Oh dodie, you write such great songs.
PomplamooseMusic you are awesome
Agreed.
And you both do great collabs together!
Yes she does
This song is gonna be on the streaming services. Right? T-T You‘all are so cool
Seriously though, Pomplamoose and dodie are like tea and cake
Pooklee i now want tea and cake
not as good buiscits and tea
The instrumental in the background is just the cream on top 👌
Best description ever 😎
Oreo and milk
God I love that drumline snare sound. And the bass. And all the voices. And all the things.
it just perfection man...perfection that what it is.
The rhythm rocks!
Chris Sorem and Caleb Parker deserve some kudos here.
what's here not to love?
This is one of those recording when absolute magic was made-somewhere between the seamless melding of rich and sonorous voices and the flawless arrangement of the music with the video that brings this song to a new level of greatness!
You could not have said it better.
Agreed. Something pretty amazing here.
You nailed it!
Absolutely.. can’t stop listening… “just a couple of monsters”
the appreciation comment for the two girls doing the backing vocals
Marek Tóth this deserved more likes

Those harmonies were tight enough to make a barbershop quartet blush.

Your mixing guy does phenomenal work!
YEAH he does. Caleb and Ben (our drummer) have produced and mixed the last three songs. They're phenomenal.
I was about to say that. This guy is really damn good.
SynthCreep speaking truth in the comment section!
Mixing is such an underrated skill. I'm glad to see it getting some love!😁
I wonder how expensive these videos are to make: hiring the session musicians, the studio, the producer and mixer...
4 years later and this is still one of my all-time favorite performances on TH-cam.
In commemoration of this finally being released on Spotify, I would like to reiterate that this is, the most high-quality mixed song I have ever heard, possibly the most unreal instrumentals in a song I have ever heard, and just an incredible piece of songwriting from blessed dodie.
I DID!!!???
Totally agree, for a live performance this is so over the top good
The song writing is really great - but Dodie's vocal delivery is Fantastic.. It's ethereal
Seriously, Caleb Parker is a master. He mixed all of this PERFECTLY for Dodie's soft voice. Even with the enhanced and a bit harder hitting version of the song you guys turned Monster into, her voice is still the star of the performance. WOW.
Caleb Parker is the absolute best there is. Also major props to Ben Rose for production
I thought exactly the same! Was amazed by the mix, really make different parts to stand out a bit yet not overshadowing others. Amazing!
I liked this version even better than the one on her album. I feel like Dodie has a similar voice to Nattily though, soft and almost fragile at times but still with a lot of power behind it.
eh, he's alright, could have mixed softer for the intro imo
I agree though he’s hit the de-easer on daddies voice ever so slightly too hard, as there’s a slight lisp on some of her syllables :) but yeah totally agree
I think this lineup is the best Pomplamoose has ever sounded. Which is saying a lot.
I think this is the best version of Monster. Which is saying a lot.
k54ltyd2 you’re saying a lot.
And it’s all true 🙌🏻
it IS
It is... almost a month of having this song as a headstart on my playlist for work
Those specific 7 people of the Pomplamoose lineup are by far my favorite. Nataly, Jack, Brian, Nick, Ben, Loren and Sarah. When they get together magic happens.
This is the canonical version of this song for me. I love this so much. I've listened to it dozens of times by now.
Where have I been?!
4 years ago and only found this masterpiece a few days ago!
The song, crafted so well.
The vocals, butter.
The arrangement, professional.
The groove, solid but fluid.
The production, so so good.
Is it just me or is it like the band is just playing a little under, a little restrained, so as not to let the monster free?
With that feel, it would be easy to let loose and over play.
Just 100% all round. Can’t stop listening to it. Each time hearing something new.
Thank you so much.
BANGER
I LOVE THIS VERSION
and dodie looking just so happy and really having fun with all those people playing her song just makes me so happy
I'm skimpy on calling things favourite things, but good musicians having fun is way up there.
As much as I love the original, this version has sooooomething special. Never stop.
Same thoughts here.
The drums are amazing, the vocals are breathtaking, the entire orchestration of the bass and the other stringed instruments.. man.. wow.. I mean.. ... wow..
I have to agree 💯 %
"A meter apart, we blankly stare.." just hits different during this pandemic
This is the xth time I came back and listened,
1. For a magical song, which captures the listener.
2. For this wonderful accent filling the words with emotion and pushing the melody
3. For a great arrangement that is is just perfect so that the song now came to life
4. For great musicians and nice people
5. A great video which is as good as the arrangement
6. Amazing performance
7. Pomplamoose
8. And a really very very nice done mix.
9. And when you put all of these above together you guys there...I wish all the best luck in the world.
10. And thank you to all the patreons supporting you..
My best.
I went and listened to the official video and ...I have to admit I like this better. Her voice is entrancing in both, but highlighted better here. This arrangement leaves her voice to shine more clearly, and the caliber of backup singing here is just a whole notch better.
Plus whoever is doing the mixing for Pomplamoose on this is - as usual - a goddamned **wizard.**
wow
just...
wow
Yesss
Agreed.
Just...
Agreed.
🤘🐰🤘
I know right? it’s terrible.
i kr
Vocals...sooooo clear.
I swear Nick on bass just keeps getting cooler and cooler...
the mental whiplash of realizing one of my favorite minecraft TH-camrs listens to the same music as me...
No joke, that bass line rocks.
Honestly, this is still one of the best lines I've ever heard from him. Dear lord.
Nick really grew on my from this tune
🏆
This was one hell of a way to introduce me to an incredible musician (dodie) and their amazing music
I listend to this like 1000 times last year...first time I've come back in ages. It still knocks my socks off.
Come listen to it again!
Dodie's face right before the fade to black is so charming. Sometimes as a performer you just know it came out perfect.
@@grahamthomason8796 Bruh u had me dyin, for some reason I found it hilarious u corrected him XD
@@grahamthomason8796 the quickest fade to black possible.
I've known girls that have made that face briefly and it's not after singing. It's about the best compliment a person can get.
@@sty0pa this guy fucks
the drumming is outrageously good
+1 Couldn't have put it better myself..
It's otherlevelly.
Yes, Otherlevelly is a word.
I just created it.
It's a good word. Not great word. Not Otherlevelly, but good.
Use it in good health.
@@waveoflight It's a great word, it's on another level. You spoke anotherlevelly. Can I claim that one?
@@witterquickly
It's all yours.
Don't want to be negative, I usually loves anything they do, but, for me the only thing redeeming about this track is the drumming.
This song never gets old for me. Every time I hear that bass come in on the second verse, my day is instantly better.
Honestly, what even is that lick. It's so good and smooth my brain can barely process it as individual notes.
The vocal harmonies, the bass, the drums, strings, the entire ensemble. Unbelievable arrangement and talent. Please put out more songs together. We need more!!
That lofi rap section just might have given me the best of ideas: a 2000s pop/rock version of monster.
yes yes
I WANT THIS
Just in the middle "la la la la la la la"
This is actually the best
Dodie has one of the best singing accents I've ever heard.
the way she says [bitch] like [bitc] drives me really crazy
Иван Лебедь that’s just how a lot of us british ppl say it 😳
@@evaramsey1736 I just her opinion something bother others
It’s actually one of the worst cases of hipster singing I’ve heard. It needs to stop.
@@SharkeyStormcrow Easy way to make it stop is to not listen to or engage with things you don't like. Ezpz. :)
This is a great example of how a real collaborative band can make a singer songwriter’s music into something transformative
The only thing missing from this song is fireworks exploding in the background. 🎆
It's that perfect!
Holy shit the richness of this. I love it!
Yaass!! Richness is the word I was looking for.. so accurate for this song.
S P O T I F Y ! ! ! This version PLEASE ! ! !
Pablo.Station please
PLEASEEEEE
Please put this in Spotify ✨ Please!
Pablo.Station +1
It is now :)) dodie just posted on her story
So many magical moments in this performance! The drummer, background vocals and especially dodie and Natalie voices! “We won’t eat our words caus’ they don’t taste so gooood!” Pure magic!
@4:24 I love the last chorus, when the song is over and Dodie slowly Open her eyes, that smile gets me everytime
any way we can get the recording on spotify or itunes??? its beautiful
all pomplamoose songs are on Spotify
@@icymoons This one unfortunately is not.
It needs to be!
@@mallyallygramps But Dodie wrote it, so it's her song. I'd think it should be on her Spotify. (This version, if that's agreed on with Pomplamoose.)
Amy Leerae that works for me!
I prefer this version to the original, as the live strings and non-electronic flavour, along with the slightly crunchier vocal harmonies, make for a much more compelling experience. The drumming is better on this one too ;)
all true Thomas!
Check, indeed.
Would be nice if this version was available for download somewhere...
@@CristiNeagu spotify
@@joshuathompson5082 There is no way I am aware of to buy it and download it from there. But then again I don't really use Spotify so I just haven't found it.
that bridge, the "look you know that I've seen this before" bit was absolutely amazing
it's 2024 and this is still song of the year
This song blew me away on Dodie's EP, but this version knocked me on my ass. I didn't think it was possible to improve the original, but here we are. High fives all around!
goshdangit the bridge is so extra chewy and tasty in this version
thats one way to put it 😂
I had to go get my good headphones to listen to this again. Beautifully performed, beautifully recorded, beautifully mixed. Literally a masterpiece at all levels.
This has that swelling sound that is frisson to perfection. Sometimes music is just magic and this is: The just suburb drumming, the underlying bass track grooving, those lovely strings that chill the spine, the perfect harmonies, and the light touches on the video of dodie's half smile and the obvious pleasure of everyone. It makes my day better to listen to it.
I love this. Speaking as a seventy something year old, I hate people who say there has been no good music since the sixties, seventies... whenever. Every generation produces great music. Keep it up.
why is this not on trending? WHY IS THIS IS NOT ON TRENDING???
True that!
Because most people like trash music, which is a tragedy.
I love the end of the video when Dodi is looking like “Did that just happen?!”..Yes it did!! I absolutely love this live version!!
This is just SO good! On every level. Nick Campbell’s bass just grooves so hard. And could dotie be any more charming? I wish this band right here would put out a whole album!
Oh okay Pomplamoose I see you
I like how every single person in this video is so great at what they’re doing. I could watch any one of them solo for the entire song
Mad props to the drummer on this track. Those dynamics were on point.
Wow dodie! This blows me away.
The drums. The full sound. The intensity. The musical complexity.
Thanks for this masterpiece dodie and everyone!
0:15 That face
1:06 The claps
1:43 Those toms
3:22 The eyeroll
4:22 Slow realisation
You've really nailed the high points. Nice work.
What about the bass fill at 1:15??????
3:33 That condescending look
4:25 I'm in love!
I love your 3 collabs with dodie!
More please!!
Listening to this for like the 20th time... it’s a frickin’ masterpiece. Every. Single. Aspect. Vocals? Drums? Bass? Keyboards? Strings? Guitar fills? Not one note or beat more or less, all precisely in place and imbued with heart. It’s like you people practiced this piece for years before recording, and then worked on it again just in case.
This isn't a song, this is liquid gold pouring straight into my brain
Brilliant song. Brilliant performances. Brilliant production. Brilliant mix. AND. Beautifully shot video. Wow.
The drums mix sounds fantastic. I think this live-in-the-studio version is my favorite, and you can see on dodie's face at the end that she was diggin' it as well. Do you guys actually all record at the same time like in the old days?
If this was live, I just don't understand how they managed to make it sound like there's a dozen marching band snares in the mix... Blows my mind!
@@fabrelambeau5858 hes literally doing it with one hand.
@@falfa5496 0:52 really?
@@fabrelambeau5858 There's a lot of post-production applied, but the performances are done together.
Seriously musicians should know what overdubs are in 2019. I mean... people have been overdubbing parts over live performances since like, The Beatles... c'mon
The Original recording is good. This version makes the song come so alive it raises the hairs off my arms. The harmonies, the music, the arrangement and mix down makes a good song into a great song. This should be your music video and not that, what ever that worthless video is with your song playing in the background is. This is a masterpiece!! It fun, exciting and I keep playing it over and over just so I can key in on every part of the arrangement.
I do the same! Jack Conte is truly an amazing arranger! They take what's good and make it better than great, just amazing! You are all so talented!!!
@@JeremyMedinac77 Thank you Buddy. I was a full time musician from 1970 to 1985 road type. AFM 103. You could make a good living back then.
you not understanding the vision that went in for the mv does not make it worthless
@@goosgoos4571 You are absolutely right! I do not understand “The Vision “. I guess I never will. Great tune though!
@@JeremyMedinac77 i believe Nataly made all the arranging.
I wish I had the words to express how much I love this, performance/composition/arrangement/everyone in it. It is perfection, I just wish more could discover it and get as much as I have from listening (I have revisited many times, only today commenting). I see there are 2m views and almost 2,000 comments, at time of writing my comment will disappear, I am sure, but this is one of the best musical videos on TH-cam right now. There I've said it, even if no one sees what I've said. And I feel better now...thank you.
The drummer absolutely NAILS this song!! Great Arrangement. Dodie looks so happy.
Oh! You were not allowed to make me be late for work ... These guitars, strings, voices and drums on Dodie's song are Amazing Crazy... Overall HIGH QUALITY MUSIC YOU GUYS...
I thought this kind of magic wasn't possible. Poomplamoose & Dodie BRAVO!!
Edit: The Richness of this sound!
A I the only one who wants to hear a Dodie album produced by Pomplamoose?
There's some serious Radiohead vibes in this, like the lil background guitar doing solos in verse 2 has me feeling subterranean homesick alien
Are the vocals really live? 'Cause this is on spot
YES.
@@Pomplamoose Completely stunned. You are the man, Jack. Been watching you since you did that collab with MysteryGuitarMan and it has been such a pleasure to see the amazing growth of all your musical projects (including your dubstep phase ahah) and patreon. You're someone I look up to and hopefully I will achieve such greatness. Keep it going, man!
YES
@@doddleoddle In my language there is a word "pinta" that refers to somenone's grace in subtle gestures, look and expressions. I have to say you are full of "pinta".
PomplamooseMusic jesus. Fucking tops.
Got to be honest but Dodie truly is one of the best songwriters
Besides that, you guys sounded amazing together
This version gives me shivers.
Again and again I listen. perfectly sublime
Nothing out of place. Wonderful
Pomplamoose's usual awesome sound treatment really enhances Dodie's lyrics.
Just when I thought that the original couldn't be improved on.
That series of facial expressions at 4:22 is worth gold.
You read my mind
This song is the most beautiful collection of sounds I've ever heard.
Dodie's sweet smile at the end....like she's surprised that it went beautifully 😊
I'm living for these collabs and mash ups. It's just so chef's kiss.
The real question is where did Dodie get that sweater?
I want her whole outfit
Pomplamoose is like bacon, everything is better with it BACON... Plus, this Dodie song is LEGENDARY. Amazing.
This is the cleanest drum track I've heard on a song. Creative and clean. so GOOD
Agree, sensitive, clever and sophisticated!
i want nothing more than getting this on spotify :,)
Petition for this to be added to Spotify. I am in LOVE
Wow, dodie's voice is so beautiful! And with Natalie's! And with Loren's and Sarah's! And the violins! OMG this is a delight for the ears :)
What a long way you guys came! I know you guys since 2015, and your work was already good, but know it's pristine!
ok i love dodies original but tbh this one is just like a whole other dimension like this is a bop
Combine Monster from Dodie with Pomplamoose was such a great idea, nice work ! :D
dodie's face at the end... like waking from a cloud of bliss. Such a beautiful performance everyone.
Ahhhh, Dat bass groove Though - 3:02
I hope this leads pomplamoose fans to discover dodie and dodie fans to discover pomplamoose! Yay!💖
JustMe oh yes it does and its wonderful !!
Ohh, after the second play of this, dodie stay perma on me spotify playlist... hahaha
Yes. First Pomplamoose and now Dodie! A circle of Amazing Talent.
Love this version. P L E A S E put it on Spotify! Best wishes from Germany
yes! PLEASE put it on Spotify!!! I didn't think I'd like anything more than the original but this takes the cake
So this is how it feel to listen the Sirens sing
So much fun to play this song on the guitar! ( esp that bridge at the end!) Rock on Pomplamoose and Dodie!
"get out of my room"
the bass slowly nods with "respect my art".
Pardon my language but holy SHIT.... this was a masterclass in music. You can tell by Jacks face throughout the whole thing that this is pure liquid gold
This is really a masterpiece!
Did... did you just apologize for cursing in a TH-cam comment?
And here you can see a bassist in his most unnatural environment... a band that allows him to have both strong presence and the permission to absolutely kill it. Truly a rarity in the wild.
More Dodie with Pomplamoose, PLEASE!
3:03 this part is probably my favorite
Nick rules.
Yeah. The breakdown is badass. Such a good mix. Way to go Ben and Caleb.
I agree :-)
DITTO what a groove
My favorite version of this song! So many complementary parts going on simultaneously, I've listened to it dozens of times and can't get enough.
One of the few songs that gives me goose bumps every. single. time.
Epic ... creative , interesting, lots of talent on display.. As a drummer, I especially enjoyed this drum track.
I know this is a couple months old now, but I gotta say, Ben Rose did a fantastic job on drums with this one. Sounds fucking awesome
Wow this is better then the original version. I love these Dodie and Pomplamoose performances
Harmony is life. I could crawl inside this song and live for days.
So much talent in one room. Thank you all for this insanely good music.
yes they rock
The arrangement! The strings! The bass!! ,The lead guitar!!! The drums!!!! The drums again!!!!! The vocals!!!!!! This version deserves to be a hit everywhere. Love it!
OK WTH WHEN I THOUGHT DODIE CANT GET ANY BETTER A BANGER GETS UPGRADED OMG I WANT TO SAVE THIS TO MY PLAYLIST
dO iT
Phew. Every single thing about this made me re-love music.
OMG every time I listen to this song I want to like it again, and again, and again!
