"She" was the first dodie song I'd ever heard, it exemplified the feelings of being a queer girl and having feelings for a straight girl.

[@poppy8020]

Same, that song literally spoke to me and I just remember searching for this girl who sang it. Now I love dodie so much.

[@soupteeths]

absolutely, its also been a song I've listened to a lot recently as I've struggled with feelings for a close friend of mine, and whether or not i should say something in fear of losing her as even though she likes women she's never shown any sign of feeling that way towards me. (sorry for the vent, but I feel this is a place she wouldn't see it and people who may understand or be in similar situations will)

[@Alex-13134]

It was the first song I ever heard as well and it really spoke to me

[@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

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

[@Strawberrypersonoffixial]

@@bubblebathskies i just said that too. Haha.

[@manitaojha855]

my personal favorite dodie song is “if i’m being honest”, i think it’s one of her best and you should 100% listen to it. two of her newer songs are “boys like you” and “guiltless” which have a different vibe from her old stuff like “would you be so kind” and “absolutely smitten” which will leave you with a really happy feeling in your heart!! also “ready now” is a great song which is sorta another take on the situation that inspired sick of losing soulmates and is pretty happy. also “you” is such a slept on song even though it’s the title track of one of her eps and YOU should listen to it!! there’s a really fun song about a threesome called “in the middle” and some more sadder songs are “human”, “intertwined” (gah, i love her lyricism in this one), and “burned out”. here’s hoping you see this comment and react to all of these in the future bc i can totally see you loving them!!!! :)

[@textappeal8833]

[@kellyb6863]

Yes yes yes! And the live version of If I'm Being Honest is so amazing, I get chills every time.

[@stinky8007]

one of my fav songs is “She” bc of my gay ass...... he should react to more especially these songs

[@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

[@juliareste]

being a fan of dodie for 3 years, I've become kind of numb to how much these songs hurt the first time listening. like i vibe to she without even thinking about it. I think I appreciated watching someone discovering dodie more than I could dream of. it was like rediscovering her myself. I'm all of a sudden brought back to the first time I sobbed for an hour listening to "when" realizing I'm not alone. I just cried again listening to she. please do a part 2 for dodie. I think I need it for myself🖤🖤

[@gwinnellheald8592]

'when' hits so hard for me because it shifted meaning for me. It came out when I was 15 so the line "I'll never be sixteen again'" made me look forward to the fun times id have at 16. When I was 16 it was a reminder to enjoy it while it lasts. Now I'm 18 and it reminds me to try not to dwell on the past. It's definitely my favorite Dodie song. Helped me through a lot 💚 she really is amazing

[@madelynrose2929]

THIS

[@juliareste]

@@gwinnellheald8592 I've dealt with dissociation for a while. this means that I either look toward the future (always ask when) or look to the past (never be 16 again). it makes me feel like I'm mourning 16 when I'm actually 15 LMAO

[@anfisachern8570]

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.' 😂

[@threeisaparty_5944]

Okay so it’s not one of her official songs but she sang a song with Thomas Sanders called Dear Happy and, to this day, it is one of my favorite songs. It’s so sad but so hopeful. Anyway 10/10 would cry to it again

[@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”

Those are just a few to pick from but she has a bunch of other amazing songs that you should really check out.

What blows my mind is Dodie says pas de deux is one of her least favourite songs she's ever written. I love that song soooo muchhhh

[@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. ❤️

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?

[@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.

[@residentanchor]

I found Dodie when she did a song with Thomas Sanders called Dear Happy. It's a beautiful song and they both have lovely voices! I think you'd like Would You Be So Kind? since that's a song you missed. It's such a lovely song and the vibes her voice gives it is just wonderful.

[@Vieramansel]

Dear Happy will never not make me cry🥺

[@astrid3522]

I found her through dear happy as well!! I would give anything for that to be on Spotify 😭

[@thetwizzler8096]

Fun facts about the songs you listened to: -dodie gave the first sneak peak of Monster at one of her concerts and she explained to her audience how this was about that moment in an argument at the end of a relationship where you can literally start to see the person’s hate for you grow and you can see their perception of you completely change in their eyes. -I believe She was about her first experience falling in love with a girl and it was while she was a teen in school. -in 6/10, when the other people start harmonizing, those are actually her fans who she had submit their voices singing those lines over and over and she had them mixed with hers. -Secret for the Mad was written for a friend who reached out to her for help and was feeling very depressed and suicidal and dodie explains how she started thinking of all the stereotypes people tell you to try and calm yourself down from one of those episodes (open up a window, drink water, breathe in and out, etc.) and that’s where specifically the “little things, all the stereotypes, they’re gonna help you get through this one night” line comes from -Sick if Losing Soulmates was written about the struggles of remaining friends with someone after the relationship ends due to all the history there.

[@EphemeralGloom]

Dodie's songs really helped me come to terms with my sexuality and my mental health, especially since I wasn't getting much support from my peers or family. Also, if you want fun Dodie songs, Would you be so kind, Absolutely Smitten, and In the middle are some really good ones.

Hey, just to let you know Dodie has in the last been very open about her struggle with metal illness, depression,anxiety,derealisation and depersonalization. As of late she has been in a much better head space and is doing very well. I saw her on tour and she was amazing, brilliant vocals.

More fun dodie songs: -Boys like you -You -In the middle

[@maggie_1277]

I have seen dodie twice in concert and HONESTLY you saying she like held you felt like the concert. During "Secrets for the Mad" I was sobbing my eyes out and I was truly a wreck and girl in front of me who I never meet just hugged me for the whole song. I felt so loved then. Her music is so important to me, when I found it and even now. And songs have beautiful associations with them for me now, like "She" is me and my best friends song because of how important it is to us. I will never listen to that song and not think about her. Some upbeat songs are a lot of her first ep "Intertwined" and a song called "Ready Now" but I would recommend just all of her songs. I love her so much!!!

[@samuelhale7530]

when KZbin recommended me this video i was completely preparing myself to watch some rude man tear apart Dodie's music. instead i found a new channel to subscribe to. it's so nice to watch someone actually analyze the meanings instead of immediately hating it because it's not a genre or sound they would normally listen to, or shit on it for talking about deep personal emotions and subjects. 💛

[@kismetfolly4954]

i cannot recommend Sleeping at Last enough, here's some amazing songs -Saturn -Daughter -Uneven Odds -Anger -sorrow -Two -Eight -Six -Pluto

[@katelynzdanowicz9748]

Kismet Folly yes but also 'Light' and 'Hearing' and i think that if they're going to react to the planets or the enneagram numbers they should take into account their own personalized results. However 'Earth' is kind of a universal message about climate change and is very moving. I really hope this gets to them ✨

I’m so glad you discovered dodie ! her voice is so soft and beautiful, and her songs are so emotional ! you should do a part 2 with "intertwined", "you", "absolutely smitten", "in the middle", "human"

[@mirandawatson99]

Fun fact: Dodie constructed a kind of contest where all her fans could record themselves harmonizing the bridge of 6/10 and she would include them in the version that you just heard. So, we are literally all singing with her. I remember the first time I heard it I felt like that was it: I was a part of something beautiful.

[@phoenixinferno9215]

I've seen a few videos from this guy in my recommended, but I wasn't super into it, as I thought he might be negative. I thought I'd give it a try with this video and his "yes vibes" and the rest of his commentary are amazing! He genuinely is going into this with an open mind and is super kind about the music, at least as far as I've seen. I like this a lot, and I'm loving his reactions to Dodie.
