dodie - Rainbow (Official Lyric Video)

[@offbeatkiki]

DUDE I can't get over the Build a Problem road trip we're getting in these lyric videos omg

[@adfcoelho]

"I never even asked to be this way." This line is so powerful.

[@RobisonRacing68]

Yep!!

[@aleksandracieciorska1496]

I felt it too

[@lupevinado3087]

To all the rainbows reading this : you are bright, loved, valid and deserve to have a happy, fulfilled and loving life. keep shining, we need you on the other side of the clouds. I love you.

[@RobisonRacing68]

And right back to you Lupe. :)

[@meagneff7084]

Sending you my love in ALL colors-To all of those eyes that read this-keep letting your light shine and reflect with Bright brilliance who you Are!

[@Al_Ecat]

To all the rainbows, you're defective. Don't breed.

[@Louisepentland]

This one is so, so enchanting and lovely dodie and Jack xxxxx

[@Moonchild-sb3fz]

Dodie dots are truly gonna be immortalised forever now in forms of these beautiful masterpieces

[@amelialikesfrogs5778]

was playing the new pokemon and in the character creation there's a blemishes setting that is pretty much just them

[@amelialikesfrogs5778]

it's Beauty Spots XIII

[@DreamSeerXIII]

i know this song was written with the LGBTQ+ community in mind, but ever since discovering I'm on the autism spectrum this song has been on repeat. every single one of the lyrics hit home, and i mean they REALLY hit home. it just works. thank you dodie.

[@rosemccrossan2895]

SAME!!!! I feel like double rainbow but the lyrics hit even deeper now

[@ihartevil]

i am transgender autistic and also dealing with borderline personality disorder my autism i realized the best gift ever it really helps me deal with things and see things in a different way (the OCD and sometimes anxiety issues i might get annoyed about) everything else a total gift with it

[@pangolinsarecool]

Same, especially "Every map was never made for me." It's so beautiful

[@mewslibar]

@@pangolinsarecool yeah!! I feel like this song can totally be used variously though communities of people who aren’t NT, trans, or gay/bi ppl!! And that’s valid!! Y’all r so nice thanks for adknologinv the original songs meaning too!!

[@gigiforever9097]

agreed! I am queer and autistic, I relate to this heavily with both parts of myself

[@caraliiina8453]

this song is so devastating but in a good way the clarinet part where it goes down in a lil jazzy line just kills me also "i'd love to watch you gasp" HELP

[@zarasyed48]

the instrumentals in this song make me so incredibly happy yet broken HeLp

[@gwenythhobson3065]

Yeah. I get what you mean. The instrumentals make you smile, but make you feel hurt and sad at the same time (in a good way of course)

[@bobthebuilderday6leader]

BITTERSWEET. The lyrics and music bring such a hopeful yet painful feeling.

[@xelhaduvall4225]

I'm a trans woman and I just had to give up any relationship with my parents today. So say that I'm a rainbow. Tell me that I'm bright. When I'm used to feeling wrong... Well, that makes me feel alright.

[@mylifeisrosy5729]

i’m so sorry you had to go through that, but so happy you get to be genuine now! wish you love

[@themodesttriumph]

You deserve love and happiness. We love you.

[@bethanymonday3726]

I wish you the absolute best future filled with happiness and comfort and beauty!

[@11sriver40]

hey, you're amazing. we're all so proud of u

[@yuuri9064]

I'm sorry. I hope things get better from now

[@francielesavisky725]

The fact that the whole album could be a musical - stunning

[@RobisonRacing68]

I would so love to see her name on a West End or Broadway marquee. :)

[@natattacc99]

^^^^^^^

[@hutchyyy6444]

This. This is it. Everyone has a dodie song that just GETS them. This is it for me.

[@singenstattatmen5096]

Mine used to be When (and still kinda is), but now this one hits home for me too - finally understood why it was getting hard to navigate.

[@agatamike6950]

okay so this song is clearly about being LGBTQ+ but i can't not notice how well it fits my autistic experience as well... like, the lines "And I thought it would feel good to understand why I was different/ But my title just talks over me" and "How can I be proud of what a million people shout at me I'm not" are hitting really hard - people tend to either see me only through the lenses of my autism and ignore who i am as a person, or straight up not believe i'm autistic, despite a professional diagnosis, just because i don't fit what they think autism looks like. i really hope i'm not derailing the message of this song, i'm also lesbian and asexual and i do get what it's about, just wanted to share my thoughts

[@SamanthaFierke]

I’ve felt exactly the same

[@andrewgunawan4502]

I’d always thought it was about the experience of neurodivergence

[@anti_fragile]

I also get that feeling. I also connect with her song , Don't Quite Belong. I feel like it reflects the experience of living as an autistic person for me. It is also fitting considering the rainbow infinity symbol is generally regarded as a symbol for autistic people.

[@clarapena1484]

I have ADHD and yes

[@rashimohan]

okay i fucking love this whole car-backseat theme miss dodie ur BRAIN

[@riorosario18]

i love how every lyric video has its own unique style to them, like, she could’ve just been sitting in a car and singing but NO she has to add MANNEQUINS COSTUMES MCDONALDS SPECIAL EFFECTS PARTIES CAKES COLORFUL LIGHTING SLOW MOTION REVERSE STRIPPING WALKS ON THE BEACH SMOKE CRYING SO MUCH CRYINGGG

[@annajams]

Shout out to every LBGTQ+ heart ❤

[@MiaGraceMusicPH]

This song is a masterpiece. It basically humanizes the listener who has ever felt peculiar or different, and then that person just becomes extraordinary - which is the real truth about everyone.

[@lana.d.torres]

when the colorful lighting comes in oh that is MAGICAL

[@klaraholmer7409]

The cautious hopefulness of this just kills me

[@aureliable8712]

Well described!

[@carolcvargas1]

"so please step inside my soul, I'd love to watch you gasp; you'd understand in minutes, and I'd like to think you'd miss it, 'cause so would I" is such a brilliant line

[@2000-very-small-ants]

i love how the raindrops on the window look like stars when the light hits them just right

[@Razmatini]

these videos give me "riding the bus and pretending i'm in an indie movie" vibes in the best way💕

[@erika6473]

Dodie: "How can I be proud of what a million people shout at me I'm not?" Dodie's (almost) 2 million subscribers: 👁👄👁

[@Emmsley14]

This year is the first time in my life I have come out to my family and friends as Pan. I'm a rainbow and I'm finally proud 💕💙💛💖

[@Glあss]

[@marisophi]

​@@JackHoward Ah, was wondering how it was done. Beautiful by both you and dodie! Made me tear up a little.

[@glencoconut]

Lighting at 1:54 reminds me of the lighting when Rainbow was performed live and ahh I love it

[@isaacroot5459]

This song is one of those that I get so genuinely choked up in, it awakens an emotion I can’t even fully process, it just comes out as tears

[@meagneff7084]

Give it time. This song both helped me to realize How to shine my Light,and that it's not 'wrong' to be bright or bubbly,but sometimes it's better than others. ☆Dodies songs can be very therapeutic, without even knowing it

[@bibi-tn4gb]

how can one person be so pretty omg

[@YouAre2Bad4Me]

dodie is the rainbow we don´t deserve

[@snehapradhan5591]

The LITERAL RAINBOW lights literally stopped my breath for a second!!! Being a bi girl myself, I was so so happy at that part of the video I wanted to cry I love this so much 😭❤️❤️❤️

[@icraigg]

0:07 love the fact the traffic light is mid change so all 3 are on. just looks really cool though the rain on the window.

[@icraigg]

this one I think is my favourite, I love night time shoots with out of focus lights

[@SerenaHope14]

When this song was first uploaded, I was in a very vulnerable time and I sobbed through it. This is one of the most magical songs I've ever heard and I LOVE hearing it with all the strings

[@jaychilton9507]

I just got very choked up watching this... being a part of the rainbow can be so rewarding yet so painful. Take care of yourselves out there fellow rainbows 🏳️‍🌈💖

[@cephi]

1:54 god, this part was so beautiful. i finally have the book "secrets of the mad" and one of the first chapters had little dodie in the back of a car, staring outside with a colorful mind as if she was in a music video - it really reminded me of this.

[@JessHessMusic]

Every single frame of these lyric videos is the most beautiful thing I've ever seen

[@ailurusky]

IM SO GLAD THIS GOT MADE INTO AN OFFICIAL SONG!!! i remember watching when the original on loop when it came out but being so sad that it wasnt a full song, its awesome it even got a music video ans everything!!!

[@asamahoesaegi543]

I remember listening to the original one in dodie’s room way back when i was 14 and crying because it felt like somebody understood me and I wasn’t completely alone. I’m 18 now and although my situation isn’t any better at home, I’m happier and prouder of myself and my identity. Life gets better :)

[@zuzpager]

"You'd understand in minutes and I'd like to think you'd miss it, cause so would I" I don't even know what to say. Without even realizing I grew up thinking I'm different and noone understands and praying that they could just see what I do... And then the added "so would I" This part makes me feel so seen and so light and made me realize I would miss it here too.

[@cheeze6850]

"and id like to think youd miss it- cause so would I" the act of wishing to be loved is a form of love itself

[@sarahturner4148]

AHH the rainbow light in the last chorus!!!!! it sparkles off her dress and headband. so beautiful 😭

[@colibritube]

the rainbow lighting makes everything even better

[@jasonrendich5914]

I see what humans call Aurora's. when I hear sounds and feel vibrations, I see colors. I see the rainbow that surrounds people. Believe me Dodie when I say, that your Rainbow is Brilliantly Bright 🎉

[@lilith6314]

wow. those first few lyrics into the song i just began to cry. dodie has the gift of writing a feeling that cannot be described.

[@guinevere1165]

I really thought this song was about neurodivergency lol. I have ADHD so watching this really resonated with me

[@tweetoc]

ahh rainbow never fails to make me emotional! it's so beautiful 🌈

[@lemonade9922]

I have borderline personality disorder. Thank you dodie for making this song. I’ll cherish your music my whole life

[@bloodgutsandarson4941]

this song helped me through a really rough patch when i was still figuring out my gender and sexuality. i cried so many times to this song feeling like an outcast for loving women and not feeling like a woman myself. now, this is my comfort song and im finally happy being who i am and loving who i love. thank you dodie. you're one of my biggest inspirations

[@Al_Ecat]

What are you? Titless Tina?

[@aineiru]

these lyric videos road trips are amazing

[@witchofchaosss]

I think this might be my favourite Dodie song. It's so comforting to me

[@ruerose2218]

as an autistic person, this song is a wonderful representation of exactly what it feels like to be on the spectrum. "when every map was never made for me" I mean COME ON if that aint me idk what is

[@aarynbrown4405]

This feels like driving home after a long journey

[@yelyahfan88x94]

Dodie can do more for my mental health in four minutes than prozac can in four years.

[@quinnmoreno653]

omfg i love this song, i made my clock in 6th grade tech class based on it i mean it doesn't work anymore and a few numbers have fallen off but its still hanging on my wall 4 years later. You have no idea how much this song helped me discover who i am, it was like the second i hears it i felt like someone finally understood how i was feeling and i finally knew who i was. Thank you so much Dodie!!

[@gibanete]

to be in a car while is raining and hearing this song, my heart

[@totakkeagiraffe]

this song made me cry, i cant help but relate it to my struggle with autism. thank you so much dodie, you've been my favorite artist and i've grown with you since i was in middleschool

oh my god, her reflection and the rainbow lights... im gonna cryy

When she like notices the colored lights and her eyes just light up and she smiles. Ahhhh I’m crying

it’s like rainbow, ?, four tequilas down, ., sorry, and when are all one connected song. it reminds me of a concert or a musical and it felt like i was in a world that dodie had created, goddamn it’s so BEAUTIFUL this album is a MASTERPIECE

[@harpersmith1400]

If all the Build A Problem songs take place in the back of a car, how far is she going? That's a long road trip.

As an aroace who's always felt very out of place, this really resonates - especially "how can I be proud of what a million people shout at me I'm not" and "it's getting hard to navigate when every map was never made for me"

This song makes me feel so many emotions at once. It's the kind of song that makes you feel an indescribeable emotion. I feel sadness, and also unbelieveable joy all at once. It makes me feel hopeful and lost at the same time. I stumbled upon this song through a book I was reading and I'm immensely impressed. How she manages to keep her voice soft and quiet yet so emotional with the orchestra and soft guitar in the background just ties it all together. Thank you, dodie

[@_deletedalex_7001]

I remember when Dodie first uploaded the rainbow song. It touched my heart because it was during pride month and I saw all these people having so much fun being themselves while I was closeted and afraid to tell my family about myself. And listening to this song just put all the thoughts and emotions I was going through and have been going through while not being true to myself, out there. This song indirectly made me come out because my dad found me crying while listening too it. In a way I’m happy that this song got to be a part of me coming out Rainbow will always have a special place in my heart. Thank you for your amazing music Dodie
