The way Dodie and Thomas look at each other, it’s obvious how much they love each other. Not like romantically, because Thomas is gay, but they just have such great chemistry as really, really good friends and I love how you can tell that they each think (know) that the other is amazing and talented and charismatic. Beautiful.
This comment section, a summery: 60% of people loving the harmonies 30% of people crying 20% of people wishing they can sing like dodie and Thomas 10% realizing the snipe part was a reference from UP
ItsWayPastMyBedTime I now need to see Carrie, Thomas and Dodie cover a song altogether. Imagine that three part harmony 😭 I would completely die of happiness
Disney movie concept: Dodie plays a princess and Thomas plays a prince, it's geared just like a romance between the two but it ends with her falling for her hand maid and him falling for his right hand man. They end it and become awesome queerlicious besties
But.. Rapunzel didn't want to be alone and just stare outside the window, watching the birds. She wanted the exact opposite: have company and be outside to see the world.
Thomas: I want to make a song about serenity and wanting to be alone Thomas: I'll make it a duet (edit literally THREE YEARS LATER i know this wasn’t originally a duet pLEASE-)

I relate to this song on a very very personal level This song is a hugely accurate representation of my social life I'm scared and calm at the same time I need this song
ok but dodie and thomas are like the nicest and sweetest people on youtube and seeing them together making videos just warms my heart so much, listening to them sing makes me feel envelopped in a big warm cocoon of fluffy blankets and i hope we'll see more of them together in the future ❤ thank you both for being such great human beans, i love you so so much ❤

Hey from 2024. In 2017 I listed to this video over and over again to calm myself before med school interviews. Now I’m 25, a doctor, and still working in the hospital I went to that interview in. I come back every now and then to take me back to those moments on the couches in the waiting area I now know SO well. It takes me right back to little me sitting on that couch on one of the most important days in my life. It’s lovely and nostalgic and fills my heart with joy :)
Okay, so I have something interesting to say about this song. My drama teacher started a musical theatre class this semester and it is my 1st period. Yesterday, she asked us to find a song that describes us, and I chose this song because I feel like it perfectly describes how I feel about most things. Most of the time, I'm perfectly happy just sitting with my own thoughts and watching the world go by around me. Today, we read the lyrics of the song we chose out loud to the class, and then my teacher told us to make the lyrics of our song into a monologue. That'll be interesting! Wish me luck! Thanks Thomas and Dodie for this song; I absolutely love it!
I once had to write a monologue for drama class in grade 9. It could be anything we want and it was around the time Dodie officially got a vevo account and I was listening to Sick of Losing Soulmates constantly and by monologue was highly inspired and based on it
Dee Chee well good and bad news, most likely they were dating back in spring but broke up. (she wrote "Paris themed for reasons" in her new video when she was singing "you". You is about a breakup, Jon and Dodie were supposed to go to Paris together back in spring.)
Aaaaaaaaaah 😍😍😍😍 I like this too much Their voices's are so different but it goes well together Thomas has a strong, confident voice Dodie has a soft high lullaby voice Together its perfect

Petition for Thomas to be the first bi Disney Prince and Dodie to be the princess that decides she doesn't need a prince and smiles happily at Thomas' wedding.
I want Thomas to be a disney prince, but he's not bi. He's gay and has said it multiple times (just thought you should know because he's getting a bit tired of repeating it)
When has he said he's into girls? He said his vines are just roles he plays and that they don't represent his sexuality at all. And in the European bingo video Joan calls him bi-curious and Thomas says "no i'm gay" or something like that. also instagram.com/p/BYeP2iEAtdl/?hl=en&taken-by=thomassanders he literally says he's gay here. He's not bi, he's gay
double bubble disco queen you know that i prefer much more fast paced songs as they can hold a deep meaning but very rarely do you catch them and when you do you think it suitd the pace of the aforementioned song but with slow paced songs you feel comforted by its light melody but when you listen to them they have a very deep meaning most of the time and i find that meaning very unnerving for such a light hearted song to hold something so moving.but then again its just my own opinion
Thomas Sanders, my name is Julia. I am 13 years old, and you, my good sir, have been the first person to make me smile since my parents divorce. I just watched this video and broke down and cried immediately after. You see, with most modern music being about sex, money, and fame, I rarely see music that so effortlessly captures the emotions of just wishing to be alone and collect your thoughts such as this flawless piece of music. And well, since I'm a teen, my blissfully ignorant parents just assume that because I wish to be alone, I must be depressed and need drugs and other things to "fix" me. Yet, it's ironic, that you: a complete stranger have made feel more loved and understood than my estranged mother or therapist ever have. I know that you have never met me, and I won't pretend that you somehow are my friend, and that you may never see this comment, but I wish to say, thank you. It's people like you that make the painful days just a little more bearable. Thank you, complete stranger, for returning my smile. I love what you do. And while it may be random, you hold my complete respect and admiration. And I pray to god that you see this comment, because you sir, are changing the shitty world we live in as we know it, one smile at a time. Much love, Thomas Sanders, much love. 1 year later update: Wow. Thank you all so much for sharing your stories with me, it’s so comforting to know that strangers know how I feel and have similar lives as me. Thank you all for the support and I love you all. I’ve read through the replies and I cannot believe how much love there is in the world in places you would never expect. People like Thomas really bring us together, so really, thank you guys. It’s people like you and Thomas that inspire each other to just keep going. -Julia, 14.
Julia Grace :D You are an amazing human and I had just been crying for half an hour straight but saw your comment and stopped crying! I am 14, and asexual so crying is common for me sadly. I have multiple mental disorders like OCD depression and anxiety. Whatever it is you are going through you will get through it and if your parents say they don’t love you Mr. Thomas Sanders and I will love you and keep you smiling! 😇😘🙃
My parents got divorced when I was in second grade. My mom became highly HIGHLY abusive towards me and my dad just became emotional blocked off. This broke me and cause me to have been diagnosed with multiple mental illnesses. Most of which just make it easier for me to sit quietly in my room, content with myself. Which confuses everyone around me. So you aren't alone, my friend. A lot of people relate not only to these amazing songs, but to your kind comment.
that was beautiful of what you said I know how you feel my aunt and grandad and great uncle died in the same year and your comment made me cry that at least someone out there realised what the world has become and there are greater music so thank you for this you made me happy about the world.so thank you again.:)
This made me cry. I understand you, when you say you like being alone. I haven't been through a divorce but I've witnessed many within my friends and family, as well as having troubles of my own like many who have commented here (anxiety, major depressive disorder, ocd, bpd, paranoia and so on). It's good to isolate yourself to let your mind be free for a bit. It's amazing how much strangers can understand us more than those around us like family - I am very different with mine and am quite frankly closer to my pets than them because of how emotionally unavailable they all are. I hope life rewards you with positivity and strength. Teens are difficult (I should know, I'm 18 and have survived most of them) but stuff that we go through builds us up stronger than we ever thought we could be and that is something to look back on with a smile.
This song helps me so much with my panic attacks, like whenever I'm stressed or feel like I can't breathe right and need to calm down I play this song and it helps me so much, I just picture myself looking at the birds. Once a truck almost ran into my dads car and I didn't really want to have a breakdown in front of my dad so I started playing this song and I felt so much better
I had a panic attack in gym the other day and start to quietly sing this to myself, I still sat out for the rest of the class but it calmed me down much quicker
Yes, your voice and both of your voices together are SO GOOD As others have said, HOW are you not voicing some type of animated prince yet?? I didn't hear it at first, but now that's all I can hear. Love your voice!
His voice is very musical theater with vibrato and it's very smooth, while hers is very indie, sort of whispery at times and that sort of talk-tone singing that indie singers often have. I never thought their voices would go together, but it sounds so good!!!
Okay but imagine these two as a disney duo! Thomas has the prince-like voice while Dodie's is nice and soft. They don't have to be a couple but maybe friends going on an adventure. seriously Disney I need this to happen. Like now.
This song saved my life. About a year ago I was going to commit suicide, I was browsing TH-cam and thus song came up on my list of reccomendations , I listened to it and decided life might be worth it. I'm no 13 and in the best mental health I've ever been in.
I hope you’re doing good now! If not, I hope you’re healing, and it’ll get better! Just keep on going okay? I’m rooting for you and you will be okay! You are loved ❤️
I really hope you're doing beter and I just want to let you know that you're not alone because I have been feeling the same way you did back then. Even tho I'm a stranger on the internet I sent you all the love❤
wow, i thank God you’re still alive. it’s crazy how little children feel like suicide is the way. keep finding ways to keep yourself uplifted. and if you aren’t already Christian, you really should look into that! i’ve found so much peace and pure joy being involved in the Christian community and even when i’ve had seemingly depressive episodes or short times like those, God immediately helps bring me back to reality that everything’s okay. i hope you hear me out, friend ❤️ and i pray that you stay joyful
this completely describes me because sometimes i don't want to do anything, but i don't want to go home because i dont do anything there either, an sometimes just being outside by yourself and not thinking, just breathing and focusing on one thing can make you feel so calm and for once be ok with who you are and what you are doing and not think that you are wasting your teenage years and that your whole life isn't a waste and that sometimes you just have to be by yourself to finally find yourself :)
Except for that last bit, you captured what this song is actually saying. Thanks. I hate all these comments about "an introvert's song"...it's got nothing to do with from where one derives one's energy. Your comment is much appreciated.
when thomas said ''until next time guys,gals and non-binary pals'' it really warmed my heart bc i've recently come to realize that i identify as agender ❤️ (also i'm new this channel so idk if he says it in every video but this is the first one i've seen)
The way Dodie and Thomas look at each other, it’s obvious how much they love each other. Not like romantically, because Thomas is gay, but they just have such great chemistry as really, really good friends and I love how you can tell that they each think (know) that the other is amazing and talented and charismatic. Beautiful.
But Is It Dodie Yellow Tho? You commented on the dear happy video
Keri adair willis I KNOW but every vid they do together it’s the same beauty so IM ALLOWED TO OK
Dodie’s bi also
Brooklyn Darkage both of them are

I think it’s more “contrasts” and not “contradicts” but I agree entirely
Today's word is: Juxtaposition
Ikr im having trouble deciding if I like this or the original more
Emma Alise this one for me

Tangled remake 2020
I WAS THINKING ABOUT THIS
But.. Rapunzel didn't want to be alone and just stare outside the window, watching the birds. She wanted the exact opposite: have company and be outside to see the world.
Nadine K a very very good point. this song should be reserved for a new, introverted disney princess. or perhaps for cinderella? who knows
Like 555
Thomas: I want to make a song about serenity and wanting to be alone
Thomas: I'll make it a duet
(edit literally THREE YEARS LATER i know this wasn’t originally a duet pLEASE-)
It wasn't originally a duet it was sang by Terrence!
STILL WORKED AMAZINGLY
Iroooooony
Well- its originally from Ultimate Storytime and the character who sings it is reserved
For some people with anxiety having one or two specific people with them counts as being alone.
Who else is wondering how many times they had to retake this.
And can you put it on Spotify please!

Birds
I don't wanna drive a fancy car today
I don't wanna ride in a red corvette
I don't wanna jog my Saturday away
But I don't wanna go home yet
Today is not the day to jump out of a plane
I don't wanna parasail or play roulette
I don't wanna risk it all or go insane
But I don't wanna go home yet
I just want to watch the birds go by
from my handy foldable blue canvas throne
I wanna watch them fly and fly
And see them soar up into the unknown
But I'd feel just like a nerd, watching birds, watching me here all alone
I don't wanna break dance or learn tai Kwon do
I don't wanna fish till all the fish are gone
I don't wanna roller skate even if it's slow
I don't wanna pass out in a marathon
I don't like soccer, baseball track or field
I'm not up for a match of polo
I don't wanna seek or try to stay concealed
I'm also not up for... water polo
I just wanna watch the birds up there
Track the migratory patterns that they flow
I wanna watch them from my chair
With my binoculars, my latte and my phone
Trying to spot a lark in the park parked in nature all alone
Alone here with the doves and the sparrows and the ospreys, the owlets, the eagles and mynas
It's just me and mr finch, the robins, the kingfishers, the snipes, though I heard they don't exist
Each little species and it's little way can teach me what awaits you if you can get away
I wanna watch the birds do what they will
Sorry if I'm ornithologically prone
I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing, quiet calm still
Sit right here and gaze at the unknown
I don't wanna fly in the sky, I just wanna be alone.
I just wanna be alone
Your welcome

Lyrics:
I don't wanna drive a fancy car today
i don't wanna ride in a red corvette
i dont wanna jog my saturday away
But i don't wanna go home yet
Today is not the day to jump out of a plane
i don't wanna parasail or play roulette
I don't wanna risk it all or go insane
But i don't wanna go home yet
I just wanna watch the birds go by
from my handy foldable blue canvas throne
I wanna watch them fly and fly
And see them soar up into the unknown
But I'd feel just like a nerd, Watching birds
Watching me here all alone
I don't wanna breakdance or learn teakwondo
I don't wanna fish til all the fish are gone
I don't wanna roller skate even if it's slow
I don't wanna pass out in a marathon
I don't like soccer, baseball, track or field
I am not up for a match of polo
I don't wanna seek or try to stay concealed
I am also not up for water polo
I just wanna watch the birds up there
Track the migratory patterns that they've flown
I wanna watch them from my chair
With my binoculars, my latte and my phone
trying to spot a lark, in the park, parked nature all alone
alone here with the doves,
and the sparrows and the ospreys,
the owlets, the egrets, and my list
It's just me and Mr. Finch
The robins, the kingfishers, the snipes
Though i heard they don't exist
Each little specie in it's little way can teach me
what awaits you if you can get away
I wanna watch
The birds do what they will
Sorry if i'm ornithologically prone
I wanna watch from somewhere undisturbing
Quiet, calm, still
sit right here and gaze at the unknown
I don't wanna fly
In the sky
I just wanna be alone
[SPOKEN] It's not a big deal or anything
[SUNG] I just wanna be alone
Thanks fellow member of the phamily :3

Hey from 2024. In 2017 I listed to this video over and over again to calm myself before med school interviews. Now I’m 25, a doctor, and still working in the hospital I went to that interview in. I come back every now and then to take me back to those moments on the couches in the waiting area I now know SO well. It takes me right back to little me sitting on that couch on one of the most important days in my life. It’s lovely and nostalgic and fills my heart with joy :)
I JUST REALIZED THAT THE SNIPE WAS AN UP REFERENCE AND THIS IS LEGIT MY 10TH TIME WATCHING THIS
GoAheadAndTryMe 8D IT IS?
Now I'm crying. Thanks, Pete.
It could be. A snipe is a popular fictional bird. Ps GoAheadAndTryMe 8D is your name referencing Steven Universe or am I imagining that?
OMG NOW I NOTICE THANKS FOR MAKING ME CRY M8
Okay, so I have something interesting to say about this song. My drama teacher started a musical theatre class this semester and it is my 1st period. Yesterday, she asked us to find a song that describes us, and I chose this song because I feel like it perfectly describes how I feel about most things. Most of the time, I'm perfectly happy just sitting with my own thoughts and watching the world go by around me. Today, we read the lyrics of the song we chose out loud to the class, and then my teacher told us to make the lyrics of our song into a monologue. That'll be interesting! Wish me luck! Thanks Thomas and Dodie for this song; I absolutely love it!
I once had to write a monologue for drama class in grade 9. It could be anything we want and it was around the time Dodie officially got a vevo account and I was listening to Sick of Losing Soulmates constantly and by monologue was highly inspired and based on it
How did it go?
early.... ALSO, THOMAS AND DODIE BLESS YOU
I'm 26th but I came here 7 seconds after posting
more like dodie lark haha.. get it like the bird.
I'm sorry I'll go now
please, by all means, stay
Booismydog wAteR pOLo
no it was good
Nice joke of the year bro.
this is officially my fav youtube comment
I love the way your voices blend 😍 They sound so beautiful together.
Hallie Ramos I guess you could say their voices intertwine
Sarah Malia 👌👌👌👌👌
Hallie Ramos I love there voices I want to learn how to blend my voice with my friends like they did with each other
I KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
Hallie Ramos I know I totally agree!!
I can't stop watching this video. I'd pay all the moneys for a Dodie/Thomas Sanders album this is so lovely and soothing.
I've always had a crush on Thomas
Who hasnt
Who doesn't
I always have and probs always will
If I was straight, I’m lesbian, I would too!
Who hasn't
THERE IS NO WAY IM GIVING UP ON JODIE
but ugh this is cute
Dee Chee me too, me too.
Dee Chee your pfp adds way more to this comment 😂
Dee Chee well good and bad news, most likely they were dating back in spring but broke up. (she wrote "Paris themed for reasons" in her new video when she was singing "you". You is about a breakup, Jon and Dodie were supposed to go to Paris together back in spring.)
the moment when you're singing this all alone and you try to harmonize like Dodie and Thomas did
same!!!!
Chelssy Joseph yep.....
Me minus the harmonizing and add a dying bird's screech
Chelssy Joseph sooooo tru
Chelssy Joseph M O O D
seeing both so calmed make me want not be mad
hey, there's this cool thing people are using now. I think it's called "grammar"
Well at least she tried, and she's probably not a native English speaker. So no need to be so nasty about it
captain zhaji Most people are crap at grammar on the internet. Not saying you're wrong though
Yes, diffinatly!
Aaaaaaaaaah
😍😍😍😍
I like this too much
Their voices's are so different but it goes well together
Thomas has a strong, confident voice
Dodie has a soft high lullaby voice
Together its perfect
ok but hear me out: a song with dodie, thomas, jon, rusty and tessa all together
Emma Popcorn OMG YES
Emma Popcorn i don't think i'd survive that 😭😭😭
A ROUND WITH ALL OF THEM IN IT
And also I keep seeing you all over dodies videos ms popcorn
Maddy Macdonald i'm just trash okay

I just want to watch the birds go by

But I'd feel just like a nerd, watching birds, watching me here all alone
I don't wanna break dance or learn tai Kwon do
I don't wanna fish till all the fish are gone
I don't wanna roller skate even if it's slow
I don't wanna pass out in a marathon
I don't like soccer, baseball track or field
I'm not up for a match of polo
I don't wanna seek or try to stay concealed
I'm also not up for... water polo
I just wanna watch the birds up there

Azuré Thoughts
That doesn't make sense. What list? A myna (also spelled mynah) is a bird, which would fit in much better with the song's title.
Phoebe Sulistio list of birds this person wants to see. And the lyric is ACTUALLY "list"
Petition for Thomas to be the first bi Disney Prince and Dodie to be the princess that decides she doesn't need a prince and smiles happily at Thomas' wedding.
YES I love it this needs to happen
yes. no other comment.
I want Thomas to be a disney prince, but he's not bi. He's gay and has said it multiple times (just thought you should know because he's getting a bit tired of repeating it)
psychedseer literally though he's said that he's into guys and girls multiple times so. I know I say I'm gay a lot but I'm actually pan
When has he said he's into girls? He said his vines are just roles he plays and that they don't represent his sexuality at all. And in the European bingo video Joan calls him bi-curious and Thomas says "no i'm gay" or something like that. also instagram.com/p/BYeP2iEAtdl/?hl=en&taken-by=thomassanders he literally says he's gay here. He's not bi, he's gay
We need this version of the song on Spotify!! We have Terrance singing, and it's wonderful but we also need Dody too!!
where can I find more soft songs like this?
go look at of any of the videos on the girls channel(:
double bubble disco queen you know that i prefer much more fast paced songs as they can hold a deep meaning but very rarely do you catch them and when you do you think it suitd the pace of the aforementioned song but with slow paced songs you feel comforted by its light melody but when you listen to them they have a very deep meaning most of the time and i find that meaning very unnerving for such a light hearted song to hold something so moving.but then again its just my own opinion
I feel like they could so use this in Steven Universe.
Fabulous Floof watching bird MOMS
KaitlynYT Dude.....uh idk maybe the bird mom
KaitlynYT I was thinking it could be a duet between Steven and Connie, possibly with thomas's part pitched up an octave.
Fabulous Floof Oh, yeah. I've never thought about that. That's a good idea.
The Orca Nation Pearl has had plenty of songs, while I love her singing, I also want other characters to sing too.
Thomas Sanders, my name is Julia. I am 13 years old, and you, my good sir, have been the first person to make me smile since my parents divorce. I just watched this video and broke down and cried immediately after.
You see, with most modern music being about sex, money, and fame, I rarely see music that so effortlessly captures the emotions of just wishing to be alone and collect your thoughts such as this flawless piece of music. And well, since I'm a teen, my blissfully ignorant parents just assume that because I wish to be alone, I must be depressed and need drugs and other things to "fix" me. Yet, it's ironic, that you: a complete stranger have made feel more loved and understood than my estranged mother or therapist ever have.
I know that you have never met me, and I won't pretend that you somehow are my friend, and that you may never see this comment, but I wish to say, thank you. It's people like you that make the painful days just a little more bearable. Thank you, complete stranger, for returning my smile. I love what you do.
And while it may be random, you hold my complete respect and admiration. And I pray to god that you see this comment, because you sir, are changing the shitty world we live in as we know it, one smile at a time. Much love, Thomas Sanders, much love.
1 year later update: Wow. Thank you all so much for sharing your stories with me, it’s so comforting to know that strangers know how I feel and have similar lives as me. Thank you all for the support and I love you all. I’ve read through the replies and I cannot believe how much love there is in the world in places you would never expect. People like Thomas really bring us together, so really, thank you guys. It’s people like you and Thomas that inspire each other to just keep going.
-Julia, 14.
Julia Grace :D You are an amazing human and I had just been crying for half an hour straight but saw your comment and stopped crying! I am 14, and asexual so crying is common for me sadly. I have multiple mental disorders like OCD depression and anxiety. Whatever it is you are going through you will get through it and if your parents say they don’t love you Mr. Thomas Sanders and I will love you and keep you smiling! 😇😘🙃
My parents got divorced when I was in second grade. My mom became highly HIGHLY abusive towards me and my dad just became emotional blocked off. This broke me and cause me to have been diagnosed with multiple mental illnesses. Most of which just make it easier for me to sit quietly in my room, content with myself. Which confuses everyone around me. So you aren't alone, my friend. A lot of people relate not only to these amazing songs, but to your kind comment.
that was beautiful of what you said I know how you feel my aunt and grandad and great uncle died in the same year and your comment made me cry that at least someone out there realised what the world has become and there are greater music so thank you for this you made me happy about the world.so thank you again.:)
This made me cry. I understand you, when you say you like being alone. I haven't been through a divorce but I've witnessed many within my friends and family, as well as having troubles of my own like many who have commented here (anxiety, major depressive disorder, ocd, bpd, paranoia and so on). It's good to isolate yourself to let your mind be free for a bit. It's amazing how much strangers can understand us more than those around us like family - I am very different with mine and am quite frankly closer to my pets than them because of how emotionally unavailable they all are. I hope life rewards you with positivity and strength. Teens are difficult (I should know, I'm 18 and have survived most of them) but stuff that we go through builds us up stronger than we ever thought we could be and that is something to look back on with a smile.
i don't have a sad story to share with you all but i'm glad everyone in this thread is feeling better. :-)
i love how thomas’s voice can be loud and bold but it can also be so quiet and subtle and everything in between. honestly his singing is so beautiful
This song helps me so much with my panic attacks, like whenever I'm stressed or feel like I can't breathe right and need to calm down I play this song and it helps me so much, I just picture myself looking at the birds. Once a truck almost ran into my dads car and I didn't really want to have a breakdown in front of my dad so I started playing this song and I felt so much better
Natalie Elizabeth it does the same for me :) xx
Natalie Elizabeth i cant relate
moore!!!!
I had a panic attack in gym the other day and start to quietly sing this to myself, I still sat out for the rest of the class but it calmed me down much quicker
I NEED THEM TO SELL THIS AS WELL AS BE IN A DISNEY MOVIE TOGETHER PLEASE & THANK YOU
Ahh you should do more singing videos I love ur voice so much!
also your voices sound so good together ahh
Shannara Hill couldn't agree more!
Shannara Hill more dining videos
i miss this kind of videos 😢
Yes, your voice and both of your voices together are SO GOOD
As others have said, HOW are you not voicing some type of animated prince yet?? I didn't hear it at first, but now that's all I can hear. Love your voice!
Abbie Grier what a bop
The cute lil smirk/smile that Thomas and Dodie share after the song!!
His voice is very musical theater with vibrato and it's very smooth, while hers is very indie, sort of whispery at times and that sort of talk-tone singing that indie singers often have. I never thought their voices would go together, but it sounds so good!!!
Their voices together are like drinking sleepy time tea.

i feel this comment on a spiritual level
FightMeKeemstar SAME HEREEE 😍😍
Okay but imagine these two as a disney duo! Thomas has the prince-like voice while Dodie's is nice and soft. They don't have to be a couple but maybe friends going on an adventure. seriously Disney I need this to happen. Like now.
Six years later and this song is still such a vibe❤❤❤
The ultimate introvert song...
They sound so beautiful together that it makes me want to cry.
is my stupid laptop glitching or is that ethan nestor as ur profile picture...
I relate to this song on spiritual levels
Restart button! 0:00
Well that's a first!! 😂
You should upload instrumentals of your songs so that people who can't play instruments can still sing these songs. It would make us spooky happy
I remember this video was the reason I started watching Dodie's videos and now I think i'm on the edge of tears listening to this again.
Mood: Listening to this 36 times in a row. Literally. It really helped me write
you counted??
Maybe it was on replay, and all that was needed was to divide the time that'd passed with the duration of the song.
This song saved my life.
About a year ago I was going to commit suicide, I was browsing TH-cam and thus song came up on my list of reccomendations , I listened to it and decided life might be worth it. I'm no 13 and in the best mental health I've ever been in.
I hope you’re doing good now! If not, I hope you’re healing, and it’ll get better! Just keep on going okay? I’m rooting for you and you will be okay! You are loved ❤️
Look I know your a random person on the internet but you have my support aight? *_I won’t take no for an answer_*
listen i know i don’t know you but if love and support were a physical object, i would shower you with them
I really hope you're doing beter and I just want to let you know that you're not alone because I have been feeling the same way you did back then. Even tho I'm a stranger on the internet I sent you all the love❤
wow, i thank God you’re still alive. it’s crazy how little children feel like suicide is the way. keep finding ways to keep yourself uplifted. and if you aren’t already Christian, you really should look into that! i’ve found so much peace and pure joy being involved in the Christian community and even when i’ve had seemingly depressive episodes or short times like those, God immediately helps bring me back to reality that everything’s okay. i hope you hear me out, friend ❤️ and i pray that you stay joyful
The harmony in this song is real
This song makes me cry like a baby
it does the same thing to me. if you like them you may like my channel. you should totally give it a little look it would mean a lot
this completely describes me because sometimes i don't want to do anything, but i don't want to go home because i dont do anything there either, an sometimes just being outside by yourself and not thinking, just breathing and focusing on one thing can make you feel so calm and for once be ok with who you are and what you are doing and not think that you are wasting your teenage years and that your whole life isn't a waste and that sometimes you just have to be by yourself to finally find yourself :)
Except for that last bit, you captured what this song is actually saying. Thanks. I hate all these comments about "an introvert's song"...it's got nothing to do with from where one derives one's energy. Your comment is much appreciated.
Dodie is such a sunflower
Anyone agree they sounded perfect during the chorus xxx
P L E A S E DOES ANYONE HAVE CHORDS THIS SONG IS SO CUTE
thnks fr th meme-eries I'll let you know when I figure them out! I'm almost
*almost done figuring them out 👌🏻
chloe plz do tell!!
chloe AWH thank you so much!!
plzzzz
A dynamic duo if I've ever heard one.
if you listen with headphones it's like Thomas is on the right and Dodie is on the left. ooh. chills
when thomas said ''until next time guys,gals and non-binary pals'' it really warmed my heart bc i've recently come to realize that i identify as agender ❤️ (also i'm new this channel so idk if he says it in every video but this is the first one i've seen)
Eda M He does! hes very inclusive its lovely! also WEL COME youll love it!
Eda M Luckily, he does say it in every video. Congrats on finding your true self, fellow phandom member!
Helo fellow agender friend
Me too! I had to replay* that last part because it's so rare that we are included. It was very heart warming. :D
Eda M Hey my fellow agender friend! Each time he says it I have to smile. It feels so great to be included
Let's be honest they probably sat like this so Thomas would stop looking at Dodie.
tHERE GOES ANY CALM I HAD LEFT
THIS IS WHAT I THOUGHT OMG
DON'T DO THIS TO ME OKAY SHE'S ALREADY FOUND THE JODIE SHIP VIDEOS WE DON'T NEED ANOTHER ONE XD
Seems to me like it was a representation of "being alone"
Bryony The Overthinking Pigeon you know what, I'm starting to question who to ship. Jon Cozart and Dodie, or Thomas Sanders and Dodie.
Thomas you're voice is SO AMAZING ❤ I'm totally in love
i know
Same
In love....with Thomas or his voice
lets go with both
Too bad, he's gay
