    Lyrics:
    Sparks fly
    Every time I
    Identify a species I have
    Hitherto never
    Seen in the field
    Seen in the feather
    Sparkbird
    Destiny drew us together
    Every smile line on my face
    Can be retraced
    Down to the split second
    Down to the split place
    Is it magical thinking
    Or is it magical realism
    Or is it neither here nor there?
    Every time I check my wrist
    It's another brand new freckle
    Past another brand new hair
    I'm growing up, up, up
    Against my will, will
    Will you finally resurrect
    The time I've killed?
    Will you finally resurrect
    The time I've killed, killed, killed?
    Sparks fly
    Every time I visit this park
    I envision the phantom
    Of a giddy little cartoon me
    Jittering on the electrifying
    Cusp of discovery
    Before and after the storm
    All I wanted was to be seen
    And to see
    Some signs of a world still
    Turning, turning, turning
    Some signs of a world still
    Forming, forming, forming
    Rebirth of a dream still
    Burning, burning, burning
    Is it magical thinking
    Or is it magical realism
    Or is it neither here nor there?
    Every time I check my wrist
    It's another brand new freckle
    Past another brand new hair
    I'm growing up, up, up
    Against my will, will
    Will you finally resurrect
    The time I've killed?
    Will you finally resurrect
    The time I've killed, killed, killed?

    This is the type of song you hear at the end of a fantasy adventure story, when you see all the characters move on and find new ways and paths in their life, but even if they're afar, or if some quest have ended, and others haven't, they're still together, in their hearts...
    Sorry for being cheesy, its just that this is what I pictured in my weird brain while listening

    • @sparkbirdmusic
      @sparkbirdmusic  7 месяцев назад +14

    As a birder myself, this hits extra hard. (For those not in the know- a spark bird is the species that gets you truly excited about birds for the first time and hooks you on birding.) I really identify with this theme of growing up against your will and trying to recapture the magic of childhood through small joys, especially in nature.
