OH MY GOSHHHH THIS IS SO INTERESTING TO WATCH IM ONLY IN THE FIRST BIT BUT I HAD TO COMMENT

[@doddleoddle]

WATCHING U BREAK AT SHE IS ENDING ME OMG

[@doddleoddle]

“This is worse than a date song” rip this is so fun

[@doddleoddle]

NOOOOO DONT CRY NOOOOOOOOO

[@moik4037]

Oh wow hi, I'm glad you saw this

[@doddleoddle]

oh my gosh watching you cry at secret for the mad is making me cry 😢 it was so amazing to watch you dissect it musically and you absolutely nailed it because I can see you just get it

[@susiegreeno8186]

Bill: *feeling the hurt to she* Dodie stans: First time huh?

[@theodorezachariah289]

frrr

[@_.Mimzie._]

Honestly

[@raizatheartist9592]

“It almost feels like a dream” IS THE BEST WAY TO DESCRIBE DODIE’S VOICE IT IS ALWAYS SO ACCURATE

[@bubblebathskies]

this feels especially accurate considering how she's talked about her experience of derealisation in a similar way

[@raizatheartist9592]

Louise Diment OMG

[@Strawberrypersonoffixial]

That's hilarious because she dissociates. (I'm not making fun of her. I dissociate too.)

[@Strawberrypersonoffixial]

@@bubblebathskies i just said that too. Haha.

[@rebekahcook8548]

She is about dodie being in love with a straight girl. She is a bi queen. It was the first WLW (women love women) media I ever came across. Her first version of this song was posted like back in 2015. I heard it in probably 2017. Dodie literally saved my life and brought me out of a bad numbness. I have her book and she included some journal entries from when she was younger. I searched for one word. "She" this is so I can get it tattooed on my left wrist.

[@eleanorlamb1838]

She was the first wlw artist I came across too and her music and thoughts really changed my view of the world and has opened me up to so much :)

[@lyric6719]

saaame she was the first person i had ever seen that was bi!!

[@sydbricker4413]

Same. She helped me realize that its its ok for me to be queer and start accepting myself. I used to play it when I was alone and sob

[@potato.pancake]

oh i felt this - i was around 10 or 11 (aka around 2015 or 2016) when i first heard she and oh wow did it hit me HARD. music is wild to me because i connect a lot of my personal emotions and experiences to what i listen to, and to an even higher degree when i find a song that accurately speaks to how i’m feeling in that moment. so listening to certain songs reminds me of the place i was emotionally at the time where i discovered that song... she is one of them. hearing she reminds me of where i was at that age, and how i was discovering myself and my own identity (including but also extending outside of sexuality). it hurts even more because i have old recordings of me singing she (and although they make me cringe because w o w i was off-key) it’s so painfully wholesome to see how far i’ve come. idk i just wanted to say that. also spoiler alert i thought i was pan bc i was like “yeah i feel equally attracted to all people idk i don’t really care” but GUESS WHAT i’m aroace and i was just very led astray bc im cupioromantic with a preference for girls so y e a h turns out i’m not technically wlw at all

[@potato.pancake]

lmao tl;dr she (song lol) had a huge impact on me

[@vaedrizzy971]

Dodie's voice is literally just a dreamy wonderland coated in just the right amount of honey 💕

[@linguiniperuano]

Congrats, you made me hungry xD

[@layniemackenzie4198]

“That was so heartbreaking...but so lovely too” is a good description of a large chunk of dodie’s songs

[@nowayitsmiku]

when he said “her voice is almost like a dream” like f’real tho i was listening to cavetown to sleep cuz his voice helps me sleep and spotify started playing the suggested track and i woke up to “if i’m being honest” and i was like “yo am i even awake”

[@Hannah-dd6bo]

this made me cackle aha

[@lynnseybaughman7787]

Falling asleep to cavetown hits so different man

[@Thecrowsnesttrinkets]

I would 100% recommended “guiltless”, “burned out”, “when”, “arms unfolding”, “rainbow” and “if I’m being honest” all by dodie Tessa Violet: “words ain’t enough”, “wishful drinking”, “bored” and “make me a robot”

[@IrisMobiel]

Taste! Bored, make me a robot and burned out are so applicable to quarantine

[@mattyspratt9906]

i love the dodie cover of make me a robot

[@tiliacordata7260]

Wishfull drinking is soooo good!

[@JBGirl117]

My personal experience with 6/10- I’ve been a fan of Dodie since 2015. Her songs always spoke to me and they got me through all of the difficult times in high school. Her description of anxiety and depression, what she was going through when she wrote 6/10, hit me so hard. When she first talked about it on youtube, she asked for fans to submit their own recordings of the lines: “Oh I’ll just call a taxi, I’ve gotta get up early tomorrow again” and “I know that you don’t want me here” I submitted my recordings, and forgot about it. Flash forward to my second year of college. I was living in my first apartment, struggling with severe depression, frequent panic attacks, anxiety disorders, and trying to maintain the perfect grades I’d gotten in high school so I wouldn’t let anyone down. STRESSED. I had pre-ordered Dodie’s new album and finally I got to play 6/10. And..... I heard myself, singing along with her, and tons of other voices. All people in pain, all people like me. Needless to say, I broke down a bit. That song means so much to me. I’m now a college graduate, and this past September I got to see Dodie in concert! I cried a lot, and when 6/10 started, the audience held up cards that read “10/10”. Lots of tears! I have that card on my wall now. ❤️

[@edenmendoza5696]

I still have my card too

[@rachelcasey1888]

I have mine as well ♥️

[@Harri_James]

If it makes you less sad dodie did stay friend with Sammy who she wrote Sick of Losing Soulmates about, in fact he directed the video. Also his tweet about it still makes me laugh 'Just a video I made with two of my exes for a song about me featuring my dad.' 😂

[@meaghandrum6050]

This came up in my recommended and I was just kinda like 'what do you mean *trying* to stan Dodie... literally everything about her is stan worthy' but then I actually watched it and realized it's a series

[@alisondices]

*DODIE SONG RECS* -"Ready Now" HAPPY SONG ALERT this one is soft and wholesome I promise -"rainbow" (on her second channel doddlevloggle I believe) PRIDE SONG woohoo go gay (or bi in this case) -"Boys Like You" choreography is SICK -"Arms Unfolding" so soft and gentle and sweet UGH -"Intertwined" if you have time please listen to the song and THEN watch the video after trust me it's not what you'd expect -"In the Middle" A NON-SAD BOP -"Guiltless" tears my heart up and awesome video -"Not What I Meant" just bops, good harmonies, I prefer the studio version though tbh -"Burned Out" sad but haunting -"Absolutely Smitten" trying to add all of the NOT SAD ones I can think of -"Party Tattoos" is sweet and slaps -"If I'm Being Honest" watch the live session one of my favorite instances of her voice just gOIng OFF -HER GOD IS A WOMAN COVER IS ALL THAT MATTERS IN THIS LIFE -"When" get ready to sob -"Human" cool video, super awesome song -"Would You Be So Kind?" a bop for sure *edit because I just saw another one in the comments I forgot* - “Dear Happy” feat. Thomas Sanders god this one’s beautiful and means so much to me tbh dodie means so much to me her music has helped me get through some really hard times and I'm so glad you like and appreciate her she deserves more attention and you're pretty great

[@rebeccaogden4583]

All BIG yes

YESSS these are such good recs!!!

[@magixshiz2543]

Oh my god, ready now is such a big one. Seriously has made me cry so much, but like, happy tears!!

[@theDNAs-pw8hg]

"It's so exhausting being me." "I choked on Chipotle rice today....worth it." Not even 30 secs in and I can already relate with this guy so much I wanna write a song about it😂

[@sunniejmh]

If you wrote this song I would listen to it

[@pandaluna0]

then write one! I wanted to run one on the middle of the video, and so I did. just came back >

[@ajbratley9082]

She is such a relatable song for me. Growing up bisexual I constantly had crushes on girls I knew would never like me in that way.

[@MeganShumway]

Dodie has a book called “Secrets for the Mad: obsessions, confessions, and life lessons”. I bought it my freshman year right after it came out and honestly dodie Clark has such an impact on my life and her songs and her book have helped me through so much. 💕

[@juliareste]

@spr!nkles! bro I'm so proud of dodie. like the fact that someone doesn't know she has a book but likes her just warms my heart. you're going to enjoy it so much

[@MeganShumway]

spr!nkles! It’s a great book! I just looked through it after a while and it’s really wonderful. I have a few passages highlighted because its really something I needed to hear when I got it. She talks about sexuality, body image, mental health, basic life skills, and her life and journey as a musician. It also has pages of lyrics to different songs! Its so good. You’ll love it.

[@luabeth7520]

Megan Shumway the audio book is also great! it’s read by dodie and she sings the songs in between chapters!

[@MeganShumway]

plasydity omgggg wait where do I find the audiobook???? Ahhh!!!

[@taliaricher710]

the entire time he was analyzing she i really wanted to scream ITS ABOUT FALLING FOR A STRAIGHT GIRL

[@gurocandii]

I’ve met dodie twice and she’s such a sweetheart honestly, I remember the first time me and some friends weren’t sure if we were supposed to queue (this was at a con) and we were looking over at her booth trying to figure it out and me and dodie made eye contact, she smiled and I looked away super nervous bc useless lesbian here but she came to the edge and asked if we needed help so we asked and she told us, then when we actually properly met her she remembered us and was just super sweet!! Dodie is such a great example of youtubers who make music rather than youtubers who make youtuber music you know what I mean? (Also I bought a shirt with a quote from She on it that first time we met & it’s still one of my faves like 4 or 5 years later) Edit: the backstreet boys reunion tour omg you’re a gg fan 😳😳 icon !!

[@thethirdbill]

this makes me so happy! (minus the useless part, don't say that about you please) also hell yeah thats a Grumps reference! I wore my Link name shirt and everything!

[@isobel6739]

@@thethirdbill I also caught the game grumps reference, love it!

[@felixtea]

also, I'm really happy you listened to dodie, specifically Sick Of Losing Soulmates, 6/10, and Secret for the mad. I've been listening to Dodie since I was in middle school and these were all songs that I listened to really frequently when I was upset or feeling depressed and scared. music has always just felt like proof that I'm able to get through whatever has been happening

[@carolinaremley1377]

An artist I have to recommend is Orla Gartland (who was actually one of dodie’s guitarists) a few of her best songs are New Friends, Why am I like this, I Go Crazy, and Did it to Myself. Those are just a few to pick from but she has a bunch of other amazing songs that you should really check out. Edit: another song I just found that is amazing and that I can relate to is her song “grey”

[@jackiecohern8254]

and Heavy, that song makes me feel heavy which means she’s good lol

[@laurelmcfarland7316]

I remember standing in the crowd of the Dodie concert I went to and just sobbing while my best friend held me when Secrets for the Mad came out, not because I was in the middle of it but because I knew I had finally gotten out, to where things were finally really making sense again. For so long i didn’t think I would make it to the point where I could say things made sense and where I wasn’t hurting every day, but in that moment I really felt that I had done it. And I looked around and everyone else was crying too because we had all made it. It was freeing and beautiful and one of the best nights of my life.

[@soren9041]

you could do a whole series about dodie’s songs cause they’re all so profound and meaningful ;;

[@mikefahringer9863]

For Monster and him cutting off his horn... I always took it as him kind of seeing in himself that, while the break up wasnt his fault entirely, maybe he needed to change himself to get to that happiness I wants. Like in the beginning he seemed a little disheveled and kind of the typical "lazy" (for lack of a better word) kind of style. Then after a few dates and reflection on himself he realizes that he needs to work on himself and make himself happy again. Then after he does that you can see a positive effect on his emotions and hes out with friends and he gives himself the confidence to, when he sees that she has moved on, that he could take back his own heart and be complete again.

After seeing Bill in tears after listening to a song, I sometimes wonder why I don't have the same deep emotional reaction. It sort of annoys me that I don't feel so overwhelmed and in love with a song as much as him. I'm 19 years and 5 months wondering if already my sensitivity have sort of been lost so quickly :/

[@apollinelrx9018]

We all have very different ways to deal with emotions, and ways to feel emotions. Some people are more empathic than others, feeling other people's emotions very easily, or are very in tune with a medium like music, which is the case for Bill. The fact that you don't feel as emotional as him in front of a song doesnt mean you dont have any sensibility, just that your sensibility is not triggered by music. Maybe you cry in front of movies, or video games, or books or maybe not. Maybe your sensibility is triggered by something you havent discovered yet.

[@morganrad1902]

@Anna Rose I can completely relate to that. There's been times I felt like I didn't have emotions for anything. My best friend cries over basically everything and I'm just here.... not feeling much at all

[@annarose932]

@@apollinelrx9018 I have cried a lot during sad movies, but I guess seeing Bill cry so much I sort of wish (as akward as it is) I could be as emotionally invested, as maybe because I am more critical of stuff and I am not as emotional as I was when I was at Primary school.

@@annarose932 i think if you relate to the words in the songs, it can bring out more emotion. personally i don't cry whilst listening to dodie's songs, and that doesn't mean there's anything wrong, nor does it mean i don't understand her message. it just means that we lead different lives, and are different people. there's nothing wrong with not being emotional about this in the slightest. everyone processes things differently, and this isn't something you need to compare yourself against. "comparison is the thief of joy."

[@aw9005]

Some people relate well to other peoples words and stories. I rarely cry at things in lyric but when I used to listen to piano more I would cry at the sad songs. It made me feel a lot more, got me inside my own thought and emotion instead of into someone elses. Maybe it makes me less empathetic or maybe I just can't focus on feeling when I'm listening to words and trying to interpret.

[@gracethome6959]

Man I've loved dodie for MANY years and getting to hear you discovering her music and react to them, seeing you fall apart at the same lines that get me every time, it's so. refreshing? relieving? It's a great video. Made me cry with you :')

[@martinachooffey1843]

i love watching your videos you get SO emotionally invested on like first listen and UGH it's so precious. love the video!

[@mayoconnor5077]

I don't know how but they found me??? I really like opening band and choke

[@ClosetDemon]

he already reacted to them

[@oakydokyart5939]

these videos are like sharing your favourite artists with a friend who actually listens and appreciates the music you love and then discussing the deeper meaning together, thank you man you are so open minded and good company through this isolation, i appreciate you very much 😊

[@larlymae5205]

Watching this was amazing! I’m crying. I’ve been a Dodie fan for years now but watching you discover it’s beauty... ugh! Thank you for this!

Might I recommend AJR? I really like: Karma, Don't throw out my legos, Bang, Sober up, 100 bad days, Netflix trip, and Finale. I would love to hear your take on the lyrics

[@theem4231]

Listening to Netflix trip is a must!

[@michllons]

you communicate your thoughts so beautifully and so eloquently it's really nice to listen to

[@ZeldaFanatic426]

This really is all of us when we listen to Dodie

[@abbyc9474]

5:27 we witnessed the oH THATS GAY moment 😂❤️

[@mini3mayhem]

So the first song I ever heard by Dodie is Absolutely Smitten, I just remembered her and looked at some of her newer stuff after watching the video and....wow. My god, Dodie, you have just gotten better and better at writing

[@angeliquenoelle7577]

I was so scared to watch this with no context being a long-time Dodie fan but ugh I'm so glad I did. I love both you and her now :)

[@sarah_0530]

Hey thank you for doing Dodie, I love her songs so much! Please listen to her again, if you do here are some ideas, in the middle ( more upbeat ) burnt out party tattoos human would you be so kind (more upbeat) guiltless boys like you if I'm being honest you I have a hole in my tooth (and my dentist are shut) ( more upbeat ) absolutely smitten ( more upbeat ) Everyone in the comments also have amazing suggestions but I couldn't get them in one comment.

[@td6913]

Your reaction was literally mine too. Subbed. Love a man who likes music I like and is comfy with emotion and is open with communication. I have an emotional bone for you

[@randomazoid]

This video brought me a level of happiness i didn't think possible in these times! Dodie is an artist I've followed for years and years and she has helped me through unimaginably hard times. This is the first video I've ever seen of yours and I instantly subscribed. Thank you for your thoughtful and heart-felt approach to trying something new. Great video, great people thank you!

[@courtneystewart8006]

I have loved Dodie for years and there are so many great songs about mental health. I would also suggest dear Happy, boys like you, guiltless, human, if I'm being honest, and awkward duet just for fun! Love your take on these and so many other artists. You are such a beautiful person who is such a positive and genuine space on KZbin. I really appreciate who you are and what you strive to do. I am a councilor for children and Dodie has been a great resource for so many of my kids who have depression or anxiety. You are both beautiful people who cut through the negativity of the internet. Thank you for all that you do.

[@matildahlias]

i know i've requested this before, but could you maybe do a trying to stan: lauv? he was featured in one of the songs in the latest bts video you did, and you seemed to really like his vocals, but on top of that, his own lyrics are SO GOOD!! when it comes to songs, the whole of his 'how i'm feeling' album is amazing, but a couple of songs i'd especially recommend are sad forever, billy, canada, for now, changes, julia and *modern loneliness*! (modern loneliness is one i would 100% want you to listen to!)

[@rebekahmcnerney2009]

Secret for the Mad really feels like a warm gentle hug on a cold winter day filled with sadness when you really just need to be held.

[@golbin2605]

this is so interesting to watch. i love your analysis of dodie's songs! i recommend: guiltless, boys like you, when, ALL of the alosia demos, arms unfolding, if i'm being honest, in the middle, you, intertwined

[@avanoelz]

Bill, you should react to waterparks!! some songs are: high definition crave never bloom again 11:11 turbulent and of course, I miss having sex but at least I don't want to die anymore

[@starlitcentaur]

agree!! + rare tantrum made in america

[@literaltrashcan6743]

YESSSS + No capes Lucky people Worst

[@richieordeanidc536]

YES PLEASE + watch what happens next & they all float

[@jacquelinefarrington3561]

I have a hole in my tooth is phenomenal. Its such a fun song that always makes me feel better

[@boddlecaps2316]

I’d love to see you do Ben Platt (like Rain, So Will I, In Case You Don’t Live Forever, Grow As We Go, Temporary Love) or All Time Low (like Therapy, Some Kind of Disaster, Kids In The Dark, Dear Maria Count Me In)

[@katie4799]

I love Dodie, her music is so calming and is the only thing I could listen to when I drove when I was having panic attacks from driving.

[@spideyversed]

bill: “we okay?” bill, 30 seconds later: “oh no....”

[@kaashi8408]

Dodie does this thing where she can make these short songs that stabs you where it hurts, but oddly enough its really comforting.

[@delbortz]

I think you should TTS Ben Platt! None of his Broadway stuff, but from the album sing to me instead. I recommend: - Ease my mind - Share your address - Older - Bad habit - Better - In case you don't live forever (really you could do any of his stuff though it's all so good!)

[@anaasosimulator]

Please react to mxmtoon and girl in red! Some songs- Mxmtoon: fever dream, feelings are fatal, seasonal depression, prom dress, my ted talk and blame game Girl in red: midnight love, summer depression, girls, i wanna be your girlfriend, dead girl in the pool, watch you sleep and I need to be alone. Love your videos

[@Toffen8909]

this video is so beautiful. Seeing you really appriciate the music made me so happy. Dodies music has helped me so much

[@ranjitsingh5877]

try to stan tess voilet? shes very similar to dodie ( and some of her songs are happy!) crush bad ideas haze i like the idea of you bored are all cool songs !

[@rowieowo]

I know I probably shouldn't keep commenting, but honestly, I'd felt very depressed lately, and have had thoughts that I don't want to have, but your videos have helped me, so thank you. So much. You've been helping me through several battles. To anyone who feels like giving up, please, think about the people who love and care for you, and the people around you. You are worth it, and you can get through. It's worth it. I promise. (sorry for commenting so much, haha, love ya Bill.)

[@juliestevenson3620]

please do the lumineers! they have amazing cinematic videos that are all connected, each album following the story of one person or family. all of their music is amazing, here are some of my favourites! -slow it down -cleopatra -my eyes -my cell -salt and the sea -sleep on the floor

[@Ms_Ria]

Bill: let's make bill sad Me: he's on to us
