I'm desperately wishing this song would make a comeback


I still come here all the time. Petition for Dodie to make it an actual song??

@rex No it's not. Read the end of the description.

I would love this too. I still come here all the time haha. It's tied first with a couple of others. It's honestly one of my favourite songs in general.

lul we r still commenting on this, yes please tho

OmegaSilver153 its at 1 million views now!!! (:

This is like one of my favourite songs by her, so definitely


WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS SONG ANYMORE??

ITS UNDERRATED BUT I LOVE IT SO MUCHNFWOEHBFOWI


"a woman with a teenage game attempts to play the grown up game " is one of my favourite lyrics ever


"I may not like my thighs, but at least my body keeps me alive". well damn. Preach.

@E Ro Lmao took me a sec to figure out what you were trying to say <br>i need to get back into top lmao im out of practice

@E Ro Lmao took me a sec to figure out what you were trying to say
i need to get back into top lmao im out of practice

I was really sick (hooked to a breathing machine) and I'm singing along. My friend is like uhhh ur thighs are the only good thing working 😂

My favourite part of the song. it's now kinda like a motto for me cuz recently I have been upsessed with losing weight.


This is one of those songs that's upbeat but you cry to it anyway

Listen, I know
This one's a contradiction because of how happy it sounds
But the lyrics are so down
It's okay though
Because it represents, wait, better yet it is
Who I feel I am right now

- Not Today


Nothing would make me happier than an entire album of every original Dodie song

@Emily well... how do we feel about build a problem / alosia coming out? 👀

Emily Ah yeah true. We’ll all keep dreaming even 3 years on 😂

Jessica F I knowww, I just wish there was like a proper album that I could listen to on Spotify not YouTube, even 3 years later 😂

I’m 3 years late to this comment but there is a playlist that Dodie made on her original channel (doddleoddle) full of all her original songs. There’s 96 songs in it including this one. I’m listening to them right now 😂

i would love social dance to be on a new album

Well that might not come but some original songs are going on the Human album


THIS WAS NEARLY FOUR YEARS AGO AND NOW SHE’S DOING ALOSIA BUT IN APRIL <br>WAA SHE HAS GROWN SO MUCH!!! ❤❤❤

Anya Bethan this is my favorite unreleased dodie song like what why didn’t she release it


"I may not like my thighs<br>but at least my body keeps me alive" damn those lyrics! great job dodie, love it as usual :)

A reply is worth more than a like on YouTube, so comments with more replies get pushed to the top and more people see them. It would be nice if more people read the positive comments instead of the negative ones, which tend to be pushed to the top because people generally only reply to comments that they don't agree with. Let's spread the love!

@Sophie Spang ohh that's so nice!! i like that idea

+Joe Kidd started by Hank green of the vlog brothers YouTube channel, the plus system is to create a more positive YouTube comment space. Essentially, you ignore comments you disagree with, and when you agree with a comment, you add a plus. Thus, comments that would get lots of angry replies are at the bottom, since they now have none, and the comments that a lot of people agree with are at the top, since they got the most attention (aka a lot of pluses)

+Grace Morfeld what does this + thing mean

Ксения Тришанкова

i wanna hear more about this lyric for a later version, i think you could actually write a whole song about this sort of thing.


The first time I listened to this I heard "watch me beg for some peas" rather than 'peace' and I was really confused why dodie wanted peas so much


Imagine how amazing this would be if it was like PROPERLY produced. Woah.

This is one of my favorite songs that Dodie has ever written-- which is saying something!<br>"A woman with a teenage brain attempts to play the grown up game" is one of those sharply accurate lines in a song that latches onto your brain and won't let go until it has muttered itself in your ear at least 1,000 times.

i still think about "I may not like my thighs, but at least my body keeps me alive" three years later


"which breakdown shall i deal with first?" GIRL THIS IS ME


I thought this song was beautiful at its current state, but I am also unbelievably excited to see where it could go


The alosia songs are so incredibly lovely. I wonder why they aren't on the main channel.

StarfireToadandAang It means a-lot-of-songs-in-august


dodie this is amazing! I suffer from depression and it seems when I watch your videos, I smile for the first time in forever. This made me cry. Thank you dodie for making me smile all the time! Keep on making videos!


"I may not like my thighs, but at least my body keeps me alive" such great lyrics!! ❤


This is honestly one of my favorites. It's just so pretty

But maybe at the end, when you say, "I won't be done" put an elongated "no". <br>Idk

DODIE PLEASE MAKE A UKE TUTORIAL FOR THIS PLEASE UGH PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
LITERALLY EVERYONE LIKE THIS SO MAYBE SHE SEES IT
I NEED A TUTORIAL SO BADLY I LOVE THIS SO MUCH


this song is still my favorite please give her the recognition she deserves


OH MY GOD I'M ONLY JUST REALISING THAT YOU WHISPERED THE NUMBERS

i love it


DODIE PUT THE LYRICS TO THIS SONG IN THE END OF HER BOOK I SWEAR ILL CRY IF ITS IN HER NEXT ALBUM


This is "bliddy" beautiful, Dodie. Your voice makes me tear up every time I hear idk if i'm the only one lol


wow i forgot how good this one is. imagine a current album version of this and how good it would be with her current sound omg


I just finished your book. I'm in tears. You are so amazing, you have no idea what this book meant to me. I could relate to everything and... oh God, the feels the feels. Keep going... you're one of a kind! x


So I'm still chilling here in November 2020. SPOTIFY PLEASE 😭🖤


Just finished reading Dodie's book (for the fourth time 😊). I love it! It's so easy to read, it's packed full of life advice and stories, but most of all, it's brimming with the beauty of a life that's being lived. I cannot articulate the effect Dodie has had on my life - but this beautiful, beautiful book seems to cumulate everything she's done for me. Wow, I love her so much. Thank you Dodie, for helping me learn so much about myself (and stopping me do some stupid things!). Bless you. All of the love and the best for the future you amazing human. ❤


I love this! I initially thought it was a cover and I'm sad it's still not been properly recorded and released. Please consider this for your next EP/album


This song has been randomly getting stuck in my head since it came out! Ahhhh I love it so much !!!!


I still think about this song all the time! Definitely put a very particular part of my life into words


I know it’s not the meaning, but in my head some of these lyrics remind me of the thought I don’t like school now, but I will miss it when it’s gone and stuff, cause I miss primary school but I’m still in secondary! I’m gonna listen to this after I leave, (which is in a while, but sooner than I think I guess!) and see how I feel


Are you the guy whose beard is in Orla's 'I go Crazy' video?

I always came back to this song and let me tell you "THIS, i think, IS ALBUM WORTHY!"

look at the description, she clearly says the other one is "where the good stuff is"

StevenBridges both her channels are equal this just her other channel

all her music is main channel worthy though, don't you think?


i want this to have a comeback as the finale of her next ep so bad omg


Please put this in your next release. It's one of my favourite songs ever :)


" I may not like my thighs but at least my body keeps me alive'' ❤ love that lyric


First saw this when it just came out and I was 16 that time and I didn't get it but coming back to it now at 19 in college and I relate so much


please please please make this an actual song I can't get it out of my head aaaa


Dodie, you capture such emotion in each and every song you create and I feel so blessed that you share them with us :') Keep fighting those demons, they will not win! We will get through the crappy times... it's going to be okay <3


this song could sound super cool with some brushes and kick drum!!! i really like it so far

Emma Schultz On tour, there was keyboard and drums added. It was SOOO GOOOD!!!

plinky <3 never have there ever been a more perfect word to describe a xylophone

+Not Much Fun I think xylophone or marimba would fit better than piano

All the backup vocals should be a tad louder maybe?????????

+doddleoddle I think for the last chorus where you sing the do you think in the background should be louder and the song is perfect lyrically for some odd reason a trumpet could make it sound kinda cool I think???? I'm not sure whatever you feel is best for your song but definitely with a bit of drums


I sing along with this when I'm having anxiety/panic attacks and it calms me down so fast


"i may not like my thighs but at least my body keeps me alive" is the energy i aspire to have


If this isn't where the good stuff is, I dread to think  how MIND BLOWING THE GOOD STUFF IS


the melody , the lyrics , the chords , are all like puzzle pieces for my brain


I love this song so much! It's been stuck in my head all day!


The harmonies are so solid <b>-</b> You're always so amazing Dodie, ily <3

The harmonies are so solid *-* You're always so amazing Dodie, ily <3


I really hope this song comes out again in an upcoming ep... I still come back and listen to it all the time, I love it <3


Such a beautiful voice! Loving all you do! :D Sending you some positive vibes!


I can't unhear "watch me beg for some peas"


"I might not like my thighs, but at least my body keeps me alive " Gosh the lyrics in this one are KILLER. Love ya Dodes


this is still one of my favourite dodie songs, I look it up and watch at least once a month


Dodie, i love you. this is so empowering. you're still here and amazing and working so hard and being wonderful, despite all you've gone through and all the time you've spent being so busy. i love you so much.


Dodie this is one of my favourite songs from you, i love the lyrics (like i usually do) but the music in this one is SO good too! I love it love it love it, thank you for your art


"A woman with a teenage brain attempts to play the growm up game" LOVED THAT!

when you like a comment or think it could lead to a good discussion, you comment with a plus. this brings the good, thoughtful and interesting comments to the top as opposed to all the troll comments being shown first.

@clary tr WHAT ARE ALL THESE PLUSES FOR!?!?!?!?

yeah that's some instagram bio type shit 😂😂

Yeah whatever you do, don't get rid of that lyric

A read this AS SOON as she said that lol


this song got me through my first flight. I listened the whole way, smiling and singing to myself when the worst parts came. thank you dodie. 💖


love this song doddie, I especially enjoyed the fugue you had going at the end there. I don't know how comfortable you are with belting but I feel this song really lends to that.


doddleeeeee this is just so great!!!!😭 please keep on singing forever and ever cuz omg your voice is heaven to my ears 💖


dodie you are amazing and this song is wonderful, thank you so much for this <3


I really liked how upbeat and fun this song was, and I really liked the melody and chord progression.
However I think that the "silent" parts (idk what those are called) before the chords themselves are better fit in the middle 8. In the verses it sounds great but in the chorus it just gets a bit repetetive and comfusing, particularly the first time I listened to the song. Also, I think that you could shorten the lyrics a bit when they're too fast (ex. AND i will break again)so it's both easier for you to sing and for us to listen. Another thing is that before the chorus and before the second verse the instrumental kinda felt a bit too long but I didn't mind.

Sorry that I wrote so much, but I'm just telling you my opinion. I'm obviously not a professional and I'm not gonna tell you how to do your job. However I think if you work on it a little more and dress it up a bit it will sound even better! :D

@TheNerdontheStreet ikr we're so nice we don't attack each other or Dodie

i love how our little community is so sweet and welcoming :) it makes me happy

LPS NutellaKitty I like that you weren't hating on her, just giving your opinion in a respectful way as constructive criticism. And I think they're called muffles. Idk.

ohh i think the silent part thingies are called muting and chucking!!

actually I really liked the fast lyrics. That stuff is my jam. it's like rapping while singing and its wonderful to my ear areas.

What wonderful constructive criticism! It's really nice seeing a positive comment helping rather than bringing down an artist. Well done :)

It's a way of gaming the comment system started by Hank Green so that reasonable discourse gets pushed to the top rather than controversial arguments because the comments systems weights replies over anything else.

why are people saying + what does that mean

@doddlevloggle Glad I helped a little bit! I'm very happy you replied because I really admire you as a musician and person :)

+LPS NutellaKitty AHHH you're right about the fast lyrics, I'll try and slow them down :D


I still would really love for this song to be finished haha. love you dodie!


thank you for sharing this dodie :’) even to this day it helps me feel less alone x


love the lyrics
love the strumming pattern
love the melody
love the chords
love the person singing it

I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS SONG


This is just too great......I cannot stop watching this ❤❤❤❤❤👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻


this is gonna be a great month of music, SO EXCITED!

+Orlaisawkward {Dan and Phil Trash} I SEE A PHAN

+Sarah Harris aH I SAW THEM JULY 26TH AND I MISS THEM


Loved this a lot. I'm ver envious of your songwriting abilities! :)


It's so nice to see you in such up beat spirits. You're a national treasure.


This was a really lovely song Dodie, good job! <3


Dodie this was AMAZING!!! absolutely loved it <3


this song says so much and it's beautiful!! keep singing and keep fighting dodie ❤


My chior and I are getting songs to sing on a special day, if this wasn’t a demo I would’ve asked my chior teacher if we could sing it but I feel it wouldn’t be right since your not done (hah get it) anyway yeah I absolutely love this song and it’s perfect as I see it 😁


god I love this girl's music!! I'm a rap guy alternative guy an found her by looking at a comment on the video, unofficial video of Sail . I'm so happy I found this. the piano an 🎻 an other instruments I love so much.

Dude! I am a full-on metalhead and LOVE her music;


You're actually an angel oh my god. I love you, you're an amazing artist and you're so inspiring.


omg this was amazing dodie, the lyrics were great and I just can't wait for the rest of the months songs!!! :D

hi Jenna I watch ur videos , and this song is by far the most beautiful song ever the chords the rhythm everything just omg


Your voice is perfect for relaxation and stretching ! 💕


Love it! Easily my favourite song you've ever done, I don't think it needs anything else :) Do what you want though, I'm sure it will be great!


this is beautiful, truly. thank you for doing the things you do <3


It's kinda crazy the way you get to describe how I've been feeling with every song you make. I love you sooo much!


A song from Dodie on my birthday? I couldn't ask for anything better!

this reply thread is so Pure luv luv luv

My present to you is an anagram:

Hippy Bathyard


I love the song! I love how versatile it is with the harmonies and the way the song flows 😊 it's just fun and bubbly and I love it ❤ Great job!


Dodie i absolutely adore this song!!! You should really be proud of yourself <3333


Dodie! I think this is my most favourite thing ever in the world! I love everything you do but this song is absolutely fabulous! Thank you for allowing me to listen to its greatness❤


Ugh this is so good it hurts me. I love it. Replay for days!! Lots of love❤❤


I've listened to this about a thousand times. I want the chords to play along as well ☺


OMG I ACTUALLY REALLY LOVE THIS. THANK YOU FOR CREATING THIS BANGER! <br>I LOVE YOU DODE

OMG I ACTUALLY REALLY LOVE THIS. THANK YOU FOR CREATING THIS BANGER!
I LOVE YOU DODE


This amazing song was posted on my birthday!!!!! I would have watched it then but I was on camp Keep doing what you're doing Dodie xx


man 2:10 is my favorite part i love the dynamic change and the simple descending pattern and the way that you say the words MAN it's just so good


How cool it must be, to be able, to write such a great song in just one Day! You are the greatest Inspiration!!💚💚


really great song, amazing lyrics and amazing voice. absolutely adore this song


Honestly I love this song so much, I really think you have something here!


I'm obsessed with this!!!! Make an album because I will buy that in a heartbeat! ❤❤


I absolutely love it as it is, but if you have some more ideas for it I would love to hear those too. God, you’re just so talented!


This really suited your voice and made it sound extra beautiful c:


I love this sooo much Dodie. You have done a spectacular job once again.


Why is this not a produced song yet?! It's so good! I love it!


Dodie!!! You've got this song stuck in my head. I must have looked like a lunatic walking around at work just silently singing this to myself.


Will you ever put your music on Spotify? You're so lovely. ❤


this is such a good song. thank you for creating this masterpiece


hi hello I've been having panic attacks recently and the chorus of this had me on the verge of tears bc it's literally how I've been feeling about this nervousness that seems to follow me around a lot and anyway this is so lovely wow thanks


i love this so much! my suggestion might sound a bit weird at first, but there are places where you could put some light drumming in the background and a little bit of electric guitar to make it even more energetic!


Your such an inspiration, this is amazing !


This is soooo good!! Your voice is beautiful <3


i remember the uke but not the words to the song, so i went on a mini scavenger hunt/ dodie marathon trying to find this😀


I love this song so much Dodie. I've lost count of the number of times I've listened to it since you posted it.


you are so amazing.... I can't express how much I love your songs and your voice and just everything.


this is AWESOME. such a nicely constructed song, such great lyrics, you go girl!!


have had a super rough day but i'm really glad this popped up in my recommendeds bc I needed to hear it again ♡♡


The lyrics in this are greattt Dodie, as always. Now I have another song from alosia to keep on repeat. Love it. I hope this project is helping you!


please make a tutorial for this ahhh! I love it


hey dodie! im doing alosia as well, thank you for being so inspiring!!


I have been so excited for this since seeing Dodie tweet, and it's so good! ☺💕


"I may not like my thighs but at least my body keeps me alive"

I love this so much !!! Such a cool lyric !


I have had this on REPEAT!! this is my jam, I can't wait until you make it into a main channel song (please say you still will!)


I'm putting this song into daily rotation. I needed this! Soul good!


I have watched this at least 20 times today I love it soooo muchhhh


I always forget about this song and yet the link the title who knows keeps brining me back. I listen to the beginning and am like "oh ya like this song" then you hit the chorus at around 55 seconds and I'm like "oh ya i LOVE this song"!


you are amazing dodie, I can relate to you so much. everything from the mental breakdown to the bisexuality to all those different feelings described in your songs. (even if I have a different interpretation of them) I just want to wish you the best in the world, just remember to always keep fighting


I really like this!

I think some kind of percussion would add a lot to the song and would do wonders for the half-time parts!


Ya'll think this will be part of the album's ALOSIA b-side?


Somehow YT recommended this song to me and I got to stumble across it again. Thank you so much, Dodie, for your music. I love this more than I can express in words


I love this song so much, you might think it's unpolished but I still sing it all the time, especially with how stressed and anxious I've been recently it's just so catchy and nice ahh<333


I loved this so much omfg I think this is my new favorite Dodie song :D


I would love the chords for this Dodie if that is possible!!! <3


This is definitely one of my favorite songs by you


Your voice is the best for asmr and your "take a moment" video remains one of my favorites. This made me think, how about a similar video with positive affirmations to yourself? One you could re-watch to reassure yourself when you're feeling down.pretty sure it could be enjoyable for us and yourself <3


The beginning of the song kind of sounds like Paint...but I like it. <3


Whenever I feel a panic attack coming, this is one of the songs i listen to that helps me calm down. I don't know what it is about it, but I really needed it this morning


She is darn great with that uke! 👍<br>Love you dodie

She is darn great with that uke! 👍
Love you dodie


possibly my favourite song of yours, truly wonderful!


"I may not like my thighs, but at least my body keeps me alive" . This has made me feel so much better about myself. Thank you dodie. For everything. From "mumblings of an ill 16 year old" to this. ❤


I really like this! <br>I think some kind of percussion would add a lot to the song and would do wonders for the half-time parts!

I really like this!

And. Demo? That was freaking amazing! I can't wait for the actual finished product! Oh dear.


just put it on your main channel ahhhh its so good. plus, the music and rhythm depends on what the artist wants. I think the change of strumming and chord progression adds a unique part to the song. Also, an important part is always seeing if you can get someone to tap their foot to the beat near the beginning and throughout the piece. All I have to say is well done :)


Loving alosia, loving Dodie....just so much love for this girl and everything she does<3


This is my favourite song you've done, honest to god you gotta make it available for Spotify please please please


this was posted a long time ago but I love the lighting in this video. it's so natural and perfect wOw and also this song is fantastic


this is so great!!<br>and it's actually really true - i always hate when i'm busy but when it's over i wish i had something to do

this is so great!!
and it's actually really true - i always hate when i'm busy but when it's over i wish i had something to do

also this is just really thought-provoking and inspiring and i'm not sure why but i feel like i want to analyse it. like not in relation to your life but just the ideas... and it's all wrapped up in a catchy little tune. love it


This a really good one Dodie you're so talented to come up with these so quickly :)


I think it's really fantastic, 10/10. I think you could definitely do this on your main channel.


At first I thought Alosia was an artist and I was like.."wow this song is just like Dodie wrote it!" .heh thank u for your music Dods^^


I had this song on repeat for almost 3 hours doing my homework, Dodie your music is just so soothing and relaxing. AHHAHHAH i fricken love you!!!!


omg the chords in the chorus are a dream <3


Don't feel bad! You are so sweet and pretty and you sing so well! Love ya!Positive vibes


Goodness the lyrics in this are incredible <3


Dodie you have no idea how much you and your sweet voice mean to me. I love you so much sweet heart ☁


your voice is so lovely and so is this song and so is your dress <3


this is great! so great! i actually love this one omg yES DODIE


this is actually one my favorites dodie. this is basically my life thx so much 😙😙


I love the chords for the chorus  and the harmonies are beautiful


You have to do a tutorial for this one !!! IM IN LOVE WITH THIS


happy to finally hear the higher uke again, I feel like 90% of your recent singing vids have had your bass ukulele in it.


You should publish your songs to Spotify, or soundcloud. I would really like to be able to download your songs because they are great!


I feel so shit right now but your videos make me feel better, Thankyou 😘

+dun mess with my beans you guys are sick as frick

+phandom! at the clique THANK YOU YOURS IS SICK TOO x

+Dun Make Any Sudden Moves YOUR NAME IS AMAZIG


This song is like the more confident older sister to “Would You Be So Kind”


damn, I'm here so many years later (four to be exact) and this is sooooo SO different from the kind of music she writes now, but I'm kind of into this vibe!


aaa this is adorable, thank you for existing dodie <3


I love this so much, this song hits very close to home recently! Thank you for this <3


Please start putting your stuff up on Spotify ❤❤


Dodieeeeee I love this sooo much, I've listened to it probably too much. I watched your snapchat yesterday and I just have to say I love your voice. Comparing yourself to what you think you should be just stops you from seeing how talented you already are! We support you for whatever you do though. Hope you're doing okay and have a lovely day <3


Ahhh Dodie I'm obsessed with this, it's so fun :') Also in terms of what you could do it I think maybe if in the second chorus you built it up with another instrument or two maybe a cajon drum and a piano or something similar and maybe added harmonies? so that when it's goes into the bridge it's had this slight build up and then it dies down? But generally I think it's already perfect to be honest :D

Also i hate to be one of those people, but i covered it on my channel and i'd love it if you gave it a look :) <3


dodie! I know this is a very late comment, but I really really really LOVE this song that you wrote! It really speaks to me ; v ;<br>I hope that you might revisit this song in the future sometime, it'd be really be cool to hear a finalized version on your main channel/// <3

I love this song.  I keep coming back and listening to it!


I love this song so much!!! You should do a little ep or even album of all these songs because I love all of them so far!! Maybe make a playlist on soundcloud or something of "the best of Dodie" or even iTunes if you want to take it that far. These songs are inspiring me so much thank you thank you thank you


this really helped with my dying vagina thank you dodie

This was so upbeat and different to you're usual songs and it was great
Main channel worthy
It sounds so cool well done!!


this has such a the 1975-ish sound, especially the chorus! such a jam. i actually got so inspired i wrote a lil song myself....


Pls make a new version of this I absolutely love it!!


I frighten love this so much!!! I don't know how you've done it but you've managed to make me feel like even though the world can be such a horrible place, the people inside of it and love just always make it better. Anxiety started becoming a problem for me a year back and since I started watching your videos and listening to what you had to say about your brain and how things can get really rough but bounce back, I've been feeling much better and more optimistic about things. TRULY THANK YOU!!!!!!


Wow what a beautifully unique song!!

I really love how almost whimsically upbeat this is in contrast to the lyrics, it's very self reflective and I absolutely love that because it perfectly sums up how I feel today!
Thank you Dodie for producing music that just perfectly expresses how I feel or something I need to hear in the lyrics, I'm a relatively new subscriber but I really appreciate your music.

Thank you : )


as soon as this came out i taught myself the ukulele bit and I'm thinking about doing a cover of it <3 it's a beautiful song and you're a beautiful lyricist Dodie! You're one of my biggest inspirations


this reminds me of early days dodie and i love it a lot<3


this is amazing!! (i feel like i can hear a twinkly piano riff in there somewhere? maybe even a violin/recorder one??)


WHEN ARE YOU GONNA MAKE/RELEASE AN ALBUM?!? YOUR SONGS MAKE ME SO HAPPY I WOULD BUY THE HELL OUT OF A CD OF THEM


The main thing I'm loving about alosia is the fact that you are voicing everything that I've been feeling for a long time. And for that alone, I am truly grateful! Thank you Dodie!


Revisiting this song after getting to the end of her book.....I forgot how much I loved this song ❤


Such a good song! :) Also: you look really pretty in this video. Even more pretty than normally.


I've been really sad recently for (some reasons which are probably petty) but I always come back to this video vecause it makes me feel better thank you dodie you are honestly such a lovely human


This is my favourite song! It speaks to me a lot. This is like... The song i didn't know i needed


All your songs are freaking amazing!!!!! I just discoverd you


"Which breakdown shall I deal with first," me rn ( but literally oml so much stress ughhhhhh )

I actually had a mental breakdown the same week as dodie though so we can both be breakdown buddies together 👋🏼


It sound's similar to 'Would You Be So Kind' so if you play them live, you should mash them together!! Xx


This is one year old today awe, Dodie you've come so far omH💛


HOW CAN YOU MAKE SO MANY AMAZING SONGS GIRL.


It’s been a year and I still heckin LOVE this song


I think we might need an Alosia album of all the songs she makes this month.


aah I love this so much :)<br>My only suggestion would be that there's this technique called panning (I think?) where you have the instruments or singing in each ear, so for example you could have the chorus in the left ear, and the bridge in the right ear. (that way you can have them both at the same volume,  because the bridge part was a bit quieter and harder to hear than the chorus, unless that was intentional.) (i'm also not very good at explaining things :D )

aah I love this so much :)

Wow I think this is yiur best song so far! I really like all the cool strumming stuff you did. And when you sang over it in the background. Bravo!


wow, I love this song so much, can you give us the chords to this on the Uke (unless the demo is supposed to be kinda secret which I get😊)


This needs to be your main channel! It's so fabulous!!! 😃👍<br>~ Opal

This needs to be your main channel! It's so fabulous!!! 😃👍
~ Opal


Do it do it! Do another version demo of this song!! maybe add more instruments besides ukulele and surprise us!!
 it's really good! especially the chorus!!! so connected to the chorus <333333

love love love!!!


please please pleeaassee do a tutorial for this!! It's SO DANG GOOD


Finished reading your book while listening to this song. Thank you so much for creating such a special, wonderful and really personal book. I just LOVE it xx


omg I love this song, I can't stop listening to it


Dodie! Do you have any music on iTunes or Spotify??

+mycurrentobsession It's best to google a question a YouTube or any relatively well known person first because they get them all the time

>Google it
>Look on iTunes
>Look on spotify

It's quite simple really.


I just finished your book and i played this song i was in tears. Thank you Dodie .


But this was freaking amazing as always😌


You have inspired me to learn ukulele. i love your voice, i love your sound. Can you maybe put tabs in. its hard rewatching it note for note.


This song, and one for the road, are two of my absolute Dodie favorites. (Also my phone autocorrects dodie to DODIE, so obviously I'm always very excited about dodie omg)


I love everything about this song. I swear I listen to it everyday and I never stop relating to it.


I am in tears. I needed to hear this. I know it, like all your songs, is so personal to you. but as a married single mom(my husband is a trucker and literally never home) of 2 tiny boys there are days I beg for a reprieve, and others I am so sad they are growing so fast. You are a jewel and everything you release seems to come at moments I so desperately need them. and for that, I love you whole heartedly


you're so incredibly talented and beautiful dodie :)


this still needs to be recorded pls and thanks


still waiting for the day she uploads a completed version :)))


Love this song dodie is there any chance you could give us the chords?😊 ly❤


please finish this song and upload it to your main channel. I absolutely love this! It makes me remember that even some of my greatest inspirations have gone through similar things to me


i'd love for her to release an album or put things on itunes/bandcamp/etc. i'd love to be able to listen to dodie's songs all the time <333 much love


please dodie release an album soon so i can ask my parents to get it for me for christmas and get the best christmas present ever. <3


i love this omg aaah the chords and rhythm agh i loVE IT


Are covers allowed in alosia? I know Dodie said she'd be writing the songs but surely learning/adapting a song counts?


I love the chords and strumming you use :D


Still can't believe this is just a demo, it sounds so styled and sweet I love it! Also for some reason I first thought this song was about life and dying. I thought she was saying "watch me back" like watch her videos back when she dies wow why is my brain like this. For some reason I really liked that idea though. I guess art is always open for interpretation. Main channel main channel!


I want to learn how to strum the ukulele like Dodie. For some reason she makes it look so cute!

Don’t mind me. I’m just afraid of everything.


Thank you for writing this and uploading!!


I'm in love with this 😍🙋🏻 you need to cover autumn leaves by Ed Sheeran ah that would be amazing!


DODIE!! I love the way you play ukulele. I have a soprano but I want another one so bad! What do you recommend? I want a tenor or baritone.


I really love this song, it's a wonderful idea and I relate to it. If put into words something that I know plenty of people feel but I'd always felt alone feeling. I think just touch it up a bit for how you want to tweak it ! You've got a theme for it, stick to it. You've got this! best of luck! all the love xx❤


Also, could you please please post what you would consider a finished version of this (I think it's already beautiful the way it is) ? Or maybe a make a video on how to play it? I enjoy this song immensely and just need more of it tbh haha.


I feel like your voice would really suit before you start your day by twenty one pilots, you should totally cover it!


Dodieeeee what are the chords??? I love this song!!! 💙💙💙


Forever find myself coming back to this song when I'm sad 😌


hoping she’d also put this and the rest of her discography in spotify 🥺


Idk if you like these alosia songs yourself but omg they're so so good :3 I really really liked 'This Is For Me' as well, it was really good for where I am atm :)


This song has been stuck in my head for the past two days and I loVE IT


I used to just enjoy your music. After getting a ukulele all i can do it stare at yours. HOW ARE YOU SO GOOD


This sounds like a song that would be in a musical and then sang at the end for dramatic effect. I love it.


please do something more with this song i absolutely adore it so much holy crap its amazing


I've heard nearly ALL your songs, including the REALLY hard-hitting ones like "She" and "Sick of losing soulmates" but this one hits me the hardest, because I don't know I just feel broken a lot of the time and I don't know why and I just keep trudging on because thats what I'm supposed to do. And this songs just understands me...so thank Dodie. You're perfect.


Dodie, this is really touching.. thank you :)


Honestly, I think you could make me enjoy the songs I don't like just by singing them ^^ I just LOVE your voice awww :3


Carrie and Dodie should totally do a version of this together :)


This used to be my venting song, and I've now been confirmed as no longer clinically depressed. Listening to this now feels so good, as I'm no longer in that place anymore.

i'm so proud of you!! this song personally really helps me to turn my anxiety into drive and motivation, i love it so much


i just finished reading her book and this is the last song on it. A perfect way to end the book. Thanks dodie


Love you so much Dodie. Thank you for everything. xxx


I haven’t listened to this for like a year, I was thinking about it again like “ what was that dodie song I loved but never got released?” So I ended up here and I remembered all the words


omg please do a ukulele tutorial for this i want this to be the first song i learn


Every time I see one of your uku videos it makes me want to grab mine and start playing


I love this so much my favourite song rn 😍😍


the most beautiful girl in the world, the only who can fix my broken heart with her voice


You have such a talent for translating the feelings and stories you have  in your head into happy, upbeat yet soulful songs. It's so much more meaningful to hear well thought out music from a small musician, than mainstream tech-y music that lacks substance. Thank you for bestowing us with this little part of yourself. I hope that these songs truly make you as happy and inspired as they make us viewers feel. xoxo


Every single word in this I relate so much to THANK YOU SO MUCH YOU TALENTED BEAUTIFUL BEING you've changed lives.


I really like this song it made me smile :)


Can you please make this an actual main channel song? I love it so much! 😊❤


You are an inspiration. I love all of you material.


This would be amazing if you got a load of viewers to send in recordings and videos of themselves singing along and add it into the last chorus like a massive crescendo. I really relate to it, and I bet a load of other people would too. The message 'I won't be done' is like a freaking battle cry <3


I love this, do the main channel video, one of my favourites that you've done!


Constantly coming back to this song. its so damn good!


"A women with a teenage game attempts to play the grown up game" this line describes me exactly how I feel right now.


such an underrated Dodie song! Wonder if we'll ever get a studio version of it someday.


10/10 makes me feel better when i listen to this <3


I think about this song so often.  I need it every now and then


you should do a cover of The Rain by Oh Wonder, it's one of my personal favorites. I LOVE YOU SM BTW YOUR VOICE IS SO BEAUTIFUL I LOVE THIS


this song looks like so much fun to play!! could we get the chord progression maybe?? :)


"I've broken before and I will break again, so give me some more I'll be here till the end"<br>is the best thing ive ever fucking heard I love this so much

"I've broken before and I will break again, so give me some more I'll be here till the end"
is the best thing ive ever fucking heard I love this so much


this is actually my new favourite song, dodie it's fucking brilliant


your eyes dodie :( i see right through them. i truly admire you and hope your mental health get better and better <3 i love you so darn much


The instrumental bits reminded me of paint!😊🎨 anyone else?💙 also this songggg👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻


I think that if you added a bflat as a pickup to the f after you play the eflat in the chorus it would flow smoother and the resolution on the f down beat would be stronger. I mean just strumming 4 and on bflat on the eflat bar

@Evan Elias exactly what I was thinking, thank you for saying this

but dodie asked for opinions and improvements if any body has any.. +-sweet nightmares -

Do you know what the chords are? I'm still learning the uke and I can't really see her fingers. Thanks!

Just enjoy it as it has come it's beautiful and no one should change anything for anyone if their heart is in it

+Alejandra Rodrígues seriously same. And I play ukulele. I'm not advanced XD at all

This sounds like a very complicated integration maths question

+doddlevloggle that's just something that I found I like while playing it but I do think that it's already an excellent song


"I may not like my thighs, but at least my body keeps me alive." <br>This is literally my thought process to get through life

"I may not like my thighs, but at least my body keeps me alive."
This is literally my thought process to get through life


I love the lyrics they're ingenious, and the ukulele is spot on. Are you planning on adding any other instruments? It sounds as though it's missing something. The ukulele is like the base instrument for the song, it just sounds like it needs something more. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I feel as though the ukulele needs like another instrument friend to harmonize with. But I absolutely love the song I wish I could buy it!!


Can't wait for this month! Hopefully meeting you at SITC Dodie! :)

good luck I really hope you meet everyone you want to :)

@Alexandra Ireland I can't see her on stage because I have to leave at 6pm (I live 5 hours away sigh) but hopefully at her merch stand!

+LikeReallyMeg aww that's really unfortunate :( hopefully you'll be able to meet dodie at her merch stand and see her on stage!

@Alexandra Ireland No I didn't get anybody sadly :(

I'm going on Saturday too! Yeah i got the sacconejolys which I'm happy about and also Lucy and Lydia but they were pretty far down my list lmao did you get any of your choices? :) @LikeReallyMeg

@Alexandra Ireland I'm going on the Saturday :) Did you get any of your ballot choices at all?

I didn't unfortunately but I'll hopefully see her around lol what day are you going

@Alexandra Ireland Hey did you manage to get Dodie?


this is sooo nice! it should have been on your main channel x will you upload a version of the  new song you performed atthe cereal cafe show?


THis is so goooooooooooodddddd and your hair is so long and always looks amazing!!! <3


please put some of ur songs in a album like this one or "down ". id buy them so fast ..love you dodie


Lyrics:
I think my head is fit to burst

which breakdown shall I deal with first

I have to close my eyes

to keep my thoughts inside

how many palpitations can you take on

10 confrontations and I’m still standing strong

I may not like my thighs

but at least my body keeps me alive

so let’s breathe one two three four

till the world gives you some more

do you think

it’ll ever stop

will I miss this

when it’s all gone

watch me beg

for some peace

and when it comes

I won’t be done

How did I get on this path

time and fate are trying to make me laugh

A woman with a teenage brain

attempts to play the grown up game

we can take it

we might break but

I’ve broken before and I will break again

so give me some more

I’ll be here till the end

yeah we will lose it

You know we’ll use it

I’ve broken before and I will break again

so give me some more

I’ll be here till the end

I think my head is fit to burst

which breakdown shall I deal with first

I have to close my eyes

to keep my thoughts inside

how many palpitations can you take on

10 confrontations and I’m still standing strong

I may not like my thighs

but at least my body keeps me alive

so let’s breathe one two three four

till the world gives you some more

do you think

it’ll ever stop

will I miss this

when it’s all gone

watch me beg

for some peace

and when it comes

I won’t be done

How did I get on this path

time and fate are trying to make me laugh

A woman with a teenage brain

attempts to play the grown up game

we can take it

we might break but

I’ve broken before and I will break again

so give me some more

I’ll be here till the end

yeah we will lose it

You know we’ll use it

I’ve broken before and I will break again

so give me some more

I’ll be here till the end


This song got me through the darkest moments of derealized life, I'm now fully alive and present again, after reading your book I revisited this song and noticed both 0:54 and 2:07 ;)


I've had this song stuck in my head for days

These lyrics are exactly the kick in the ass I needed to say "fuck it!" and go for what I want no matter how scared of failure I might be. Your songs are always amazing and there's always at least one line in each that really resonates with me and somehow magically helps me deal with whatever issues or personal blocks I might be having. I don't know how you always seem to get it spot on, but thank you!!


I am so excited to hopefully meet you at SITC! (:

aw no! I'm sure shell be out on the floor


i need chords for this !! i love it so much <3


Came back to this three times today. couldn't get it out of my head! Even though its a year later


+RubyRed28 It's a Harry Potter reference


I love the multiple lyrics going at the same time (is that like a "round"? probably exactly like a round) because it's like all the voices in my head going at the same time. You do that in a couple of your songs and I always love it.


this chorus is so ridiculously catchy and amazing im OBSESSED


Dodie I really love this one!! Getting serious Lily Allen vibes


i love this so much holy shit well done so far on alosia


Dodie is my reason to get out of bed in the morning. She is absolute perfection.


I would love to see another duet with Savannah Brown (also I love this song it is great)


you're a strong gal dodie, keep on pushin :') ly!!


This song was AMAZING!! but I do have a suggestion. Towards the end, you did a lil overlap with like background singing (i don't know the right word for it lol) but it kind of sounded like a jumble of words (with an amazing voice :3) so maybe instead of singing in the background while the main voice is singing, you should sing in the background between the lines of the main voice. <br>lol i hope that made sense oooops

lol i hope that made sense oooops


This is one of my faves. Please turn it into a proper song on the EP


Holy crap everything that comes out of your mouth is pure genius! Where can I download this?


I love this song sm I always come back to it, I'd love the idea of like a full backing music version too like some drums ooooo


Hey I need this on iTunes or Spotify please and thank you <3


does anyone know the chords and the strumming patterns are??


Oh, I just found myself singing this chorus over and over and over again... :)


I loved this Dodie!  do you think you could make a vid about your songwriting process?


I learn how to play ukulele and sing to this and now I can sing it everywhere and be reminded of the fabulous dodie!

Abigail Koons not quite but I can do the main rhythm and chords

im trying to learn it, do you know the strumming pattern?


Could you please cover Viola Beach 💛 and plug their album

Aren't they the guys that wrote Swings & Waterslides?


Dorothy this is a song that deserves a studio recorded version it sounds like the embodiment of a go lucky you, it has so much potential the lyrics and chords fit so well together on top of your voice it’s so perfect


It definitely wants a horn section.. and a funky bass.. and maybe some funky rhodes or something like that.. and more backup vocals.

I love it. Can't wait to hear what it becomes.


watch me beg
for some tea~
and when it comes
i wont be done ~
- sorry couldn't help my self


please revisit this with a new demo i think this song already is EP worthy you're such a great songwriter


I really liked this, your music always makes me so happy! Oh and btw, I was listening to this and my mom walked past and said that you're really cute.


omg the beginning sound a lil bit like coffee and toothpaste I screamed

@vannieiscool omfhfggfhf thank you so much i'm a mess

not sure if its you in the profile picture but whoever it is, they're frick lickin diddly crackin beautiful holy mess

i just revisited this song and realised i commented this 2 days ago oml

+LLAMAONFIR3 Lauren yeah it also does haha although there's not the repetition of the note in paint

it sounded like the start of paint to me

tbf it's literally just a similar strumming pattern I'm just libby trash


even though this is a demo this is amazing Doddie


Didn't realise I was moving along to this, the rhythm is fab, like 5 star


Dodie can you please please post chords for this? Or do a how to video?? id love to be able to play it!! Thank you so much!!! <3


Since you mute the strums so much in the song, I think it would sound good with a simple drum line or something.


I'm in loooove. I'm dying for a tutorial. Oh my god.


Hey I actually love this song so much and I watched it when you first uploaded. I took a break from the channel because I was expecting there to be a version of this song on your main platform and I'm back in December and I'm hurt:( please make my wish come truuuuuuue.. all I want for Christmas...issssssss... I won't be done twwwooooo!


What are the chords for this, I'd love to learn it ❤❤

Okay so as far as i can tell (i covered it on my channel and this is what i worked it out to be) the verse you play F then Dm for 2 up strums and then just the first finger on the first fret of the third string for one strum and repeat, for the "I may not like my thighs" it's Gm and then A7 for the 1,2,3,4 you bar the first fret and then play the second fret of the second string and then for the chorus it's F, the 3 fret barred, the chord for just played on with the barred first fret and then the third fret barred again and then the bridge is the same as the chorus just lighter and strummed differently, I hope that helped! I'm not the best at explaining :') x


I want to name my first born daughter Alosia


uGH you're so magnificent at what you do. i loved it


I just wanna keep swaying to this song until I die this is great


PLEASE do this on tour and if possible do a tutorial for it?!


ahhhg your voice is gorgeous and this song is beautiful and i just love you so much ugh why am i like this.


Where is your guitar/ukulele from? Like what brand

+Sian Lorraine her baritone uke is much larger than this one xx

The brand is Java, it's a concert ukulele and I think it's called tanglewood


It makes me sad how talented you are because I know I'll never be as good at anything than you are at singing


You're the queen of overlapping verses and humming seamlessly and beautifully


DODIE THIS SONG IS SO FREAKIN GOOD HOLY CRAP


To guitar or ukulele players- how the bloody hell don't you chip your nail polish/just fingernails???

They survive better on the ukulele but the guitar is a polish killer. Your nails have to be short anyway to play at all.

The eternal dilemma of "do i wanna have nice nails for a few days or play an instrument"

I don't know but somehow my nailpolish always survives my ukulele... but i still can't wear too long nails because at some point the nail will mute a string when you are holding the chords :D

that's why i don't wear nailpolish anymore😂

I play guitar and my nails/nail polish is fine. I do use a  plectrum most of the time but iv never chipped my nails or nail polish while playing.

You can't really have long fingernails if you play ukulele and I assume it's the same for guitar, my fingernails always chip when playing 😂😂

No joke, I was about to comment that,cos for me 2 mins on the guitar equals chips which annoys me to death.


The beginning sounded a lot like the song you wrote a really long time ago "paint" and it really brought back memories <3


Probably half the views on this song are from me by that point. Love love love singing to it


I really really like the poetic-ness of the lines "A woman with a teenage brain/attempts to play the grow up game". That's some quality-quote right there


"A woman with a teenage brain<br>attempts to play the grown up game" oooooffff girrlll

"A woman with a teenage brain
attempts to play the grown up game" oooooffff girrlll


hey, what a great song! you have different lyrics in the description tho! you sing "so let's count one two three four" and you have "so let’s breathe one two three four" in the description :3


When you've finished all the songs you could put them all into an album called alosia


This should be on your main channel.. it's wonderful


THIS IS STILL MY FAVE DODIE, WHERES THIS SECOND VERSION? I BEG.. also as if this is a DEMO omg


"A woman with a teenage brain, attempts to play the grown up game."  I love this!


I wish I could steal this and pretend I wrote it. I am so jelaouse of your talent


why is this still just a demo. WHY CANT IT BE AN ACTUAL SONG


You keep breaking the fourth wall on these songs gosh darn it Dodie


Time to get this stuck in my head for a month again


It got fixed. 6 months later now I broke it :c


WHY ARE YOU ALWAYS SO BRILLIANT holy wow i love love love this song.

i was thinking you could try to find some more music in the bridge! piano would be hella cool to add if you feel able.


I REALLY like this. Like it might be my new favorite omg


Just so you know, you make me so happy. I was just having a day, an in-the-middle day. With the potential to be a good day or a bad day and I wasn't sure how I could make it into a good day and I thought and thought and thought and the more I thought, the more scared I became of it being a bad day, but then I watched your videos and listened to your songs, the sad songs and the happy songs and they just made me feel better and I stopped obsessing over what kind of day it was going to be, and now that I have, I can feel that it's a good day because I somehow feel so relieved. You make my days good days :)


This is amazing I love u so much aahh 💕💕💕💕💖💖💖 i can relate to it I love u Dodie❤❤❤❤❤


Why haven't I listened to this before my gOD


you're crushin' it. you got this month in the bag!!!


can someone who understands music explain why i keep getting reminded of Would You Be So Kind when I listen to this - not that it's a bad thing - the two songs just sound good together to me in my head somehow


I love when you played your clarinet in Drive, that might be cool! :)


A few weeks ago I did a singing workshop and the teacher (?) kept telling us to sing "out and forwards" and at some points, especially the softer parts I thought you could do that a bit more. It doesn't mean you should sing louder (I really liked how it got softer!) just with a bit more conviction, I guess. I really really love the rhythm and sound and vibe of this ah


want to get 'at least my body keeps me alive' tattooed bc i LOVE THAT LINE


this is beautiful! what about a little tinkly instrumental or backing instrument with a xylophone/glockenspiel?:)


I still can't get over how beautiful your voice is <b>dies</b>

I still can't get over how beautiful your voice is *dies*


Why don't you post these on your main channel, they're amazing


Oh my dodie I love you, I rewatch so many of your videos ahhh


"but at least my body keeps me alive" dodie shading dead people

took u two whole minutes to think of that quality rek


I can't stop listening this. I'm just listening it over and over and can't get it out of my head.


How do you mute the strings so well??? AHHH HOW ARE YOU SO GOOOOD


Who else is here from dodies ALOSIA stream?


This song was stuck in my head the other day, which tells you it's good..


0:53- 0:55 tell us what happened there lol


this is still one of my favorite dodie songs??? she prolly won't ever revisit it but it would so cool if she did


“I may not like my thighs but at least my body keeps me alive” might be the best thing I’ve ever heard ever thank you


dodie will you ever come to north yorkshire? (LeedsLeedsLeedsLeeds plz I don't even live in Leeds but it's the nearest big city near me hah)

oh and does anyone know the chords? thanks


anyone have the chords?? it's such a beautiful song.


I liked it!!!! I loved what you did with the layering at the end, it could be really fun to get louder and more complex (?) there, with more layering and rounds, kind of reflecting the nonstop thoughts in your head?? Idk it's your song and whatever you do I'm sure it'll be wonderful and you, that's just a suggestion. But yeah I love it!! Keep it up :)


I think she is so brave. She had gone through a lot and comes right back to singing. What an inspiration, love you Dodie


I'm guessing someone on here knows about ukuleles and can help me, so my question is, i'm getting a new uke on the weekend, and i'm between a normal wood one, or a clear plastic one, and i don't know if for my first uke i want to buy a clear one, BUT IT'S SO COOL, but i feel like the wood one is better quality (?) I DON'T KNOW somebody please help me decide D:

ps: HEY Dodie i loved this song! it's so happy sounding <3

THE CLEAR ONE YOURE TALKING ABOUT IS A WATERMAN AND THEYR WATERPROOF AND RAD but id go for a tenor or concert for a first time uke

@Alyssa Morgan<br>depends what size it is ^-^ dodie has a concert ukulele in this video. If its a smaller ukulele, then get soprano strings, if its slightly bigger then get concert strings :)

@Alyssa Morgan

+Alyssa Morgan get Aquila strings if you want a quality sound from it

I have a Makers Club at School (you literally just make stuff) and Dodie inspired me to make a ukulele. Should i gey soprano strings? What you y'all (i don't know where that came from) reccomend/and what do you think Dodie has? Thanks

@Tori McNeece<br>yeah they are! its the tuning of the bottom strings of the guitar. i think getting a baritone ukulele is cool! i have really small hands so i was really meh with the guitar.

@Tori McNeece
yeah they are! its the tuning of the bottom strings of the guitar. i think getting a baritone ukulele is cool! i have really small hands so i was really meh with the guitar.

+LittleLeena I've always been a but conflicted on bari. theyre huge and isn't the tuning different? idk I might eventually work up to tht but as of now tenor will be as far as I go. I don't really like the guitary sound as much.

Nice! I started off with a soprano and then got a tenor. I got a concert for myself on my  birthday cause i wanted something that could be plugged in lol. I just got a baritone and its so cool! i figured out sick of losing soulmates on it :D

+LittleLeena I have a concert and I'm actually probably getting soprano soon before I work my way up to tenor and bari

i think you already got a response, but she has a concert. People usually start off with a soprano, it being the smallest. A tenor is slightly bigger and the one dodie recently has is a Baritone and it sounds more "guitary" lol. I think having both a concert and baritone is fun so you should consider getting a baritone in the future ^-^

+Tori McNeece ohhh, i don't know then, this was the only concert type uke i saw in the shop

+Dani I knew it was concert, but normally brands have many different kinds of the same size uke. like I know Kala (for example) has a wide variety of concert ukes from beginner<br> to very high end

+Dani I knew it was concert, but normally brands have many different kinds of the same size uke. like I know Kala (for example) has a wide variety of concert ukes from beginner
 to very high end

+Tori McNeece the brand is freeman and with the model you mean if it's soprano or concert and that? cause if so, i got a concert size :)

+Dani what uke did you end up getting (like rand and model)?

@Dani yay good for you! I'm glad you found something you really like, have fun playing! I have a uke myself and I love to play so I hope you enjoy it just as much :D

@Lola Lovely thank you for your help ^-^ and btw, i just came home from the shop. I ended up buying a wooden concert size uke, cause i find the soprano one to be too small and like, i can't hold it properly xD and a friend who knows a lot about music went with me and helped me so i'm really happy with what i got (according to him, the one i got was cheaper than expected, and it was really good quality, so everything's a ok)

+Dani dodie has a concert uke but it's still in the standard gcea tuning ( I think), but these ones tend to be a lot more expensive than the soprano ukes. I don't know if you want to start to play bc then a soprano uke in the same tuning would be better in my opinion just because it's a lot cheaper for someone to start with. However, if you want something that's amazing quality and has a great sound and stuff (and if the prize doesn't matter) a concert one can be a  better choice. I hope I helped you and I hope it's ok that I responded even though the question was not dedicated to me :D

@LittleLeena thank youuu, and, do you know what size is Dodie's uke?

Hello! Wooden things are always better when it comes to instruments :) if you want a quality ukulele, I recommend a Makala. It's a cheaper alternative to their brand "Kala" but it's still the same quality and stuff! Although, the ukulele I have is a Luna, and it's really nice and resonate! A concert is a good ukulele size. They go from Soprano, Concert, Tenor, to Baritone. Try to find a good wooden concert ukulele ^-^

thanks everyone for the help! i think i'm going for the wooden one (even tho the clear one is really cool). Maybe i'll get the other one in the future, who knows :)

Heyyyy haha, woo more ukulele players! So like yee I totally agree plastic ukuleles can look so cool and are easier to clean and such and it being clear would be cool but if you really want a good sound, get the wood. Ukuleles were originally wooden and a wooden one is gonna get you the best and clearest sound.

Congrats on getting a uke! I've had mine for years & love playing it.

I've played both kinds & in my experience, it's best to try out the types you want in person. Plastic and wood ukulele's sound a bit different, but everyone has their own opinion on which they like better.

For technicalities, Plastic is more durable & easier to clean. I've played the Makala Waterman (which they have in CLEAR) & i find it quite good :D Wood is the traditional ukulele looks & some say it sounds better.
Yes it's less durable, but it isn't fragile either. Dropped mine plenty, but still plays good with it's battle scars.

My biggest advice, if you're excited about your uke, you'll wanna play it even more :) You should like the one you buy

Good Luck dani!

I've played Ina non-clear plastic uke and the wood one feels better quality to me, but I honestly haven't played for a while


Please please please officially release this, I'm obsessed


Dodie where did you get your ukulele? I love it :D xxx


honestly this is already very good for a demo but i personally think harmonies instead of repeating the verse during the last repeation of the chorus would be better? since it won't be so complicated to listen to and stuff??????? i don't know anything about music but oh well

+doddlevloggle the overlapping in one for the road was probs my favourite part of that song (and I bliddy LOVE that song) and I thought it fit very well in this one too! It gives it a very unique vibe 😊

I agree with Jake, the overlapping fits the lyrics of the song yet it would fit better as the bridge. then mellow it down towards the end with some harmonies. maybe add a little piano as well, just to give some more depth to the music. All in all a great song and glad to see your better now!!

yee i agree mainly cause i have autism and when that came on i was like 'GAH WHAT IS GOING ON'
#autismspectrumprobs

+doddlevloggle I disagree, I love how unique that last chorus with the overlapping bridge is! What I would do though is flip them so that the chorus is overlapping the bridge for the first repetition of the chorus. Then for the second I'd pit harmonies with the chorus and take the bridge away so it just ends with the chorus..... dunno if that makes sense but :) x

I actually really loved the overlapping, so unique and cool! I'm sure harmonies would be cool too though! :)

+doddlevloggle whoa thank u (I didn't expect to be lol)

+doddlevloggle I thought the overlapping was pretty neat! but harmonies sound great too :)


Months later and this is still my late night anthem


Has anyone noticed this sounds reallll similar to Would you Be So Kind? I love them both so much but it literally only just clicked. Love you Dodie!!!!


I FRICKEN LOVE THIS DEAR LORD

i feel like this could build into something really big at the end, like start it off acoustic, bring in so jinglies in the middle and at the end break into like a a full band (or an acousticy sounding band if you get what i mean)


I liked when you did that "harmonic" voices in the back, on the end of the song... =D


"a woman with a teenage brain, attempts to play the grown up game"

never in my life have I felt more connected to a lyric


where did you get your ukulele from?? I love it so much!!


the music is super good and i love the lyrics ahHh


"A woman with a teenage brain attempts to play the grown up game" is SUCH A GOOD LINE


Plz do this on your main channel. IT'S SO GREAT.


UMMMM HOW DID I JUST FIND THIS?!?!

I LOVE!!!!!


WHY ARE U SO PRETTY AND SO TALENTED I LOVE U AND UR VOICE <3 gaah


I listen to this a dozen times every day. I want it. It's my favorite. And I love you. Okay bye.


Thats so brilliant , i think adding more layer towards the end and building it up could be cool


Please give us a how to play for this! <3


Absolutely fabulous, and love your hair longer ❤❤❤👌😃🙌


So good👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

So good👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻


I love this, what was your inspiration for this song?


OML I had a dream about Alosia last night and I haven't heard this song yet, but this was the tune. It was in a pj style animation with lots of yellow and flashing colors. You were singing about your new look? We were sitting in a salon and you were like humming and then sung the words "so many styles, hair long as miles. What should I do?" And Backround people sang about which of your hair styles they liked and then you were frustrated because the voices got louder and louder and then these buildings flashed and you took me on a run (still singing) and you told me to sing and right as I opened my mouth and took a deep breath I WOKE UPPPP


This is so beautiful. Everything you do is. How


i thank you so much, i just started ukulele, i was about to quit untill you gave me the power to movw on


this song omL!! its so fucking relatable n gud n creative like jnvlfvjd :) maybe when you come to making a video you want to put on your main channel when it comes to the bridge as well as building up the voices n harmonies you could build it up w some more instruments but if not then man its amazing >< x


fact: my lizard loves you. when you're on, she's fixed to you. Her mood just completely changes when you're singing or talking. It's lovely:)


I love it😊,also would you mind if I used this for my first animation? I would give you all credits and all that other stuff😃


This song is so perfect as is i cant even think of how to make it better


I relate these lyrics to my depression and anxiety lol


This is my Favorite song that you've done


sounds very early Meghan Trainor vibe which I LOVE!!! I think you could potentially build up the end when you have "We can make it" and the chorus overlapping by adding harmonies. A drum beat of some kind (maybe just on a cajon as it wold add an extra layer but still make it seem stripped down and natural if that makes sense). I am not much of an expert on layering different instruments but just adding those things plus xylophone would make it even more wonderful :) <3


I still can't figure out the strumming pattern but it's still an amazing song


everytime this song comes on shuffle I always wanna sing "am I hiding or is this just me" hELP


THIS IS SO GOOD HOW IS THIS NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR UR MAIN CHANNEL


It would be really cool if you added some violin chords in the background of the chorus 😊


The ability to make something that sort of sucks into something positive and absolutely uplifting 👏🏻


I think it would be really really fantastic if you did a cover of Clouds by Borns. It's such a lovely song and you are such a lovely person. If you all agree can you give this a thumbs up so she sees it? :)


Can you make all of your covers downloadable on Apple Music if they aren’t already I really enjoy you’re music dodie, I have to thank Emma Blackery and Jackmate for introducing me to your music


I know this was like 2 yrs ago but HECKING PUT THIS ON YOUR MAIN ITS SO AMAZING AHHH


"I have to close my eyes to keep my thoughts inside." <3


I REALLY HOPE THIS SONG IS IN THE NEW EP


hey so I love the song a lot and i was wondering what the chords where?


This is my favorite song of yours already. Dammit


FRIG MY LIFE THIS IS SO BEAUTIFUL DODIE YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL


I think it would sound good with some smooth clarinet in an added instrumental bridge section under some cool improvised type vocals. But it sounds great already.


Way to improve:
Make more songs just like this.
I have no musical experience, like I haven't studied music at college or don't play an instrument, but I know good music when I hear it. I love this, because not only is it singer-songwriter, and really clean (ie no autotune etc), but also it sounds so unique; like you don't sound like EVERY other singer on YouTube/ the charts!


You make me want to get a ukulele so bad.


alosia is gonna make me want an ep from Dodie soooooooo much more


I know you said this is about being busy but I really relate to this in a mental illness sense. This is perfect.


ok but this is soooo good, I'm exited for this alosia


okay so this is my all time favourite song ever. not just of dodie’s, like out of every song this is my favourite.


I need to learn this song!😍 What are the chords?


Don't mind them, Dodie. There is so much good in this world.. YOU GOT THIS! I only see how bright and wonderful of a person you are, so never let anyone get to you because you know who you are. And you are so much more than just what people see. Remember that whenever people treat you badly, it is just a reflection of their own fears and insecurities. Be too large for worry, too noble for anger, too strong for fear, and too happy to permit the presence of trouble. I love you and everything that you are. <b>>virtual hug<</b> <3

"Do you think it'll ever stop?" -me about my obsession with this song


I really loved this but if you're asking me what I want added, a non drum percussion backing of like tamberines and shakers and stuff. in the silent part where you're just singing without and like some cello backing (it sounds like and extension of your voice so it will fill out the silence without taking the emphasis from your voice) and some light piano to go with wherever you place vocal harmonies. It's already brilliant, i just think those things would highlight the best qualities of the song. Peace love and happiness, your amazing Dodie


Dodie if you get the chance to read this I think it would be adorable if you covered she had the world by panic!💕


Dodie Dodie Dodie I looooove this song so much and I cannot tell you how much I can relate to it. For suggestions, I can tell you tried to layer other parts of the song together at the end and I think it would be so neat if you did that part a cappella with harmonies and then the very last line could be just once voice. It's sort of a 'marianas trench' inspired idea but I think it would work so well with this song. If you don't know who Marianas trench is you should listen to them! I get a lot of my song writing inspiration from them and you. I hope you get the chance to read this because I would love if you used this idea somehow. Love you Dodie:)


I think you could make the end section with the double vocal line huge. Maybe a one-drop and then some horns stabs/sustained chords :)


i still don't understand why this wasn't put on the main channel. it's been months and this lil jam is still one of my favorites ever


If anyone's wanting the chords, here's what I've come up with (some might be wrong though) C:

First 2 back and forth chords : F, Dm
The little part after that : Gm, C7
The 1,2,3,4 : Bb, then a B7 shifted down a fret (you bar the 3rd fret instead) (not 100% sure about this chord though)
The chorus : F, Bm that's shifted down a fret (barred fret = 3rd fret), Bb, and then you'd bar the 3rd fret while playing the 6th fret for the A string

Hope that helped :)


this sing has a very big part in my heart cause is came out when I was going though a VERY shitty time in my life but I didn't want to give up and I my friend at the time wanted to know how I was feeling and I couldn't get it out and this song just said everything I was trying to.now I put on the song every time I feel like crap.it also makes me happy that you put the song at the end of your book


Who else almost sung "am I hiding or is this just me?" at the start?!


I heard this song and I just immediately put it on loop because HOLY JESUS CHRIST YOU ARE THE GODDESS OF SONGS!! I LOVE THIS SONG SOOOO MUCH


I feel like some percussion (ooo with like bongos or those hang drums) would be cool and also some male/deeper harmonies at the chorus to give it more volume‼ it's a great song tho I like it a lot:)))


To be honest its hard to explain how much I feel like I can relate to this song. I am a woman with a teenage brain attempting to play the grown up game, with constant anxiety and i find myself having to count to four because of my almost daily dizzy spells, which end up making me feel like I'm not even a real person. Sometimes I feel as if it will never stop, and when it is gone, will I even feel like a real person, or will I still be begging for peace? My health keeps driving me crazy, and I no longer have interest in things I used to like doing. I feel as if I have no talent, but I also have no motivation to go out and find my talent. My dizzy spells have even been effecting my work, and I was almost fired because they thought I was lying about my symptoms. I have seen so many different doctors about my dizzy spells, and still no one knows what is wrong. Anyways, thank you Dodie, for putting how I feel into a song.


UGH DODIE. I JUST WANT AN ALBUM FROM YOU. LIKE I WANT TO BUY ALL YOUR MUSIC AND JUST BE HAPPY.


you should come back to this and put it on your main! Or even on your next ep? ily <3


jamjamjamjamjamajamjaaaamm. I absolutely love this song Dodie thank you so sincerely


still waiting for this to be a song I can download on apple music smh


I swear this is so twenty one pilot-esque cause of how happy the tune is but then you read the lyrics and you're like oH.<br>Love it

I swear this is so twenty one pilot-esque cause of how happy the tune is but then you read the lyrics and you're like oH.
Love it


...and LOVE the Cm chord on 'Do you think it will ever stop?'  ....


for a really shitty day, this was a really bit of sunshine :)


A woman with a teenage brain attemps to play the grown up game ! Yes Doddie :-) I do see myself in it


How big can you go with the extra voices doing choral accompaniment? This tune sounds like it could handle a bigger sound really well.


this is such an underrated dodie song omgg


Basically - I'm smitten by Dodie and whatever she uploads I'm like, "gimme gimme gimme." Loved it! Search other comments for tips. ;D


doddie I would love to see a little cover of closer by the chainsmokers on uke, i think it would sound amazing with your voice


I WANNA PLAY THIS SO BADLY DOES SHE HAVE A CHORDS CHART FOR IT ANYWHERE?


her voice is so delicate and soft i cANT


One of the best, I drive a lot of the times with my eyes closed, and run while lying and eat while diving, I am a sad fade fad faith that makes my life a terrible fate by loving all and hating myself for being me,.. Life stinks being original, w=wicked is a heart all on its own void of only one possion, a love to live anymore. I am tired of knowing and remembering things when I see people, I wish everyone would just never speak or talk or come near me again,.. then I realized :( the world would burn, and I do not want to live in a cave or alone in the vaast void of space.. How the world stinks/,.<>


"A woman with a teenage brain
attempts to play the grown up game" most 20 somethings haha :)
Love this, love you, love alosia xx


YouTube doesn't let me like this video. This hurts because god damnit it's just so good!


how is this the first time I'm seeing this? One of my new favorites


this song is great "A woman with a teenage brain attempts to play the grown up game" this is a great line  :) I'really should do something like alosia to unblock my head I haven't written a song in soo long :/


I looooooooovvvveeee this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! beautiful


Anyone know the chords for this???? I'd love to cover it!!

if you search the song on ultimate guitar, it should come up! 😊


I NEED THE CHORDS ASAP PLEASE SOMEONE!!!

They are on ultimate guitar! Just search up the title 😊


PLEASE SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE A TAB FOR THISS IM CRYING I DONT KNOW HOW TO FIGURE IT OUTT


someone tell me that strumming pattern and where i can find more cos i love it so much.


i come here like every day

i love this too much


The tune and beat of this song really reminded me of One for the Road. Anyone else?<br>


Dodie I really love this song please let me buy it somehow 😭😭

Dodie I still love this song lol plz lemme buy <3


You should have Ed Sheeran hear your music and arrange a duet with him! Your styles would blend nicely!


Add? Change? Why?! It's perfect! LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!


What type of ukulele is that? I love the new song!


Just coming around to say I listen to this song wayyyy too much


Petition for you and Carrie to do a duet of this song.


i think it needs a build up and some more instruments for a fuller sound, there is loads of harmonic potential too!!


For me it's
"I've broken before and I might break again
If I couldn't be broke there'd be no me to mend."


i think that she created the theme song of my life


What chords did you use because I REALLY WANT TO LEARN THIS


Now don't get me wrong, all of your songs are beautiful and perfect, but I think I like these alosia songs more that some of your main channel ones. :-)


Does anyone know how this goddess makes music, which app and effect on her backing?


Dear Dodie Clark,

You might not even respond to this, because you have made this video a while ago. However, I would like to say that this so aesthetically pleasing. You, a very good looking woman, who is very cute too singing a very nice demo, which is so catchy that it should be a song. I just can't..

You're doing so well, young lady!

Yours faithfully,
Bart de Haas


Please please make this an official song


Almost 2022 and I'm still waiting dodie!


"Whitch breakdown should I deal with first" Ughhh I totally have been feeling that all of last month


she should produce this tho, it's so cute


"A girl with a teenage brain, trying to play the grownup game" makes this sound like the intro to a movie about a girl whos grown up and trying to make it and ajxjakkxkwks dodie you give me good vibes


Honestly I was still holding out hope this would be on her new ep even though it’s been over 2 years lol

Don't give up hope. "She" is however many years old and it still got produced.


i still come back here the chorus is so BOMB


If you're looking for suggestions for the next demo, you could try changing the dm to a dm7 and the F to (not sure what the chord is called but) 2-0-1-3 (basically the f chord plus a c) I tried it and it sounds really rich. Anyways, I love the song, I hope alosia is going well for you!! This is a really good anthem for maneuvering a busy life especially with mental illness

Correction: when I said dm7 I meant what I think is dm9 but it's 2-2-1-3 on a soprano


Well i was thinking about songwriting but dodie already wrote down everything in my brain so

And also sang it better than i ever could


It didn't feel like a demo to me - I thought it was the finished article! The harmonies at the end were really good and I'd love to see you work on those a bit more, maybe bring it a bit closer to the front? Cracking song though - good work!


Something about watching her strumming hand is so soothing, lmao. Is that weird?


i’m still waiting for dodie makes this an actual song or something lol


The only critique I can think of is at the end when you layer the bridge underneath the chorus, make it a little louder and really jam out on the chorus. Right now it sounds really hesitant and you can barely make out that the bridge is there, but it sounds good! I've been singing this song nonstop for the past 24 hours


If I could like this multiple times I would.


hey Dodie ! can you do a cover where you wouldn't sing in falsetto?? something new from you that I would like to see you do :)!!!


Hi Dodie it's Rosie, thanks for my video, also I love this song so muchxxx😃


First off, this song is 1000% relatable right now. I love it a lot. Secondly, the only critique I have (that no one else has mentioned already) is that the person change back and forth in the last two stanzas (the bridge-y chorus bit?) is a bit off-putting (between "we" and "I"). Of course, I'm not sure if that was purposeful and I missed the point of it! If so, stick with your artistic choice, by all means. But if not, the mood of the song is a little confusing there just because of the word choice switching between a group mentality and just completely being story-telling/first-person. And...this was all a bit rambly. Sorry. Anyway, much love. Looking forward to the (possible/probable?) rest of ALOSIA. :)


Heheh i'm cheesily mouthing along to this because it's soooo good


it starts out sounding so similar to coffee and toothpaste niiiiiiiice


Me every time:
OH is this new?! who`s alosia!? Is this a song?!   clicks .... OHHHHHHH
starts singing along knowing every word from every other time ive done the same thing

Me every time:
OH is this new?! who`s alosia!? Is this a song?!   *clicks* .... OHHHHHHH
*starts singing along knowing every word from every other time ive done the same thing*


I need a video on how to write songs because I can never put it together right. Especially the instrumental part ahh


Learning this on uke was the best decision of my life

would you mind sharing the chords// strum patern??


I got into Berklee with this song so thanks Dodie


I wish I could find the chords somewhere


I'm very sad before i played this video. Now i'm a happy elf :) <3


Hey Dodie, We all know you see the requests for Melanie Martinez covers. I think it's a sign you should.


Does anybody know the different strumming patterns for the different parts of the song???? I cant tell what they are.  Also I figured out the chords if anyone wants them just reply 😊


I'm still waiting for the "better" demo on her main channel


i don't know about anyone else, but this song would be great with male harmonization, it's a fantastic song already, it just need someone else.


Does anyone know where I could get the chords?


Dodie's comments/ fans are such lovely positive smileys


does anybody know the chord progression for this song?


Just broke up with my boyfriend. Hate to sound cheesy but this is the only thing that's stopped me crying, just been playing with on repeat and singing along. Just wanna say thank you to Doddie for making me feel a little bit better xx


how does she mute the ukulele so well? i tried to mute it with my fingers like she does, but then it still makes weird high pitched notes...


I really liked in the last chorus bit the different parts intertwining


I love how the 4 isn't whispered like the other numbers because of how important it is (my view anyways)


Im kinda hoping that you dont actually touch this at all - this is beautiful Dodie


Other people are like “i clicked immediately when I saw <i>__</i> ” but I'm just like “I clicked immediately when I saw Dodie and the ukelele”

Other people are like “i clicked immediately when I saw ____ ” but I'm just like “I clicked immediately when I saw Dodie and the ukelele”


i may not like my thighs but at least my body keeps me alive
HOLY HELL

*i may not like my thighs but at least my body keeps me alive*
HOLY HELL


THIS IS MAIN CHANNEL MATERIAL IM IN LOVE DODIE


Does anyone know the chords to the song??


I'm gonna be real here

I don't think I've ever heard the word palpitations in a song 😂😂


My birthday is on August 16th so I am excited about the song for my day😊❤


One thing that bothers me is that the chords in the beginning (is that what it's called idk I don't do music stuff) sound too similar to some of your other songs. The chorus part sounds so good though.


dodie:if you have any ideas of where i could take this <br>me: TO HOLLYWOOD!!!!

dodie:if you have any ideas of where i could take this
me: TO HOLLYWOOD!!!!


wow! I thought alosia was a band and googled it until I saw "this is for me" and realised how pathetic that was of me haha


do you think
it’ll ever stop
will I miss this
when it’s all gone

----

yes you will
i did, and i do


sorry im a bit confused what is alosia?

btw  ur awesome dodie and great at singing! ;)


"Which breakdown shall I deal with first?" me me me


I love this song! please do something with it :D (main chan)


The way to make it better is keep it the exact same


Does anyone have the chords PLEEEAAASE??


Does anyone know the strumming patterns she uses ??


"Let me know where I could take this"

Maybe to a recording studio and make an album yanno that would be pretty sound


Oh dodie could you possibly tell us abit about the different ukeleles you have bc you have kinda inspired me to get lessons but I'm not sure what type to start on bc I would love a concert uke but I'm not quite sure yet and as a person of experience in writing and preforming with ukeleles i was wondering if I could learn from you I am studying music theory (not in uni) and love to write songs. J


When yo I gonna put an album out on iTunes Dodie. We're all waiting


I love this song as it is, but did she ever revisit it like she said she would???


What kind of ukulele do you have?? I'd love to buy it!!


I was gonna ask for the chords but you said this is a demo video so... I'll be back when the final version comes out :)


you should do a camp where you teach your fans how to make music. and play ukulele.


does anybody have guitar chords for this??? i have no idea how to change from ukeleles


Can you PLEASE make a video on how to play this???


PLEASE PUT AT LEAST SOME OF YOUR MUSIC ON ITUNES


Why do you put some of your music vids on your smaller channel like this one? I mean they are all wonderful they should be on the main channel!


The beginning reminds me of Dodies old song paint :)


all the original og Dodie fans thought that the first chords were gonna be the song "Paint"<br>I love that song, the first original song I heard from you, the first video I watched was when you sang One Direction... Awhh memories xD

all the original og Dodie fans thought that the first chords were gonna be the song "Paint"
I love that song, the first original song I heard from you, the first video I watched was when you sang One Direction... Awhh memories xD


'a woman with a teenage brain attempts to play the grown up again'👌


I think percussion would be good, even something simple like clicking fingers or clapping, better still, a shaker or something like ^-^


When are you gonna get signed already so I can buy your music!!


Ukuleles are so cute omfg... Like if you play a ukulele with really fucking deep lyrics... Most likely the uke will make it sound happier... I love my ukulele omg so cute.... Just like Dodie! JAKDCIDJSKCJDKDOSO


You look like so freaking pretty. aaaaaaaaaah. and you are talented af.


Did this ever bike a sing cuz I'm really digging it


DAMN MAYBE THIS IS MY FAVE... IDK SO FUCKEN UNDERRATED!!!!!!


Does anybody know what type (baritone,tenor) and make this ukulele is? Or any others Dodie uses? Or any good ukulele recommendations really, haha I'm needing some help😂😁xx

Okay so as far as i can tell (i covered it on my channel and this is what i worked it out to be) the verse you play F then Dm for 2 up strums and then just the first finger on the first fret of the third string for one strum and repeat, for the "I may not like my thighs" it's Gm and then A7 for the 1,2,3,4 you bar the first fret and then play the second fret of the second string and then for the chorus it's F, the 3 fret barred, the chord for just played on with the barred first fret and then the third fret barred again and then the bridge is the same as the chorus just lighter and strummed differently, I hope that helped! I'm not the best at explaining :') x


This is the best. When u get a shy person to open up just a bit.


I wish one of my friends was your friend and like had a party that I was invited to and you were there.   Like. I'd love to just sit and chat.  See what your thoughts are like.


this song this song this song this song this song forever this song every day this song


This is like the 60th dodie video I’ve watched today. Do I have a problem?

I make comments cuz this is my commenting channel


dodie put this on her new album challenge.


As if a sing could fit my life any better


Can someone please work out  the chords !!! 👌🏼


does anyone have chords or strumming patterns?


how did i read the title as “i don’t want to be alone” THREE TIMES. maybe it’s a sign... mmmprobably not.


When you realize that the chorus is the same recording the whole time


"A woman with a teenage brain attempts to play the grown up game" <br>relatable af

"A woman with a teenage brain attempts to play the grown up game"
relatable af


Something about the verses are very similar to 'coffee and toothpaste' x


i feel like this could be mashed up with unwritten. just me? ok


this song kind of gives me adored by him vibes


the song starts

me: AM I HIDING OR IS THIS JUST ME (if you don't get this reference it's from paint by dodie)

*the song starts*

me: *AM I HIDING OR IS THIS JUST ME* (if you don't get this reference it's from paint by dodie)


Whats the strumming pattern for this song?


I'm going through your videos and trying to draw your hairstyles because I've seemed to of forgotten how to draw straight hair and faces from different angles. Think I've found my art style, though


can you do a how to play ukulele video?? like how to strum and hold it and maybe some chords :)


Can you do a proper one on your main channel PLEASE???


I've been looking for your stuff on spotify...you're not there!!!!


thIS IS A BOP BUT IT ALSO HAS SO MUCH MEANING IN IT OHMYGOSH


one day i will tape the chorus that i made for this song


I have an idea for extra oomph... it involves a cardboard box (or an actual cajon box drum for them fancy schmancy people), shaker instrument (most likely substituted with rice/beads in a plastic egg), and an baby xylophone toy...


When you tour the east coast can you please tour New Jersey?? I'd be so excited to see you and my parents won't allow me to travel out of state. I know you can't really control where you go but if you get a choice pls keep me in mind!!

WHY ISNT THIS ON HER ALBUMS YET

(what are the chords to this i neeeeeeeeeed them its for science)


"which breakdown shall i deal with first?" <br>me

"which breakdown shall i deal with first?"
me


is part of this song about anorexia? "I may not like my thighs but at least my body keeps me alive." Beautiful song just wondering /\


This may be a stupid idea and defeat the purpose of alosia lol, but if u really can't think of a song, then instead of maybe getting stressed about it, you could do a type of workshop? Like sort of 'teaching' people how you get inspired to write songs or how you decide what instrument to use and stuff like that, cause it is to do with songs :) I love ur channel btw! xxx


I've been tryna pick up the uke recently - can someone help me out and tell me what the chords are. fank u v much x

I mean Bb instead of Bm in the 1,2,3,4 part

I've been playing a slightly different version C:
so yeah the first 2 chords that go back and forth are : F, Dm
The little part after that I think is : Gm, C7
The 1,2,3,4 : Bm, then a B7 shifted down a fret (you bar the 3rd fret instead) (not 100% sure about this chord though)
The chorus : F, Bm that's shifted down a fret (barred fret = 3rd fret), Bb, and then you'd bar the 3rd fret while playing the 6th fret for the A string

Hope that helped :)
