U2 – Beautiful Day (Official Music Video)

U2 is a rock band that represents Ireland.

As a group of musicians, they’ve won the most Grammy Awards, and they’re still dropping hit tunes today—an incredible rock band.

Among the many hit songs U2 has produced, the one I especially recommend for spring is “Beautiful Day.” It doesn’t explicitly use spring as its theme, but its lyrics evoke the feeling of the season’s arrival, paired with a refreshing alternative rock sound that leaves a strong impression.

Here Comes The SunThe Beatles12rank/position

The Beatles – Here Comes The Sun (2019 Mix)

Among Western songs with a spring theme, one of the most famous is “Here Comes The Sun.” This song is a classic by The Beatles, released in 1969.

It was composed by George Harrison, and it’s said he wrote it at the home of his friend Eric Clapton.

Perhaps because it was written at Clapton’s house, the melody is centered around acoustic guitar, and that arrangement helps convey a distinctly spring-like atmosphere.
