[2026] Spring, Thrilling! A Collection of Classic Western Songs to Listen to in Spring

DaydreamThe Lovin’ Spoonful

The Lovin’ Spoonful – Daydream (Audio)

The Lovin’ Spoonful is a rock band that had many hits in the 1960s.

One of their songs, “Daydream,” is the kind of track you want to listen to while lying down, thinking about nothing.

When you hear it, it feels like all your worries and hardships just melt away.

Its nostalgic sound and use of instrumentation—something you don’t hear much in recent music—are also part of the fun.

Spring is a season when the air feels good, perfect for taking it easy.

Even when you’ve got a lot on your plate, it’d be nice if your mind could at least stay relaxed.

Up with the BirdsColdplay

Up with the Birds

A grand, anthemic number filled with a sacred, hymn-like atmosphere—quintessential Coldplay! Released in 2011, it was included as the closing track on the band’s fifth album, Mylo Xyloto, and it truly serves as a fitting finale.

The album itself has the feel of a conceptual rock opera, portraying many setbacks and hardships, yet in Up with the Birds it sings of hope—of being able to “start again.” Spring is a season of new beginnings for many, including students and new graduates.

Perhaps there are many who felt things didn’t go so well last year but are determined to change themselves starting this spring.

This song is a masterpiece that fills the start of those new days with a light of hope.

With a voice that seems to bless the arrival of spring, Nina Simone’s signature song “Feeling Good” fuses jazz and blues into a distinctive sound that evokes the coming of a new season.

Originally written for a 1964 musical and covered by Simone in 1965, her expansive, deeply felt arrangement reflects her artistry and transforms it into a beloved work that goes far beyond a simple cover.
