cutting someone off is such a weird sort of heartbreak. suddenly, the immediate image of them alongside you wherever you are has to be consciously corrected. being painfully aware that they're still somewhere out there when all you want to do is round the corner. i feel like these lyrics are reminding me to let go even if i don't necessarily want to- we still exist near each other, but i'm allowed to be on my own- i'm better off on my own.
@@jennyw2006 same for me.. I was quite insecure when we met, so they treated me without much respect. My confidence eventually grew, and I didn't want to feel the same way with them as before. So I cut her off... No regrets tho, we are better apart (sorry for venting, the song hit me in the feels✋)
This song was really comforting to me as someone who STILL thinks about a person who left me years ago. That bit about the person who tracked their diary was also comforting, because it feels like, sometimes, I'm always thinking about the same upsetting things. It makes me feel normal to know I'm not the only one doing that.
the actual sound of this song, like the production, is so cool. it sounds so ghostly. i love the way the harmonies mix together like ambiance rather than separate parts you can pick out. and the pulse effect on the vocals at the end of the chorus, wow. it feels like someone slipping away.
I feel like its really easy to give sad songs happy chords so it's more swallowable, but the music and lyrics go perfectly together- a very honest and raw, melancholy experience. (I love it even more for that) :)
you are such a careful writer, i admire it so much. it's easy to say how someone's hurt you, but the way you focus on the more complex feeling of knowing you'll forgive them because you love them in spite of how they've hurt you is -whew- ow. i don't know if i said any of that right, but just know you're lovely and i'm a better writer in my own songs because of you. x
i love how you choose your levels of pronunciation, from the staccato and clear consonants in "I used to pick up the pace then, take the left turn, it was bad" to the more flowy and overlapping words later in the song and the choruses. it invokes such different feelings and it elevates the song so marvelously. you're a musical fae
Weirdly, the lyrics make so much sense. I feel the heartache like it’s my own. The feeling that you don’t want to see but still they remain so vivid in your mind. Allowing the scars they gave you to heal. It’s an art piece. You expressed such a complex emotion so simply. I am moved to tears. Gorgeous, gorgeous song! All of the luv dodes (Plus it’s the day b4 my bday so this is the last new song I hear before I turn 15 thats so sick)
"I am making measures, severing tethers, don’t look at me while I grow" is just such a good line lyrically and melodically. this song is amazing and it just gets better every time i re-listen to it
i dont think i can express how cathartic this song is for someone who has SUCH a hard time letting things go. it's so easy to get caught up in your nostalgia and imagining how things could have been now if we somehow worked it out back then, but you have to realize and look at it from a standpoint that thinking about it isn't helping anymore, it's not healthy anymore. this person has moved on and is probably much happier now, and being sad and nostalgic doesn't do anything for me. im allowed to move on. im allowed to be not friends with this person anymore. it's ok to be strangers again, even if it aches a little bit sometimes. thank you so much dodie. i think im ready to actually start letting go :,>
@@kolechuchi hello! update! I did let go and started focusing on myself and grew so much as a person! Now I’m with someone new who makes me feel warm and light at the same time! Best thing I did was choose to let go and love myself. There was better waiting for me!! 🥰
You just grow and grow as a songwriter. No-one else could have written and performed this song this way. It is your unique voice. Jools Holland said (about Jacob Collier) that musicians start out trying to sound like someone else, then they develop to the point where they sound like no-one else. You have reached that point. I can't wait to hear you write more about the other things, too. Richard and Betty showed that you can do that, beautifully. All power to your songwriting elbow.
This song really helped me through a bad friend breakup. I just rediscovered it recently and it made me realize how long it's been. I really love and appreciate this song for giving me words for feelings I didn't know how to describe at the time.
ohhhh lord i don’t understand how you keep doing it, but for the last ten years without fail, i’ll be going through it for whatever reason and i’ll click on whatever video you just posted and it’s always exactly what i need to hear. the way in which you process the world in your music is so healing and guiding, and always brings new perspective. you have a deep and impressive understanding of how tone, melody, rhythm, and intensity and etc influence emotion, even before the gutting and beautiful lyrics. you put your whole heart into your music and it resonates so far and wide. i have grown so much in the world because of you. thank you for everything, dodie.
for the past few months ive been listening to this song as two lovers ending things on a bad note, but today i just realized that this applies to friends too...almost a year ago, my best friend stopped talking to me, and she's still in my head each day. the "dont wanna know" part of the song is like my mind telling myself to move on and stop thinking about her, but theres still this sad curiosity that really does want to know, and its an ongoing, internal battle that i dont think will ever end. because at the end of the day, i lost a best friend, even though there were so many things we both could have done to fix it, but now its too late, and i will always have regrets great song! really makes me cry and wallow in self pity...but in a good way
Hi; your now elderly fan here... Dodie, that was a beautiful song, and one that will resonate with almost every human. The feelings that you are writing about, and their deep intensity, ARE things that do fade over time. Weirdly, older people almost become nostalgic for those feelings, as, just like being able to jump, and fall, and play, they are things that we can remember, but no longer feel, or do. Your song helps bridge that gap, so thank you for writing it. There will be time for the 'serious' songs, and they too will be beautiful and meaningful... I think I speak for all your fans when I say that I believe you are a special person with a great ability, and I care for your well-being very much. Oh, and as for the ending? Leave it to a cock to mess things up...
man i really FELT that frustration at the end with continuing to think and write about the same thing and that sense of “i Have other things to write about, why don’t i Do That?“ want you to know that every song you write feels different and unique, and has a new angle. every complex thing is built from simple parts. and i trust + believe that you will get to writing the other important songs you have to write, too
“i’ll forgive you, i’ll forget it it’ll leave me and i’ll let it” speaks to me so much. this whole song really relates to something i’m going through right now; thank you so much for sharing your art with us
Dodie your music is one of the things I’ve found that slows my mind and makes me feel still and calm. I have been diagnosed with ADHD recently, so I’m taking extra notice to what helps and what makes it worse. It’s no wonder I’ve been following you for so long.
The way dodie just creates a song that sounds (but isn’t) so effortless, yet so beautiful and calming. She makes every song look and sound so easy to copy, but really it’s so well thought out. A brilliant songwriter ❤
I think this is my favorite song of your monthly ones... around two years ago a friend I thought I would always keep in my life severely hurt me and betrayed my trust. I thought I could just move on and while it works just fine on some days, it doesn’t on others. My mom asked me if I heard of him lately and I told her I didn’t and I didn’t wanna know. Thank you for putting this feeling into music. I’ll continue to come here
Sitting in my car thinking about those people who I once held close that are still living in my head rent free. This song was the final nail in the coffin. I don't want to know. Thanks dodie❤️
I'm so impressed with your mixing work Dodie!! As an audio student, I understand how much effort goes into good quality recordings and mixes. Loving the details around 1:15 and the subtle dynamic changes throughout the piece. Endlessly impressed with how quickly you're growing as a musician :) Cheers
This song reminds me of my toxic ex best friend so much. "Why would I look if it tears me apart?" Thanks for writing beautiful and relatable songs dodie.
I’ve put off listening to this for a week now and I despise that I did. Because exactly a week ago this would’ve broken me. There’s such a magic to your music dodie. The way it makes people feel is so fluid and it’s always changing with life experience. I could come back and listen in a year and feel something new. Thank you
those topics that you mentioned you could write about sound really cool, but i am so thankful that this is the song you wrote and chose to share with us! it resonates with a lot of people, including me. i love the way you write lyrics about yearning
You always seem to write things as I go through them. You have a gift and a super power and I am so sorry for what ever gave you inspiration for this song because I can tell it hurts
I'm currently dealing with the most massive heartbreak I've experienced. I cannot say I don't want to know where she is or how she's doing now yet because those thoughts haunt me every single day. Even though I've realised there was no reason to be sad over happy memories and beautiful moments and a breakup that's been done tenderly, I can't avoid feeling it, the sadness. Thank you for this melody-hug ,dodie. As usual, you hit me right there.
Your music just brings my brain bliss. I have no way else to describe it. It's so soothing and easy to listen to and your way with lyrics is so inspiring. Thank you for another amazing song.
Dodie...from the very bottom of my heart...please please release these songs as soon as you can please. Please. It’s 3am and I’m listening to all the 2022 songs and they’re just so brilliant. Please. (Lots of love ❤️❤️)
The lyrics are perfect.. when we've learnt that the best way to let go is to get good at knowing it's best for us. And I really feel the ''don't look at me while I grow' - this is me blocking them and everyone they know even though they'll probably never even look hahah it's me going "don't look at me right now"..
literal poetry from a literal goddess. i love you dodie and i love the adventure ive had watching your videos. i relate to so many things and we are both so strong for still being here.
This is so beautiful. It really captures the feelings of trying to keep a distance while still healing and growing💙 Dodies songs are just so expressive, they never miss
this is one of my favorites of yours. I’m lying here crying to it at 2am and gosh it is just so perfect for what I’m goin thru rn. Gonna learn this on my guitar this week. Another masterpiece dodie
Dear Dodie, Hearing about your experience with depression and dissociation all while pushing yourself to still make art, as a fellow musician and artist, keeps my spirits up. As someone who tends to fixate a lot on negative thoughts, I fear my 20s will be awful, but you make me genuinely excited to keep on growing and keep on learning about myself and the world around me. To continue taking things slowly, and making efforts to love myself. Your art brings me more comfort than any media I’ve consumed in the last few months. Thank you Sincerely, Binah
This song helps me so so bloody much right now.. I‘ve loved it ever since it was posted.. but right now? Oh my god didn’t think it coult hit even more hard.. thank you dodie.. you let me live
Yeah I’m gonna need this one on Spotify so I can add it to a few different playlists I have. I love that you’re doing this series because I love seeing the behind the scenes of writing the song and what all goes into it (the experiences and the emotions rather than just trying to find a melody kind of bts)
I think you're doing a wonderful job, doddie ^-^ Your music has helped me so much over the years. and I just want to point out that YOU ARE GROWING. thank you, for being you and expressing yourself, you're wonderful. I wish you and I both find that person that grows with us. sending love, especially to you
hate the fact that I just found you a few seconds ago. the hell i been?? love your stuff instantly, love what you been doin. and this one gets me right through the heart. damn you but thank you.
Haunting as ever. There are so many things and I bet you'd do an extraordinary job at writing songs on any of them. Still, part of what makes your songs so meaningful, at least for me, is that I've never once felt they aren't genuine. It's nice to be able to relate and to feel and to not be alone in those feelings. You facilitate that realness with your realness, and I'm ever grateful for it.
I never stopped being amazed by you! Such a great song. Every time I hear another one of your songs, it makes me want to write another. You are right there is always so much to write about but it's so easy to end up writing songs about the same thing.
don’t look at me while i grow is literally an insane line oh my god
dude for real!!! so much of how i’ve been feeling/felt in the past put perfectly into words
NO LITERALLY ive been going through this deep introverted phase after a breakup and a stressful school year and,, Yeah .
@@emmadoesartonline that’s real
Dodie is a master at stabbing me in the heart with a single line
Been feeling this one a lot 😕
calm down child, it's not that serious
You need to put these monthly songs on a CD. I’d definitely buy it. Even though half of it isn’t written yet. I know it will be awesome.
thisss
What's a CD?
@@GamingTheAce this is a joke right?
@@GamingTheAce please no don't do this to me 😭💀

“I’m getting good at enjoying the dark, why would I look if it tears me apart?” so good 😩💞
So so good ,she's really amazing , I also do music with not this much Subscribers, if you have some free time ,check it out

i really enjoy the compisition of one and how you flow in out of the major and minor of the key that you're in, really moving.
I just wanna say I freaking LOVE the stutter of 'even more' it's so mesmerising to an already eloquent melody.
i needed to hear this right now.
The overlays are just GORGEOUS in this Dodie, really made my feel things
That yellow dress on the swing with the greenery in the background is all so pretty
wow wow the production and editing on this one has me in awe im not gonna lie
every time dodie writes a song she kills me and i love her for it. thanks for aiming directly at my chest every single time
These are so great Dodie! You're so good at the storytelling aspect of songwriting, like your songs are mini plays with characters and arcs.
i keep coming back to this song. it hits something so deep in me.
Revisiting this song after two years, and I was struck by how indescribably beautiful it is.
I think you're doing a wonderful job, doddie ^-^ Your music has helped me so much over the years. and I just want to point out that YOU ARE GROWING. thank you, for being you and expressing yourself, you're wonderful. I wish you and I both find that person that grows with us. sending love, especially to you
These are always so beautiful! Amazing job Dodie. ❤ I can't wait until I get to this level in my audio work.
hate the fact that I just found you a few seconds ago. the hell i been?? love your stuff instantly, love what you been doin. and this one gets me right through the heart. damn you but thank you.
please release these as singles and at the end of the year as a full album! its too good for just TH-cam❤
Haunting as ever. There are so many things and I bet you'd do an extraordinary job at writing songs on any of them. Still, part of what makes your songs so meaningful, at least for me, is that I've never once felt they aren't genuine. It's nice to be able to relate and to feel and to not be alone in those feelings. You facilitate that realness with your realness, and I'm ever grateful for it.
okay it's been a while but dodie never fails to make me shed a tear because of her words 🥹
I never stopped being amazed by you! Such a great song. Every time I hear another one of your songs, it makes me want to write another. You are right there is always so much to write about but it's so easy to end up writing songs about the same thing.
This casual fragility is so convincing, so lovable, so near to the heart ... Thanks!
