coming people

doddleoddle we have reached the point of no return


Thanks for the recent add, I needed a nap>> love the music, and the people inspired by it.. Peace friend


this song sums up what's happening in my life and how I feel right now,like every has had someone to love but I havnt and I just wish we could go back to when we where young so then we don't have to worry about anything.😢😔


Where there be an actual physical copy of her ep or is just for download??


The 82 people who disliked this was looking at their phone upside down


This song is great, but I've got to say I thought it said 'Kissing sickly sweet guys 'cause they say they like my arse'

doddleoddle this is amazing you are great


Thank you Dodie, this is so beautiful. I am 20 and I haven't done anything in my life. I feel depressed for over a year now and there is no one I can talk to. I don't have a (best)friend and I've never been in a relationship. I'd really want to back to the time when I was a kid, like 5 or 6, when the world wasn't this complicated yet. Because of everything that happened so far, my life is just me not getting close to anyone because I know I will unintentionally hurt them so bad in the end. <br>It's just what I needed right now, someone who can relate to a little bit of my feelings, though it might not be for the same reason at all. Thank you, this helps so much

Emilia Manninen yesss, i always thought about creating an youtube or a blog, but again my fear of failing has always made me hide myself. i just started commenting on youtube, i was never able to expose myself in anyways on the internet. but now seeing lovely comments like yours makes me want to do something. and thank you for saying that I write well, thats a huge compliment for someone who wants to write a book hahaha <br>you're the adorable one here, i even screenshoted your comment cause its so nice and it made my heart happy! hahaha that sounds weird. but its true cause i was having a really bad day so thanks!

itsmemoony awwe wow thank you again. You write really well, have you thought about making a blog or youtube? I feel like you can put inspiration and love in words in a way that's easily approachable for people. It's self esteem but don't worry haha. You're lovely 💕

Emilia Manninen its not rude in anyways, you just made my day by commenting this. like seriously, i feel genuinely happy I helped you by just saying something from my heart. i cant express how great full i am with your single comment, it made me feel like i can do good to people. so thank YOU 💙
and you're not just 18. you're 18. you can be 15 and think you've done everything you wanted or 90 and think you've done nothing at all. don't push yourself down, things and people come at their own time, and Im sure you will live your fullest even if its in a different way than others. so don't worry, im sure you're such an adorable and nice person, who deserves the most beautiful things on earth. Please keep this in mind, coming from a person who has always suffered from low auto estime (idk how to write this, im brazilian so sometimes i just forget the words ugh hahaha) and anxiety and shouldn't be allowed to say anything about how to live your life.
i hope you have a lovely day and a even lovelier (thats a weird word) life 💙 and sorry if this was too much, you made me feel incredibly   good so i just wanted to do the same for you
another big text. sorry. bye. hahaha

@itsmemoony<br>Wow I hope it's not rude of me to come here when it's not a conversation I'm a part of but you are so sweet honestly. Your long comment is directed to someone else but still made my day, so thank you. I'm "just" 18 but it feels like I've wasted my life. Sigh. Anyway, I hope you have a lovely day :)

i understand you. i just turned 21, never been in a relationship, never fell in love. i have friends but i only talk about this stuff with one of them, and she is just like us. its hard, to know a lot of people and see them in and ou relationships, being happy or heartbreaked, and you're just there, watching. i never kissed someone too and Im still really ashamed of this. Im trying to not be and Dodie is helping me so much in this process, on the process of discovering myself. and the people on the comments section too. cause you know, its stupid to think like that, but I always thought I was the only girl who has never been in a relationship. i love in a small town and everybody knows everything, and the tabu of first kiss is a big thing. my teenage years were so frustrating to me because of that and I still freak out when I think about it. I want to be in a relationship but Im so scared to be judge it makes me hide myself. so I'd like you to know that you're not alone, cause for 21 years I felt I was alone and it was good to find Dodie. her life and relationship experiences might be very different from mine, but she somehow is helping me to get through this awful phase Im having. so I hope you find good friends that understand and dont judge you, and dont freak out ok? everyone has a different timing to do things, it will be alright in the end 💙 <br>im sorry about the big text, but im trying to do something new which is try to make people feel better on commenting stuff because i really like to (try) to help by exposing my insecurities and stuff, so they dont feel bad or alone. and I really hope you find love and everything you wish for come true, don't lose faith ok?

This sounds like it's from a musical. OMG pls write a musical. Wishful thinking. But it would be real cool. Bye ily


holy fuck dodie. this is fucking incredible.


It just kills me how music, especially your music, can have this effect on me. I have tears rolling down my cheeks and I'm just sitting here nodding my head saying yes, yes, this is exactly how I feel I just needed someone to put it into words and when someone finally does it hurts because it's hard to accept that this is the truth and this is how I am. I would just love to thank you for putting everything in my head all together into not only this song but all of them. I love you and I love your music and this comment is a mess but I had to put my thoughts here because i love you.


NO I'M NOT CRYING THERE'S SOMETHING IN MY EYE


i'm convinced half of the 400,000 views are from me

and those other 500,000 thatve been added in the past 3 days? thats me


Does anyone know what font it is that Dodie uses at the very beginning of the song?


Dodie can you pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaassssseeeeee do a cover of human by jon bellion please i really think your vioce will suit it


"Hello Disney? Yeah for ur next movie have dodie do the part."


I've been using Holly Clothier's tutorial

Cassie Rosenfeld THANK YOU SO MUCH!1!1!1!1💕💕💕💕💕💕

These are the ones I've been using! They work well enough for me.

Ab (Alternate between the Eb and Ab keys in the right hand)
I think I've been telling lies
Cause I've never been in love
Everyone falls for the sunshine disguise
Distracted by who they're thinking of

I'd rather date an idea
Something I'll never find
Sure, I'll live in the moment
But I'm never happy here
I’m surrounded by greener looking time

   Db                     Eb
Am I the only one wishing life away?
      Fm
Never caught up in the moment
     Eb
Busy begging the past to stay
Db                    E
Memories painted with much brighter ink
     Ab
They tell me I'm loved, teach me how to think

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

I'm sick of faking diary entries
Got to get it in my head; I'll never be sixteen again
I'm waiting to live, and waiting to love
Oh it'll be over and I'll still be asking when
Oh it'll be over and I'll still be asking when

   Db                     Eb
Am I the only one wishing life away?
      Fm
Never caught up in the moment
     Eb
Busy begging the past to stay
Db                    E
Memories painted with much brighter ink
     Ab
They tell me I'm loved, teach me how to think

Ooh
Ooh

I'm sick of faking diary entries
Got to get it in my head; I'll never be sixteen again
I'm waiting to live, and waiting to love
Oh it'll be over and I'll still be asking when
Oh it'll be over and I'll still be asking when


I know this is irrelevant to the song ( which is absolutely beautiful ) but does anyone else think Will looks like Captainsparklz?


I can't wait to see her on a giant stage. surrounded by thousands screaming her name in a sold out show at Madison square garden. I can't wait to see her name in lights and known in everyones head. maybe if I get to be in that giant crowd I can stand there and be so proud of her and how far she had come.<br>we love you Dorothy.

Rashmika k oh my goodness, same here. With dodie and troye. They're both so talented and seeing them grow is so amazing and beautiful. Can't wait to see them move onto greater things. ❤❤❤

MaryAnna Invergo Me with troye Sivan tho it's one of the most amazing humbling thing watching their videos like these and watching them move on to bigger things

Then you're naive. Fame does distract the person from his/her original happiness source.

stormthrush37 Fame may destroy people when they really chase it, but if you turn it the other way round and only <b>get</b> chased by fame its okay - spreading a message in a huge crowd is the aim every singer has

stormthrush37 Fame may destroy people when they really chase it, but if you turn it the other way round and only *get* chased by fame its okay - spreading a message in a huge crowd is the aim every singer has

Why do this tweet actually bring tears to my eyes?

stormthrush37 we can always see how fame can destroy people. but one of the many things i love about her is how it seems like fame wouldn't hurt her or change her.

That she isn't, is what I love about her.

Too much fame destroys people. Go chasing fame, and you change. Check out Janet Devlin's song, "Outernet." We need to be more self-validated, and less basing on worth on how many people like us, and/or are shouting our names.

are we all poets now what is happening cx

doddleoddle I wish you could see the world through my eyes so you wouldn't have to feel this pain. But if you never felt it this emptiness just might feel the same.


This will probally be lost in the thousands of comments that you won't see but I thought I'd still share this:<br>I've only been watching you're videos for about a month and a half and you are 1/3 YouTubers that have had such an impact on me that inspires me to do more and makes me happy when I need to smile. I really can't express how much I feel this way but you really really do inspire me and make me happy and I just wanted to say thank you and I love you and your videos you create💘

UPDATE IM CRYING! I'm so proud of you. You've come so incredibly far.


aww look at happy me from last year.<br>what. went. wrong

aww look at happy me from last year.
what. went. wrong


Dodie, this song hits me so hard. Especially when you say “I’ll never be sixteen again.” I just turned 18 and I’m feeling like I haven’t fully lived my early teen years. I want my childhood back and I feel like I’m being pushed headfirst into an adult world that I’m not ready for yet. Time is moving so quickly. There are so many things I haven’t done and it’s starting to feel like I’m “waiting to live” and “waiting to love” and will never actually do anything.

Anyway, thank you for writing this song and letting me know I’m not alone. I can’t even count the number of times I’ve listened to it in the last couple of days. I love you and your music so much, Dodie. Thank you.

There seem to be so many of us feeling this way in the comments.  I wonder if it's something all newly-adults feel, or if it's somehow just our generation.  Regardless, I feel you, and I hope it gets better for both of us - and for Dodie, too.


IM CRYING AND EATING ICECREAM, HELP MY  TEARS ARE GETTING IN IT


My asexual ass relates too hard to the first three lines and I fell in love with this song from those 12 words


Dodie, you should try doing a cover of "Half A World Away" by Aurora. Its a really sweet song and I hope you can check it out! :)


You should do a cover of a Nothing but Thieves song.


What kind of ukulele do you use? Or do you (or anyone)  have a preference on what I should get? I'm thinking about getting one, but I don't know which one is the best quality

I have a Kohala ukulele, it's just fantastic!!! And it isn't too expensive


24. there's ordinary and then there's you


Please Please Please do a cover of Mercy by Shawn Mendes!

i'm dying for the way the guy looks at dodie


THE. WAY. HE. LOOKS. AT. DODIE. I. CAN'T-


Dodie you should just pack a bag and travel. That's what I did last year.  Obviously you see these amazing things and meet all these wonderful people but the truely healing moments were the ones sitting in my car, in silence, driving and starting to cry because all this weight was just lifted off my shoulder. Because I was so distracted by the pace of life, all these troubles were kind of set free from my mind. It was the best thing i could have done and even though 1 1/2 years of therapy helped me a lot... this was way beyond that. Maybe just think about it
