Dodie idk if you know this but with the last five years Cathy tells the story backwards and Jamie tells the story forwards. The last five years is an amazing musical and the real Broadway version only has the two actors and no other characters.
+doddleoddle also Dodie did you hear about the new West End production? It's going to have Samantha Barks in it and is going to be on in November I think?
Can you please do a video analysing "the last five years" because I freaking love that musical I was literally JUST singing "see I'm smiling" I'm so obsessed
Second this. JRB is brilliant, and that show is brilliant. I spend a lot of time thinking about it, especially the things that were willfully changes from the stage show to the movie to change the audience reaction. If you love TL5Y, look up the original cast album with Norbert Leo Butz and Sherie Rene Scott. SRS blows Anna Kendrick away!
+Ryan Pratt thanks so much for the recommendation :) I've listened to some of the original cast and I think they're great! To me both casts are amazing in their own way and really do the story justice. Glad to meet another musical theatre nerd and thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment
+Ryan Pratt YESYESYES!!! i'm obsessed with the storyline and movie but even more with the musical because Sherie Rene Scott is incredible and i looove her voice.
+DowzerWTP72 yes, it is vedj lol i was just saying that every time dodie does a thing where she vlogs every day in whatever month it may be, it makes me really happy. soz for the misunderstanding XD
When you mentioned the guy in the Uber, I honestly thought he would recognise you and be like, "Oh, I've seen you! You're the girl that scoots past the Starbucks!'
Oi you aspiring VEGGIE top tip for a meanly cooked salad: chop up plenty of chopped sweet onion in a bowl and sprinkle with sea/rock salt; toss the bowl in a manner to integrate the salt well into the onion (a bit like sand and cement). Then add all your favourites : cherry tomatoes, grated apple, grated carrot, very thinly sliced cucumber, avocado, kalamata olives, etc. Add suitable quantity of olive oil; toss generously until everything is slimey with the oil - yum slithers of very thin cucumber coated in olive oil - then add your favourite lettuce leaves and toss again until the leaves are equally slimey. Double yum yum. Enjoy
I adore The Last Five Years (though I prefer the OBC to the movie cast) and I know that everyone is suggesting Hamilton (which I love) so I thought I'd suggest another musical. You probably won't read this but maybe other people will? Idk. Anyway you should 100% listen to Next To Normal. It's such a realistic depiction of depression and mental illness, the music and lyrics are so powerful and it's changed me so much. Plus it's got Aaron Tveit in it. How could you not love it?
omg whitout the little clip I wouldn't have known what was your interpretetation of "scooter" since here it's only referring to tiny motorbikes! (The other one being called "trottinette")
(About the not wearing a bra thing) Gaaah, leave your judgements at the door if you're going to read this. I'm so glad that women feel so free and beautiful (which they are) not wearing a bra and wearing little bralette things. That's really awesome and loads of youtubers have been doing that. But personally I have really big boobs, so not wearing a bra would be impossible and even if I dad everyone would stare at me and I would hate the way I looked. I've always been so self conscious about my boobs and still am. And the youtubers I've seen not wear bras have all had very small breasts. But with all these youtubers not wearing bras and making videos about it has led me to feel so jealous of them. And hate how jealous I've become. This sounds very cliche, but I've never been the type to be jealous. I feel so ashamed of myself, the way I'm feeling. I think I just repressed all these feelings I had of hatred for my big boobs and now that all the no bras movement has been very present, it's forced me to face my own problems. Oh how I wish, wish, wish my boobs were smaller. All my friends envy me but they never understand when I try to explain why it's such a burden. I feel like I can't be like everyone else, and be cute and youthful. I'm 15, it's not fair. I can't wear anything little and cute because my boobs just overtake and ruin everything. Can anyone give me some advice or even just tell me they're in the same situation. I'm sorry I've rambled so much, this probably is of topic and no one gives a shit. I just felt like I had to express myself at some point or I would burst.
Okay I never do these kinda things but no one else's commented thus far so here goes nothing. I'd really love to give you advice but unfortunately I myself have very small boobs so I'm probably not the right person. However! I think no matter if wether or not you're wearing a bra: you're beautiful and shouldn't hate the way you look under any circumstances! Even though I'm not in the same situation as you, I do understand how difficult this must be for you. If I can say one thing it's that everything'll get easier as soon as you start accepting/ loving the way you are. Trust me! I used to hate having small boobs and being small in general. But now that I've learned to love the perks, it's actually quite nice living in my body. Try it, it won't do you any harm I promise! And never forget: there always will be people who love you no matter what! Okay this turned into a ramble and it probably wasn't even useful whatsoever ... Aaanyway I hope I didn't offend you or anyone for that matter. Have a lovely week and good luck! :)
I understand your feelings. I have very big boobs myself and it can be kind of annoying when everybody else is going braless. But you shouldn't feel insecure about it, your body is great. And it's the only one you get. So appreciate your body for what it is. And remember, you are your harshest critic.
+April Anastasia Maybe you should reply to people more often because your very good at it. Thank you very much for your comment, it really did help. You seem like a lovely person and it's always nice to have a view on the matter from someone that's in the opposite situation. I will try to be less critical of myself but it can be so hard sometimes. But it's people like you who remind me that everyone is beautiful. Thank you. Xx
+Ella Gabbar Well would you look at that. Now you made me smile :) Thanks I guess I'll try it more often then xx and I get you, it's tough and it took me years! But you're still young - you've got plenty of time xx
I'm so proud of you and your musical obsession. I personally am not a fan of TLFY plot wise because I don't like shows that aren't in chronological order, but Jason Robert Brown's score is PHENOMENAL. OMG I COULD LISTEN TO IT FOREVER.
Also, hi, I'm back, cause I'm a nerd, but I wanted to say that the plot is weird because Casey is living the relationship backwards and Jamie is living it forwards, and they have one duet in the middle at their wedding.
I'm trying to go vegetarian too! I think the trick is to do it in tiny baby steps if you're finding it hard. First I started cutting down the amount of meat I ate, but I still ate fish. As I cut meat out gradually, I found that I didn't miss it that much. Chicken isn't even that nice, you know? Like without seasoning or fancy sauces its actually really bland. Now that I've stopped eating meat I'm trying to cut out fish too so I can become fully vegetarian and not just pescatarian. And I haven't even tried making lentil bolognese or anything yet, so I'm really excited to do that! I really like not eating meat because you just feel like, heck yeah, I'm saving the planet!
You're so right! Baby steps is what important it took me months but I'm fully vegan and feel so cool about it :) also lentil Bolognese is the bomb I made it and it was so fucking good I highly recommend :D
+emma yeah I really need to cook some nice vegetarian dishes. I've just been surviving on the same dishes like ravioli for a couple months because I didn't have the time to make anything nice, so I haven't even tried any of the good stuff yet!
+Holly Bunny I tried putting vegetarian sausages in pasta with a sauce once and they tasted just like sausages! So yeah, who even needs meat? But yeah marshmallows are gonna be hard for me as well, at least you can buy vegetarian marshmallows in some shops!
If you are looking for some yummy food check out hot for food on youtube. they are actually vegan but it`s the best recipes I've ever tried like burgers and pasta and all kinds of delicious stuff ;)
I use an iPod primarily do TH-cam and Pandora, makes it easier to manage tasks on my phone. Plus I watch all of her videos so the longer battery life is helpful
I don't know if you've ever seen or listened to RENT but the whole concept of it is about how the past and future don't exist so we need to focus on finding fulfilment and happiness in the present moment. The line 'no day but today' is repeated throughout and lines such as 'there's only us, there's only this, forget regret, or life is yours to miss' really sum it up! I'd really recommend the song 'life support' and 'another day'. It seems kinda relevant to you saying you look for happiness in the past and the future, not the present!!
Actually the point of it is to not eat meat because you think it's wrong. It's a belief, not a diet. And "slipping up" would just... Defeat the point entirely.
It’s so strange watching this back because I just went through the same thing with last five years. I watched it in I think 2016 and hated it but I just recently listened to it and holy shit it’s SO G O O D
I LOVE The Last Five Years. I BAWLED the first time I saw it. Also, all the things you said about it are things I've tried to explain to my friends who've never seen it, haha. I'm like, "The writing is genius! There are so many moments that echo each other in all of the different songs!" And they're like, "Um, okay, cool."
Whenever I make noodles like that I love to add some tofu! Chop tofu into cubes, coat it in cornflour and salt, cook it in a pan with a little bit of oil and stir it into your noodles at the end- it tastes really ice I promise!
Thank you, for being so amazing. You scoot places and set realistic, healthy goals and wear things I wish I could wear and you take what you are given and do amazing things. And I know you're not always in the best mental space but the fact that you can still be so amazing just inspires me to try harder. Thank you, you help me in more ways than you know. And this probably sounds ridiculous because I don't really know you, but from what I see, it gives me hope. You give me hope, that maybe the future, my future, isn't bad. That maybe there is something good coming. I can't thank you enough for everything. I have anxiety and it has manifested into insomnia so most nights I get 2 hours of sleep if I'm lucky (after a few days I basically pass out for 12-15 hours) but sometimes your music and your voice (that sounds creepy I'm sorry) is the only thing that can get me to sleep at all. You have set a level of success and hope for me. I appreciate it so much. Thank you, thank you so much.
+doddleoddle if you go to 'see I'm smiling' on TH-cam so many of the comments reference Dodie and the one's that don't are from people wondering who is this Dodie with the excellent taste
I just re-watched several of your more casual/talk videos, and was able to take a look at how many new-different-curious-tiny things that you introduce. I can really relate to this, because I do this as well. Most of the time though, others bring it up in a negative way - that it's wishy-washy and demonstrates a lack of commitment to flit back and forth between so many "hobbies" while still "failing" to stay present, grounded, and stable long term. I've only just hardly realized that this isn't a negative thing and been able to self-identify these behaviors in a more positive light. This is just how some of us practice self care. For me, I need a lot of things to occupy my mind and body with. I need to try things, research things, go places, commit to things for a while and find something else when it stops being something that feels good, or when it's all just too draining and I need to circle back to tiny acts of self care. I watch your videos a lot as a way to reflect and self identify with reference to another girl holding a musical instrument or paint brush. Thanks, Dodie.
The Last Five Years is so freaking good. So. good. The song you mentioned is my favorite. And A.Kendrick is unbelievably fantastic. Also, please do a cover of a song from this. Give it that dodie spin and make it delicious
I LOVE THE LAST FIVE YEARS! It's amazing how they show Cathys story (her songs) from the end to the beginning, but shows Jamie's story oppositely. And I totally agree with the parallel lyricism.
I know my sister like I know my own MIND you will never FIND anyone as TRUSTING or as KIND I love my sister more than anything in this LIFE I will choose her happiness over MINE every TIME
I used your asmr video "take a moment" to sort of meditate. So everytime i feel overwelmed or like I can't do anything I'll play the video close my eyes and force myself to pay attention ONLY to what your saying. Sometimes I'll repeat key words out loud (ex: I'm kind and I'm beautiful)
OKAY THE LAST FIVE YEARS actually is the best and i absolutely LOVE it and just they use the same melodies in different parts of the soundtrack to foreshadow and also like tell you things that the characters don't know and i love every single part of it ugh SO GOOD
THE LAST FIVE YEARS IS MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE MUSICAL GAAHH I LOVE IT. my entire family is annoyed with me because I'm constantly playing it for them and explaining how everything links and analysing every lyric. my mom got annoyed because I kept talking when I made her watch the movie with me lol. PLEASE DO A COVER DODES
I feel the same about the last five years omg both soundtracks (Broadway and movie) are being constantly played in my house. It's such an awesome musical omg. Please cover a song from the show!!!! Still hurting??
I've been having a bit of a "I have so much to do but not right now and I need to plan things but how" day and you've just inspired me so much with the bullet journaling and meditating and being so wonderful on a personal level and now I feel like it's okay to feel this way and I feel like I can actually cope, so thank you for that xx
You should DEFINITELY make a video about The Last Five Years (& a cover PLEASE!) I LOVE that musical & I would really like to know your thoughts about it (in more depth) Thank you 🙂
ALSO you should listen to the original cast recording instead of the soundtrack of the movie because it's so much better (in my opinion)... although Jeremy Jordan does an marvelous job interpreting Jamie 💛
goddamnit, everyone I love is going braless and it makes me so jealous cuz I don't have the confidence to do it right now, cuz I feel like my boobs are too big to go without one, even though they really probably aren't, but gosh dang it i'm gonna get past stupid insecurities and DO THIS THANG!! :D
Maybe go for a padded brallete or non underwired bra ! I feel like they are the perfect in between If you have bigger boobs but want to try going braless :)
You've gained a new subscriber simply from people commenting about you on the See I'm Smiling youtube video! Everyone was talking about 'Dodie' and I was like "I have to check this youtuber out" and as a die hard fan of The Last Five Years, I loved everything you said. So keep being you Dodie. You are awesome!!!
Oh, PLEASE listen to the original cast recording of The Last Five Years!! With Norbert Leo Butz (Fiero from Wicked!!) and Sherie Scott, it is SO BEAUTIFUL and gives a very different (and I personally find, far better) feel of the musical than what the film did. The film didn't do it justice!! But so so happy you found this gorgeous show!
I remember you mentioned the bullet journal in a video some time ago, and then recently it popped up again somewhere and I decided to check it out. And OMG I love it! I haven't used it for that long, maybe two weeks now, but I have become so much more productive and I feel much more efficient than before. I get a little kick out of it whenever I can cross out a completed task, and it's so nice to see the monthly task list get more and more crosses. I'm not good with technology. It's like the things I jot down on my phone don't stick as well as when I handwrite it on paper. I'm so happy I learned about bullet journaling! So thank you for planting the seed in my brain! :)
DODIE THE LAST YEAR FIVE YEARS IS MY FAVORITE MUSICAL OH MY GOSH THIS IS INCREDIBLE IVE WATCHED IT AN UNCOUNTABLE AMOUNT OF TIMES AND IM SO HAPPY THAT YOU'VE ENJOYED IT AND NOW SOMEONE ELSE UNDERSTANDS MY LOVE FOR IT
I thought you said "I don't wear brows" and I was like what ... Surely they aren't natural? Wow, I want them ... Then you showed a bra and I understood
Cover Jamie Is Oveeeer and Jamie Is Goooone like the sad heartbreaking one right at the beginning/ end and use some twinkly piano chords I reckon it would sound so so so beautiful with your voice xxx
Alright... did no one else pause and read at 5:01 it says "Is a book coming? Email back Sara" YES DODIE MAKE A BOOK WRITE A BOOK YOU CAN DO IT PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN
This is the first time I hear a convincing/revealing opinion about *what* meditation is -- I think the "grounding you to the present" explanation is incredibly accurate or it at least constitutes the most ideal possible thing to achieve through meditation. So thank you for that, you're much better than any random article on the matter I've ever read!
"i pay my taxes, i also scoot places"- i hope my future is this bright
HI CONAN I LOVE YOU
CONE!! I love you so much💛
Well, is it? :)
something like that : )
KING
"I pay my taxes, I also skoot places."
Dodie you are the person I aspire to be
:D
+doddleoddle ilysm❤
+doddleoddle don't worry Dodie skooters are cool
I was going to comment this 😂
{unused acc.} I
"i beg your pardon? u wot m8?" british person is british 3:51
NEVER apologize for a "long" video because I could watch a video of yours for HOURS!
That’s true I love when dodie releases a video that’s like 10 minutes long.
Dodie idk if you know this but with the last five years Cathy tells the story backwards and Jamie tells the story forwards. The last five years is an amazing musical and the real Broadway version only has the two actors and no other characters.
oh OH
+doddleoddle also Dodie did you hear about the new West End production? It's going to have Samantha Barks in it and is going to be on in November I think?
Can you please do a video analysing "the last five years" because I freaking love that musical I was literally JUST singing "see I'm smiling" I'm so obsessed
Oh and yes please please please please cover one of the songs
Second this. JRB is brilliant, and that show is brilliant. I spend a lot of time thinking about it, especially the things that were willfully changes from the stage show to the movie to change the audience reaction.
If you love TL5Y, look up the original cast album with Norbert Leo Butz and Sherie Rene Scott. SRS blows Anna Kendrick away!
+Ryan Pratt thanks so much for the recommendation :) I've listened to some of the original cast and I think they're great! To me both casts are amazing in their own way and really do the story justice. Glad to meet another musical theatre nerd and thanks for taking the time to reply to my comment
+Ryan Pratt YESYESYES!!! i'm obsessed with the storyline and movie but even more with the musical because Sherie Rene Scott is incredible and i looove her voice.

+DowzerWTP72 yes, it is vedj lol i was just saying that every time dodie does a thing where she vlogs every day in whatever month it may be, it makes me really happy. soz for the misunderstanding XD
+DowzerWTP72 thanks for being helpful though!
+kira howlter Hehe no my fault :)
Just out of curiosity, did you edit the original, or am I just going loopy?!
When you mentioned the guy in the Uber, I honestly thought he would recognise you and be like, "Oh, I've seen you! You're the girl that scoots past the Starbucks!'
hAHHAhaHA
"I mourning over a relationship that isn't even real" ha ha low laughter from the book fandom
bit random: But will you do the bullet journal vid

Lebene Drury yeeesssss omg this would be so cute
PLEASE DO A BULLET JOURNALLING VIDEO DODIE

PLEASE DO YOUR OWN MEDITATION SESSION PLEASEEEEEEEEEE YOUR VOICE IN YOUR ASMR IS SO CALMING THE MEDIDATION WOULD BE SOOOO REALAXING

yes yes yes yes!
I still have a scooter too and Im 20. Youre not alone
People think Im a child too
I am a short adult and am using the same scooter as when I was like 9 . it's hard to feel self conscious when you're having so much fun
Emmy Engström pshhh you're fine, I'm a professional scooter rider!
omg whitout the little clip I wouldn't have known what was your interpretetation of "scooter" since here it's only referring to tiny motorbikes! (The other one being called "trottinette")
I LOVE THE LAST FIVE YEARS OHHMYGODDD (also a v good musical is Next to Normal, i love it so much 10/10)
Its kind of intense and emotional though, so I suggest to read up on it before :)
YES SUCH GOOD
YESSS NEXT TO NORMAL IS MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE MUSICAL
where can you watch it?
The Last Five Years is on Netflix and you can find the full Next to Normal on youtube. :))))) They're both amazingggg
"I'm mourning over a relationship that isn't real..."
*brings you're just a dream 2011 vibes*

I LOVE your longer rambling videos they're just so nice to watch
dodie loves the last five years
ive never been so in love
DO A COVER OF A PART OF THAT OR STILL HURTING UGH
Dodie, you should listen to hamilton!!!! I'm obsessed like you are with the last five years
you talk "NON-STOP" 😉
ayeeeee you got it
my name is Alexander Hamilton 😱❤
Non stop ayyyyyyy
ahh I love Hamilton! I can't wait to check out the last five years!!
I'm so proud of you and your musical obsession. I personally am not a fan of TLFY plot wise because I don't like shows that aren't in chronological order, but Jason Robert Brown's score is PHENOMENAL. OMG I COULD LISTEN TO IT FOREVER.
Also, hi, I'm back, cause I'm a nerd, but I wanted to say that the plot is weird because Casey is living the relationship backwards and Jamie is living it forwards, and they have one duet in the middle at their wedding.

YES DODIE I USE AN IPOD DONT QUESTION ME
Us IPod users, we must stick together......ohana means family
+Cjc545 this comment made my day idk why 😂❤
YES IPOD FAMILY UNITE!!!!!
I use an iPod primarily do TH-cam and Pandora, makes it easier to manage tasks on my phone. Plus I watch all of her videos so the longer battery life is helpful
My Netflix and TH-cam-ing is usually done on the pod cause im cool.........you know I'm especially down with the kids cause I said pod.......word...
the relationship from the last five years is ACTUALLY based off of the composer, Jason Robert Brown, and his marriage. so it WAS a true story, dodie!
If you like The Last Five Years, check out Songs For A New World, it's written by the same guy and it's lovely :)
OOOH THANK U
doddleoddle I'm currently working on "Stars And The Moon" for uni auditions!
I second this!
I also quite enjoy 13, Parade is great too - Jason Robert Brown is just fab in general!
Jason Robert Brown also wrote 'Parade' which is wayyyyy different, but it's still so good. Definitely a favorite of mine
Just realised you look like younger Matilda in the pancakes scene in this video!!!!! Blue bow and that top 👌
I HAVE THE SAME BRA AS DODIE CLARK
EXCUSE ME WHILE I SCREAM FOR TWO HOURS
YOU ARE ON A DIFFERENT LEVEL OF CONNECTION TO HER
I don't know if you've ever seen or listened to RENT but the whole concept of it is about how the past and future don't exist so we need to focus on finding fulfilment and happiness in the present moment. The line 'no day but today' is repeated throughout and lines such as 'there's only us, there's only this, forget regret, or life is yours to miss' really sum it up! I'd really recommend the song 'life support' and 'another day'. It seems kinda relevant to you saying you look for happiness in the past and the future, not the present!!
sorry for the essay haha, i just bloody love RENT
I LOVE your top in the clip with the scooter! It suits you really well :)
**and all the other scenes your wearing it lol xxx
Dodie, I would absolutely LOVE to see more cooking/recipes from you because that was brilliant
Vegetarian is a diet, not a religion. It's ok to slip up😊
Actually the point of it is to not eat meat because you think it's wrong. It's a belief, not a diet. And "slipping up" would just... Defeat the point entirely.
+Simple things Confuse me Its something you do to stick to, not to pick and choose when you do it.
Not when you get so stressed about your mistakes that you give up.
^_^
it's not really a diet, it goes beyond that because for most people it's about ethics
You had me at "The last five years", now I'm suscribed. (SEE I'M SMILING IS THE MOST INCREDIBLE SONG EVER)
It’s so strange watching this back because I just went through the same thing with last five years. I watched it in I think 2016 and hated it but I just recently listened to it and holy shit it’s SO G O O D
Late to the party here, but I would 100% watch a video of you analyzing The Last Five Years. 100%.
I use an app called breathe for meditation and it walks you through everything and it's free and I love it
(Stop breathe & think is the full name but it's amazing)
I use it as well and I find it really good!
I LOVE The Last Five Years. I BAWLED the first time I saw it. Also, all the things you said about it are things I've tried to explain to my friends who've never seen it, haha. I'm like, "The writing is genius! There are so many moments that echo each other in all of the different songs!" And they're like, "Um, okay, cool."
Whenever I make noodles like that I love to add some tofu! Chop tofu into cubes, coat it in cornflour and salt, cook it in a pan with a little bit of oil and stir it into your noodles at the end- it tastes really ice I promise!
Nice* it tastes nice!!
Ooo that sounds super yummy! I love tofu!
Omg YUM
"i pay my taxes i also scoot places" dodie is all i aspire to be
Gosh I could listen to her speak about literally anything for hours. She's so lovely.
YES DODIE The Last 5 Years is the best
"I don't have a very musical theater voice" WHA UH WHA GIRL👏 HAVE👏YOU👏HEARD👏YOUR👏MUSIC?
Thank you, for being so amazing. You scoot places and set realistic, healthy goals and wear things I wish I could wear and you take what you are given and do amazing things. And I know you're not always in the best mental space but the fact that you can still be so amazing just inspires me to try harder. Thank you, you help me in more ways than you know. And this probably sounds ridiculous because I don't really know you, but from what I see, it gives me hope. You give me hope, that maybe the future, my future, isn't bad. That maybe there is something good coming. I can't thank you enough for everything. I have anxiety and it has manifested into insomnia so most nights I get 2 hours of sleep if I'm lucky (after a few days I basically pass out for 12-15 hours) but sometimes your music and your voice (that sounds creepy I'm sorry) is the only thing that can get me to sleep at all. You have set a level of success and hope for me. I appreciate it so much. Thank you, thank you so much.
+doddleoddle if you go to 'see I'm smiling' on TH-cam so many of the comments reference Dodie and the one's that don't are from people wondering who is this Dodie with the excellent taste
"I pay my taxes, I also scoot places. That's okay." - the best
I just re-watched several of your more casual/talk videos, and was able to take a look at how many new-different-curious-tiny things that you introduce. I can really relate to this, because I do this as well.
Most of the time though, others bring it up in a negative way - that it's wishy-washy and demonstrates a lack of commitment to flit back and forth between so many "hobbies" while still "failing" to stay present, grounded, and stable long term.
I've only just hardly realized that this isn't a negative thing and been able to self-identify these behaviors in a more positive light. This is just how some of us practice self care.
For me, I need a lot of things to occupy my mind and body with. I need to try things, research things, go places, commit to things for a while and find something else when it stops being something that feels good, or when it's all just too draining and I need to circle back to tiny acts of self care.
I watch your videos a lot as a way to reflect and self identify with reference to another girl holding a musical instrument or paint brush. Thanks, Dodie.
please do the bullet journal video!!
I'm loving these frequent uploads😀👍🏼
Pls do a meditation vid btw
She is doing vedj this month :) (video every day in july)
"I beg your pardon? u wot m8?" omg I love dodie so much
I know you don't really use tumblr too much, Dodie, but if you ever need inspo for bullet journaling there's a whole community for it on there
Ooooh! Thanks!!
The Last Five Years is so freaking good. So. good. The song you mentioned is my favorite. And A.Kendrick is unbelievably fantastic. Also, please do a cover of a song from this. Give it that dodie spin and make it delicious
I LOVE THE LAST FIVE YEARS! It's amazing how they show Cathys story (her songs) from the end to the beginning, but shows Jamie's story oppositely. And I totally agree with the parallel lyricism.
"Is a book happening?" I HOPE SO!
Yessss I noticed that too!! :) I'm so curious
MiaSings it is!!!!
ITS OUT!!!
@ dodie u like musicals, LISTEN TO HAMILTON !!
it's so good honestly you will cry and oh my goodness it's SO GOOD YOU WOULD LOVE IT
yes!! I'm pretty much obsessed with Hamilton as much as Dodie is with The Last Five Years, haha :) and there is also a TLFY reference in it! :)
+Hannie Bee yes yes yes!!!
I know my sister like I know my own MIND you will never FIND anyone as TRUSTING or as KIND I love my sister more than anything in this LIFE I will choose her happiness over MINE every TIME
+Hannie Bee Really? Where is the reference in Hamilton?
that super cute dress-y thing she showed is on sale for $20 in canada right now i'm so so happy
Try listening to Hamilton, it's also a great musical
Don't need to bother now..............
yas
PAY YOUR FUCKING TAXES you're everywhere
I used your asmr video "take a moment" to sort of meditate. So everytime i feel overwelmed or like I can't do anything I'll play the video close my eyes and force myself to pay attention ONLY to what your saying. Sometimes I'll repeat key words out loud (ex: I'm kind and I'm beautiful)
:)
OKAY THE LAST FIVE YEARS actually is the best and i absolutely LOVE it and just they use the same melodies in different parts of the soundtrack to foreshadow and also like tell you things that the characters don't know and i love every single part of it ugh SO GOOD
MUSICAL MUSICAL MUSICAL LISTEN TO HAMILTON yes im that arsehole but fuck me up it's incredible
IT'S SO GOOD
PLEASE LISTEN IT'S LITERALLY WRAPPING THOMAS JEFFERSON IT'S AWESOME
EVERYONE GIVE IT UP FOR AMERICAS FAVORITE FIGHTING FRENCHMEN
DONT THROW AWAY YOUR SHOT. LISTEN TO HAMILTON
Sofia Olsson LAFYETTE! I'm taking this horse by the reigns making red coats redder with blood stains, LAFYETTE!
THE LAST FIVE YEARS IS MY ALL TIME FAVOURITE MUSICAL GAAHH I LOVE IT. my entire family is annoyed with me because I'm constantly playing it for them and explaining how everything links and analysing every lyric. my mom got annoyed because I kept talking when I made her watch the movie with me lol. PLEASE DO A COVER DODES
I honestly love it when you ramble on and on it feels like I'm actually talking to you its nice
I feel the same about the last five years omg both soundtracks (Broadway and movie) are being constantly played in my house. It's such an awesome musical omg. Please cover a song from the show!!!! Still hurting??
It's strange to think I would have been I highschool with Dodie
*in
What
Is your profile picture Vitas?
+KangaRuth hell fuckin yeah it is
Someone Somewhere XD
I've been having a bit of a "I have so much to do but not right now and I need to plan things but how" day and you've just inspired me so much with the bullet journaling and meditating and being so wonderful on a personal level and now I feel like it's okay to feel this way and I feel like I can actually cope, so thank you for that xx
You should DEFINITELY make a video about The Last Five Years (& a cover PLEASE!) I LOVE that musical & I would really like to know your thoughts about it (in more depth) Thank you 🙂
ALSO you should listen to the original cast recording instead of the soundtrack of the movie because it's so much better (in my opinion)... although Jeremy Jordan does an marvelous job interpreting Jamie 💛
"who's fala? why did he fall" it was the best thing
It's been 4 years and I still think about this video regularly. Please make another favorites Dodie- we love u
Every time she said 'Essentially', I thought...
'eSsENtIALlY, tHeY tAX uS rEleNTleSSLy'
Anyone now what I'm talking about?
...no okay just me

LITERALLY THE LAST FIVE YEARS IS MY FAVORITE THING EVER. ITS WONDERFUL AND LOVELY AND SO SAD AND JUST GREAT.
"I pay my taxes but I also scoot places" - Dodie Clark, 2016
goddamnit, everyone I love is going braless and it makes me so jealous cuz I don't have the confidence to do it right now, cuz I feel like my boobs are too big to go without one, even though they really probably aren't, but gosh dang it i'm gonna get past stupid insecurities and DO THIS THANG!! :D
also I am so making that noodle thing it looks tasty AF
You can always try wearing a bra under a bralette at first :)
Thanks, I might try that :)
Thanks! I've found a super cute one that I can't wait to try! :)
Maybe go for a padded brallete or non underwired bra ! I feel like they are the perfect in between If you have bigger boobs but want to try going braless :)
You've gained a new subscriber simply from people commenting about you on the See I'm Smiling youtube video! Everyone was talking about 'Dodie' and I was like "I have to check this youtuber out" and as a die hard fan of The Last Five Years, I loved everything you said. So keep being you Dodie. You are awesome!!!
BUT WHERE DID YOU GET THE BRALETTES. I NEED TO KNOW please and thank you.
'The future doesn't exist'... DHMIS??
:O
what is dhmis
+doddlevloggle don't hug me I'm scared!
+doddlevloggle Don't Hug Me I'm Scared! Go watch them all
+doddlevloggle don't hug me I'm scared, it's a series on youtube :)
Oh, PLEASE listen to the original cast recording of The Last Five Years!! With Norbert Leo Butz (Fiero from Wicked!!) and Sherie Scott, it is SO BEAUTIFUL and gives a very different (and I personally find, far better) feel of the musical than what the film did. The film didn't do it justice!! But so so happy you found this gorgeous show!
Can we have a little look book as your fashion sense is so cute and I wanna get a couple items I see you wearing cxx
Will you do the bullet journal vid? Lol I know it's been ages but I'd love it.
I remember you mentioned the bullet journal in a video some time ago, and then recently it popped up again somewhere and I decided to check it out. And OMG I love it! I haven't used it for that long, maybe two weeks now, but I have become so much more productive and I feel much more efficient than before. I get a little kick out of it whenever I can cross out a completed task, and it's so nice to see the monthly task list get more and more crosses. I'm not good with technology. It's like the things I jot down on my phone don't stick as well as when I handwrite it on paper. I'm so happy I learned about bullet journaling! So thank you for planting the seed in my brain! :)
But technically the relationship is real. It's based on the relationship of the writer, Jason Robert Brown, and his wife.
If it's not clear, this is pertaining to The Last Five Years
+Emma Yee I had no idea whoa. Also hello fellow hamilfan
Erin Bosbury :) hello. Apparently there were original details that had to be taken out when JRB's ex wife threatened to sue.
+Emma Yee yeah they had to take out a song which was eventually replaced by Shiksa Goddess so the story wasn't exactly the same

DODIE THE LAST YEAR FIVE YEARS IS MY FAVORITE MUSICAL OH MY GOSH THIS IS INCREDIBLE IVE WATCHED IT AN UNCOUNTABLE AMOUNT OF TIMES AND IM SO HAPPY THAT YOU'VE ENJOYED IT AND NOW SOMEONE ELSE UNDERSTANDS MY LOVE FOR IT
You should do a cover of "A Summwr In Ohio"
I thought you said "I don't wear brows" and I was like what ... Surely they aren't natural? Wow, I want them ... Then you showed a bra and I understood
Also, I'm jealous that you can wear bralettes. My 30G life is terrible.
+Beth Jefferies same! I can't wear bralettes and I'm so helped of her
+GirlOnTheInternet jealous*
Cover Jamie Is Oveeeer and Jamie Is Goooone like the sad heartbreaking one right at the beginning/ end and use some twinkly piano chords I reckon it would sound so so so beautiful with your voice xxx
Alright... did no one else pause and read at 5:01 it says "Is a book coming? Email back Sara"
YES DODIE MAKE A BOOK WRITE A BOOK YOU CAN DO IT PLEASE MAKE IT HAPPEN
Your hair 😍
it's soooo cute
ALMOST 14 MINUTES OF DODIE TALKING ABOUT THINGS SHE LIKES?!??!?!
this is one of my favourites, thankyou
Dodie: Does anyone use iPods anymore?
Me: Meeeeeee!!!!
DODIE where is that cool geometricy black crop top from??
at 9:44 plspls
+VlogTooMuch yes yes I'd love to know!
I saw a very similary (maybe the same) one in Brandy Melville :)
You can find them on ebay when you type in 'black crop top' / bralette :)
+Shaz A and they're mad cheap, like £2/£3
This is the first time I hear a convincing/revealing opinion about *what* meditation is -- I think the "grounding you to the present" explanation is incredibly accurate or it at least constitutes the most ideal possible thing to achieve through meditation. So thank you for that, you're much better than any random article on the matter I've ever read!
"I pay taxes. I also scoot places." haha
the last 5 years is so good. I also try to eat less meat
I am triying*
