Songs About Spring & Springtime

It’s that time of year again with the days gradually getting longer, the mercury on the rise and temperatures pushing into the 80’s, at least here in California, Spring has finally arrived. Along with the seasonal change, Spring Fever is beginning to take hold once again. For the most part, I enjoy most things about the seasonal changeover, except maybe  all the spring cleaning and yard work that’s gotta get done.  The theme of Spring is generally a time of renewal or newness, maybe a fresh start for some, love is in the air for others. Because the season is associated with such positive vibrations it’s easy to find literally thousands of songs inspired by spring. But for this particular compilation, I’ve set my sights on “spring-inspired” songs that contain the world “spring” or “springtime” in the title of the song. The end result here reflects a very diverse selection of music covering a wide time span, but they all have the Spring theme in common, So, as  you go about your daily routine, you can enjoy a personal playlist of sorts that should be ideal while you organize your garage, plan that first yard sale to rid yourself of things taking up much needed space, wash the car, dust the bookshelves, or plant your new garden. Enjoy 🙂
