tall kids - original dodie song | bedroom demo 

i feel like all your music has this underlying feeling of wanting and yearning to be with the others. cool girl, don’t quite belong, and now tall kids - that feeling of being small and angry and desperate to be seen. love it love it love it

THE VOCALS ON MAKE THEM CARE ARE YOU KIDDING ME DODIE more of that range please!!!!

This legitimately sounds like a conversation I’d have with the big man when I was a kid, just lying in bed asking him to make things change, then feeling guilty and letting him know I’m last priority

i have a tattoo of sick of losing soulmates. you walked me through childhood and helped me sort out some angry and sad thoughts and the growing pains of becoming an adult. you'll always always be someone that impacted me forever. im so glad you're continuing to grow and make art. i love u dodie

I feel like I've never heard Dodie's voice so low and deep as the "Make them care" line during the bridge, and it's so RICH and BEAUTIFUL

I wanna gate keep this woman til I die but simultaneously project her music to the entire universe

Dodie singing in their lower register is so gooood

the “make them care” was such a new sound to me. I felt like ive never heard it before and it sent shivers down my spine. Ty sm for this beautiful song!

2:18 oohh that "care" is so low and dodie does it so flawlessly!! love the chest voice !

OoooOOo that "make me magic make them 🌩care🌩" was so good i don't think ive ever heard such a nice brain-scartching note drop in one of your songs i love it

"make them care" really struck something deep inside me and cleared my skin!

I remember when Dodie had less than 1M and we wanted to keep her our little secret, but I’m so happy that she was able to grow in all directions and express herself 👏🏼 P.s I can’t remember when I did find her, but I do remember her in the Uni days.

as a short person with escapism problems i appreciate the literal and figurative message of the song 🫡

This is the quiet cousin to 'I wish that I could be like the cool kids'. Then again, dodie is basically sobering and quiet emo so 🤷‍♂️

Listening to this late at night with headphones feels so dreamy. This is really beautiful.

Instantly when the song started I felt like like I was in a lovely haze, thats the best way I can describe it, thank you dodie for the wonderful music journey you always seem to take me on with your songs

2:30 DODIE COMING IN WITH THE STRONG CHEST VOCALS YESSSSS DELIGHTFUL 😮‍💨😩😍

I feel like overtime I outgrew a lot of artists, and songs, but I truly believe you're one of the artists I grew as a person with and matured with years and years have passed but i still relate to you and the songs you make

2:16 this part really grabbed me- then that low note on "care" absolutely destroyed me

as a someone who constantly read for escapism from reality and daydreamed constantly about being just like the protagonists- kind, lovable, and always with a super cool magical power that made everyone root for them, that made everyone genuinely like them, this hit a bit too close to home in all the best of ways :,)

“Care” sounds like a mystic call - very real and open. It surprised me a bit. Never heard dodie go so low!

this song feels like a liminal space, like i'm caught in a dream or something. you're oozing talent. i'm very lucky to have grown up with you

Firstly, this is gorgeous and so true, and secondly that low "care" sounds incredible

I’m really overwhelmed by everything in my life right now, but this song is so soothing to my soul. Thank you. 💗

i really loved the richness on the "make them care" line and the slight vibrato, it's a really nice divergence and a fuller sound that's really pleasant to listen to

’Just look at me now, I’m high as a cloud.’ Sounds so dreamy.

melody reminds me of simon and garfunkel, wonderfully comforting and full of melancholy at the same time :') haunting, beautiful 💗

Such a lovely, talented, artist. So glad you were on a Scary Pockets episode, have been following you since then. I am an old woman whose soundtrack to my younger life was Joni Mitchell’s music. Your music is part of the soundtrack of my golden years. Peace and love.

This is absolutely stuuuuunning oh my god. Ethereal. Also that low note??? That made my brain bees very happy more of that please ✨

my fridge is buzzing in the same key as this song lol

that lower register my GOD

The reverb, the darkness(?) of how it sounds, the "look at me now, i'm high as a cloud" bit.... AH i love it!

dodie, i adore your music and lyricisms very much! i appreciate artists like you on youtube that sustain the 'music from my bedroom' aura from the early 2010s; it's got a wholesome yet melancholic feel to it. this 'new original song each month' idea was real clever, and i do hope you'll continue to do it next year as well. have a splendid day! :D

The ‘Make them magic, make them care’ oh my gosh that made me feel something 😍

I immediately imagined a cutscene while listening to this where this song would be playing while all the characters would be shown one by one and each of them would be dealing with their problems: one could be saying their final goodbye to someone they love, one could be dying, one could be running away, one could be crying or breaking down in their room,, it's amazing how much your music inspires other people to be creative 💚

as someone who is about to move countries for uni….. wow this hit REALLY HARD

make me magic make them care i’ll keep praying Its insane how as each month goes by, the songs that you release somehow relate to an event in my life as well. The feeling of wanting to be loved, to be a ‘’magic girl”, to be seen and to be appreciated. Thank you for sharing your magic in music.

Hoping and praying this gets released as a single because this has to be my favorite RU-vid dodie song so far. (Also on the note of releasing RU-vid songs-- we're all waiting on "One for the Road", dodie.😉)

This song tickles my brain in just the right way...

God that keyboard is the sweetest thing. this is what heaven sounds like.

I keep coming back to this. How can this be so perfect? How?

I loooooved the sound of your voice during the low points wow. I feel like I haven’t heard it work like that yet it’s beautiful

video editing and music has not changed at all in like... ten years. most consistent person i ever did see online.

Your song's always give me a sense of comfort! They are so creative and so many stories behind them!

those low notes on "make them care" ooOOoof i actually had to skip back and play that bit like 3 times

Woah this is hauntingly beautiful.. can't wait to know the lyrics inwards and outwards

This bridge is KILLING ME DUUUUUUUUUDE how is this a demo. This is too perfect to be a demo

in 2 years max, dodie is going to have an absolutely inescapable album. it’s gonna be everywhere. 2024

i genuinely cannot get enough of this song

pls pls pls i need this on spotify i’m defo getting everything in it’s right place by radiohead vibes ugh i adore this so much

BABE WAKE UP NEW DODIE ERA JUST DROPPED

dods this song evokes so many emotions please please release it on spotify i need to inject it into my blood stream

THOSE LOW NOTES, Dodie your voice in that range is BEAUTIFUL, I'd never heard you sing like that and it took me by surprise, I love the depth it adds to "make them care"

Dodie, this is brilliant. Reminds me of when my Dad used to play the Beatles to me in the car when I was little and I remember thinking „wow, this is different music, this is special music“. I get the same feeling when listening to your songs. And that brriiidgeee... girl... the quality of your voice during those lines... immaculate. I really hope to see you live someday. I remember you from back when I was still in school and now I‘m 25 lol. But I’ve always loved growing up with you. ♥️

DODIE YOUR VOICE OH MY GOD She has grown so much as a vocalist in the last few years i cant fucking WAIT to see what else she has in store for us

why is it always the best songs that are not released on spotify !!!!!

i feel like this is vaguely reminiscent of 'Burned Out' but it really reflects dodie's new era of music and i am all for it

woahhh that bridgeeee is so different to everything you've ever done i got chills

!!! BABE WAKE UP NEW DODIE SONG JUS DROPPED

This gives me serious like 2012 paramore vibes I don't know why but I'm LIVING for it.

this is the best vocal performance from dodie the "make them care" is so beautiful

I seriously think this is one of your best songs now aaaah

Wow I love the low notes you did in the song Dodie!

Wow a version with chorus of children singing 'let me be with the tall kids' would seriously melt

Ugh this song. Because I feel it so hard I'm tearing up. ITS SO GOOD The lyrics HIT

The 10 came up and I screamed. A date? An amount? A time frame? A count down ?! I’m so excited

I haven’t been keeping up with Dodie so idk if the number on the glasses was a bit or something but it totally reminds me of all the old ways she would tease albums. Especially what she said as she put them down

Omg the make them care line gives me goosebumps !

Dodie don't change anything to this version. If you ad anything else it won't have the same emotion stirring effect. It's perfect the way it is. ❤️

I need this song to be on Spotify so that I could drive with the windows down at autumn, and see the horizon burning in the twilight, and just feel sad and happy and hopeful

this song scratches an itch my brain i can't explain it but

No because I was taken about at “make them care” CUZ GIRL SLAY RANGE?? I’ve been following since I was like 12 and I’ve never heard that note from you before ahhh love love love it

I adore hearing your lower register! Bits of this give me massive attack vibes. Probably my favourite of your demos this year since the first one xx

Zomg, congrats on 2 million subs, dodie! What a great way to kick off 2 million ✌️🥳

Fascinating chord progressions. Love it

i love how delicately you pronounced 'clear'. gosh i'm in love with your voice.

The atmosphere of this is IMMACULATE and I am in TEARS

I fall in love with you more and more everytime. I feel like my soul understand you more than it ever understanded anyone. It's so strange. Feeling this connected to someone so far and out of reach. If you could put out sheet music for this I would absolutely play the hell out of this song.

this feels so comfortable and yet so sad

YSFDSHBTD the intonation on the word “care” in the bridge has me on the fucking floor my GOD

The soft voice and chime like music reminds me of Dodie singing Christmas songs.

I love this!!!!!!

the echo is so hypnotizing in a silky good way, it’s so dreamy & comforting

10/10 era

Huge fan of Make a Problem, and a lot of the songs on that album have a similar vibe to this. This is one of my new favorites! I love the harmonic choices, the REVERB, the vocal harmonies. It's so calming, but it's also longing for something, and hauntingly beautiful. More like this please 😊

THE BRIDGE?? THE LOW NOTES & HARMONIES??? brb crying forever

Love the switching between major and minor, creates a really cool unique feeling Also that 'Look at me now I'm high as a cloud' bit will not leave my head haha

this song is like thunder and lightning. it feels like the lightning that clears away the uncomfortable humidity. just perf

very radiohead, everything in its right place i love this sm

the bar skips!! the low vocal range!!! the delay effect in the bridge!!!!! the song knows how to have fun with itself i love that

I-Love-This-One. This is so cool ! For some reason the lyrics really talk to me, i mean yeah i was a small kid not popular, but it's more than that. Thank you so much for your music Dodie !

could you maybe talk us through the harmonies you’re playing? 😍

Dodie's ability to explain the theory behind her music is just a freaking magic show. Adding vibrato to a chord to increase the tension? Poly rhythms to fill in the voicings? Wow, freakin' wizard shit

I've been listening to your music for a couple months now and it's left such an impact on me it's not even funny. This song made me wanna cry. I yearn to be seen but this song does it for me. I love how down to earth and calm you are. It inspires me to sing covers again. Bring my inner child back to life. Thank you 🥺

Your music always makes me feel my own emotions (and most of them i'm not even aware I have). Ever since I was a teen, your music made me feel comforted and seen because everything I felt was expressed so painfully beautiful and sincere. And years by, even now, I find myself still crying in my bed at 3 am to one of your new songs! :,) It reminds me of the child I've been that was so, so desperate to be seen and icluded, while everything and everyone was out of reach, so all I could do is lay in my bed and hope, pray for a chance to become something taller than myself one day. Thank you for being there for me, dodie xx ❤

that low note on care straight up made me ascend

You make me feel so deeply sometimes I can't listen to your songs all the way through. thank you. But it makes me stronger. And then I get to listen to your songs all the way through. You are an Angel. Your songs have helped me with addiction .

HOLY---- i'm gonna need to listen to this about a million more times this is incredible

make me magic make them care, the melody is so beautiful

the chords are perfect!! beautiful voice to!
