doddleoddle thanks for sharing on twitter this masterpiece

[@maggiebryant8208]

doddleoddle thank you so much for bringing awareness to this amazing rendition

[@raysplaceinspace]

This was amazing!!

[@sorchajoseph1448]

just wanted to say that i’m in this choir and all the signs that we are holding up aren’t necessary true to the person holding the sign but it is true for one of these people singing. we just got the signs handed out randomly.

[@willjo_cor]

Sorcha Joseph I CAN CONFIRM ON THAT, EVERYONE WROTE DOWN AN ISSUE BUT THE SIGNS WERE PASSED TO RANDOM PEOPLE TO GIVE THE PEOPLE WHO WERE UNCOMFY MORE PRIVACY ON THEIR ISSUE ❤️

[@bluesybluetina9152]

Sorcha Joseph is there any way of getting like all the words that were on the front and back? it was amazing! thank you :)

[@mort0303]

Willow Cormier That's genius! Getting the words out there but not making anyone feel uncomfortable

[@teresaanya]

I figured, that's how we did this kinda thing in my choir too. You guys sounded beautiful❤

[@fairycars]

❤️ you all did an amazing job ❤️

[@piab2774]

Wow when they flipped the signs over I just started full on sobbing. This is so beautiful

[@camlock1191]

I feel you.

[@sharifaatartoussi3669]

big mood

[@potato.pancake]

Pia B same but i almost laughed because there was one person who i’m pretty sure forgot to flip their sign lol

[@maryhogg8670]

The guy who had family on the negative side and pressure on the positive side

[@lorisiccia5914]

Same here. Tears came on the flip...with all the things that might help get them through the tough times.

[@edenhope9129]

When the kid flipped his card around and it just said “water”... I felt that

[@stuffronisays4378]

Eden Hope oh my god I love water

[@tarrenr8159]

[@dualitysDownfall]

I _was_ about to start full on crying but then I read this comment

[@garlicbreab_]

when a “bullying” sign was upside down the whole time i felt that 😭

[@bugbie]

when that girl said “ƃuᴉʎllnq” 🙌 say it louder for the people in the back sis

[@geckojorts]

how do you like a funny comment more than once

[@morgaaaaaa]

i felt that

[@sweettea735]

Wow it says bullying backwards.

I JUST CAME TO COMMENT ABOUT THAT LMFAOOOO

[@amandanovak8953]

I’m cackling lmao

[@ck1894]

One boy held up "FAMILY" first and then later when they turned around the signs it said "PRESSURE" 😂

[@sophiad548]

it's true though!

[@jzmynstephens]

@@sophiad548 they mean when it was all bad stuff the kid had it on the side that said family and when it was good stuff it said pressure lol the kid held up the wrong side

I just wanna take a moment to express my gratitude to VYC and Dodie. Our VYC JR group chat blew up ever since we found out about the amazing feed back we were getting. Performing this song was one of the most rewarding moments throughout all my years in choir. No words can describe the amount of love I felt from everyone around me and it was so fulfilling to share this with everyone in the audience. So thank you to everyone; VYC, Carrie, Dodie and everyone who watched this.

[@uptownfrank9]

this is so wholesome!

[@fairycars]

i expected when they flipped the cards it would be like “happiness” and all these super happy things, yet instead they were all the little things :)) like music and painting. this is so beautiful.

[@SolarisMusic]

little things, all the stereotypes, they're gonna help you get through this one night

I love how far Dodie has come to have a choir sing her songs. And oh so beautifully, as well. So proud

3:20 girl in very back is holding her card upside down,, my heart :,))

There's a boy holding his sign backwards. I feel like that's the kind of thing I would accidentally do

[@ownedbystark4810]

@@Emily-un1wp god these kids are so precious and need to be protected at all costs

[@shereebishop8961]

@@ownedbystark4810 Thank You!! The song is about peer pressure and fears...some of which are making mistakes and being bullied for it. Have you noticed the many comments from people bullying those great kids that were less than perfect in the song, like we all are in the world! That is the beauty of the song, we should be allowed to make mistakes, learn from them and be able to carry on without being harrassed. These are great kids who really do care about others................such a fabulous variation on the song, too bad others try to pick out just the minor mistakes.

[@winownaq9859]

yes, water keeps us alive

[@georgiaq6125]

This is a gorgeous arrangement. As a dodie fan and a choir nerd I have GOOSEBUMPS

[@valaya.3]

Haha same!! I freaking love choir and also Dodie and also uplifting messages and I am crying and my soul is singing

[@moi379]

You must be really happy with dodie's music right now, chord nerd. Hope you stuck around

[@eggwhite1354]

imagine being there and listening to this angelic choir

[@Bea-ru7wn]

it think hearing a room full of people saying it would all make sense again was what i needed

[@anna_0022]

The one kid with "sleep" on his sign felt way too relatable

[@spydalog]

Came here because of dodie, absolutely beautiful and amazing

[@anothersarah825]

I cried. So happy a choir performed this song and so happy dodie saw it and loved it. It was wonderful

[@uoxanna945]

i'm bawling my freaking eyes out. my friend who's a grade older than me just had a really emotional conversation with me over dms and she told me that she stayed alive for me. it's like the starts are freaking aligning. i'm gonna keep going. if you're reading this, you are loved. if not by friends or family, *then by me.*

[@kaymel5092]

This comment made me tear up. The same goes for you too. You are so loved and I will love you if ever you feel no one else does.

This made me cry so much. I’m crying in my bedroom at 3am just listening to this

when the "never being enough" sign appeared I just cried my ass of

[@keysmashingnerd]

BRUHH THOSE CHORDS ON “THERE WILL BE A DAY WHERE YOU CAN SAY YOURE OKAY AND MEAN IT” YALL ARE ANGELS 😭😭

[@um720]

The girl who held the sign that said, “I am worth it.” Wow.

[@tinfoiltreasurer]

Was someone going to tell me an insanely talented youth choir sang Dodie Clark's Secret For The Mad or was youtube's recommended section just supposed to make me cry in the bathtub

[@sweettea735]

I did something similar for one of my drama teacher’s leaving assembly. I asked people to write on a piece of paper things our drama teacher helped us succeed in and to stick onto thw wall for them to see in thw morning. I remember one said: “helped me overcome my abusive father.” God damn it. I started weeping.... i still have all of their “confessions” in a shoebox under my bed....

[@aileenhussey5678]

oh no you've combined my two weaknesses, choir and dodie. its too good!!!!

[@adynofpasavil]

It got to a point where I was crying so much I couldn't read the signs. Seeing their struggles and understand that pain but seeing that they know ways to cope.. This is so beautiful.

[@leeneedsfriends6750]

A choir that actually sings meaningful songs ahhh i wish my school's was like this

When I was in choir my sophomore year we had to sing last Christmas and we had to dab

[@chloetolosa7185]

This song made me cry when dodie released it. Now it made me cry because a whole group of kids are understanding the meaning of the song and sharing it with everybody.

[@JaymeMiller3]

This is absolutely beautiful and something I needed to see right now Thank you Dodie for this beautiful song and thank you Vancouver Youth Choir for this even more beautiful rendition

[@rubylynn6462]

Imagine, if the first time you heard this song, you were in the church as they sang it. They’re popping up signs and one, two, or even more of them really hit home for you. You’re listening and thinking “man, I needed to hear this today. I’ve been having such a rough time and this is exactly what I wanted/needed to hear.” And then those kids flip the sign and start smiling and you see your hobbies or things you get enjoyment from on the other side. It knocks the breath out of you. And you feel, just barely, a little more at peace with your current situation. I think this is how Dodie intended the song to be heard. Love it! Beautiful rendition!

[@jvm1508]

I was in the church when this song was performed, and it was very, very moving. Whenever I tried to tell people about it afterwards, I started crying. As a parent and teacher, I know that kids carry many burdens these days, but to see it portrayed in this way was extremely impactful. To the singer who wrote "never being enough", I hope you come to know in a very deep way that you are more than enough.

[@bellarose7671]

that girl at the strat was amazing!

[@juliabishop003]

This is the most inspiring and emotional song that I have had the pleasure to perform with the Vancouver Youth Choir. Thank you to Dodie for writing this amazing and beautiful song that reassures and helps people who are going through tough times. Also, thank you to Carrie, our choral director who is such an inspiration for all of us. I'm proud to be a part of this unique and creative organization. I hope that, in the future, we will be able to perform many more songs together that will surely ignite a beacon of hope and joy in everyone's hearts.

[@yogourtcoveredraisins]

after finishing my first performance with my choir, i thought about how amazing this song would sound sung by a choir. this completely brought that vision to life and i have never been moved by a choir performance so much. thank you ♡

[@kinleyanne1124]

Ahhh. Chills. Tears. So pretty

[@zemmacraven7625]

Here from Dodie's Instagram and I'll be honest this was freaking amazing. I thought I was going to be tear free and I was doing so well! Three quarters of the way in and I still hadn't burst out crying. The sign flip thing though.... that got me. Flipping hell that got me. Good job.

My tears dropped when they flipped the cards tbh I wasn’t expecting that, this is beautiful

[@alykgray]

oh my god when they flipped the cards over i actually got chills

[@ajparadise6649]

My school choir is doing this and most of us were really excited when we heard because it is such a good song. We talked a lot about mental health and how meaningful the words can be to each person. It is such an amazing thing to do to feel the community in the choir and feel love.
