Lyrics:
Rough time of year
Does it get to you too
When it rains and it rains
And your shoes never dry
I stay inside with my
Veins full of glue
And I stick to a screen
Till my battery dies
I don’t need to be rich
Only so wealthy as to pay for my food
I don’t need to be huge
Only so big as to ever be noticed
Rough time of year
Do you sit through it too
With that envy so strong
That you can’t even move
I must confess
An embarrassing truth
Almost nothing can hurt me
Like thinking of you
You’ve got a beautiful home
Bestselling novel and effortless style
You enchant the people around you
They swoon when you show even the hint of a smile
Rough time of year
Does it darken the doors
To the lofty salons
Of the luminaries
I wouldn’t know
I wouldn’t know
I only know
Weeks of godawful overcast days
Abstinence from sun on the skin
Drifting deeper and deeper into quarantine
Until my own company begins to wear thin Видеоклипы
This song deals with my tendency to compare myself to other people on social media and end up feeling miserable. Writing the song helped me do something with those emotions, and I'm so happy with how it turned out!
"I don't need to be huge, only so big as to ever be noticed" That spoke to me, I love this song so much oh my gosh
Omg thank you so much
BECOME POPULAR. MAKE THOSE PEOPLE WRONG, YOU CAN DO IT BROTHER.
AW thank you, honestly it feels like it's happening
@@sparkbirdmusicLETS MAKE IT HAPPEN YEEEEAHAHHHH!! I love your music and my sister does too
“I embraced the loneliness like an old friend, but now that friend has devoured me, and I shall not emerge from it’s jaws.”
this is my anthem. i am always comparing myself to others and it’s draining. this song is so well put together and i’m so glad i can listen to something to input my emotions to. it’s relatable yet original and the composition is so well made. this is amazing!!
This is so nice to hear! It’s a lot like how I feel about writing it / performing it… it’s an outlet for those emotions. It’s a theme that doesn’t get talked about a lot!
I keep listening to your songs on repeat. This one, November and Disembodied Mind speak to me on so many levels, and I'm glad i stumbled upon one of your tiktoks (even had one of my playlists on here ahah) and found an artist like you :)
Thank you so much for this sweet comment! :) I'm so glad my music found its way to you!
I just realized the captions on this were weeeeeird, they're fixed now!
How is it that you managed to capture my bipolar in such a whimsical and accurate way ???? It’s so tiring to go through this cycle of mania and depression, I feel so good about myself only for my mental health to take a dive and I start loathing myself until it’s hard for me to even get up in the morning. It’s literally like having a shoulder angel and a shoulder demon fighting for who should have influence over my decisions
That is so tough!! I don’t have bipolar but I do have various other mental health issues, and this is a song I wrote at the suggestion of my therapist… It doesn’t necessarily make the hard times easier, but it feels satisfying to have done something creative with those emotions. I’m glad you have your emotional support dove, and hopefully other support as well!
We do that don't we? However, ... You are unique and fresh, and your music is soothing and finding people who really enjoy what you are doing. For me, it is helpful. I appreciate your willingness to write and post. 🐦🐦
Aww! :D I appreciate your willingness to share your thoughts and reactions!
I've been obsessed with this song these past couple days. I like how beautiful it sounds yet how unpleasant the subject matter is. It all fits together so nicely.
I appreciate this so much! AND I did watch Infinity Train and loved it
@@sparkbirdmusic omg you watched infinity train!! Thats awesome :DD i am happy now
Great song, awesome production!! 😃❤️
Thank you!!
WAIT I THOUGHT YOU WERE WAY MORE POPULAR
NOPE haha
@@sparkbirdmusic you deserve to be tho. I'll share some songs with friends :))
It may be weird to say but your songs kind of scratch a part of my brain that shut my thoughts down. Very efficient, beautiful to listen to, and relaxing. And helps creating 💕

I appreciate this so much!
I hate to be the person from TikTok but I'm grateful that I am so I can experience songs like this
It means so much to me that you’re here listening!
I really admire how you put yourself out there. This stuff is relatable and I know it hurts to say it out loud. Very awesome sounding song and arrangement!!
Awwww, thank you, I appreciate this. ❤️
i love this song so much.
Omg thank you!!
This song just feels like a rainy day to me. Idk how to explain it. I love it!!!
That makes sense to me! The piano part kind of has a pitter patter thing going on
This is incredible. Great sound. Very complicated. Is this on Spotify?
It is! Envy by Sparkbird
I'm vibing really hard with this one, the lyrics are very relatable. Great song!
Thank you so much!!
This is beautiful! Quite a lovely, haunting song
Thank you so much for listening to it!
Holy. Shit. I love this song so much, it calls to me. oh my god. I have a lot of issue with envy, especially regarding my societal wealth and how much i actually am and everything, so thank you for wording it into a musical format. i loved november, i love this. wowza!!!!
It's so nice to see Envy getting some love!! And to hear that it resonates with you, since it's something I've often struggled with. It can be such a crushing emotional experience, and it isn't talked about very much, I guess because it's an uncomfortable thing to admit. Thank you so much for listening and sharing your thoughts!
Spark bird is quickly becoming my favorite artist, holy crap you are so talented. I relate to this song a lot in particular rn, Novembers are always hard for me. But yeah, keep it up! I have no doubt you will be a household band :)
This means so much to me!! Just that you’re listening at all is honestly amazing, but a comment like this really blows me away… I feel so incredibly lucky to have you as a listener.
Favorite song #2 love ittt
Thank youuuu!!!
@@sparkbirdmusic no thank you for feeding my ears :>
