@Donkey Kong They're good friends, looking lovingly at someone doesn't mean you have a crush on someone, it could mean you just love them, or are a damn good actor
@@et-y6059 There was a whole thing between Dodie and Jon Cozart a few years back where she really liked him, but he wouldn't give her the time of day. If you look at their duets together you can see that tension, especially in Human. A song that many connect to their relationship. Any way, Dodie was hurt in the process and their relationship (friendship or otherwise) is no longer there at least in the public sense. That's all I know.
The way Thomas looks at Dodie is so pure and full of love Not even romantic love, but a "This girl is my friend and she is amazing and I will love her and protect her with my life" love He looks so in love (platonically) with her and I love it Get yourself someone that looks at you the way Thomas looks at Dodie, whether that person be your best friend or the love of your life
Thomas always looks like he's deeply in love with the partner he's singing with. It's so sweet. I love them both so much and this is so beautiful and relatable. It's like Dodie is depression and Thomas is happiness. Yeah I do know he is gay but what I meant was the deep love he has for his friends. Like how much he admires Dodie in this is so sweet.
singing with some people is really intimate for some. for me, i have done duets with friends and started crying just looking at them because whike im so scared, they know that the fact that im doing it with them is honestly really hard and it shows that im getting better.
sitting here, age 11, watching this and falling in love with the song because I thought it was sweet, was nice. sitting here, age 16, watching this and sobbing because of my current battle with depression, was painfully beautiful. thank you thomas and dodie, for always being there, despite never even knowing my name.
i'm 16 and i would watch this a lot when it came out 6 years ago. i just remembered that it existed today, and i suddenly remembered all the words as the video played, even though i haven't heard it in 6 years. i had depression back then and i still do to this day.
I think this is Dodie’s most underrated song. Maybe I’m weird, but I can relate to the general feeling so much it’s crazy. It’s the same internal dialogue whenever I’m having a lot of fun and I start doubting myself. I’ve never struggled with depression, but I can understand this feeling. Not to mention the beautiful singing and harmonies and I’m so gosh darn happy this song exists
I don't struggle with depression, but I'm used to being depressed. I'm don't struggle with suicidal thoughts, but I'm used to having them. I don't struggle with anxiety, but I'm used to feeling anxious. As I was writing about how stupid it sounded to me I realized that it wasn't that stupid sounding. It just sounds like a weird concept to a person who struggles with being depressed almost everyday.
This is the song version of sitting in front of a fireplace wrapped up in a blanket looking into the flames. It's hugging someone after you've moved away and haven't seen them in months. It's a cup of hot chocolate and a good book underneath your bedsheets. It's a sunset at the beach while the sand you're sitting on is still warm. It's waking up in the middle of the night to the sound of crickets and looking into the night sky. This song is beautiful.
i missed you dearly thought i was nearly there forever at last together is our time fleeting? is even meeting a healthy idea or am i getting too near? don’t try to fight it you’re here for the night and i’ll be waiting for you until we meet again i know it’s scary but don’t be weary if we don’t have that long let’s not waste it feeling wrong this isn’t the end i’m your life long friend sure, it’s been a while but i’ll be here when you smile so don’t try to fight it you’re here for the night and i’ll be waiting for you until we meet again mmmmmm would you mind staying? it getting late but i will visit you soon so just try to get through and don’t try to fight it you’re here for the night and i’ll be waiting for you until we meet again i’ll be waiting for you until we meet again
Imagine if someone and their partner recorded this duet together... Then at the one partner's funeral (whichever one died first) they can play the video BUT pause it RIGHT at the last part, and the one partner who is left alive can sing the last "I'll be waiting for you until we meet again" by themself. Perfect. ...Sorry, I have a dark, sadistic sense of humor and I'm going to a funeral in 2 days. Apologies if it triggered anyone.
You know I have I friend who also loves this song and there dying so I think I might actually ask to do this edit: i was fucking lying y’all noo idea why i said that 😩
UGH GOD THEIR VOICES. THE DISNEY VIBESS I FEEL LIKE HE'D BE A POOR CHILD AND DODIE WOULD BE A REALLY PRETTY PRINCESS BUT THEY WERE FORCED TO STOP TALKING TO EACH OTHER BUT THOMAS CAME ALMOST EVERY NIGHT TO TALK TO HER UGH
This song and 'Birds' on Thomas' Channel are like my little corner of safety and comfort on the Internet. When I'm feeling down, these songs flit back into my memory.
I JUST NOW UNDERSTAND WHAT THE SONG IS ABOUT OAFIASFUAFH thomas is happiness and dodie is talking about how she's like scared that the happiness is gonna leave, but she doesn't want it to leave, and happiness (thomas) is like "gurl its okay i'll be back." ugh i can't believe i didn't see this earlier.
I’ve been coming back to this video periodically for the past 3 years Bc 1. It’s literal ethereal 2. The way Thomas looks at his friends just shows that he is literally in love with ever single one of them and it makes my heart so happy
i had a friend during my senior year of high school that i considered my #1 best friend. from the moment this video was posted, this was “our song” and we would sing it together all the time, any chance we got. we had conversations of what our future would be like and goals, aspirations, everything. i had such a strong love for him since i considered him a brother, and once Covid hit it became clear that the feelings weren’t mutual. he began talking shit about me behind my back, decided that he didn’t need to use me anymore. i lost my best friend during one of the hardest times, being the most depressed i had ever been. today is the first time i’ve listened to this song in over three years and it’s just as beautiful as the first time i heard it, i even remembered all the words. i was 15 when the song came out, 18 when i lost my best friend, and i turn 22 in 8 days. i guess this is a long winded way of saying that even if i don’t have someone to sing it with right now, i can at least think about how much i’ve grown as a person in the last six years. be proud of what i’ve done, and proud of who i’ve become. this song means so much more to me than i could explain. thank you for everything
Okay, but is no one going to mention that Dodie, quite literally, made Thomas the embodiment of Happiness? Just listen to the song lyrics and their parts. Dodie is scared because she's feeling happy and she knows it will go away. But Thomas reassures her that they'll find each other again and that he'll "be here when you smile". And what do you normally feel when you smile? Happy. Boom.
Ollie Matthews this is kinda my take on the song to its amazing reading the comments and seeing what other people take from it its beautifully written I love it ❤️
Dodie's soft voice contrasts so much in comparison of Thomas' deep(ish), rich voice. Its like chocolate on feathers. Pretty heavenly.. I don't know... I'm weird.
So does Intertwined. Dodies songs are the only things that have got me in the Christmas spirit weirdly. They make me smell imaginary nutmeg and oranges :3
I feel like the song is about how, while struggling with mental illness, you can still have those fleeting periods of happiness when you feel like everything is normal and wonderful. The resulting emphasis on why you should always keep going because no matter how bad things can be, the low moments are always only temporary as well. Or maybe it's about relation#SHIPs amirite
Oh lord... All I can imagine is my father singing this to my mom from... wherever he is now. Heaven probably. He made her so happy, right until the very end. Miss you papa. You guys will meet again.
I adore this girl in ways that are not even healthy. I'm proud of her even tho I've never talked to her. I love looking at her and listening to the ep, listening to her songs and noticing how much she's grown. Dodie you won't see this but I wish you the best and again, I absolutely adore you and I'm proud (just as the rest of us)
You know what I love about this song? Not only is it interpretable in a romantic context (i.e. Dodie and Thomas are the couple) but it's also interpretable in the context of depression (i.e. Dodie is the person who's depressed, Thomas is literally her happiness which only comes along once in a while and doesn't stay for long). Is the entire song written for that specific purpose? Because that is _clever_
"Dear Happy" (feat. Thomas Sanders) I missed you dearly Thought I was nearly There forever, at last together Is our time fleeting? Is even meeting A healthy idea, or am I getting too near? Don't try to fight it You're (I'm) here for tonight And I'll be waiting for you Until we meet again I know it's scary But don't be wary If we don't have that long Let's not waste it feeling wrong This isn't the end I'm your lifelong friend Sure it's been a while But I'll be here when you smile So don't try to fight it You're (I'm) here for tonight And I'll be waiting for you Until we meet again Would you mind staying? It's getting late, but I will visit you soon So just try to get through And don't try to fight it You're (I'm) here for tonight And I'll be waiting for you Until we meet again I'll be waiting for you Until we meet again
dear happy, (2016: freshman year of high school) i wasn’t familiar with u four years ago. i told myself i would no longer lack of you by the end of high school and my heart would no longer break when i hear this song. these four years have been crazy, i lost friends, i doubted myself, i failed classes, i was being shamed for things i did not do. but then i began to feel warmth, it was a sign i was about to meet you. my life was still a living hell, but i met my best friend. the guy who always made me laugh and smile despite the missing hole i had where u were supposed to be. he introduced me to you and god was it nice. you made me feel like nothing could ever hurt me. those few months with u felt like i was on cloud9. (2020: senior year of high school) i felt u when he asked me to prom, when i got my prom dress, when we got our boutonnière and corsage, when my mother paid for my cap and gown, when i finally got my shit together academically and mentally. and then in an instant i got everything i was looking forward to ripped away from me. i got u ripped away from me. here i am four years later, 2:30 in the morning and i’m listening to this song while blankly facing the tv that shows the death rate increasing due to a pandemic. i lost my year but worst of all, i’m seeing the world loose their families. i’m seeing lives being affected forever. so “happy” i’ll be waiting for u, until we meet again...
Tessa Herondale me and my pal were airlplaying it on one of the school's apple tv's and everyone (even if they didn't know them) kept saying "he obviously has a crush on her" and it was vv cute
check out the color symbolism. dodie is wearing a black shirt with a white collar, and thomas is wearing a white shirt on a black background. dodie is dominated by black or sadness, and thomas is dominated by white. and his smile and warmth really lights up the room. while dodie is more feeling and melancholic. it’s easy to see who is happiness and sadness. but- their shirts aren’t just white or black. they’re both dominated by both. because you really can’t have happiness without sadness. or the other way around
im over here binge watching dodie's songs and i come across thomas AND WHEN I TELL YOU I SCREAMED LOUD ENOUGH TO WAKE UP MY NEARLY DEAF GRANDMA I JUST--
Dear Happy, I've missed you dearly. Thought I was nearly there, forever at last, together. Is our time fleeting? Is even meeting a healthy idea or am I getting too near? But I won't try to fight it, you're here for the night. So I'll be waiting for you, until we meet again. Love, Sadness Dear Sadness, I know it's scary, but don't be weary. If we don't have that long let's not waste it feeling wrong. This isn't the end, I'm your life long friend. Sure, it's been a while but I'll be here when you smile. So don't try to fight it, I'm here for the night. And I'll be waiting for you, until we meet again. Love, Happy
not gonna lie, the way Dodie says 'aww Thomas!' at 2:14 has lived in my head rent free since this video went up. an absolute delight of a duet that's well-worth coming back to again and again (wish both sides of this collab were available on Spotify!)
Wow I love the song so much, the lyrics are beautiful, and I love the jazzy vibe to it! Great songwriting again Dodie! And welcome to youtube Thomas ;)
My best friend and I sang this song together all the time when we were younger. He passed away in April, and I am back to this song for comfort. I miss him and his voice. 🤍
Melody Cutie Cupcakes I know does. But the joke is that he posts like 3 a year. I was gonna make the joke more obvious but I was worried that people were gonna be triggered if I said it differently
kay, lemme just say that dodie is a fucking musical genius. and i feel like, the reason everyone looks at her the way they do when they sing together, is her songs just bring out the right emotions/chemistry and i think its really beautiful.

@Donkey Kong They're good friends, looking lovingly at someone doesn't mean you have a crush on someone, it could mean you just love them, or are a damn good actor
If this is how Thomas looks at a girl, I’d like to see how he looks at someone who he’s in love with.
omG yEs- GET👏 THE👏 BEAN👏 A 👏BOYFRIEND 👏
Thomas is gay
@@carmenquinn9209 Yes 0-0 he deserves a boyfriend
Carmen Quinn that is exactly my point
@Camryn Platte that's true, but even if we don't know when it happens, i hope he finds the right one ^w^ he deserves it
Thomas: looks at nothing but Dodie
Jon: avoids looking at Dodie in Human
I hated that and she so clearly liked him but he wanted “something casual” but then came out so you know, it be that way sometimes
I felt so bad for Dodie during that whole situation.

This sounds like a steven universe song, where Thomas is steven and dodie is someone like spinel.

The way Thomas looks at Dodie is so pure and full of love
Not even romantic love, but a "This girl is my friend and she is amazing and I will love her and protect her with my life" love
He looks so in love (platonically) with her and I love it
Get yourself someone that looks at you the way Thomas looks at Dodie, whether that person be your best friend or the love of your life
It’s such a pure look of adoration…having a friend you love so much
@@professordoungutexactly 🥰
Thomas always looks like he's deeply in love with the partner he's singing with. It's so sweet. I love them both so much and this is so beautiful and relatable. It's like Dodie is depression and Thomas is happiness.
Yeah I do know he is gay but what I meant was the deep love he has for his friends. Like how much he admires Dodie in this is so sweet.
soooooooo TRUE!!!
Abi for some people singing is a very intimate thing!! so it’s possible he feels closer to them when he sings with them
It’s so cute tbh
singing with some people is really intimate for some. for me, i have done duets with friends and started crying just looking at them because whike im so scared, they know that the fact that im doing it with them is honestly really hard and it shows that im getting better.
shes like doing so many wierd faces lol
This song is about depression I believe.. and Thomas is the “happiness” that dodie feels!
Dogsdogsdogs Cats I agree
I mean, Thomas Sanders is usually the cure for my depression as well
i think dodie confirmed ur comment lol
awww yah he is
Jackson Cope That was more of a coincidence.
These two NEED to be singing on Disney together. We cannot have this beautiful talent made underrated.
sitting here, age 11, watching this and falling in love with the song because I thought it was sweet, was nice.
sitting here, age 16, watching this and sobbing because of my current battle with depression, was painfully beautiful.
thank you thomas and dodie, for always being there, despite never even knowing my name.
I hope you have an amazing day and life i don't know you but I'm sure you're deserving of great things
i'm 16 and i would watch this a lot when it came out 6 years ago. i just remembered that it existed today, and i suddenly remembered all the words as the video played, even though i haven't heard it in 6 years. i had depression back then and i still do to this day.
i hope you're doing okay!
Why have I never had an original experience? 😭😭
I think this is Dodie’s most underrated song. Maybe I’m weird, but I can relate to the general feeling so much it’s crazy. It’s the same internal dialogue whenever I’m having a lot of fun and I start doubting myself. I’ve never struggled with depression, but I can understand this feeling. Not to mention the beautiful singing and harmonies and I’m so gosh darn happy this song exists
This is the first song I’ve heard by her, I can’t believe it’s underrated!! it’s one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever heard
7 million are underrrated lol
mickeywabbit but no one talks about it
So literally stop hating on dodie
I don't struggle with depression, but I'm used to being depressed.
I'm don't struggle with suicidal thoughts, but I'm used to having them.
I don't struggle with anxiety, but I'm used to feeling anxious.
As I was writing about how stupid it sounded to me I realized that it wasn't that stupid sounding. It just sounds like a weird concept to a person who struggles with being depressed almost everyday.
This is the song version of sitting in front of a fireplace wrapped up in a blanket looking into the flames. It's hugging someone after you've moved away and haven't seen them in months. It's a cup of hot chocolate and a good book underneath your bedsheets. It's a sunset at the beach while the sand you're sitting on is still warm. It's waking up in the middle of the night to the sound of crickets and looking into the night sky.
This song is beautiful.

When you notice their clothes are inverse of each other (also that Dodie is mostly dark and Thomas is mostly light)
This song and 'Birds' on Thomas' Channel are like my little corner of safety and comfort on the Internet. When I'm feeling down, these songs flit back into my memory.
Sometimes I hear a song where the voices seem like they were meant to sing together, this is one of those songs.
you summed up my thoughts on this song perfectly. I hope they do more songs together in the future
ikr the harmonies were so beautiful I'm mesmerized
I JUST NOW UNDERSTAND WHAT THE SONG IS ABOUT OAFIASFUAFH
thomas is happiness and dodie is talking about how she's like scared that the happiness is gonna leave, but she doesn't want it to leave, and happiness (thomas) is like "gurl its okay i'll be back." ugh i can't believe i didn't see this earlier.
I genuinely did not realize this until I read your comment. Created a completely new listening experience for me, so thank you!

Music Tho he always does that thing and it's beautiful
He’s like : u ok ??
He kept giving her looks and it was adorable! He's like "you good Broski?" Cuz my girlfriend gives me the same look when I look sad
Literally as I read this, I looked up and he was looking at her like she was insane, haha. But he gave her the friend eyes a few seconds later xD
@NightcoreFreaks 0:20
Ok but Thomas’s and dodie’s voices are so pretty like they sound so amazing together
his smile at the end has me dead

Returning to this every year or so bc it is so comforting and has brought me so much peace. I am very thankful to hear this beautiful duet 🥰

I was thinking the exact same thing. I now need a Christmas song from those two. Preferably an original one of course. They write great stuff.
Maddy Macdonald it does sound like smelled nutmeg! If that makes sense...
I feel like the song is about how, while struggling with mental illness, you can still have those fleeting periods of happiness when you feel like everything is normal and wonderful. The resulting emphasis on why you should always keep going because no matter how bad things can be, the low moments are always only temporary as well. Or maybe it's about relation#SHIPs amirite
Oh lord...
All I can imagine is my father singing this to my mom from... wherever he is now. Heaven probably. He made her so happy, right until the very end. Miss you papa. You guys will meet again.
The way Thomas looks so lovingly at Dodie, you know they're real true friends
I adore this girl in ways that are not even healthy. I'm proud of her even tho I've never talked to her. I love looking at her and listening to the ep, listening to her songs and noticing how much she's grown.
Dodie you won't see this but I wish you the best and again, I absolutely adore you and I'm proud (just as the rest of us)
TheDnyCarrera
I feel like this speaks for so many of us
doddleoddle Thank You :) Keep on doing what you do cuz we all love it
That was the sweetest comment I've read today💕 but also, ISAK IN YOU PICTURE!!
TheDnyCarrera I adore Dan and Phil to the point it's an unhealthy obsession.
You know what I love about this song? Not only is it interpretable in a romantic context (i.e. Dodie and Thomas are the couple) but it's also interpretable in the context of depression (i.e. Dodie is the person who's depressed, Thomas is literally her happiness which only comes along once in a while and doesn't stay for long). Is the entire song written for that specific purpose? Because that is _clever_
Nazish Talati YES. I AM SO PLEASED U GOT THAT that was my main aim. Yay!!!
doddleoddle --SENPAI YOU NOTICED ME--
It was? I'm glad I got it right!!! :D
I thought that was obvious… That's part of the reason I love it so much (...my favourite types of songs are ones I can relate to...)
Nazish Talati- that's why the title is called "Dear Happy", it's about happiness coming and going

"Dear Happy"
(feat. Thomas Sanders)
I missed you dearly
Thought I was nearly
There forever, at last together
Is our time fleeting?
Is even meeting
A healthy idea, or am I getting too near?
Don't try to fight it
You're (I'm) here for tonight
And I'll be waiting for you
Until we meet again
I know it's scary
But don't be wary
If we don't have that long
Let's not waste it feeling wrong
This isn't the end
I'm your lifelong friend
Sure it's been a while
But I'll be here when you smile
So don't try to fight it
You're (I'm) here for tonight
And I'll be waiting for you
Until we meet again
Would you mind staying?
It's getting late, but I will visit you soon
So just try to get through
And don't try to fight it
You're (I'm) here for tonight
And I'll be waiting for you
Until we meet again
I'll be waiting for you
Until we meet again
this is the audio equivalent of curling up in bed with a cup of hot chocolate on a rainy day
I never thought about this.. but yes
Uuuuugh! Too true!
I just felt that like on a spiritual level
Dara Ladia thanks for making me cry tears of joy, I really needed that
Truest thing on the planet
I tell you Dodie's voice goes with everyone's voice. ESPECIALLY Thomas Sanders and Jon Cozart.
SO TRUE

dear happy,
(2016: freshman year of high school)
i wasn’t familiar with u four years ago. i told myself i would no longer lack of you by the end of high school and my heart would no longer break when i hear this song. these four years have been crazy, i lost friends, i doubted myself, i failed classes, i was being shamed for things i did not do. but then i began to feel warmth, it was a sign i was about to meet you. my life was still a living hell, but i met my best friend. the guy who always made me laugh and smile despite the missing hole i had where u were supposed to be. he introduced me to you and god was it nice. you made me feel like nothing could ever hurt me. those few months with u felt like i was on cloud9.
(2020: senior year of high school)
i felt u when he asked me to prom, when i got my prom dress, when we got our boutonnière and corsage, when my mother paid for my cap and gown, when i finally got my shit together academically and mentally. and then in an instant i got everything i was looking forward to ripped away from me. i got u ripped away from me. here i am four years later, 2:30 in the morning and i’m listening to this song while blankly facing the tv that shows the death rate increasing due to a pandemic. i lost my year but worst of all, i’m seeing the world loose their families. i’m seeing lives being affected forever. so “happy” i’ll be waiting for u, until we meet again...
i love this 🥺
What's the 2024 update????
WHY IS THIS NOT ON SPOTIFY? HUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHUHU
I SO AGREE, IT NEEDS TO BE ON SPOTIFYYYY
You two should sing baby it's cold outside together for Christmas!
Nicolette Swann +
Nicolette Swann YES THEY SHOULD!!!

YAS PLEASE
Nicolette Swann YES OMG YES OR HER AND JON TBH
I really love the way Thomas look at Dodie,it's totally adorable.
Tessa Herondale I want someone that looks at me the way Thomas looks at Dodie the way Dodie looks and Jon the way Jon looks at Thomas
Tessa Herondale I love your username
Tessa Herondale I was waiting for someone to say that. It's SO true. Get me someone that looks at me the way he looks at her. Like damn. I want that
Tessa Herondale IKR AWW
Tessa Herondale me and my pal were airlplaying it on one of the school's apple tv's and everyone (even if they didn't know them) kept saying "he obviously has a crush on her" and it was vv cute
check out the color symbolism. dodie is wearing a black shirt with a white collar, and thomas is wearing a white shirt on a black background. dodie is dominated by black or sadness, and thomas is dominated by white. and his smile and warmth really lights up the room. while dodie is more feeling and melancholic. it’s easy to see who is happiness and sadness. but- their shirts aren’t just white or black. they’re both dominated by both. because you really can’t have happiness without sadness. or the other way around
im over here binge watching dodie's songs and i come across thomas AND WHEN I TELL YOU I SCREAMED LOUD ENOUGH TO WAKE UP MY NEARLY DEAF GRANDMA I JUST--
She is the cutest thing when she makes faces as she sings
Yes she is! 😩
Agree ✋, when shee says "i miss you dearly" i died. SHE'S SO FREAKIN' CUTE
I know right!!!! guess i unconsciously make faces too when i sing bc of her!!!! i just love her too much
I think It's so fitting that Thomas is the voice of 'Happy' in this.
Molly Andrews well for a lot of people, that's what he is (me included)
He's just a human ball of sunshine
I agree! I AGREE
still waiting for this on spotify :(
Thomas is so beautiful I can't
this video is so soft and nice I'm going to either cry or fall asleep from this sheer perfection
kindacloudiey me too fren... ;u;
soft and neat
Coralie Loon oh god
Coralie Loon sOfT aNd NeAt
kindacloudiey Me too!!This is now my fav song
Dear Happy,
I've missed you dearly. Thought I was nearly there, forever at last, together. Is our time fleeting? Is even meeting a healthy idea or am I getting too near? But I won't try to fight it, you're here for the night. So I'll be waiting for you, until we meet again.
Love, Sadness
Dear Sadness,
I know it's scary, but don't be weary. If we don't have that long let's not waste it feeling wrong. This isn't the end, I'm your life long friend. Sure, it's been a while but I'll be here when you smile. So don't try to fight it, I'm here for the night. And I'll be waiting for you, until we meet again.
Love, Happy
This is beautiful! I'm crying 😭♥️
*gross sob*
*and i’ll be waiting for you, until we meet again...*
I just understood and this is fucking deep
This is honestly a brillant way of putting this. I’m fortunate to have seen this comment.
i am back and i am crying
4 years later... PUT THIS ON SPOTIFYY
Thomas looks at Dodie like he's so in love. Even though it's only as friends, it warmed my heart.
Kayla Blankenship he looks at her like she's everything ❤ it warms my heart so mcuh
Serena Wilson Exactly! ❤❤
It’s almost definitely platonic. He’s gay, sooo...
Random guy I know, but it's still precious to watch.
pusheencat_gamer 1236 I know that it's platonic, but I still love how he sees her as a best friend.
that was gorgeous the way your voices blended
brendon is my spirit animal your name gives me life. Dil is my spirit animal. DAN and PHIL are my idols
Kiki loves you dan and phil are the best
brendon is my spirit animal did i just find a fellow PHANDOM member (it capitalised PHANDOM, DAN and PHIL on its own)
i love your username omg
ThisSlugIsNotOnFlames . why yes you did
not gonna lie, the way Dodie says 'aww Thomas!' at 2:14 has lived in my head rent free since this video went up. an absolute delight of a duet that's well-worth coming back to again and again (wish both sides of this collab were available on Spotify!)
how thomas platonically looks at dodie makes me go: 😍😍😘❤️🤟🎈👊✨
Wow I love the song so much, the lyrics are beautiful, and I love the jazzy vibe to it! Great songwriting again Dodie! And welcome to youtube Thomas ;)
Thank you so much!!!! This is the most satisfying comment I'm like going "yesssss" haha

May I just comment on how Thomas looks at Dodie
bc oH MY GOD
I was looking for this comment! At the start his eyes were on Dodie and I was like OH MY GOD!
I KNOW IM SCREAMING
Companion Jones JONS GOT COMPETITION NOW
^^ I wasnt gonna reply until I saw that 😂
My best friend and I sang this song together all the time when we were younger. He passed away in April, and I am back to this song for comfort. I miss him and his voice. 🤍
I get this stuck in my head all the time, even 6 years later
MY FAVORITES
UR MY FAVOURITE
+doddleoddle NO U R
+doddleoddle WHAT ABOUT MEEEEEEE
doddleoddle you and Thomas harmonize so perfectly
TheThirdPew YOU'RE ALL MY FAVORITES
Whenever Dodie makes a weird singing face,Thomas is smiling like he is laughing but he doesn't wanna ruin the song
Thomas plays as "Happy". This song reminded me that happiness is just around, so there is no need to feel hopeless.
The way he was looking at dodie 🥺🥺
THOMAS LOOKS SO CUTE WATCHING DODIE SING
THANK YOU YES I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED
northern danpour IKR
IKR ITS SO CUTEE
i was just gonna comment that o.O
Just so, like, patient, but also kinda in awe.
*Paint has left the chat*
big oof
Goodbye Jon
he left the chat years ago
as in he quit RUclips :((((
@@chloe5688 Nah. He still makes videos...
Melody Cutie Cupcakes I know does. But the joke is that he posts like 3 a year. I was gonna make the joke more obvious but I was worried that people were gonna be triggered if I said it differently
It's been years and im still addicted to this song
melancholy comes to comfort in the departure of happy
I’m so pissed at how short this is.
@@honeybearsunset7809 I 👏 LOVE 👏 THIS
kay, lemme just say that dodie is a fucking musical genius. and i feel like, the reason everyone looks at her the way they do when they sing together, is her songs just bring out the right emotions/chemistry and i think its really beautiful.
It’s a crime that this isn’t on Spotify please I love it so much
get a man who looks at you the way thomas looks at dodie
Or person! They don't have to be male or female
You need to make a cover with Jon AND Thomas!!!
Lena Malfoy aha. i quite like your profile picture. ;)
Lena Malfoy then us shippers will be confused
Dodie can be "In The Middle." We'll call it a threesome.
Nick R to soon lol
+Nick R far too soon
PETITION FOR DODIE, THOMAS AND JON TO STAR IN A DISNEY MOVIE.
btsuavis is vote yes for that
Oh by god yesyesyes
btsthetic ID SIGN
signed
SOUNDS GREAT WHEN DO I SIGN
I just came back to watch this after a long time. and wow. this song means just as beautiful as it was when i was younger.
Haven’t heard this song in over 3 or 5 years and I still remember each lyric 😢 good ol days
thomas is literally happiness in the song bc when dodie says 'your here' he says 'im here' and aahhh
Arianna that's why the song is called "Dear Happy".
yeah, the moment i heard it though i couldn't help it -lmao i just made the connection what a loser-
Arianna 'Ill be here when you smile'
I just realized that Dodie is the person, and Thomas is an impersonation of happy
I feel really dumb right now.
Personification* but me too
Lucas Lin same
Wait...WHAT?
And everything suddenly makes sense
i come back to this so often, the way he looks at her. its so special
6years later… I’m still in love with this song🖤
