Could this mean that the older woman watching it all is looking back at her most vivid memory which is her wedding and that she wasn't happy in the relationship she was in and she wanted a change so she went back and instead of her actions changing, everyone else did.
So couple awkwardly dances to a man who hasnt been through puberty, then they leave with him in another dimension and a girl in the corner is having an existential crisis. Loved it

I mean, definitly, because I've always felt like it was about introducing your best friend to your partner... now I'm just confused about everything in life. Is time travel real? Where did the portal go to?
Stages of watching this video: a wedding?? oh yay dodi- who is this dude? I'm uncomfortable oh wow! talk about a third wheel are they gonna fu- oh snap a portal Cake? what is this said 'cake', i know dodie loves metaphors okay, no one else knows what tf is happening either, cool cool
That end speech caught me off guard. Like I was vibing to the song and then it just got all emotional suddenly. I dig it. Would absolutely love to work with Dodie in the future. She has such a nice voice and it seems like we both make songs with meaning vs what you often hear on the radio these days.
The monologue at the end comforts me so much. When I came out as polyamorous to my mum she said "I don't know it feels wrong, like you're having your cake and eating it too." Whenever I feel sad about that I just imagine using this as a response. After all "how often will you be offered a piece of cake as delicious as this?"
Analysis (I know the video is silly, but I like doing this so onward) This husband and wife do not want to be together: like, at all. They feel awkward, are totally introverted, and are honestly marrying each other cause they are not sure they will ever find anybody else who will put up with them (peep the awkwardness). Other people know this, and therefore don't support the marriage (there is only one other person there, we will get to her later). So, they get the cheapest budget guy they can afford, because they just do not care, and have their first dance just to get it over with. For some reason, when they touch each other to dance, something is... different this time. Suddenly this man starts singing, and it is not at all what they expect (a metaphor for things sometimes not being what they seem). As this man sings, they fall in love, not with him, but with his voice. This is symbolism for them realizing that maybe what they have in common is enough to sustain a beautiful relationship and romance. The portal at the end (besides being a threesome lol) is a metaphor for them jumping headfirst into a new life, where they accept each other's personalities. Now, the lady at the end, is just there. She's old, and kind of hopeless in terms of ever finding love, so she sits and eats her cake, and watches other people fall in love. The monologue at the end starts: but the lady doesn't find it apply to her. She DOES eat her cake, she HAS gone skinny-dipping in the moonlight, she WILL lay in the grass to stare at the stars. But when she smiles at the camera, she let's us in on a secret: she is so glad her daughter has found someone who will do those things with her. And as she eats her cake, she remembers the other 199 pieces of cake. But this one is the best piece.
me at the start of the video: ahhh this is a cute funny little quirky music video i like it me at the end of the video: what is life what am i why am i here AHHHHH
OKAY HERE'S MY TAKE ON IT: it's all about missed chances. Everything that happens is actually in the memory/imagination of the older woman in pink (the bride is her past self), hence why the fashion is so outdated and, even though it's supposedly a wedding, there aren't any guests - she doesn't remember who the guests were, all she remembers (or at least all that's important to the memory) is her husband and the awkward dance and the awkward band and the tacky decorations. So she's remembering her first dance with her husband and in her mind it's a pretty uncomfortable affair: not only do neither of them seem to be into it but they're both more interested in the singer than each other (the singer probably represents something else though I'm not sure what). Then halfway through the song we see the woman take a bite out of a slice of cake and immediately the scene changes - instead of getting up for their dance the couple seem to have a silent agreement, they get up and follow the singer through a portal. As established the closing monologue, eating cake here is a metaphor for taking a chance. The moment she takes that bite we go from her memory to her imagination, and what she imagines is her and her husband taking the chance she wishes they'd taken, and subsequently follow the singer off into an alternate universe where they didn't follow the same path so their ending is different. But of course it's just imagination, she never did take that chance, and so she's left behind in the real world wishing she'd accepted the cake (I think the monologue at the end is supposed to be her - opportunities are rare, don't let them pass by like she did). I'm not sure what the scrapbook in the middle of supposed to be about, or of the singer is symbolic of something specific, but the whole thing is about regretting not taking a shot that should have been taken.
dodie's monologue at the end would have been really deep were it not for the silliness that preceded it. This is possibly one of the most uncomfortable and fun videos ever.
I love how bizarre it is though. And how unexpected that last monolougue was. Just goes to show the deeper parts of life don't always come about in a crescendo after equally deep scenes. Sometimes they come during stupid, weird moments, and not at all glamorous points in life. Do what you can when you can (including a threesome lol). Because the rest of your life isn't going to be profound.
Lyrics What are you doing Friday? Wanna help my worlds collide? Let's make a bow with old cut ties Do you want his number? Or shall I be the one to call? I haven't seen him much at all It could be weird but I think I'm into it You know I'm one for the overly passionate I like you, and I loved him We could all be the best kind of friends You said you're into closure Shake hands like you're supposed to I'll be in the middle while you two get along You've got so much in common Talk about your taste in women I'll be in the middle while you two get along Hey! Does he smile like I do? Oh, it was shared despite our flaws I held his hand like I hold yours Thanks for understanding Oh, this could be a lot of fun So break the awkward, come undone It could be weird but I think I'm into it You know I'm one for the overly passionate I like you, and I loved him We could all be the best kind of friends You said you're into closure Shake hands like you're supposed to I'll be in the middle while you two get along You've got so much in common Talk about your taste in women I'll be in the middle while you two get along (In the middle) (In the middle) (I'll be in the middle, in the middle) (I'll be in the middle, in the middle, in the middle) (Hey!) It could be weird but I think I'm into it You know I'm one for the overly passionate I said it could be weird but I think I'm into it You know I'm one for the overly passionate I like you, and I loved him We could all be the best kind of friends You said you're into closure Shake hands like you're supposed to I'll be in the middle while you two get along You've got so much in common Talk about your taste in women I'll be in the middle while you two get along I'll be in the middle, in the middle Hey!
Okay here's my interpretation, right or wrong it doesn't matter that's not the point. Dodie isn't the one singing. The guy is just using her name to be a reminder to the couple of the past, and a glaring problem (the ex) right in front of them, both literally and metaphorically, which is backed up by their uncomfortable reactions to the performance. The entire song is passive aggressive, saying that even if she's not there (its obvious to the couple that the person 'singing' isn't dodie) that her presence will still be there (the song). Dodie is infact the woman eating the cake; reminiscing of what she wished she had done (confronted them), which is objectified by the cake, which when the monologue begins makes her view and feelings more apparent, another element of her underlying feelings not fully being shown. Potentially, she hired the 'band', which makes sense as the couple seem confused and she is the only other person there, as a way of getting her own back without directly hurting them, emphasising that she feels she is the better person, which is shown by the lyrics 'You two get along', signifying to us that she is letting them do what they want, albeit begrudgingly. Lastly, the fact it is a man singing is not only odd, jarring and a subversion of expectactions thus making it funny, it also gives a (possible?) subtle hint to the relationship- the bride and her were the ones dating, thus obviously making it a gay relationship. The lyrics 'does he smile like I do' shows this, as it is from a man's perspective, making the fictional relationship gay aswell. As a result, life imitates art. Dodie, this was beautiful. To everyone involved, well done on such a beautiful peace, something that no doubt people can find their own meaning of. I look forward to what lies ahead, and congratulations!
I'm recovering from anorexia and the last bit really helped give me the motivation I needed today, didn't expect it cause I haven't watched this before but very glad I heard it.
Have you tried the cake? It's good. Maybe your thinking you've already eaten, or I want to dance later and don't want to feel bloated. Maybe your thinking I am on a diet. But then how many times will you be offered a piece of cake as delicious as this. Perhaps, two or three times a year if your lucky. Over your course of your life maybe two hundred times. And how many times will you refuse? How many times will you go skinny dipping in the moonlight? Maybe seven, if your lucky. How many times will you lie on your back in the grass and watch the stars? How many times will you let yourself be completely overwhelmed by the great inconceivable expanse of the universe? There are only so many chances to take. And of course you don't know when it will end. So it all feels limitless.

I can’t believe all this time I thought this song was about being a third-wheel. It fits So well But it’s About threesomes I- I can’t believe I tried to relate to this song at some point. It’s still a good song and hell catchy.
I just thought it was about a girl who wants her current bf and her ex-bf to meet because they're alike, so she thinks they would be good friends. It never occurred to me that it was about a girl arranging a threesome with her bf and her ex-bf.

@@Laraaxmovies I believe it's the portal to threesome universe (as that is what the song is about I believe)
'Dodie......dodie."
*clap clap*
Oh my gosh!
The whole music video was so AMAZING
The speech at the end inspired me a lot too :)
um what
Mimi Oang it was
Mimi Oang same
That ending monologue is oddly comforting honestly. Even if it is just another allusion to a threesome
Stages of watching this video:
a wedding??
oh yay dodi- who is this dude?
I'm uncomfortable
oh wow! talk about a third wheel
are they gonna fu- oh snap a portal
Cake? what is this said 'cake', i know dodie loves metaphors
okay, no one else knows what tf is happening either, cool cool
Cake, threesomes, unfathomable expanses of the universe, it all means do wild shit and enjoy being alive
That end speech caught me off guard. Like I was vibing to the song and then it just got all emotional suddenly. I dig it. Would absolutely love to work with Dodie in the future. She has such a nice voice and it seems like we both make songs with meaning vs what you often hear on the radio these days.
Jay 1:40
Omg yes the ending made me cry. Good luck with your music!! I love supporting small artists who spread a good message :)
I love your music jay. it has helped me through so much and I'm so excited to see you become big
zndfnwodcw Thank you very much
Jason C Much love, brother.
I wasn’t expecting that to get deep at the end.
me 2
yeah, made me emo
The monologue at the end comforts me so much. When I came out as polyamorous to my mum she said "I don't know it feels wrong, like you're having your cake and eating it too." Whenever I feel sad about that I just imagine using this as a response. After all "how often will you be offered a piece of cake as delicious as this?"
i love this.
im sooooo confused.
but i adore it.
lexi bear me too 😂
Every Little thing you do I do adore
what are you doing friday..... it was posted on a friday IM LIVING
I just glanced at the thumbnail and I was so hyped to see Dodie in a gaudy 80s wedding dress.
Melanie Anne Ahern that's not dodie
Yea that’s not dodie
that’s not dodie ...
i think thats the point, theyre saying that since they only glanced they thought it was dodie, and that the actual video was unexpected
Analysis (I know the video is silly, but I like doing this so onward)
This husband and wife do not want to be together: like, at all. They feel awkward, are totally introverted, and are honestly marrying each other cause they are not sure they will ever find anybody else who will put up with them (peep the awkwardness). Other people know this, and therefore don't support the marriage (there is only one other person there, we will get to her later). So, they get the cheapest budget guy they can afford, because they just do not care, and have their first dance just to get it over with. For some reason, when they touch each other to dance, something is... different this time. Suddenly this man starts singing, and it is not at all what they expect (a metaphor for things sometimes not being what they seem). As this man sings, they fall in love, not with him, but with his voice. This is symbolism for them realizing that maybe what they have in common is enough to sustain a beautiful relationship and romance. The portal at the end (besides being a threesome lol) is a metaphor for them jumping headfirst into a new life, where they accept each other's personalities.
Now, the lady at the end, is just there. She's old, and kind of hopeless in terms of ever finding love, so she sits and eats her cake, and watches other people fall in love. The monologue at the end starts: but the lady doesn't find it apply to her. She DOES eat her cake, she HAS gone skinny-dipping in the moonlight, she WILL lay in the grass to stare at the stars. But when she smiles at the camera, she let's us in on a secret: she is so glad her daughter has found someone who will do those things with her. And as she eats her cake, she remembers the other 199 pieces of cake. But this one is the best piece.
Thank you this makes a lot more sense now
Ok I actually like this theory. It adds another layer onto the already fun and bizarre video.
You're a good writer. Inspiring. Love from Texas ♡
dodie: *nOpe its smEXY THreEsOME TimE*
This is a brilliant take on it, I LOVE it! ❤️
me at the start of the video: ahhh this is a cute funny little quirky music video i like it
me at the end of the video: what is life what am i why am i here AHHHHH
OKAY HERE'S MY TAKE ON IT: it's all about missed chances.
Everything that happens is actually in the memory/imagination of the older woman in pink (the bride is her past self), hence why the fashion is so outdated and, even though it's supposedly a wedding, there aren't any guests - she doesn't remember who the guests were, all she remembers (or at least all that's important to the memory) is her husband and the awkward dance and the awkward band and the tacky decorations.
So she's remembering her first dance with her husband and in her mind it's a pretty uncomfortable affair: not only do neither of them seem to be into it but they're both more interested in the singer than each other (the singer probably represents something else though I'm not sure what). Then halfway through the song we see the woman take a bite out of a slice of cake and immediately the scene changes - instead of getting up for their dance the couple seem to have a silent agreement, they get up and follow the singer through a portal. As established the closing monologue, eating cake here is a metaphor for taking a chance. The moment she takes that bite we go from her memory to her imagination, and what she imagines is her and her husband taking the chance she wishes they'd taken, and subsequently follow the singer off into an alternate universe where they didn't follow the same path so their ending is different.
But of course it's just imagination, she never did take that chance, and so she's left behind in the real world wishing she'd accepted the cake (I think the monologue at the end is supposed to be her - opportunities are rare, don't let them pass by like she did).
I'm not sure what the scrapbook in the middle of supposed to be about, or of the singer is symbolic of something specific, but the whole thing is about regretting not taking a shot that should have been taken.
Maggie Standage-Bowles THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE TY
YES YES YES
Maggie Standage-Bowles +
Maybe the scrap book is how all those people took chances and had those moment. They can happen to anyone who complies. I dont know.
THANK YOU FOR MAKING SENSE OF THIS
i got ready to take a hot screenshot of dodie when the microphone was shown and
chzoop nice surprise, ain't it?
you were so surprised by how hot she looked that you died and didn't finish your sentence
dodie's monologue at the end would have been really deep were it not for the silliness that preceded it. This is possibly one of the most uncomfortable and fun videos ever.
I was gonna like but... 69 likes? Too perfect
th-cam.com/video/tnsyGVXBLFw/w-d-xo.html
I love how bizarre it is though. And how unexpected that last monolougue was. Just goes to show the deeper parts of life don't always come about in a crescendo after equally deep scenes. Sometimes they come during stupid, weird moments, and not at all glamorous points in life. Do what you can when you can (including a threesome lol). Because the rest of your life isn't going to be profound.
It's only uncomfortable because you're still busy resisting that piece of cake. Just say yesssss. . .
I feel like a lot of Dodie songs have a lot of contrast in them. Especially the melodies of the verses and chorus
dodie hit second puberty
Best thing I've read all day
I get it k can’t
I don't know what the hell is happening but I love it
lol
Lika RIGHT SAME
right
Lika sameee
mood
Dodie had such a glow up
Lyrics
What are you doing Friday?
Wanna help my worlds collide?
Let's make a bow with old cut ties
Do you want his number?
Or shall I be the one to call?
I haven't seen him much at all
It could be weird but I think I'm into it
You know I'm one for the overly passionate
I like you, and I loved him
We could all be the best kind of friends
You said you're into closure
Shake hands like you're supposed to
I'll be in the middle while you two get along
You've got so much in common
Talk about your taste in women
I'll be in the middle while you two get along
Hey!
Does he smile like I do?
Oh, it was shared despite our flaws
I held his hand like I hold yours
Thanks for understanding
Oh, this could be a lot of fun
So break the awkward, come undone
It could be weird but I think I'm into it
You know I'm one for the overly passionate
I like you, and I loved him
We could all be the best kind of friends
You said you're into closure
Shake hands like you're supposed to
I'll be in the middle while you two get along
You've got so much in common
Talk about your taste in women
I'll be in the middle while you two get along
(In the middle)
(In the middle)
(I'll be in the middle, in the middle)
(I'll be in the middle, in the middle, in the middle)
(Hey!)
It could be weird but I think I'm into it
You know I'm one for the overly passionate
I said it could be weird but I think I'm into it
You know I'm one for the overly passionate
I like you, and I loved him
We could all be the best kind of friends
You said you're into closure
Shake hands like you're supposed to
I'll be in the middle while you two get along
You've got so much in common
Talk about your taste in women
I'll be in the middle while you two get along
I'll be in the middle, in the middle
Hey!
Okay here's my interpretation, right or wrong it doesn't matter that's not the point.
Dodie isn't the one singing. The guy is just using her name to be a reminder to the couple of the past, and a glaring problem (the ex) right in front of them, both literally and metaphorically, which is backed up by their uncomfortable reactions to the performance.
The entire song is passive aggressive, saying that even if she's not there (its obvious to the couple that the person 'singing' isn't dodie) that her presence will still be there (the song).
Dodie is infact the woman eating the cake; reminiscing of what she wished she had done (confronted them), which is objectified by the cake, which when the monologue begins makes her view and feelings more apparent, another element of her underlying feelings not fully being shown. Potentially, she hired the 'band', which makes sense as the couple seem confused and she is the only other person there, as a way of getting her own back without directly hurting them, emphasising that she feels she is the better person, which is shown by the lyrics 'You two get along', signifying to us that she is letting them do what they want, albeit begrudgingly.
Lastly, the fact it is a man singing is not only odd, jarring and a subversion of expectactions thus making it funny, it also gives a (possible?) subtle hint to the relationship- the bride and her were the ones dating, thus obviously making it a gay relationship. The lyrics 'does he smile like I do' shows this, as it is from a man's perspective, making the fictional relationship gay aswell. As a result, life imitates art.
Dodie, this was beautiful. To everyone involved, well done on such a beautiful peace, something that no doubt people can find their own meaning of. I look forward to what lies ahead, and congratulations!
Alfie it's not that deep
Alfie OMFG THIS WAS SO MUCH TO TAKE IN
this actually makes sense
Smol Sheep don't be rude
Alfie yes this is great💙
I WASN'T READY
Lika Right!? Haha. It's awesome though.
This video do represent my entire life.
awkward, strange, uncomfortable and weirdly poetic.
berNII-SAN sounds more like it.
The bride & groom falling in love with the singer and running away with him is NOT the romance i expected to want but it was the one i needed
Is this Dodies way of telling us she's a bisexual time traveler
Yes
yes. i love this.
so shes basically the Doctor then
Ok but she IS Clara Oswald this is the best day of my life
GillianWith omg yES
the old dodie can't come to the phone right now.
why?
oh because she's a middle aged man.
beautiful.
I laughed so hard I almost swallowed my gum- aaaaaaaaaa
i swear if you do this again, i'll throw something at you martha
😂
No it’s because she’s having a threesome 😉
did dodie get a haircut or something? she looks a bit different
s just a bit
Yep I really love this pixie cut she’s done
js a lil bit tho, she looks a lot better tbh
no it's actually Cara de Levigne, have you not heard
Just a little xD
I'm recovering from anorexia and the last bit really helped give me the motivation I needed today, didn't expect it cause I haven't watched this before but very glad I heard it.
the fuck's happening
I love it
Lika the three stages of watching a dodie music vodeo
Lika it could be weird but I think I'm into it
Were you just at the DOAB tour videos???? I believe I've seen several of your comments there.
Have you tried the cake? It's good. Maybe your thinking you've already eaten, or I want to dance later and don't want to feel bloated. Maybe your thinking I am on a diet. But then how many times will you be offered a piece of cake as delicious as this. Perhaps, two or three times a year if your lucky. Over your course of your life maybe two hundred times. And how many times will you refuse? How many times will you go skinny dipping in the moonlight? Maybe seven, if your lucky. How many times will you lie on your back in the grass and watch the stars? How many times will you let yourself be completely overwhelmed by the great inconceivable expanse of the universe? There are only so many chances to take. And of course you don't know when it will end. So it all feels limitless.
Cermet Unknown is that a snippet from her new book?
Hans Mic Nooo! It's her speech at the end xD
damn cermit u right
You're*
the entire time i was just saying “but i want the cake”
sammy paul deserves to have some bloody good cake too for bringing this together

heCK

the end monologue caught me so off guard the first time i heard it but now i come back every so often to hear it it’s so sweet
What a beautiful wedding. What a beautiful wedding says the bridesmaids to the waiter
Here are the words in case you couldn't catch them
Have you tried the cake?
It's good.
Maybe you're thinking
"I've already eaten"
Or
"I want to dance later and don't want to feel bloated."
Maybe you're thinking
"I'm on a diet."
But then
How many times will you be offered a piece of cake as delicious as this?
Perhaps two or three times a year, if you're lucky.
Over the course of your life, maybe two hundred times.
And how many times will you refuse?
How many times will you go skinny dipping in the moonlight?
Maybe seven, if you're lucky.
How many times will you lie on your back in the grass and watch the stars?
How many times will you let yourself be completely overwhelmed by the great, inconceivable expanse of the universe?
There are only so many chances to take
And of course
You don't know when it will end
So it all feels
Limitless.
The cake is a lie. Hahahaha I'm portal trash
Thank you ^^ I couldn't catch some of the words
Missy 1 for a second I thought you were talking about gtlive hello neighbor
Missy 1 AH YES PORTAL IS AMAZING!

Loving the beard, Dodie.
I can’t believe all this time I thought this song was about being a third-wheel.
It fits
So well
But it’s
About threesomes I-
I can’t believe I tried to relate to this song at some point. It’s still a good song and hell catchy.
RIIIIGHT
THAT WAS EXACTLY ME UNTIL I HEARD THE ACOUSTIC VERSION
I just thought it was about a girl who wants her current bf and her ex-bf to meet because they're alike, so she thinks they would be good friends. It never occurred to me that it was about a girl arranging a threesome with her bf and her ex-bf.
Or it could be about polyamory? : 0
I think it’s about a couple who shags someone together and then ghosts them. But that’s just me 🤷🏻♀️
Guys, I think I saw this guy in my parents wedding photo...
hahahahahhhahah oh gosh amazing!!!
dodie looks different somehow... I think her hair is shorter?
Ruby I'm not sure it is, I think she's a little taller
not gonna lie I think she gained some weight man
i think it's just the way she's standing
Guy stop you're being mean it's just the top she's wearing
Minty Reads but tbf its a nice top, she looks nice in it
I'm so confused
but I think I'm into it
nerdysweaters ayeeeeee
I LOVE the aesthetics of all the people on set so much. Especially the guitar player and bass player
I hope the singer dude has kids who like dodie.
Wouldn't that be such a wtf moment to have your dad in a music video pretending to be dodie
2:35 is a picture of my uncle from 4 generations back the day of his wedding in 1917, before he was deployed, the picture was part of a documentary. :)
