Sick of Losing Soulmates - explanation, tutorial and karaoke!

[@evan]

[@sarah-tw7eh]

[@dipshikachand1487]

LITERAL FRIENDSHIP GOALS

[@bluejadeblue]

Oml You fucking spoon. I love you so much Evan. 😂

[@alexfido2935]

+Evan Edinger brilliant.

[@jasminetea6935]

You spork

[@nessiejs7492]

"i can finally see you're as fucked up as first fret" love the lyrics

[@doddleoddle]

+Inés J.S. lol

[@thecenticorn]

This line speaks to me on such a deep level, and i don't really know why...

[@AnaMarijaSaric]

Hahhaha loved that 6:15

[@Rosa-kf2ik]

"I can finally see, you're as fucked up as me"****

[@moikeyway7970]

ItsRosaaa no at 6:15 that's what Dodie sings

[@FrancescaGeorgiou]

If you could just stop being phenomenal because you're making the rest of us look TERRIBLE thank you xo

[@imiburrell5694]

Ahahaha so true 😂

[@doddleoddle]

+Francesca Georgiou babeeeeeEEEE

[@oh_itsDTheo]

This lyric analysis makes me realise how well written this song is...

[@GretaZewe]

If you're looking to play this on ukulele, you can use the C and A string, and just subtract one fret from everything in the guitar tutorial. It's in a different key, but it works :) so for example, the verse would be frets 4, 6, 1, 2 all on the C string.

[@harley.j.indigo]

thank you I love you

[@gerbcor3602]

THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@IrisManning]

Wooo! I already loved playing this on guitar, and now that I've got a ukulele...thank you!!!

[@sharonnn.zeller]

does it work the same on bass?

[@GretaZewe]

+Artistoid. bass would be the same as guitar so just follow dodies tutorial

[@sruthidinesh3173]

'recently come out' GIVIN ME A HEART ATTACK

[@monicachang3054]

haha well she is bi

[@lauraferreira4333]

She did come out tho

[@cyborgsaiko]

+Laura Ferreira WHEN!?? woa cant believe i missed out

[@cyborgsaiko]

+Laura Ferreira oh nvm, just realised that i already knew

[@quinintheclouds]

lol I'm glad you're okay XD

[@jamesclark4230]

Dodie, what you do with TWO STRINGS breaks my heart then puts it back together, your an amazingly talented lady! Shine On You Crazy Diamond!

[@ShawtyBeleiber]

Was that a Pink Floyd pun

[@doddlevloggle]

Pink floyd pink floyd

[@jamesclark4230]

Maybe that pun has Echoes? Anybody?

[@IzzyInkpen]

BOY does playing this give you major hand cramp, or that just me? Anyway it was really lovely hearing your explanation, and it just increased my appreciation of the lyrics because they don't explain themselves, if that makes sense? Like "super-glued human of proof" doesn't make a lot of sense to anyone else but it does to you and that's so important.

[@aqaoog2089]

+Izzy Inkpen Agree, i always love that in a song. When you hear a phrase you don't totally get, but knowing it has some sort of meaning to the writer makes it special.

[@ksneksj72828]

+Izzy Inkpen i feel like if you /do/ understand what she means with the lyrics thats even more fascinating, since it means you can probs relate to it

[@doddleoddle]

+Izzy Inkpen yes omg I'm sorry about the hand cramp! it's why i never play guitar live cause I suck and ahhh thank you! Yeah I love it when people explain personal lyrics!

[@IzzyInkpen]

+liz ;; yes that's very true, but a certain amount of mystery (e.g. twenty one pilots) keeps it interesting I think, as it leaves it open to interpretation

[@ksneksj72828]

Izzy Inkpen i agree totally, i love music that makes you think :)

[@daisychainsaw]

I can't stop replaying the first part 😂 "B to the O to the U to the N to the C to the E WAIT, I CAN'T DANCE!" "We'll show you how to bounce!" ilysm dodes.

[@Sunidhi2706]

i havent touched a guitar in my life and this makes me feel like i can already play it GET ME MAH GUITAR SOMEBODY

[@amanda-tm6ym]

same!! except i tried but got frustrated because my guitar is SUPER out of tune and the strumming pattern was too difficult for me to catch on to 😂😂

[@Popopatop]

the strumming pattern omg yes!!

[@heather9513]

+Mandi im not sure if youre being sarcastic or not help i cannot social

[@amanda-tm6ym]

Heather no, i was actually just frustrated with the strumming pattern lol

[@mimmapierrot]

it's actually pretty hard when you first learn it especially the fast part, but then after a few tries it gets super easy. but then again, i don't do much finger picking so it'd probs be easier for someone with more experience

[@ThePhoebeCupcakes]

The song actually makes me think of my older brother and how much we grow apart and back together but he is always there for me when I am definitely a broken teen. He's been through so much and us growing up has definitely made me realise that he is deeper than I can ever know, and that we all have cracks that run deeper than anyone else can understand. He's my rock and this just makes me cry thinking of him and how lovely he is. He's a good egg.

[@doddleoddle]

+Phoebe Cupcakes !!!

[@weepingwillow314]

+Joanna Destiny same tho but i think for me its also cause of age gaps

[@ultimatephangirleden7391]

+Scarahlicious I'm eleven and my brother's 20. we used to be close but then he realised the age gap and drifted away. it's sad.

[@emiliawilson4378]

Phoebe Lawrence Oh God you guys are lovely. I hope you're always there for each other ❤❤

[@amanda-tm6ym]

EVERYONE CONFUSED BY THE STRUMMING/PLUCKING PATTERNS: a really good friend of mine actually knows how to play SOLS, so i asked her to explain it. here's what she said: (btw, what she refers to as the 6th string is what dodie refers to as the 1st, and the 4th = 3rd) you hit the 6th string once, then the 4th, then the 6th again, but then when you go back to the 4th string, you hit it twice. (this would make that 13-133) and you slide you finger on the 6th string from the fifth fret, then to the seventh, then to second and third. that's through the verses. then, at the pre-chorus (the 'what the hell would i be --), you just hit the 6th string and the 4th string for two turns (13-13) before sliding from the seventh fret to fifth, then to ninth, and you repeat that sequence twice. then for the chorus, it goes the same as the verses except, after the seventh fret, you slide to the sixth and then to first and back to fifth. i know, my girl's a gift. i havent tried this yet, but i have no reason to believe it's wrong 😂i hope this helps some of you!

[@videonocturnal152]

Mandi I get the verses strumming but u kinda confused me on the pre-chores strumming, can u please explain that part to me ?

[@bridgettebeach6256]

okay so what i gathered was from dodies explaination is: firts string, third string, first, third, third and then move frets, same strumming. then you do just two of each so first, first, third, third, and then you move frets.

[@awkwrdash]

this is also really helpful. the many words made me overwhelmed without even reading them, so I read this then the long when as conformation. Thanks you both!!

[@melmel1071]

Mandi thank you so much😂. I acc needed this😆❤️

[@boryanatraycheva2618]

Thank you so so much, I couldn't figure it out xx

I loved it! 😁💖 What is she saying the name of the song is though? 😂

[@maisiesayers5371]

Dodie, you probably don't remember me. But a long while ago, I was in a very dark place, and you called me and you helped me. And I feel so proud of you for everything this song stands for and everything it means to you and being able to talk about your experiences means so much to every one else. I'm a lot better than I used to be and I'm so grateful to you among huge groups of others who came together for me at that time and I can't thank you all enough. I hope you're okay lovely. xx

[@valerievaz737]

i cried a lil during the explanation tbh, it breaks my heart to know that some awful person put you through an abusive relationship

[@fragilendfrantic]

THIS IS ME RIGHT NOW. Losing friends whom were MY BEST FRIENDS

[@FatPanda2001]

+Peyton Rose geez i feel you! I started off the year with 5 best friends and now i just have one, and they rest prove to not be such best friends. Hang in there stranger!!!!

[@aysieavery]

same here it sucks

[@maxisboringrock1705]

+Peyton Rose Yeah me too... :/

[@leezyloo]

Me too... I don’t have any friends anymore and now I’m all alone.

I see you everywhere

[@claraboe2755]

lil late but just play it on the g and a string instead of only the g string. like that you dont have to move your left hand as much

[@molliebeth1109]

I remember loving this song when it came out. I never knew what would happen to me, just 4 short years later. Reflecting on this abusive relationship, I've come back round to this song, and it's never hit me harder. Thank the universe for friends that open our eyes because I wouldn't be healing if it hadn't been for them. Anyway, my point of commenting is that your music has always been there for me, whether I really truly related to it or not. I appreciate what you do, dodie. Please never stop sharing with us. You mean so much to so many people.

[@alexrose6471]

I'm so happy we got a little explanation of the lyrics! I was so curious and holy damn can I relate to being so so fed up with losing people close to you. I'm such a clingy friend, I borderline refuse to let people go and it's pretty fucking sad actually. I once kept sending someone birthday and christmas cards and presents for three years with nothing in return when they used to be one of my BEST friends until I finally gave up. :( Also wow do I want to cover this but I no longer own a guitar

[@RebeccaCoco]

I always find it interesting to find the meaning and explanation behind songs that people write

[@tomorrow1wb]

Who else replayed the first 7 seconds like... 10 times? Lol

[@liliandobson5428]

Hadassah Rivera me!!!! It's so adorable, funny, and quirky

[@graciekinsey2735]

But do you get the reference ??

[@tomorrow1wb]

Yeah! Demi ^-^

[@nataliearaya7709]

Thanks for sharing this Dodie, I really appreciate when you do this kind of things, explain the lyrics, what? nobody does that, nobody cares, but you do and that inspires me so much, I'm here, attempting to be musician too, and being able to know your creative process of this song means a lot to me. Thanks Dodie, and I don't mean this in the "I love you Dodie I'm your number one fan" way, just in the "I really appreciate your work and your time for doing this" way.

[@IrisManning]

Sometimes I just listen to the karaoke...over and over...and then I go and play the song on my guitar. LOOOVE IT SO MUCH ;-;

[@haveeanicedayy]

B is for Bouncing O is for Opportunity U is for Unity and N is for Nutrition C is for Community and E is for Everybody jonas brothers 4 lyfe

[@doddleoddle]

+haveanicemey AH DO THE BOUNCE NOW

[@1Pineapple]

Those are not lyrics on one of their songs, is it?! 😂

[@nallanw4329]

this song gives me shivers, especially with the lil clash bit when it goes from the 7th fret to the 6th then to the 1st omg omg omg

[@justinbiebernews8211]

i dont even care if i know nothing about music, listening/watching you play the guitar and be passionated about something is beautiful!

[@FreyaQuirksALot]

OH MY GOD BOUNCE! I didn't know anyone else knew about that song! Dodie you're my Demi soulmate, spend the rest of your life with me!

[@xHoneyLoverx]

I saw the song in a completely different way, I saw it as someone who had lost so many people in the past that they have now found someone who they want to hold on to because they are scared of losing any more people.

[@Willia]

The final part is so relaxing though, I love this music so much

[@Safamatar95]

Doddie, I also call those extremely close friends as soul mates. Because they can't be just friends. Like the word is not enough to contain what we had experienced together. But of course the usual understanding is romantic. I was so glad to know someone else uses this term and truly understands it platonically other than me. You are lovely

[@lexim6869]

You should make tutorials more often because you make it much easier and I love your songs so much

[@keelywilliams9855]

the karaoke at the end was so peaceful, I was doing my homework while listening to this and it's honestly the best thing ever

[@G.O.Watching]

know this seems strange coming from a stranger but when I watch your videos I feel slightly less alone.

[@mallgoff]

This song is even more relatable than I even began to imagine. I'm sorry, because I know how hard it is to feel better after all that. Thank you for such an amazing song, Dodie!

[@SophieXo]

YOU DON'T KNOW HOW HAPPY I WAS TO SEE THIS BECAUSE ITS SUCH A BEAUTIFUL SONG OMG

[@CarliBABE16]

I don't know what it is about this song, Dodie. It just gets me every single time I listen to it, and believe me have listened to it so many times now i've lost count. It is definitely my favorite piece of work you have ever done and I'm so proud of you for it.

[@cnd4484]

"I've recently come out- STOP IT!" Me DODIE WAIT AM I MISSING SOMETHING OR?!?! "I've recently come out of a bad-" OH. OK. NEVER MIND.

[@dasiasaur]

Yeah, she's bi but she thinks that she will end up with a male, she made a video about it a couple years ago

[@cnd4484]

I know. I was watching at like 3 AM so my brain wasn't functioning.

[@dasiasaur]

i said exactly what she said in her sexuality video but that is true as well

[@milawells5968]

Knowing what you originally meant the song to be about, it resonates with me so much more. I have also lost all of my best friends in the past, and I have come close to losing the guy I'm closest with now. It's such a horrible feeling. This song means so much to me.

[@bncty]

5, 7, 2, 3 frets for verse. 7, 5, 9, 2, 3 frets chorus. 2, 3, 5, 7, 6, 1, 5 chorus/bridge ? (I think that's how it goes)

THANK YOU YOU BEAUTIFUL PERSON GOD BLESS

[@theinternet8501]

Thank you thank you thank you!! I learned the song wayyyy easier

[@DobbysSock]

now that you've explained the song, it makes so much more sense!! and I relate to it so much, I'm crap at keeping friends and I've just lost a 'soul mate' and now I will listen to the song all the time and cry

[@evemiriam]

wow i love this electronic-y version it's kinda like all deeep v nice (kinda reminds me of Daughter's sound???)

[@PlutonianPriestess]

eve miriam it DOES!!!! omg

[@blackbird-ep9hz]

Yes!! Kind of like ‘youth’

[@OfficialMimsy]

When you said "abusive relationship" and "manipulative" I was like: "Imma find him and slap him"

[@Mads-zo1ic]

I know this is far too relevant to the eighth line, but it really is quite comforting to know that you went through an almost identical relationship and how much better you've been without him, thankyou 😊

[@erinthomas8199]

This made it sooo much more easy to learn , whenever I searched for this song on guitar apps it would give really weird chords but this made it so simple to play ❤️ so annoying that I only just found this video😂😂👍🏼love you xx

[@emilylw]

I HAD MY VOLUME UP REALLY HIGH AND YOUR "BYE"" AT THE END KILLED MY EARS

[@b3An404]

bruhhh this plucking thing has me shook I can't dooo itttt XD

[@Rosa-kf2ik]

Lol,same I can only do it very fast not the pace she did it

[@nins9426]

Same but I eventually got the hang of it

[@hannahwhitehead864]

Wow love this song, it's so rare of songwriters to explain their songs, it's a very brave thing to do especially when it's something so personal :)

[@eh5601]

I think this is a reason to actually pick up my guitar and tune it

[@definitely.natasha]

you never lose friends. you just realize who your true ones are. ❤

[@13McLg]

I love the song so much, now that I know a little more about the back story. I spent like two years in an emotionally abusive relationship. I lost all of my childhood friends because of this relationship. I'm still trying to make new friends, but so far I'm still pretty alone. I'm kind of scared of people bc my ex used to tell me over and over how everyone I knew just wanted to use me for their own amusement and I believed him. It's been more than a year since I broke up with him, and I'm still picking up the pieces of my self esteem.

[@huntersnell7266]

Now that I know what it's actually about, I'm legit about to cry. The song has a whole new meaning to me, and it reflects so much of a situation I've been in for a while.

[@elizabethquach7976]

Can u do a tutorial on your original song down??!?!?!?

[@ellag6545]

Omg yaaaas

[@Robin-dv3qo]

YES PLEASE! I NEED THIS!

[@songsbytheo]

+Elizabeth Qauc The chords are basically intro: G, Gaug verse/chorus: G, Em, Gaug, G (except the top string is on the first fret, C# idk what to call it), C, Cm, G the bridge and chorus are essentially those chords... I hope that helped

[@elizabethquach7976]

+Kayla Austin Oh yea is there a piano version? I don't know how to play guitar or the other thing

[@songsbytheo]

Elizabeth Qauc You might be able to just play those chords on the piano! A Gaug chord is just G, B, D# and then the weird chord would be G, C#, B.

[@rachelm1734]

When you were explaining your whole situation, it sounded almost exactly like mine. I was in an abusive/manipulative relationship for about 2 years, and now I have a best friend who I dated before but we're still really great friends and I don't want to lose her. It's kinda weird how your situation is almost exactly like mine and now I'm gonna want to listen to this song all the time because it actually relates to my life. Thank you for writing this song and explaining it :)

[@lucia-wq3qq]

The song actually helped me with my sexuality...

[@suminyoon5120]

oh im happy that the way i interpreted "superglued human of proof" was the way you intended it to be. the song so reminds me of a such person in my life.

[@d.c.destiny]

Dodie: I don’t know what that was Me: It was adorable, that’s what that was

[@marymousavizadeh876]

I cannot play guitar to save my life, but I picked this up one day and now I can actually (sort of) play it! your instructions were very simple and easy to follow, thanks dodie!

[@gingeranderson1372]

5:47 You should make a song where the lyrics are the instructions on how to play it. Much creative.

[@jesslee3847]

I've just gone through a similar experience. My ex was controlling and isolated me from all my friends. Was with her for 4 years. Never felt so alone. But can only see it clearly now that I'm out of it. Thankfully ny friends have all welcomed me back. I love this song. Been playing it all day because the girl i was newly vibing with just ubruptly ended things with me because she wasn't developing feelings for me. Which felt like a punch in the chest. But this song has really helped me. And it helps to hear that other people have gone through similar experiences. I'm so happy that I stumbled upon your channel. Keep it up. X

[@ctyoung16]

What is the tin in the "does exactly what it says on the tin" line? I might just be missing something obvious, but I have no idea.

[@doddlevloggle]

"We both know a break does exactly what it says on the tin" if someone says maybe we should try a break, in terms of like, not seeing or talking to each other, the word break will mean something literally; the friendship will break

[@ctyoung16]

+doddlevloggle thanks :)

[@kikoonthemove]

I took that line as what it says on warning labels. "If the seal is broken please do not purchase" idk I'm weird and like metaphors.

[@melzymoomin888]

+Nope Nopity Nope Nope A bit off-topic but sometimes I see a label on jar lids saying something along the lines of "This button may be depressed." and my mind immediately goes "Oh no! :(" and jumps to feeling sorry for it... Even though I KNOW that's not what it means.

[@jess_hinz]

+ctyoung16 it's just a common expression to say that it does the obvious; it does exactly what the metaphorical label says

[@boringghoul]

this is one of those songs where i think about every time i've played pretty much this exact guitar part, especially of the verse, when warming up and never made anything out of it, and this is it!! it sounds so good!! i love your music dodie

[@arthurazs]

5:16 that voice so good

[@Celizala]

So now you've released the explanation of the song it turns out it's exactly what I expected it to be about and also exactly what I am also going through... you've captured the feeling beautifully Dodie and its both even more beautiful and even more painful to listen to now that I know for sure what it's about. I hope everything works out okay for you and that you keep your friend, and when things get difficult that you find a way to keep your head up high because you're a beautiful person and you deserve to be happy. Much love xx

[@carinenatour9420]

I LOVE THAT OF ALL THINGS YOU SUNG BOUNCE

[@maracimpean5722]

Believe it or not, I had no idea how to hold a guitar beforehand and in 20 minutes I managed to learn the whole song and lyrics. Great job, Dodie!

[@franisaunicorn]

CAN YOU DO EVERYONE A FAVOUR AND MAKE AN EP OR AN ALBUM OR SOMETHING PLEASE PLEASE. THANK YOU (i love you)

[@sammieqt_]

to be honest... your intended meaning was exactly what it said to me. ive been there, losing best friends. all too much for being only 17, i think! the song is still wonderful, but now i can play it :) thanks dodie!

[@Bullitain]

You would think after all this time you might of discovered the mute button on the side of your iPhone Dodie ;)

[@bellawatts6775]

+Bullitain hahaha

[@mollywear8339]

BUT WHAT IF SHES TRYING TO MAKE AN APPLE SYMPHONY

[@Bullitain]

Molsasaurus ayyyyyyyyyyy ;)

[@elizabethf396]

I just discovered this song and it made me cry thinking about my friend who helped me through a lot of mental health stuff and who I eventually dated for a while, we're not together anymore and don't really talk, we've both found people who are much better for us in terms of a partner, but the song just reminded me of how I thought we would always be together and now looking back it seems so silly and childish because we were so young, yet everything they helped me through in my life, I'll always be grateful for that and a part of my heart will always have love for them

[@IsmayRose]

Wait! I know who it is, damn. I thought he was better than that, hm anyway, I hope you know that you deserve better than him Dodie, we all love you a lot. Thank you for this x

[@doddlevloggle]

I think you're missing the point of the song! I don't know! :")

[@demonprince108]

+doddlevloggle thank you for the video on the explanation i got the meaning of the song and had the exact same situation that you did, i would love to try this out on a bass guitar

[@IsmayRose]

Omg you replied to me ah!! I know the point of the song and it's not about him but haha I was just having a realisation moment :")

[@psychicchopshopangel8304]

i feel as if i'm losing one of my best friends who has been through hell and back with my lately and this song is just so perfect for the scenario and everything i've literally put it on repeat love you dodie x

[@antoniahendriks424]

I just sat through the karaoke for a couple of bars mesmerised before realising that I had missed my queue to start singing. Whoops

[@slappedkeyboard5146]

im relating to dodie so much, me and my boyfriend broke up last night and we've been together for almost two years and he was controlling and i lost so many friends because he also convinced me that my friend where evil snd bad friends...i asked him if we could have a brake but he said no and he basically said "its all or nothing" so i had to go for nothing and it broke me and im still sad about it. I chose to brake up with him while i was out with my closest friends and i had just had enough. They all hugged me and where (still are) so supportive and i love them so much and i dont want to lose them again x they probably wont read this but im so happy that they have helped me so much, thankyou everyone

WHEN THAT MESSENGER APP SOUNDED I LITERALLY THOUGHT IT WAS MINE #binaural

[@courtneyward4137]

This song makes me cry. I think it's in a good way though, I find crying relatively therapeutic and cleansing in a way. It reminds me of previous relationships I've had; I think I need to get that hurt out of my system and really appreciate the ones I have now. Thank you for allowing the song to wash over me. It's so beautiful, just like you

[@jessicaschneider1312]

you are such a wonderful person. You're just beautiful on the inside and outside.

[@althealumanog279]

Jesus, Dodie. You are the most perfect human being. You are just the most caring, loving, sweetest, goodest (is that even a word?) person I have ever (not in real life) known. I can't listen to your songs without getting emotional af and without going 'daaw' in my head. I'm literally obsessed. I guess you kind of changed my life. I feel like a better person just being able to play this song (more or less). Okay, fine. Enough. Just keep in mind that you are so, so loved.

Hi Dodie! I hope you're doing well! I know you probably won't read this and I'm sure you've gotten a bunch of similar comments but you have truly influenced and changed a life. I've struggled with bipolar depression for the last 4 years and when you're in such a slump you learn to appreciate small things. This channel's videos helped me bunches! I even picked up the guitar and self taught myself because of you! Music has helped me get through little rough patches and that choosing music as something to aide my depression was inspired by you. Not only are you talented, but you're also genuine which is difficult to find among youtubers. Never lose that quality! Thank you for being the amazing human being you are, I hope you are doing lovely!

[@thealph1191]

:0 This sing actually sounds waaaaaay more complicated than it actually is.. :) I think I watched this solely because I love watching Dodie :D and how she explains stuff on guitar :'D .. Sooooo much funnn :D ... Also the song song hit me deep , I feet the exact same way Dodie Explained it, Like seriously life is not cool sometimes.. I just found a "soulmate" and then I was moved to another country :( we still keep up , but everyday I wonder how long can we keep it going.. and I don't know what to do. It's like throw away this opportunity I've got and go home. or throw her away... it literally eats me up inside. :/

[@mysuperpony7317]

I'm probably the only person who sees it this way. But I recently lost my horse to a sickness, then when I was ready to find a new one to love, she got taken away from me last week and moved away. I found this song a few days ago and boy can I relate. love it tho dodie! it's great😊

[@Grace-os3jl]

Ride to Fly i'm so sorry to hear that. how are things now, if you don't mind me asking?

[@mysuperpony7317]

Sharon's Grace things are great! I miss him of course but after taking some time off I got a new horse and he's awesome. I mean everything is different without my boy but I'm glad to say I've continued strong!

[@tiambermitchell8965]

can you make a tutorial for it on ukulele

[@tori3025]

You've just got to tune it down and play the 5,7,2,3 bits on the bottom string and use the 1st string as your base string (dgce tuning rather than gcea) the strings plucked on the guitar for this song are are d and e.

[@tori3025]

Sorry it's actually dgbe

[@tiambermitchell8965]

Tori Sunshine thanks!!

[@NereaMurillet]

I've been there too (not that he was an abuser but i was not comfortable anymore, and we broke up recently. and now I can understand why your recent song hit me that hard. Thank you for letting us (in any way) having that person you know it's so important to get out from that hole. Thank you.

[@willthewiise]

0:01 DID YOU JUST

[@phandomoftheopera9664]

I took it as best friends, I've lost many best friends and it hurts me because I always felt like I wasn't capable of having a strong friendship but yes Dodie I'm done too, it's ok! This song was very relatable and helpful
