I love these "old dodie" vibes: long hair, keyboard right in front of the camera and self-taught piano playing. Now she is supported by other instruments and of course she's supported by a lot more people than for example 4 years ago but she's still the same human.

It's all so quick, and I feel sick Red pushing down on the green [Chorus] Could you love this? Will this one be right? Well if I'm being honest, I'm hoping it might Could you love this? Did you plan to fall? Well if I'm being honest, oh I bet it's not that at all [Verse 2] Hope has a cost: keeping all fingers crossed and held tight But I look idiotic, with my limbs all knotted. It don't feel right Truly you've shaken me, and I think you like how I plead And I have a hunch that that's all you wanted from me [Pre-Chorus] You blew me up like a big balloon far too soon Holding my breath makes me choke How did I get here?

[@speckofdignity2487]

It’s incredible how a song that probably means something very specific to the person who wrote it can be interpreted in so many different ways based on who is listening to it. For example: I feel as though I can relate to this song, even though I’m aromantic, the bit that says “I don’t think that’s it” (or something along those lines) makes it feel as though dodie meant that she wasn’t understanding love at all, when really I doubt that’s what she was intending. Music is so powerful, because power can also be in the eye (well, ear) of the beholder

[@molly5545]

[@codasinger5298]

This is why I listen to Dodie's music. Not because I can always relate to the songs, and not because I'm a fan of her voice (Which I am), but because of this: 1:12 You see that little smile on her face? That smile that creeps in no matter how serious she's trying to act? That smile she gets when she hears something she's been working on for months probably finally start coming together? That smile she gets when you know chills are running up and down her arms in a way that only music can make happen. I listen to Dodie because she loves and appreciates music in all of its glory. She's an incredible artist

[@LeeeHack]

Ditto. I'm betting that just 0.2s after the video ends there was a scream of joy (maybe we'll get to see it on some behind-the-scenes later on), like we usually got on her earlier videos when a take finally got the exact form and feel that she wanted. Though looking at how far she is right now, I'm guessing that there are less and less re-takes required these days.

[@rosabellle]

this made me cry. it's the exact thing i feel but i have never been able to voice it. thank you

[@Polarwhisper6]

I’m so glad you noticed and pointed that out. Thats so awesome on its own. I’m sure a chef feels that too when he truly creates. I hope everybody feels the same thing with whatever it is they do, but what dodie is feeling is only what you feel when your soul was designed for the thing you’re doing. so she’s feeling it at volume 11. I’m just gonna keep finding more volume 11 things.

[@richardridings7511]

[@amyukulele]

Shah-Rae Weaver omg hi queen

[@elijah2516]

I feel like this song is about someone with very low self confidence and self worth, and feels insecure about the relationship they’re in. They’re worried that they are romanticizing the relationship and making it out to be more than it actually is, perhaps because they have done so before.

[@laurathomas4824]

That's definitely a way to take it, but to me, it seems like instead of being in a relationship, they're on a first date with someone. They're sitting there, trying to present themselves in the best light possible, wondering if they're even worth the other person's attention and love, praying that there's enough good parts of them to outweigh the difficult ones. But, ain't it wonderful that music is objective and anyone can take anything they want from this?

[@elijah2516]

Your Mom Honestly!! I love interpretive music,, it makes it more personal and beautiful :)

[@laurathomas4824]

@@elijah2516 if you think about it, any song can be like that. Music is subjective, even to the writer. If an artist writes a song about a breakup and says that it's about a breakup, you can still think it's about anything you want because it's all about what you think it's about.

[@hannahbecxa]

It seems like this song was made for me _(of course it wasn't, but sometimes there are songs that you just vibe with so much it feels like it was made for you)_ I already know this will be the song I'll play on the ride to school, earbuds in, in my puffy coat, head lying up against the window, humming along happily because I love to hum along to songs, happy or sad. I've replayed this about 15 times, it's just so incredible.

[@Lanasmelodies]

I mean, I can not speak for anyone else but when sharing stories and music or any other variety of art, what makes it so special and just so I don't know how to say it but bonding, is how it is cared for, listened to and can even add so much to a person hearing or just experiencing(/going through the motions of) the personal and honest feelings, struggles and thoughts. What I'm trying to say, is that the way you experience/treasure this//a song and that it can add so beautifully to your feelings (I'm sorry, I hope this makes some sort of sense). The art and how it is perceived and appreciated/treasured/much it means to//by others or in this case you or me etc (in my opinion) adds so much to the magic of art. Sometimes you just feel and whatever the reason or something might be, I think it is so beautiful and and even magical to be able to share and connect with eachother trough music. I hope you have a wonderful day & remember to take care of yourself ♡ I hope this made any sort of sense to you, all love.

**Confused**

[@courtneyhansen9686]

For more than a year, I had a heart-aching crush on one of my friends in choir. I knew it wasn’t going to happen. Besides, I was already in a happy and healthy relationship with Curtis. So I forced my feelings to the side for the sake of my sanity. But I still got butterflies in my stomach and would stutter whenever they talked to me. I was still just a typical teen with a crush. They were part of the choir trip to New York City, that happened earlier this year in April, so I got the chance to be around them and get to know them. Which hurt because I felt invisible to them, but the dreamer side of me saw hope. I would sit by the window in my hotel room with my earbuds on while Brooke lied on the bed humming and snap chatting her friends A song came on at that moment and I got goosebumps listening to it. It wasn’t yet professionally recorded but it was still powerful and struck my fragile heart. It was my song. That same day, Nicole and Liberty had split off our group to explore New York with their parents. So it was just me, Brooke, and our chaperone. Brooke and I had thought we should go see Battery Park and then go shopping at Strand or even Flying Tiger. We found a large group that also wanted to see Battery Park and joined them. They were in that group, my heart-wrenching crush. We talked and laughed with their friends, the cool kids of choir, and I was ecstatic. My hands shook and my face went red too much, but I was still excited to be with THEM. I was hopeful... The few chaperones of the large group decided to go on the ferry, which I knew would make us late, but they insisted. We waited for what felt like forever, but we finally boarded the ferry. It was freezing and windy, and i saw them happy and talking with their friends. And I felt the horrible dread in my heart that confirmed... I had no chance... They would never fall for me. Me, this awkward, stuttering teen. I cried a bit in a corner of the ferry and in the lobby while we waited for the last ferry to take us back. After the ferry dropped us off, we ran to the nearest subway, I was right we were going to be late and already were. My subway pass wouldn’t work and I struggled to get past the gate, I finally got past and rushed to catch up with the group. On my way to catch up, there was some stunning subway art and I went to pull my camera out of my pocket. My numb hands slipped and I dropped my camera on the tile. I stopped and went to pick it up. There was a huge crack down the middle and it refused to turn on. I screamed a little in frustration and proceeded to cry, this was the worst day yet. (yes, I’m dramatic, I KNOW) Brooke saw me in my state of distress and rubbed my arms trying to sooth my pain. But my heart hurt too much, I didn’t know how to move on. Brooke handed me her phone and asked if I wanted to listen to something, I nodded and typed in the song and put it on loop. I sat on the subway train with tears slipping down my face as dodie’s voice flooded my ears: “Could you love this? Will this one be right? Well if I'm being honest, I'm hoping that it might Could you love this? Did you plan to fall? Well if I'm being honest If I’m being honest Well if I’m being honest Oh, I bet it's not that at all” I never told them, I never told anyone about why I was crying, what I was truly mourning. I was mourning having a crush and having far too much of an expectation about it. I was mourning them. ~~~ Thank you dodie for such a lovely song, it means a lot to me and I cry every time I hear it. Thank you Cheers~

[@facedown8069]

Lulu Brendlinson FUN STORY when I went to see dodie I did ACTUALLY hurl on the floor and had to be carried over the barricades by some guards and sat in the medical room for the whole show

[@whohasthekeys]

THIS IS SO CUTE OH MY GOD. It’s so good and precious and wonderful and lovely and somehow hopeful and sad at the same time and ahh. I can’t figure out how dodie perfectly captures emotions, and then puts them into words. It’s incredible. *She* is incredible

[@salamilidaintgonfit7576]

Such an adhd/rsd mood, honestly thank you dodie for putting this into words!

[@StephanieDouglassMusic]

Absolutely stunning. That string quartet - this is why the world still needs chamber music.

[@joelleelaine1284]

I read a comment about interpretation and how incredible it is for someone to write a song that can have so many meanings depending on who's listening. I think of my anxieties and trust issues developed from past relationships of people who are merely looking for someone to pay attention to them, and not to love. This song means so freaking much to me. Being broken and not being able to believe someone when they say they want to put you back together. Dodie and the cinematography of this video, along with the background musicians seriously brought tears to my eyes. I've watched you for years. I don't even know how many at this point, but watching your journey from crap quality vids of you and Hedy to now THIS. my heart is full, if anyone deserves to be where they are in life, it's you.

[@maggieo1683]

I'm just... I have no words. How can she look flawless, sound flawless, and BE flawless so effortlessly? Ugh this nearly made me tear up, it was so freaking beautiful. The song, her voice, her look... I can't even put it into words. Thank you, Dodie, for existing.

[@isabellapalomba3071]

i love every one of dodie's songs, but this one...it really hits me for some reason. brava, dodie! beautiful composition

[@groundybeef]

this sounds like it’s straight from la la land

[@AC-yx5cr]

*jotai hauskaa* lol watch it be in the next la la land they make.. if they make it

[@relaxolotl788]

I can imagine it being in a new broadway production

[@madiblair5208]

Cara Pierce yes!! It could totally be a Broadway song!!

[@chloe1955]

Everything about this is just oh so raw and beautiful. Reminds me a bit of a situation I'm currently going through. Thank you dodie, for your music, for sharing it, for this video. It's all so lovely.

[@madisonmacleod3344]

Ok but the all female string section?? S T U N N I N G

[@squidiirue9365]

*IVE GOTTEN THE SIGNED CD AND IM SO EXCITED AND I CANT-*

[@luzoob]

This is genuinely so beautiful. I usually don’t find songs or performances to be beautiful, but this song and this performance is so beautiful and moving. I’m so in love with this

[@sunshinemusic9876]

OMG this girl, this voice, the black&white, the venue! PURE PERFECTION ❤️ Goosebumps! I wish youa great day and I wanna recommend you another cool chill out song for your playlist: Benedict Ammann - The Rules This song always cheers me up so I wanted to share it with you :)

[@liviciabattery]

Adriana Lombardi YEAH IT’S AMAZING

[@kohlinoor]

Thanks for the recommendation (and the good vibes)

[@nimaro6698]

And if I'm being honest, there are no words in this world which can describe how much I love Dodie and everything she's doing. This is soooo good, I'm crying.

[@ambrosia.floros]

I really like this live session sound. The slight echo from every thing she sings, every piano note, every pluck and regular bow movement from the orchestra...you just hear it all. And it makes it so much more powerful in my opinion.

[@magnoliastarr3826]

I was told this is where I will start loving myself Flirting's delicious; proved to be beneficial for mental health All of my best bits pulled forward, collected, displayed Sadly I just think that I was disgusting, today [Pre-Chorus] You blew me up like a big balloon far too soon I'm left a stuttering teen How did I get here? It's all so quick, and I feel sick Red pushing down on the green [Chorus] Could you love this? Will this one be right? Well if I'm being honest, I'm hoping it might Could you love this? Did you plan to fall? Well if I'm being honest, oh I bet it's not that at all [Verse 2] Hope has a cost: keeping all fingers crossed and held tight But I look idiotic, with my limbs all knotted. It don't feel right Truly you've shaken me, and I think you like how I plead And I have a hunch that that's all you wanted from me [Pre-Chorus] You blew me up like a big balloon far too soon Holding my breath makes me choke How did I get here? It's all so quick, and I feel sick I’m used to being a joke [Chorus] Could you love this? Will this one be right? Well if I'm being honest, I'm hoping it might Could you love this? Did you plan to fall? Well if I'm being honest, oh I bet it's not that at all [Bridge] All All All All [Chorus] Could you love this? Will this one be right? Well if I'm being honest, I'm hoping that it might Could you love this? Did you plan to fall? Well if I'm being honest If I’m being honest Well if I’m being honest Oh, I bet it's not that at all

HI HANNAH ❤️

[@eleanorpowell535]

WADDUP BRUH

[@hannahvarghese6979]

I keep listening on repeat over and over again; it never gets old. The best part is that the rush of emotions I felt when I heard this song the first time still happens even when I listen to it a month after its release.

[@LekhaPReddy]

This is so rich and mature and I am so obsessed! I'm so grateful to have seen your growth as a musician, and your voice sounds the best that it ever has!! Love you Dods

[@clarahomps9099]

Dodie you have come so far... Take a look back at all the things you've accomplished, all the people you e moved. You are truly an exceptional human, teaching us every day to embrace our imperfecctions. You have created a loving and supportive community and we could not be prouder of you. 💗

[@skykat6489]

Actually one of the most beautiful things I've heard.

[@girl.1660]

dodie,, that was absolutely incredible. it was a perfect song and i smiled throughout the whole thing. you brought in all the different instruments at perfect times and i honestly don’t think you could have done a better job. i personally got tingles and goosebumps at the end with the harmonies and everything ahh i love you so much and you should be extremely proud.

[@nayafauzia476]

Dodie, this is so beautiful. I just want to say, no matter how you are feeling about yourself or your life, to us your talent and beauty and worthiness is a fact. The fact that Dodie is a wonderful human being is as clear as how the sun shines on a blue sky-ed day. We love you.

[@amaurylittlemo3244]

Her composing skills are growing and it's beautiful to watch

[@ameliagodwin6791]

If I'm being honest this is my new favourite song ♥️
