She's perfect I'm offended, starstruck and lowkey mad at her parents for putting such a perfect person on this earth. She's the reason I have such high standards.

are you icelandic? I never see other  Icelanders lmao

Emily Harfst we all have different definitions of perfect. For some it's   not having any flaws and for others it is the flaws. I can't explain my perspective of perfect, or anyone's for the matter. It's what makes them so.. them. They smile and laugh, cry and get angry. I may not know her personally but for me, she is perfect.

She’s not perfect. No ones perfect. She has her quirks and flaws and that’s what makes her special and that is why we love her so very much.

When you've made a comment like this, it's time to get off youtube.


This is so comforting. I listen to it before bed or when I. Am stressed or getting anxious about life and crap.

@Skylar Song I might be wrong as well :D but apparently the songwriter said its about people loosing their innocence amd giving up friendships? Idk (just looked it up)

@Leia's Art im prettyyyy sure this it's about some revolution, but alright i might be wrong lol

This song is about people being executed and beheaded because they were richer than others.

funny that it relieves stress(though i agree) because its about a revolution and beheading people if you did one wrong move

Another really good one to listen to when you’re stressed is her little White House asmr video

Haha, most relatable thing I've seen all day.  I'm sitting here stressing about homework, trying to escape lol.

Sunny Jim why? Why do you have to be so rude? Our comments did nothing to you, didn't mess with you, so why do you feel the need to be rude? You don't know any of us or our lives and if listening to music helps calms us down then that's what we're gonna do. Please don't be so rude.

Samee im listening to it in bed rn so I can calm down and go to sleep.


LYRICS

I was following the [8x]

I was following the pack
All swaddled in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
To keep their little heads
From fallin' in the snow
And I turned 'round and there you go
And, Michael, you would fall
And turn the white snow red as strawberries
In the summertime

I was following the pack
All swaddled in their coats
With scarves of red tied 'round their throats
To keep their little heads
From fallin' in the snow
And I turned 'round and there you go
And, Michael, you would fall
And turn the white snow red as strawberries
In the summertime


either the editing is absolutely flawless or dodie actually had a secret clone

i think it's the latter, #notmydodie

either the editing is absolutely flawless or dodie actually had a secret clone

*i think it's the latter, **#notmydodie*


This song is about that old story about the girl who was pressured into taking her scarf off by her lover, and when she finally did, her head fell off. That story is in turn based on a Grimm Brother’s fairytale about a stepmother who chopped off her stepson’s head and, to cover up, tied a handkerchief around his neck.

...Not really sure why it’s based on that, but there ya go!

@idroppedmynintendoswitch I thought it was about the French revelation

All the people in France were red scarfs to know that they were on their team.Michale was a person who died he didn’t have his scarf on so they thought he was on the other team so they killed him

I know this isn't about that but I read that story in like 1st or 2nd grade and I was seriously terrified

@idroppedmynintendoswitch? I read somewhere that this particular song has no actual meaning and is preferred for people to think about it how they want

Alicion Ooh that’s actually really interesting, thank you!

Sleepy Actually White Winter Hymnal was apperently written from  ''personal experience''.

''Fleet Foxes songwriter Robin Pecknold revealed to Rolling Stone that his songs are "written from personal experience,” including “Hymnal,” which was about a time when his friends ditched him in middle school. The lyrics might have been about childhood past, but the melody came from a familiar source — namely, Walt Disney. “The idea was a song like “Whistle While You Work,” from Snow White, you know?” Pecknold said. “So it started with that very beginning thing, the first kind of like, melody. And then once the verse was done, it just seemed like it lent itself to the repetition, you know?”


I know you’ll probably never see this, but I’m genuinely in love with you and all of your music and covers. I’ve been following your journey for years now, and you are so amazing. I wish with all my heart that I could meet you, because you’re so much more than just an artist to me. Ilysm and even that is an understatement. 🖤

2.2k likes? Holy crap I didn’t think anything I said would ever be that important ❤

It's Just Kayla I liked this so she can see this 💕

I clicked dislike on accident trying to click the read more button

Oh my god this has over 1k likes.....I honestly didn’t think anyone would notice this

I feel like you expressed so many of our feelings haha 🖤🖤

Just another Jodie OH MY GOD JODIE OH MY GOD OH MY GOD HEY

It's Just Kayla Hope dodie will see this

same!!! I feel exactly the same, I hope you can meet her someday, and I hope I will too!

It's Just Kayla same, but I haven't been following that long but I am genuinely in love with her


i think this song is about how during the French revolution the people wore coats that covered their entire body and red scarves to show that they were part of the revolution and they would walk in a pack but if you turned around the others would behead you and keep walking

late, but thats correct
it was also treason to take off the scarf so another option would be that his scarf fell off and he got
chop chop

I thought the same thing! I was learning about the French Revolution a while back and this song was all I could think about. There were some specific details that fit with the song but I sadly can’t remember them anymore :(

in an interview by indyweek they said that it's about a close-knit group of childhood friends drifting apart as they get older! michael is an actual guy name michael lol and he is one of those aformentioned previous friends. the french revolution theory is cool though, all interpretations are technically valid lol<br>"...that one is just like about my experience when I was a kid, you know, like I had my really tight group of friends. But as we grew up from grade school to junior high to high school, everybody just kind of split off, and everybody kind of changed. I went from like this tight-knit group to, seemingly for no reason, everybody was kind of going their own way. That song is just about that feeling."

@blankroomcereal However, people do like trying to make connections like such. I'd find it more interesting if it was, but alas.

Nah the writers confirmed that it’s “fairly meaningless”

Its about ww1 when they had a truce and how they had to keep fighting after they were friends with the other countries troops

nvm i get it it would be that the scarves show they're part of the revolution and stop them from being guillotined

wait why would they behead you if you turned around?

Where were they walking to? Did they ever get there?

apparently the song has no meaning but that would make so much sense

i read somewhere that the song actually has no meaning behind it. it focuses more on the tone (?) and how you sing it


@happy little raincloud I think she's having a trick on us. If you watch her blurry "twin" in the mirror she does a little head shake thing on notes held for a bit longer. But it's a good truck with that book at the end ☺

Ikkkkk at the end she comes out from behind the camera!!

happy little raincloud this video was both her but i dunno. Probably not


oh dodie<br>you managed to make an ugly lesbian with braces, oversized glasses, a heavy period, proportions that are all wrong, anxiety, ocd and some truly negative feeling circling my appearance feel like a dainty snowflake. i feel beautiful. i feel... okay.

Dodie has inspired my to write a poetry book on Wattpad! Here is one of my favourites:

stars:

many people have
idols
be it a celebrity
or even a parent
but my idols
are the stars
because even long after
they have died
they still continue to shine.

- jennifer

That sounds so much like Valerie Worth! If you haven't already, I recommend checking her out. Here's her poem "Starfish":

Spined
With sparks
Limbed
With flames,

Climbing
The dark
To cling
And shine

Until the
Slow tide
Turns
Again:

Not ever
Knowing
What stars
Are
But
Even so,
The
Same.

Jennifer Park It's beautiful! Can you tell your wattpad name please!!!

oooh what's ur wattpad?? <br>((mine is VINTAGEMOXIE- and i write poetry as well))

I love how dodie is like dodie's own annoying sibling 😅

Hedy wasn't available and also isn't as annoying


LYRICS:
I was following (6x)
I was following the pack all swallowed in the coats
With scarves of red tied ‘round their throats
To keep their little heads from falling in snow
And I’d turn ‘round and there you go
And Michael you would fall
And turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summer time

Sorry if their are a lot of mistakes😬✌

In the original it repeats "i was following the" 8 tumes instead of 6

Domo 1551 dodie sings 6, but it’s originally 8.

*BeautifullyAesthetix * No its definitely 6

I swear I thought it was “like a ufo” instead of “Michael you would fall” HAAHA

I have the sheet music and it's swallowed


I’ve pressed rewind for the hum in the middle far too many times. I LOVE IT


always surprised with what you come up with nowadays. i know you always fault having a "bad brain" but you gotta give it some credit sometimes too when you're this creative. it's a good brain, it just going through its teenage years, having a lot of bad days and being a drama queen, it'll grow out of it. 😁

+TerminallyPerky
yeah, I agree that for some people depression is something permanent and for others it can be only temporary. I had a really bad spate of depression a while back, but I changed my situation and I feel a million times better. So I don't think I have that type of depression caused by chronically low amounts of dopamine in the brain, what you'd call "clinical depression"--I just think I was in circumstances that didn't produce a lot of dopamine for me in the first place. I was simply not happy. That doesn't make my suffering any less difficult, or less legitimate, or less painful. Bottom line is, I finally feel like myself again, and I think I've come out of the dark hole I was in.

I do think I was depressed for a while. I think I've come through now. The scary part is, I know if I have anything like that situation again, I'll probably become depressed all over again; so I just have to recognize when that's happening and make it stop.

Jera Sky (and threaders)
you can "grow out" of depression. Sometimes it's hormonal (such as the teen years), other times, it may stem from the people, places, and things around you. When you change them, your mind will adapt. The brain is amazing. Sometimes depression is forever and can be managed by meds, talk therapy, yoga...etc. But my main point was the word "grow". You can grow out of anything. As time passes, you pick up coping skills and new ways to make your way through life. Depression is showing up at almost epidemic proportions and mainly in teens, or adults who have had troubled youth lives.

I dont know why I posted all this. I felt like the original poster got kinda jumped on. I dunno.

be kind to one another  💗🌟

Jera Sky i don't think you grow out of depression hun

Yellow Paint you don't grow out of it but it can get better by learning how to deal/cope with it

She has derealization and depersonalization, it’s not a “teenage years” thing you can grow out of...

Jera Sky she didn’t write this but it’s great editing

Phanic! At The Disco they probably meant the editing.

Dodie didnt come up with this song, it was written by fleet foxes.


I did this song and the awkward duet for my practical music exam last year

It went so well the examiners CLAPPED FOR US
They never do that

Thérèse Keniry Congratulations (ten months late) : > )


Your accent made this sound WAY better than it already is.


Every time I hear a cover of this song, I'm never disappointed. dodie, pentatonix, and birdy are my faves


So captivating.. Every piece of content you create is beautifully done :) You're so talented Dodie xx


You should make a Christmas album with a bunch of song covers (including this)! That would be super good!


me: i should revise
dodie: *posts a video of her singing with a mirror*
me: what’s revision

me: i should revise
dodie: **posts a video of her singing with a mirror**
me: what’s revision

you british people haha i had to look up what revising was

me two i have three tests and an essay due tmrw and i haven't done ANYTHING

I LITTERALLY HAVE TWO EXAMS TOMORROW AND IM ON FUCKING YOUTUBE


The writers said it was mainly meaningless, but there’s references to the French Revolution and WW2 where people would wear red scarves on/around their necks to show allegiance to the Nazis (ie if you weren’t wearing one you were killed). Either way, whatever it’s references are, it’s a beautiful song ✨


IT HAS NEVER SNOWED WHERE I LIVE BEFORE AND THE DAY THIS WAS POSTED IT DID. THANK U DODIE

Taylor Brine damn where do you live that sounds great it snows all the time where I live


okay but lemme pls ask, who are the 191 people who disliked this gorgeous rendition?!

we sang this in my school choir when I was in yr7 n then again when I was in yr11 (i'm yr12 now) n this was so many times more beautiful than us doing it (n the choir wasn't toooo bad)


chinmayee I just sang this at my choir concert!!

Mine is too, but our director is thinking about cutting it. I’m a bit angry.

chinmayee agaha My choir TRIED to do it several months ago and I think we gave up. But that's hilarious.

Lily G hey my chorus just had our winter concert on tuesday! our freshman choirs and beginners choir sang this together!

We just performed this in chorus today!!

I aint singing this choir, but i am in a choir

T. Blue wait not my choice but the older ones at my school did

Hana excuse me but are you by any chance live in massachhusetts?

we sang this for our choir holiday tour last year xP

Lily G omg. I’m singing it next Tuesday in my choir!!!

ahhhhh! so am I the concert is this monday

what the hell, my high school choir never sang cool indie songs. y'all are lucky ducks.

Omg my choir is singing this toooooooooooo

T. Blue yes I love Pentatonix! Their amazing!

Another girl and I wanted to white badly but the others didn’t know the song (like they can’t learn it or something) and I am quite upset.<br>~Jay D.🌹

~Jay D.🌹

chinmayee So am I, my concert is on the 14th.

T. Blue We all did the more complicated thing. It worked surprisingly well for so many people having to hit the marks at the same time.

Same.  Like everyone, at the winter concert.  Did you guys have people doing the Pentatonix thing with five people sitting, and doing a clap-thing?  We did that while others did a less complicated one with one hand against our chest and standing.

woah we just preformed that song in choir!!!

I've never heard of this song and yet,,, all of you here are singing it. World is really a great place

I just sang it at my winter concert on Tuesday!

what if we’re all in the same choir lollll


Oh those harmonies are like butter to my ears, love it! 🙂


I’ve never heard this song before dodie’s Christmas songs in a minor key and now the major version sounds wrong


Idk why I didn't comment this when this 1st came out but I love how calming your version of the songs makes me feel. It's super pleasant and nice.


I’m singing this with my choir and this has truly been an inspiration! I love all of your music!! ♥🎼


I feel like dodie’s voice is suited for any winter song. She could literally be singing ‘potato’ for an hour and make it christmas feely


dodie talking to dodie is the cutest thing ever! Omg! Well done editing dodie. You are a good bean. 😊 Why am I here in October? Why not?


The suspended notes are such a beautiful touch! Lovely dodie :*


I BOUGHT YOUR BOOK AND I CRIED FLIPPING THROUGH IT


I love Dodie so fucking much. Like, how can you not? She's literally the image of perfectly imperfect and that's what I love about her. And her music is just the cherry on top!


The writer said the song is "lyrically fairly meaningless" and it was more a song to focus on singing.
Fleet foxes had actually hoped it would make people laugh but instead it confuses them. The lyrics are kind of about the painful loss of innocence (like sweet kids become drug dealers later on and friendships becoming less important than trends etc) Robin even said he meant for the song to be mildly uplifting like "whistle while you work" from snow white
So I guess no one died...

Really I always thought it was that's someone died but I guess not

This is very interesting and it made me think, maybe some songs are left meaningless for people to create their own meanings... Just an idea..

Wait i thought it was about the french revolution some one explained it in the official yarn video type thing and in my thought lots of people died

i always had a feeling that they meant the archangel michael? like he lead the war with god's angels against satan and won, so maybe michael falling dead means that satan won? and that ties in with you saying about the painful loss of innocence (i'm not at all religious anymore, but it kinda still sticks w me)

I mean, the writer might say it's meaningless but there are a heck load of references to the french revolution in this. Also, no writer writes something as specific as this without any inspiration.

Thanks for this,  I was wondering as well!

Therese "So I guess no one died..." Short answer xD


The part where you sing 'And there you go' gives me goose bumps every time I listen to it. Beautiful.


I love this! One of my favorite songs and goodness those harmonies!!


I always saw they were in some army or troop wearing heavy coats to keep warm, walking past the people who were hung from trees (scarves of red keeping them suspended above the snow) and then they hear a bang and he turns around and his friend (or himself ) Michael is shot first which turns the snow red like strawberries


Dodie is my most listened to artist on Spotify!♥♥♥♥


That was beautiful , one of my favorite versions of this song !! <3


I love this song!!!, we did it for choir this year and we had so much fun preparing it!!!, you version makes it so much more beautiful though because of your amazing voice!!

Your voice is so sweet.  I love listening to you when I'm taking a long drive 💙


<b>Psst Dodie</b> The lead singer of Fleet Foxes (who wrote the song) said the lyrics are pretty meaningless. He just wanted to start the album out with a song that was focused on singing. He kinda likes how it confuses people.

We sung this in choir last year and this is so beautiful!! ❤❤'


i am too gullible. I clicked on the video thinking "wtf dodie has a twin? there is another wonderful person who is like dodie in the world?"


this calmed me down so much in a stressful day like this 💕 thank you dodie 💜

I love this song, I'd always harmonize to it in the car as well wishing it lasted for longer, beautiful video x

I just got the book today and it's freaking amazing!! It's so well written and it has helped me understand mental health a little more, it's also given me plenty of comfort from what I've read so far. It feels so good to know I'm not alone in doubting what goes on in my brain. Thank you for writing this book, it's truly beautiful.


This is honestly so damn beautiful. Playing it over and over and over.


This makes me all warm and fuzzy inside, perfect for a cold winter evening! ;)


Dodie you have gotten me through so many dark times in my life thank you!!! You’re amazing!!!!


I love this song so much and having u covering it has made my yearrr


Just vocal harmony on it's own is really cool. I absolutely love it.

❤You also are SO very talented both🎵vocally and with editing/producing.
😁Great Job!!!


We're doing this song in choir at the minute and it's one of my favourite things ((well I should say the singers are singing this and I'm playing guitar but I still love it)) it's such a good song


The song is by Fleet Foxes. It's about 4 brothers, and the youngest (Michael) used to bundle up in red coats before going outside to play in the snow but he would always fall or trip in the snow due to all the coats and jackets.


I NEED a disc of Dodie christmas/hymnal music! This was sooo good. I'm obsessed. Thank you! :3


Melanie asked so here it is!

I think of this song as a little frame of a childhood memory - maybe of a five or six year old. He is with a bunch of children, maybe running after the older kids, who just look like a bunch of coats since they are so bundled up. He thinks in his child's mind that the scarves keep their heads from falling off. Then he looks behind him and his friend has fallen and hurt himself and there is bright red blood in the snow. Sometimes a memory like that sticks with you even though you can't remember anything else about it. So Michael is the kid.

Actually White Winter Hymnal was apperently written from  ''personal experience''.

''Fleet Foxes songwriter Robin Pecknold revealed to Rolling Stone that his songs are "written from personal experience,” including “Hymnal,” which was about a time when his friends ditched him in middle school.

And then once the verse was done, it just seemed like it lent itself to the repetition, you know?”
but it's a pretty cool theory :))

Sophia Wilson i am accepting this as fact.

Sophia Wilson <br>I like this. THANK YOU 💓💓

For some reason ive always thought of it as a pack of wolves and the scarves as leashes

I always thought it was about a herd of sheep??

Sophia Wilson this is actually it! Except he had nose bleed

i’ve read a few comments and it’s actually supposed to be based off the french revolution, but i like your interpretation !!

Sophia Wilson that’s a really cool interpretation. <br>I personally think it’s about the French Revolution. Everyone’s making their was to the guillotine, and many are wearing red scarves to show they are pro-revolution, as to not get their heads cut off. then this michael person was guillotined and his blood turned the snow “red as strawberries in the summertime” :) I’m not sure if this is totally right but after analyzing it- this is what I came up with!

The people who wrote it said that they were literally just singing random things and that it has no meaning. But I like what you think, though I think it is more like decapitation than just hurting oneself because of... You know... With scarves of red tied round their throats, to keep their little heads from falling in the snow, then I turned round and there you go

Sophia Wilson I have a similar interpretation except that in my case the kids are in a forest and wearing bright red scarves to not lose each other, and Michael falls from somewhere high and hits his head

Sophia Wilson That's actually what I always thought it was about too


These have got to be the sweetest most pure harmonies my ears have ever been graced with in my life.


This was amazing! I love this song too <3


I love your voice dodie it's so soothing🌹


Why is no one talking about how HER REFLECTION IN THE MIRROR WAS doing different things than her!


The Bookish Babbler Dodie is literal perfection


My choir did this for our choir concert and it was really good 🙉 I also really liked your cover 💕


Oh my gosh I love this song so much and your cover is sooo good!!!


Please please please bring this out in a minor version as well! That was so awesome! :D


O my gosh! I'm doing this in my school Christmas concert! You've made it even more special!

ahhh we’re going to sing this for my acapella group at school ❤


My friends and I did this for a performance and I love it ❤❤❤


Oh my freaking goodness dodie, this gave me chills and made me feel all cozy and warm at the same time. You voice just keeps getting better every day :)) <3


I come back to this like 3+ times a day, I'm so obsessed with dodie's harmonies


this year, i haven't been feeling very christamassy, but this made me feel very festive!!! it's so wonderful!!!


this is so aesthetically pleasing. that you for this✨


This was literally my favorite videos of you I think!! I love the multiple Dodies, the questions and the christmas vibe. Good work <3


This is such a beautiful song and what you've done with it is amazing.


this is stunning!! this was the song that made me first fall in love with fleet foxes ahhhh... also i tried to research what it was about when i first heard it and all i found was an interview with the band where the writer of the song said he had no idea what it was about, they just liked the way the words sounded :p


I love this song! We did it in my choir for Christmas last year in a church and the echo made it sound so magical. Beautiful cover!


THIS VIDEO IS SO NICE AND SOOTHING. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS, DODIE. THIS IS JUST WHAT I NEEDED, OH GOSH…


This is so beautiful, I would actually sing this on church<br>*in

OH MY GOD THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL LIKE I WANT THIS TO PLAY IN THE BACKGROUND OF MY LIFE


this reminds me of pentatonix's version, i adore both of these insane covers!


hey, my school choir is doing this song for our  winter concert!!! thank you for this beautiful rendition! 💕


I did not think I could love a version of this song more than Pentatonix's cover but the rawness of this is astounding.

ajStrongwolf Pentatonix's version is my favourite because I find the backing music and slight echoing quality on Fleet Foxes original a little jarring. <br>I do know they aren't the original artist but I have edited my first comment just in case somebody else didn't.

the only good part of have been hospitalized for more than a month is coming back and have lots of un-watched dodie videos lol


this gives me major goose bumps every time i listen 😍


Omg, I listen to this over and over again since 6 am this morning you are wonderful!!


They play a version of this song at the store where I work all the time (especially during the holidays) and I thought I was tired of it but I love Dodie's version :)


This reminds me vaguely of the Pentatonix version but this is "cuter" somehow. Amazing voice!!


i havent heard this in years and now we are doing it in choir🥰


at first I thought Hedy was in the mirror😂 alsoooo DANG this song is depressing loooool

Rose Barry Yee not really robin pecknold (the songwriter) said that the song "lyrically fairly meaningless"

Actually this song literally means nothing lol

isabella gracie welcome to Dodies channel. Depressing things are everywhere here


I got CHILLS dodie you bring me such joy♥♥♥


I love this song I did it for choir last year it was 🤤


Omg i'm so happy, we are doing this song in my school choir and in these days i'm obsessed with it and it's like you read my mind aaah


this means we get twice as much of good original songs now! :D


hey dodie! i was wondering, your vocals are so warm and i was wondering what mic + DAW you use

i can confirm with 95% confidence (from seeing esp. in her recent mac n cheese video) that it's a zoom h4n with some sort of windscreen (hence the look of a blue snowball)! slightly different from an h1 (which tessa violet uses). can't say as to the DAW tho.

I'm 99% sure she uses a zoom h1 which tbh I don't think sounds great (its fine on computers but if you're playing her stuff through speakers it sounds pretty bad)? I think youtubers use them mostly because they're so portable so if you film a lot in different rooms of your house it makes sense (you don't have to move a computer, soundcard, mic stand etc into another room) but if you were only recording vocals I'd go with like a Rode NT1A or something? Dunno what daw she uses but if anyone has any footage of it in the background I'd probably be able to identify it.


I SANG THIS WITH SOME PEOPLE IN MY SCHOOL AND IT WAS SO COOL AND I LOVED IT AND NOW I FEEL BLESSED :')


This is so beautiful to listen to. Your voice is so magical!


dodie’s just got such a beautiful calming voice


High key obsessed with this video. I am so memorized by your editing and your beautiful warm comforting voice


I got tickets for the tour in march and im SO EXCITED. Love this x


Ahhhhhh fleet foxes 😍 This is a beautiful rendition but I wish you’d have  credited them in the video or description? Anyway hope they get some love from this x


I’ve heard that song in the past but I’ve never actually paid attention to the lyrics… somebody died in this song?!😅

Sidenote I truly do love your voice and your talent


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASEEEE put this on Spotify or something I love your version the best😩😭😍


I love this song as it is but you made me listen to the lyrics a bit more, thank-youuuu!


HOW do you make a song about death sound so pretty dodie what

Eden Gallagher yeah true ahaha but I think dodie’s just has something more coarse than pentatonix’s and just personally I like that more than the original one ahah sorry x

It's pretty already though, like listen to Pentatonix's version it's beautiful


i love this song so much and now you did a cover of it im truly blessed omfg


I don’t know why I love this so much. But I swear I’ve watched it like a thousand times since you posted it.


Love you Dodie! You are beyond adorable😊


I love this song and you just made it so much more beautiful


‘who died?’

me skipping a season in the show and seeing a bunch of new characters

Or if you remember paints channel that is just a skelleton with worms now

or, if you watch supernatural, skipping a single episode


Literally doing this song in music as a 4-piece harmony. I know what I'm doing now hah! Such a beautiful video!


Omg my dad used to play me this song all the time when I was younger and I used to love it and know wall the words but didn't understand what any of it meant but this makes EVERYTHING SO CLEAR! THANK YOU DODIE


I love this simple yet so undeniably magical and beautiful content. ☆


im singing this with my school's acappella group !! it made me so happy when i saw you post this !


The original song was written by a wonderful band called fleet foxes! They're really good and I recommend you check them out, they have very nice relaxing and surreal music and they came out with a new album for the first time in four years. Highly recommend!


i am so happy you covered this it’s my favourite winter song


Dear Dodie,<br>you and your lovely voice and lyrics just got me through an all nighter of essay writing, so just know that I appreciate your calming sound so much! Couldn't have stopped shaking long enough to write without you (and Hozier too) <333

Dear Dodie,
you and your lovely voice and lyrics just got me through an all nighter of essay writing, so just know that I appreciate your calming sound so much! Couldn't have stopped shaking long enough to write without you (and Hozier too) <333


Dodie's voice sounds like angels singing😍😍


The song is so messed up yet beautiful 💛


This is great! Also I listened to it about ten times before I even considered it might be about snowmen.


Very beautiful, thanks and Happy Christmas to you as well.


dodie singing one of my favourite songs is magical❤


this video gives me a rlly nice warm christmassy feeling, i watched this so much in December it just takes me back to feeling warm and happy in bed surrounded by my family and really good food and not having to study ughh


0:46 This humming... It's literal heaven.


My chorus class sang this at our Christmas concert , I had to do the highest soprano of my life haha. Good mems (btw you sang this beautifully as you do everything 💛🎄)


i’m so glad you did this song, one of my favs by birdy!!! :))


I've been watching this on repeat for almost a day now and I do not regret


I am doing an acapella of this in my highschool choir! You've inspired me to try doing a solo version of it though. PS Thank you so much for helping me get through the toughest times in my life <3


Ahhh my vocal class at school learned this song last year (the Pentatonix version with the body percussion and everything) and we performed it a couple times for school concerts!!! This brings back so many memories, really enjoyed this cover 💛💛


NO WAY!!! MY FAVORITE YOUTUBER SINGING MY FAVORITE CHRISTMAS SONG!!! IM SO HAPPY THANK YOU!!!😊😊❤


YES QUEEN COMING IN WITH THE DOUBLE DODIE FUCKING SLAYING THE FESTIVE GAME


Agh, I got tickets to your show in March in Dublin and I’m SO EXCITED!!! Also, could you please do a piano tutorial on burned out? I have been listening to it non stop and I’d love to be able to play it, k thanks bye ❤💿


I. WOULD. DIE.  literally my two ultimate idols collabing would be too much for my poor little soul

Dudes, what if Dodie and Pentatonix did a collab?! 😱

Brianna Lauren The Daft Punk one they did made them popular. So did their "Evolution of....." Videos.

Tbh I stan both Dodie and Pentatonix. There's no reason to compare. They're completely different and that's what makes them special. 😃🤣😁

fleetfoxes is quaking; pentatonix did a cover and i think it might of been what made them popular but i dont know a lot about them :)

Amethyst101 I think Pentatonix is applauding, we don't put people down here :)

Honestly I think dodies cover is way better than the pentatonics.... but heyyy that’s just meee

actually they’re doing just fine with their grammy :)) haha

The original is by fleet foxes but i get what you’re saying


I JUST PERFORMED THIS SONG YESTERDAY AT MY SCHOOLS WINTER CONCERT AAAAH ♡ it was so important for me and now you're singing it I'm crying

Dodie how do you look so amazing in hats?! 💗


Dodie's voice is the most relaxing and beautiful thing in the world


Your version of this song is my fav version. Lots of love xx

Yay! I get to give a quick history lesson:
So long story short, there was a time in France where if you believed in God, you were persecuted and even executed. (See: "I was following the pack all swallowed in their coats, with scarves of red tied round their throats ") So, naturally, people kept their religion a secret as not to get executed via decapitation. (See: "To keep their little heads from falling in the snow.") Others however, such as this specific prophet named Michael, didn't care to hide their beliefs and religious practices. (See: "Then I turned round and there'd you go.") So one winter, this prophet Michael was persecuted and decapitated in front of a crowd for his beliefs. (See: "And Michael, you would fall and turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime.") This song, however, was not written about this story, as the creators of this song, Fleet Foxes, claim that they wrote the song to have no particular meaning. However, there's speculation that there's some relation to this story in the song, because it's too much of a coincidence not to be. And you know what we say about coincidence: The universe is rarely so lazy. 😉

Amazing! Thanks for sharing the info! :D

Hermione Granger welcome! it's the one thing i remember from my crappy US History course last year in 10th grade (bad teacher)! i think because the fact they wore red chokers to "keep their heads from falling off" was striking... also i love chokers so.

Thanks for the interesting history Hermione

Monica persecution doesn't mean it's illegal. there are plenty of countries in Africa and the Middle East in which Christianity is NOT*** illegal, but the people there who are Christian are still persecuted and sometimes killed. also, just google "Dechristianization of France during the French Revolution"- christianity wasn't /illegal/, but it was punished anyway.

***prev edit said is, i meant is not!

loved that sherlock reference hermione. good job

Yeah it's never been illegal to believe in god in Europe

Butterfly Taster it's what I'm here for😂❤

Thank you for yet another tidbit of fascinating information to file away and spook my friends with at a later date

My seemingly vast but impractical knowledge always trips them up

Mie Kirstine Andersen but it also had religious aspects, though this song (apparently) has nothing to do with any of this, it was just a speculation😊

Thanks for this but that Sh3rlock quote at the end was.............painful.

You really live up to your username,don't you?<br>You would make Hermione so proud

You really live up to your username,don't you?
You would make Hermione so proud

Actually White Winter Hymnal was apperently written from  ''personal experience''.

''Fleet Foxes songwriter Robin Pecknold revealed to Rolling Stone that his songs are "written from personal experience,” including “Hymnal,” which was about a time when his friends ditched him in middle school. The lyrics might have been about childhood past, but the melody came from a familiar source — namely, Walt Disney. “The idea was a song like “Whistle While You Work,” from Snow White, you know?” Pecknold said. “So it started with that very beginning thing, the first kind of like, melody. And then once the verse was done, it just seemed like it lent itself to the repetition, you know?”

Hermione Granger also! they would wear chokers/ribbons (usually) of RED to keep them from being guillotined, as it showed they were pro-Revolution!

Hermione Granger I greatly appreciate that.


FLEAT FOXES!!! THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL COVER!


I can’t tell if that was you, your sister, an actual twin or just some other relative like a cousin or something... but either way, this was amazing... 😍


Why does this temporarily cure my depression every time I hear it it makes me so happy I don't know why


Fully thought that was Heddy in the mirror until you spoke. Beautifully done❤


every time i come to youtube (which is very often) I always come back to this its just so lovely


My sis and I adore the pentatonix version but this my friend, has made my life so much better


thanks for plugging this in your latest video! <3 I had no idea you had covered it before


Absolutely delightful!  Love the second you in the mirror.


The harmony in the humming interlud soothes my soul


Literally as soon as you uploaded this it started snowing in Dublin!! Omg the power of Dodie! 😂 Beautiful song btw  😍😍😍


This song has always confuzzled me but somehow I love it so much


I first heard this song when Gareth malone did it but I absolutely love your version!


I’ve never known who Michael is either but I’m sure some lovely person in the comments will enlighten me 👼🏼

There's the whole french revolution explanation, and then there's the way i thought of it when i first heard it which is quite innocent:<br>it's a pack of dogs with cute little red scarfs and michael is one of the dogs who slips or something and then the red scarf falls onto the snow and makes it red "like strawberries in the summertime"

Michael mell my favorite nerd (sorry I just had to)

Melanie Anne Ahern the person who wrote the song has said that it means nothing and that they wrote the chords and harmonies because they thought they were cool and pretty and then just wrote random winter sounding lyrics to go along

Jonathan Monaghan yeah but I'm pretty sure the lyrics are purposefully vague and have kind of poetically provocative imagery (blood on snow and childhood or whatever) so that it could sound cool and other people could decide the meaning. So really it means everything and nothing 👍🏽

I looked up the meaning of the song and apparently it literally means nothing. XD Micheal is nobody.

Melanie Anne Ahern I'm like 90% sure the original artist just wanted a song with pretty sounding lyrics with an ambiguous meaning that can be interpreted differently by different people. I am sure that they never officially stated what the song is about. (Original artist is fleet foxes). Also as far as I can do it has nothing to do with Christmas- but it's on the pentatonix Christmas album so maybe I'm missing something

there's a bunch of interpretations about the french revolution and so on, but the way I see it, it seems like a group of kids, maybe a class with their teacher, walking in the snow in the forest and wearing red scarves to be able to distinguish each other (idk why that would make sense but yea). Michael is a kid that either slips and falls and his red scarf comes undone and falls on the snow contrasting w the white (optimistic version), oooor he falls from a height and hits his head, so it would be his blood turning the snow red (depressing version). or maybe it could be a family w kids instead of a class, in any case in my mind Michael's a kid that either dies or gets hurt and the memory of that is etched into the narrator's mind.

YOU LOOK LIKE AN ADORABLE MIX OF HANNAH WITTON AND DODIE AND I AM HERE FOR IT

I always thought they were saying “and like a ufo???”

- Great speculations! Unfortunately, this beautiful song actually has a rather sad connotation. Here is what I believe the real meaning of the song is.

During the French Revolution, mobs of revolutionists beheaded those (such as royalty -- I'm sure you've heard of Marie Antoinette) who were against the revolution. Revolutionists would gather around the guillotines in "packs" to watch the beheadings. The fashion then was to wear high-collared coats, which may have appeared to "swallow" the individual. Also, I found a painting depicting a beheading scene in the French Revolution. The revolutionists in the illustration wore red scarves around their necks, perhaps to symbolize their loyalty to the revolution. Perhaps "Michael" didn't wear a red scarf or did not support the revolution, and thus he was quickly beheaded at the guillotine.

"I was following the pack all swallowed in their coats" -- someone was following the revolutionists on their way to the guillotine to behead those who opposed the movement. Perhaps this person was for the revolution and was a friend of Michael, or he too was on his way to the guillotine.

"With scarves of red tied 'round their throats" -- the revolutionists wore red scarves to symbolize their loyalty.

"To keep their little heads from falling in the snow" -- in order to keep from being beheaded, they wore the red scarves to show others that they were for the revolution.

"And I turned 'round and there you'd go, and Michael you would fall, and turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime." -- Michael did not wear a scarf or did not support the revolution, and thus he was quickly beheaded.

Hope this helps :) -
This was a comment from someone called Cat Spit on the original! Seems to bare some truth :)

Someone pls explain why all Melanie’s comments get all the likes. <br>Side note I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL

Someone pls explain why all Melanie’s comments get all the likes.
Side note I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL

the song meant nothing acc. to the singer themselves (fleet foxes) so michael could be anyone, or rather no one lmaooooooooo

Melanie Anne Ahern  dudeee your everywhere >.<

Probably the Angel? Idk, because Christianity and Christmas and stuff

I wish I could but I am in no way educated on that subject but HEY YOU ARE SO PRETTY

Lol at first you're like "Woah this is so cool the song is so cute and cheerful and Dodie sounds awesome- like always." And then you actually listen to the lyrics and you're like "Um... Slightly more macabre than I first thought..."


I LOVE THIS SONG (the band doesn’t know what it’s about either they said it’s just gibberish)


This was oddly pleasant to watch and listen<br>I would love two dodies

This was oddly pleasant to watch and listen
I would love two dodies


We sang this for pop and it was amazing and we did body percussion and stuff and it was amazing


Ik this was almost a year ago but my christmas playlist for this year has received a blessing <3


I need someone to make a ten hour version of this


I keep coming back to this video- such great little song!


Please put this on Spotify!!!! Pretty pleaseeee


Turns out you have a triplet because I was singing along with you 😊


I don’t think I could ever get sick of those harmonies no matter how many times I listen to this


yesssss I wonder if anyone considered this Christmas-y 'til Pentatonix covered it. IN ANY CASE, this is a fav of mine, and your take on it is lovely :)


From what I know: the song is about what the lyrics say; there were a few friends who went hiking in winter and one of them (Michael) fell and broke his nose making everything bloody. I think I saw this in an interview with the singer of Fleet Foxes.


I AM OFFENDED!!! HOW CAN ONE BE SO CUTE AND BEAUTIFUL WITH SUCH A GOOD VOICE?!<br>SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME

I AM OFFENDED!!! HOW CAN ONE BE SO CUTE AND BEAUTIFUL WITH SUCH A GOOD VOICE?!
SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME


YES DODIE HOLY SHIT I LOVE THIS SONG SO FUCKING MUCH you've made this wonderful


Y'all I thought Pentatonix would never have competition but this cover is also bomb 😮


I've been binge-listening to this recently, and then you cover it...


I love your voice so much. Love the hat btw


this is amazing i can't stop listening to it even after christmas!! also the songs about the french revolution i think, if you were a part of the revolt or followed it you would wear a red scarf and walk in packs but if you turned around you would be beheaded ye its kinda dark haha


LOVE THIS<br>Forever wondering how you edit these

LOVE THIS
Forever wondering how you edit these


Please make a Christmas album I’ll buy the heck outta it


Yay! Dodie covering my favourite Christmas song!


This song was literally stuck in my head all day HOW did youtube know???


PLEASE PUT THIS ON SPOTIFY. THANKYOU. ILY


I was just watching dodie , and now I’m here to watch more dodie. Very happy :)


i am actually going to cry,,,, i listened to this song (done by fleet foxes) so much when i was really young and then completely forgot about it. there are so many memories of old friends and adventures in the fall and summer camps miles away from home that are entangled in these sounds. now that im hearing it,its all coming back and is honestly so beautiful

this is why i listen to dodie<3


she always does this and i always wonder how she edits it


i’m in tears cause i stan an actual goddess... or in this case goddesses


Your voice is so soft and perfect for this


There are planets and stars in your eyes, there are fires and oceans in your veins. Your head is a forest, your heart is a meadow, and you are a work of art


I’m so in love with this I think I broke the replay button


You should sing Mary Did You Know, I want to hear you do a harmony with yourself for that one too.


Just watched a video from 2015 where you complain about how you'll "never be demi" in your skyscraper cover description, and I just wish you then would have known what you'd sound like now because even though your voice isn't AS powerful as demi's you got THAT SUBTLE VIBRATO GURL AND IT SOUNDS FABULOUS! I notice your progress in voice development and its paying off~


Wow just found this in 2019. A beautiful girl and beautiful vocals


Please give us more Christmas music dodie 😍

Ps. I know this isnt a Christmas song, but its on the pentatonix Christmas album, so it reminded me of wanting you to cover more Christmas song


I looooooove how different the harmonies are from ptx's!!! not to say theirs are bad, because obviously they're talented as hell but having listened to that version so many times, it was fantastic hearing a version that was different in so many ways (but in some ways similar too!)


this is actually my most favorite 'Christmas' songs


This is so beautiful?? I'm literally only listening to Christmas songs, so this is added to the list!!


Awesome cover! The story is about the French Revolution. People wore red scarves around their necks to show they were for the revolution. "Michael" was not for the revolution, so he was beheaded by the government. Hope this explains some of the lyrics! ^^


Oh man I love this song. It’s just so pleasantly strange.


I want to make music with this girl~added to the bucket list ^^


So cute. Two Dodies. The world needs lots of Dodies cos you make me feel happy and uncomplicated everything is easier when you're around xo


the face she makes every time she says 'to keep their little heads from falling in the snow' is a mood in itself


Obsessed with this omg ;; You should TOTALLY do a cover of 'Happy' by Marina! AA


This whole video is just the cutest and best thing I've ever seen on You Tube*. The harmony was REAL !  :)) ❤❤😍❄

(*besides all your other music videos)


It sounds so fucked up lowkey lyrically I LOVE IT AND HER SINGING IS FUCKING GOLDEN AMAZING HELLO THANK YOU


I love this song/band and I'm so glad you love it too


~Lyrics with emojis~🎵🎶

I was the following the (6x) ❄

I was following the pack all swaddled in their coats 🥼🧥
With scarves of red tied round their throats 🧣
To keep their little heads from falling in the snow ⛄
And I turned round and there you go🤦♀
And micheal you would fall 🤕
And turn the white snow red like strawberries in the summer time☀🍓

(2x)


I love you and your music and your hat and your fairy lights and your beautiful eyeliner and your amazing sense of style and you’re supper personality and I think that you deserve all good things in the world.


I think I just realized what is so adorable about your voice. It's like you always have a cold. I'm sorry if you actually do have sinus issues or anything though, haha.


I have watched this every night for the past week, it’s not even Christmas but I still love it! X


This literally is soo perfect.  Can't wait to see u in march


DODIE I FREAKING LOVE YOU U AND YOUR TWIN!


my vocal jazz ensemble did the pentatonix version of this song a few years ago and those of us who remember it will still break it out whenever we're bored and together (like at jazz festivals, for instance)


You look so adorably adorable it’s adorable!


I sang this song with my school choir! ITS SUCH A GOOD SONG AND YOU ARE SO GOOD AT SINGING IT AAA

(We also spent, like, 3 months trying to figure out who michael is. We still dont know)


We just did this song for our chambers (select chorus) part of our winter concert and it was so fun! I hope you had fun making this video and I can’t wait to see more from you ! ❄


This song has so much meaning to me I screamed when I saw the notification
Our choir class last year was OBSESSED with this song, as the highschool decided to do it along with other songs for a performance
Sense than you can tell if there’s a choir kid around, just by playing this song. If you turn it on I can promise you were all going to start screaming along all trying to do the harmonies at once. I was so nostalgic to watch this thank you Dodie <3


I really much prefer her fun little variations on the harmonies. Very refreshing ☺


THE HARMONY THROUGHOUT IS FANTABULOUS. I expected this to be mediocre, but I really loved it.


finally feels like christmas-time now that dodie has uploaded a seasonal song


wow i literally found this song a week ago i love it


I'm doing this song in chamber choir I love it


This is weird and dark and beautiful and I love it a lot


your videos are just always so fucking cute and like beautiful and aesthetic looking I love ya Dodes


Honesty this video is so good even without sound just watching Dodies cute face!!!

Right I’m a straight female but I have a crush on Dodie


You are so cute! I had a bad day, and feel so sad rn, but you make it a little bit better


Makes me wish that me and my actual twin would get along.


I've loved this song since i was around 5.


I'm in love with this 😍 so beautiful! Xx


Dodie! You should do a Marceline song from adventure time, you have such a beautiful voice it would be perfect:)


dodie listening to you singing feels like stroking a paint brush


My ears have officially been blessed brb while I listen to this on repeat for the next 5 years


I showed this to my brother (who usually doesn't like the music I listen to) and he said this was really pretty I'm so happy


this is now like one of my fave things <b>ever!!</b>

this is now like one of my fave things *ever!!*


Omg, rip Michael. Your new twitter theme is soo pretty!! Also Burned Out is my new fav song, I've had it on repeat for the last few days. I have a question, do you know when your book is coming out in Canada? I've been searching and waiting, and I sadly can't order it. Love you!


this was amazing and the mirror thing was SO COOL


Dodie you are so amazing i love you so much


You know how we ship dodie with every girl on her channel?

...yeah, this one was weird.


The song is based off the story the Juniper tree. It's pretty messed up in an oddly beautiful way. One of my favorite stories of all time

That's one of my favorite stories too, I don't know how I didnt see the relations until now


Hey Dodie, fleet foxes are performing at a festival in the Brecon beacons in south wales. I work behind the scenes there. Its going to be lit :)


I'm afraid to watch other covers of this in case they don't live up to Dodie's


if you had a twin there would be too much beauty in the world


Can't wait for your tour next year! I bought tickts to your bristol show this morming :)


i know no one is perfect. but god, dodie i love you so much.


When im high my head and body feels like dodie’s voice


I love this, kind of reminds me of Mary Poppins ♡


THIS IS LIKE ONE  OF MY FAVORITE SONGS EVER


i just gasped SO LOUDLY this song is so special to my heart OMG


I actually like this cover A LOT more than the original


dodie you are such a talented bean i love u so much

My favorite person singing my favorite song.


Used to listen to this song on repeat in college.


The fact that it's starting to snow now outside in the middle of watching is such a coincidence


those harmonies sound so luscious i love it ahhh


I love this but Birdy’s version is  just better, I love her harmonies


Petition for dodie to make a Christmas album next year.


know this song from pentatonix, you did amazing! love it xoxo


History of the song: during the Russian Revolution, people had to wear red scarves (similar to how Jews had to wear the Star of David during WWII) and if they were seen without a scarf they were to be hanged and so, quite literally, their scarves would "keep their heads from falling in the snow"

Beautiful song until you observe the lyrics

Just replying to "Beautiful song until you observe the lyrics". <br>It's the same thing with Ring around the rosie.

Just replying to "Beautiful song until you observe the lyrics".
It's the same thing with Ring around the rosie.

Ireallyreally Hategoogle what exactly are you asking? like, what is it about?

Beth Johansson Well we know since they said themselves it's from personal experience and also a really "nothing song' where they were just playing around. I like the theories though :)

Miranda Darlene Alicion So many theories!! I guess we'll never really know, eh?

Actually White Winter Hymnal was apperently written from  ''personal experience''.

''Fleet Foxes songwriter Robin Pecknold revealed to Rolling Stone that his songs are "written from personal experience,” including “Hymnal,” which was about a time when his friends ditched him in middle school. The lyrics might have been about childhood past, but the melody came from a familiar source — namely, Walt Disney. “The idea was a song like “Whistle While You Work,” from Snow White, you know?” Pecknold said. “So it started with that very beginning thing, the first kind of like, melody. And then once the verse was done, it just seemed like it lent itself to the repetition, you know?”

Beth Johansson I had heard it was the French revolution and the scarves represented their loyalty to the French revolution. But then again I’ve also heard it’s literally a nothing song so I could be very very wrong 😂


ahhh i loved the way fleet foxes sang it but this is even better luv


THIS IS MY FAVOURITE CHRISTMAS SONG YESS


This song was actually created by a group called Fleet Foxes and I Believe that they have said the words in the song don’t really have any meaning they were just messing around with some stuff and just kinda came up with the song ❤ I love your cover dodie, it’s beautiful! I’m really excited because our chorus is doing this song in our Christmas concert 😁


Fleet foxes are one of my favourite groups


This is like a cover with a ghost in a mirror.... so cool.


dodie - who died?
Me- our achita
Every rent head-Evita!


YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!! You're back on this channel! (1 month is way to much for me! ;) ) this also kinda reminds me of seventeen from heathers (the musical) for some reason.<br>Also burned out is amazing! I love you so much!!

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!! You're back on this channel! (1 month is way to much for me! ;) ) this also kinda reminds me of seventeen from heathers (the musical) for some reason.
Also burned out is amazing! I love you so much!!


Holy crap I just sang this song last night for a winter concert and I about fell out of my bed when I saw this


you are such a special person dodie and im really really glad that you exist


my girlfriend sang this at a choir concert last night (she loves dodie) and made me fall in love with it. the irony.


I love your voice so much. Ive watched this like 15 times already <3


I DID THIS SONG YESTERDAY NIGHT FOR MY WINTER CONCERT


Our school had a concert and the choir sang this same song like just a week ago!


this christmas mood is so incredible I think we should just rename it dodiemas


"Who died" our Akita... Evita! This video is great btw and I love the mirror concept :)


this is the best thing i've ever heard in my entire life


I could normally contain how adorable dodie is without dawww'ing everywhere but with that hat...  With that hat it's too much AND there's two of her, wat.  I may have listened to this a lot of times.  Like, a lot.


My choir class is sing this for our school concert Tuesday :)


I love this song! My friend and I sing this and do the clappy part pretty much every time we meet. Now my two favorite artists have sung it :D


dodie, im getting your book for christmas!!

(Yes, ik it's June stfu and leave me alone)


did this give anyone else warm pentatonix flashbacks?? just me?? ;-;


Didn’t feel wintry/Christmasy until dodie sang... now everything very suddenly feels like Christmas.


my grandad was called michael, he passed 6 months ago and now i’m emo again


i literally looked out of my window while listening to this and there is snow everywhere.


I FORGOT THIS SONG EXISTED OMG <br>I used to be obsessed with it

I FORGOT THIS SONG EXISTED OMG
I used to be obsessed with it


This is such a clever video Dodie!! Much love!! 💛💚💙


I did a sing along with the on my channel, cause Dodie is a better singer than me. I needed her vocals in the background. Love this cover btw, it's brilliant and amazing and abso-bloody-lutly perfect🖤


Two days before this video was posted I performed this song!😱


Has anybody ever experienced both ASMR and frission at the same time? Because this just happened to me and it was mindblowing


we're singing this song in choir, and we concluded it was about murder


i luv dodie so much.  gal u inspire my whole life.


dodie: "who died?"<br>me: "our akita...EVITA!"🖤

dodie: "who died?"
me: "our akita...EVITA!"🖤


We’re singing the PTX version of this for my choir concert on Sunday!!

I’m doing it for my concert on Thursday!!! Good vibes dude good vibes

Jay thank you! Good luck on your gigs too!!

Pyro Pals good luck! I'm singing this with the acapella group im in for all our winter gigs, i lov it so much


My dad used to play the fleetfoxes song in the car on long journeys into the highlands (i live in scotland) so it kind of reminds me of my childhood.
It reminds me of mountains like sleeping giants covered in blankets of snow. I'd bring pillows into the car so i could sit comfortably and watch the sheep and sleep a little.
 thanks for making this dodie, i showed this to my dad and he loves it <3


Dodie
The first time I heard this song
Was literally the day you uploaded it
I had to choreograph a dance for it in dance class lolol so weird tho


WAIT, MY FRIENDS HAVE BEEN SINGING THIS AROUND ME FOR MONTHS AND THEY NEVER TELL THAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT A MICHAEL DO I DIE?


THIS IS BEAUTIFUL
DODIE IS BEAUTIFUL
YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL
I AM BEAUTIFUL
EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Ahhhh! You listen to fleet foxes...of course you listen to fleet foxes, you're amazing


who DID die? who is MICHAEL?? what happened??? what a mysterious song

Aah, it's been a little while since I last read it, but the fairytale is called The Juniper Tree!

eli c. Love this explenation too 👌 not sure about the step mother thing 😂 so much for making it less creepy 😂

i always assumed it to be about the french revolution? and that the people that supported the rebellion wore pieces of red cloth and michael for some reason didn’t and got executed

There's a Grimm Brothers fairytale where a stepmother kills her son and reattaches his head with a handkerchief or scarf in some versions so that people wouldn't know he was dead (hence the 'with scarves of red tied round their throats to keep their little heads from falling in the snow). I've always interpreted this song as Michael being the dead boy with the scarf around his neck!

The people who wrote this song didn't mean anything really, they just chose random words that fit well together and sounded nice 🙈 (did my research the first time I heard it) see my other comment for my thoughts on the meaning 😊


You lovely lady, I love you. I hope you know that even if you feel pressure from a big following, we will support your no matter what. Worry if you do, but worry knowing we love you.


I was legit singing this today because it was on when i went into a market


Haha, I just did a cover of White Winter Hymnal as well and was laughing so hard at your intro. Who is Michael?


Aaah yaaas this is sooo beautiful i love you!!!


we did this in my school choir and this is 110% better than ours ahaha


When I saw twin sister I thought hedy was here :( I want them to sing together again 😭😭😭


me? crying? over this song being the best song and the best voice singing it? Yeah.


i listened to this song every day for like two months and it just popped up back into my reccomended and i started to cry oh my god


awesome job stating that this is a cover and crediting the band fleet foxes!


i thought it was hedy back there and then suddenly another dodie popped out and i was VERY confused for a few seconds

Amazing Phantaholics thats her, she just used something called split screen and recorded herself in 2 different positions

Caitlin Morrison does she really have a twin or is that her too..?

Susana Maria ME TOOOOO I WAS LIKE "damn did they film at different times or did they get two of the same outfit???? wot???"


dodie I feel like you would enjoy fleet foxes🌟


-Two people
-Three-part harmony

Is the extra part Dodie or her twin? I NEED TO KNOW!


I haven't heard too many covers but this reminded me of the pentatonix cover of this song


FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF THE TALENT DODIE YOU ARE JUST SO ADORABLE


The day after this video was posted we had snow up here in Manchester. MAGICAL DODIE.


It was something about the revolutionary war. We had to preform this in choir and all had to learn parts like they do in pentatonix. It wasn't as hard as it looks and we did okay.


I love this song so much! No idea what it means either


this is genuinely stunning. Truly. Though please pronounce whole words dodie, following has a G at the end lysm tho xxx


it's funny cause we did this at our chorus concert last night
what are the odds??

anyway v nice cover ^^


oh my god. this is so not a christmas song but this is so a CHRITMAS SONG I LOVE IT


This is my first time watching your videos and i thought you actually had a twin😂


Omg my school choir sang this on our tour!


you forgot to mention Fleet Foxes, I believe 🙈 your cover sounds great, though :)


I LOOOOVEEEE THIS SONG and when I saw the title I died and resurrected and I watched it and died again


This is kinda creepy but totally amazing


It literally started snowing as soon as I saw the notification

Dodie you are magic


the story is about one of the band members. His name is Michael and they just wrote an winter experience he had when he was younger. He fell and hit his head. HE IS STILL ALIVE THOUGH.


I'm coming back later when people have used their knowledge to find out where this song came from! Beautiful as always dodie ❤ my roommate and I are both in love with you and your music, and we wish you would come to the Netherlands :) bye! Xx


this is the most beautiful thing ive heard in a while


Lead singer and songwriter Robin Pecknold (from Daytrotter): "It's lyrically fairly meaningless. As an introduction to the record, (this was intended to be the opening track on the album), we thought it would be nice to start it with a simple jam that's focussed on singing - on the record it starts with a tongue-in-cheek harmony thing that we hoped would make people laugh or something but I think it just confuses them. This is my favorite song to play live, though singing it live is sometimes difficult because the lyrics are so vague. Weird how that works!"

BEAUTIFUL this is in my top 5 christmas song list


this is probably already known, but i think it refers to the archangel michael especially when you consider the lyric "and michael you would fall". like referring to falling from grace.


I really liked the split screen bit in the confessions video, too.


this is so creative omgomgomgomg i love it


Merry Christmas Dodie, and Dodie's unknown and never talked about goofy twin sister :)


Lol, I used to sing this at my after school program in like, fourth or fifth grade, and one of the adults that I would hang around was named Micheal and he was very weirded out.


Missing your videos! Hope you´re okay xxxx


This is cute and a bit.....  i dont know really....   but it sounds really good! Also i LOVE your song burned out its sooooo goooddd!!!!!


Can I just say... whOA THE MIRROR THING IS AWESOME AAAAA


Found some signed copies of your book in the Foyles near my house. Hopefully they’ll still be there when I go later today.


This was uploaded on my birthday. Thanks, dodie lol


The first ten seconds of the vid was my reaction when I first heard this song through the Pentatonix cover of it


Julia Kusik oh ok that's good !! Sorry for the misunderstanding

Emily Kim oh no, don't get me wrong I have the deepest respect for Pentatonix lol dw

Julia Kusik pentatonix and dodie r both great do not compareeeee !!!!


I learn how to play this on uke last week :)


For those wondering, this was about the French revolution


The same night you posted this is started snowing where I live lmao thanks dodie ily + il this


I think this song is very representative of someone's mind sort of getting out of hand. They see all these other people wrapped up in their safe fake protections and it causes the person the see another person they love leave. They followed the pack for so long that they broke and "turned the white snow red as strawberries in the summer time." It's not so much of who died but of that this person feels alone since everyone else seems to be fine in their protective coats.


I tried to explain what the lyrivs might mean, give it a read, it's actually quite interesting :)

This song is about the french revolution and how everyone who was against the movement was executed.

"I was following the pack all swallowed in their coats" -- someone was following the revolutionists on their way to the guillotine to behead those who opposed the movement. Perhaps this person was for the revolution and was a friend of Michael, or he too was on his way to the guillotine.

"With scarves of red tied 'round their throats" -- the revolutionists wore red scarves to symbolize their loyalty.

"To keep their little heads from falling in the snow" -- in order to keep from being beheaded, they wore the red scarves to show others that they were for the revolution.

"And I turned 'round and there you'd go, and Michael you would fall, and turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summertime." -- Michael did not wear a scarf or did not support the revolution, and thus he was quickly beheaded.


THISS SONGG the fleet floxes are so good like damn


i like what you did with the mirror. very cool :)


Nicely done!  Also, you looked like a plastic doll in the thumbnail 😂


I did that song with 4 other people for school and she did it by herself I love dodie so much

Also no one die this song is just a song nothing more


I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE YOU IN CARDIFF IN MARCH I GOT TICKETS TODAY AND I’M SO HAPPY


This is so cool holy heck I love how theres two of you how


This is my favourite song of all time but not many people know it. Such a beautiful version though x

Copper Clouhds i dont think a lot of people know about them; if you happen to live in the pnw (Washington/ oregon area) they originate from washington which i think is super cool!! I saw them in concert a few months ago at the paramount in seattle and it was absolutely amazing :)


the song sounds like the story of the girl with the ribbon, lovely little half nonsensical song that was covered :)

I literally tried to sing this and I sounded so bad and I was running out of breath it was sad

As an introduction to the record, (this was intended to be the opening track on the album), we thought it would be nice to start it with a simple jam that's focussed on singing - on the record it starts with a tongue-in-cheek harmony thing that we hoped would make people laugh or something but I think it just confuses them. This is my favorite song to play live, though singing it live is sometimes difficult because the lyrics are so vague. Weird how that works!"

ALSO I like to think that Micheal is actually Micheal the archangel who cast good ol luci into hell and who I believe later fell from grace, hence the “fall” bit.


I can't hear this song without thinking about pentatonix and doing their lil hand claps 😂


Is Michael a snowman? When they talk about the scarf being tied round their throats to keep their heads from falling in the snow, it makes me think of a snowman's head falling off


Wait does she have a twin or is this just effects? I’m generally confused now 😂😂😂


Theres way too many interpretations of this song, but alot of people say that its about a war/revolution and Michael is a kid who died in the snow. Hence "and turned the white snow red".


DSFADKAO WE DID THIS IS SHOW CHOIR LAST YEAR AND NOW YOU (and your gorgeous twin) DID IT AND AHHHH YAY


I gotta say this because it means a lot to me

I used HATE my smile. I always covered my mouth/face when I laugh. And when I'm happy I try to avoid looking into any mirrors
But thanks to doodie, I actually like my smile now. Because when I smile my whole cheeks lift if that makes sense. Idk I have the same face type as doodie and I absolutely love her and think she's so cute.

and when I noticed the similarity between our smiles and how much I liked hers I thought "hey, I can love my own smile too!" And I did.

And now I'm a little more confident and likable and happier in general. And it's easier to make yourself happy when you like how you look when you are :)
