She’s not perfect. No ones perfect. She has her quirks and flaws and that’s what makes her special and that is why we love her so very much.

[@SophiaWilson]

This is so comforting. I listen to it before bed or when I. Am stressed or getting anxious about life and crap.

[@mia-yf8pz]

Samee im listening to it in bed rn so I can calm down and go to sleep.

[@sunnyjim1355]

If just listening to some poxy song is enough to help you with life then you really have nothing to worry about... get the fuck over yourself, millennial.

[@mia-yf8pz]

Sunny Jim why? Why do you have to be so rude? Our comments did nothing to you, didn't mess with you, so why do you feel the need to be rude? You don't know any of us or our lives and if listening to music helps calms us down then that's what we're gonna do. Please don't be so rude.

[@therese4089]

The writer said the song is "lyrically fairly meaningless" and it was more a song to focus on singing. Fleet foxes had actually hoped it would make people laugh but instead it confuses them. The lyrics are kind of about the painful loss of innocence (like sweet kids become drug dealers later on and friendships becoming less important than trends etc) Robin even said he meant for the song to be mildly uplifting like "whistle while you work" from snow white So I guess no one died...

[@natattacc99]

Therese "So I guess no one died..." Short answer xD

[@Mintfaery]

Thanks for this, I was wondering as well!

[@azrielackerman3790]

I mean, the writer might say it's meaningless but there are a heck load of references to the french revolution in this. Also, no writer writes something as specific as this without any inspiration.

[@grey1749]

i always had a feeling that they meant the archangel michael? like he lead the war with god's angels against satan and won, so maybe michael falling dead means that satan won? and that ties in with you saying about the painful loss of innocence (i'm not at all religious anymore, but it kinda still sticks w me)

[@jcob4197]

Wait i thought it was about the french revolution some one explained it in the official yarn video type thing and in my thought lots of people died

[@SophiaWilson]

“Who died?” ME I FREAKING DIED OVER THIS GREAT VIDEO!

[@caitlynroesch5715]

LYRICS I was following the [8x] I was following the pack All swaddled in their coats With scarves of red tied 'round their throats To keep their little heads From fallin' in the snow And I turned 'round and there you go And, Michael, you would fall And turn the white snow red as strawberries In the summertime I was following the pack All swaddled in their coats With scarves of red tied 'round their throats To keep their little heads From fallin' in the snow And I turned 'round and there you go And, Michael, you would fall And turn the white snow red as strawberries In the summertime

[@willahale8566]

I love fleet Foxes!!

[@soundbite9532]

it’s swallowed not swaddled

[@jackiehouse529]

*Psst Dodie* The lead singer of Fleet Foxes (who wrote the song) said the lyrics are pretty meaningless. He just wanted to start the album out with a song that was focused on singing. He kinda likes how it confuses people.

[@teafoamart2757]

He also said that it's a bit about loss of innocence and growing up, but while they were writing it it was pretty meaningless. 👍

[@nikoletta551]

I love how dodie is like dodie's own annoying sibling 😅

[@TPHRyan]

Hedy wasn't available and also isn't as annoying

[@peachy8390]

This song is about that old story about the girl who was pressured into taking her scarf off by her lover, and when she finally did, her head fell off. That story is in turn based on a Grimm Brother’s fairytale about a stepmother who chopped off her stepson’s head and, to cover up, tied a handkerchief around his neck. ...Not really sure why it’s based on that, but there ya go!

[@lettucenjoyer]

Sleepy Actually White Winter Hymnal was apperently written from ''personal experience''. ''Fleet Foxes songwriter Robin Pecknold revealed to Rolling Stone that his songs are "written from personal experience,” including “Hymnal,” which was about a time when his friends ditched him in middle school. The lyrics might have been about childhood past, but the melody came from a familiar source - namely, Walt Disney. “The idea was a song like “Whistle While You Work,” from Snow White, you know?” Pecknold said. “So it started with that very beginning thing, the first kind of like, melody. And then once the verse was done, it just seemed like it lent itself to the repetition, you know?”

[@peachy8390]

@@lettucenjoyer? I read somewhere that this particular song has no actual meaning and is preferred for people to think about it how they want

i think this song is about how during the French revolution the people wore coats that covered their entire body and red scarves to show that they were part of the revolution and they would walk in a pack but if you turned around the others would behead you and keep walking

Ikkkkk at the end she comes out from behind the camera!!

[@64wing]

@happy little raincloud I think she's having a trick on us. If you watch her blurry "twin" in the mirror she does a little head shake thing on notes held for a bit longer. But it's a good truck with that book at the end ☺️

[@lambgirl3609]

oh dodie you managed to make an ugly lesbian with braces, oversized glasses, a heavy period, proportions that are all wrong, anxiety, ocd and some truly negative feeling circling my appearance feel like a dainty snowflake. i feel beautiful. i feel... okay.

[@hannahherrmann4921]

You feel beautiful because you are.

[@colecerys123]

I hope you dont feel like this anymore cause you are beautiful❤

[@SophiaWilson]

Melanie asked so here it is! I think of this song as a little frame of a childhood memory - maybe of a five or six year old. He is with a bunch of children, maybe running after the older kids, who just look like a bunch of coats since they are so bundled up. He thinks in his child's mind that the scarves keep their heads from falling off. Then he looks behind him and his friend has fallen and hurt himself and there is bright red blood in the snow. Sometimes a memory like that sticks with you even though you can't remember anything else about it. So Michael is the kid.

[@1snowangel3]

Sophia Wilson That's actually what I always thought it was about too

[@melfromhell]

Sophia Wilson I have a similar interpretation except that in my case the kids are in a forest and wearing bright red scarves to not lose each other, and Michael falls from somewhere high and hits his head

[@galapagospenguin5708]

The people who wrote it said that they were literally just singing random things and that it has no meaning. But I like what you think, though I think it is more like decapitation than just hurting oneself because of... You know... With scarves of red tied round their throats, to keep their little heads from falling in the snow, then I turned round and there you go

[@abbababby]

Sophia Wilson that’s a really cool interpretation. I personally think it’s about the French Revolution. Everyone’s making their was to the guillotine, and many are wearing red scarves to show they are pro-revolution, as to not get their heads cut off. then this michael person was guillotined and his blood turned the snow “red as strawberries in the summertime” :) I’m not sure if this is totally right but after analyzing it- this is what I came up with!

[@katieweaver2999]

i’ve read a few comments and it’s actually supposed to be based off the french revolution, but i like your interpretation !!

[@livenarrator1503]

I did not think I could love a version of this song more than Pentatonix's cover but the rawness of this is astounding.

[@livenarrator1503]

ajStrongwolf Pentatonix's version is my favourite because I find the backing music and slight echoing quality on Fleet Foxes original a little jarring. I do know they aren't the original artist but I have edited my first comment just in case somebody else didn't.

[@HauntinglyAsh]

This was lovely and soft

[@annabelletate458]

LYRICS: I was following (6x) I was following the pack all swallowed in the coats With scarves of red tied ‘round their throats To keep their little heads from falling in snow And I’d turn ‘round and there you go And Michael you would fall And turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summer time Sorry if their are a lot of mistakes😬✌️

[@nathan-sb5iw]

Conspiracy: Dodie is 5 people, a set of quintuplets.

[@JeraSky]

would explain a lot...

[@lotus4972]

Yay! I get to give a quick history lesson: So long story short, there was a time in France where if you believed in God, you were persecuted and even executed. (See: "I was following the *pack* all swallowed in their coats, with scarves of *red* tied round their *throats* ") So, naturally, people kept their religion a secret as not to get executed via decapitation. (See: "To keep their little *heads from falling* in the snow.") Others however, such as this specific prophet named *Michael,* didn't care to hide their beliefs and religious practices. (See: "Then I turned round and there'd you go.") So one winter, this prophet Michael was persecuted and decapitated in front of a crowd for his beliefs. (See: "And *Michael,* you would *fall* and turn the white snow *red* as strawberries in the summertime.") This song, however, was not written about this story, as the creators of this song, Fleet Foxes, claim that they wrote the song to have no particular meaning. However, there's speculation that there's some relation to this story in the song, because it's too much of a coincidence not to be. And you know what we say about coincidence: The universe is rarely so lazy. 😉

[@oliviajacobs623]

INFO ON THIS SONG Lead singer and songwriter Robin Pecknold (from Daytrotter): "It's lyrically fairly meaningless. As an introduction to the record, (this was intended to be the opening track on the album), we thought it would be nice to start it with a simple jam that's focussed on singing - on the record it starts with a tongue-in-cheek harmony thing that we hoped would make people laugh or something but I think it just confuses them. This is my favorite song to play live, though singing it live is sometimes difficult because the lyrics are so vague. Weird how that works!"

[@LC-sy6gw]

ALSO I like to think that Micheal is actually Micheal the archangel who cast good ol luci into hell and who I believe later fell from grace, hence the “fall” bit.

[@lucythelunchbox_7228]

I always saw they were in some army or troop wearing heavy coats to keep warm, walking past the people who were hung from trees (scarves of red keeping them suspended above the snow) and then they hear a bang and he turns around and his friend (or himself ) Michael is shot first which turns the snow red like strawberries

[@casserola4096]

The original song was written by a wonderful band called fleet foxes! They're really good and I recommend you check them out, they have very nice relaxing and surreal music and they came out with a new album for the first time in four years. Highly recommend!

[@bethjohansson682]

History of the song: during the Russian Revolution, people had to wear red scarves (similar to how Jews had to wear the Star of David during WWII) and if they were seen without a scarf they were to be hanged and so, quite literally, their scarves would "keep their heads from falling in the snow" Beautiful song until you observe the lyrics

[@Mirmar15]

Beth Johansson I had heard it was the French revolution and the scarves represented their loyalty to the French revolution. But then again I’ve also heard it’s literally a nothing song so I could be very very wrong 😂

The song is by Fleet Foxes. It's about 4 brothers, and the youngest (Michael) used to bundle up in red coats before going outside to play in the snow but he would always fall or trip in the snow due to all the coats and jackets.

[@simonetran2390]

this was so soft and peaceful

[@finnmaccool5063]

who DID die? who is MICHAEL?? what happened??? what a mysterious song

[@megansaumure802]

The people who wrote this song didn't mean anything really, they just chose random words that fit well together and sounded nice 🙈 (did my research the first time I heard it) see my other comment for my thoughts on the meaning 😊

[@shoutsoda6258]

There's a Grimm Brothers fairytale where a stepmother kills her son and reattaches his head with a handkerchief or scarf in some versions so that people wouldn't know he was dead (hence the 'with scarves of red tied round their throats to keep their little heads from falling in the snow). I've always interpreted this song as Michael being the dead boy with the scarf around his neck!

[@cremat]

i always assumed it to be about the french revolution? and that the people that supported the rebellion wore pieces of red cloth and michael for some reason didn’t and got executed

[@megansaumure802]

eli c. Love this explenation too 👌 not sure about the step mother thing 😂 so much for making it less creepy 😂

[@shoutsoda6258]

Aah, it's been a little while since I last read it, but the fairytale is called The Juniper Tree!

[@MsAndynails]

These have got to be the sweetest most pure harmonies my ears have ever been graced with in my life.

[@sarahorsinger2676]

My ears have officially been blessed brb while I listen to this on repeat for the next 5 years

[@oliviafendrich7052]

my choir and i have been practicing this song for ages and our concert is in a week and it was so cool to hear you sing a song that i've been working on for a while you are amazing and im glad to see that you're back!

[@chloewatson8812]

I love Dodie so fucking much. Like, how can you not? She's literally the image of perfectly imperfect and that's what I love about her. And her music is just the cherry on top!

[@susanamariadias]

i thought it was hedy back there and then suddenly another dodie popped out and i was VERY confused for a few seconds

[@jays.harmony]

It's okay I was confused too 😂

[@jupiter6628]

Susana Maria ME TOOOOO I WAS LIKE "damn did they film at different times or did they get two of the same outfit???? wot???"

[@meg-iv2th]

Caitlin Morrison does she really have a twin or is that her too..?

[@susanamariadias]

Amazing Phantaholics thats her, she just used something called split screen and recorded herself in 2 different positions

[@finchb.8753]

i am actually going to cry,,,, i listened to this song (done by fleet foxes) so much when i was really young and then completely forgot about it. there are so many memories of old friends and adventures in the fall and summer camps miles away from home that are entangled in these sounds. now that im hearing it,its all coming back and is honestly so beautiful this is why i listen to dodie

[@LuizHenrique730]

this christmas mood is so incredible I think we should just rename it dodiemas

[@yogourtcoveredraisins]

Luiz Henrique Clarkmas

[@LuizHenrique730]

Clarkmas is waaay better. Thank you.

[@yogourtcoveredraisins]

Luiz Henrique oh ofc

[@katieknish5653]

yesssss I wonder if anyone considered this Christmas-y 'til Pentatonix covered it. IN ANY CASE, this is a fav of mine, and your take on it is lovely :)

[@lucyheathernicholson]

The writers said it was mainly meaningless, but there’s references to the French Revolution and WW2 where people would wear red scarves on/around their necks to show allegiance to the Nazis (ie if you weren’t wearing one you were killed). Either way, whatever it’s references are, it’s a beautiful song ✨

[@anacristina-lb3jz]

I was just watching dodie , and now I’m here to watch more dodie. Very happy :)

[@nikoletta551]

GAH I CAN'T IT'S SO CUTE

[@jess-rk5oc]

this video gives me a rlly nice warm christmassy feeling, i watched this so much in December it just takes me back to feeling warm and happy in bed surrounded by my family and really good food and not having to study ughh

[@stellawilliams8678]

dodie makes the holidays 100x better

[@paulamorales7853]

So recently i asked my dad for ur book for christmas and i never really get super cool presents like iphones or really expensive stuff. Most of the time i get crayola stuff and yeh. Anyways he said maybe but not to get my hopes up and i was really sad because when he says that it never really happens. A couple days passed and my parents decide to divorce and im just broken. I go with my dad and just bawled my eyes out that night. A week passed and my dad calls me and tells me to walk home early today and when i get home he has the book and it just made my day and i was so happy that words cant even describe it. He says i cant open it till christmas and ive never been so excited in my life I just wanted to give u a formal thank u dodie for making my life filled with joy. I cant thank u enough. ❤

[@beanblack481]

My kitten is sleeping right now and it's 3 am and his paw keeps twitching and tapping to the snaps and it's so pure and it's making me so happy! Ive replayed this 10 times and he does it ever time! Love you Dodie for making me and my sleeping kitten happy

[@lilyhoefner6722]

The humming was insane

[@bleaky8885]

I've been binge-listening to this recently, and then you cover it...

[@Hydrolion1998]

Idk why I didn't comment this when this 1st came out but I love how calming your version of the songs makes me feel. It's super pleasant and nice.

[@carinabonifaz1769]

This is so calming and beautiful!!

[@maiarl2842]

i paused riverdale for this dodie - holding those true loyalties, y’know
