THIS IS SO SWEET AND SAD AND NOT AT ALL WHAT I EXPECTED WOWOWOWOW
i love you honey
Ellie evans
I mean how could you not
Tessa Violet commented on a Dodie video?! Wtf!!!¡!!!
Omg Tessa Violet!!!!!!!!!! I love ur music!
Is there going to be a Tessa x Dodie song?? We all need that in our lives!
WHOA that woman looks *just* like me. wild!
ahhh we loved seeing you in the vid!!
huh weird
They should have just hired you, honestly
love u girly
I recognized you immediately! Amazing job!!
*This is the best her voice has ever sounded. It’s beautiful.*
*I listen to her voice while sleeping, it's so calm and peaceful*
Goosebumps.
*c h i l l s*
3:42
Dodie: "Could you love this"
Scene: Little Girl is stunned by her future self's actions
3:46
Dodie: "Will this one be right?"
Scene: Little Girl becomes afraid of her future self, scared when seeing that she'll kill 2 men in the future, and backs away.
3:52
Dodie: "Well if I'm being honest"
Scene: The Little Girl is acting on fear and her instincts. She runs away showing that she is rejecting her future self after seeing her murder 2 men, answering the previous 2 questions.
~That scene was so perfectly connected to the song i just had to recognize it~
Feel free to add any connecting bits to the list if you notice more!
@LilyGreenberg Helpful?
4:20 “If I’m being honest, alright then it’s not that bad.”
Her younger self returns the laser because she realizes it’s only for self defense.
wow i didn't even know that was supposed to be her future self.
0:21
When the whole beginning is telling that the girl knew she would be learning to love herself soon.
1:00
“I’m left a stuttering [teen]”, can’t say these are the real lyrics, but it sounds like it. Seeing her future self brought her so much joy and excitement.
2:00
With her cool laser beams and her arms knotted!
“Limbs all knotted, it don’t feel right”
I love your comment!
my favourite part is when the little girl returned the red part of the tool that was used for shooting because she understood that it was simply for self-defense. I don't know why- it just kind of always bugged me when characters got mad at other characters for using violence when there was no other way out of the situation
Yeah but in her defense she didn't see how it started so she thought she was needlessly attacking those guys to begin with.
also i think that since her mom was a policeman she didn’t like that she shot people and used violence and maybe when she saw her do that she was like wow ur just like me mom
I thought she was mad because she left out the window and was gonna leave her?? I mean i guess this makes more sense??
I feel the same frustration when someone gets mad at them and the person tells the worst possible short story of what happened ever as the explanation when if they would’ve explained in more depth, the other person would totally understand. Like just explain what happened better! Lol
there might be a discusion on the idea that "violence is never an option", in the sense that it is better after all to rather die than to hurt somone else, even if that hurt is caused in self defence. for a lot of people i imagine (i might be wrong though), there is never "no other way out of the situation"?
...i don't really know
This video looks like one of series of Doctor Who!
I'm in love with it!
Not the only one who thought it!!
I thought the same she reminds me about Martha so much
@@doreenmarie4938 Why??? I think this girl is something between Amy and Bill.
Yessssss
I was totally thinking this! I love it ♡
I want a whole ass novel based on this music video
YES!
Hi
At first I wasn’t sure about the music video. I, like many others had alway thought about this like a insecure person in a relationship, but the more I pay attention to the lyrics the more they make sense. And for me I feel like the question this video was asking was, “would my past self really approve of my current self?” “Do I deserve to have the approval of my younger self?
I think it’s about the future and the past, while the younger version wants to see what she’s grown into and what she’s become in the future the older one reflects on the past and her past self remembering when she was so innocent and “caring” after she kills the two men the younger on is scared of her action and is afraid that she would become just like her older self, but then at the end it’s her realizing that she’s not scared of what she’ll become in the future and that she is ok with growing up. This could be dodie trying to deal with her depression and derealization and always looking back in the past when she was also younger or innocent, and she feels as if she’s turned into someone her younger self would disapprove of. in the end it shows them both being ok with there current selfs and there past/future self. Just like dodie has come to understand that although they are both different her past and current self are different people and she has changed but that change is expected and good.

Oh my god, this song just suddenly became 1000x more relatable
Wow... I just cried, this is incredible
Riley Brinson 500th like
Well holy shit sticks.... So I followed the lyrics the first time and thought that the same. After reading this I watched it again and oh wow
I'm literally crying now. That's so fuckin clever 😱😍
Ari staring in a Dodie music video! Does it get any cooler than that?!
Who?
@@infinitelydeepdimple6245 Ari Fitz!!
'r'
Makes you question how wise and jaded you can be as time passes. Will your younger self be your friend or be scared of you if he/she met you back then? Also, It makes you wonder about the distance between the personalities we had in the past and the ones we have now; contemplate if they're still compatible, if not the same.
Mind blown.
Oh fuck god I’m so stupid I just thought she was a cool alien
I like your brain, Marc
@@winstonsmith11 Thanks :)
Ah. Okay yeah... that makes a lot more sense. I thought there was some ET shit going on here. Your interpretation is much better that my initial idea.
This video begs everyone to ask the question: Would younger you be happy and confident in the decisions you've made as an adult?
*oof*
People saying the video doesn't match the song: suprise! A song can be interpreted in many different ways! And in my opinion it does weirdly fit and it made me cry
I think its perfect.
Last time I was this early dodie wasn’t being honest
I wasn’t expecting to see you here 😂
Ooooofff
Or a bit too honest
lmaoooo
I want a wrist laser.
I don't really think I want to meet the future version of myself.
I love your channel! Plus I'm surprised you're here.
Surprising indeed! But good music brings everyone together 🤗
Every time dodie releases a music video I think it’s her best work
but she manages to top it *over and over again*
My interpretation: the video changes the song so that it’s now a conversation with her self. “Could you love this?” She’s asking her younger self would you have like this person I have become? Because I don’t. We try so hard to be the standardized “perfect” person. Putting our “best parts” out on display. Yet we loose who we really are. We forget the dreams we had as children we loose the passion. She’s pleading to her self. Desperately hoping her younger self thinks that she’s doing fine. That the past her likes what she’s become. And though it’s a bumpy ride, monsters are still out to get you, and you made mistakes, some more devastating than others, her younger self UNDERSTANDS. She puts back on the watch, signifying that she think future her is exactly what she want to be. Could you love this? This mess that I am right now? Where I’ve killed, crashed; I’m scarred, scared broken. I’m trying to pick myself up and I’m almost there. Could you love this? Is this version of me right now?
Yes.
DiddlySquat Love how you’ve worded this - you’re dead on

I literally bursted into tears reading thissss
Wow this literally made me cry
I had no idea this was coming out wtffff
OhGoshItsGabi it was released ages ago on Apple Music :)
how2escapeaesthetic the music video? Then I must be late asf lmao
@@gabim8105 no I think they mean the song 😊 this video is definitely new
OhGoshItsGabi dodie announced it on Twitter
Ikr! I was just like "Okay. Okay. I was not ready for this!"
I had to check to make sure I was in the right video
hi i love ur profile pic lol
Hello fellow phan
LMAOOO
This is absolutely terrific
That hug b r o k e me... I feel like most people know the technique of picturing yourself as child-you, as an empathy and self-forgiveness strategy, but I think the other way around can be even more effective -- maybe child-you would still be proud of where you've gotten to, would still see you as worthy of affection, of love, of success, despite all the things you see as failures. Your current image of yourself has been shaped by years of negative self-talk and unhealthy thought patterns and habits. If you go far enough back, there's probably a version of your brain that can still see all the good bits of you.
@Mackenzie F- What a unique take on the concept of "inner child." Thank-you for sharing :)
lowkey looks like a black mirror episode and i AM HERE FOR IT
this new doctor who ep is looking good
omg i was crying now im laughing
I love this song aND AHHH ARI!! AND AHHH DOM!!!
Hi.
One of my absolute favorite songs! So happy that it finally has a stunning music video :)
Can we all agree that this should’ve been the John Lewis advert this year
yessss this would've been so much better than the elton john one
eva yess
Farabee Pushpita Not meaning any offence genuine question this music video is beautiful but did anyone actually understand the meaning behind the advert because I thought it was quite nice?
I was literally just about to comment how this felt like a John Lewis advert omg
This is absolutely gorgeous, cool, creative, interesting and just a lot of things and feelings 😭😍
I am just so proud of Dodie, l
look what our girl has accomplished!!
*Lyrics*
.....
[Verse 1]
I was told this is when I would start loving myself
Flirting's delicious, proved to be beneficial for mental health
All of my best bits pulled forward, collected, displayed
But sadly I just think that I was disgusting today
[Pre-Chorus]
You blew me up like a big balloon far too soon
I'm left a stuttering teen
How did I get here?
It's all so quick, and I feel sick
Red pushing down on the green
[Chorus]
Could you love this?
Will this one be right?
Well, if I'm being honest
I'm hoping it might
Could you love this?
Did you plan to fall?
Well, if I'm being honest
Oh, I bet it's not that at all
[Verse 2]
Hope has a cost
Keeping all fingers crossed and held tight
But I look idiotic with my limbs all knotted
It don't feel right
Truly you've shaken me, and I think you like how I plead
But I have a hunch that that's all you wanted from me
[Pre-Chorus]
You blew me up like a big balloon far too soon
Holding my breath makes me choke
How did I get here?
It's all so quick, and I feel sick
I’m used to being a joke
[Chorus]
Could you love this?
Will this one be right?
Well, if I'm being honest
I'm hoping it might
Could you love this?
Did you plan to fall?
Well, if I'm being honest
Oh, I bet it's not that at all
[Bridge]

[Chorus]
Could you love this?
Will this one be right?
Well, if I'm being honest

If I’m being honest
Well, if I’m being honest
Oh, I bet it's not that at all

You had some mistakes, I copied the lyrics below from google lyrics & listened along

OH MY GOD PEOPLE OF COLOUR - NO - WOMEN OF COLOUR, THANK YOU DODIE & DOM & EVERYONE ELSE, it's so good to see me represented onscreen
Rea Keebz as a woman of color as well... THANK YOU DODIE
Yes bless her freaking soul, I'm living for the melanin and how casual she was about having this represent her music. She did it so poetically and effortlessly!!
I know, right??
I love it that there is representation but im also sad that im happy about it bc that means its not "normal" :/
@Farabee Pushpita I think so too!💗
THE LITTLE GIRL IS WEARING JO JO SIWA SHOES I CANNOT
OMG REALLY SKSKSK
REALLY ICONIC
Lol nice
woahhhhhhh I never would of thought of the song from this POV. I always thought of it as an insecure person not knowing if the person their in a relationship with actually enjoys whats happening between them. (which is, y'know, mood)
But to think of it as a "Do you actually like these gadgets and spacy things? Im not just a weirdo to you? Could you love this?" and from more of a sisterly POV is so cute im going to cry. Dodie ur music and ideas are beautiful ;_;
It's her future self
I was like... Why does that guy she's shooting look like Dom Fera?
At the end: IT WAS DOM FERA
there goes dodie making me cry at seven in the morning
This is really amazing! When I first heard the song, I kind of imagined in a romantic context (relationships and illusions of people not being what you think they are etc), and I hadn't even considered how it could also portray friendship or even a relationship that transcends time! You guys did a really great job of the music video and it suits dodie's song amazingly
Well the actual song is written about romance though
At first, this didn’t feel very ‘Dodie’. But sure enough, I can feel the thought and beauty that went into making this video. Another truly beautiful concept that I never would have pinned to this angelic lullaby.
*the amount of love i have for this woman is insane*
the acting, the colours, the song- everything. im in a little bit of love.
I love that the "Could you love this" goes after she shoots down the guys who attacked her and the little girl runs away. You can just see it in the woman's eyes that she is disgusted with herself. Omg the acting and the directing and all the crew did an amazing job.
This is such a great representation of the song. Her child self is right to be hopeful and believe the best in people. But also, her older self is right to protect herself from harm. And that's the main tension in the song - trust or protection? Also I love the references to red and green throughout.
1. What the hell am I watching
2. Wait, why are the actors so good?
3. Omg, why am I crying?
4. This was the most wonderful thing that has ever existed
one day we’ll just see dodie credited for a pixar movie and we’ll just know
This is the truth
I got the feels when older self got a hug from younger self and they both visited her childhood room. Which reminded me of dodie's struggles with DDD. Sammy was right, lasers and self reflection. The edits are timed beautifully. Dom and Tim make a cameo which that segment made me reminded of dom's Content short. Which dodie made a song off that. This is turning into a loop. Holy shnikes! A beautiful video, a beautiful song. Big hugs, big love all around!
@@audrey9165 I miss acronym since it was off the top of my head. It's DDD. Depersonalization-Derealization Disorder.
I know what ddd is but can u tell me what happens
Literally cried at that part. I can't imagine how I would react meeting my younger self and seeing my old room and old things. I'm fairly young yet but the idea of that nostalgia just hit too hard... ToT
@@thomasthetrain692 dodie had some event happen in her life at 16 yrs old that she developed her current conditions. She has never spoken about specifics, which I get, but she has spoken about how she feels and also in her book, "Secrets for the Mad.".
@@DawnStarLightning It comes down to what do you really want to physically save vs just remember. It's a struggle since the beginning of time.
who else is crying in the club rn. This was just so phenomenal
o/ I am also crying pretty hard rn!
The soft sound of Dodie's voice and the hard heavy presence of Ari. It's an outstanding balance. Love it.
I loved this. Totally not what I would’ve expected, but it works so well! I love the doctor who vibes. Good on ya, Dodie.
dodie never fails to bring weird but meaningful content. I'm impressed!
I'm not crying I just have something in my eye
* sobs uncontrollably *
i love the way she says "i'm" in "if i'm being honest"
This blew me away!! Could be a full length film tbh.
Honestly, someone NEEDS to get on that.
If I'm being honest, I definitely agree with you...
Joselin I’d watch it.
This was totally not what i was expecting but totally amazing! It just brings this already incredible song to a new level oh i love it!
I love how the music video make the song about how growing up makes you essentially a stranger to who you were as a kid, and the girl is learning to understand herself, accept herself, asking herself, “could you love this?”
??? i don't understand but it's so beautiful i'm crying
she and her team somehow manage to produce such creative videos oh my
she stated in her instagram stories that it was not her who created the concept it was dom and the rest of the crew !! :-)
Interpretation: the woman is the girl who travelled back in time (as seen with the cut and scar + birthmark) and the whole song is rly about self-acceptance and understanding?
yes I think so too
It’s not an interpretation it’s what is literally happening in the video omg
Lauren TH-cam sounds feasible
then what does "flirting is delicious" imply???
Watching this the second time is so powerful. Knowing they're both the same person, you see the growth of learning to love yourself, of understanding your past self (and in this case, your future self as well) and accepting that.
What I love about Dodie music videos is that it's usually never Dodie just lip syncing her songs. It's like a movie. It tells a story different from what would be expected. The music can be a separate story from the video, but they both fit very well with each other at the same time. Songs all mean something different to us, and the music videos help introduce a new interpretation to what we already think.
the acting in this is outstanding, try and prove me wrong
A&A correction, EVERYTHING in this is outstanding
I would, but I'd be going against the facts and I'm a well educated woman that knows talent when I see it.
ninyea TRUE
tHIS IS LOVELY IT COULD BE A FILM
I love how all of Dodie’s music videos have a completely different story from each other and they’re all so unique and well made
EVERYTIME I watch this, I cry. Sometimes I'll watch just to understand what my inner child's feeling about what I look like on that given day. It works. Puts me in contact to what's honest and pure somewhere inside of me and lights the way to find whatever I'm looking for.
This is a great fucking video Dodie, I love this so much. I’m crying 😭 I’m so proud of her.
This video is not what I expected at all but agh I loved it sm
Dodie and Dom creating things together is pure magic
all in all, i don't find many words to describe the beauty of this; let me just say: this is art and the soft voice of dodie giving the feels for this amazing thing is just so lovely. i am in love
DODIE ITS LITERALLY 3AM
edit: ya'll i know its not 3am for dodie but i'm just saying that for me it's 3am & i wasn't expecting this beautiful masterpiece
Lol it's 12 PM here
Its 6 am here, also I love your profile pic
Grace the geek uwu thank youuu & i was just watching dan and phil and didn't even think dodie was gonna upload at 3 in the morning haha
It's 11pm fools
Grace the geek yeah it’s 6 am here lol
Why did I get almost teary over this space friendship? So cute.
Wow! I am a very, very proud man, Poppa and husband. The lil girl is my daughter and the Mother playing the cop is my wife. I had the pleasure of meeting Tim, Dom & the crew. Everyone was super nice super patient and super professional. The end product looks amazing! Aww Oh yeah - Ari, Raymond says, Hi :) Dear Dodie - If I'm Being Honest. the song is great! Thank you for putting a smile on face.
This is beautiful. I don’t know how it works and it definitely wasn’t what I expected but it does and it’s full of such joy and love and pain and just plain emotion. So deep and impactful and I’m so, so proud of you Dodie.
dodie this is literally a masterpiece im crying in the club rn
big mood
wooo love crying when my house is full of people!1!1! this is honestly so amazing and im falling more and more in love with dodie each video i see and each song i hear
Dodie couldn’t make more perfect music if she tried.
*Yet she gets better every time*
Doctor Who vibes? Just me? Not the usual dodie but still beautiful xx
yes for the doctor who vibes
Not just you
yes!!
1:42 is that a vape with electrical wires sticky taped to it?
You have created a paradox:
The music is so good it’s gunna kill me,
But I can’t live without it!
I love how the video ties in with the song more than you realise at first, especially the line about loving yourself
Why is this so sci fi and makes me cry and feel so much at the same time
not what i expected for this music video but so so creative and wonderfully made. thanks dodie.
I just ugly cried. I went through a lot as a kid. Abuse, trauma, and grief. Things that I'm actually addressing now with the first therapist who has ever actually helped me. The idea of facing myself as a child, seeing the good and the bad...that shit hits hard. But now I imagine doing that and helping...undoing some of the damage that was done and healing. This is the most powerful music video I've ever seen. I found this channel because of the Panic covers, but I'm definitely a new subscriber and fan. Holy shit...
the most honest and sincere piece of art preaching of self-love and acceptance. i cant put into words how much this comforts and means to me and probably so many other teens. Thank you so much dodie and dom xx
At first I couldn’t I didn’t like the combination of the music with the story, but as the story continued it actually started to make a lot of sense with the song and now I absolutely loved it. Great job with this song dodie and Dom for this beautiful video ❤️❤️❤️
Dear universe, I would really like an inter-dimensional companion now. Please and thank you.
MiraBethy That would be wonderful. ❤
A time lord specifically. Can i have a time lord pls
Easy, just discover a time travel device and you will always have had a time travelling companion.
I love this for so many reasons, one of them being that the video fits the song perfectly but in a different enough way to what I'd expect that I'm able to hold it and my own personal meaning for the song side by side without diminishing either.
THE SONG IS TO HERSELF THATS SO BEAUTIFUL ITS ABOUT WANTING TO ACCEPT YOURSELF WHEN YOUR OLDER
Wow The 1975 and dodie bringing out new content all in one day?? Yes PLEASE
Scarlet Snow Hahaha it's a good day to die happily.
@@Sk8kuran Honestly 😭💖
@@Sk8kuran and tessa
Scarlet Snow YES
WTF! Too Tessa? I can't with more tears 😭
The little girl is too adorable
This whole thing was so beautiful, this is one of my favourite Dodie songs. As it went on I started feeling tears welling up in my eyes out of nowhere, wasn't expecting it to make me emotional! I think my mind started connecting the dots that this was about self acceptance before I even realized it. And reading the comments expanding the meaning kept hitting me more. So deep and absolutely stunning ✨
why am I sobbing? dodie this song and video are absolutely stunning. i’m so in love with this song and it’s message!
i have....no words
TO EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I LOVE THIS
I did not expect this at ALL, but the wonderful team somehow made it work and brought a new level meaning to the song
I love Ari and Dodie so together this is really a dream come true
dodie and tessa posting back to back music videos???? oml we stan queens
i love this video but i don’t quite understand how they fit together, i’m probably just gonna need to think about it some more
Yeah
it's supposed to be her and her older self
LAFofficial yeah that’s what I was thinking too
It's her future self
read some of the other comments - i think the video kind of reworks the song into rather than being about a person wondering if a significant other could love them, wondering if their childhood self could love them. the video
is a cool, sci-fi way to demonstrate someone meeting their younger self and wondering if they’ve grown up to be the person they’d hoped they would
Dodie its to early to cry in the morning stoooppp
Please keep going this is the only thing keeping me alive at the moment thank you so much I love you and I love this.
Loralei Victoria please get yourself help in some way bc you truly deserve to live and feel happy. I’ve had trouble with the term getting help before bc I’ve worried that that would mean that I was somehow not good enough yet sometimes honestly the help and suggestions from someone like a therapist can even sound simple but really truly helpful, & not something I’d do without their help bc they can help you. i’m rooting so much for you
& also of course if you want to you can message me more; i know I don’t know everything but if I can help I want t
winter green you are a beautiful soul. Thank you for the tips. ❤️❤️
Okay, that was a really fast emotional journey. I started out thinking “this is really weird but okay” . Then I was accepting, then smiling, then finding it heartwarming, then both moved and nostalgic, and finally ended with a few actual tears in my eyes. VERY unexpected experience. 👍❤️
This was such a surprise with the whole plot, starting with the opening scene - it's so different but I love this!!
the acting and the story are so good and the song is beautiful but i feel like the styles don’t work well together, not the genres but the way the cinematography doesnt really go with the way dodie played it if that makes sense. Im not sure. Where are the film students please explain
(thanks for so many likes)
Film student here! Sometimes directors make the active choice to juxtapose two features of a project (in this cause sound and cinematography) to create a reaction from the audience. It may have been to create a more other-worldly effect, almost like the song applies to the universe these characters are in differently: We could see it as a question of love where they see it as a question of friendship: would you still be friends with me? Would you still be on my team? The contrast of the crazy cinematography with a calm song kind of makes the viewer question the relationship of the two girls and if all is as it seems (we then see the answer at the end when she takes a shot at the men, and the girl sees,harking back to “could you love this?”). The other worldly effects and cinematography almost emphasise the girls decision to still see the older woman as a friend as we can physically see her passing back the glowing cartridge. The look kinda exaggerates the songs message?? This is literally just me throwing out ideas, I’m not sure how coherent it is!!
Willow A OH WOW THANK YOU SO MUCH
Yea I get you completely
I love this response!!! Also, I just wanted to add that Dodie deals with Depersonalization and derealization. It could very well be a way to communicate how that feels at times. Being disconnected from the world, but still tied to it, much like the ideas are very different between the cinematography and music, but they are nonetheless tied together. I'm not sure if that makes sense either, but it's my way of viewing it.
MadGracie Bell oh thats a good explanation too
I love these theories
I am in love with the silent credits
EVERY time I watch one of Dodie’s videos for the first time, I cccrrrryyyyy. I appreciate/love her so much.
this was unexpected, but somehow it still portrays the emotions of the song. kudos to whoever edited this because the scenes fit perfectly with the music
Reminds me of Playground ;-; yaaassss
Yessss
