I love the vocal manipulation in dorian's newer music but their voice in this song is so amazing
Dean Trbl agreed
I honestly want to hear their voice like this more. its fucking fantastic and they need to show it the fuck off!
@@sibby6554 Agreed!
Isn't it? Its reminding me of something like Annie Lennox/La Roux❤
You hit it on the head
My non binary gentlethem hero
I love "gentlethem". It's perfect.
@@a.vangarde5116 predicted the future 🤔
@@marak_ WOOOOOA HOLY SHIT
@@marak_ AHHH YOURE RIGHT
@@hopeofsaya What happened? :o
i hope you're still proud of this song. it's beautiful.
I love how grotesque and trippy the video becomes when Dorian takes the wig off, symbolizing the flaws and insecurities that lies beneath.
I got Marilyn Manson vibes. Keep exploring Dorian! 💙 U
I really HATE how underrated this masterpiece is
+++++
Yes!!! Just smashed my laptop on my face so mad rn
Agreed
very late to this and im quite angry im only just finding out about them
Truly best song of Dorians, it says so much, it let's u c thru the veil, to it's raw truth and I love it ,pure masterpiece 💯 all the way
This is still my favorite Dorian song. And the most intimately emotional and also heartbreaking video they’ve ever created.
yes.
I also love this one
I feel that
Oh wow ur rite, I felt it but didn't realize what i was feeling until I read ur comment, and it's now its so clear and heart breakingily beautiful
think it may be my fav, although they have a lotta goodies ;)
The first time I watched this video it changed my life.
I probably interpreted it a little different than what it was intended to portray.
But the whole "Mind on your body, and your body on my mind line" + the visuals really spoke to something I was afraid to address on my own for a while.
To me it spoke to the disphoria I feel sometimes were i dont always feel like the gender i was assigned at birth.
As in like sometimes I feel I'm not in the right body and I look at girls and wonder if my mind should have been born on that body instead and if somebody looks at me and feels the same way.
When Dorian takes off the female costumes, it really hit me how hung up I still am on passing as boy to at least some extent (im a gay boy) .When I'm alone I take off the boy costume as well and strip down to something similar to that vulnerable creature shown in the video. Because to me, I guess masculinity has always been more of a performance. Just never really admitted it to myself.
This might not make much sense lol, but basically I'm much happier accepting my more fluid identity. And I thank this vid for helping me start that thought process, that for a while was inflicting me pain.
eekcarlos knowing what i know of dorian and of my own gender labyrinth... i think you interpreted it probably dead on their intent, generally speaking. this song and esp video is definitely evoking dysphoria, & the specific anxiety of the intersection of intimacy & dysphoria; you’re not alone in that.
Everyones interpretation of an artists song is different and as long as the visual and music relates to and helps you through the days then you know you've come across a true artist. I just recently found this artist and I absolutely love their music and creativity. There is another song which you might find comfort in which is Filatov and Karas song satellite. Worth looking up friend.
I stumbled upon Dorian this morning and promptly marathoned every song. Out of every comment I have seen on the vids, yours is the most precious. I hope you can one day find your confidence and happiness and not have to struggle with your dysphoria ever again. And if you ever need reassurance that you have support, know you have possibly hundreds right here in this moment.
I send you a virtual hug and sincere congrats on everyday you get closer to your true self. ^~^
This comment made me day brighter, I’m so happy you found this song and it has improved your life
My interpretation exactly ♡ Music is yet another form of art. Whatever it means to you, it's correct
I love the first part giving me 1997's porn underground channel realness
what... do you think 1997 was like? this is more 1987 in terms of the video quality and looks.
@@Uhohlisa eh... Have you soon news footage from 2001? It looks just as bad sometimes
@@eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeo Yeah, but porn always looks better.
That looked more late 80's/early 90's.
And Kylie's 'confide in me' music video which is basically inspired by the same thing ❤️
I stumbled over this video a while ago and have been mesmerized by Dorian's music ever since. I've presented as a straight, feminine woman my whole life, because I was so suffocated by expectations... and even though there's so much I missed out on, I feel much better these days having outed myself to my partner as bi and presenting on the butch side. It took me years to have the courage to slowly creep towards how I want to be. But it didn't hit me just how much I've changed, until I saw this video and felt the sudden terror of going back to the way I was. This song is such a trip, absolutely stunning.
This so hard 💞💞💞
What do you mean you presented as straight? You either like men or you don't. Lmao.
@@uui219 shes bi so she still likes men and still isnt straight. sorry if I read it wrong my reading comprehension is kinda bad right now
Holy shit, this is almost exactly my story. I'm in my mid 20's and while I've always felt genderless and uncomfortable with my boobs etc. and I always knew I was attracted to women, I pushed it deep down inside and justified it as a "phase" and as something that will pass. I grew up in a severely conservative environment and now I'm coming to terms with the fact that I might be genderfluid and fully lesbian and Dorian's music gave me the strength to accept who I am.
Dorian is so underrated. An enby power icon.
now they made a lady gagas song remix
I watched this video a couple years ago for the first time. I was a nice, pretty girl with a boyfriend she was set to marry one day. When I saw trans ppl talking about how much the video resonated with them, I was confused. I thought everyone felt the way I felt about my gender and looking in the mirror, the disconnect and confusion and discomfort. I pushed the feeling aside and tried to move on. Well, I spent the next few years realizing how bitterly unhappy I was with my ‘perfect’ life.
I don’t know who I am anymore, and I’ve found myself drawn back to this video. It feels so familiar but I feel like I’m seeing it for the first time. I don’t have any labels for myself right now. I haven’t said anything about my gender questioning to anyone. But this means everything to me in this moment. To know what I’m feeling isn’t because I’m broken. Thank you Dorian. From the moment I started listening to you, you changed my life in ways I couldn’t possibly know.
You are conciousness. You are experiencing reality. Your gender doesn't matter. Neither does your skin color for that matter. The fact that you were CREATED and EXIST is all that matters. Everything else is just background noise. Enjoy every moment, one moment at a time. You are LIFE.
That was so beautiful and raw, ur more in touch with urself than most. Ur truly one of a kind ,u will stay with me in my heart and mind forever, ur words r so hauntingly beautiful and I will never forget them, thank u, I can't explain it but u opened a door for me that I didn't know was shut ,ur amazing ❤❤❤😊
I've cried to this song so many times.
I read it as speaking to the blurred line between 'do I want you, or do I want to be you'. Before my masculine transition I remember staring in awe at some men's bodies, loving their large shoulders, peks and especially ways they dressed. I remember how my body responded as if it knew them before, saying ohh when I'm next to them, and all that. I just really feel like this sing captures those early FTM feelings for me as someone attracted to men. ❤❤❤
It captures the other way too, I really enjoy this as part of just a coping with dysphoria playlist.
Im not kidding when i say that this video and this song are foundational to who I’ve been for at least the past 5 years of my life
I have huge amounts of dysphoria at this point in my life - I look in the mirror, or look down at myself, and see a betrayal - my body isn't me. The shots of Dorian muttering in a mirror as if shocked that that is their reflection hit me in the gut because I know how it feels to see myself one way and then realise that no one will see me that way without me fighting to show them who I am? I don't know if that makes sense but I thank you for being the representation that wasn't there for such a long time, Dorian. You make me feel human and valid and that is priceless.
I Completely Agree
💯💯💯💯💯💯
That was beautiful, ur in my heart and mind , u can and will b ur true self and everyone will know with a slight glance, as u own it and grow, u will exude it and ppl will know, happy journey, live ur best self and love it 💖
@@shalynnamber thank you, that's very sweet of you and means a great deal to me. It's getting better over time
Unpopular opinion: This is their best song ever
I agree
I don't believe that it's an unpopular opinion, I agree that it's the best song they created. It so raw and hauntingly beautiful, and everybody here agrees that this is the best works that Dorian has put out , and I'm sure as more fans find it ,they to will agree, becuz the song and video r undeniable once u find it it speaks to u like nothing else, I believe it's a popular opinion, not to mention Dorians fans, we're not like everyone else, we r open minded, we accept different ideas and respect others visions and truths, and a true fan would definitely say it's a popular opinion. Best song ever ❤️ 💕 ❤
Dude they can rock any look they god dang want I am envious
I wish dorian would make more songs like this, I always listen to it when I'm sad
This video: having a crush on someone while being an incredibly dysphoric closeted nonbinary person. I felt this in my soul.
dorian's actual best song don't @ me
Whether presenting masculine, feminine, or just plain wild, Dorian is honestly hot as hell.
Going back to this song after the new album it's like, you can just see the journey that Dorian has been on these past few years. I'm sure this song and this video were super hard to make. It's all such raw, soul-baring ART. Plus it just straight-up fucking SLAPS! It's just so incredible. Thank you Dorian, you are impossible not to love! I like to think that the mind/body problem isn't so much a problem for you anymore. 💖
Amen!
Got my mind on your body and your body on my mind
It's a mind-body problem will we solve it in time?
And everybody, oh they think that you're fine
But I know there's a problem, press your body to mine (Ooh)
Well I know there's a problem, press your body to mine
Know there's a problem, press your body to mine
I don't know nothin' 'bout the heart and the soul
The mind and body, ooh, and what they control
And can't help it well my mind knows it's true
My body's calling when I'm next to you it's sayin'
Oooh, ooh, when I'm next to you it's sayin'
Oooh, ooh, when I'm next to you it's sayin'
Oooh, ooh, when I'm next to you it's sayin'
Oooh, when I'm next to you
All these ideas of you inside of my head
Not even touchin' you, just thinkin' instead
All these ideas of you my body don't know
But it responds as if it knew them before
It's sayin'
Oooh, ooh, as if it knew, it's sayin'
Oooh, ooh, as if it knew, it's sayin'
Oooh, ooh, as if it knew, it's sayin'
Oooh, as if it knew
I don't know nothin' 'bout the heart and the soul
The mind and body, and what they control
And can't help it well my mind knows it's true
My body's calling when I'm next to you it's sayin'
Oooh, ooh, when I'm next to you it's sayin'
Ooh, ooh, when I'm next to you it's sayin'
I know when I'm next to you it's sayin'
I know when I'm next to you
Oooh, ooh, when you do what you do, I'm sayin'
I do what you do, I'm sayin'
When I'm next to you I'm sayin'
When I'm next to you
Mind-body problem, can we solve it in time?
Mind-body problem, now won't you be mine?
Mind-body problem, can we solve it in time?
Mind-body problem, now won't you be mine?
Now won't you be mine?
Now won't you be mine?
Mind-body problem, can we solve it in time?
It's a mind-body problem, now won't you be mine?
Now won't you be mine?
Biggest fan
Thank you!
Show this to anyone that doesn’t think that Dorian can sing
who would ever say that tho
spacespace heart that’s the t
It’s obvious she can’t sing tho?
I love how you created that account for no reason 😂 shut up
Dorian Can’t Sing also they*
I'm still not over this song.
I’ve listened to this song maybe hundreds, if not thousands of times in the past year. So much of being nonbinary to me is navigating uncomfortable things. This music video wakes something in me up and makes me feel so torn and so lucky and so beautiful all at once. It feels like the song forgives me for things I can’t forgive myself for. I see myself as a person who is resilient and proud as a point of pride itself. But accessing the feelings that this song brings out in me truly has allowed me to be certain in myself and know that every uncertainty I’ve blundered through in pursuit of understanding myself has been not only necessary but also precious.
Thank you. I saw you in concert before I ever heard this song, and though I don’t know you personally, what you’re doing and who you are is so, so important.
I love this video SO much. I have a hard time explaining my dysphoria to people but this video explains it so perfectly. The way Dorian's body moves and sort of twitches around evokes the same feelings that my dysphoria does. But at the same time the video makes me feel empowered and gives the same feelings that my gender euphoria feels like. Basically this video just feels like my entire gender experience presented in video form. It feels so validating and powerful.
I just found this and I'm obsessed I love Dorian Electra
We all are.

This comment aged like fine wine😌
Dear Dorian. I'm an eccentric old woman, and I like your musical style.
It's criminal that this only has 26k views in 2 years! Someone make this viral!
Now it has 260k!

Dorian please use this voice again in one of your newer songs. I think this register could sound amazing with some hyper pop of yours 🤩🌈
I’m so attracted to this origin story
1:19 - 1:27 I really love that
Thank you Dorian. I know you probably won't see this, but I've been binging your music and sharing it at work. I work as youth counsellor in my city with a lot lgbtq+ youth in my care and they found confidence and something to relate to in your music. This song touched a lot of them who have dysphoria, I just wanted to let you know your music is inspiring a new hopeful generation who believe in themselves.
seeing earlier Dorian and comparing it to their ore recent stuff just makes me love them even more. Dorian is such a versatile artist and I really cant wait to see what new and amazingly obnoxiously cool path they take next
you are genuinely the most attractive person i have ever fucking seen in my whole entire life.
im so obsessed with this song, it makes me feel seen.. i feel like my dysphoria/ dysmorphia takes on this fiendish entity that i can't escape easily
This is like Man to Man's cool aunt
Flop comment wbk
I've gained a new appreciation for Dorian after watching multiple MVs back to back. Its like the videos and the music were meant to be digested together. Absolutely in love with the uncanny (in the best sense) aesthetic and the satirical lyrical content. Its some top notch shit and people dont realize.
The more I watch this, the more it makes me cry.
You deserve so much more views ! Great artist ✨💕🌹
*many. *puts on Stannis mask*
I love all your music, but there's just something so special about this particular song and video. I can hardly even believe it's YOU in the video. This song really speaks to me about the dysphoria I have felt. In particular, when you pull off the wig the first time, it really tugs at the heartstrings. Thanks for being you and for the music you make!
Watching this feels very intimate, but so does watching Edgelord. I love that Dorian was able to keep the same energy while changing the presentation. That just proves so much to me
idk how to explain it but femme dorian looks more like drag than whatever the hell they've normally got going on
RIGHT
this singer&performer deserves to be more famous. 🌹
Okay, so I don't generally leave youtube comments but here we go: my boyfriend got me into you by sending me Man to Man, then I watched Flamboyant (which became my instant favorite), and suddenly I'm watching all of your videos and downloading the songs and I'm just obsessed! Your music, the way you present yourself. It's wonderful. And you seem like such a wholesome and fun person. Adam and Steve is one of my absolute favorites, the lines "say I'm an abomination, but I'm God's creation" and then "and God made me, and he loves me" make me so happy and sad at the same time and I really needed it, hearing that as a lgbt person who struggles with faith is just. I don't know. It meant a lot. But THIS song right here? There's something about it, I'm not sure what. I don't think I can describe exactly how it makes me feel. All I can say is I spent a whole day with nothing but this song on repeat and now I know all the words by heart and sing along to myself all the time. So I just wanted to say, this is a BOP 11/10 and I love you, I'm sorry for writing such a long comment though. Please continue to make such lovely music! 👉👈
Dorian is the type of artist where I watch their videos multiple times in a row. Like once is not enough to soak it all in
coming back to this one again boys.....yep we cryin
Holy crap how did I never know this side of Dorian Electra? I'm going to play this over and over this until my speakers break.
HOW CAN THEY FUCKING LOOK GOOD IN LITERALLY ANYTHING
You are an incredible artist.
coming back to this song after the release of my agenda and i just want to say wow. the growth that dorian has had as an artist and a person is incredible. i’m so proud of u dorian. ty for helping me and so many others feel more comfortable in their body / identity. i can’t wait to see what you do next in ur career
Felt like coming back to listen to dorian’s older music and listening to this one again really hits different now. I’ve been struggling with my identity and gender and just my mind and life so much but ever since I discovered dorian’s music, I’ve become more confident in my overall being. I really just want to thank you Dorian. For helping me understand my gender and my own mind body problem. You’ve grown so much as an artist and person and I will forever be a fan❤️
I think I love this song/video so much because it feels like this is the first step in Dorian's journey to become who they are today. It makes me think back to when I was first questioning who I was, way before I even came out. The hardest step was coming out to myself and reversing all the years of weird forced thinking people had imposed upon me. I really appreciate that younger people have artists like Dorian who can help them explore and come to grips with their identity from a much earlier age.
Why doesn't this have a billion views, c'mon people
I discovered Dorian Electra through an Instagram story posted by Matt Watson and now they're one of my favorite current artists.
lockjaw larry & the meme team wait what was this Instagram story, I love Matt but I missed that :0
Wait Matt Watson of supermega?
woah really? I love supermega so that's really cool to hear
This is what it would look like if ContraPoints did music. But honestly I really love your work! I'm living for your ~a e s t h e t i c~
I really want Natalie and Dorian to just...idk...have a very long conversation about gender and fucking over societal norms. I just need them in the same place!!!!
So far as I can tell contrapoints is surrounding herself with toxic people leading her to hurt non passing trans people, she's not someone I'd watch while waiting for hormones.
I haven't watched her in a while because she hasn't uploaded in a while, but I get her in my recommended when I watch Dorian lol.
OMG I'm a big fan of both Dorian and Natalie!
@@siginotmylastname3969 ew you're wrong. BLAIR WHITE IS NOT TOXIC.
As a femme enby I feel extremely validated and this is now my theme song
8 years passed and this still SLAPS
This and flamboyant are my favourite Dorian songs xxx love you Dorian
sometimes during the rare times where dysphoria hits me hard this song comforts me a lot 🩵🩷🤍🩷🩵
I love this personnnnn
Such a versatile artist, in all ways: conceptually, instrumentally, vocally, lyrically, visually and choreographically.
New fan here. The first song I heard was "Give Great Thanks." Now I'm enjoying all of their music.
This made me pass my philosophy exam
Dorian without their mustache scares me
This is the only dorian electra song that i find is not a parody and is actually more serious if im not mistaken and i love their newer songs but sometimes songs like this are a breath of fresh air when you normally dont listen to that style
I really wanna hear some of the pre-Flamboyant Dorian songs done live on the next tour whenever it may be
High Heels ❤
@@sillkthashocker I need a newer version of Jackpot!
This was my introduction to Dorian Electra. This song was on a random mixtape, that became an earworm that lived rent-free for years.
I'm glad to have eventually found you, to be able to watch and enjoy your musical evolution and creativity, I'm here for it on so many levels xx
I dont fuc**ng know how I got here but DAMN THIS SONG IS AMAZING!!!!!
Truly
This song has been my comfort song for two years, I’m finally comfortable with my gender fluidity and for the first time in my life I’m happy being myself. thank you Dorian!
This song is slept on.
I'm so glad to live in the same era as Dorian Electra
[Intro]
Got my mind on your body and your body on my mind
It's a mind-body problem, can we solve it in time?

But I know there's a problem, press your body to mine (Ooh)
Well, I know there's a problem, press your body to mine

Oooh, when I'm next to you
[Verse 2]
All these ideas of you inside of my head (Inside of my head)
Not even touchin' you, just thinkin' instead (Just thinkin' instead)
All these ideas of you, my body don't know (Body don't know)
But it responds as if it knew them before
It's sayin'
[Chorus]
Oooh, ooh, as if it knew, it's sayin'
Oooh, ooh, as if it knew, it's sayin'
Oooh, ooh, as if it knew, it's sayin'
Oooh, as if it knew

I know when I'm next to you
Oooh, ooh, when you do what you do, I'm sayin'
I do what you do, I'm sayin'
But when I'm next to you, I'm sayin'
When I'm next to you
[Outro]
Mind-body problem, can we solve it in time?
Mind-body problem, now, won't you be mine?
Mind-body problem, can we solve it in time?
Mind-body problem, now, won't you be mine?
Now, won't you be mine?
Now, won't you be mine?
Mind-body problem, can we solve it in time?
It's a mind-body problem, now, won't you be mine?
Now, won't you be mine?
dorians music videos are always incredible but this one still stands out years later. it doesn't just enhance a brilliant song but goes in conversation with it. it's possible to love dorians other music while not watching the videos often but with this song in particular you just have to come back for the visuals to get the full experience
Dorian has always been such a great character actor. Creating these different identities so well for these videos
OBSESSED
Hotter with the ‘stache
I listen to this song almost every day. Thank you for making me feel less alone in my experience of gender 💚💚💚💚
everyday i fall more in love with you. Seeing your new album compared to that style just makes me so happy. I like this music and video, and i also like "my agenda", i think you are defineing your style in a very reconogible way. I'm happy for you, dorian. Have a nice day :)
Why hasn’t this blown up yet? It’s amazing
i dont know if i should cry or dance
Mesmerising, this is the second time I've listened to this song and i know I'll hear it in my dreams
Has anyone called 1-900-MIND-BODY yet?
So old soul but still avant- garde,,,the mark of an authentic artist who starts with what she can offer in the moment.
i love this video because you can really see the beginnings of the aesthetic you've perfected over the past couple of years, but it also harkens to an educational subject, much like your other work from the time . also a fantastic song
This song is so beautiful
This song is increds
Just found out this other jem from our beloved non binary icon and I'm honestly SO pissed Dorian has not broken out into mainstream yet.
They have been consistently bringing to the table quality music. I want them to be on everybody's radar I'm so mad!!!
I cant stop listening to it
this is uniquely amazing!!!!
Luxci Korkov this is completely irrelevant but where can I get a full version of your profile pic?
unfortunately I have no idea , I got it off from a random instagram page quite long ago, but you can google "Mia wallace Devianart" you might come across it. sorry!
You’re so talented omg
This video is a good representation of what dysphoria can feel like sometimes. At least I think it is.
Please make more videos about philosophy of mind issues!
I'M OBSESSED
I love love love love love this
Coming back to this classic after Fanfare is incredible, I have loved watching Dorian change and evolve as an artist these 4 years :') they have helped to give me the courage to be my entire weird nonbinary self 💗
I love this song so much
they look so fab at the start and the end. all the looks are just bangers
i keep watching this even though it makes me cry every time
ugh thats a mood
This is by far my favorite song by Dorian. I just can't get over how good the vocals are! I love this sound waaaaaay more than the altered filters.
