    this is the kind of song that actually makes me want to grow old, have my mundane little love life with a partner i love more than anything, and have those weird little old lady things like a diner day :) you’ve captured the cutest dynamic ever perfectly!!

    Yeah, fifty-something divorced dude here.

It brought me in and held me still and took me to such a decent place. Beautiful.

He said “Some songs swallow you whole.” This is the first Dodie song I’ve listened to and it brought me your comment, your worries. Don’t you look down, Allan. May the truest love find you.

    Somehow this song gives me a vivid image of a 70 year old couple with loads of grandkids looking down on on their loved ones and reminiscing over how it used to be as their names are said the final time. They lived life together and it’s somehow fitting that they are forgotten together. But maybe just maybe a girl with a guitar will remind the world that sometimes the most simple people live the most beautiful lives.

    What a beautiful song, thanks Dodie! I think a lot of us would be lucky to have a life like RIchard and Betty :)
    Life often has a way of sending curveballs your way, with work, health, money, family and other stresses too often distracting you from what is special, so it's important to remember that the so-called mundane things in life can sometimes ground us and allow us to appreciate the most important things in life and each other.
    For me this could be laughing with my wife like kids about something and nothing, a long hug at the end of a tough day, listening to our 4 year old daughter sing to herself about anything (pure heaven to me) or just enjoying a bike ride, smelling the the morning air as you cycle along the canal to work, passing behind the bakery; the smell of freshly baked bread mixed with the freshly cut grass along the canal, just stopping to enjoy a coffee and a fresh roll. Don't do it now as I've changed jobs and location, but that was the highlight of my day for years :)
    Diner day is something that we're definitely going to do though. :)

    Day one of asking ~pretty please~ if this could be recorded and added to Spotify so I can listen to it on a loop. Chills every time. Thank you Dodie for this cup of warm soup of a song.

    Something missing from a lot of modern music is the storytelling component and I think this is where Dodie absolutely kills it! Each song is like an adventure on it's own that just feels so complete!

    I really really love all your other songs but OMFG this is one of your best songs! It's such a wholesome and cute and sweet song, it kinda makes me want to grow old.
    Also I want to see what Betty and Richard think about this song!

    Yesterday i celebrated being 6 months into the relationship i thought i'd never find. We share a home, dreams, highs and lows. I am loved for who i truly am, i feel taken care of, listened to and supported through it all. I am happy beyond what i believed i could ever be. This song made me cry because it feels like it's narrating our life together, it encapsulates the wonderful feelings I'm experiencing and the future i not only dream of, but see becoming truer every day.

    “I think we hacked it
    Maybe we cracked it
    No there’s no where that I’d rather be”
    makes my heart feel so full.
    and then WOW
    “I still feel it all
    Since we kissed in the fall
    After dancing in ‘73
    .... my god I feel good with just you by my side”
    aaaaaah
    “Make a home in nowhere
    Make a home with me
    (Thank god we said goodbye to the city)”
    feels like an extended metaphor-like on another plane, astrologically, could exist :,,,)
    so so grateful to witness this and may very very much be watching your personal explanation video:,)

      I was wondering that too. I did some googling and I think it may be Shure MV88.
