    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

    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!

    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!!

    • @sparkbirdmusic
      @sparkbirdmusic  7 месяцев назад +3

      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 :)

    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

    • @sparkbirdmusic
      @sparkbirdmusic  7 месяцев назад +5

      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!

      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!
