spring solstice

by ratwyfe

supported by

Rachel Tikvah (She/Her) I love this so so much. I get really bad seasonal depression too, and spring is absolutely my favorite season since everything comes back to life! You did a great job of capturing that feeling of hope and renewal, I've been singing along to this in the car constantly. Thank you for creating something that's been a source of light in my life. Favorite track: spring solstice.

lyrics

winter turns to spring like clockwork
and i want to believe
that the sun will shed some warmth on all our insecurities
we felt it when the color leapt out from the autumn leaves
and i pray that we were never dead
you, me, and the trees

hold me while it's still cold outside
it won't be so easy soon
you know all of my most comforting lies
here's to forgetting them in june

i can't wait for when crying in the shower becomes singing in the rain
i can't wait for when the sunburn blocks out all the other pain
buried daffodils avoid the cold and come out carefully
and i think that winter's finally leaving you and me

the hypothermic sun crawls away again to sleep
oh, who are we besides all of the promises we keep?
colder nights are always fights
and i'm chilled to the bone
but frigid days are over soon
in may i'm coming home

so hold me while it's still cold outside
it won't be so easy soon
you know all of my most comforting lies
here's to forgetting them in june

i can't wait for when crying in the shower becomes singing in the rain
i can't wait for when the sunburn blocks out all the other pain
buried daffodils avoid the cold and come out carefully
and i think that winter's finally leaving you and me
