[@amyisaway7800]

orla just vibing and being so effortlessly cool is my favourite thing

[@professorquinsonsnib]

haha. cool girl.

[@doddleoddle]

[@shaunbabu982]

Notice how she changed "24, I still count everyone I kiss" to "26, I still count everyone I kiss" in special girl...so I guess we got a remix here🎉🎉🎉

[@todradmaker4297]

Maybe she has had a couple more hookups since she first wrote it.

[@shaunbabu982]

@@todradmaker4297 she's talking about her age. She wrote this when she was 24, now that she's 26 she changed it in this version of the song

[@AleTrosman]

How incredible is it that I came down to the comments and read this exactly as she was singing it! I love her confidence while singing this one

[@BrunaChaves09]

@@shaunbabu982 well, that was always my interpretation as well, but you can't deny that this verse specifically is very ambiguous and she really COULD be talking about the number of people she's kissed.......

OKAY, THIS IS PERFECT BUT SPECIAL GIRL PERFORMANCE WAS SUPERIOR TO ANYTHING ANYONE HAS EVER DONE. Since the moment she started dancing, to crushing into the flowers and singing at them, to playing the clarinet, to the drums, to her running and jumping at the end. ETHEREAL

[@clairecreates04]

I agree. Smiled the whole way through 😁

[@melododie]

I truly ascended watching this

[@fyorarules]

This concert setting is like something out of a dreeaaammmm. She’s just standing in a flowering meadow and singing her album with a whole band???

[@GergC]

props to the sound engineer for getting such a studio level recording in such a difficult setup. obvs there are some harmonies etc recorded in post but still...mad ting

[@CatherineLu]

I totally thought the harmonies were done live too tho-- the pianist and bassist, plus maybe some synth action?

[@claraboe2755]

There was definitely some production stuff taken directly from the studio version. And there were more voices than just them. I think dodie is too much of a perfectionist to not take the parts of the rich arrangements that dont work live

[@justyourlocalrat_]

oh thank the universe i was going insane like did i read the title wrong am i missing something bc i was like only orla is singing backing vocals also how is dodie singing backing vocals for herself. it was a recorded live performance not an actual live performance skdjwjsjsjsj that makes,,, a lot of sense

[@thegummychair1613]

@@justyourlocalrat_ I think most obvious is how in the last bits of “Hate Myself” you can hear a shaker but when the camera pans to the drums, the shaker is sitting on the drummer’s stand

Cottagecore dodie concert.... I'm here for it

[@jayjay12909]

For the ones who wonder because I read the question in the live chat: the guitar that looks so small is a palor guitar. These are always a little smaller. Edit: I'm sorry, I forgot the "r" in the name of the name of these kind of guitar. Correctly, it is: parlor or parlour. This name describes the size of the guitar.

[@grahambell4310]

Not wishing to be critical, but its called a 'Parlour' guitar. Its just a description of the size 🙂 They used to play them at indoor gatherings at the turn of the century

[@jayjay12909]

@@grahambell4310 Thank you for you're response so that I can correct what I wrote. Actually I know that it is not the name of a brand or something but I should have said this in my comment. Oh, and according to google you can pronounce it "parlor" or "parlour". And rereading my words I noticed that I forgot the " r", I'm sorry!

This reminds me of the kpop group Pentagon singing their song Daisy acoustic and live in a meadow. The aesthetics of this performance and that one are just superiorrrrr!

[@producermz5694]

I remember as a teen, traveling across the country in the back seat of my parents car, with Tori Amos "Little Earthquakes" on repeat in my headphones. The professional tightness of her music mixed with raw, deep emotional lyrics tightly grabbed me and held on for decades. I presume there have been a lot of great artists since then, but none have crossed my path that have hit me as hard in the chest as she did, ...until you. Your music has immediately touched my soul and elevated it; thank you so much for sharing your work. I hope you have a deeply satisfying, rewarding career, and joy throughout your life.
