Spring Can Really Hang You up the MostBette Midler

Spring Can Really Hang You up the Most

Springtime songs aren’t all cheerful and positive; just like the season’s changeable weather, there are many pieces that explore unstable emotions.

The song introduced here, “Spring Can Really Hang You Up The Most,” is a masterpiece that poetically sings about a different side of spring—unsettled and at times melancholic.

Released in 1955, it features lyrics by New Yorker Fran Landesman and music by her artistic partner, Tommy Wolf.

While the rendition by the great jazz singer Ella Fitzgerald is well-known, let’s highlight the version sung by the Hawaiian-born superstar actress and singer Bette Midler.

Included on her 1990 album “Some People’s Lives,” it showcases a refined, string-centered arrangement, over which Midler’s richly expressive vocals are simply wonderful.

Why not enjoy a spring song like this once in a while?
