A brief history of Dodies relationship with the song "Build me up Buttercup". Back on March 12, 2012 Dodie posted her *first video playing ukulele to the song "Build me up Buttercup".* If you jump forward to August 20th of 2013 you will find another cover of "Build me up "Buttercup" by Dodie. But (if you watch the video) you will notice that Dodie says that she hopes she has improved from the last time and continues to play the song at its normal up-beat and happy tempo. Now today on August 18th, 2017 you will once again find a lovely cover of "Build me up Buttercup" by Dodie but at a surprising (but still amazing) slower tempo. I find this interesting because both of the other times she sounded more cheerful (not that's she's not cheerful now) with a more mainstream feel. But this time we find a more nostalgic and sympathetic type cover of the same song. I don't know if I just think too much into these kinds of things, but I found that interesting. okay bye
sheccabaw nah It's a literal song about a person who has a somewhat heartbreak because the person they long for dont give then as much as attention and doesnt have general hope in them. It's rlly sad actually
I’m always confused when people say tiktok ‘ruins’ songs cause ever since I got tiktok I’ve found a lot of new songs I didn’t even know I would like Edit: for the ppl saying it’s annoying hearing ppl say “the TikTok song?” Then educate them? Instead of just getting mad tell them “well actually it’s from this artist,” they heard the song on TikTok and continue to hear it there what do you expect them to say? Just tell them instead being an asshole about it?
Woah. I NEVER realized how sad the lyrics of this song really are. This guy (or girl) just wants to be with this other person and be happy together. But the other person barely even acknowledges that they're alive, let alone sees them in a romantic light. And despite not getting treated like we should and constantly being disappointed by the person... we keep going back to them... Damn... I relate to this song way more than I thought I did. Usually I would hear it at bars and a bunch of drunk people would be screaming it... but it's so much deeper than all that and I never heard it that way until dodie slowed it down and really put the correct emotions behind it... It honestly makes me look at my life and really start to recognize the relationships/friendships/potential relationship I'm in where I'm realizing that they are more important to me than I am to them...
Lyrics: Why do you build me up buttercup, baby Just to let me down and mess me around? And then worst of all you never call, baby When you say you will but I love you still I need you more than anyone, darlin' You know that I have from the start So build me up buttercup, don't break my heart "I'll be over at ten, " you told me time and again But you're late, I wait around and then I go to the door, I can't take any more It's not you, you let me down again baby, baby, try to find a little time and I'll make you happy I'll be home I'll be beside the phone waiting for you Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh Why do you build me up buttercup, baby Just to let me down and mess me around? And then worst of all you never call, baby When you say you will but I love you still I need you more than anyone, darlin' You know that I have from the start So build me up buttercup, don't break my heart You were my toy but I could be the boy you adore If you'd just let me know Although it’s untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more Why do I need you so? baby, baby, try to find a little time and I'll make you happy I'll be home I'll be beside the phone waiting for you Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh Why do you build me up buttercup, baby Just to let me down and mess me around? And then worst of all you never call, baby When you say you will but I love you still I need you more than anyone, darlin' You know that I have from the start So build me up buttercup, don't break my heart Don’t break my heart...
this song is really special and important to me. when i was younger (maybe 2013) we had a family friend who cared so much about us. he had this huge ranch and lived an amazing life. he had this flower that moved and danced when you pressed it's button. every time we went there i never let it go. it was my favourite and finally he said, the net time we came over, i could take it home. i was so happy. but we never went back. he died a couple months later. i never got the flower or to say goodbye. this song makes me cry every time.
I first found out about dodie through my ex girlfriend when we first became friends. I remember singing dodie's songs to her while I worked on my homework. For her birthday I sang and played She on the guitar for her. When I broke up with her due to my anxiety and depression being too much, sick of losing soulmates came out. When I was trying to convince to not kill herself this video showed up. A slower take on the usually upbeat song. Dodie has become a special part of my life, and I'm glad to say my ex is still living, waiting for the time we meet dodie together.
Mckenzie Pittser I had a very similar experience but mine ended on worse terms. I found Dodie through her, we'd sing together while she did homework, all that stuff, but she broke up with me in November. I understand why, in all honesty I wasn't a good person. But I tried to still be there and be her friend but she just got more and more rude every time we talked so I ended up just blocking her on everything. It sucks, but I guess I wasn't meant to keep her in my life, even as a friend.

Tavin Matiszik I MISS CAMP SO MUCH TOO :(((( and especially bc this year i actually made legit friends that i'm staying in touch with and i hate leaving camp it's the actual worst. i cry every time and i'm crying now thinking about how i had to leave all my friends last week.
Jesus Take the Wheel at my camp, we sing camp songs literally all. the. time. but it's fine bc most of the songs are lit tm -except last night campfire songs, those are just depressing af- but yeah we sing this song at mealtimes and other all camp events usually.
When I was younger I used to sing this song with my dad, I no longer speak to my dad for reasons I shall not share but even after everything this song is one of the few happy memories I have so Thankyou!! 🤗x

This song was my ex's favourite cover of a song. It was our song and for our 1 year anniversary I created a version of your cover with audio clips of our adventures together which still makes me cry to this day. For that and so much more I just wanted to say, thank you.
OKAY HI NEW PEOPLE FROM TIK TOK! i’ve been a fan of dodies for a while now and i’m glad she’s getting more and more recognition but i RECOMMEND her music that she writes, not just this cover!! thanks :))

Lyrics:
Why do you build me up buttercup, baby
Just to let me down
and mess me around?
And then worst of all
you never call, baby
When you say you will
but I love you still
I need you
more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up
buttercup, don't break my heart
"I'll be over at ten, " you told me time and again
But you're late, I wait around and then
I go to the door, I can't take any more
It's not you, you let me down again
baby, baby, try to find
a little time and I'll make you happy
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Why do you build me up buttercup, baby
Just to let me down
and mess me around?
And then worst of all
you never call, baby
When you say you will
but I love you still
I need you
more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up
buttercup, don't break my heart
You were my toy but I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know
Although it’s untrue, I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so?
baby, baby, try to find
a little time and I'll make you happy
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooh ooh ooh, ooh ooh ooh
Why do you build me up buttercup, baby
Just to let me down
and mess me around?
And then worst of all
you never call, baby
When you say you will
but I love you still
I need you
more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up
buttercup, don't break my heart
Don’t break my heart...

I first found out about dodie through my ex girlfriend when we first became friends. I remember singing dodie's songs to her while I worked on my homework.

When I was trying to convince to not kill herself this video showed up. A slower take on the usually upbeat song. Dodie has become a special part of my life, and I'm glad to say my ex is still living, waiting for the time we meet dodie together.

The “just to let me down” at 1:33 really hit the feels 🤧
I know-
You ever have that moment where you're scrolling through the comments listening to a song and the comment references the part that you just heard? That's weird man...
@@soma_664 All the time!!!! It's crazyyy
The thunder from the outside was so perfect omg.
dodie covered this five years ago and i just watched that version after this one it's making me so emotional omg :')
ikr and the gay joke like look how much everything about her has changed (for the positive ofc))
hat cheese ahh true it’s so nice to see how she’s changed
SAME
makes me sad and nostalgic for some reason :\\
Dodie makes me long for memories that I’ve never had.
maybe because it was made around the 60’s
maisie maybe cus the song is really sad
i qas in tears over this song
but your profile made me laugh so hard i died
99.9% of people: talking about tik tok
00.1% of people: talking about her amazing voice
Not really 99.9 percent of comments are making fun of tik tok users
@@joshiyoshi4766 thats true also
BFF Forever .0001% watched this when it came out two years ago
Bruh these replies are all about different pov
We don’t have to talk about it, its obvious!

You know how sometimes a song just speaks to your soul and you have to listen to it like a million times....
this is what you hear when you enter heaven
I would have to die and be reincarnated rather a lot then, Dodie is kind of a life sustenance... 😂

i love how she said "i'll make you happy" instead of "i'll make you mine"
i know, it's fucking everything
phanic!atthedisco All the websites and such say the lyrics say "mine" but if you listen closely to the original it sounds like "happy" instead.
Holy crapu there's SO MANY phandom members here!
why did she do that? cos of like the weirdness of someone being "yours" like the ownership??
Lmao Xd
I'm crafting she is so pure
I kept the tears in. All the way through the song.
That little smile you did at 3:27?
That opened the flood gates.
Why do your songs always get tik tok famous but you never get famous from them
That’s messed up
Samanthaan 656 you know this song isnt writed by her?
Rylie Harris that really wasn’t necessary
She didn’t write the song

ten year olds coming from TikTok who have no idea who Dodie is and just know this song as a tiktok sound: *”OMg ThiS sOnG iS sO AeSthEtiC anD bEnji AnD jEyJEy aRe So CuTE toGetHer OmFG”*
i’ve been a fan of dodie for a bit. but benji and jeyjey are cute but i wish people found dodie from a different source but at least they found her
benji and jey jey are adorable and i don’t even have tiktok🤷🏻♂️
i seriously love this comment
Agreed but I feel like tiktok is also a good thing bc it’s bringing people here, even if it annoying kids.
Agreed. But benji and jey jey are fucking adorable
2017: wow so cute
2018:
2019: OMGGG I MUST USE THIS ITS SO FCKING CUTE AHHH
i genuinely want this on itunes sooo bad
Grace k mi
ikr
I’m so proud of her 🥺 look how popular she’s getting. With her talent she deserves it
my a capella group in school is singing this and it was stuck in my head all day and this just made me so happy ☺️
THIS SONG IS SUNG AT CAMP ALL THE TIME AND EVERYONE LOVES IT AND THIS COVER IS AMAZING
LIKE YEAH ITS SAD BUT ITS STILL GOT ME SHOOK
SAME BUT EXCEPT i might have cried bc i miss camp lol
SAME WITH MINE! In our eating hall (Nash Lodge), we would sometimes sing after meals and we always sang this
Tavin Matiszik I MISS CAMP SO MUCH TOO :((((
and especially bc this year i actually made legit friends that i'm staying in touch with and i hate leaving camp it's the actual worst. i cry every time and i'm crying now thinking about how i had to leave all my friends last week.
Jesus Take the Wheel at my camp, we sing camp songs literally all. the. time. but it's fine bc most of the songs are lit tm -except last night campfire songs, those are just depressing af- but yeah we sing this song at mealtimes and other all camp events usually.
My camp too! We also played it in marching band last year which was cool. This is by far my favorite song of all time!
It’s 2021 and I’m still very much obsessed with this cover 😭✋🏽
Right
dodie: w-
me: OH MY GOSH BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE
😂
I didn't sneeze, but thank you for blessing me
3:40 "Would you like to k ow what these flowers are balanced on?" ' Laughs '
I don't know why I thought that was the cutest thing XD
Why cant this be on Spotify T^T
I don't know why~~~
This is Buttery smooth, oh my, and that expression - Unique perfection!
Are those lyrics or did you just accidentally rhyme? 😂😊
I just went through one of the worst nights of my life, and this is the most pleasant thing i have found tonight, thanks again dodie :)
Aidan McOstrich I hope everything's okay now dude 💜
Aidan McOstrich I hope you're okay 💖
Aidan McOstrich Sending love your way! 💌 **woosh** 💌
*virtual hugs* you'll be okay xxx
Hope you're ok, sending hugs and virtual tea xxxxx
this is the most precious thing protect dodie at all costs
I literally love how she sounds like she has the cold. It makes everything so much better I love love love love itttt
Dodie: Would you like to know what the sunflowers are balanced on?

can you please put this beautiful cover on spotify? please dodie 🙏🏼
this song makes me feel better and maybe i'm not alone with this feeling.
You can find it on SoundCloud!
All I can think about is when Tyler Joseph sang this in the behind the scenes for House of Gold and now I'm crying this is beautiful
Hermione Granger SAAAAAME (also potterhead high five!)
Hermione Granger |-/
Hermione Granger same
Hermione Granger IM NOT ALONE |-/
Wow, Hermione Granger a fan of tøp? wasn't expecting that
no one cares if you came from tik tok, just appreciate this beautiful cover, i hope people knew dodie already, and if you’re new, then welcome c:
I came from Tik Tok! :)
For my entire life until a few years ago I thought this song was about someone wanting their girlfriend to make them Reese's.
Juce hahahahahaha 😂 this made my day
I love you.
i'm single
Haha
That's just the best XD
When I was younger I used to sing this song with my dad, I no longer speak to my dad for reasons I shall not share but even after everything this song is one of the few happy memories I have so Thankyou!! 🤗x
I hope you’re doing ok with whatever you’re going through ❤️

I think I have tears on mine
it's glitter hehe
It's glitter 😊😁
Joline Taylor what kind of tears are you having where u think that tears are sparkly-
I can’t tell if she was crying
I keep coming back to this cover even 2 years after finding it. I can’t thank you enough for this and for you. just you.
Flashback to 2012 when Dodie played this for the first time and used 'gay' as an insult god how things have changed
tommyzoom88 (me, a gay person) hah
Thank god.
ikr
tommyzoom88 wait wht
I don't think it was meant to be an insult
Me enjoying music not ready to cry:
Dodie:why
My room:The Nile and Mississippi River combined
Song:ur not supposed to cry lol
AAH I'VE BEEN HOPING YOU WOULD COVER THIS SONG SO BAD
Rubyx4 she also did a cover of this song five years ago
Rubyx4 it's still on her channel
she has done two before this one - one 5 years ago and one 3 years ago! they're still on this channel if you would like to check them out!
She's covered this twice already lol
maya montague three times actually!!!
Her voice is so pretty. The song really hits and it's style with the uke makes it hit even harder
Build me a peanut butter cup
Anna Woods fill me up
This is actually the smollest and purest thing on the internet. This song was my jam when I was little! I can imagine you and Alice listening to this together! Did you? Lots of love! ❤
her voice literally sounds like an angel and it’s so beautiful. she sings every single lyric beautifully and she plays so softly and it’s amazing
I almost feel like crying myself because I can feel pain comeing from her Facial expressions, Shes simply gorgeous!

every single time dodie covers this song, her voice improves so much~ it shows how much she's grown
MOST BEAUTIFUL AND DELICATE COVER SO FAR, INSANELY PROUD AND OBSESSED
This song was my ex's favourite cover of a song. It was our song and for our 1 year anniversary I created a version of your cover with audio clips of our adventures together which still makes me cry to this day. For that and so much more I just wanted to say, thank you.
new thing to listen to when i'm sad
cactus fren |-/
How. Dodie is the only person who can make any song so melancholy and beautiful
My favorite thing is to awkwardly harmonize with Dodie every time I listen to her ahhhh I love herr
is it just me who Comes back to this like each year remembering it?
DODIE IM LOVING THE NON-CURLED HAIR 😍
