Monday Music Moves Me is to think about sunny spring weather to come. Ughh….it’s March which, in my area, means warm weather..nope…cold…nope, rain, nope, it’s freezing…wait, snowing..ughhhh, I give up. I hate March because it’s schizoid and disrupts my brain, an easy feat, mind you, but still crazy so thinking Spring is nice…
1. SO EARLY IN THE SPRING SUNG BY JUDY COLLINS-1965
This is sung so beautifully by Judy Collins who gave this sweet, albeit, melancholy song justice with her exquisite voice. It’s based on a traditional, British folk tune about a man who leaves the woman he loves, when he goes out to sea. When he returns, he finds that she is now with someone else. Ouch! What a wench!
2. SPRING IS HERE SUNG BY CARLY SIMON-1981
This is so well sung by the inimitable Carly Simon from a song written by Lorenz Hart and Richard Rodger’s back in 1938 for the musical, “ I Married An Angel” and was originally sung by Dennis King and Vivienne Segal. In fact, Hart fell hard for Ms. Segal and asked her to marry him, more than once, but she always said no. The lyrics seem to evoke his disappointment in losing this love.
3. SPRING FEVER SUNG BY ELVIS AND SHELLEY FABARES-1965
This is just a silly song for a silly beach movie that starred Elvis and Shelley Fabares as 2 silly kids who want to have a nice break in Florida on the beach. This song doesn’t win any awards but, it put a smile on my face so, that’s why it’s here.
What songs makes you think of spring?
Sorry, you are far enough north that spring weather will take a while...
ReplyDeleteIt’s beginning to sound like spring
ReplyDeleteYup, March is always crazy, but it's supposed to be very spring-like this weekend. Looking forward to that! Interesting mix of tunes. I only remembered the Elvis one. Harley looks wistful in that photo. ♥
ReplyDeleteWe are getting a taste of spring, but I'm sure there will be more cold and wet. Love the videos.
ReplyDeleteHave a fabulous day and rest of the week. ♥
Y'alls weather is not only terrible, but its crazy. We get our share of crazy stuff, too. Thankfully, it's not as drastic as yours. March is often a rollercoaster ride. Right now, we're in a warming pattern which is sure to begin the awakening cycle for plants. DH told me a couple of weeks ago forecasters were saying we're expected a cooler than usual March. I hope that's wrong. Thanks for sharing your all new-to-me song picks. Have a boogietastic week, Birgit! xo
ReplyDeleteI just love Carly Simon’s singing that song…
ReplyDeleteMild,sunny and just perfect for getting the washing dry here …but will it last….take care xxxx
Sheesh, yesterday freezing drizzle, today 48 and not a cloud in the sky, tomorrow will be rain. Early next week maybe 70, then back to 30's. Really? I needed the fun and silly song.
ReplyDeleteWhen it's Spring again I'll bring again
