the beauty of stillness: slow living in the countryside (with Jack Edwards)

[@dakotawarren]

Hello! For everybody asking, the radio station we were listening to was BBC in Scotland - we don’t know anything about what program etc because we just turned it on to that (we didn’t have our phones or internet) xx

[@billiefan1730]

Hey I love Ur videos so much:) U inspire me always to create and read :))

[@LuluST-nc6us]

Perfect, I was just gonna ask that. Also what collection was the poem on marriage in? That was a beautiful poem

[@romanticchaos1552]

@@LuluST-nc6us it's from Haruko/love poems by June Jordan!

[@eu_balaena]

I'm pretty sure it's the voice of Chris Power and his podcast is called Open Book. he talked about dark academia in the episode he interviewed R.F. Kuang. (and he recently talked to Bret Easton Ellis).

[@a1e2-c1n]

when you laid down on the grass and jack laughed and came over to join you 😭 true friendship

[@shannonwalton-lg5pn]

This is honestly some of the most beautiful content I have ever had the privilege to witness. Thank you

[@mreads_7]

4:19 This shot in particular, where Jack came to lie down beside Dakota, felt like something straight out of a movie. A scene people write poems about. It teared me up, this whole video is so beautiful and nostalgic. I love you two, your friendship radiates happiness and comfort through the screen

[@tsukkikeii5306]

This is so cinematic and beautiful... When she said - this makes me always cry :"] And Jack said, with the sweetest voice ever - tell me)

[@sophiaisabelle027]

Seems like spending time wandering around the countryside can give you a peace of mind for the most part. God bless them.

[@danielleculler1495]

there's something so brutally and simply human about this

[@jessdixon7240]

When night makes a weird sound of its own stillness, Like an inspired and desperate alchemist Staking his very life on some dark hope, Have I mixed awful talk and asking looks With my most innocent love, until strange tears, Uniting with those breathless kisses, made Such magic as compels the charmèd night To render up thy charge; Percy Shelly reminded me of this video

[@honeymoonavenue97]

Now THAT is fucking beautiful.

[@liliamuseum196]

I feel like this is what my heart needs. I loved those Heidi slash pride and prejudice vibes...this is clearly one of your most cathartic vlogs. It made my heart joyful

[@taliw7736]

Totally! I remember Heidi as a kid

[@liliamuseum196]

@@taliw7736 yeah im so nostalgic too!

[@alicedennis3314]

oh dakota this is my favourite video by far. so so pretty, and the friendship between you and jack is just so nostalgic for me. I recently moved to the city (melbourne) for uni, and so the views of the countryside are so gorgeous and homecoming like to me. also i gasped alongside you and jack at 'tiger by william blake' being read, im pretty sure it's one of my first memories of a poem that I loved and would ask my mum to find it for me constantly in our massive book of english poetry.

[@laurenchian]

this was cinema. your eye for poetry in landscapes & ability to capture the touches of beauty in a simple existence enraptures me. x

[@maya2805]

there is something endlessly romantic in this, the true love between you and the comfort of watching you is nothing short of captivating, endless magic

[@armyst_0797]

I screamed at the part where she started reading a excerpt from "the things we say in the dark " bcz I loveddd that book and this just made it even more beautiful 🦋💖💖

[@junebird29]

i am unbelievably glad that dakota and jack were able to experience the beauty that is the scottish countryside.

[@jamilla8588]

this whole video is so wonderfully shot and edited , ive never wanted to be somewhere more

[@xevelio]

idk why im crying but this is a 10/10 fav vid on the internet. thank u

[@honeymoonavenue97]

You have the dreamiest videos I fucking love you dude. Jack, also, gives me very positive energy all the time. You two are very wonderful influences on people. I love to write and sing with all my heart, & I’ll always be a fan.

[@kayleighpoulter1023]

'Normalise laying on a hard wooden floor' was delightful, sometimes it's just floor time

[@RoundSeal]

This is the sort of thing that, I think, everyone needs from time to time. It nourishes the soul in a way that other things just can't. Spending slow days with a friend, in quiet and words. Also, that egg-yolk sun at the end is just lovely. 💛

[@izzydavie5505]

I am astounded at how Jack is always on holiday

[@ipshitajee]

This looks like a good short film about life , literature and friendship. And I love it 🥺 This and Heartstopper are going to be my comfort watch.

[@12msrbfua]

Sometimes I am struck by the intense desire to have someone of whom I can call my kindred spirit. Someone who shares the same values and dreams and pastimes as I. This makes me realize how much I wish I had someone who could witness my presence and whose presence I could serve as a witness for as well. Someone whose soul is as inextricably intertwined with mine, someone who I can trust wholeheartedly without fearing their anticipated flight. Of course, I still live when I am alone, but there is something magical in experiencing life with a friend.

[@jordanelisehall]

Words really can't describe how joyful this video made me. My soul yearns to live a life like this. Running in open fields, giggling by the fire, making little cute creatures out of fruit....just living in the moment. I truly believe this is how we were created to exist.

[@enya5120]

I'm in love with how this video just portrayed the beautiful simplicity in human joy.

[@LaurMedley]

this video is just GORGEOUS.

[@leilynguyen9160]

this video seemed to spark a light of inspiration that i wasn't aware still had fuel. thank you

[@dandelionsedyn]

i believe i just found the type of comfort i have been searching for my entire life

[@Odilevee]

I was feeling truly uninspired lately and today I woke up in such a cheerful mood, and seeing ur video is a perfect start for new ideas and week, thanku lady Dakota😻

[@mi-i-zori]

I know I’m late, but this is such life goals… The scenery, the friendship, the laughter, the shots, the poetry… This video is a piece of art, made with love and passion, and it’s beautiful. Do you still have that radio channel ? I would love to spend my time listening to people read such nice poetry like that

[@camillac7928]

i cannot describe how happy this made me feel

[@LuluST-nc6us]

Wow how beautiful was that! Reading stunnig literature to one another by the fireplace seems like peak happiness

[@mrmatthewpennington]

Hey Dakota. This video is magical, so well put together! We had an ace time hanging out with you & Jack foraging the hills and experiencing the tropical flavours of winter! Good luck with writing book number two! Can’t wait to read it ❤

[@dolla9539]

Hello, Dakota! I've always had a deeper conection to the country side because half of my family lives there and I remember being a child and telling my dad that I also want to lived there because it was so much better than the city to me. This was such a nice video. Cozy and natural. Due to some struggles I had last year I've been feeling very alone, but this made me feel less alone you know. This is one of my comfort videos now. Thank you

[@anumeghabhowmick3063]

the more i listen to dakota read poetry, the more resemblance i find between her and sylvia plath

[@douloureux.]

Why?

[@anumeghabhowmick3063]

@@douloureux. i recommend listening to sylvia plath's reading of her poem daddy, you'll get a clearer sense of what I mean to say. i think it's the voice modulations that they share as well as it's the tone of their voice as they express certain words.
