Great topic, Carolb! So many happy songs!

🤠

Still a favorite song from a movie about Spring break. Connie had some great pipes.👍🏻

or, lol:

I let the dogs out back – turned my phone on Merlin Bird ID and got 15 bird hits but no Bluebirds yet (my favorite sign of spring)!

Oh well - (There'll Be Bluebirds Over) The White Cliffs of Dover – by The Blue Jays

Águas De Março (Waters of March)/ Antonio Carlos Jobim & Elis Regina

And in English by Art Garfunkel

I had this album - funny, I don't remember this tune dragging so much, but then I'd never heard the original back then.

The definitive example:

“If ever I would leave you, how could it be in springtime

Knowing how in spring I'm bewitched by you so”

IF EVER I WOULD LEAVE YOU - ROBERT GOULET

Danced with my little kids to this one

Another 'might as well be spring' I listened to this CD over and over in my youth

Rite of Spring

( just 4:55, not the whole thing )

I've always liked Lou Reed's music, including with Velvet Underground. What a troubled and complicated guy he was.

Jumping the gun, rox?

🤷 It’s a nice song, no matter the season. I sprang into summer.😀

I still have two feet of snow everywhere. It is currently minus 10 C. The sun is shining and it’s a beautiful day.

“In honor of the Spring Equinox, how about some songs celebrating all things spring - however you interpret it?”

Okay, to make up for my last post. 🤠

”Just like springtime in Alberta
Warm sunny days endless skies of blue
Then without a warning
Another winter storm comes raging through

And the mercury's fallin'
I'm left all alone
Just like springtime in Alberta
Chills me to the bone”

Here in Chicagoland spring means baseball! So in honor of Opening Day:
