Austin Nie – Dorothy

Austin Nie

“Dorothy” by Her’s is a song about savoring the moments of a secret summer fling. The lyric, “Don’t say that you think that they know” conjures the feeling of being worry-free and enjoying the rush of falling in love. In the bridge, the repetition of the main lyric emphasizes the importance of focusing on yourself as opposed to how other people perceive your relationship. Each time I listen to “Dorothy,” I’m transported to another universe, where time has stopped and I can truly enjoy an adventure spent with someone that I care about. The meaningful lyrics, enchanting guitars and groovy bass line compliment each other to create an atmosphere that brings out the magical feeling of being in a short-lived, but exciting summer fling. I personalized my cover of this song by recording and producing the vocals and instruments in my home studio.

Dorothy Lyrics

Come on outside, I got a place we can hide
Nobody knows, I just wanna feel alright
Started it again, I don’t wanna have to do pain
I’ll say goodbye till your back again
I’ll say goodbye till your back again

How do I know, this road’s the right way to go
If she says bye, I ain’t gonna feel alright
How did it end, I don’t wanna have to pretend
I’ll stay outside till your back again
I’ll stay outside till your back again

Don’t say that you think that they know
Don’t say that you think that they know
Don’t say that you think that they know
Don’t say that you think that they know
Don’t say that you think that they know
Don’t say that you think that they know
Don’t say that you think that they know
Don’t say that you think that they know
