Teacher: what do you want to be when you grow up?
Me: dodie clark

read that as do for a second and nearly choked on my biscuit

The Modern Potato I'm sorry your name just cracked me up

The Modern Potato I'm a grown up, older than Dodie, and I want to be her when I grow up...


Dear Ella,
I knew you once. Do you remember being friends? Do you remember skating together at the arena everyday? Do you remember sleeping over, and putting so much ketchup on your grilled cheese that you couldn't see the plate? And then do you remember moving away? I started to think about you less, but sometimes my mom would bring you up and we would laugh about all the fun we had. Six years later I met a girl with the same name. We became friends. Can you believe it took us two months to realize we knew each other all along?
I'm so glad I met you again. I'm so glad that we can talk openly about how we feel, and understand each others emotions. This will probably get lost in the ocean of comments, but Ella;
I knew you once. And it was nice. I know you now too. And that's even better.

I come back to this video every year to read this comment. It makes me feel so happy.

@Marc 6 years can change people a lot, especially when you're young

This is so sweet! I’m so glad you found Ella again.

@Marc it was a SIX YEAR DIFFERENCE ppl look very different six years apart plus Ella is a VERY popular name

Why is this so touching.....like literally I know no one named Ella but this is the first comment story that made me emotional lmao

@Just a bit of Junkie  You felt the need to tell this girl, how she was actually ‘always hated and is complete shit at life’. Whether this is true or not—you want to make her feel bad and that makes you a bad person!

@soude85 I appreciate your comment, but I do not understand why you would attribute such a thing to me. Perhaps you are the bad person? Such a harsh judgment of me, I am very sad now. No bully please. That's not very cool of you. I didn't judge anyone at all or even comment about anyone at all. The only thing I had said is that I don't like ketchup. Geeeesh! You must really like ketchup. Sorry

Ella actually does remember you, one of my best friends actually.  Shot me a text the other day after I saw this comment. Said they always hated you and that you're complete shit at life. Sorry. 😥

P.S. Ella had nothing to do with this next bit, but ketchup is fucking disgusting, especially on "grilled cheese". Savages.

@Claire Le Donne Are you guys still friends?

This is so lovely, but I have to admit I got scared for a second thinking this was about me!

this is the cutest comment i’ve ever seen

That’s my name, I came to the comment section and saw this and I got scared xD

This scared me since my name is Ella<br>"Dear ell- wait what"

This scared me since my name is Ella
"Dear ell- wait what"

THIS IS SO CUTE IM GONNA CRY A MILLION TIMES

This made my my heart cry tears of happiness for you and Ella

Marc it was 6 bloody years they would’ve changed

Jesus my name is ella and i just had a heart attack

This comment makes me have hope in humanity

I wish I was the Ella you were talking about 😭😂

At first, I thought this would have a sad ending, but instead I was met with a smile on my face!

PLEASE TELL ME ELLA HAS SEEN THIS BY NOW

this is better than the fluffiest of fanfics

this was literally so nice ❤ i genuinely expected a bad outcome, i'm so glad i was pleasantly surprised and so glad you were reunited with her bab.

omg this is my favorite comment on the internet

What an emotional rollercoaster that comment was

how come you didn't recognise each other?

holy sHIT this is literally my favourite thing on the internet adjdufeinieudnudincd


this comment section is so heartbreaking

it’s just a cluster of regret and apologies and reminiscing

and i’m here too

@artandbrimstone well, I don't know what happened but I wish you the best. I hope you could find comfort in this song and I hope you're doing better now. I'm here if you need me <3

wait this has 500 likes whAT also I'm bACK SHE BLOCKED ME ON everything and I'm sad ha what


i knew him once. he was the closest thing i had to a best friend for around two years. secrets shared, stupid jokes and people against us. the “anti skylar association.” that one kid who’s a furry now. all the times i died in a video game, yelling at him to avenge me. the plans we made for the future. funny, we were just kids. we had no clue what we were doing, but we were happy. i left eventually. i was forced to leave. we stopped talking. we would maybe chat here and there, but fast forward about 3 years later and here we are. together. and i love him. he’s everything to me, really.
i knew him once. and it was nice.
i know him now. it’s even better.

I love how Dodie’s songs can relate to all situations, I will be singing this song at my grandpas funeral. He was like my dad

Yeah, I agree. I hope you’re good now, but I just thought I’d comment because I haven’t met anyone else named Laney! And spelled the same way too. I listen to this whenever I start to miss my friend who moved a couple years ago, we were best friends, he still visits every once and a while, I hope he’s doing okay.


That was so cute at the beginning how Dodie pointed at her decorations like she was so proud 😂 :)

lol she was pointing to the name of her  song ya dink


me: oh man, everything that comes from Dodie's mouth sounds so good

dodie: sneezes

me: beautiful.

me: oh man, everything that comes from Dodie's mouth sounds so good

dodie: *sneezes*

me: beautiful.


When I first heard this song, I thought of my best friend from middle school. We were inseparable, close as can be. Then she cut me out of her life, with no explanation. It left me feeling betrayed and extremely hurt. It really hurt, for many years. This year I finally came to peace with it. Then out of nowhere, she texts me and apologizes. People can change, it just takes some time.

@Somi sorry love we are not friends lol  upon further recollection she actually did bully me all throughout our friendship which is kind of funny

@Syd Smith omg the escalation! Please tell me you're still friends tho

Hey yall its syd from the future. i was just really gay for my best friend and i didn't know. crazy how stuff happens lol

This is so relatable. I know this was 2 years ago but I hope you guys are still friends qwq

I have the exact same experience.... except no one apologized, no one told me they were sorry. Just moved away, and never spoke to me again.


2 things made me cry today: this song, and the beautiful stories in the comment section. Thank you Dodie, and thank you everyone for sharing your light and inspiration.


to all the best friends who are now strangers. you'll always be a part of me


This song came out 2 days after my best friend passed away in a car accident. I know it's a little bit different interpretation of the song but it really helped me figure out my feelings and now I look at the song in a more positive light. I knew him once. It was nice.

R.i.p

I'm sorry for your loss, even tho it's 2 years later.


This is so beautiful yet so unfamiliar, being 14 I've never been smitten or broken.... Or anything for that matter. Should I try it? Is it worth it? Those are thoughts I'm a bit preoccupied to focus on, but of course one day I'll be responsible of a heart, that I will handle like glass. Is that a good thing?

@Dani Albrecht awh i’m glad you can look back on yourself and say that you would have been proud!

i doubt most people can say that, at 18 years old, so i’d say you’re doing a heck of a lot better than most people :)

@Helvetica
Thank you!! I'm so excited about it all!! For Dodie and for life haha.

Also.... you are SO SO right. I think I got whiplash looking at my old comment, I'm really proud of who I am today, reading it made me think that 2018 Dani would be pretty proud of me :). The internet can be weird like that! But I'm thankful.

@Dani Albrecht ahh anytime !! have fun with dodie :D

i’m glad u ended up having a gf, though the relationship ended, it’s still experience! life is fleeting, and you still have a lot of time left to find someone

time passes terrifyingly quickly, doesn’t it? sounds pretentious lmao but it’s kind of insane how fast time passes!

@Helvetica YEAH I AM 😭😭 thank you so much for replying to this!!!

A few months ago I had my first girlfriend and it was amazing- but I rushed in too fast and it lasted a little less than a month.

I’m still a huge fan of dodie and I’m trying to see her perform in NYC this February!!!

Actually reading this comment is making me cringe soooo hard though omg 😭😭😭 calm down young Dani wtf

I know this is an old comment and I'm probably going to sound sappy af, but let me tell you, love is worth it. It's not the sort of thing you can force, though. It sneaks up on you when you least expect. And yeah, sometimes it hurts, like almost everything in life. But it can heal, too. Platonic and romantic alike.<br>So remember to love people, and do your best to love yourself too.

it’s definitely worth it. i met my boyfriend when i was 16, and we were in math class together. at first, he was just the guy in math. and then he quickly became my best friend and helped me get out of a really toxic relationship. now we’ve been together for over a year, and i don’t see us parting. having a heart to hold is an honor, and a challenge. my boyfriend and i have argued and hurt each other’s feelings before, but those arguments make our relationship stronger. i feel so lucky that i had the chance to meet my boyfriend and fall in love with him, because i feel much stronger by his side. so yeah, it’s worth it ❤

don't force anything, if it happens it will happen. The worst thing you can do is to force it

It is.  But only when your heart is happy with it. There will always be risks but that's just something taht comes with everything. It's up to you if the person or love itself is worth those things.

It's only worth it if you are ready and understand nothing is forever. Good luck

the love itself is incredible, when you fall in love with someone, for a while you feel like you’re on top of the world - floating high above everyone else, like nothing could break your happiness, and for a while nothing does. you treat the person with so much care, and as you said, treat their heart like glass, like it’s so fragile and you have to be careful. however, if stuff goes bad, it can go bad quickly unless you’re willing to work it out. you can go from being on top of the world, to watching your world crumbling at your feet. i was recently broken up with by my first love, the boy who has had my heart for two years. merely two weeks later he tells me he likes someone else, and that hurt more than anything else ever has. so, the love itself is incredible, but the breakup can break you. it can make you feel weak, and like you have no worth, and that’s the state im in now. however, for anyone dealing with heartbreak of any kind, as i am, a few words of advice; focus on yourself and your happiness, and remember that people do care and will always be there to support you. i know it doesn’t seem like it, most people feel that way during heartbreak, but people do care and want to help you be ok. and those are the people you should surround yourself with. people who make you happy, not ex’s who move on from a two year relationship before it even ends. not people who will put you down and make you feel like everything was your fault. surround yourself with people who care for and love you and everything gets slightly easier day by day, i promise.

Well, it's definitely worth it. It might end in love or heartbreak, but you never know if you don't try. Being in love is beautiful and rare. Even if it ends in heartbreak, it teaches you to love and accept yourself, to be wild and to try new things. You will learn how to love every small thing about someone and miss it when it ends. But you fall, you feel, and you heal. Don't make it a number one priority, but allow it to happen if it comes along. Life is the mess we make, so go make your mess and enjoy it! I hope things go well for you and good luck in your endeavors!

Well what would you rather have? a heart that broke but is now fixed, or a heart that turned to stone from never pursuing love?

I’m also 14. I’m gonna say this: you will get heartbroken one day, or you might be played or hurt by a fuckboy. But please don’t let yourself break completely because of it. I was in depression for half a year because of a boy, and at this age it’s really hard to handle. It’s an experience that will make you stronger, but the strength you will gain will come with a thousand of tears.

be careful with it because nothing hurts worse than hindsight

everybody here telling their stories and i am just here, startled by how beautiful you phrased all that (but i also think it's worth it)

I've been heartbroken before many times. All I can say is that its a suffocating pain and hard to get over. However, once you move on and find another, you feel as light as a feather.. I guess the pain is worth it when you find someone that's truly yours.

It is worth it even when you are suffering. It makes you feel alive. Love is beautiful. And it's even more beautiful when you first discover and experience it.

I think it is worth it... because even if it ends in heartbreak you learn so much about yourself.. being smitten is fun too, and it can all be so exciting! I've gotten my heart broken as well as some of the other people in these comments, but each one of those people have taught me a small bit about myself, and if that means I'll be sad then I would risk it lol

It's a unique, and often bittersweet happiness, but I think worth it. How do you know you're happy if you've never been sad?

They might be, they could be hell. Don’t fall in too deep.

ADONIA NUHA everything that you do is worth it. Even if it is all just bad memories, it builds your personality and makes you stronger. You'd never see the light without the dark

Its not worth it . Or maybe it is . You shouldn't take advice from another broken heart tho


I knew a boy once...He was my best friend, and I loved him. I really, truly loved him. I saw myself marrying this boy, and living together. But sadly, he didn't feel the same. So as time passed, I fell less and less out of love with him romantically. I started to love him in a different type of way that I can't really describe. If you had a soulmate for a friend, he was mine. He was my friend soulmate. He was kind, he was stubborn, he was funny, he was talented, he was anxious and depressed, he was a boy who didn't feel like his light was bright enough in a world of dark. But I knew better; he was a ball of light in my darkest days. However, as time went on, we got into more fights...We faced harder challenges...We didn't talk as much...We along with our chorus went to Rome, and I told him the truth about our so called 'friends' and how they had been bullying me subtly for the past year. He told me to talk to them. I said no, because it wasn't worth it. Eventually after him saying he would take care of things if they went badly, I did. Those 'friends' attacked me in ways that didn't wave bruises on my body, but scars in my heart. I told him what happened. He broke his word, and didn't say or do anything...He was a boy who didn't like making decisions. He was a boy who didn't know how to be mature and chose when to do the right thing. He was my best friend, and I wanted him to stand up for me or at least acknowledge what they did was wrong. He did neither. He was a boy who I screamed and cried over, because no matter what I said, it was somehow my fault and he was the victim. He had a choice to make. Either  fight for me and tell them what they did was wrong, or lose me. He was a boy who had to make a choice, and he didn't like the outcomes of either choice. So I made the decision for him, and I left that kind, stubborn boy. I knew him once, and we told each other everything. Now, I just watch him laugh and smile with those who were cruel to me, and try to hide the tears.

I know this was posted a year ago, but I wanna say I am sorry to hear that about you and I hope you get someone new who would treat you right because nobody deserves to be treated like that!! ;;

Lyssie The Anime Reader I have had the same thing happen to me

Gretchen Schneider <br>I'm so sorry you went through this...It's agonizing to watch the one person you trust with everything walk away, and look at you like you're nobody. You can't help but think 'Hey don't you have these memories too?' I know how that feels completely...I also tried to reach out to him, but I realized that he would never change no matter how much I wanted him to. He made me feel important, and I know she made you feel important as well. That can be hard to deal with; having to get used to not having that person in your life. What I wrote happened three months ago, and while I'm still grieving, time does heal things...That's all I have left of him as well, memories. I can't bring myself to get rid of the pictures we took together, or the gifts he got me, and I wonder if he still has the things I got for him. I don't see him anymore, I can't even check to see if he's okay because his mom blocked me on her Facebook. I can't see how he is or anything of the sorts...I'm sorry that you still see her every now and then, as seeing a person just...Almost makes things worse in a way. I remember being the person he would always talk to no matter what, and how he would tell me his past. There are a lot of things I still remember despite the time that's passed by. It took me a while for me to realize that it wasn't my fault as well. Some people are leaves in our lives, some are branches, and some are roots. I was hoping he would be a root, and I know that you hoped she would be one for you. Life doesn't work that way sadly-although we wish it did. I'm so sorry that you've gone through something similar to my situation, and that you're going through so much pain. But what I can promise you is that time will heal the pain you're going through. Trust won't come as easily to others, but I promise that life has something better for you (as cliche and cheesy as that is) I'm happy to know that my story got you to embrace what you're feeling-trust me, I sometimes mask what I'm truly feeling with happiness, saying that I'm fine all the time. What your friend did was awful, and again I am so sorry that you had to deal with this pain. I know those memories still hurt you, and I'm sorry that the pain hasn't eased yet. Also, no need to apologize hun! I'm happy that you shared your story with me and the rest of the comments. Sometimes it's good to let that sort of thing out in the end. The same goes to you; this world is absolutely amazing and big, and there are plenty of people who will accept you just the way you are, and will love you. I'm sorry you're in pain right now, but I promise that with time it will come to pass.

I am so sorry that you had to deal with a betrayal of that degree... I went through a pain similar, but I would say yours probably left more scars than mine did. I had a dear friend that I trusted my whole world with. I looked up to her more than nearly anyone and, at the time, I could never imagine my life without her. She was quirky and gruff but always knew when I needed to be loved on or when I needed to laugh. She made decisions that seemed to hurt her in the long run, but we could always share our troubles and mistakes with one another. I loved her. Even if it was not a romantic love, I loved her with my whole heart nonetheless... Unfortunately, I found out that my love was not enough for her. I found out she held feelings within her aching heart that I just didn't return. Instead of talking to me, telling me those words to my face, she found someone else who could love her in the way she felt she needed and allowed herself to be swept away with them, leaving me in the dark as if I was nothing.

I reached out to her a multitude of times, trying so hard to ignore the fact that she was abandoning me. This girl, who had brought me to believe for a time that my feelings were validated to a certain degree and that someone cared about my wellbeing, spoke to me as if I never meant anything to her... Instead of standing up to me and declaring her reasons for breaking our friendship, she dissipated completely from my life without a single word. The only traces she left were the small bits of memories in the mementos she left with me and the ache I feel in my heart that I mask with rage when I see her. The agonizing pain I still feel within the depths of my being when I catch her eyes randomly when in town to only see the look of someone who has laid eyes upon the last person they would ever want to see. I can still remember the times she looked at me with this light within her eyes like I was one of the few things that brightened her day... Where did that light go? Where did our light go? I wondered for so long of what I did to ruin our friendship. It took me even longer to realize that it never truly was my fault because the thought that she left purely on her own accord instead of me pushing her to the edge hurt all the more.

With all of that dramatic dialogue put out there,  I just noticed your comment on this beautiful song and saw myself relating quite a bit. I am not one to just write out difficult stages of my life like this out for the whole world to see through a screen, but your comment inspired me to kind of think back to those memories and allow myself to feel the sorrow instead of pushing myself to be so angry about it to mask the pain. What your friend did was truly horrible. If you claim to love someone as dearly as he seemed to towards you, I believe that he should have stayed by your side or tried to talk to those 'friends' of his about it if he needed proof of his own to truly believe that they committed this act of damaging behavior. I am so sorry that you have to feel that heartache and that you have to keep those memories of betrayal with you. I can bring myself to understand how hard it is to trust after something like that... And, if this whole big thing is unnecessary and just kinda dramatic, I'm so sorry! I just felt the need to personally let you know that, no matter how alone or hurt you may feel with the world around you, the world is so much bigger than we all make it out to be and it is filled with people who may come close to understanding our pains. The community that Dodie's music has created is a perfect example of that! If you read all of this, thank you so much and you totally deserve a medal for reading all the way through this! XD

Book queen <br>I'm so sorry that happened to you hun...I completely understand what you mean, him being a different person around you compared to when he's around others. It feels like you don't know which is the real person. But regardless, I'm sorry that this was the result and that you put a lot of trust in him. But at least it's an experience. Hopefully you'll find someone who is even more comforting and nice, and you'll have a closer friendship with them even compared to this one.

What I went through is nowhere near as horrible as this, but I had a friend who was a boy and we talked through Snapchat but never in person, he went to my school. He wasn't nice. Not in person, my friends and everyone hated him. He wasn't popular, he wasn't funny. He was mean and inconsiderate. But when it was just me and him, I don't know, it was different. He likes me, a lot, or liked me, but I can't be with someone like him and he makes these promises that he'll be different, nicer, kinder, more like him.
But these promises never happen, we don't talk any more, he's talking to another girl now, and they're serious.
It felt like this song describes, I've told him things not even closest friends know, and I've trusted him.  He trusted me too, I was never looking for a relationship, I turned him down but we both know that we were always more than friends.
I don't know. It's been difficult, my friends don't know, and wouldn't understand.
I think I loved him.


i knew u once
i knew u twice
but love aint cool
and love aint nice

@Trang Hà I'm glad to hear you're doing so well, and also congrats to you and your bf still being together, you sound like someone I aspire to be someone one day!
Also your English is perfectly fine (I assume you're a fellow Vietnamese), and I'm glad to hear you seem to have your life back together!! Happy to hear your mother's doing well, I'll definitely have that K-drama checked out! Hopefully your relationship with your dad will get better nonetheless, no matter how it turns out, I wish the best for you and your family <33

Also you seem to have a great taste in both youtube channels and books!! Also hopefully no one scams or sends you dick pics after this comment oops ;-;

I actually saw this comment a while back and only decided to reply after 9 months just to hear updates from you. I'm going through so much, both love wise and just life in general, people really be out here breaking my heart oops. Seeing how you're enjoying everything, I can only wish the best for you and me both <33

Alright, cya around, maybe 9 months later, here?

@_joied woah. thank you for replying to my comment. I remember the last time I was here. 9 other months have passed. I’ve been through quite a few things and also I am still with my boyfriend! I’m only 18 so I know I havent experience life enough. but ever since I keep a grateful attitude to life things are a lot easier to handle.
Basically bad things doesnt stop coming to me, eventually I realize that its not about the “thing”. But its all about the way we think about it. If we think about it as good, then it is good, if we think about it as bad or horrible, then its just that horrible. It sounds bullshit at first but it really is.
When I wrote the very first reply to this comment, I never knew I would come this far. At that time I was heart broken, and felt like there were no one that wants to be with me.
Now, though Im not heart broken anymore :), but I know even if I broke up with this boy Im dating right now, eventually I’ll still be fine, it may hurt a lil bit at first, but things would come in place still. I know that before I love anyone else, I need to respect myself first.
Okay so thats enough about my love life lol. Idk how to portray it, but to anyone who reads my comment, I hope you found love in yourself.
The next thing is, I’ve learnt that I need to control my feelings. I imagine the anger feeling in me as a monster, the more I try to tame it, like hitting it or trying to cut its head off, the more things wont work out. Instead I’ve learnt that the best way to do this is to live with it, to gain repect from it, to tell it, gentlely, that I am the one who in charge of things, not it. I was a short-tempered person, and now I still am, but Im on a journey to not be like that anymore =))
The third is, I learnt that criticizing, judging, bashing, or any of that kind, is not okay to do. I read about this from Dale Carnegie.
The fourth, I think I would tell strangers on the internet about my life. I’ve just spent nearly a month in the hospital to take care of my mom. She had to cut off completely her uterus because of uterine fibroids. There were moments that we felt miserable and hopeless, but now she’s recovering and we’re back to our home. We watch Kdramas and have a lot of laugh together. I recommend watching Reply 1988, its a very good series.
Also Im not getting well with my dad. My parents divorced 5 years ago but now he still talking and be all spicy about it. I would not say he’s a narcicist but he can always throw a tantrum for know reasons at all. He doesnt know this but once I went to college, I want to get as far as possible from him. But thats my secret, I know that thats a bad thing to do and its likely that I would never do that or have the audacity t do it. But still, I hate and love my dad at the same time.
Kay so I’ve learnt a lot. And I dont think anyone would read this comment, since its pretty long and its not really interesting to read. I recommend these youtube chanels:
Ana Psychology
Lana Blakely
I learnt a lot from these two girls.
Im sorry for my broken English and if anyone really read the comment till the end, I want you to know that I really appreciate it! :)
If you need anyone to talk to, I promise you can find me as I will listen. Provided that you promise not to send dick pics or want to scam me.
Have a nice day! And wear masks!

@Trang Hà would love to hear an update from you rn <33

Keith Brown
 thank you for replying to me. its like a reminder how sad and frustrated i was 9 months ago lol. i dont exactly remember what happened to me at that moment, but now im much better, much much better. its not like things finally easier for me and get into places but i feel so grateful to live and experience life.
Also i found someone who adores me and we care for eachother and i know it sounds cliche but we didnt really clicked right when we met but now he is the best person i’ve ever met. he still has flaws - not like i see him in a perfecto way or anything. but we grow together and we learn to embrace out flaws one by one.
idk how this turns to a rant but
yes it does hurt. but thats how we learn to heal. Now im like, 100% heal lol see you i got from the bottom
 let the rain a reminder to us how flowers bloom.
and its a journey, too. you’ll find love along the ways where you go.
and its beautiful. thank u my dumb past self and thank you everyone. thats the end of my ted talk.
i hope you find love right where you are btw. it may sound bullshit but when you finally tune in with yourself you’ll see life so much more meaningful.

@Trang Hà most everything is easier than love, isnt it? but its worth it.


(You can ignore this, sorry)

I know that she won’t see this and I usually never ever comment these things, but Jordan. You were the best friend I could have ever had the opportunity to have met. You lived in Fort Lauderdale and was my neighbor when we were younger. I can’t get that image of you dancing in the sun showers one beautiful warm morning out of my head. It was the first time I saw rain and sun together and you fit so perfectly with it all. Every time I think of sun showers I think of you. You were so aware and intelligent and such an incredible ballet dancer. So blessed to be yourself, you were so mellow and just melted like the perfect smear of paint in a sunset. You were perfect in my young eyes. I don’t know who you are anymore but I hope if I see you again you’ll be the warm wonderful person you were. Thank you for the moments we shared playing pretend in a blindly perfect childhood world. I went to visit your house last summer, but you had moved out. It looked like the life torn from it and it was just some other beige house on the street. The same road I stood barefoot on with you as I watched you spin and twirl and dance was all gone but still scary to think it’s all there. It happened and it happened there. Just in another world and lost in time and our minds. I hope to talk to you soon if time gifts us that.

im probably not this person, but my name is jordan, and i bet whoever it is thinks about you too. keep your head up or your crown might slip

you are the floridian hurricane called Poet, you and this song. i hope your bittersweet has found its place.

wow. i’m gonna cry this is so beautifully written and my heart aches for you. <3

Precisely A Mess that made me cry it's so sweet but sad


did anyone else notice she was about to cry

As a poet who often cries after writing poetry, I say this is expectable


I was really expecting the line
I knew you one
but never twice

This comment almost made me cry, it would have fit well for my situation


Dodie I implore you to add this to Spotify because I’m crying to this song


Did you know if a song is your alarm you will hate the song.

Something about it just makes my heart ache a little I love it.

I want the humming to be my ringtone. It gets my attention cause of how pretty it sounds, but it's not an obnoxious bbbbbbbbbrrrrrrrrrrrring or pop song beat. Nice sound, one I'd like to share with the people nearby

@***** Just get it out there (I agree btw)

Tessa Violet true it's the best part of the song !

Tessa Violet Agreed! For me, it gives the song an almost funeral/memorial feeling to it (which sounds bad to describe that way but is actually feels really comforting in its closure, like rain when you come home or hot tea with tears).

I don't know what I'm saying anymore but YE like THAT. God, I needed this.

Tessa Violet hmm wonder who did that magnificent humming?

Tessa Violet so satisfying. Almost felt it vibrating in my chest haha


i see other people doing this, so i thought i’d give it a try. here goes.
dear anna,
i knew you once, in sixth grade to be exact. i remember having sleepovers and staying up late without our parents knowing, just texting and talking. i remember you comforting me through facetime when fights would break out, and me comforting you when things would happen. we had one year. one year of silly nicknames and crazy experiences, but then it all ended. we drew farther apart, you wanted to be with the “cool kids”. you wanted to be popular. so, you ditched me and all my friends. you left me in the dust for the popular crowd. now we’re in high school, we haven’t talked in two years. we avoid each other, rarely make eye contact. so yeah, i knew you once.


I knew you once. You had a weird name that I remembered the first time you told me, which doesn't happen often.

You were one of the few people who could handle me, which is quite the feat considering how much of an obnoxious, anxiety-filled ball of energy I was at the time. I'd make jokes all the time just to be able to see you smile. Your laugh was sweet, contagious, and fluffy like marshmallows, and I wish I could hear it every day like back then.

I remember the day we spent riding and nearly crashing the golf cart and singing out our favorite songs. I remember when I went to your family's farm and we skipped around in the woods barefoot, holding hands. It's weird to think we were fifteen when we did that.

You cried into my shoulder, and I cried into yours. For a couple years, I woke up every morning thinking that everyone hated me and wanted to see me dead, but there you were, proving me wrong every single day. You were my light, my sun, my reason for living.

But I transferred schools, and I heard from you less often. We haven't talked in a year now, and I just want to know: do you still love reading? Do you still love music and singing? Do you still obsess over books and tv shows? Do you still wear the necklace I gave you? Do you still love dancing in the rain? Do you still consider me a friend?

I don't know how to start, so this is my beginning: hi, you don't know me and i don't know you. So i'm sorry if i'm offending you. <br>You seem like such a nice person. I'm really sorry to hear you aren't in touch with her anymore. I just wanted to say, maybe you can write her again. And maybe (i know this sounds weird) write her a letter if you know where she lives. You are so good with words and you write just the right things. And if it was like in you text i bet she's going to be so happy to hear from you. I hope i may have helped. And if not, i'm sorry, but i just wish you the best. Good luck♡

lost someone i loved with all my heart, and this was the last song we listened to together. I am still heartbroken.

biancalankasings I’m sorry. I know you only posted this a few months ago but I hope ur doing better now


Laura, I knew you once, and it was nice... until it wasn’t.

We were best friends, ones who shared not only a birthday, but our lives. We grew up together, and we helped make each other the people we are today.
We were practically glued at the hip for eight years, but after five of those fun filled years, I noticed how we didn’t have the same friendship as all the other kids. Other best friends were equals, and they had balance, but in just second grade, I was forced to evaluate our friendship. I saw that I was always giving while you only took.
Over time I gave up more and more important parts of myself; my independence, my freedom of speech, my opinions, my knowledge, my confidence... my freedom. You talked me down and I would just build you up more. I gave you kindness, companionship, mandatory gifts, and too much of my time, while you presented me with self doubt, loathing, and pressure. Pressure to dress and act differently to satisfy your twisted idealism. I changed myself for you.
By fourth grade, I knew that things needed to change. I strived to confront our toxic relationship, but I was met with turning tables, hurt, and false accusations. I finally admitted to myself that I was no longer loyal to you, that I hated you.
Now that I finally knew it, fifth grade was torture. From simply faking my agreement on your heartless opinions, to the time you physically backed me into a corner and tried to make me feel ashamed of who I was. Who I still am.
I got lucky when our paths split in middle school, and I tried my hardest to forget those eight years, but I soon came to the realization that I wouldn’t change them. Your negativity may have left me with depression, and my own blood on my hands, but you also ensured that I never treated anyone the way you treated me. To this day, I apologize for things I didn’t do, simply because I can’t stand the thought of making anyone as miserable as you made me.
I knew you once, Laura, but it took me a bit to learn more about you and who you truly are. Now, many years later, you still don’t know how I feel about you, but you don’t need to; I’m done wasting tears on the ‘best friend’ I thought I knew.

omg. I'm not that Laura, but I'm crying so much 😭


dodie, as usual, your music connects with me.

i had a friend who i unfortunately had to stop talking to in december. i'm devastated.

i miss her more than anything in the world. she was my She. i love her and would do absolutely anything for her. i hope oneday she can be in my life again.

i knew her once, and it was nice.


2018 and after all these years, i shed my tears again when her images flashes back,,


Not something one should be listening to when missing someone... <b>sigh</b>

Not something one should be listening to when missing someone... *sigh*


"silence was comfy, without having to try"

honestly if u find anyone like this (which is so rare) , they're someone you want to be with, for life.

i found a best friend like that but i don't think she wants to be with me how i wanna be with her

guess what? turned out she didn't feel like that :)

My cousin/best friend/sister will be my lifetime partner in crime. She's the best

I found someone like that.. and he chose to give up on me

I have literally no social cue so I don’t know when silence is uncomfortable, and anyway I always find something to say. So it’s not that rare for some people I guess

well my ex isn’t the best to be around anymore so I can’t really have her in my life.

Well of course I want to spend my life with my dog

Ruby Reloaded I relate to that line in the song but the person who I relate to it with I’m totally in love with and he has a new girlfriend....

Imperfect Fangirl go listen to : would you be so kind because that's how I feel with another person I know after this happend to me

I knew someone like that once. And it was nice.. Ironically.

yeah, I found him. he doesnt feel the same though :(

Ruby Reloaded I mean I'm like that with my cat??

The person that I had a comfy silence with, is now gone.
Yeah, we are still friends but now the silence is awkward, I just stopped trying to just have the comfy silence back.
Sometimes things are just not meant to be

I did have a friend very similar to that until, well.. something happened..

Ruby Reloaded literally all my best friends

Silence was comfortable with my ex but we were so toxic for each other

If i was in a relationship with dodie.... i would be so careful not to fuck it up...

I have friends like this. Does that count?

I found someone like that but we won't see each other after summer. its sad aha

I mean... I almost feel like I should feel lucky now, but most of my relationships are like this? My friends and I could spend hours just doing nothing tangled up on a couch together. Somehow I feel like this might be why I find the need for romantic relationships confusing.

Ruby Reloaded I don't get it..what does that mean..

They decided they didn't want to be in my life. Believe me, I wanted them to be.

I had this... but now for some reason (which I do not know) they barely talk to me. We were just getting to know each other and it was like this but I guess they decided I wasn’t a human that they liked so they dropped me and my heart. It’s now shattered 😢💔

I had to move city. She had to move country. Sometimes it just doesn't work.

i cried for hoyrs after listening to this the guy who i used to swap smiles with used to have comfy silence and used to know. bailed and broke me and know all i have it broken smiles awkward noise and a stranger

Ruby Reloaded Sometimes it leads to regret. The silence had been comfy once.


I knew him once — the prettiest, goofiest dork you’d ever meet. a kind smile, red hair, more freckles than stars in the sky. his cheeks would get rosy and pink, even inside with the ac on. he made me happy for 2 years; and then I broke his heart. entirely my fault, I understand now. I’m a better person now, and I wish I could talk to him again, but every message I send doesn’t deliver.
yes, I knew him once, and it was nice.
I’m sorry, Andrew. I hope you’re doing better without me, and that high school treats you well, love. 💞 you were the first person I fell in love with; I will always be in love with you.


Okay and know I’m crying because this is exactly something that happened to me omg


I kind of want to share this with my mum on facebook, but I still wouldn't get a response and I would still be sitting here, crying


I fell in love with a girl. Was too much of a coward to say anything. We were best friends, I trusted her with my darkest secrets. She destroyed that trust. Turned into an entirely new person. This song fits everything so well and listening to it breaks my heart.

What happened Zoe?


This is truly TRULY <b>insert every synonym for amazing</b>

This is truly TRULY *insert every synonym for amazing*


This song reminds me so much of my best friend and I. Every day I wish I could have the chance to speak to her again. Just once.


this song really comfort’s me in a way that i didn’t expect. it made me a little more joyful.


I knew a girl once. We became best friends quickly at 8 years old and were friends on and off for years. A couple of those years we didn’t talk to each other at all but eventually we came back together and were friends again. Yet still she cut me out of her life due to something very small and it made me feel so bad for ages. It’s been months since we’ve spoken now and I don’t even know if I’m going to see her ever again. We’re not as school anymore and her family has moved away. I feel such a strong nostalgia over all our memories but I still see all her manipulative behaviour that hurt me even as an 8 year old. Right before school ended I was given a chance to reach out to her. I told her I hated how things turned out between us. She agreed and said she missed me. I missed her too, I nearly cried but still even as I was the one to extend a hand she pulled hers back as quickly as she pulled it out to mine. I knew her once and I’ll never forget the great times of friendship we had together but I’ll always remember the hurt I carried with it.


Love you kiddo keep singing always singing emotionally well


derpydanhøwell anybody knows guitar chords?

derpydanhøwell I think someone figured out the chords. Just kinda dig through the comments. It's in there somewhere

derpydanhøwell funny . . . the phandom is everywhere

Addict With a Uke not all heroes wear capes. Thanks so much dude

derpydanhowell besides the little bridge, the chords are (in order) D, G, A, A7, D. I'm trying to figure out the bridge now haha :)

does anyone think i can try this song on a piano? btw i just started learning and my friend's leaving in three weeks so i would like to sing this to her

look up chordify. way better than ultimate guitar :)

It's most likely that she's strumming G with one finger (thumb) first and CEA with three fingers (pointer, middle, ring). (see a love song/non love song strumming patterns in vids :) ) good luck!

Hm, alright.. But um, I'm rather new to the ukulele, and I can't quite figure it out.. It almost sounds like a mixture of plucking and strumming? That confuddles me. Any suggestions? (;

@MarbleGray strum patterns aren't usually notated as it's something you can just listen for or interpret yourself, this one is already pretty simple and with how slow the song is you can easily switch it up to however you want and keep in time :)

derpydanhowell there's chords up on UkeTabs you can view from basically anywhere except the UK

lol I have no idea what a tenor is and stuff I just search it on Google write it down in a way I can understand it and start practicing cuz I suck at reading music

Sam Turtle what's weird is almost all of the chords look like standard concert uke fingerings, but the neck is way to long to be her concert.

Nancy Eves yeah I just got really confused with the baritone ukulele for a bit, I saw a minor but I didn't hear one xD again, I need to get back to my uke soon!

Lily Talks/sings also I'm aware there's other chords I didn't mention I just noticed D G and A first just to give people a starting point

Lily Talks/sings yes the chord shapes are different but they use the same notes therefore they sound the same :)

Nancy Eves ukulele chords are different to guitar chords though

Nancy Eves no there is F and Am and many other chords

The Operatic Thanks a lot! have a great day

Sam Turtle not to sound braggy or anything but it is definitely G major due to the major sound of it and I don't even play uke but from years of playing guitar I can identify notes by ear. For anyone the first and third sections go D, G, A, and back to D whereas the second section starts with G and then there's a maj7 (I think) chord in there somewhere

derpydanhowell The main progression is D G A D. there's also an Em there and and an A7 and D7

Nancy Eves actually the second chord is an Em I realise

Nancy Eves oh my god so logical, thanks. I need to get back home and start playing the use again this is embarrassing xD

derpydanhowell pretty sure the only chords are G, D and A but not in that order it changes around a bit so you can probably tell by ear which order to play them

derpydanhowell me toooo, I'm trying to figure them out but I'm so sucks at figuring out ukulele chords! I know I played all of those chords before but I don't know what they're called!

derpydanhowell same and im not even half way thru listening

derpydanhowell this is on a fcuking tenor I think otherwise I'd have them by now rip

edit: **baritone not tenor omg


i always come back to this song. i relate to it a lot, and its honestly beautiful.


This song puts me in my feelings. I had a best friend a while ago and we we're so close that it was borderline a relationship. I soon found out she was doing and saying things behind my back. I loved her and I thought she loved me enough to always be there for me. But, nope.


Sitting in the garden, smoking once in a blue moon and drowning my sorrows in a bottle of red. Dodie, your voice it beautiful. It fills me with calmness.


I lost someone very important to me.My brother.This song really spoke to me and I love it Dodie.

After being dumped on Christmas Day I think I've listened to this 1000000 times. Bless u Dodie ❤

@Emma Hancock damn same. I got dumped 7 months ago and I'm still crying whoops. At least we have food in the unloveable club

gUEsS who just got dumped again!!!! Welcome to the unlovable club we have snacks


4 years later and this song is still so relatable and makes me want to cry


i knew her once, and she knew me too. it’s impossible to reminisce our memories without regretting. i can’t ask for forgiveness what i did was unforgivable, we weren’t perfect. but you put up with me incredibly and i wish for more of those moments. Remember when I got Dodie’s human vinyl signed i came over and we listened to it on your brothers player because i didn’t have one. i remember every friday i’d come over. i sit in the places we hung out. <br>we knew each other once and it was nice

My dearest Ivan:
I knew you once, and it was nice. I miss you darling, we were best friends for 6 years, and I'm so sorry things ended like this. I'm so sorry we never said goodbye when I left. I'm so sorry your girlfriend made us stop talking. I'm so sorry I didn't wish you a merry Christmas.
I'm so sorry it's been so long, I'm so sorry we couldn't solve it. I'm sorry my parents hate you because of how many times they've seen me cry.
The world seems like a fever dream without our silly talks, without walking into the classroom and seeing you and your bright smile.
I'm sorry. Please come back to me.
                          Love,
                               -Your little sister


I recently lost touch with a friend of over 10 years, this hit close to home

Yeah these lyrics spoke to me the same way. Even with the ability to talk through social media, sometimes you just gotta let people go.

sketcheton me too haha, I was about to write a comment about the same thing.

sketcheton I'm in the exact same situation. This hit very close to home for me as well.

Same clique Fren, he was my best friend and this song kind of made me wanna cry. Sometimes listening to the Cancer cover helps:) I hope you're okay and I wish you all the love, support, and happiness in the world |-/

sketcheton I lost a friend I was close to since birth a few years ago. I still hurt when I think about it.

same here ): sending my love & compassion 💖

me too, sending love, as its pretty crap x

sketcheton same kinda hurts to think about for me in fact

I'm going through some friendship struggles right now too it's tough

sketcheton I know how you're feeling. I am in a very similar situation. I'm sorry.

sketcheton I'm so sorry. That could be hard to lose someone so close and you've known for so long.


Honestly, so many times, I've tried to make real friends with someone. I'm super young, and my older sister's friends are all so supportive and sweet and awesome. I want to find someone like that, but we always float away. If I could just hold onto them, maybe I'd not fall asleep wondering if I'm going to die thinking these same thoughts. Now that my older sister has a boyfriend, I'm even more sad because I want someone special like that. I guess I just need to be a better person... But I don't know if I can try any harder than I already am.


i knew her once, and i had to move. we stayed close and she visited me. it was like nothing changed. and now time has passed and she found someone else. a new best friend. she changed a lot. i’d like to blame the people around her but i know i can’t. people change. i knew her once, and it was nice.

i miss my best friend.


When this song came out, I sent it to my best friend because the feeling of knowing someone this deeply, then losing them, really made me feel something and I wanted to share it with her. Three years later and she is the person this song reminds me of... It's hard when you know you shouldn't miss someone but you still do.


when I first heard this song, I wasn't reminded of anyone. it's been 3 years since that, and a lot has happened. now im reminded of my best friend; or at least, she was. until she stopped talking to me or coming online to the game we played very often. it's quite sad for me, but at the same time, she was a good friend during a really bad time in my life. and i'm grateful for that. we were pretty close, joking around together and helping each other out when needed-- she was called 'Reese'. if you're still out there, or even read this comment, good luck for the many years to come.

Honestly, same, man. I was so much younger back then. We didn’t know what had us coming, huh


i knew a girl once and she was amazing. now she's just a stranger. and even if it has been some time since i realized that she has changed, it still hurts.

i miss my fucking best friend

it seems i'm in the same boat as you were three years ago... i hope you're doing better now <3

dude this fists too perfectly to me its huurrrts

I know you wrote this a year ago but I'm the same. I knew her once. It was nice. Then she hurt me. It kinda sucks. I hope you are better without her. We will be okay

I feel the exact same way. Fucking junior year of high school has SUCKED.

Me too, I get it. 💙 it'll be okay though

sally b i hope you’re doing okay. i’m going through the same thing and it cuts deep

I know a girl who changed so flipping much. It was always us going ‘look at the popular kids with all their makeup, that stuff is so stupid’ we go to different schools now. I don’t know who she is. She wears makeup and acts super ‘extra’, she calls herself an emo and says loads of ‘look at me I’m artsy’ crap like ‘I’m in the music mood’ and yells at strangers ‘Don’t talk to me I’m an introvert!’ But she always wants to hang out with me, i may not like her anymore but I always hope of seeing my old friend in her and kinda depends on me. It’s sad that no one knows how I feel about it

I had a best guy friend and then he did the same thing to me, it’s Been 4 months and it still hurts

I'm glad I'm not the only one that was thinking about old best friends, I'm with you man ❤😂

omg... I read your comment as if it was exactly what I was thinking

We’re here for you, love. I miss my best friends too.

sally b I get it😭Don’t worry you’re not alone


This comment section is a huge therapy session, so

Chevii, I know you’ll never see this, but you were one of the best friends I ever had :) it was fun and you made me happy. You pretended to be my girlfriend when I had a stalker, you introduced me to the actual love of my life, and you were all around amazing in every way. I’ll never know what I did to you, but I hope you’re doing great.

I was angry at first when you cut me out, but life happens, and people change. And I’m finally at peace with our relationship, and I can finally look back at our memories and smile at how good it used to be. Thank you for all those memories, even if you don’t remember me with kindness, I always will.


Dear old best friend, I knew you once and I hope we can be together again we haven't talked in six months but you'll always be one of my best friends even if I'm not yours I'll never forget your laughter and kindness towards a sad dark soul like mine you were my light when I needed it most you were an amazing best friend for those two years, old best friend even if you leave me for good our friendship will live on in my mind heart I hope this little letter was a reminder of what is truly in my heart, dear Caitlin you will always be my friend even if I'm not yours and I know you'll never see this but oh old best friend my best wishes to you in your future!

I hope it finally works out for you! Sometimes, it can be better, and healthier to let go, even though it hurts, a lot. An awful lot. But you know that in the end, it was a beautiful moment of your life, and it will remain like that in your memory.

Update: I've talked to her a bit since then we're still not friends more like strangers politely passing in the hall but in life. She's become good friends with some of mine. The truth is that the things I remembered to be wonderful are so clearly romanticized the things I remember twisted to seem better. So still not friends, but we're getting somewhere. ( and when I say somewhere that isn't necessarily a good somewhere)


i knew her once.

she hasn’t changed a lot, I still love her (best friend) a lot. But she just has other friends and I’m happy for her and I don’t want be jealous but she always drags them into what we do and will always stop me from being the chaotic person I am. It sucks. I suck for feeling this freaking way


did anyone else instinctively say 'bless you' after she sneezed i can't help it oops

Sara Kirkland nah I think they mean it’s a great joke :)

I literally say it every time it's an issue


i love this woman more that anything in this world


It's sad how much i can relate to this song...thank you...<3


That sneeze portrayed that this video was gonna be amazing.


i knew you once...but now you’re a stranger with all my secrets.


I like listening to your music when i'm writing. You have a vibe that gets me in the feels for a good short story. (: thanks for that


This takes me back. I was in love with my best friend, I really shouldn't have told her. It's been years since the last time we spoke.


This song sounds like a love letter to lost friends- you make peace with the fact that you’ll probably never meet again, that you still miss them, but that you were happy while together and that that’s worth remembering fondly


Okay, it's well established that you rock.


To my dear childhood friend A,<br>I never pictured a live without you. This pandemic has made me realize how important you've been and you are to me, but it has also distanced us. I'm sorry for all the mistakes I've made and for taking you for granted. You're always going to have a part of me, and I'll never forget the times we were inseparables. I'll always miss the times when we were kids and everything was simpler. Thank you.

Dear Friend,
I knew you once and it was nice. But the key word: was. A good distant memory is all it'll ever be, but I still hope you're happy even though you put me through hell.
     Best wishes, The friend you left behind.


i'd say god bless you but it seems like he already did

This is the song that I will be playing over and over for the next week. :3


I knew you once
You knew my soul. You saw my cuts and bruises, and the cracks in my life
And now we're strangers


How is it possible that i haven't heard it before??? It's so beautiful 😍


Monique Huskisson Thought about asking too.


Dear Eddie,
I knew you once. And it was nice.
After being friends for a while we started to grow closer to one another. Spending summer days playing Minecraft for hours on end and talking about life. Then we started to share almost every minute that we could with one another. Making dumb jokes and planning out our lives together as best friends. And slowly I was falling for you. I wanted to share every bit about me with you. All my secrets, my fears, my hopes and my dreams, and all of my life. Not too long later on I shared my first kiss with you. My first relationship was starting to bloom. And we where happy. We both loved living life with one another and loved each other so much. Sadly, all good things come to and end eventually right? Over time the quiet moments between us felt suffocating, and our differences felt large and painful. Conversations dulled to meaningless nonsense and we drifted apart. It’s painful because we both still love one another, we just don’t know how to stop the growing distance between us. Our futures started to look different than the ones we planned together. And I miss you. But please know that even though I know what we have is coming to a close, I will always still love you and what we had. So thank you. For everything. And I’m sorry.


I knew you once, and its completely my fault. I hope you have the best life. Thank you for the beautiful memories. :) you were the best part of my year


5 years later, and I'm still wishing this was a full-length 3+ minute song


Oh Please put this song on spotify! I have a playlist with a friend and I would LOVE to add this song to it.


Thank you to all who shared their stories. I would not have been able to get to this point of personal expression without your sharing.  Now it's my turn to be honest.

I knew you once & it was nice.

I know you now, though it's been awhile & that's alright.

We use to be, but that was then.

I'm still a close sorta friend.

You've had a few, since way back then. I'm still here to help you keep up a grin.

I can't keep this smile or gifting advice.

Yeah I knew you once & it was nice.


I love how quickly you can flip from silly to serious. :-)


This makes me think of the best friend I had of 9 years who i recently lost touch with. We probably listened to this song together, too.


This touched me because my friend, doesn't seem to want to be my friend anymore. Trusting is no longer something i have.

I'm so so sorry. I think I'm too young to have a crush on anybody, boy or girl, but i understand how u feel.

But then what, only phan trashes understand?

I'm going to write this here so i can let it out and no one     i know will see it.<br>I relate to this song more than any song ive ever listened to. I had a best friend a year ago she had just moved to my school and we instantly clicked. We hung out all the time, after a few days my other best friends started to notice and told me off and hated me for it. And her other friends were the same. But we still hung out because we werent going to let them stop us. After a while i realised i had a crush on her. And i believed she did as well. I thought we were soulmates. But then she began to date boys but she always told me she did'nt like them in that way and she always broke up with them. She always flirted with me. She was soo nice and she gave me confidence and made me happy. But then it was the summer holidays and i tryed to keep in touch with her and i messaged her often but she never replied and i got worried about her. When we went back to school i tryed to talk to her but she seemed different and it was alot harder to talk to her. At first i blamed myself for it and told myself that i had let this happen. This led to me being depressed and i attempted suicide many times.  But i have realised that it was her that changed. We still smile at each other when we see eachother but it isnt the same. Recently my friends have become friends with her and have apologised because they now understand why i liked her soo much. But i still miss her the old her

I tried so hard to be friends with her... And she switched schools to get away from me... I just can't seem to hold on to her.

I hope things got better and u were able to heal☺

You'll always find someone who'll love to be with you, just keep looking :) MUCH love to you all! And we're always here.

Same... My very best friend don't want to be this to me anymore... I cried listening the song

Sadies Bustos My friend told me just yesterday in the most inconsiderate way that she didn't want me in her life. I understand how you feel. 😊💚🤗

Sadies Bustos  I relate my friend.. My best friend of 13 years seems to not want my company anymore.


Listening to this song several months ago while missing someone was incredibly difficult. Listening to this song now coming out the other side and feeling okay is a beautiful experience.


This song was my favourite song but it hurts after 12 years of being with someone, that silence was comfy till she decided drama was comfiest for her


Dear Abby,
 I didn't stop being your friend becuase I stopped loving you. I stopped being your friend becuase I stopped loving myself. It took me a while to realise it, but you were toxic.
I still love you.
~Serenity


There have been countless nights I’ve fallen asleep to this song. I love you, Dodie 🖤


caN YOU NOT MAKE THIS SO RELATABLE TO ME, IM CRYING RN

DarkJinx SAME. I love this song, but every time I listen to it I start balling

AdmiralJinx SeaShore SAME IM HERE WITH YA SOME ONE PUT TEARS IN MY EYES


i stopped counting after 12 replays in first listen
love it so much! ❤❤❤

edit:
it's been an hour  can't get enough of your sneeze!


The sneeze replaced the snap-clap. I love it


every time i listen to this song, i message my friend who i don't see often. sometimes you have to reach out. stay safe everyone


I knew you once. It was.... nice? You knew my brain and my heart.... All my insides. I thought I could tell, with just a look what you were thinking. I thought that was all it took. I shared my secrets. You didn't share yours. Silence was terrifying, without having to try. We "swapped" our smiles. I gifted advice. I knew you once, it wasn't nice.


dear Alex,

You taught me so much about myself that I am forever greatful for. Joining theatre and meeting you was one of the best decisions I ever made. We both met at a time when we were broken and I think we helped to build each other back up and make everything okay. You are the only person to truly understand me. You never judged me for my interests. Because of you I have learned to be strong and stand up for myself but I hade also accepted that it’s okay if I’m weak and cry and can’t be strong all the  time. I learned that I am beautiful because of you, you also saw the best version of me and thought I was beautiful no matter what. Last night I couldn’t forget about our first date and all the times we hung out late being goofy together. In the end we still decided to be friends with college and different schools tearing us apart. Yet you left so I could achieve my dreams, so thank you for it all. Thank you for letting me go even if it is hard I know it’s better for both of us. You taught me how to love and I’ll forever be greatful for that. Thank you for making the last year and a half of my life the best ever :)


I'd give anything to be know someone like that again.


This came out at a such relevant time in my life, I love how I can come back and smile positively at this lil tune💛


I knew you once
The pain you caused still stings till this day
But I lost our friendship that day
Something that broke me
But something that I now crave


This.... was so lovely.<br>You are lovely.


I knew them once.
I remember running throughout the hallways of school, laughing and yelling. I moved away without warning, not being able to see you again. It's been years by now, I wonder if you remember as clearly as I do?
At least I knew her once.
I'd say it was nice


I don't know what it is about your music, whether it's the beautiful harmonizing hums or the softly strummed cords... I always get goosebumps and a weird but comforting warm feeling inside. every. single. time.


when this song first came out i never thought i would relate to it i just thought it would be another song i like the tune to,,,, turns out i do relate to it I meet her in dark times not really looking for love, if it wasnt for her i definitely would be dead but she came into my life and swept me off my feet. texting till early in the morning and soon enough we met in real life and called every night to go to sleep going to eachothers houses and meeting family and friends we made the forever promise,,, it wasnt true we would say you and me were set, then the other one would say were set, a year later of kisses and cuddles and forever promises she stopped the promises but it didn't really cross my mind until she said we need to talk she was moving 30 minutes away i said we could make it work she said we still needed to talk about it i tried to let it go but i couldn't, i went to a graduation part for her then the day after she came over and we talked we cried into eachothers arms and cuddled as she told me shes not strong enough for me, and i guess i understand but she doesn't need to be strong for me im strong enough, i miss her so much still it fucking hurts so bad


I had a best friend once , we’re were two halves that connected so well. Now all of its dark and broken , we knew everything about each other  , now it just hurts. Everytime I see you I break my heart again , and I bend over backwards and shut myself out of things just not to see you.

To that person , I knew you once , and it was nice, thank you for showing me who I am strong enough to be.


I swear dodie could probably write a song about murder and I'd still get excited


After listening to this song years later, I realized who I thought about when I listened to this song. I was thinking about myself. The relationship I once had with myself. I still know myself but I think the wounds make it hard to want a relationship with me. It hurts to know all of me, because I'm just so scarred within.


Love this. Makes me think of all the friends with which I've drifted apart over the years.


OUTSTANDING!
made me smile 😃 tugged a little on my insides & yeah it is just OUTSTANDING...
Bravo 👏 👏 👏


the little humming bit at the end is probably one of my favorite parts of any dodie song<br>the harmonies are top notch, 11/10 would listen to for hours

I was in love
It was the brightest sunshine I had ever felt

Then it was gone and the darkness was painful

Even if there was no darkness at all

There won't be darkness if you don't let it be darkness. Sunshine always comes back out, and until then, you've got support until the storm passes.

To lit To be dead that was beautiful, i’d love to read more of your work if you have it


i knew her once, then i didn't.. then i did again, but then i didn't... i messed up, we both did and i miss being your friend


Dodie, your songs speak to my soul. It helps me work out a lot of old feelings with happiness in mind and a good cry along with it💖


this song gets so much more beautiful when you think about it being a song to herself, looking back at memories and photos and whishing she still knew that girl )-:


I love hiw her facial expressions change with what shes singing, shes so connected to the music


wow. I just finished listening to that for the first time and I have tears streaming down my face. You just perfectly capsulated a friendship I once had and it really hit me hard, thanks for this amazing song dodie.


this song hits different since the first time I listened to it... :(


I knew you once, Jaxon. I loved you for two years, and you didn’t love me for a second. But that was ok. We laughed over the substitute, I was crying and then she stood up. Remember how tall that woman was? I do, we turned to each other and laughed. I knew you once, you had a nickname for me and I had one for you. I knew you once, and you knew me too.


My virtual best friend got grounded from all social medias by her parents, I’d just known her for a year. I also messed up all my other friendships recently <br>This was one of her favorite songs :(

this is by far my favorite song dodie has written. it's so simple and yet so packed full of meaning. Love it!


"Silence was comfy
Without having to try"
I love that lyric.


You’re so freaking talented! Love your voice!


Dodie! There’s so much healing in this song, thank you for writing it. I love the way you write songs. It’s like finding peace of heart by viewing this as a new memory to press into a beautiful scrapbook of life. 💗


Reminds me of my sister. She and I live apart and even though we are still in the same state it feels like we are world's apart. I miss her so much and the games we used to play. She taught me how to imagine worlds and create amazing stories while I taught her how to be safe around others and learn to trust...I miss her so much.

This Is The Phandom Same I cried instantly

Hey It's Hannah Yup it reminds me of my ex best friend 😭

Same, it reminds me of my ex best friend ( she now tells everyone my secrets ) but she used to be lovely :/

Honestly, all your stories are sad. I really hope you guys solve your problems. Just remember, you have to be honest about how bad it feels so you can move on. Trust me, it works. :)

Lily Petals dont worry about it you can try and become friends and you have people who care about you in your life you'll be ok

Skeleton Lester my boyfriend just broke up with me and I'm so scared he will just cut me off, it's happened before and I don't think I can do it again

•Clodistic • same my closest guy friend became a stranger to me

me too.. my boyfriend and I broke up awhile ago... it was nice. but now he acts like it didn't happen.... now he just joins everyone else and makes fun of me for being gay..im not even gay im pansexual but whatever..  (woop)            sorry for ranting lol

Same all though not really that sad about that, they weren't the bested person to have in my life at the time but they are probably better now 😊

This reminds me of an old friend I had. Last we became really close and I loved him more than a friend for years and I told him I like him and he didn't like me back. About a month later for some stupid reason I ask him why he didn't like me and he said everything . Ever since he's been a total joke . I've cried the other night because I was at a party and I wanted to kiss him but my brain was saying he hated me and I started breaking down. Sorry about the long rant

Same, just had a lengthy convo with someone yesterday at a pretty isolated place and she said we had comfortable silences, and we shared our secrets, and I was screaming all the way as I listened to this song


Dodie, this is my favourite song youve ever written. Just wow. 😍


The simplest of this song makes it awesome! Good job I’m really hard to please but you made me really happy to hear this song!!!!!❤❤ keep up the good job!


A sad little tune but so beautiful. I love the harmonies!! :D


Hey, Doddie<br>You are gifted to make a song and compose rythems. Your songs are very simple to listen but I can read your heart! You express your heart honestly! So you can sing your songs very naturally and I can have much connection to your songs! I appreciate you.

I was playing this out loud & at the beginning when she sneezed I guess my little sister thought it was me so she called out 'bless you!' from the other room lmao


ello bub (if i’m even allowed to still call you that),
thank you for all the amazing times and it still breaks my heart it didn’t work out. i loved knowing you and being part of your life. i loved laughing with you and talking about silly things that were just ours to laugh about. i loved the times we could cry together, let all of us out to be there for each other. i knew every face you could make and every time i saw you it felt like coming home. thank you for being there for me. thank you for sharing your passions and your rants. i’m so honored i once was the reason of your smile. i hope i could meet you again someday, but if not: your happiness means the world to me so please be the happiest you can ever be.

i knew you once
and it was nice.


Release this on your next album/EP I love it so much


You came , and as quickly as you came you left .

You left a scar , but I grew , and you no longer hurt me .

I am a woman now , and I have seen , that words although they hurt , don’t mean a thing .

I knew him once .

[Edit]

You tried to come back, after you saw the mess you made .

I never let you , and now you wish to see the little girl you broke .

Guess what ? She’s gone , replaced with a women who has countless self-issues , who is scared of everything and everyone .

but she still loves

so no, you didn’t break her , you only made her stronger .

I knew you once .

Now , I don’t

this is the most calming thing i've listened to today , thank you


This song is so beautiful, it is so... Realatable... Thank you for making it. ;w;


I lost my cat today. I needed help to get the tears out. Thank you for such a beautiful, helpful song


when i first heard this song i didn't know how real i'd one day know it to be.


This is my absolute favorite song by you.


chandler, I knew you once. I thought I knew your heart, your mind, the way you told witty jokes in such a deadpan joke that you wouldn't even crack a smile afterwards. I knew how you liked your coffee and where your favorite spot on the couch was. I knew your favorite Baywatch character and who you trusted most. I know you will probably never see this, but its always felt like we were separated. like you were distant, and I was just watching you on a screen as your life played out, and I didn't have any say in it. I know you are with her now, and I want you to know, I'm happy for you. you deserve her. I know you won't see this but, chandler bing, I knew you once, and it was nice.


I love how when you go into the comments section on Dodie's videos, it's a community of people pouring their hearts out into a YouTube comment. A family of people who can relate to the song. God, I love this community.


your voice is so soothing it makes me want to cry for an odd reason


I knew him once, he dumped me before we even dated lol

kate cocchiola y’all needa quit letting yourselves get played man

Same, but talking about my best friend 🤷🏼♀

I don't want to but I have to laugh at this

i knew her once and she dumped me 3 times, and one on my brothers birthday and one time where i had really bad depression :,D

literally same and I was like nah it won't happen for the second time BUT ALAS

caden same and she was emotionally abusive 🙃

I laughed at this and then started ugly crying

i knew her once and she dumped me 4 tines


I knew you once. You told me everything, every boy you liked. You may still be here but you’re not the same. You’re cruel and cold, not the warm and nice person I knew. I guess I could say the same about myself, though. I knew you once, and that was nice.


It's been 4 years since this song came out, i still listen to it. it reminds me of a old girlfriend i had, even though i still sometimes miss her. i think this song really helped me moved on. and all the other songs you released in 2017, they still bring me joy. thank you for everything doddle.


Please please put this song on your album!!! It's beautiful❤


This song is amazing! Thank you for writing it


Every time I see this I quietly say "Bless you, dodie." when you sneeze in the beginning. <3

angiereyes is it really because she was sneezing? :'^)


one of my favourite dodie songs for sure !!


I knew her once.

I met my friend, calling her M, during 5th grade. I came into the same elementary school as her in the middle of the year. I had cataracts, so I had to have help reading textbooks. She, along with someone else who I’m still friends with, helped me out by explaining what was on the page and saying the problems. It was the best, to be honest. Not the whole cataracts thing, but the friendships I had built because of it. I was in a sort of depressive mood, so it felt nice to have some people around who I though cared about me.

Sixth grade rolls around, and we’re still great friends. I even gain another new friend through them, but this isn’t really about her. We would play Warriors, and we even began to collaborate on a story based off of our game. My character was a sassy she-cat... it was pretty much the only thing I had to look forward to. The rest of my life was covered in shadow.

Come 7th grade, and I had to go to a different school for the first semester. One of the worst 4-5 months f my life. Eventually, though, we moved , and I transferred to M’s school. I sat with her at lunch, but whenever I talked to her, she seemed so... different, I suppose. She seemed distant to me, like she didn’t want to talk to me.

So gradually, I stopped trying to make little conversations and sat in silence at the table.

8th grade (this year, actually). At this point, she straight up ignores me in the halls, at lung, at our locker bays... it hurt me every single time I saw her.

But I knew I shouldn’t talk to her. She seemed just like a “cool kid”, not wanting to sit with the loser in the Connor sweatshirt. She acted  like it too. My other friend (the other kid I met at 5th grade) asked her what was going on, and she said she wasn’t interested in us anymore.

This was recent, and I’m still tryin to get over it. I thought our friend group would be together through high school. Because of this, I feel lonelier in a crowd than when I do alone. I’ve found more friends, but it still hurts when I look back at the memories I made with the friends I met that year. 5th grade.

... I knew them once...
... and it was nice...
... now it hurts...

Okay, wow. Seven months ago, I was whining about one friend moving on. That... just seems sorta pathetic now.
I’m doing a lot better now. I’m more angry at this old friend now (because of some things they said),  but I really couldn’t give two shits now. I’ve got new friends, and have a much better mental state. I had time to delve into myself once I stopped tearing myself apart, and now I... don’t care. I honestly don’t care about this previous friend of mine anymore. If I ever think about them at all (which is rare as hell), I just brush it off.
They became kinda a bitch anyways. Wouldn’t have wanted to stay with them.


It’s 2019, I’m obsessed with Dodie’s songs, and I just find this now? <b>thanks YouTube</b>

It's so cute how she adds voices humming in harmony in her songs. I just adore this.


A past boyfriend of mine has recently past away, this song hits hard. I love it❤


this song is too adorable, just like dodie T^T


Even a couple years after this video comes out and it still melts me and inspires me to keep writing. Ugh I love this song.


you posted this video right as I was going through a pretty rough breakup with someone. We had just grown apart the last few months because she was at college and didn't have/make any time for me. This song is awesome and you've been an amazing inspiration with your music and your vlog. love you°!!!

this reminds me off my old best friend. this song means alot to me life and says all of my happy thoughts off her. thank you dodie


Hey! Amazing song!! I just wanted to let you know that Hollie Allen has this song on spotify, and here also on YouTube as ~her song~, do you know anything about that? 💖

I knew him once... he hurt me twice. SIMILAR SITUATIONS GREAT.

Crafty Kitty but it's okay cuz we don't cry about it. We craft about it

IAmGoslant 909 i like that :) if you do a cover lemme know!

Bree Borgosz I actually am learning to play this song and I think those words would fit great at the end of the song. Thoughts?


every time I listen to this, I bless the sneeze. every. time.


this is the best song she's ever written. i thought it would've fit perfectly on the new ep, but its not one of the more popular songs. oh well.


This brought back so many memories, not necessarily bad. But I did know him once. And it was awfully nice.


Any one else say bless you, but then get blessed with Dodie's amazing voice?<br>No? Just me? Ok....

I used to know this boy. It was so nice. We’d been friends since I was born (he’s one year older than me) but we didn’t get close until I was 13. We did theater together and talked more and we became really close friends. He was anxious and funny and talented and beautiful and i fell in love with him. And I thought he felt the same way so I told him and he didn’t reciprocate. We didn’t talk for about a year. He’s the kind of person that isolates himself when he doesn’t know how to approach a situation. But somehow after that year was over we ended up on the same bus home and got to talking. We then took the bus home together everyday for the next eight months. He was my best friend. I could tell him anything and everything. We would sing together at the bus stop and laugh our faces off at weird jokes and he would try to teach me how to beat box and I would try to teach him high notes. And it was the best friendship. But it all made those feelings come back and I was more in love with him than ever. But he graduated and went to high school and I still had one year of middle school left. And it was horrible. I finally got to high school and started doing theater again with him and we connected again as if the year apart had never happened. We actually talked about me telling him I liked him for the first time comfortably. But I didn’t know if his feelings had changed or not so I told him in November that I still liked him and surprise, he didn’t reciprocate. I started to see him in a different light after that, started think “oh shit he’ll probably never feel that way about me.” And it was hard to accept but he still stayed my friend, and we were best friends until he graduated. I haven’t seen him in a few years but we still talk occasionally and I miss him. I wish we could go back to our bus ride days when I knew him like the back of my hand. I loved him once, and it was nice.


i was on the verge of tears just now, because my "best friends" ditched me today on halloween, our bloody favorite holiday. as soon as dodie started singing i instantly felt better. i love dodie💗🎃


I reckon one of your musical friends should write a love song to you called “ode to the dodes” - just saying 😜😍❤
