Liner Notes

Every year I learn a little bit more about coping with seasonal depression. One of the things I'm learning is not shaming or blaming myself for the lethargic state depression puts me in. Though depression is a real and serious thing, sometimes it just feels....stupid. #personwithpiano #SAD #depression #mentalhealth

Lyrics

Out my window the sky is black Wonder why they won't text me back Feel so useless, am I any good Nothing seems just as it should Don't need to blame myself, blame this cloud over my head

I'm not stupid, it's you Many thoughts, happy only a few Not my fault that I'm feeling blue To save my mind I'll say it's true Depression is dumb

Feeling sad so I take a nap It lingers on, let me try a snack Call me lazy, but I do what I can Maybe I'll be my own number one fan Don't be unreasonable, my brain is haunted as shit

I'm not stupid, it's you Many thoughts, happy only a few Not my fault that I'm feeling blue To save my mood I'll say it's true Depression is dumb

I may be feeling like crap, but at least I got me a song

Featured in Rent 2? This has a definite broadway or off broadway musical vibe. And it’s a nice performance. And at least you got you a song!

This is great and very relatable. I agree, depression is dumb - thanks for putting that sentiment in song form!

Love the surprise chords in here! Especially appreciated "Don't be unreasonable, my brain is haunted as shit". Well done.
