Spring, Hearts Aflame! Classic Western Hits (61–70)
AprilDeep Purple
Deep Purple is renowned as the original hard rock band, but this track dates back to 1969, from their Mark I era when they were still described as art rock.
Rather than hard rock, it’s a large-scale piece—over 12 minutes long—that’s closer to the progressive rock of the time, performed with an orchestra.
One hallmark of art rock and progressive rock back then is that the vocals don’t even come in until just under nine minutes after the song begins.
If you only know Deep Purple as a hard rock band, you’ll probably be surprised and think, “Wait, this is them?” When people think of a “spring song,” they tend to imagine a bright tonality, but it’s interesting that this one unfolds entirely in a minor key.
It’s a rare track that lets you feel the atmosphere of the late ’60s to early ’70s—a time when rock hadn’t been fully commercialized and still existed as pure artistic expression.
Feel AgainOneRepublic
A massively popular rock band, OneRepublic released this hit in 2012.
The exhilarating feeling of a melody filled with hope that sings, “I’m not the lonely me anymore,” is perfect for the spring season of meetings and farewells.
It’s also highly recommended for anyone who wants to say goodbye to their downcast former self and meet a new version of themselves.
Come In With The RainTaylor Swift
When it comes to spring, I think many people associate it with cheerfulness and warmth.
It’s true that spring has those aspects, but in terms of romance, it can’t really be called a warm season.
There’s research indicating that spring is the season with the most breakups among the four seasons, which makes it a tough time for love.
Taylor Swift’s “Come In With The Rain” is a breakup song perfectly suited to such a harsh spring, expressing a heartbreaking cry of “I never want to go through that again.”
