Chic Spring Songs in Western Music: From Classics to Hidden Gems—Spring Tunes That Make Your Heart Dance (41–50)
April LadySMILE
The legendary rock band, Smile.
Some of you might be thinking, “Smile? That doesn’t ring a bell…” In fact, the band never became that successful.
So why are they considered legendary? Because they were the predecessor to Queen, the internationally popular British rock band.
April Lady is known as one of Smile’s standout tracks.
While it isn’t widely recognized globally, its spring-themed, emotional sound earned high praise from certain listeners.
Spring RainBebu Silvetti
A remarkably sophisticated piece that’s hard to believe was made in 1976.
I thought it sounded familiar, and sure enough, it turned out to be the song that inspired Denki Groove’s “Shangri-La.” No wonder.
Silvetti was a Spanish composer and pianist active in the 1970s.
The album that includes “Spring Rain” is now categorized under easy listening.
ButterfliesKacey Musgraves
A song brimming with the charm of Kacey Musgraves, a country singer-songwriter who took flight from the American country music scene: “Butterflies.” Released as the second single from her 2018 album Golden Hour, it features the gentle embrace of acoustic guitar and piano, with a subtle electronic beat that enhances her tender yet wistful vocals.
The track paints the boundless joy of being in love and the sense of change that lifts you out of the everyday.
Its lyrics capture the exhilaration of breaking free from constraints and discovering new love.
It’s recommended for moments when you want to feel your heart grow lighter, or when you want to relax in the soft light of spring.
Spring Can Really Hang You Up The MostElla Fitzgerald
Ella Fitzgerald, the Queen of Jazz, delivered a deeply moving standard with “Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most,” a song born in the spring of 1955.
Instead of celebrating spring’s joy, it lays bare the emotions of heartbreak and loneliness.
In 1961, it was included on the classic album “Clap Hands, Here Comes Charlie!,” where Ella’s dynamic vocals captivated countless music lovers.
The piece deftly portrays the two sides of spring: the rising hopes that accompany its arrival and the melancholy that can follow.
Take in the depth of feeling in Ella’s vocals.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking a springtime song that quietly wells up in those solitary, reflective moments.
Spring Can Really Hang You Up The MostNorah Jones
Norah Jones is a hugely popular jazz singer in Japan as well.
Her music isn’t hardcore jazz; it incorporates elements of pop, which may be part of why she’s so beloved.
Among her works, the one I most recommend for a spring-themed piece is “Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most.” It originally began as a poem, but gained popularity after being arranged as a jazz number, and today it’s known as an orthodox slow jazz standard.
Castle on the HillEd Sheeran
A heartwarming song filled with love for one’s hometown and memories of youth.
It vividly depicts Ed Sheeran’s childhood experiences and adventures with friends, resonating deeply with listeners.
The lyrics weave in the beautiful landscapes of Suffolk and a sense of nostalgia symbolized by Framlingham Castle.
Released in January 2017, the track appears on the album ÷ (Divide) and became a global hit.
It was also used in the trailer for the animated film Ferdinand.
It’s a song to play when you want to look back on fond memories or for those who are far from home.
Spring Can Really Hang You up the MostBette Midler
Bette Midler is one of Hawaii’s most internationally renowned artists.
In addition to her work as a singer, she is also active as an actress, with a wide range that spans from serious roles to comedies.
She has won highly prestigious awards both as an actress and as a singer, so many of you may already be familiar with her.
One of her hidden gems, “Spring Can Really Hang You up the Most,” is a piece crafted as a calm, spring-evoking jazz number.
