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

I added captions in case you want to sing along with some guidance! Also, I ran into some delays with the distributor on this, so it isn't on all platforms quite yet. (Though the version with vocals is!)

[@Karetyto]

Absolutely gorgeous music! Hearing the instrumental makes me appreciate the original song so much more!

[@sparkbirdmusic]

Thank you so much!! :D I love getting to hear everything that’s happening underneath the vocals more clearly

[@shawnmorrison9482]

What an awe-inspiring instrumental piece. Such a different feel from the original somehow? This belongs as a soundtrack to an epic story in an unknown world... Well done as always, my friend!

[@sparkbirdmusic]

Ooh, this is so nice to hear! Thank you so much! :D

Bro sounding good, love the music, I can see if I might or might make lyrics but I'm not that creative, but I would like to get some lyrics to get started with

[@sparkbirdmusic]

Oh, you can hear the song with lyrics here!

@@sparkbirdmusic thanks brother

[@idrewagiraffe]

Exciting 🙌🙌

[@sparkbirdmusic]

Yeah!! And I’ll release an instrumental for Sparkbird soon, it’s held up because the distribution service doesn’t like that it has my artist name in the title lol

[@Loonlings]

what is this song about? :>

[@sparkbirdmusic]

For me, it’s basically about comparing myself to other people and getting really depressed… but you’re welcome to interpret it in your own ways! And I guess without the lyrics it’s VERY open to interpretation
