Spring, Hearts Aflutter! Iconic Western Hits (91–100)
The SoundThe 1975
A song released in 2016 by the British rock band The 1975.
It was featured in the 2016 film Me Before You, based on Jojo Moyes’s bestselling book.
The track reached No.
1 on Billboard’s Japan Hot Overseas chart.
RosesThe Chainsmokers
This is a track by the American DJ duo The Chainsmokers featuring singer ROZES.
It’s got an addictive, quintessential EDM sound, and ROZES’s vocals layered over it are so beautiful they instantly capture your attention.
Can’t Stop The SpringThe Flaming Lips
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!
A Beautiful MorningThe Rascals
It’s a classic you’ll want to play on a spring morning, when the winter chill that makes it so hard to leave the futon finally eases and you wake up feeling great in the warm sunshine! “A Beautiful Morning” is a 1968 hit by the Rascals, the music group that racked up numerous hits mainly in the 1960s.
It was also the first single they released after changing their name from the Young Rascals to the Rascals.
With a bright, refreshing sound that pairs a blue-eyed soul-style falsetto melody with a Latin-tinged rhythm featuring bongos, the song creates a delightful contrast that makes you feel like you’ll have a wonderful day just by listening.
As an aside, the Rascals are a group that Tatsuro Yamashita has openly cited as an influence.
Keeping that in mind while you listen makes it all the more interesting.
Another LoveTom Odell
It’s a spring love song about lingering feelings for an ex.
It was included on British singer-songwriter Tom Odell’s 2013 album Long Way Down.
Rather than sadness or heartbreak, it exudes a kind of stubborn refusal to let go, making it a work with a shadowy undertone.
YOUTHTroye Sivan
Troye Sivan is a South Africa–born Australian singer-songwriter and actor, who is also known as a YouTube personality.
This song was released as a single in 2015.
The music video, which depicts a house party, was directed by Maria James, and the silver jacket Troye wears belonged to the director’s father.
Changing of the SeasonsTwo Door Cinema Club
It’s a song by the British rock band Two Door Cinema Club.
The lyrics are strikingly sad, expressing how my feelings for you have changed like the seasons.
People often say that when the environment changes, relationships change too.
On the other hand, the track has their signature pop vibe, and it carries a fresh, spring-like brightness.
