white winter hymnal with my twin 

She's perfect I'm offended, starstruck and lowkey mad at her parents for putting such a perfect person on this earth. She's the reason I have such high standards.

*festiveness intensifies*

This is so comforting. I listen to it before bed or when I. Am stressed or getting anxious about life and crap.

*teacher asked question* Me: “I literally have no idea”

The writer said the song is "lyrically fairly meaningless" and it was more a song to focus on singing. Fleet foxes had actually hoped it would make people laugh but instead it confuses them. The lyrics are kind of about the painful loss of innocence (like sweet kids become drug dealers later on and friendships becoming less important than trends etc) Robin even said he meant for the song to be mildly uplifting like "whistle while you work" from snow white So I guess no one died...

either the editing is absolutely flawless or dodie actually had a secret clone *i think it's the latter, **#notmydodie*

‘who died?’ me skipping a season in the show and seeing a bunch of new characters

*Psst Dodie* The lead singer of Fleet Foxes (who wrote the song) said the lyrics are pretty meaningless. He just wanted to start the album out with a song that was focused on singing. He kinda likes how it confuses people.

LYRICS I was following the [8x] I was following the pack All swaddled in their coats With scarves of red tied 'round their throats To keep their little heads From fallin' in the snow And I turned 'round and there you go And, Michael, you would fall And turn the white snow red as strawberries In the summertime I was following the pack All swaddled in their coats With scarves of red tied 'round their throats To keep their little heads From fallin' in the snow And I turned 'round and there you go And, Michael, you would fall And turn the white snow red as strawberries In the summertime

0:46 the humming awwee

me: i should revise dodie: **posts a video of her singing with a mirror** me: what’s revision

This song is about that old story about the girl who was pressured into taking her scarf off by her lover, and when she finally did, her head fell off. That story is in turn based on a Grimm Brother’s fairytale about a stepmother who chopped off her stepson’s head and, to cover up, tied a handkerchief around his neck. ...Not really sure why it’s based on that, but there ya go!

I love how dodie is like dodie's own annoying sibling 😅

“Who died?” ME I FREAKING DIED OVER THIS GREAT VIDEO!

i think this song is about how during the French revolution the people wore coats that covered their entire body and red scarves to show that they were part of the revolution and they would walk in a pack but if you turned around the others would behead you and keep walking

That editing though 👌

at first I thought Hedy was in the mirror😂 alsoooo DANG this song is depressing loooool

I’ve pressed rewind for the hum in the middle far too many times. I LOVE IT

Name a more iconic duo, I'll wait

That beanie is so damn cute but also dodie is so damn cute and I can't handle it

hey i am in LOVE with you

LYRICS I was following the [6x] I was following the pack All swaddled in their coats With scarves of red tied 'round their throats To keep their little heads From fallin' in the snow And I turned 'round and there you go And, Michael, you would fall And turn the white snow red as strawberries In the summertime I was following the pack All swaddled in their coats With scarves of red tied 'round their throats To keep their little heads From fallin' in the snow And I turned 'round and there you go And, Michael, you would fall And turn the white snow red as strawberries In the summertime

I am so mesmerized by this

I did this song and the awkward duet for my practical music exam last year It went so well the examiners CLAPPED FOR US They never do that

omg!!! we're singing this in choir!!

I know you’ll probably never see this, but I’m genuinely in love with you and all of your music and covers. I’ve been following your journey for years now, and you are so amazing. I wish with all my heart that I could meet you, because you’re so much more than just an artist to me. Ilysm and even that is an understatement. 🖤

Dodie has inspired my to write a poetry book on Wattpad! Here is one of my favourites: stars: many people have idols be it a celebrity or even a parent but my idols are the stars because even long after they have died they still continue to shine. - jennifer

I feel like dodie’s voice is suited for any winter song. She could literally be singing ‘potato’ for an hour and make it christmas feely

i need an hour long version of this

IT HAS NEVER SNOWED WHERE I LIVE BEFORE AND THE DAY THIS WAS POSTED IT DID. THANK U DODIE

i was about to sleep but dodies new video is definitely priority

i cant listen to this song without doing the weird pentatonix hand motions

The only Christmas present I need💛

This is the content I subbed for!

HOW do you make a song about death sound so pretty dodie what

So captivating.. Every piece of content you create is beautifully done :) You're so talented Dodie xx

YALL I LIVE IN TEXAS AND IT IS SNOWWING! It must be the power of dodie!!!!!!

This is literal perfection

dodie - who died? Me- our achita Every rent head-Evita!

Melanie asked so here it is! I think of this song as a little frame of a childhood memory - maybe of a five or six year old. He is with a bunch of children, maybe running after the older kids, who just look like a bunch of coats since they are so bundled up. He thinks in his child's mind that the scarves keep their heads from falling off. Then he looks behind him and his friend has fallen and hurt himself and there is bright red blood in the snow. Sometimes a memory like that sticks with you even though you can't remember anything else about it. So Michael is the kid.

Plot twist : dodie actually has a twin😂

Her "twin" is so cute in the background! When she gives the little peace sign and then when she gets up to show her book!! Adorable!❤️💋😍

Conspiracy: Dodie is 5 people, a set of quintuplets.

I did not think I could love a version of this song more than Pentatonix's cover but the rawness of this is astounding.

LYRICS: I was following (6x) I was following the pack all swallowed in the coats With scarves of red tied ‘round their throats To keep their little heads from falling in snow And I’d turn ‘round and there you go And Michael you would fall And turn the white snow red as strawberries in the summer time Sorry if their are a lot of mistakes😬✌️

This was lovely and soft

we sang this with my choir, but the Pentatonix version and now I know 2 of the 5 hand thingies from their music video. thought that was a fact worth sharing 😂 anyway, i really liked this version dodieee!! also SO EXCITED FOR YOUR TOUR 🎄 goodnight xx

oh dodie you managed to make an ugly lesbian with braces, oversized glasses, a heavy period, proportions that are all wrong, anxiety, ocd and some truly negative feeling circling my appearance feel like a dainty snowflake. i feel beautiful. i feel... okay.

Whenever I get a little tired of Christmas music I listen to this song because it’s still wintery but not Christmasy????

okay first of all, sTOP BEING SO FREAKING GOOD AT SINGING and second i love the hat and burned out is beautiful and i can't stop listening to it. definitely studio-worthy

The song is based off the story the Juniper tree. It's pretty messed up in an oddly beautiful way. One of my favorite stories of all time

Pentatonix is quaking

dodie this is so artsy I love.

Every time I hear a cover of this song, I'm never disappointed. dodie, pentatonix, and birdy are my faves

did this give anyone else warm pentatonix flashbacks?? just me?? ;-;

this year, i haven't been feeling very christamassy, but this made me feel very festive!!! it's so wonderful!!!

I’ve never heard this song before dodie’s Christmas songs in a minor key and now the major version sounds wrong

i’m in tears cause i stan an actual goddess... or in this case goddesses

*has huge project due tomorrow* "oh dodie posted a vid" "it's only 2 mins long, i'll watch real quick and get to my work" *watches 8 times*

“who died?” “i don’t know” so cute

Fully thought that was Heddy in the mirror until you spoke. Beautifully done❤️

The original song was written by a wonderful band called fleet foxes! They're really good and I recommend you check them out, they have very nice relaxing and surreal music and they came out with a new album for the first time in four years. Highly recommend!

I always saw they were in some army or troop wearing heavy coats to keep warm, walking past the people who were hung from trees (scarves of red keeping them suspended above the snow) and then they hear a bang and he turns around and his friend (or himself ) Michael is shot first which turns the snow red like strawberries

the face she makes every time she says 'to keep their little heads from falling in the snow' is a mood in itself

why is she so fucking perfect

it's october why am i binge watching christmas dodie

DODIE I FREAKING LOVE YOU U AND YOUR TWIN!

the only good part of have been hospitalized for more than a month is coming back and have lots of un-watched dodie videos lol

dodie looks adorable in that beanie awwwh

YES QUEEN COMING IN WITH THE DOUBLE DODIE FUCKING SLAYING THE FESTIVE GAME

The song is by Fleet Foxes. It's about 4 brothers, and the youngest (Michael) used to bundle up in red coats before going outside to play in the snow but he would always fall or trip in the snow due to all the coats and jackets.

Yay! I get to give a quick history lesson: So long story short, there was a time in France where if you believed in God, you were persecuted and even executed. (See: "I was following the *pack* all swallowed in their coats, with scarves of *red* tied round their *throats* ") So, naturally, people kept their religion a secret as not to get executed via decapitation. (See: "To keep their little *heads from falling* in the snow.") Others however, such as this specific prophet named *Michael,* didn't care to hide their beliefs and religious practices. (See: "Then I turned round and there'd you go.") So one winter, this prophet Michael was persecuted and decapitated in front of a crowd for his beliefs. (See: "And *Michael,* you would *fall* and turn the white snow *red* as strawberries in the summertime.") This song, however, was not written about this story, as the creators of this song, Fleet Foxes, claim that they wrote the song to have no particular meaning. However, there's speculation that there's some relation to this story in the song, because it's too much of a coincidence not to be. And you know what we say about coincidence: The universe is rarely so lazy. 😉

This song has so much meaning to me I screamed when I saw the notification Our choir class last year was OBSESSED with this song, as the highschool decided to do it along with other songs for a performance Sense than you can tell if there’s a choir kid around, just by playing this song. If you turn it on I can promise you were all going to start screaming along all trying to do the harmonies at once. I was so nostalgic to watch this thank you Dodie

dodie talking to dodie is the cutest thing ever! Omg! Well done editing dodie. You are a good bean. 😊 Why am I here in October? Why not?

i just gasped SO LOUDLY this song is so special to my heart OMG

INFO ON THIS SONG Lead singer and songwriter Robin Pecknold (from Daytrotter): "It's lyrically fairly meaningless. As an introduction to the record, (this was intended to be the opening track on the album), we thought it would be nice to start it with a simple jam that's focussed on singing - on the record it starts with a tongue-in-cheek harmony thing that we hoped would make people laugh or something but I think it just confuses them. This is my favorite song to play live, though singing it live is sometimes difficult because the lyrics are so vague. Weird how that works!"

0:46 This humming... It's literal heaven.

who DID die? who is MICHAEL?? what happened??? what a mysterious song

i thought it was hedy back there and then suddenly another dodie popped out and i was VERY confused for a few seconds

Idk why I didn't comment this when this 1st came out but I love how calming your version of the songs makes me feel. It's super pleasant and nice.

my choir and i have been practicing this song for ages and our concert is in a week and it was so cool to hear you sing a song that i've been working on for a while you are amazing and im glad to see that you're back!

this was so soft and peaceful

it's getting christmassy when ur digging up doddlevloggle christmas vids

My ears have officially been blessed brb while I listen to this on repeat for the next 5 years

i paused riverdale for this dodie - holding those true loyalties, y’know

I BOUGHT YOUR BOOK AND I CRIED FLIPPING THROUGH IT

I was just watching dodie , and now I’m here to watch more dodie. Very happy :)

yesssss I wonder if anyone considered this Christmas-y 'til Pentatonix covered it. IN ANY CASE, this is a fav of mine, and your take on it is lovely :)

You should make a Christmas album with a bunch of song covers (including this)! That would be super good!

this christmas mood is so incredible I think we should just rename it dodiemas

I've been binge-listening to this recently, and then you cover it...

These have got to be the sweetest most pure harmonies my ears have ever been graced with in my life.

History of the song: during the Russian Revolution, people had to wear red scarves (similar to how Jews had to wear the Star of David during WWII) and if they were seen without a scarf they were to be hanged and so, quite literally, their scarves would "keep their heads from falling in the snow" Beautiful song until you observe the lyrics

GAH I CAN'T IT'S SO CUTE

I love Dodie so fucking much. Like, how can you not? She's literally the image of perfectly imperfect and that's what I love about her. And her music is just the cherry on top!

dodie makes the holidays 100x better

hey dodie! i was wondering, your vocals are so warm and i was wondering what mic + DAW you use

i am actually going to cry,,,, i listened to this song (done by fleet foxes) so much when i was really young and then completely forgot about it. there are so many memories of old friends and adventures in the fall and summer camps miles away from home that are entangled in these sounds. now that im hearing it,its all coming back and is honestly so beautiful this is why i listen to dodie

The humming was insane

This is so calming and beautiful!!
