"This song was hard to write because there was so much imagery that I wanted to include from different parts of my life. I wanted there to be a huge contrast from being young and happy, and then completely losing that, and struggling with that loss. There’s parts in the song about struggling with depression and self-harm, which is so different from the way I had been when I was a kid. It’s like seeing this weird reflection of myself and not understanding what went wrong."

Lyrics:
Remembering running through my yard like a wild stream
Just a little kid - blood flowing into my rosy cheeks
Now a river runs red from my knuckles into the sink
And there’s a pale girl staring through the mirror at me
Maybe it’s just a dream
Wish I could go back to sleep
Hydrangeas blooming of the branches of park trees
It’s a half-hearted calm - the way I’ve felt since I was thirteen
‘cause I may not feel it now, covered up the wounds with my long sleeves
but I know it’s waiting there swimming through my bloodstream
and it’s gonna come for me
yeah it’s gonna come for me
what did you have that I didn’t? and why am I so blue?
someone’s talking in my forehead that says I’ll never be like you
happiness is like a firefly on summer evenings
feel it slipping through my fingers but I can’t catch it in my hands
catch it in my
old memories - ribbons running down from my bare knees
I ran too fast, fell down on my face in the concrete
I guess the lesson’s learned, I’ve barely left my room in the past week
And I’ve got my guard up trying all the time to stay clean
But I don’t feel anything
I don’t feel anything
What did you have that I didn’t? and why am I so fucked?
There’s someone talking in my forehead that says I’ll never be enough
and happiness is like a firefly on summer evenings
feel it slipping through my fingers but I can’t catch it in my hands
catch it in my

Shit. This song hits home. I really love that analogy for happiness being something elusive that you try to catch in your hands and hold. That's a feeling that sucks when you are super depressed because it's motivational to seek out this flighty little happiness thing, but it's also an excercise in futility at times. The happiness is being chased for the wrong reasons and it's a distraction from the feelings you don't really want to feel anymore.

[@laffydaffy5133]

Your comment. It's scary well written. I felt like I was reading into my own subconscious.

[@bobbiecruz6351]

Have you considered writing? You should, because your words are gold!

[@ebonie1165]

All of these new songs are * chefs kiss * so good

[@alphadream953]

yeah this feeling exactly

[@fijixxx]

lol

[@travissutton2667]

I been listening to the same 3 for awhile lol time to hear new ones and this ones up to par she is so hot and talented and makes me think of the 90s

[@alankohn5572]

The 90’s were great.

[@alsonio5216]

YEP

[@miiggallo8824]

soccer mommy you give me those tingles that music in the late 90s gave me.

[@alreadyghosts7727]

definitely some Liz Phair vibes happenin here

[@ZeekoWay]

Just listened to this on the radio. I was born in 91 and only later realized how much good music there was during the nineties. I thought music like this will never come back.. Welp here it is.. When I shazamed this, I was sure this must be from the nineties. It's also strange that she was born in the late nineties.

[@josephlabenia6483]

Agreed

[@raisinthestakes]

the lyrics really paint a vivid image of her depression, it’s crazy how honest artists choose to be in their art! thank you soccer mommy

[@thebaseddept.6411]

if i somehow die before the 28th, i'm gonna be pretty pissed that i didn't get to listen to the full album update: i have listened to the album and can now die while not being pissed

[@confused_gaymer1868]

I like that she doesn’t shy away from the fact that even when things are going well depression will probably come back and you gotta be prepared for the ups and downs

[@brendandowling7512]

Totally, whenever I think things r going for me I'll find a way to fuk it up😂

[@_gerb0t]

her music and mitski's feel like a great companion: mitski's represent anger and passion, burning flame - while sophie's the aftermath, mellow and "i'm depressed but it's ok" kinda vibe which i absolutely dig!

[@jsadow32]

This is one of my favorite Soccer Mommy songs, but also: how did this amazing video with its vaporwave design aesthetic not get any attention?

[@vermaledeit1799]

sooo true👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

[@kevc3091]

Wow. I've been a Pink Floyd fan most of my life, and I loved their perfectionism, atmospheres, moods, Vivid images, amazing song writing, phenomenal players, perfect recordings, and they strike chords deep within you. And this is what I love about Soccer Mommy. All these things are true of Soccer Mommy as well. Count me as a fan!

[@evanjohnson3203]

I'm quarantine drunk and a month late and this record is making me cry. Thank you sophie, next time y'all play Norfolk I'll cover your air bnb.

[@bartomiejryba5064]

"It’s a half-hearted calm - the way I’ve felt since I was thirteen"... This song is so insanely relatable to me...

[@Heynowrcp]

Can’t stop playing/thinking about this song. What a perfect way to open the album.

[@oldskoolarcade]

A sweet sad song... makes me want to laugh and cry at the same time.

[@1NTERFERENCE]

You could say it's a... BITTERSWEET SYMPHONY?

[@oldskoolarcade]

@@1NTERFERENCE I could say that... but I have more class! Who am I kidding, I do not have more class.

[@devoutings]

has to be my fav song of the album

[@amalia7643]

ARE YOU KIDDING, THIS SONG ALREADY FEELS GOOD IN 00:01

[@Jasons_Arcade_PLUS]

Addicted. Constant rotation and replay. Thanks a lot Soccer Mommy for helping me annoy my family 24/7. They will be addicted soon I feel.

[@TAGMedia7]

This has a distinctly early Death Cab feel to it, and I LOVE IT!

[@wolfaliceblueweekend4750]

Love this song so much, the whole album is a masterpiece, I am a woman of 29 but when i listen to this album i reconnect with my teen me... thank you so much so nostalgic !!!!

[@kingprincessiwuv3346]

We all live in a sim. Our president is soccer mommy.

[@woggleboggle]

She is our queen

[@Toaster___Bath]

@@gonzUSA be real. we'd take Sophie over anything

[@stephensoto4310]

Heard this song at the Thrift Store I work at, never fell in love with a song I heard over the intercom lol

[@olivierriche1637]

This Color Theory album is very special, the sound reminds me of some vibes I experienced in the 90s with My Bloody Valentines, great work, all the best!

[@radiculous2001]

Mommy helped clean us up with her previous album, now she adding colors. Thank you S. Mommy

[@jessysoutheard8531]

This gives me 90’s vibes/Daria vibes, and I’m all for it! Awesome song and voice!

[@Thanya569]

Steph Gingrich ! I love you !

[@daveoleary91]

Whoa, this is so heavy, I love it. Color Theory is a fucking awesome album, I needed some depressing alt rock in my life!

[@friendofzeus]

Bless whoever made this video.

[@kevc3091]

[@changhe664]

[@maxentiusdecimus9341]

[@lisahatina9602]

Love this. Fills a big gap left after Juliana Hatfield Three's Become What You Are

[@SizzlingVibe]

I always listen to Soccer Mommy when doing my Theology homework idk why but it’s the perfect study music 👌🏼👌🏼

[@bhaskarchatterjee5249]

your songs have that amazing 90s twist soccer mommy, I wasn't even alive in the 90s but your songs feed my curiosity about it :")

[@avhvsmatej]

[@alexisgreen4282]

[@vojtab.8731]

Alexis Green now that you say it....

Yes a bit but more The Sunday’s sound

[@boldarrowoftime8786]

Yes I thought that instantly, same progression

[@sparkdreamers5055]

I heard this song at Target and absolutely loved it! I love every single thing about it.

[@skylonpro]

Love this song......for some reason it reminds me of being an 80s kid, growing up on American TV shows and movies :)

[@raisinthestakes]

Bloodstream Fear lingering, running through my heart like a wild stream Just a little kid, blood flowing into my rosy cheeks Now the river runs red from my knuckles into the sink And there's a pill there staring through the mirror at me Maybe it's just a dream, wish I could go back to sleep Hydrangeas blooming off the branches on park trees It's a half-hearted call, the way I've felt since I was 13 'Cause I may not feel it now, covered up the wounds with my long sleeves But I know it's raining there, swimming through my bloodstream And it's gonna come for me, yeah, it's gonna come for me What did you have that I didn't? And why am I so blue? Someone's talking in my forehead It says I'll never be like you Happiness is like a firefly on summer free evenings Feel it slipping through my fingers But I can't catch it in my hand Catch it in my hand False memories driven starting down from my barren knees I ran too fast, fell down on my face in the concrete I guess the lesson's learned, I barely left my room in the past week I've got my guard up, trying all the time to stay clean I don't feel anything, I won't feel anything What did you have that I didn't? And why am I so fucked? There's someone talking up in my forehead It says I'll never be enough And happiness is like a firefly on summer free evenings Feel it circling through my fingers But I can't catch it in my hands Catch it in my hands

[@alphadream953]

THE WHOLE ALBUM IS GOOOOOOOOOOD

[@jamesgilbert6744]

Thanks NPR! I love this

[@austintrousdale2397]

Just a few weeks ago I thought of Soccer Mommy as an up-and-coming artist, but I’m gonna need to re-evaluate that. Sophie’s already arrived 💡

[@HustonJohn]

Happiness is ... a riff fest about severe depression by Soccer Mommy.

[@bhaskarchatterjee5249]

anybody getting those vibes as if the summer is just about to get over from this song? well i am getting that....

[@a.nightgold870]

:) I love her music

[@paperstreetaudiocompany]

Wonderful stuff

[@bretkellam6429]

this band was a gift to me from my eldest daughter.

[@GamingSandviches]

This song is amazing and the album is great! About to nerd out but for that glitchy guitar solo at the end did you use like a custom Max MSP effect? It kinda sounds like something from the radiohead song "go to sleep". Anyway its fucking awesome! :)

[@jeepz669]

Pure talent 💯
