    jon's lyrics:
    At least I avoided cliche
    Holding nobody's hand along the Champs-Élysées
    Taking my time
    Breaking bread, sipping wine
    Meant for two
    It's a beautiful city for saps
    But turn out the lights, we're too clever for that
    And I know, I know we're not in love
    But we'd fool this old town
    With the view of us, thoughts from the tourist
    Alone
    We could fall for the streets of Paris
    But the Eiffel's a joke and the punchline is me
    And you know, you know it's not funny
    But we'd laugh till it was
    Just the two of us, thoughts from the tourist
    Alone
    And I know, I know that we tried
    To survive on a lie we couldn't endure
    So what's just one more
    Thought from the tourist, imagining the two of us
    Alone?
    my lyrics:
    back, back
    it's time to go back to you know where
    but was it fun
    in the sun where you were
    stop, no
    no you're not allowed to think that
    unwire the good
    don't imagine what could have been
    what a nice little holiday
    it's a memory now
    you fool
    how dare you trust fate! she's not that kind
    you stepped off the edge
    but you didn't check where you'd fall
    and now look at what you've done
    just a memory now
    shut it down
    get it into your brain
    this will all just end in flames
    where's that self control that you preach?
    and now look at what we've done
    just a memory now.
    massive thank you to / danpugsleysound for helping me with advice on the sound! If you want your stuff to sound much better than this then hire him lol

    I always come back to this song. I've memorized both parts and sing whichever part relates to me most at the time. This is the song I sing when I'm sad, when I'm happy, when I want to pretend I live a more interesting life that I do. It is a beautiful song, it is a magical duet, and I can only dream of the day that I find someone I trust enough to sing it with me.

    @esthereckstine2532 Před 5 lety +3137

    I've listened to this song a million times but I finally read the lyrics in a different light today. I used to think it was Jon singing from the perspective of a person who thought "hey this might work let's try this" but was rejected Dodie was saying "bro no please stop that's not what I meant" but now I Jon is lamenting a love that never was, he wishes they were in love but he knows he just can't love her. And Dodie is telling herself to stop falling for him cuz he can never love her.
    This hurts so much in light of my recent relationship ending in much the same way...

      This is exactly the right perspective. She was talking to herself in the song, she is sorry with herself for asking Jon something he couldn't have gave her, and after this, even if they tried to pretend for a while, their friendship was sadly, ineluctably ruined.

    This is probably still my favorite song of dodie's though I know there will never be a studio version and I understand. I just remember watching this unfold, seeing Jon's video and then dodie's, and realizing that they were a pair, playing the two simultaneously in separate tabs to hear them together over and over, and then finally, the complete version was uploaded on my fifteenth birthday during a very rough time in my life. I remember putting my headphones in and laying back and turning it up all the way and playing this on repeat. It's just so raw and intimate and it feels so private, like you're hearing an emotional conversation from the next room over and you shouldn't be listening but you can't stop. Anyways I don't know if anyone will read this but I always come back to this video and bask in the emotion it radiates.

  • @kitbickers3791
    @kitbickers3791 Před 4 lety +76

    something beautiful i realized while listening to both versions of this song is that it seems as if dodie wrote her part based around the chords and not very melodically, while jon was experimenting with riffs and a lot more melody. so in a sense dodie's version is more "grounded" and "realistic" while jon's version is very dreamy. it sits beautifully with "love/non love". non love represents looking at the world through the eyes of someone who's recognizing that the love is fleeting and fading, while love represents the honeymoon phase. sort of. or idk maybe i'm just reading into it a lot. but i think it's beautiful how juxtaposed the two ideals are, even down to melody structure and lyrics.

    Dear dodie and jon,
    sometimes two people find each other, and something clicks, romantic or not, there's something there. both of your voices alone are something to behold, but when they're put together, my word the birds stop singing. both of your music is incredible and you're both so unbelievably talented, and dodie, you've inspired me to do so much with my life. i'm only a little older than hedy, but your music speaks to me on another level that i can relate to in some way. sure, you may stop singing one day, and music will seem like a thing of the past, but live it now, take every moment in, and please just stick to your guns, be yourself.
    honestly i'm not sure why i wrote this but it felt necessary for some reason Xxxx

    A thing that I found very interesting is that like, they call Jon’s song a love song. But I’ve never really thought of it as a love song. Like, it’s kinda like a hopefully song ? But also it’s sad ? IDK IT’S SO COMPLEX! Like, the lyrics are someone imagining that they could be together with someone which is kinda hopefully, but likes like “we’re not in love but we’d fool this old town” makes it kinda sad because maybe the person wants them to be in love but at least they could pretend. I LOVE THESE SONGS!!!

    [Jon]
    At least I avoided cliche
    Holding nobody's hand along the Champs-Élysées
    Taking my time
    Breaking bread, sipping wine
    Made for two
    It's a magical city for saps
    But turn out the lights
    We're too clever for that
    And I know
    I know we're not in love
    But we'd fool this old town
    With the two of us
    Thoughts from the tourist
    Alone
    We could fall for the streets of Paris
    But the Eiffel's a joke
    And the punchline is me
    And you know
    You know it's not funny
    But we'd laugh till it was
    Just the two of us
    Thoughts from the tourist
    Alone
    And I know
    I know that we tried
    To survive on a lie we couldn't endure
    So what's just one more
    Thought from the tourist
    Imagining the two of us
    Alone
    [Dodie]
    Back, back
    It's time to go back to you know where
    But was it fun?
    In the sun where you were?
    Stop, no
    No, you're not allowed
    To think that
    Unwire the good
    Don't imagine what could have been
    Now look at what you've done
    Just a memory
    Now
    You, fool
    How dare you trust fate
    She's not that kind
    You stepped off the edge
    But you didn't check where you'd fall
    And now look at what you've done
    Just a memory
    Now
    Shut it down
    Get it into your brain
    This will all just end in flames
    Where's that self control that you preach?
    And now look at what we've done
    Just a memory
    Now

    It's been 3 years. I still love this song. I've played this on repeat when I was brokenhearted from one-sided love. My boyfriend fell for another girl while I was away from him. We got back though, but after a while it still hurt and I'd come back to this every time I felt it. One day, maybe I'd let him sing this duet with me and let him know how I felt back then when I listened to it.

    @punkiedoodle1709 Před 7 lety +281

    After thinking about it, I've made a storyline from the lyrics.. no it's not a theory unless you want to interpret it like that it's just a STORY
    (the ship has sailed)
    Jon:
    Dodie was supposed to go with him to Paris..he is very upset that she couldn't.
    "It's a beautiful city for saps
    But turn out the lights, we're too clever for that
    And I know, I know we're not in love
    But we'd fool this old town" I think this means that even though they aren't in a canon relationship, he wants the feeling of being in one with her that he would get from the trip. (This also suggests feelings for her.)
    "And I know, I know that we tried
    To survive on a lie we couldn't endure
    So what's just one more" They may have attempted tobe in a relationship (which is also suggested in Dodie's) and he still thinks of her like that even though they decided against it
    "Thought from the tourist, imagining the two of us
    Alone?" that part's pretty self explanatory but puts the rest into perspective
    Dodie:
    "Stop, no" and "You fool" both use slight aggression. probably because she was upset they weren't in a canon relationship anymore and because she didn't get to go with him.
    "don't imagine what could have been
    what a nice little holiday
    it's a memory now" shows that she is trying to keep him from missing the relationship since they decided against it, but it's saddening her.
    "get it into your brain
    this will all just end in flames" this shows her reminding him AGAIN that it wouldn't work..that it would just end in flames..
    "where's that self control that you preach?" he had probably told her they both needed to have self control and that even though they both wanted to be with each other they couldn't. Then of course, he went and made a SONG about her which doesn't show much self control, especially because the reason they weren't canon may have been insane shippers.

(that one is this duet) and NOW i want the ending a song talking about true love (if they end up together) or heartbreak (they didn't end up together), risky teory lol
    wow, how many likes

    • @upanddown31
      @upanddown31 Před 6 lety +34

      to follow along with your theory I think it ends with You (heartbreak) :( I'm not sure 100% but that's just a thought since some people say You is about jon + the music video is set in paris (bertie has some more info about the video on his channel and kinda talked about the character's relationship and what not and it seems like it would fit in)

    • @jackiemeier1650
      @jackiemeier1650 Před 6 lety +24

      I think it's kinda like a lalala-land story -
      So the boy wants to take the girl to paris as a test-how they would act and if they'll finally fall completelly in love,but the girl begins panicing and think about excuses why she can't come with him. He's disappointed but still flies to paris to get some distance and time to make sure what he wants.
      So both of them think about this whole situation and the girl realizes that she doesn't want to risk this great friendship(none love song from nashville). But at the same time the boy realizes that he loves her more than everything and wish she would be with him (a tourist in paris). So after he comes back from his trip, they meet up to talk about what they thought and want to make a Choice ( this song ).He tells her that he loves her- and she tells him that she just wants to be friends.
      He's hurt and does not want a friendship- so she fights for this friendship and do not want to let go of him - so he breaks contact and leaves her sad and alone (sick of losing soulmates).

    I hope this comment doesn't get lost among all the others, but I have a story I would love to tell:
    I was about to be in Paris between last Thursday and Monday, for the first time in my life. Was about to see someone really nice, and see the city with him too. But I couldn't go for some personal reason that came up last minute. And then I found the song Jon sings here with Eiffel Tour on the background. The first time ever I saw any video of him. - The timing was so fragile. It made me cry a ton.
    Then I told my "friend" I wasn't going to come. He told me not to be sad and I said I wasn't.
    Then went on and cried more alone in my room.
    And I had made this reservation at a very nice restaurant and had bought this outfit for the dinner that we'd go together. But then we couldn't and I couldn't even cancel the reservation. And around the time we were supposed to arrive to the restaurant, a French number called me twice, I saw this later as missed calls on my phone. I realized it was about the trip I couldn't make. It made me feel even more sad. But now those dates are passed and I'm still here.

      I'm just hoping this gets noticed cause this would be my first ever trip abroad and I couldn't make it. I don't know when I'm gonna see him either. I'm hoping it's sooner than I think.
      I just wanted to wish Doddie and Jon the best in their paths.
      Especially you Doddie, I watched you a lot this last week when I had to take my mind off of my own sadness.
      And I came back to Jon's video with that breathtaking view.
      Thank you both for your beautiful and peaceful vibe. It was everything.

      This is very touching. I wish you good luck, and don't worry because you will see your someone just like you both thought. And your friend is right, keep staying happy. :3

      I'm so sorry about that. :( How ironic this video is, right? I hope it somehow made you feel better... and I also hope that you can go with him again next time perhaps?

    • @bengisu9213
      @bengisu9213 Před 7 lety +4

      He is always around the world, at different parts of it whenever he gets the chance, originally resides in NY and New York was at the top of my wishlist for around 10 years now, Paris being number 2. I'm hoping I can save enough money until then to maybe be able to go to New York in the summer next year. This was a rare opportunity I could get, him being in Paris, as he's studying there for the semestre but will be back in US in a month as the term ends. I tried staying positive by thinking I might make it to NY next summer so I hope I'll be able to make up for it :)
      Thank you to everyone who read my story, it's so nice of you and your heart felt comments are everything!
      It's just that the timing was so interesting, of me finding Jon's song with Eiffel Tour in the background, and then Doddie with her charming and fairy tale vibes. Much love to all of you :)
