THE TOXHARDS - DOOMBOP

This is one of the first songs I've ever enjoyed greatly to a personal extent. It reminds me a lot of my character's lore, and fits quite well with his themes & the setting of the world he's in.

Favorite Lyrics:
First thing I did,
When I crawled from the wreckage
Was scream, "Please don't call 9-1-1!"
I stand to my feet, scoop up my insides
I'll be just fine on my own.
The next day at work,
My boss complains about my bloody shirt.

SPARKBIRD - MINOR HOLIDAY

This song holds a special place in my heart due to how much it reminds me of the DND campaign we play in, 1999... An apocalypse-like theme, yet it's eerily similar to humanity's current situation. I love the lyrics quite a lot.

Favorite Lyrics:
Not a summer’s day,
Not a winter’s day
Shall I compare thee to
The Judgment Day?

THE TOXHARDS - HOW LUCKY AM I?

Another Toxhards song that reminds me of my character and December 25th, 1999. Love how it sounds upbeat, yet also hopeless and desperate.

Favorite Lyrics:
Coming up from behind me
Is a pair of electric eyes
The doctors, barkeepers, and Eddie
Keep me well-anesthetized.
How lucky am I that I am easily paralyzed?

SPARKBIRD - SONG FOR SANTA

It's a festive song. I enjoy the mix of a jolly theme and the topic of the struggles of minority groups. Personally, I mainly enjoy the song due to the... How would you put it... "Fuck-You" energy of it, it's quite funny to me.

Favorite Lyrics:
Jingle bells,
Jingle bells,
Jingle your own damn bells, damn bells
Jingle your own bells.

SPARKBIRD - LEAD & TIN

This song is quite interesting... I like the themes of love, regret, and war. Resonates with me in a unique way. Overall, it's a nice listen.

Favorite Lyrics:
You know I'd kiss you if I could — Ah,
But my lips are made of wood,
And it wouldn't do to splinter you
In an unfamiliar neighborhood.

SPARKBIRD - OVERWINTERED

The first time I heard the original version of this song, I didn't enjoy it much. It was just 'okay.' But later on... It evoked a lot of feelings in me, mainly reminding me of my love for my partner. Makes me quite emotional, which is... rare for me.

Favorite Lyrics:
Decalcomania
Ironed on our hides by the
Scarlet fever-stricken
Two-bit hypocritical
Neo-Puritans
Turning on a dime.

SPARKBIRD - WHITE APPETITES

Another song about POC struggles, and about how white privilege affects us. It's a very touching and powerful song, in my opinion.

Favorite Lyrics:
How, on the other hand, can
You kill somebody who's right in front of you?
Seem to have no trouble at all doing it,
You seem to have no trouble at all.
