Ready Now - original song | dodie (for MOOMINVALLEY)

lyrics and things down here!

You saw through me
All this time
I'd forgotten
People are kind

I was hurting
And you knew
So you showed me
What to do

You said "I will listen
Tell it all
when you're finished
we'll talk more"

But I didn't know how
So we took it in turns
And to my surprise
We found my words

Feet firm on the ground
We stood hand in hand
The world seemed to tell me
That I have a plan

Together we sang
I'm ready now

Something new
Something strange
Ten feet taller
I had changed

I believe you
I'm not wrong
Oh it suits me
To feel strong

You said "I will listen,
Tell me it all
you don't like the ending
Then we'll find one that's yours

Oh, how did you know
That's all we need
A promise of hope
Is enough to feel free

Feet firm on the ground
We stood hand in hand
And I told the world
That I have a plan

Together we sang
I'm ready now

Can we get "Oh, it suits me to feel strong" on a t-shirt or a tote or something? I can't get that line out of my head.

Lyrics








Are in the description because dodie is that considerate of those of us that are going to learn them *right now*

[EvesEvilVideos]

dodie really out here representing moomin so well

[pigeonsoccs]

I love the way she uses expression when singing. Is it just me, or does that make it seem lighter and more jovial? Because I can feel the lyrics when there's expression. Also, compared to how she used to dart her eyes around and take shorter and more anxious breaths, it's amazing and it's a physical, visible change. She just looks so much happier.

i love the lyric "you don't like the ending, then we'll find one that's yours" SO much

[megank]

“It suits me to feel strong” is the lyric that hits me the most in this. Before I met my fiancé I was in a dark dark place and on the days I felt like me he would tell me that exact thing; that it suited me being strong. My heart melts hearing this because it reminds me of how much he changed my life. I’m honoured someone was finally able to put into words how it feels meeting someone who makes you feel like this.

You could tell she's mentally and physically in a better place 💙 you're a living angel dodie.

Okay so freshman year of high school, like fresh off the middle school boat, I had a really big crush on this guy. He was about a month younger than me. I was shy and awkward and when we started talking, I kind of turned a blind eye to the way he was treating me. He put me down all the time and he corrected me when I wasn't wrong and made me feel like garbage, but he asked me out and I'd had a crush on him so we went out. He immediately started calling me his girlfriend and he was kind of possessive, which gave me large amounts of anxiety, so I "broke up" with him even though we weren't really together. Coming from a middle school as toxic and horrible as mine was, recieving the same treatment somewhere that was supposed to be better honestly broke me. I blamed myself for a year and a half and told myself that I was too sensitive and it kind of ruined me in terms of dating.

There was this one guy and he was so sweet and amazing and funny, and he treated me like an actual person so I developed feelings for him. He apparently saw me the same way, so last year (junior year) he asked me out. I said yes, but that anxiety just kicked back up again and I called it off, which was one of me biggest mistakes. I did like him a lot, but my experience with dating got the better of me and I decided it wasn't time.

I kept hanging out with the newer guy, and I discovered that I still had feelings for him not too long ago. I've kind of accepted the fact that freshman year I was treated like garbage and it wasn't my fault for being unhappy.

This song came out, and when I listened to it, it spoke to me. I've come so far in these last few years, and I decided that I didn't want my bad experiences to rule me for the rest of my life.

So, at the end of my senior year, I asked that guy out. We have a date this Saturday. 🖤

Oh my god, this is so beautiful. It brings me back to 2015-2016 dodie, where lots of the songs were just a simple melody and harmonizing with herself. I still enjoy her newer music, but this soft and simple style has always been my favorite.

[cinemoni]

Can i just say i just love how your video style/editing hasn't really changed. I love the homey feel of your videos and i kind of miss that from youtube these days ❤️

[leoheywood]

Dodie reminds me of when its a summer evening and the stars are coming out but its still warm and your holding your (imaginary) girlfriends hands and dancing together as the moon rises and fireflies are dancing and you're happy again.

[godloveable]

"A promise of hope
Is enough to feel free"😭😭😭

[fran-tunt]

as a musician i absolutely adore the written notes oh my god ily

[peaarrllldiver]

I keep forgetting how long dodie's hair is now! I love it though

[Maddie-fbkg]

How do you look soooo pretty? Like you keep gettting prettier every year and I need to learn how

[clau]

There are two things i don't understand:
1. Why did youtube not notify me about dodie
2. Why does dodie fill me with such joy and hapiness every time

two things we will never know completely

[annascales]

My Friend: You should listen to other artist besides dodie.

Me: I'M GUESSING THAT I'VE GROWN HORNS

[eduardanascimento]

i just watched this episode, when the song started playing at the end i was like "HOLY SHIT???? I KNOW THIS

you're an angel dodie, this song and that episode gave me chills

[milesxaway]

She looks so genuinely happy and I'm so proud of how much she seems to have gotten into a better position in her own mind and life.
