Spring, Heart Aflutter! Classic Western Hits (31–40)
April 29, 1992Sublime
A track from Sublime’s masterpiece album “Sublime,” emblematic of 90s crossover bands.
It’s full of their native California vibe, with a quintessentially 90s blend of alternative hip-hop and reggae that’s absolutely spot-on.
While it perfectly suits the cheerful mood of spring, the lyrics themselves are serious, centering on the theme of the Los Angeles riots.
StarboyThe Weeknd ft. Daft Punk
The title track from the album released by The Weeknd in 2016.
The title was inspired by David Bowie.
It’s a song about the ego that was performed at the 2016 American Music Awards.
StrandedAmy Pearson
Its refreshing sound and vocals are just perfect for a clear spring day, don’t you think? This is a song by the UK singer-songwriter Amy Pearson.
It’s included on her 2008 album “Who I Am.”
After The Storm ft. Tyler, The Creator, Bootsy CollinsKali Uchis
Kali Uchis is a singer-songwriter from the United States with Colombian roots.
She’s known for a musical style grounded in soul and funk, and her track “After The Storm ft.
Tyler, The Creator, Bootsy Collins” showcases a uniquely soulful expression.
If I had to sum up the vibe in one phrase, it would be soul leaning toward funk with a delicate, airy atmosphere.
That soft, hazy mood makes it perfect for spring, so be sure to give it a listen.
The Rain Song (2012 Remaster)Led Zeppelin
For Led Zeppelin, this is a ballad featured on their fifth album, Houses of the Holy, notable for its meticulous and dramatic arrangement.
The lyrics, which contrast the fickleness of love with the changing seasons, evoke a deeply sentimental, melancholic mood.
Another highlight is bassist John Paul Jones’s performance on the Mellotron, recreating string-like sounds.
Spring, Thrilling! Classic Western Songs (41–50)
All About That BassMeghan Trainor
I think this song wonderfully captures a spring-like poppiness, lightness, and mildness.
Meghan Trainor’s “All About That Bass.” It’s a song I personally love as well.
Listening to it again, the bass line conveys a tropical, laid-back vibe, and I realized it’s a track that neatly includes elements that make it fun.
I think it’s a very well-crafted, truly outstanding classic.
The First Days of SpringNoah and the Whale
This song, which pays homage to boundless beauty, is the title track of the second album by the British folk band Noah and the Whale, released in 2009.
The album received a five-star rating from the British daily newspaper The Times.
