Oh dodie, you write such great songs.
PomplamooseMusic you are awesome
Agreed.
And you both do great collabs together!
Yes she does
This song is gonna be on the streaming services. Right? T-T You‘all are so cool
Seriously, Caleb Parker is a master. He mixed all of this PERFECTLY for Dodie's soft voice. Even with the enhanced and a bit harder hitting version of the song you guys turned Monster into, her voice is still the star of the performance. WOW.
Caleb Parker is the absolute best there is. Also major props to Ben Rose for production
I thought exactly the same! Was amazed by the mix, really make different parts to stand out a bit yet not overshadowing others. Amazing!
I liked this version even better than the one on her album. I feel like Dodie has a similar voice to Nattily though, soft and almost fragile at times but still with a lot of power behind it.
eh, he's alright, could have mixed softer for the intro imo
I agree though he’s hit the de-easer on daddies voice ever so slightly too hard, as there’s a slight lisp on some of her syllables :) but yeah totally agree
Seriously though, Pomplamoose and dodie are like tea and cake
Pooklee i now want tea and cake
not as good buiscits and tea
The instrumental in the background is just the cream on top 👌
Best description ever 😎
Oreo and milk
God I love that drumline snare sound. And the bass. And all the voices. And all the things.
it just perfection man...perfection that what it is.
The rhythm rocks!
Chris Sorem and Caleb Parker deserve some kudos here.
what's here not to love?
This is one of those recording when absolute magic was made-somewhere between the seamless melding of rich and sonorous voices and the flawless arrangement of the music with the video that brings this song to a new level of greatness!
You could not have said it better.
Agreed. Something pretty amazing here.
You nailed it!
the appreciation comment for the two girls doing the backing vocals
Marek Tóth this deserved more likes

Those harmonies were tight enough to make a barbershop quartet blush.

4 years later and this is still one of my all-time favorite performances on CZcams.
"A meter apart, we blankly stare.." just hits different during this pandemic
Your mixing guy does phenomenal work!
YEAH he does. Caleb and Ben (our drummer) have produced and mixed the last three songs. They're phenomenal.
I was about to say that. This guy is really damn good.
SynthCreep speaking truth in the comment section!
Mixing is such an underrated skill. I'm glad to see it getting some love!😁
I wonder how expensive these videos are to make: hiring the session musicians, the studio, the producer and mixer...
I think this lineup is the best Pomplamoose has ever sounded. Which is saying a lot.
I think this is the best version of Monster. Which is saying a lot.
k54ltyd2 you’re saying a lot.
And it’s all true 🙌🏻
it IS
It is... almost a month of having this song as a headstart on my playlist for work
Those specific 7 people of the Pomplamoose lineup are by far my favorite. Nataly, Jack, Brian, Nick, Ben, Loren and Sarah. When they get together magic happens.
This is the canonical version of this song for me. I love this so much. I've listened to it dozens of times by now.
This is the xth time I came back and listened,
1. For a magical song, which captures the listener.
2. For this wonderful accent filling the words with emotion and pushing the melody
3. For a great arrangement that is is just perfect so that the song now came to life
4. For great musicians and nice people
5. A great video which is as good as the arrangement
6. Amazing performance
7. Pomplamoose
8. And a really very very nice done mix.
9. And when you put all of these above together you guys there...I wish all the best luck in the world.
10. And thank you to all the patreons supporting you..
My best.
I went and listened to the official video and ...I have to admit I like this better. Her voice is entrancing in both, but highlighted better here. This arrangement leaves her voice to shine more clearly, and the caliber of backup singing here is just a whole notch better.
Plus whoever is doing the mixing for Pomplamoose on this is - as usual - a goddamned **wizard.**
In commemoration of this finally being released on Spotify, I would like to reiterate that this is, the most high-quality mixed song I have ever heard, possibly the most unreal instrumentals in a song I have ever heard, and just an incredible piece of songwriting from blessed dodie.
I DID!!!???
Totally agree, for a live performance this is so over the top good
The song writing is really great - but Dodie's vocal delivery is Fantastic.. It's ethereal
I LOVE THIS VERSION
and dodie looking just so happy and really having fun with all those people playing her song just makes me so happy
I'm skimpy on calling things favourite things, but good musicians having fun is way up there.
As much as I love the original, this version has sooooomething special. Never stop.
Same thoughts here.
The drums are amazing, the vocals are breathtaking, the entire orchestration of the bass and the other stringed instruments.. man.. wow.. I mean.. ... wow..
Where have I been?!
4 years ago and only found this masterpiece a few days ago!
The song, crafted so well.
The vocals, butter.
The arrangement, professional.
The groove, solid but fluid.
The production, so so good.
Is it just me or is it like the band is just playing a little under, a little restrained, so as not to let the monster free?
With that feel, it would be easy to let loose and over play.
Just 100% all round. Can’t stop listening to it. Each time hearing something new.
Thank you so much.
This was one hell of a way to introduce me to an incredible musician (dodie) and their amazing music
wow
just...
wow
Yesss
Agreed.
Just...
Agreed.
🤘🐰🤘
I know right? it’s terrible.
i kr
Vocals...sooooo clear.
Dodie's face right before the fade to black is so charming. Sometimes as a performer you just know it came out perfect.
@@grahamthomason8796 Bruh u had me dyin, for some reason I found it hilarious u corrected him XD
@@grahamthomason8796 the quickest fade to black possible.
I've known girls that have made that face briefly and it's not after singing. It's about the best compliment a person can get.
@@sty0pa this guy fucks
BANGER
The vocal harmonies, the bass, the drums, strings, the entire ensemble. Unbelievable arrangement and talent. Please put out more songs together. We need more!!
the drumming is outrageously good
+1 Couldn't have put it better myself..
It's otherlevelly.
Yes, Otherlevelly is a word.
I just created it.
It's a good word. Not great word. Not Otherlevelly, but good.
Use it in good health.
@@waveoflight It's a great word, it's on another level. You spoke anotherlevelly. Can I claim that one?
@@witterquickly
It's all yours.
Don't want to be negative, I usually loves anything they do, but, for me the only thing redeeming about this track is the drumming.
I swear Nick on bass just keeps getting cooler and cooler...
the mental whiplash of realizing one of my favorite minecraft CZcamsrs listens to the same music as me...
No joke, that bass line rocks.
Honestly, this is still one of the best lines I've ever heard from him. Dear lord.
Nick really grew on my from this tune
🏆
This song never gets old for me. Every time I hear that bass come in on the second verse, my day is instantly better.
Honestly, what even is that lick. It's so good and smooth my brain can barely process it as individual notes.
I listend to this like 1000 times last year...first time I've come back in ages. It still knocks my socks off.
Come listen to it again!
Dodie has one of the best singing accents I've ever heard.
the way she says [bitch] like [bitc] drives me really crazy
Иван Лебедь that’s just how a lot of us british ppl say it 😳
@@evaramsey1736 I just her opinion something bother others
It’s actually one of the worst cases of hipster singing I’ve heard. It needs to stop.
@@SharkeyStormcrow Easy way to make it stop is to not listen to or engage with things you don't like. Ezpz. :)
That lofi rap section just might have given me the best of ideas: a 2000s pop/rock version of monster.
yes yes
I WANT THIS
Just in the middle "la la la la la la la"
This is actually the best
that bridge, the "look you know that I've seen this before" bit was absolutely amazing
This is a great example of how a real collaborative band can make a singer songwriter’s music into something transformative
Holy shit the richness of this. I love it!
Yaass!! Richness is the word I was looking for.. so accurate for this song.
S P O T I F Y ! ! ! This version PLEASE ! ! !
Pablo.Station please
PLEASEEEEE
Please put this in Spotify ✨ Please!
Pablo.Station +1
It is now :)) dodie just posted on her story
Mad props to the drummer on this track. Those dynamics were on point.
Wow dodie! This blows me away.
The drums. The full sound. The intensity. The musical complexity.
Thanks for this masterpiece dodie and everyone!
I love this. Speaking as a seventy something year old, I hate people who say there has been no good music since the sixties, seventies... whenever. Every generation produces great music. Keep it up.
I like how every single person in this video is so great at what they’re doing. I could watch any one of them solo for the entire song
@4:24 I love the last chorus, when the song is over and Dodie slowly Open her eyes, that smile gets me everytime
This has that swelling sound that is frisson to perfection. Sometimes music is just magic and this is: The just suburb drumming, the underlying bass track grooving, those lovely strings that chill the spine, the perfect harmonies, and the light touches on the video of dodie's half smile and the obvious pleasure of everyone. It makes my day better to listen to it.
This song blew me away on Dodie's EP, but this version knocked me on my ass. I didn't think it was possible to improve the original, but here we are. High fives all around!
I prefer this version to the original, as the live strings and non-electronic flavour, along with the slightly crunchier vocal harmonies, make for a much more compelling experience. The drumming is better on this one too ;)
all true Thomas!
Check, indeed.
Would be nice if this version was available for download somewhere...
@@CristiNeagu spotify
@@joshuathompson5082 There is no way I am aware of to buy it and download it from there. But then again I don't really use Spotify so I just haven't found it.
I had to go get my good headphones to listen to this again. Beautifully performed, beautifully recorded, beautifully mixed. Literally a masterpiece at all levels.
I wish I had the words to express how much I love this, performance/composition/arrangement/everyone in it. It is perfection, I just wish more could discover it and get as much as I have from listening (I have revisited many times, only today commenting). I see there are 2m views and almost 2,000 comments, at time of writing my comment will disappear, I am sure, but this is one of the best musical videos on CZcams right now. There I've said it, even if no one sees what I've said. And I feel better now...thank you.
any way we can get the recording on spotify or itunes??? its beautiful
all pomplamoose songs are on Spotify
@@icymoons This one unfortunately is not.
It needs to be!
@@mallyallygramps But Dodie wrote it, so it's her song. I'd think it should be on her Spotify. (This version, if that's agreed on with Pomplamoose.)
Amy Leerae that works for me!
Oh okay Pomplamoose I see you
This is just SO good! On every level. Nick Campbell’s bass just grooves so hard. And could dotie be any more charming? I wish this band right here would put out a whole album!
This song is the most beautiful collection of sounds I've ever heard.
why is this not on trending? WHY IS THIS IS NOT ON TRENDING???
True that!
Because most people like trash music, which is a tragedy.
goshdangit the bridge is so extra chewy and tasty in this version
thats one way to put it 😂
Listening to this for like the 20th time... it’s a frickin’ masterpiece. Every. Single. Aspect. Vocals? Drums? Bass? Keyboards? Strings? Guitar fills? Not one note or beat more or less, all precisely in place and imbued with heart. It’s like you people practiced this piece for years before recording, and then worked on it again just in case.
I love the end of the video when Dodi is looking like “Did that just happen?!”..Yes it did!! I absolutely love this live version!!
Brilliant song. Brilliant performances. Brilliant production. Brilliant mix. AND. Beautifully shot video. Wow.
The drums mix sounds fantastic. I think this live-in-the-studio version is my favorite, and you can see on dodie's face at the end that she was diggin' it as well. Do you guys actually all record at the same time like in the old days?
If this was live, I just don't understand how they managed to make it sound like there's a dozen marching band snares in the mix... Blows my mind!
@@fabrelambeau5858 hes literally doing it with one hand.
@@falfa5496 0:52 really?
@@fabrelambeau5858 There's a lot of post-production applied, but the performances are done together.
Seriously musicians should know what overdubs are in 2019. I mean... people have been overdubbing parts over live performances since like, The Beatles... c'mon
Pomplamoose's usual awesome sound treatment really enhances Dodie's lyrics.
The Original recording is good. This version makes the song come so alive it raises the hairs off my arms. The harmonies, the music, the arrangement and mix down makes a good song into a great song. This should be your music video and not that, what ever that worthless video is with your song playing in the background is. This is a masterpiece!! It fun, exciting and I keep playing it over and over just so I can key in on every part of the arrangement.
I do the same! Jack Conte is truly an amazing arranger! They take what's good and make it better than great, just amazing! You are all so talented!!!
@@JeremyMedinac77 Thank you Buddy. I was a full time musician from 1970 to 1985 road type. AFM 103. You could make a good living back then.
you not understanding the vision that went in for the mv does not make it worthless
@@goosgoos4571 You are absolutely right! I do not understand “The Vision “. I guess I never will. Great tune though!
@@JeremyMedinac77 i believe Nataly made all the arranging.
I love your 3 collabs with dodie!
More please!!
Are the vocals really live? 'Cause this is on spot
YES.
@@Pomplamoose Completely stunned. You are the man, Jack. Been watching you since you did that collab with MysteryGuitarMan and it has been such a pleasure to see the amazing growth of all your musical projects (including your dubstep phase ahah) and patreon. You're someone I look up to and hopefully I will achieve such greatness. Keep it going, man!
YES
@@doddleoddle In my language there is a word "pinta" that refers to somenone's grace in subtle gestures, look and expressions. I have to say you are full of "pinta".
PomplamooseMusic jesus. Fucking tops.
Dodie's sweet smile at the end....like she's surprised that it went beautifully 😊
Pomplamoose is like bacon, everything is better with it BACON... Plus, this Dodie song is LEGENDARY. Amazing.
The drummer absolutely NAILS this song!! Great Arrangement. Dodie looks so happy.
Oh! You were not allowed to make me be late for work ... These guitars, strings, voices and drums on Dodie's song are Amazing Crazy... Overall HIGH QUALITY MUSIC YOU GUYS...
I thought this kind of magic wasn't possible. Poomplamoose & Dodie BRAVO!!
Edit: The Richness of this sound!
dodie's face at the end... like waking from a cloud of bliss. Such a beautiful performance everyone.
This isn't a song, this is liquid gold pouring straight into my brain
The real question is where did Dodie get that sweater?
I want her whole outfit
0:15 That face
1:06 The claps
1:43 Those toms
3:22 The eyeroll
4:22 Slow realisation
You've really nailed the high points. Nice work.
What about the bass fill at 1:15??????
3:33 That condescending look
4:25 I'm in love!
More Dodie with Pomplamoose, PLEASE!
This is the cleanest drum track I've heard on a song. Creative and clean. so GOOD
Agree, sensitive, clever and sophisticated!
Got to be honest but Dodie truly is one of the best songwriters
Besides that, you guys sounded amazing together
Petition for this to be added to Spotify. I am in LOVE
And here you can see a bassist in his most unnatural environment... a band that allows him to have both strong presence and the permission to absolutely kill it. Truly a rarity in the wild.
Ahhhh, Dat bass groove Though - 3:02
Just when I thought that the original couldn't be improved on.
i want nothing more than getting this on spotify :,)
Wow, dodie's voice is so beautiful! And with Natalie's! And with Loren's and Sarah's! And the violins! OMG this is a delight for the ears :)
So this is how it feel to listen the Sirens sing
Combine Monster from Dodie with Pomplamoose was such a great idea, nice work ! :D
I'm living for these collabs and mash ups. It's just so chef's kiss.
this is seriously one of my favorite songs. dodie can write like no one else.
This version gives me shivers.
Again and again I listen. perfectly sublime
Nothing out of place. Wonderful
That series of facial expressions at 4:22 is worth gold.
You read my mind
ok i love dodies original but tbh this one is just like a whole other dimension like this is a bop
A I the only one who wants to hear a Dodie album produced by Pomplamoose?
Phew. Every single thing about this made me re-love music.
I hope this leads pomplamoose fans to discover dodie and dodie fans to discover pomplamoose! Yay!💖
JustMe oh yes it does and its wonderful !!
Ohh, after the second play of this, dodie stay perma on me spotify playlist... hahaha
Yes. First Pomplamoose and now Dodie! A circle of Amazing Talent.
I know this is a couple months old now, but I gotta say, Ben Rose did a fantastic job on drums with this one. Sounds fucking awesome
3:00 drum bas and vocal ... blows holes in my mind
What a long way you guys came! I know you guys since 2015, and your work was already good, but know it's pristine!
Love this version. P L E A S E put it on Spotify! Best wishes from Germany
yes! PLEASE put it on Spotify!!! I didn't think I'd like anything more than the original but this takes the cake
"get out of my room"
the bass slowly nods with "respect my art".
One of the few songs that gives me goose bumps every. single. time.
The harmony with the strings.... simply splendid. Great job you all : )
My favorite version of this song! So many complementary parts going on simultaneously, I've listened to it dozens of times and can't get enough.
Wow this is better then the original version. I love these Dodie and Pomplamoose performances
Over a year later and I still can't stop watching this video.
Harmony is life. I could crawl inside this song and live for days.
Hello Jack and Nataly, I m a 53 yr old rock musician who is freaking out on your music. Iv'e watched about 30 of your videos in two days and just wanted to say how awesome you are. Your vids crack me up the way you guys write and interact with each other. Your musicians are awesome, especially love your bass players. Groove galore! This Dodie vid is great too. Singing angels. Jack I love your arrangements, and funk mashups!, you guys are so creative. Love what you do. Wish I had that kind of talent. Nataly, your voice OMG. My daughter came down and said who's listening to my music. I said I stumbled onto this new group, only to see youv'e been at this 10 yrs. Dont give up!
I check your spotify nearly every day to see if you posted this. I can't wait to have this on loop everywhere I go !!! this HAS to be the soundtrack to my life
The eyes have it...all four of them. You both have incredibly expressive eyes but in such diverse ways. What a treat!
And dodie, that head move and smile when you sing the line "Just a couple of monsters." is so quintessentially you.
I still love this version. Strings & background vocals adds so much.
Pardon my language but holy SHIT.... this was a masterclass in music. You can tell by Jacks face throughout the whole thing that this is pure liquid gold
This is really a masterpiece!
Did... did you just apologize for cursing in a CZcams comment?
The arrangement! The strings! The bass!! ,The lead guitar!!! The drums!!!! The drums again!!!!! The vocals!!!!!! This version deserves to be a hit everywhere. Love it!
So much talent in one room. Thank you all for this insanely good music.
yes they rock
This is the definite version of that great song! The Pomplapocketsstory universe just does this to good songs, it doesn't create covers, it lifts them up.
