The complex and technical musical structure of this made my music nerd brain VERY happy. Just found your channel this week and it’s amazing!


This song feels like Burned Out’s older, wiser, more jaded but also more hopeful sister and I am grateful.

yyyYESSS OMG YES THIS COMMENT OIS SO SPOT ON

The “How they love me, all my daughters” part of this and the “Oh they love you, over and over” part I’m Burned Out are exact parallels

burned out will always be a banger and if this is the older sister then i might explode because it is in-fact a banger

rlly? this felt more hopeless to me. but maybe it's just me lol

Thinking the exact same thing. Also thinking maybe we could all be slightly more respectful fans.

Girlll you read my mind! I was thinking the same thing!

yes that’s hwhat at I thought! the vibe of the lyrics in the chorus especially!


“I hate the world and it doesn’t care” so perfectly describes this feeling


‘Ask the people who have left me’ is such a powerful line I literally love this song so much

@doddlevloggle hey, sorry might be a little late I just want to say I keep coming back to this song so much in these times...I relate so much to the lyrics and I feel like these exact words keep going through my head almost everyday, I'm 18 and I've lost alot of friends from being autisic and the guilt I've felt because of some things I've done and said relates so much to this jittery part I try to hide.

So thank you for writing something so beautiful and personal! (:

i saw this comment right when the line came up—

it hit even harDer.


dodie: don’t get attached to each song! they just demos

me: still crying over please listen closely

EDIT: damn we really got fooled didn't we :D ANYWAYS CAN'T WAIT FOR MARCH 26TH

@Aninja oops sorry I linked dear happy! Sorry! I'll give the other one a listen!

@Tora Marie Wedervang https://youtu.be/xQVXm-imzoA

@Tora Marie Wedervang there is a full version now! I'll try to find it and link it for you all!

Ahhh same I was SO HAPPY WHEN SHE REASLESED IT OMG

good thing we have bored like me coming soon!

Aninja oh, that’s so cool :DD I’m glad she made a video on it, I was there at the stream too back then :))

@DasTretminchen I know! she released it after I commented o  here :D

Aninja I think she made a Video about that one. It’s „a song about Twitter“ I believe

@syd grace dear happy I know ofc. but the other one...

Aninja that first songs called “Dear Happy”! She actually uploaded that a while ago, i think it’s on Thomas Sanders channel!! the other one i’m not sure :(

@Tora Marie Wedervang I knowww! it's been three years but I still hope :D

@Aninja Oh my god! I didn't know about this song! It's so goood! Why did you get me hooked on a song that's not released yet? I want it now!!

i can't stop listening to please listen closely too lol

rIGHT like if this song isn't made so i can listen to it at all times i might lose it. it's so frickin magical i can't even describe it

Yeah please listen closely and bite back really got me.

dude my absolute fave one that one's masterclass

I am still crying over a song she played on her insta stories like three years ago! dodie, if you read this: please release the song you played on may 30th 2017!

for those interested: it‘s on youtube somewhere

Yesss, we need please listen closely, I'm fully attached to that song


I feel like this is one of dodies most unique sounding demos shes written. It's just do beautiful and the lyrics suit perfectly

This and Listen Closely are so unique in their own senses, I love it sm


Acoustics: amazing
Song: wonderful and belongs on vinyl
Outfit: incredibly aesthetic
My heart: fufilled


i felt the awkwardness when someone came out of the elevator. but dodie ur voice and lyrics and background are all perfect thank u for all of alosia

Charlie Bucket it stands for “a lot of songs in april”!! dodie has been releasing small demos every few days this month :))


the outfit, the aesthetic, her pacing around, THIS SONG omg dodie ily

I've also had this on repeat


This hits me right in the feels:

I’m twenty five, I’m twenty five
And all this shit proves I’m alive
But I spend the day just spending days
...take it away

I read this comment just when she sang that part. Perfect timing😂


Me: having a bad day<br>Dodie: I'm about to do what's called a pro gamer move

Me: having a bad day
Dodie: I'm about to do what's called a pro gamer move

Dodie gets a nat 20 every time she rolls for a mood improvement


"what did your 200th day of quaratine consist of?" "oh ya know, crying to dodie like every other day"

Well you know, 7 months later and it’s still the same :/ (also if this was you on 200, are you okay rn?)


i cannot explain how proud of her i am. i don’t even know her, but the music she makes and the person she is is just utterly inspiring.


Emily Snelling yeah, it’s still funny lol

I think she did it so she could line up the audio. Like the black clipboard they use in movies.


"i spend the days just spending days" okay but big fat quarantine mood tho

@Sam yes I can imagine!! I love watching the concert videos and everyone is always so happy and like screaming the songs too😂 hopefully in like a year or two Dodie will be touring in the US and I can finally go!

@Sam totally worth it. Would make the same choice as you! Also my birthday is in August too!! I just checked my calendar and realized I wouldn’t be able to go😭 so I will forever have a little printed out ticket of the show i never went to😭😂 one day though!!

@Sam aw I wish I got to go see her in concert! I had tickets that my mom got me for my birthday which was the best day of my life but then I realized my mandatory theatre dress rehearsal was on the same night so I couldn’t go to the concert😭

@agcitrusstudios 10 months now😭 I swear I saw that "Boys like you" came out in 2019 and I'm like HOWW?? No that's not right! That just came out??  Where did time go?

the fact that this was six months ago—what even is time anymore


This song is so gorgeous it makes me feel things that I can't pin-point it's like being nostalgic for a life I haven't experienced

@CityboundForest that's so interesting! thank you xx

Fun fact there's a word for that it's Welsh and it's "hiraeth"


And for 3 minutes and 17 seconds the world was silent. "she means everything to me"


* person walks in on dodie singing *<br>dodie: * panics whilst casually holding a uke * hi?

* person walks in on dodie singing *
dodie: * panics whilst casually holding a uke * hi?


I’m loving how adorable and nice the comments are and like paired with dodie’s vocals in the background, it be hittin different

Mawr ! I mean I’m pretty sure that it’s a ukulele, if only because that’s what all of the rest of the comments are talking about

Skippidoodles do u happen to know what instrument she’s playing here?


I swear this also sounds like it’s from a musical. Is Dodie secretly writing a musical?


I see this going into the album, being a fan fav, getting a music video, a genius interview, and being a tik tok trend ok bye

same. although tiktok kinda ruins dodies art. think of the monster trend. now people relate her to that trend

Yeah, it’s a Dodie song, she may be the most consistently phenomenal artist out there.


I absolutely adore how dodie writes lyrics like “I’m on a train, I’m in a car, washing my hair, I’m in the dark” and “I wrote him a letter, I cried in the bath, I called my mother, and lay in the dark” cos they’re just SO REAL. Like these moments like sitting alone in the bath or on a journey or in the dark are the times that u feel so shit cos u actually have to sit and think and confront ur sadness instead of avoiding them by watching tv or something and shutting ur brain off and u need to drag your body around to do these necessary tasks when u just don’t want to. These are such real vulnerable things u do to try and soothe the aching of something like a breakup like writing a stupid letter you’ll never send or moaning to ur mum cos u just don’t know where else to put these feelings and u want someone to pick them up and lift them off u. dodie’s lyrics really just hit u because they are so simple and relatable and that makes it 10 times more emotional and personal to so many people. I adore her.


Hey! I just wanted to ask anyone who's reading this if they're doing okay? Everything's confusing and messy right now, so if you need to talk, I'm here for you.

@rose it's great to hear that you're getting better and i hope it stays that way! have a great day x

@rose it's great to hear that you're getting better and i hope it stays that way! have a great day x

@thisbluewall I totally get it and I hope you are doing better now. Remember we’ll both make it through this to happier times. I don’t know when but we will someday.

Thank you! I’m ok, but not the greatest. I’m getting better, slowly. Hope you’re good too.

Thank you! I’m ok, but not the greatest. I’m getting better, slowly. Hope you’re good too.

Thank you for asking! I am a little low today because I like my friend and he doesn't feel the same way and it's so hard for me to get over it but I don't want to lose him as a friend so I just have to find a way to be ok with this and it's kinda messy. How are you doing?

i don't feel ok. I'm trying to deal with the mess i'm in tho. So i'll try to not mess up again lol

well, first my grandpa died. then i couldn''t see my best friend anymore. i don't know what my gender is. this pandemic was the last straw and now nothing feels real anymore.

Not doing my best but I feel like I’m slipping. Thank you honestly people like you remind me of the good in the world.

Fleur All these girls out here changing their hair when they have a mental breakdown, I just move furniture in my room clean as I think too hard too fast too much. I'm OK now but I wasnt maybe 3 days ago?

Your a gem for being that person who cares about people they don't know ❤

Fleur this is such a lovely and thoughtful comment! Bless you

n- no. no i am not. i've got too much school work, i've been dysphoric as hell, and my dad's [redacted] again. but "ok"ness is relative. and i'm certainly doing better than i was before. i have a laptop, i'm not prevented from doing school work, and i'm not in danger of death. which gives me hope. so the answer is no, but i'm hanging in there. if that makes sense.

@Kriya B yeah you're right, thanks for taking the time to say this, means a lot :)

Fleur dude I miss my girlfriend so much and I miss her hugs and her fluffy hair and her smiles and everything just ughhh

Fleur dude I miss my girlfriend so much and I miss her hugs and her fluffy hair and her smiles and everything just ughhh

today was the closest i’ve ever been to giving up completely :/ all my schoolwork has piled up and i can’t seem to work on a single assignment without breaking down and crying. i feel like i’m going to fail all my classes and i don’t even want to think about how my parents might react

@Kriya B that's great! I'm proud of you for taking control of what you can. Thank you for everything

@Kriya B that's great! I'm proud of you for taking control of what you can. Thank you for everything

Not doing great, being alone has got me overthinking feeling a mixer of depressed and stressed out. Hope you're well!

Not doing great, being alone has got me overthinking feeling a mixer of depressed and stressed out. Hope you're well!

Fleur i’m okay.. things could be better! i hate catching myself being jealous or insecure over something ridiculously stupid. like i know myself and i know what’s wrong for me, but why do i allow myself to feel this way? i don’t know. maybe it’s the people i allow in my life that makes me feel this way. should i rethink the ppl the walks in and out of my life? i guess i’ll just let time pass by.. but thank you for asking. i hope you’re doing well too :)

@CheerySpirits You have every right to feel sad. Do not apologize. You're feelings are warranted. The situation we find ourselves in is unprecedented for our generation. It's okay to be scared. Just know you are not alone. It may not seem like it now, but your words are valuable. Your words carry weight and will have an impact, a positive one, on others - because they will understand that, indeed,  they too are not alone. We are all in this together. We will endure. We will get the this together. And who knows, maybe even make new friends along the way. After all, there's a silver lining to everything. Be safe. Take care. <br>👍🤟💞

@CheerySpirits girl i'm so sorry, i'm going through the same thing and i know that pain very well. it's especially difficult for all of us in class of 2020 because what was supposed to be a huge milestone was ripped away from us so suddenly without the chance to say goodbye or find any sort of closure. just because other people have it worse doesn't mean that your pain isn't real or valid. you're allowed to hurt because so much has been taken away from you, and it's important to process all those emotions so that you can move forward. you're going through a very difficult time and your emotions and pain are so valid. just be gentle with yourself, because you're not operating under normal circumstances and you can't expect yourself to function the same way you would before everything happened. <br>when my final semester was canceled i struggled a lot with it too. i grieved the loss of my last months with my friends and the cancellation of events that were important to me. however, though it's been incredibly difficult I've learned that there is still so much beauty to be found within this situation. it's given me time to spend with my family before my life gets hectic with uni stuff, a deeper bond with the friends who care enough to stay in contact even when we can't see each other, and a greater appreciation for the everyday life things that i used to take for granted. though it may be hard, and you will have bad days and feel hopeless sometimes, do your best to hang onto those little bright spots in this situation, whatever they may be for you and no matter how small they are. when you focus on the good, the good gets better. remember that you have a beautiful future ahead of you past this situation. God has wonderful things in store for you and you will make it through to the other side to see what those things are. keep your head up, I'm praying for you💕

I'm doing absolutely awful right now. Thanks for asking though xx

I'm doing absolutely awful right now. Thanks for asking though xx

Thank you for your concern! This was so hard in the beginning since I was forced to confront some things but things are looking up and this comment made my day! I hope your doing alright:)

I'm doing great! since school has been cancelled my anxiety levels have gone to an all time low. Turns out I love not having the burden of seeing people ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ but I get that's just me, and most people are feeling lonely right now. How about you?

CheerySpirits I’m glad you’re safe. I’m sorry you don’t feel at home in your home. I know things are a little hard right now but we have to get through this. I’m sure your friends miss you just as much as you miss them and you will see them again after all this crap. Remember you’re not alone in all this. So many people feel the same way. My brothers in the same place as you. He’s in his last year of high school and he’s going to miss all last high school events like prom right before he goes to college. Stay safe and stay alive 💕

@Mary Bogue I am really struggling with my classes too ugh. I think actively trying to do thing that will actually make us happy (not yt for 6 hours lol) can help us feel more in control again, I am working on that

Found out my mother is taking my father back to court for full custody of my and my brother after everything is over. I’m okay with it because my father has been really horrible to my family but it feels weird because I also decided I don’t want to see him again a couple months back, so I think my mum decided to heed my cries. He’s supposed to be seeing me and my brother every weekend but he hasn’t made an effort to see us in 7 years. But soon it will be over and I will be happy, but now isn’t the time and that’s okay.

Sorry for the tirade I'm about to go on. I just haven't felt safe enough to say this to anyone else, and want to clear my chest before things get too hard to handle ;p (If you don't read through all of this, just please know that I am very grateful for everyone here. I hope you all stay happy, or whatever is hurting you becomes easier to handle.)
Things haven't been great. This was supposed to be my senior year, and everything that was supposed to make school worth it has been ripped from my hands. I can't walk at my graduation, I can't dress up pretty for my final prom with friends, all of my senior events are gone. Slipped through my fingers like water. No matter how hard I try and fix the heartache, loneliness just comes crashing down on me like waves from the ocean. I can't see my friends, can't tell them how much I value and love them before we all separate for college. Everything I can ever tell them will be through a screen. I can't hug them one last time, I can't hold both their hands and tell them that losing them is like losing a part of me. I'm alone in a time that should be when I am closest with people. I know I'll be able to see them later, but I can't help but wonder if they'll still want to see me after all of this. Will they have already gotten over high school? Are they already preparing for college, ready to leave everything behind?
The walls of my house feel like the arms of a stranger. My home, the one place that is supposed to be comforting, feels strange and empty. Unwelcome and scary. The walls close in on me on all sides and I can't breathe. Claustrophobia hurts more in a place that used to be safe. All while this is happening I feel the guilt of being sad crawling in my stomach, tearing at me until I am nothing but shreds by my bedside. The things that made me happy,  feel so far away now. And I know I have it good, so so good. I am safe, my family is safe, my parents are still able to work and get money, my final days of classes are easy, yet I feel like everything hurts. I feel like my pain isn't worth anything. And I know it isn't fair for me to be so sad, but I just can't get it through my head and that makes the guilt worse.
I'm really sorry for writing so much haha. Hopefully I didn't sound too whiney. I'm sorry if I did. Thank you so much for giving people a place to talk, Fleur! It is so wonderful to see people supporting people. I hope you and everyone else is doing well. I wish for all of you to be happy and sleep well in these difficult times <3

i’m doing good thank for asking 💕 sometimes overthinking a little about nothing and everything but i’m alright

i’m doing good thank for asking 💕 sometimes overthinking a little about nothing and everything but i’m alright

@Reetta Don't put too much pressure on yourself to do a lot, just do what makes you happy until you can go out, then think about jobs

Reetta I feel you... trying to find my purpose as well. Or at least a nice job that won’t suck out my soul. I hope you find your way ! Think of Bean, be patient 😊

Thank you! This is so thoughtful. I feel an inability to talk to my friends. But when I'm not talking to my friends, I'm thinking about death. I want to run. I want to scream out on the streets and just hug someone. I've fucked up my sleep schedule. I'm with my family but we don't talk at all. I'm not alone but I feel so lonely. I just want this to be over. How much longer?

these comments are so nice, i hope everyone is doing well as well, hoping we can get out of this hell alive and well. i dont feel anything, everything feels unreal. im confused with who i am at this point. but at least the sky is pretty and the trees and grass green. nice music to listen to, i want this to end. thank you for this comment and for allowing people to rant here.

@Mary Bogue I really want some cheese cake now, probably gotta make some. Remember that your emotions are always valid, we'll get through this <3

katie h I’m so sorry I know how you feel ❤

Yeah, if I can talk for a bit, I just had to drop all of my classes because I couldn't handle the stress of quarantine and school at the same time. Everything feels like it's falling apart all the time now. On the bright side I made cheese cake yesterday and it's not half bad, so at least that's something. Hope you're doing ok too, thank you for the kind message

That's so Nice. I'm having a really bad moment. It's all so hard right now. Reading this comment helps. Thank you. Hope youre doing alright

@katie h i'm so sorry for your loss. I'm happy that Dodie's songs are helping you <3

I feel like I'm in limbo, which isn't great for my depression. I feel the need to do so many things because I have the time, but my brain is too full and too empty at the same time. I only talk to my family, I need more friends but I'm not sure how to make them. thanks for letting me rant, I hope you're doing okay :)

ur so sweet! i'm doing alright, just trying to keep busy so that i don't overthink now that i have the time to hehe. how are u?

ur so sweet! i'm doing alright, just trying to keep busy so that i don't overthink now that i have the time to hehe. how are u?

I'm not sleeping properly, I fell down the stairs (lol), I have a girlfriend now so yay I guess? I'm tired and bored to death. I've done everything. I mean everything.

I feel like I need to do something significant with my life but I don't know what. I've always been a painter but I half assed my art college application cause I just didn't have the energy to do so many assigments so I applied to university to study English, Finnish, art history or philosophy. Now I'm waiting for the results. I should get a job but can't do that right now. I don't know what would be the next step. Start being serious about instagram? I just can't bother posting.

Thanks for letting me rant, my only friend is asleep

@katie h I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope the pain eases soon.

@katie h I'm so sorry to hear that. I hope the pain eases soon.

I haven't cried today, so that's been nice. My house is always a little too cold and it makes me sleep too much but there are so many things to be grateful for and there are so many people who love me. I miss seeing their lovely faces but every day I work hard is a day I can enjoy relaxing in the summer, maybe take a road trip to my friend's wedding or something. How are you?

Thanks so much for asking! I'm doing okay, and this comment section has honestly made my day. It's good to hear that you're all coping well enough, and I hope you all have a great week.

Woww, I have a lot of feelings about this one. First off, I feel this is dodie being vulnerable in a way we've never seen before, which is amazing, and really painful. Second, the filming is amazing, dodie in this soulless, echoey room, pacing back and forth like she's trapped. It really represents this feeling of being in your mid twenties and alone, and lost, and having what in your eyes is markable proof that you damage people. Also what she sees as the weight of responsibility, a little like in Burnt Out. Thirdly, dodie's really coming into her own instrumentally, and its great to see, she's really found her sound, and I can totally picture the end of this one turning into a classic dodie 'round'. Yep, this is amazin, can't wait for alsosim eee!

@doddlevloggle also was wonderin, what's in the bag??


this lowkey needs to be in a musical oh my gOD-

Dodie should be such a good musical composer

godddd a musical composed by dodie would be everything

i wish dodie some day will have the opportunity to write a musical and it’ll be my favorite musical of all time

I literally had the exact same thought. Dodie as a composer for a musical is so very very believable.

Honestly, you could take just her songs and string together at least one musical, possibly more. Just the songs and no added dialogue and it would still form a coherent story.


this song has the same feeling you get when you're trying really hard not to think about something but you think about it anyways and you feel it in your stomach, and then you feel rushed all of a sudden


I just want to say thank you. for everything. You've given me so much, and your music kept me here when my thoughts were determined to make me leave. You gave me a beautiful and amazing girlfriend, and you've inspired me to write music. You gave me a passion for songwriting. Thank you.


OOF THIS SONG... that feeling of growing up and looking back at past relationships (friendships, romantic, even family) and realizing all the crappy things that you did that you didn't even realize happened!!! And the guilt of if those people don't talk to you anymore, thinking/knowing that it was entirely your fault!!! And if they're still on good terms with you, it's that feeling of gratitude that they put up with you but also that even deeper guilt knowing how much you've hurt them!!! And the even worse paranoia that you might still be hurting them and they're not saying anything about it!!! And you're too afraid to ask because you're too afraid of the answer!!! And the feeling that you just want to shut off your emotions not because someone else is hurting you but because you are hurting yourself and others!!! It's the worst feeling! Especially if, like in your lyric "how they love me/all my daughters", you are told by people that you are amazing and kind and wonderful and you just know that you're NOT and it feels like you've got this little shriveled heart in your chest that no one else knows about and that you have to hide.

I went through this very recently when I realized that I had (unconsciously) pushed away one of my best friends. I realized that I had not been there for her when she had needed it most and I got so wrapped up in my own life that I neglected to care about hers. That's the WORST feeling, especially if you're someone who has a reputation for being super kind. That feeling from "Someone hold me down, before
/ I book a flight to your front door/No one else will bring relief/...And I don’t want to grieve" where you just want to go and make everything better but you CAN'T because you can't forgive yourself for them. It's completely up to them and you have to be mature and accept whatever outcome. Man. Growing up sucks a lot of the time.

HOWEVER! Not all hope is lost! My friend was gracious enough to forgive me and we are now back on great terms. I am still trying to forgive myself. It's natural to look back on your past self and just cringe and even get angry at how careless you were, but after ranting about this to my brother, he told me one very important thing: bad people don't worry if they're a bad person. Sure, you might not be perfect or flawless, but your guilt shows that you care and want to get better! The guilt will lead to one of two things: 1) it will help mend your relationship with someone you hurt after your sincere apologies and attempts to make it better, 2) or, if you don't reconnect with that person, then it will help you to know what you should and shouldn't do in any future relationships.

Fantastic song, Dodie! I freaking love your music so much. I found you very very recently, and I feel like I've stumbled upon a diamond mine. Your music captures some of the most universal yet seldom-talked-about emotions. Love ya! 💕

I'm having a really similar experience, and this comment has really helped me 💗 your brother is entirely right


The aesthetic of this and how it was filmed is so artistic and beautiful - almost makes you feel nostalgic in a way...


This is beautiful. I love how you can see people walking and cars driving past outside - makes you think about how everyone has their own story❤


this is just so emotionally charged, but it's in a peaceful place. it's jarring in a lovely way. ❤


Who else thinks than even when ALOSIA is over dodie should still share her demos coz these songs are truly wonderful???


dodie walked around in this video more than me in 3 weeks of quarantine

@Mawr ! I'm probably wrong but i think it's her baritone uke :)

@Mawr ! The walkykele- an ukelele that runs on walking-power 😁

By any chance do u know what instrument dodie is playing


dodie: don't get too attached, they're just demos!!" Me: <b>almost in tears singing this because it's beautiful</b>

dodie: don't get too attached, they're just demos!!" Me: *almost in tears singing this because it's beautiful*


That was next level dodie. Your songwriting skills never cease to amaze me. A very mature vibe - love the #11 in the verse melody.


God damn, that chorus is haunting. It's freaky how you manage to evoke such strong emotions with such a soft voice.


Your background is so soothing and calming. It matches your voice!


The way she just slapped the wall when she finished the song 😂

Pink Fluffy Unicorns Dancing On Rainbows


The chorus feels like missing a step on the stairs, the feeling you get in your chest while crying and going forwards on a swing.
The verse feels like my breathing is a circular motion moving from left to right and I’m weightless like in water.
The harmonies put bumble bees into my legs.
This makes me want to cry my lungs out.


oh my god where u filmed this is so peaceful the ACOUSTICS

TrebleBeth it’s beautiful if it is I am jel🤗😂

@StrawberryBonbon lord imagine having an flat lobby THIS fucking pretty WOW

Ellie Nichols Its probs the lobby to the apartment building she is living in

@Ell Nichols it's her apartment lobby, she said so in a tweet

Definitely the lobby of wherever she lives! I was upset at first, but then saw the lounge chairs and table and big windows and it made sense lolol.

Sydney Howard girl oh no I sympathise with you❤

MoCarmen no it looks like she’s been on a business call or something

it’s a GoRGEOUS ASS PLACE REGARDLESS THO

@Ell Nichols it's the flat's lobby she mentioned it when she tweeted this video

Ellie Nichols there’s obviously nobody there- it seems like a very quiet place. i’m all for staying home and keeping distance but have you never gone to the grocery during the pandemic? Two things that aren’t really comparable, yes, but also it makes a point enough. she’s following the distancing rules :)

Ellie Nichols I think that’s her house..?

@Ell Nichols yeah well she could have filmed this before

Sydney Howard no I think the question is why are you are out of the house it’s a pandemic?


I absolutely ADORE the chord progression!!! And the harmonies in the chorus are giving me some major Sara Bareilles vibes!! Thank you so much for releasing these over this month and please do continue if you want! It really brightens my day to hear new music through all of this, thank you thank you thank you!!!


I love love loveeeeeee everything about this song! Lyrics, acoustics, harmonies, your voice and ukelele playing 💜


THE OUTTAKE AT THE END I AM GONNA DIE I LOVE HER AHAHAHHAA


It would be amazing if we got an album of these demos - we as a dodiedom would be so grateful if you uploaded these onto Spotify/itunes etc ! Love ya!!


I love this. I hope so badly that this will be more than just a Demo


the acoustics. the aesthetic. the song. WE LOVE.


I can’t stop listening to the chorus over and over again, the “screaming underwater” gives me chills...


I love these demos. They're so beautiful and calming during qaurentine


I hope that the love and the “soft words” are starting to get through. The world is so easy to hate... but there’s good in the people in it. And yes, especially you Dodie. Thank you for sharing your voice and your gift. I love you and am so grateful to have found you years and years and years ago.


i’m so desperate to hear the official version i can’t even put it into words. i am so excited for the album to come out wow


Could you possibly turn these demos into an album? Everyone (including me) is getting attached to each song. And they're all so good!


I've listened to this repeated so many times and I just want to keep repeating it over and over again and it makes me cry but it's so beautiful


I feel like most of these songs have this melacholy feeling that day-to-day life is going on around us despite all the pain, like "I''m on a train, I'm in a car..." you're just such a talented writer!  <3


That second verse: "Heaving life into the dead, The book is closed, the words were said, everyone but me just knows how to let go"
This verse gave me pause. I think many people find that relationships in their life will come and go with time, but some are ripped from us due to our own actions, inactions, opinions, or decisions. It's not always our fault (we all have lives to live), but sometimes the impact of losing a relationship is...really hard. Even if a friendship or relationship is unhealthy for us, sometimes it feels like it is easier to deal with the turmoil than to let it go. It would seem like the best decision is to let go of that tie, but it's not always that easy.
I hope that everyone out there finds people who build you up, stand by your side, make you feel better when you're going through a hard time, and make you feel grateful to have them in your life! Much love to everyone out there, and to you too dodie! :) <3


Her beautiful voice just fills the room when she says “I’m not who they think I am”


This song made me feel like I got the wind knocked out of me while simultaneously giving me the sweetest breath of fresh air. I don't know how you did that, but I'm glad you did.

I figured it out: it's the feeling of feeling understood about the feelings you don't like to feel


I’m getting Burned Out vibes from the chorus(?). Or at the very least they seem to tell a similar story, it’s just that Burned Out is more snarky and/or pointed about it. Meanwhile this song feels more sorrowful.

But this is about three different things so who knows.


I am so so so incredibly happy this song will be on your new album! It's absolute gold, I love it!


it’s so haunting yet so beautiful and i love it! i love how she’s matured so much in her music! 💞🥰💞


You're such an inspiration to so many, and you've helped me through my darkest time in my life.  I just wish I could tell you how much your music resonates with me and gives me the will to carry on.  I've never done well reaching out for help, but you made it so I didn't have to.  Now I can find my own time to tell people how much pain I feel by merely being alive.  Your music is what helped me get to that point.  <br>Thank you so much, for everything I was never able to ask for.

all my daughters is literally the prettiest title i've ever heard in my life


this room is so beautiful. everything is so fitting and pleasing. and the echo! dodge, warm love and a great hug to you


her clothes-
her hair-
her voice-
her talent-
her love for music-
this song-


She had to wait for her birthday to post this one so the "I'm twenty five I'm twenty five all this sh!t proves i'm alive" line would work. Haha it's beautiful


it almost feels like dodie is writing for a musical (and i would love to see it, thank you very much).


Oh my god this is amazing!!! You're such a huge influence on me and my music and I love you so much 💖


ALOSIM YES PLEASE DODIE WE NEED MORE LIKE THESE PLEASE I CANT BELIEVE YOU'RE WRITING THAT MUCH AND GIVING IT TO US !!!


So many demos and all of them beautiful 💛


Oh my god I love the minor and eery sound of this 🥺


"everyone but me just knows, how to let go" just hits on a different level rn


i think this might be one of my favorites from alosia because it feels comforting one second and then really haunting the next


May I suggest: ALOSIQ (a lot of songs in quarantine)


I've listened to this so many times and with each time I get more shocked that this won't be on the official album and is only on the deluxe


This complexity of the chord progression in this one really caught my ears. I can listen to it on repeat. That's the thing about your music- it's not usually created from basic chord progressions, but interesting ones that give you a new vibe. Just beautiful.


i used to be a huge fan and then i kind of fell off watching every dodie video but wow wow wow am i glad i watched this one


can I just say this background makes me happy. It's just so bright and nice.


woah this is for sure one of my favorite demos she’s ever posted the lyrics and ambiance are painfully gorgeous


beautiful lyrics, beautiful voice, beautiful setting, beautiful everything! Dodie inspired me to stop being scared and post my first original song on youtube today.


This song makes me feel things I can't explain how can we not get attached to these


this demo is definitely my favorite so far, it just sounds wise, like someone who has learned from all their experiences and pushes onward with their growth.


the tension that builds in the chorus is so amazing. i've repeated that part so many times already. genius


can we just have alos. i want alos. a lot of songs. period. all the time. alosaott. a lot of songs all of the time. i need this year round.


youtube: dodie uploaded a new video<br>me: literally doesn’t take a second to think before clicking

youtube: dodie uploaded a new video
me: literally doesn’t take a second to think before clicking


burned out my is my favorite song of yours and this one felt like coming from a similar place but also being a bit older and it's less overwhelming??? idk exactly but i love it and you


You have a beautiful voice dodie so calming and relaxing another beautiful song love you so much dodie


This is by far my favorite song you’ve written and I really hope it makes it on your next album. It feels like being calm in a storm. Dark but peaceful. Like quiet grieving ? I’m not sure exactly but I really love it ❤


This is my favorite Alosia song!! Can't wait to hear it on the Alosia Deluxe Album in March!! 😭❤


ALOSIA is really brightening up my quarantine. Thank you, dodie!!


This is almost definitely my fave demo. Those harmonies on the chorus, damn! <3


This is so aesthetic and peaceful. Love the song dodie!!!!💕💕💕💕


Wow. My favourite one so far. I'm speechless ❤


Everything about this video is so pretty, the song, the background, and of course dodie


this might be my favorite demo so far. it’s so melodically interesting and the chorus is just so MMMMH


In my opinion, this is one of your greatest songs you ve ever written! Love  the harmonies. Your voice/singing is magical as always🥰. Your music and creativity reminds me of Steven Wilson in many ways. <br>It would be awesome if you and Wilson would do a project together some day 😍

It would be awesome if you and Wilson would do a project together some day 😍


This is what you were talking about in Else’s live!! I’m so glad you finally got the perfect shot 🥰 it looks and sounds stunning x


I feel every single line of this song in my bones. Thank you so much, I'm just speechless that I found a song that could speak to me like that.


what ukulele is that? is it a tenor or a baritone? it sounds amazing


This is my favorite demo you've done! It's so gorgeous and the lyrics flow so well.


this is my absolute favourite song from alosia omggg. Something about it feels so vulnerable and soft! I've been playing it nonstop while trying to get my work done :')


I love the emotion behind your singing. You inspire me deeply. Wishing you peace love and positivity.


Love the honesty of the song! You have a beautiful voice!


I can't not get attached to these songs. 💛🎵🎶


I am actually in love with the lyrics, they have such raw emotion that show feeling... just wow


UG the Demos are all so good!! Dodie you're music has matured so beautifully 💕💕


the chorus got me in my absolute feels. completely sobbing,, i needed this is my life


I love this song so much! I'd love to hear your thought process behind writing it. I hope you're doing well!


These demos are amazing! Hope you make more.


tbh I love being able to hear the birds and the various little audio blips like that!! I know most artists dislike them but I really feel like they help add depth to songs, and help convey a sense of time passing!!

my brain is very very dead, and when my brain is dead I can't filter myself so sorry to whoever reads this mess


OH MY GOD THIS WHOLE VIDEO IS PURE AESTHETICS


That natural reverb is gorgeous, I love this song so much!


This is scary relatable right now, thank you for your lovely music that heals my soul ❤


I really really love this one! A produced version of this would be stunning 😍


I realized I forgot how beautiful your voice is when you started singing, I missed listening to you🥺🥺💖its beautiful


This has such a peacefull chaotic feeling and I love it


Everyone tell me what their interpretation of the song is pls!! I want to know your thoughts!


this has some Aurora vibes and I LOVE IT omg <br>Definitely one of my fave demos omg so beautiful and emotional ♥

this has some Aurora vibes and I LOVE IT omg
Definitely one of my fave demos omg so beautiful and emotional ♥


i hope she knows that we really really love and appreciate what she’s doing and the amount of effort she put into all of this.she’s truly amazing💗


Dodies demos are honestly making this quarantine time a little easier ❤


Wow the melody in the verse is just absolutely crazy and amazing!🔥🔥


your voice sounds like a flute in the harmonies such a LOVELY tone


It’s my birthday today and I’m so happy to be able to wake up to Dodie’s beautiful singing!! Things can’t get much better than that ❤


every time you do a demo song like this i always feel like they’re the ones with the most emotional impact


I love the modal feel there’s to it! The chord progression and the melody is so interesting. Great job, Dodie xxx


"heaving life into the dead" wow, what a lyric..


The more I listen to this the more I love it. It’s so mesmerizing and I can’t get enough


the ACOUSTICS in that room wow you sound angelic but also eerie? idk but i love it


Really love this, and I hope your cheese-grated thumb heals soon! <3


Everything about this song is absolutely beautiful. Thank you for sharing your words and your melodies.


2:30 Idk if its just funky tuning or something else but the contrast of the light high pitch singing with the low pitch backing track is such a mood
also please make this a full song i love ittt


this is beautiful. i love how personal all of your songs feel.


Your song writing is maturing so beautifully. I cant wait to see where it goes.


This song really hit hard for me and everything I'm going through right now so thank you. Your music is so inspiring and beautiful!


Omg this has something mythical to it and I really feel like that she vibe is coming to me again also a bit of Arms Unfloding love it


CANNOT W A I T FOR THE OFFICIAL VERSION ON THE ALBUM 💕✨


obviously this is the opposite of what we are supposed to take away from this song. but hearing dodie refer to what i assume is us as her daughters made me feel loved i’m sorry


Thank you so much for making music. In the name of the human race, THANK YOU.


I really love how you write. It breaks me everytime. 😭💜


This gave me chills so hard that even though I am snuggled in a thick comforter it felt like a strong wind went through my entire body and now I am still cold. Dodie you are really cool. These demos are awesome.


This needs to be released omg I love it sm. I need the chords 😔🥺 it’s beautiufl


hello Dodie! just wanted you to know that when I was younger, I wanted to be just like you. hope you know there are people like me who love you with their whole heart 🖤


So pretty as always! I love the background noise! It fits in so well!


I really love this one. (also the chord progressions and humming bits give me the same vibe as the song  'In Ear Park' by Department Of Eagles)


I LOVE this SO SO much, the crescendo and decrescendos are just fantastic


This is haunting and gorgeous and I love it so much <3


please please please make this a single !!!!! i love those minor notes in the verses that shouldn’t fit but do so well !!  🥺🥺🥺🥺


I can’t stop playing this on loop, I’m obsessed 😍😍


I need the chords for this, it's so beautiful and i'm definetly attached


I keep coming back to this one- genuinely so beautiful


The soft humming in the second chorus is maybe the most beautiful thing I've ever heard please do alosim!!!


This song is so interesting!! The chorus really hits it home for me, I really understand that feeling. Also the line “I hate the world but it doesn’t care,” really gets at this frustration I feel almost constantly now. This is great!!


I love. I’m in love. I love this so much.


your lyrics are so perfectly worded, every line feels intricate and thoughtful and it's so so inspiring


Crazy how you've gotten so good over the years, your lyrics and melodies just keep getting better and better


Everyone coming out with these beautiful meanings for this amazing song and then there's me who saw the title and just thought 'is this about losing an egg when you have your menstrual cycle?'


dodie has made my april feel like sunshine and i couldn’t ask for anything better


i think this one is my favourite of all of them so far, it's haunting yet almost whimsical at the same time


I keep coming back to this demo, I think it's my favourite. Laura Marling vibes.


This is so beautiful. I love the melody.


Seeing a new Dodie upload is always the best part of my day. These songs are getting me through the year of April.<br>p.s. that reverb is * chef's kiss *

p.s. that reverb is * chef's kiss *


there's something almost spiritual about this song that I am absolutely in love with

also DANG what a chorus. i'll just be reeling from that for the next hour it's fine


Omg I love the setting, you look great, the ukulele? is flipping awesome, and the the song, just is so gorgeous! I love everything about this demo! I love hearing to car driving by, the acoustics Ahhhh!!! So beautiful!


this is incredible. the energy of the whole video feels like a reassurance that everything will be okay


This reminds me of that song that plays in the credits of “Wall.E” I’m not exactly sure why but anyway this song is hauntingly beautiful <3


just want to take a moment to appreciate how lovely you look in this video dodie! 💕


The harmony in the chorus gave me chilllsssss ❤


saw this on her instagram livestream and it's nice to hear it more finished! her voice is gorgeous.


this is definitely my fav alosia demo yet!! so beautiful<br>also can anyone tell me what uke she's playing on?

this is definitely my fav alosia demo yet!! so beautiful
also can anyone tell me what uke she's playing on?


I’ve rewatched these millions of times please can we get them on Spotify 🥺🥺🥺


i know you said not to get attached to these songs but i keep coming back to this one bc it’s STELLAR


everytime i see you post a song/demo im so amazed by your songwriting skills. you can make something absolutely beautiful from your brain im ASTONISHED


I have chills. This is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard. It's truly an artful puzzle piece.


All her pieces are so haunting and fae. At first i was caught by how quiet she is, how her lower notes almost disappear, almost like she doesnt have enough in the tank to get it out, but once you hear all the pieces of the melody those quiet places just pull you in deeper to get lost in her world. Love it very witchy


I’ve been listening to your DEMOs NONSTOP!! These videos have made my quarantine 100% better!


my goodness. the flow of ‘how they love me/ all my daughters/ but i’m screaming/ underwater’ gives me chills.


Omg it's THE song 🥺❤

I always loved the melody but now that I hear the lyrics better I fell in love with those too. So many relatable lines


I think this might be my favorite demo from alosia 💜


I really can't explain just how much I love this and how many times I've listened to it


These songs are really helping me currently in life and I want you to know that I really appreciate you


I'VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS SINCE I SAW IT ON INSTA I'M CRYING


You're such an inspiration, darling. Thank you. Beautiful as always.


How is every song she writes/ performs is amazing!!


Wow. It’s like you channelled this song. It reminds me so much of what someone I know is going through... thank you for the message. You’re an earth angel Dodie. ✨🙏✨


It could be neat to release an EP called DEMO with just whatever recordings you have of each of these bc I have, against your recommendations, gotten attached to each song


I would seriously wait if she made all these full songs I would wait man there all amazing 💖💖💖


This is so damn good, ugh Dodie is so talented :)


it's just insane that this - for really real - is done in one live take
and the song is equally amazing
thank you for sharing this!


Im SO jealous of that uke.<br>It's just so aesthetic-

Im SO jealous of that uke.
It's just so aesthetic-


this is SUCH a beautiful song i wish i knew the chords aa


this has such a beautiful acoustic properties, the walking around aimlessly it's just so idk sweet, picturesque. i love it and this song


i heard this on your live and loved it! can’t wait for more songssss


Beautiful. The song. The singer. Just mwah! Absolutely gorgeous.


Dodie...you perfect human...you have managed to write a song that has perfectly summed up what I've been trying to explain for years. Thank you


Oml whatever building you're in is absolutely gorgeous

@Charlie you cant get acoustics like that with a green screen..

to me it looks soulless! and empty! a great setting for the song, kinda makes dodie look like she's lost n trapped, which fits the tone

Me at building : the girl inside you is absolutely gorgeous

@Melissa Pflug you're welcome! Its gorgeous isnt it? I'm so jealous of her flats lobby

Ebony Harris ohhhh that makes sense! Thank you :)

From reading other comments, it's the lobby from her flat! Like apartment lobby.

It's her flats lobby (she said in a tweet)

all that glass and the tasteful chairs wowie so cute!


the strumming sounds so old school doddleoddle if made me feel some type of way🥺


The lyrics, the vocals, the acoustics, the progression, the tears im shedding right now

Dodie omg i love you/ 10


I already love this song and I’m 1 minute in lol ❤❤❤


The end is me when my mom comes into my room while I’m singing 🤣🤣🤣. Also THIS IS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SOMG OMGGG


I love the style of these alosia songs. They feel subtly musical theatry. The storytelling in them is just so interesting


"Heaving life into the dead" and "I’ll grow the bones myself then". OH MY FUCKING GOD. The melody of those two verses is just so perfect. It's so weird and eerie(?).  I get goose bumps  every time. Sorry for the excitement over two verses, but i have this weird thing, where i have those favorite snippets in all songs that i like and i anticipate them every time, also i'm drunk at the mment. Love you Dodie.


God I swear please let this make it onto Spotify ❤ need it in my life lol  it’s too late, I’m already attached to this song whoops


this setting and the sound.... wow incredible dodie!!!


Love you !!!! Continue things like this because it sounds amazing ! Big kisses from France !!!!


Even without earphones my ears felt blessed by those harmonies ohhhh boy I have no much regret not hearing that for the first time with earphones you should have warned me hahahah


this is going to be my most favorite album of all time AND I KNOW IT


Hey gurl,<br>Love you so much, what an amazing person you are ❤

Hey gurl,
Love you so much, what an amazing person you are ❤


All of this is so powerful and the chorus just gets me mentally and I feel attacked but in a good bad way, and Im gonna go cry and wish dodie love


How beautiful song! And such an adorable voice...


this has such a sinister musical vibe, I am obsessed with this.


I said it on the live and I'll say it again, we need this one on an album


I keep replaying this video. So beautiful 🌼✨💗


A real evolution in your songwriting is happening right now, I feel. And we get to experience it! :)


i can’t even with these back-to-back demos.. and i love them all and can’t wait to hear what you do with these


THIS SONG IS AMAZING AND DESERVES MORE LOVE FROM THE INTERNET


This gives me so much peace,i can stop listening 🤩


"alosiq" - a lot of songs in the quarantine - thank you, dodie <3


even just the intro is absolutely beautiful<3


I lost my mum about a month ago and the first two verses hit me. They capture my grief quite neatly. Love you Dodie ❤


I probably shouldn’t be listening to this at 3 am but here I am with insomnia and emotional 🥺


imagine if she created a whole lofi ep with all of the alosia songs 🥺🥺🥺


i like to picture all of your songs as sisters. i really want to do a big project where i design all your songs as characters (including youtube-only releases)


wow after just one minute i can tell this is my new favourite. This is beautiful


This prompted a much needed cry, thank you 💕💕💕💕


Does anyone know what chords she's playing? Im in love with this song!!


listens to the greatest demo of all
"That was a Take"
smacks pilar
Greatest thing ever xD

*listens to the greatest demo of all*
"That was a Take"
*smacks pilar*
Greatest thing ever xD


this song is so gorgeous i come back to it very frequently


I think this is my favourite demo so far :D


This song and cool girl.  Get it on Spotify please!! I need it


i didnt know what to say but i have to say something so heres my comment:<br>I LOVE this, and you and everything you do, THE END.

i didnt know what to say but i have to say something so heres my comment:
I LOVE this, and you and everything you do, THE END.


This is so unique and beautiful, PLEASE use it!


i come back and listen to this every day, its so perfect.


wow something about this has unlocked another part of my mind. This is one of the best songs i’ve heard in a long time. I was gaping the whole time listening to it


Lyrics-Comment if I made mistakes! *Star means I'm not sure xx

Someone hold me down
Before I book a flight to your front door
Noone else will bring relief
And I don't wanna grieve

*Giving life unto the dead
The book is closed
The words were said
*Everyone besides us knows how to let go

I felt it all go slack
*I went aloud
I need it back
I'll grow the bones myself then on my own again

I'm 25, I'm 25
And all this shit proves I'm alive
But I spend the day just spending days
Take it away

I am not who they think I am
I try too hard not to give a damn
But I feel it, how they love me,
All my daughters, but I'm screaming underwater
I will hurt you, almost definitely, ask the people who have left me

Was there any other way?
*Different paths on different days
Every lover walking free
Now rid of me

I'm on a train, I'm in a car
*Wishing my hair, I'm in the dark
I hate the world and it doesn't care
We just sit there

I'm not who they think I am
I try too hard not to give a damn
But I feel it
X2
How they love me
All my daughters, but I'm screaming underwater
I will hurt you, almost definitely,
Ask the people who have left me


I’m now crying cause I was trying to find words to express how I feel and this is exactly it


This is amazing it makes me feel things 🥺🥺


I would do just about anything for more of this amazing song


I really needed this tonight dodie...thank you.


Definitely hope this becomes a full song at some point, it's too raw for it to not have a place in the charts 🤞🏼


In order to solve the ALOSIA problem, just do ALOSII (a lot of songs in isolation) bc imma be sad if no more demos come out!!!


alosia and escapril are dragging me kicking and screaming back into writing music again. this is amazing


Imagine making me cry this much >:'(( this is amazing


this is almost like a resentful reply to burned out


I aspire to write songs like u bc damnn my heart hurts for this 💔


I love this! A name for the songs after April could be ALOSIQ/ALOSII (a lot of songs in quarantine/isolation)


are we able to get a tutorial on how to play this song? I love it so much is all, and it would be super cool to learn to play it :) Thankyou!


That's just so beautiful.. you sing so beatifully. 😍💞

is it just me or u guys also felling that fairytale vibes while listenin dodie's voice with ukulele
it's just so magical and gets me every fuckin time


all the nights I've been crying, seeing this helped calm me down ;;


i will do anything for an "alosim" bc dodie is getting me through this quarantine


i LOVE the vibes of this. reminds me of agnes obels music yet still wholly unique and the CHORDS??? the HARMONIES???? the MELODY ITSELF????? the verses have this sort of meandering up and down but the chorus is more stable, and it all gives the song this vibe of being almost underwater and i love it


these lyrics hit me so hard that they embedded into my soul and bloomed into flowers


I am LIVING for the melancholy in your songs


omg i fucking love the acoustics in here. you demos are literally the only thing keeping me sane x


god, I love it.
is so beautiful!
this is <3 one my favs! of alosia
I mean MATCH I click with it instantaneously


Just saw the live with else on instagram a few hours ago..it was the purest and most beautiful thing ever! <br>Also we really need all these songs to become an album or ep or something! I could listen to them all day

You could make an entire album of all the demos from alosia and it would be sooooo good


I love how all the background noise is there like if this was recorded (and I hope it will) that there would be like the sound of cars rushing by and trees in the wind and birds singing. I feel like it's just me but those sounds always make me feel really calm.


the purity of this pERFORMANCE is unmatched i love her so fuckign fkd much. i wonder how long these take to write??


This song is so incredibly good and i am crying


Realy beautiful! And once again so many lovely comments. :)<br>I like the line "I' not who they think I am", because - Who really ever is?

So beautiful. Soothing and soulful. Thank you for sharing your gift. <br>👍🤟💕

👍🤟💕


god I just keep coming back to this song, I love it so much..


I think this is my favourite ALOSIA so far... also, what mic are you using to record the audio?? :)


you are beautiful and so is everything you create ♡


I ADORE THIS SONG!! I hope your thumb feels better!


How could we not get attached to masterpieces like this?!


this vibes so good, like you got me and some kinda trance, lovely <3


oooh I remember this one from that tiny snippet but it sounds EVEN BETTER now, so gorgeous aaaa


im literally obsessed with this. this is like my 9th time back here i keep coming back


I have never seen anyone fit so perfectly in a room while also looking so misplaced before


how am I supposed to not fall in love with all of these songs


It's sounds beutifull ✨<br>congrat, beutifull angel ❤

It's sounds beutifull ✨
congrat, beutifull angel ❤


I saw this on your Instagram story a while ago and remember thinking how much I loved it


Never stop being you, through the good and bad times, just let yourself shine dodie, we all love you and you are so many of our idols ❤


Okay but Dodie is so beautiful and is an amazing writer, it is unbelievable and I fall in love with her songs every time I hear them


wow, your voice sounds absolutely angelic


I need an album with all these DEMOs at my table RIGHT. NOW.


Dodie going from being really cool and confident while playing to shy and awkward when she hears the elevator is the sweetest thing


I haven’t listened and yet I know it’s beautiful 🥺🖤


Still obsessed w this song!!! "I'm 25, I'm 25 and all this sh*t proves I'm alive" 💕 turning 22 in 3 days but like....just the feeling that everything you've been through means you've made it but it also weighs you down ugh


If this doesn’t make it onto an album I will be devastated this was so utterly stunning I just can’t


PLEASE PUT THEM ON SPOTIFY 🥺 I HAVE BECOME ATTACHED


<b>extended metaphor alert!</b>            contrary to your belief, you’re a lovely “music mother” to all your “daughters.”  maybe you haven’t always been the best “mother,” but you’ve gotten a lot better at it!  and you can’t be there for everyone- the family is too big.  you’re doing your best.                                                                    this was a lovely song!

there's always a moment right when a dodie song starts where i have to figure out the tune because the instrumental is so quiet


okay 1) this is absolutely beautiful like woww! 2) im convinced ive heard this before?? like part of it? Was it on her story or something at somepoint? or am I just going mad??


you are STUNNING. i don’t want ALOSIA to be over :( ❤


I felt very heavy a moment ago now I feel a lot lighter thank u doddie 😁


i love her lyrics so much she is the MAIN reason i made a youtube channel as a place to upload songs
and the acoustics are amazing
and her SKIRT
my inspiration


This sounds like it could be a nice rock tune and if that were to happen with that demo I'd be SO HAPPY

But that demo just on its own is...
Incredible.

Thank you, dodie ^^


PLEASE DONT LET THIS BE JUST A DEMO ITS SO GOOD


this is definitely my favourite one yet 🥺


This has an ethereal musical number vibe to it. Sort of like the transition from Seventeen's chorus back to the verse, or an Into the Woods number.


This song sits in my soul dude!!!!!! On repeat


THIS IS FANTASTIC! BRAVO! <br>My girlfriend and I have finally started to record singing videos together after a year together because I've been nervous to sing in front of her for so long. ANYWAYS! We finally uploaded a video and I'm hoping to do a cover of one of your songs soon 💕

I’ve been listening to ALOSIA waiting for the song that will break me. Here we are and I’m crying at 8.30am listening to this on repeat


Can you please please PLEASE do a tutorial on how to play this song?!?! I'm so obsessed with it but I can't figure out how to play it and I would love to play it


I've streamed this song sooooo many times lol I love you <3


In such a shitty time for the whole world, at the very least we get to witness this incredibly fruitful creative time.  Very inspiring. Thanks, Dodie!


I’m kinda hype I remembered dodie existed again. These new demos are like the best thing ever during quarantine.


“That was a take” smacks column is my new favorite Dodie moment.

“That was *a* take” *smacks column* is my new favorite Dodie moment.


Brooooo, when is this coming to Spotify? I need this in my playlist.


this song gives such a melancholy eery mood and i love it


You can see the pain
Hear the pain
Listen closely and you can feel it too.


PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE can we get all of these on Spotify 🥺🥺🥺


This was chef's kiss good! especially that chorus but every part of the song is good and memorable. Makes me wonder if you wrote it in one and parts led on easily or originally in a few parts


all of these alosia songs are giving me a sense of nostalgia and they feel like songs from a musical. idk why but i love them so much


You say beautiful things in a beautiful manner with a beautiful voice accompanied with you playing beautiful notes on your guitar.


does a demo mean it’s just for fun or does it mean this is a sneak peek of how it is before the full thing is on spotify and itunes and everything? i hope the latter 🤞


Hi! I love this song and I have a question... I would love to play this on my ukulele and I just wanted to know what the strumming pattern is? I can't find it anywhere and if nobody knows it's okay I'll make it up lmao but I would just like to be sure lol.


Oh my absolute goodness this song. I need these chords oml


Ok but can we talk about the VIDEO QUALITY OF THIS VIDEO?? I love it and the song so much, they contrast each other so perfectly.


THE VIBE OF THIS IS JUST IDK I JUST LOVE IT


YES this song has been stuck in my head since you sang it on ig live


I love everything about this song in this video, in this now.


I have to watch this at least once a day to keep me from going insane


Dodie I am so happy of the fact that your making some videos again. I miss you lots!!


I was listening to Dodie and as soon as the last song on the playlist ended, I got the notification that she uploaded another. The music gods said I needed to listen to one more!


I should just download all of your alosia songs to listen to them, since they're all so nice and beautiful!! Your voice is very calming and soothing (idk if I spelled that right), I could listen to your songs all day!!! 💜💜


shes so adorable and the song is great :)))


This is... so wonderfully eerie. With the slight reverb and her hauntingly beautiful voice, mixed with the unnerving chords... 👌


ah these demos just keep getting better & better - I don’t want ALOSIA to end 😭 (pls let ALOSIM happen)


I keep coming back to this I need it to be a thing. its unbelievably good


i love this from when you played it on your story <3


WOAHH this one's good it's so simple but complex and it genuinely just sounds like a mind thinking and whirring and honestly works so well and ahfjsbjsbdjs dj


ahh i was waiting for this video since you sang this on instagram live 💛


dodie, can we get an instruments tour? I've seen so many new ones lately and I want all the deets!


Dodie playing/singing this, walking around in a lonely room with cars passing silently behind her is honestly such an aesthetic and I’m here for it


the echo. i cannot. ma'am you are so angelic and beautiful please <br>i love the aesthetic of your surroundings and your voice and the lyrics all compliment each other and its so so pretty my heart is sinking oh my lord

the echo. i cannot. ma'am you are so angelic and beautiful please
i love the aesthetic of your surroundings and your voice and the lyrics all compliment each other and its so so pretty my heart is sinking oh my lord


I like the feeling in your voice. feels nice


'4. i'm wearing a backpack bc my ipad recording audio is in it lol
' I LOVE YOU AND YOUR MUSIC


HOLY SHIT DODIE this was so incredible! I can’t with this shit.


Dodie writing more Demos
Me: But we still getting that please listen closely tango full version though?

*Dodie writing more Demos*
Me: But we still getting that please listen closely tango full version though?


I love the sound of passing cars in the background while you're playing


this one might be my favourite of your unreleased demos since i won't be done (that's not to say i haven't loved a ton of them ! just that those ones <i>get</i> to me yk i love em)

this one might be my favourite of your unreleased demos since i won't be done (that's not to say i haven't loved a ton of them ! just that those ones _get_ to me yk i love em)


i swear you always release a song about what's going on in my life as soon as it is happening, are u some kind of omnipotent angel or sumn


"But I spend the days just spending days" wowwwww


Heck dude what Uke is that??? It sounds gorgeous! Great demo by the way, hope you're keeping well homie ✌🏻


i love it.... so , so , so much... cant wait to buy your album...


how did you keep your neighbours from walking through loudly. that always happens when i try to record in spaces like this. also! you must have courage :) i struggle to sing openly in public places and record it.

<b>gets to the end of the video</b> Ah. I see :D

*gets to the end of the video* Ah. I see :D


THIS IS THE BEST SONG I HAVE HEARD IN A LONG TIME!!!!!


dodie: these songs are just demos, dont get too attached!<br>Me: this song is my new bible.

dodie: these songs are just demos, dont get too attached!
Me: this song is my new bible.


This song is gorgeous and I love your vids/music/songs/voice/lyrics/writing/face but never being able to hear what you're playing on the uke/guitar drives me craaaaaazyyyyy girl they might as well be acapella (and gorgeous acapella at that though hey)

mostly its because your chord progressions and accompaniment arrangements are always so stunningly beautiful and unique and complex and unexpected and add so much to each song that I just want to hear every single tasty little morsel because I am all kinds of greedy for it


i rarely write a comment, but this song is just too beautiful!


this is so cozy but haunting at the same time!


omg you’re finally claiming me as your daughter ?🥺


what microphone did you use? also, I love this song!!


this is incredible<br>every song or demo she's put out during this alosia has been pure magic in its own way, i love all the new directions she's trying

this is incredible
every song or demo she's put out during this alosia has been pure magic in its own way, i love all the new directions she's trying


The song is song is so prettyyyyyy and I feel like the person walking in at the end shows this sort of beautiful imperfection of the take


"And all this shit proves that i'm alive". So so true. No real life without hearbreak, misery and tragedy. Life is how you manage to get around it 🌠


Weekly dose of dodie keeps me happy, that's a fact


Please release this as a main song.🙏🙏I honestly now am thinking of getting a tattoo of "all my daughters " 😭😭🌻🧡I love this!!! Beautifully written!


Your voice feels like drinking warm tea while looking at the rain sprinkle down outside


the way the melody, chords and harmonies all fit together and bounce off each other is so complex and beautiful damn


If you feel like it, I woul LOVE to hear you sing liability but lorde 🥺❤


I NEED YOU ON SPOTIFY , like, now. your style is so delicate and original i'm in love


So jealous of Dodie's neighbours right now 😂 Imgine how beautiful it would be to sit down and just hear that echoing through your door... ❤


This is the best thing I have ever heard in my entire life. I have transcended.


I love these video's, yes please to more :D


I don't know how but you managed to convey the sounds of a whole band of instruments with one ukelele and ur voice


i want an official recorded version of this song SO BAD it's just better every time I listen to it

ive got great news savanna from two months ago


dodie did it again. Putting words on a feeling of mine... so many meanings, so much depth. Breath: taken away, again.


This. Is. My. Shit  ✌🏻 This one spoke to me a lot 💗💗


My second favorite ALOSIA song after Bite Back 🥺💕


This reminds me of Flowers from Hadestown a lot


i know i shouldnt get attached to these demos but this might be my new fav songggg im reading her book rn and i cried to this song


there’s something about the cars and the people going past outside the window while dodie stands in an open place singing so beautifully and I’m crying


Absolutely beautiful..only complaint (with a lot of her songs unfortunately) is her guitar is extremely quiet, i understand soft playing but it's to the point where my volume is all the way up and can barely hear any guitar!


they way you are dressed here the way you sing the CITY everything I- don’t have words-


woooooooops left the fukin door closin  at the beginning sorry if it scared u lol


i wish i could write songs as beautiful as yours...


It’s been raining all day and the sun came out as I was listening to this, it must be a sign


Ahhhhh I wish all these alosia songs were on Spotify


"someome hold me down before i book a flight to your front door, no one else will bring relief" is such a big mood jesus


Aw I love this! also how the hell did you do this in public good job!


Last time I was this early there was no global pandemic 😂


I hope you know I am attached. These songs are so goooooooood. :)


I loved every single one so far but you MUST release this one its so fucking good 😭😭😭


Ok I know it might not but this song HAS to be released I can hear the orchestra in it please please please


what do u mean this alosia was almost a yeaAr ago


HOW DO YOU KEEP ALL THESE SONGS INSIDE YOUR BRAIN


This song, this video, this aesthetic; this is just such mood.


this has burned out vibes and i looove it


Ok they’re all so beautiful but this ones my favourite


I love the sound of the lydian verses going to that haunting melody in dorian in the chorus.


Indie songs be like: enunciation?? I dont know her


This is my favorite. This and don’t quite belong, cool girl, please listen closely


holy shit the harmonies and dissonance in this are gorgeous and so good at invoking changes in mood


I feel like the three themes could be growing up is hard, relationships are hard, and having people look up to you is hard.


Need the full song and album now please 🙏


I will never get tired of ALOSIA. What the hell, being on ALOSIM, ALOSIJ!!!! I want em all


oh my god i remember this on your insta story and i fell in love immediately


when I first listened to this song, I pictured a deity or goddess singing mournfully to her creations


i kinda got the ed sheeran vibes from this song, don’t know why. it is really beautiful.

лера карпенко


dodie’s songs just belong in a musical one day!! like honestly u could write a whole storyline with ups and downs all articulated by dodie’s songs, especially these alosia ones, just so so emotional and just written so much more like a character telling their story in a musical rather than anything in the charts right now.


Omg Dodie I haveeeee to know what this song means to you!!! Is it about your relationship with your dad? Or your parents? Your sister? I relate to this song sm gahhhh it’s amazing. Great job dodes :)


this is the song you sang in your live once
idk why but i just really really like the tune of this one
there's something to it
or maybe it's because i felt this connection while you were serenading it to us that one day, and now i can't let go


hey dodie! i was wondering if the song written over tik tok live will be released on here? i loved it so much! unless, it will be a project? idk just wondering. love you!


This song feels like a montage of someone constantly checking their phone and waiting for a notification from someone else only to slowly accept that they won’t get one


I must have this song to listen to in my car in a rainstorm


I want to hear this as a soundtrack, If that makes sense? I want to see a character making decisions and stroking their hair ans shit WHILE THIS SONG IS PLAYING. I know it sounds silly, but I can see it in my head and its so cool, damn


I feel as if every single Alosia song could be easily part of a movie.


Are the daughters your emotions? Even though they can be harsh sometimes, take all your energy, you love them and they are the reason you live.


If you don't leave in the bang at the beginning it won't feel the same after we've listened to this 500 times hahah


i hadn't time to watch the others when they were new, but i just watched this and noW I REGRET NOT LISTENING TO THE OTHERS BEFORE WHY IS THIS SO GOOD WHAT


That “I’m not who they think I am” is so magical...


Love you videos Dodie your the best singer on YouTube


Acoustics on POINT. Body figure GOALS. Aesthetic STUNNING.


i really like... hear your lyrics. idk if that makes sense. a lot of songs i focus on the melody alone, but with yours i listen to and think about every word as well. you tell a story through your music, and that is so difficult to find in 2020. also ur whole vibe AGH love it


please please plEASE upload more! even if it’s just short silly stuff- i’ve been following you since like 2015 and i miss u lmao :’)


uhm m’am i’m going to need the baritone uke chords for this and every other alosia song pls i love this too much


I feel like Dodie is one those people who are pleasing to all the senses


cute outfit and beautifully haunting song thank u dodes


am i allowed to use this as music in the background in my video because this is perfect :”(( !!!


I find this song so haunting. And brilliant.


the chorus is giving me AURORA vibes and i'm here for it !!!!!


I would appreciate a tutorial for this song btw


i just... omygod all your demos are just... SO GOOD. i already thought you were an amazing song writer but HOLY SHIT those FuKCINg DEMOSs fuck holy shit fuck man damn oh damn please make an album outta them please this is so good i love it man the melodies and shit FUCK I FUCKINGH LOVE IT SHIIIITITTEZPIJGGSD


How to live the rest of your day like your in a music video and in your feelings, listen to some of dodies songs 😂  I’m not complaining 😂


Holy sh*t I clicked on this accidentally and I couldn't stop listening! Same feeling when I first discovered birdy


Hey dodie could you make the instruments louder? They’re really hard to hear


You make me want to write music. When I hear notes I can make melodies so quickly, and I can only dream of music theory. Writing pieces and songs. Every time you talk about the way you write songs, it makes me want to just figure it out. What does an a scale have to do with a song? Or a b one, what does that sound like? How would I intermix all of these things into a song to make it sound lovely, or how does music theory make songs make sense? It feels like another language.


PLEASE make an alosia EP just use the audio from the videos and the thumbnail of cool girl as a cover art and put it on Spotify pleaseeeeeeeee


im really sad that you took down some of your videos speaking about your mental health and past traumatic experiences. I can understand that you may not want to have it on the internet anymore for privacy reasons. But those videos really spoke to my soul.  It helped me understand some of the things that go on in my own mind, helped me process some of my own past traumas. They meant a lot to me as a subscriber and I really hope that you do make more content like that one day.

they're still there! just in the playlist on my profile <3


Tell why I am literally in my bed with ear buds in with TEARS DOWN MY FACE


How do you even write this stuff I Admire You


I hope Dodie does a video breaking this song down. I can tell it's about past love, not being able to let go, and how that affects new relationships. But I don't understand the lines about "all my daughters".


Can you put these on SoundCloud and call it Dodies Demos??? 😭😭😭💜💜💜💜


I have chills dodie. This is haunting but in a good way


okay for real though the walk hitting at the end is a mood (also this song is gorgeous)


the fact that I keep coming back to this song.......I'm only 21 but it still hits me like a train :'\


And dodies neighbours are out there getting this live music for free 🥺 jealousss :((


who else thinks she should make an album called alosia/quarentine/covid tinkers and include all of these vibes


The acoustics, the aesthetics, this songggg. You are on a roll dodie


this is everything I have ever wanted in an aesthetic


I tried to scream
But my head was underwater
They called me weak
Like I'm not just somebody's daughter


I love the song !!!! I wanted know what’s the name of your microphone


I love the slight sound of the cars with your singing you are asmr


I think this song would be in a musical that came out like now that's like a dope fusion of modern musicals and classic shows.


Maybe I’m way far off but have you been listening to beatles lately because I’m getting some serious beatles vibes from these harmonies and it’s amazing 😍


let’s be honest all of us are getting far too attached to these songs and we are doing nothing to stop ourselves because THEY’RE SO DAMN GOOD


I would sincerely die for the chords to this


every demo is my fav but i think this is truly my fav. alSO LOOK AT THOSE NICE ACOUSTICS


WHY IS YOUR GUITAR SO SMALL ahhh so cute. <3 I am practicing with one but it's literally taller than me when I sit down.<br>...Or is it a giant ukulele?

WHY IS YOUR GUITAR SO SMALL ahhh so cute. <3 I am practicing with one but it's literally taller than me when I sit down.
...Or is it a giant ukulele?


I seriously love dodie. I guess I can’t say that because I don’t actually personally know her, but what she does with her platform and the music she shares means SO so much to me. All of her music is seriously so beautiful, and even if it isn’t my style all the time I still appreciate it. I wish all modern music was like this. Respect dodie, respect.


This is amazing! Can I just ask a genuine question? I hope I won't sound rude. Why do you sometimes write songs that have parts so on the low end of your vocal range, that makes it hard for you to get a clean sound out of them? Like you can make what you want out of your own song, and have such a clear bright high sound, couldn't you put it a couple of semitones higher? I really don't want to sound cocky or rude, I just have a quite high voice and my vocal coach always tells me that I am stubborn about keeping some songs low, but that doesn't make my voice stand out so I thought that maybe you could make use of the same piece of advice? Again please don't take my comment in a bad way, I so don't wanna hurt your feelings, and the song really is great! Just thought maybe this could be useful.

@doddlevloggle ahahaah oh ok I see! 🤣 Maybe you could try afterwards to adjust the key idk, I'm not actually that expert ahah <br>btw, thank you for answering and for doing such a cool project as alosia in this difficult period❤

btw, thank you for answering and for doing such a cool project as alosia in this difficult period❤

That’s okay! Genuinely I am so bad at writing for my voice - i write what I know is a good melody for the song and THEN I go “oh shit well I hope I can sing that”


i am back, can´t wait to listen this on spotify


This is my favourite! along with that song that's like a tango


dodie u said not to get attached but this is my absolute fav of the demos u put out oh my GOD


Does anyone know the chords? I’d love to play this but I can’t find any chord sheets online!


can a clip mic really record audio so well???


This really really really reminds me of the movie "her" because your voice is so soft but there's no jamba juice colors.


This one is it<br>Wow do I love the tune and the lyrics

This one is it
Wow do I love the tune and the lyrics


God, Ive been so mad for so many years!!!!! I went to a brybry concert (while he was brybry) And it was the first time I've ever heard you sing, i didnt get to meet you! it makes me so mad! but I have a group picture of us and the crowd! My girlfriend and I at the time went to your show and i fell in love with you. We both went to Bry and Candice and didn't get to meet you and i regret it so much


Props to Dodie for making us all feel better during Coronavirus and still looking as pretty as ever 🥰


please finish Please Listen Closely! I love all of them but I'm so attached to that one and I would cry so much if you never release it on Spotify, even if you decide not to finish it just put out what you have so far


Jezzz Just PLEASE PLEASE Dodie, put this song on the next album 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻


You should post the video of the song you wrote with fans on tik tok!! I loved it, even if it’s short and sweet, I would love to listen to it here on youtube


i spent this entire time wondering how many takes she had to do bc of people coming through


i love this one, because i cant tell exactly what it is about


The song is brilliant but can we talk about how cute Dodie looks in that outfit?


has anyone figured out the chords on ukulele for this song? :))


This is haunting and comforting all at once?


aw the vegan mac n cheese video from you was my favorite :(( I hope people weren't being mean on the videos that got taken down, hun. I hope you're doing well <3

doddleoddle oh thank you sm for letting me know 🥺❤

nah everyone is so lovely! I just hid them from being searched lol - they're on the playlist on my profile!


am i crazy or did she give us a preview of this on her instagram story?


I have an itch about what this song is about (or at least two out of three) and if im correct than this song means a lot more than I thought it did. alosia is a lot more than just demos


The echo-ish in the background because of the building, it adds sort of a depth. Or maybe that’s just the power of editing.


Imagine being one of these cars passing and never knowing you were passing by genius


Its such  a mix of emotions when you feel lost and uncertian and don't like yourself very much and people tell you you inspire them and they want to be like you, its like a very complicated  imposter syndrome


hi i’m not even a minute in but i love the aesthetic of this video


Ughhhh you inspire me so muchhhhh😩😩😩 I just want to go write a song now😩😩


oh my word dodie don’t let these just be demos my friend


“that was A TAKE” [wall slapp] dodie serving moods


this needs to be on the...
you know what dodie. pls. big pls. even in this quality.

this needs to be on the...
*you know what* dodie. pls. big pls. even in this quality.


stoop I'm not ready for ALOSIA to be over!!


I turned on captions and it said “daughter’s buttock screaming” 😂


that was a take slaps wall

yeah that's me every time i try to record anything. i felt that

that was *a* take _slaps wall_

yeah that's me every time i try to record anything. i felt that


LYRICS

Someone hold me down, the floor
I book a flight to your front door
No one else will bring relief
And I don't wanna grieve

Heaving life until the dead
The book is closed, the walls were said
Everyone but me just knows how to let go
Hmm, hm hm, hm hm, hm hmmm, hm hm

I felt it all go slack
I want it loud, I need it back
I'll grow the bones myself, then
On my own again
I'm twenty-five, I'm twenty-five
And all the shit proves I'm alive
But I spend the day just spending days
Take it away

I'm not who they think I am
I try too hard not to give a damn
But I feel it
How they love me
All my daughters
But I'm screaming
Underwater
I will hurt you
Almost definitely
Ask the people who have left me
Hmm, hm hm, hm hm, hm hmmm, hm hm
Was there any other way
Different paths, a different day
Every lover walking free
Now rid of me
I'm on a train
I'm in a car
Washing my hair
I'm in the dark
I hate the world, and it doesn't care
We just sit there

(Hmmmmm)
I'm not who they think I am
Hm hm hm hm hm
(Hmmmmm)
I try real hard not to give a damn
But I feel it
How they love me
All my daughters
But I'm screaming
Underwater
I will hurt you
Almost definitely
Ask the people who have left me

Hmm, hm hm, hm hm, hm hmmm, hm hm


cant we add all the alosias and other demos on a streaming platform? or like upload them as a podcast? idrk I just need this on something where I can stream without internet.


You have soo much hair!  Like tons of Hair.  And I like it when you smile.  You should smile more.  That clearly makes other people smile.


shit dodes, this lyric style is so cool on you. i don't think this one fits in movies or musicals like some others do, its so... specific, and vaguely reminds me of other songs that do that, that thing where you can latch onto bits and attach meaning or understand the artists meaning but you cant know exactly what all the words mean to them so when you listen to it you piece together parts of your life and each lyric will resound with something and it forms this collage of feelings from your life with every listen


Definitely a take I'll listen to again. Not sure why exactly, but this one hit me lyrically (I know they're not 1 story--which is awesome) as well as auditorily. Thanks very much, Dodie & great job! Hope you & yours are safe and healthy :)


What's really funny is I read the title and immediately thought "oh yay, it's for me!"

Jk you occupy a similar space in my brain to my older cousins who I just think are really cool and who sometimes give me their old clothes/books. No pressure to parent lol.


Oof<br>I loved this one so fucking much !!!

Oof
I loved this one so fucking much !!!


How can each song dodie makes hit me harder than the one before. I can not stress enough that dodies music is the most beautiful music i have ever heard in my whole 17 years on eARTH ! arrghhh


I really like this one alot!!  it needs added lyrics or something in the humming parts you did.... just sayin.... this might be something for you.


I know you aren’t releasing these in an album but I wish you would :(


you dont have your patreon in the dooblie doo also known as the description bar you should put that in there so peoples can donate to you and keep these wonderful songs coming


this might be my favorite from alosia 😳😳


Can’t it be ALOSAI (pronounced a-lo-say) a lot of songs isolation? I mean, your not completely in isolation but everyone’s isolating themselves, and this is going on for a few months, so that could work!


I know she said not to get attached but like....please add this one omfg I’m so in love


Does this one hit? Why yes. Yes it does.


Omg this is the one she’s posted little clips of!!! :D:D

Also, yes please re: ALOSIA(fm)


ohhhhh shit this is my fave one so far (apart from the andalusian tip-y one)


sooooo..... when did you say you were releasing it on Spotify?..   :)


Seeing “doddleoddle just posted a video “ makes my FUckin DAY💛😆😆😆


I love her work, but I feel awful because I am not as good as her.


pleaseeeeeeeeeee alosim pleaseeeeee dodie you are bringing so much life and love into quarantine


this gives me strong after burned out vibes


HER SUBTLE HARMONIES SPEAK TO MY CORE I’m JUST SKCBANKFKZ


this song feels like a very heavy hankering for the past because of how negatively the speaker speaks of herself

U sound like my English teacher and I’m about it


Lately I've felt sad and burnt out and now a new feeling called "this song fucking hurts because it's relatable"


i don’t understand how you can write this many songs


Why are all the best musicians suddenly putting out their best music like it's nothing at the same time as I snap an arm in half and break the other? It's torture not being able to play anything.


The location 😍 the song 😍 it’s all right


pLEASE KEEP GOING, we'll keep calling it alosia and just ignore what it means HAHAHAHA


this is?? so incredible?? I??? dodie how do you do this?????


This almost sounds like a Broadway show tune. Like the song the main character sings before everything falls apart...


weirdest thing ever - i click the video, enter, and see no views, yet there are already 234 likes and 43 comments... what? also - dodie - this is a great song!!


Has anyone figure out the chords to this?? I know i could try but i’m lazy lol


Chidi Anagonye I liked this comment cause I’ve been listening to a lot of mitski with little dodie breaks in between


IDK WHY BUT SOMETHING ABOUT THAT HUMMING IS AWAKENING SOMETHING IN ME


It's hard to hear but the chords are Sweeney Todd vibes


Oh also I'm dying because she's so pretty and this song is just adding so much and I'm dying I'm dead now she killed me no one arrest her


omg how resourceful using your backpack to carry your ipad recording hahahaha


does anyone know the tuning for this song for baritone?


this is going to make me cry isn’t it, dodie
