Dodie Clark - A Song About A Song Lyrics
I'm a musical girl, and I like to play
But sometimes things don't quite go my way
And I'm not quite sure what to say
(I could give you some advice!)
I'm humming the tune, and I'm liking the sound
(Me too!)
But on my paper there's no words to be found
(Look, there's a word there and a word there and a word there!)
It would sound so neat, with something sorrowful
(I'm already crying!)
Or perhaps some words about how much I love you
(Ooh, thank you very much!)
But instead you're stuck, with a song about a song
I couldn't think of anything else to say
I promise I'll write a better one another day
(Yay)
And have you noticed that I've changed the key
(No, have you?)
The first bit was an A major actually
(Oh yeah!)
But I couldn't figure out, how to get back
Right now I think its in E flat
(Is it?)
In fact
This song sounds completely different, to the start
(Well at least it goes)
I need to end it now, but I don't know how
(Awh, that's fine!)
So this will do?
(yep)
Ok

Dodie Clark A Song About A Song Comments
You as a male looks like my old youth pastor
Kinda sounds like the perfect song for a Type 9
“Did you like my boii? Did I look like a boii?”
🤣😂 No one:
Brodie clark : literally eating paper😂😂😂😂
22/1/2020 ✨
Dodie as a man has just confirmed my bisexuality
dude-ie clark
WHY DID I JUST FIND THIS NOW IM MAD AT MYSELF WTF
😄😄😄👍
when you're home alone
Stellar one, our Dodie!
It’s confirmed dodie has a twin!!
dodie, 2016: can you drink all my thoughts?
dodie, 2019: i'll pick up the words you said
, put them in my mouth instead
all your songs are so relatable ily
Lowkey dodie looks good with or without a beard
Why is this not on Spotify 😭😭😭😭
Landon cider wishes she looked like this
Dodie and Orla both look sick with beards
I- same
i woke up at 3:30am for no reason and i haven’t watched your videos since like 2016 and it’s so crazy to see how you’ve progressed, also this song is so great lol
Clarinet - it explains everything!!!
Has Dodie intentionally aged up the female version here?
Can you please put this on spotify?
i havent pressed play yet but from the thumbnail and title/name of song "Think too HARD" i feel like it could be about certain types of male youtube singers in the early 2010s
guess not. enjoyed it though. interesting bit at the end that you left in about how the song came to be.
this song SLAPS
love you dodie <333 you an amazing human.
Everything about this video is flawless. I can't stop watching it.
"did you like my boi? did I look like a boi??"
taking eating your words to a new more literal level
Omg I play clarinet! I need the notes ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Gonna tell my kids this was Thiago Iorc
I really love this perspective because it's really me. Everything else talks about so many feelings but most of the time I'm that friend who's like "I have a good life and I don't know what you mean but obviously it's important to you so I appreciate your words." Sometimes I'll try to feel the way they do and while I am very good at empathy, I know I never truly feel it and can't ever truly relate. I always feel like I can't connect to that friend in the way they need because I don't understand it in my gut-understander.
this sounds like the prelude to an album??
Ever since you posted this song i wake up in the middle of the night because i'm torn between Brodie and Dudie.
“Yes I do regret not buying it.. I could do with some more pockets.. BUT”
Miss please explain how the clarinet parts physically tickle me through the screen. Thank you.
I wish this song was at Spotify!!!!
I love Brodie chad
looks like alfie deyes
i thought it said i think i’m to hard and i-
can i write a musical with your songs in it? c: it will not be acted out bc am not that known lol
I have to be that person but please do asmr lol
this song goes hard in my emotion cortex
This music video is so meta, i love it. ALso ! I saw you on tour in Phoenix, AZ, it was awesome and I hope you come back!
this is so dang catchy I only watched it once and I had the melody memorized and stuck in my head at random times
I love this song so much. I used to be that person (Brodie) now I’m depressed and I overthink literally everything, but I do know what it felt like to not understand what it’s like to be so emotional and it was pretty good.
this song is just perfect and i dont get it why isnt on streaming
An alternate version of David Dobrik
This song makes me want to cry about the fact that I never cry but I can't cry cause I... can't??? I'M FEELING EVERYTHING AND NOTHING THIS IS REALLY SCREWING ME UP
She really did put them in her mouth instead
Why do you look like Anthony Padilla?! 😂😂 Love the song dodie girl don’t worry but that beard is hilarious 😆
yooooo, fellow clarinet player!
dodie, i absolutely love ur music but what’s happening?? i realise people change but it just keeps getting quieter and worse 🥺
i love the idea but the execution-
Who else is here procrastinating?
What the
Dodie please read this:
I was listening to your song “Ready Now” and I thought it would be really cool and fun if you did a mashup of “Ready Now” and mxmtoon’s song “untitled”. You would have to change the tempos but it would sound really pretty!
Waaa the clarineeeet !!
Well i am in love♡♡
Am I the only one wondering if Dodie actually ate the paper? Or did she spit it out afterwards? I love this song and I really took something from it. I always overthink everything even tiny trivial things, I could do with not thinking too hard.
Dodie: likes the word intertwined
And I thought Billie Eilish was a whisperer
When I first listened/watched this I didn't see the end part so I thought it was an ode to the moments of sadness where everything is kind of nothingy and it's like nothings going on in your head so you have to ask others to provide you what to say/do the talking and thinking for you, but now I've seen the end explanation bit it fits a lot better with that 😅 it's a lovely little song, I love it a lot !!
brodie is low key hot lmao (love the song dodie)
*Music starts* I LOVE THIS
Omggggg you guys were AMAZING on tour and I miss you so much! Sorry I didn't notice when you looked into my camera ahhhh
Is anyone else getting a Parisian feel from this song?
DODIE I'M JUST OBSESSED WITH YOU! 'Cause you're real
pretty fit lad tho
Anyone else like the way she said "so I'll do my best"? She sounds on the brink of crying/very awkward. I think it fits the tone of the song well.
I relate to this character even though its exaggerated
Who thought of Anthony Padilla here?
Is dodie lip syncing different words than what she is singing? I think the second verse was supposed to be from a different perspective. Love the song anyway.
You really look like one of my friends that's so weird.
she’s literally eating her words
You are so cute. Better when you are you as a wonderful woman.
In the video, in the second verse, dodie is singing the song in the second person. She sings you instead of I. But on the music track, she sings it in the first person all the way through. I wish she had recorded the second verse the other way. I think it gives the song much more depth. Either way though, it is another wonderful song from dodie and I love it so much.
Perfect teeth much?
Male Dodie looks like Anthony Padilla
Guess what guys i have a clarinet and i played the clarinet parts
I am never going to get over missing your DC show! I got tickets but ended up getting into law school and the starting week in NY was the same day as the concert :(((((
Elohel this song sounds like what a sociopath does when they try to pick up human emotions
I mean so much for "We won't eat out words, they don't taste so good" eh?
Has your tea gone cold and your wondering why you got out of bed at all ? Does the morning rain clog up your window and you can’t see at all ? Even if you could would it all be grey but the picture on your wall .... does it remind you that’s it’s not so bad not so bad ?
I loved it!!
i thought were anthony padilla
👍😍🎶💕Brilliant song!!
As a boy, I kinda prefer you as a girl. But, that's just me.....
Very nice, well written song and funny and well produced. And the boy, yes! It's still dodie but captured some boy attributes really well, I'd say. If YouTube should ask me again, I'll say I felt very entertained indeed. :-D
"Did you like my boy?
Did I look like a boy?"
I love her so much
can we have chords? this is so lovely :)
Oh my GODS I didn’t notice that female dodie mouthing “you” when it says “I” and vice versa, this is so wonderful???
You looks so cute❤️❤️❤️❤️
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand i'm gay now
but if this is not on spotify then put it on there,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Is this song on iTunes? I've looked and can't find it.
Brilliant
"Listen, I don't have a moral here. I just wrote a song" is probably one of my favourite dodie quotes now😂
everything dodie says is my favorite quote
dodie is really good at singing
I liked that moment because she seemed she was going to over think a really long explanation but then she decided to go with the perspective of not over thinking.
For some reason this reminds me of when I met you at vidcon and cried for like hours after
Same though lol
