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?
