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

Can’t Stop The SpringThe Flaming Lips

Can’t Stop the Spring

Since their 1983 debut, The Flaming Lips have carved out a singular presence on the American alternative rock scene, earning worldwide acclaim for their genre-defying music and highly entertaining, spectacular live performances.

While they only became widely known after their major-label debut, here I’d like to introduce “Can’t Stop the Spring” from their second album, Oh My Gawd!!!, released in 1987, back when they were still a cult favorite.

You won’t yet find the dreamy, inventive, euphoria-soaked pop sensibility that characterizes their mid-period and later sound, but the unconventional sonic world they create draws listeners into something wonderfully strange.

The rough-hewn yet catchy guitar riffs sound great, and the psychedelic experimental spirit woven throughout makes it a joy to listen to!

We Are Young ft. Janelle MonáeFun

Fun.: We Are Young ft. Janelle Monáe [OFFICIAL VIDEO]

For students, spring tends to be associated strongly with graduation and the start of a new school term.

The hit song “We Are Young ft.

Janelle Monáe” by fun.

is a perfect fit for students.

The track is famous for its double meaning: on one hand, it’s a straightforward breakup song; on the other, it portrays a student regretting having caused an accident involving a woman, such as through drunk driving.

Both readings revolve around reflecting on mistakes, so it’s fair to say the song suits spring—a season often said to bring many breakups.
