Spring FeverElvis Presley
Among the many works by Elvis Presley—who has etched his name in history as the King of Rock ’n’ Roll—there’s a standout track that captures the season of spring with a breezy rhythm: “Spring Fever.” Though released in 1965, more than half a century ago, its fresh charm remains undiminished even today.
The song features lyrics that portray the vitality awakened by the arrival of spring and the anticipation of romance.
It’s perfect as background music for a drive or picnic while basking in the warm spring sunshine.
Whether you’ve never heard it before, are a fan of Elvis, or simply want to feel the breath of spring, this is a song I highly recommend.
Be sure to give it a listen.
It Might As Well Be SpringFrank Sinatra
Sung by the world-renowned jazz vocalist Frank Sinatra, “It Might As Well Be Spring” is a work that reflects a broad musical sensibility spanning jazz, pop, and classical.
Originally written for the 1945 musical film State Fair, its memorable melody and sophisticated arrangement have earned it a place on multiple albums.
The song beautifully captures the feeling of yearning for spring’s arrival, allowing listeners to savor springlike emotions even when it isn’t spring.
Showcasing Sinatra’s rich expressive power, this classic is perfect for a long spring evening.
When you’re feeling tired, give it a listen and let it soothe you.
Spring Can Really Hang You up the MostBette Midler
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?

StarmanDavid Bowie
I’m not sure if it has anything to do with the season, but there’s no doubt it’s a masterpiece.
Since the theme is space, it might be cool to listen to it while gazing up at the spring night sky.
The cheerful, exciting season of spring might pair well with the vivid impact of glam rock.
Be sure to learn the lyrics so you can sing it at karaoke.

1 on the UK charts.
It seamlessly blends the sample of Dionne Warwick’s Walk On By with lyrics that showcase her unique worldview, and its music video also generated major buzz.
Perfect for spring, the song’s charm lies in how it instills courage and hope for new beginnings.
It’s an energetic yet heartwarming track that’s ideal for kicking off a new chapter in life.
