Top 10 Pop Songs for Spring
By Bill Lamb, About.com
Spring is a great season to celebrate rebirth and new life. Pop music is the perfect accompaniment. This is an admittedly idiosyncratic list of spring favorites as few pop songs speak about spring directly. These are the songs that bring to mind for me the hope, joy, beauty, and carefree spirit of springtime.
1. U2 – Beautiful Day (2000)
U2′s anthem to recognizing the beauty in the world around you is a perfect accompaniment to the new life and new spirit of spring.
2. Cat Stevens – Morning Has Broken (1972)
“Morning Has Broken” is one of the few overtly religious songs to make the pop top 10. Cat Stevens’ version remains a spiritually affirming pop classic.
3. Hanson – MMMBop (1997)
Even it weren’t for the delirious joyfulness in the music, the analogies between love and flowers that need to be planted and nurtured makes “MMMBop” perfect for spring listening.
4. Dario G – Sunchyme (1998)
Dario G’s mostly instrumental ode to sunrise did not reach the pop singles chart, but it was a top 10 dance hit. This song includes a perfect use of a sample incorporating portions of Dream Academy’s classic “Life in a Northern Town.”
5. Lovin’ Spoonful – Daydream (1966)
The simple joys of being in love on a spring day are the subject matter of this irresistible pop classic.
6. Patti LaBelle – New Attitude (1985)
Spring is a time to make changes in life and head in new directions. Patti LaBelle’s mid-80′s hit “New Attitude” is the perfect theme song for these personal adjustments.
7. Simon and Garfunkel – The 59th Street Bridge Song (Feelin’ Groovy) (1966)
Perfect spring bliss that clocks in at under 2 minutes.
8. Smash Mouth – All Star (1999)
Self-affirmation is fundamentally important for getting in the mood and mindset for spring and few recent hit songs are better for boosting self-esteem than this Smash Mouth hit.
9. Rumble Strips – Motorcycle (2005)
I first wrote about this unique and thoroughly charming pop song from the UK in November, 2005. The subject of the song has little to do overtly with spring, but the sound and spirit are perfect.
10. Hugh Masakela – Grazing in the Grass (1968)
It’s purely instrumental, but the horns and jazzy soulful vibe of this classic evoke visions of sunshine, green grass, and a beautiful world.
So there. Hope that helps in your springtime singing! Enjoy!
