It Might As Well Be SpringFrank Sinatra

This song is striking for its beautiful, heart-stirring melody.

Showcasing Frank Sinatra’s rich expressive power, it vividly captures the longing for spring’s arrival, letting you savor springlike emotions even outside the season.

Written for the 1945 musical film State Fair, it’s included on albums such as Sinatra and Strings (1962).

Listen when you’re tired, and it’s sure to soothe your soul.

Why not play it on a long spring evening and feel the approach of a new season?

Genesis – The Carpet Crawlers

There weren’t many Genesis songs from the Peter Gabriel lead-vocal era that seemed likely to become so-called hit tunes, but this one is an exception.

It’s a number with a verse section that calls to mind Hoagy Carmichael’s jazz standard “Stardust.”

All Things Must PassGeorge Harrison

George Harrison – All Things Must Pass

A track from George Harrison’s self-titled album.

It was rehearsed during the Beatles era, notably in the Get Back sessions, and recordings of those rehearsals still exist.

However, the current Phil Spector–produced version is far superior.

Had it been released as a Beatles song, it probably wouldn’t have become such a masterpiece.

The Origin Of LoveHedwig&The Angry Inch

Hedwig and The Angry Inch – The Origin Of Love

It’s a song from a movie with a glam rock sound, known from artists like David Bowie.

The lyrics, melody, and structure are all excellent—highly recommended.

The explosive power that builds from the quiet first half into the latter half is a uniquely rock expression, delivering a refreshing, emotional catharsis.

DevotionHurts

Starting from a melody full of pathos, the song gradually builds in intensity, making for a truly excellent composition.

The piece is structured like a single drama, and it’s deeply moving as the drama unfolds from a basic arrangement of piano, strings, and vocals.
