Once the weather gets warmer, the flowers bloom, and the leaves turn green, it’s evident that spring has sprung. With the season of renewal upon us, our attitudes change as well. You might even be inspired to do a little spring cleaning. However, it’s not only your bedroom or the sticks that accumulate in your backyard that need to be cleaned up. Your music playlists could use some tidying too.
Since music is one of the biggest aspects of many people’s lives, it’s essential that the songs you listen to match your mood. Whether you’re blasting music on the bus through your AirPods or playing soft tunes while working on homework, the soundtrack to your life is extremely important. As winter comes to an end, you should consider switching up what you’re listening to. Maybe consider opting for upbeat songs that can lift your mood and fit with the warmer weather. To guide you through creating that playlist, here are some new releases and other songs that are perfect for spring:
“Springsteen” by Eric Church
This 2011 song is one that can almost instantly mark the turn of the season. From morning birds chirping on crisp April days, all the way to the first day of summer, “Springsteen” is a warm weather song through and through. The mellow, country-esque chords make for a perfect late-spring melody.
Lover (the album) by Taylor Swift
Taylor Swift’s Album Lover, released in 2019, is filled with fun and upbeat songs. Swift always has a way of making you feel different emotions; from crying to wanting to bust a move. Songs like “London Boy,” “Lover,”“Cruel Summer,” and “Paper Rings” radiate spring and early summer vibes.
“All Falls Down” by Lizzy McAlpine
This song comes from McAlpine’s third studio album, Older, released earlier this April. The brass sections in the instrumental help create a jazz-like feel. Although the lyrics are somewhat depressing, the instrumental is upbeat. Nevertheless, listening to the sound of McAlpine’s soft voice is a great way to start the season.
“Washington Lilacs” by Zach Bryan
As we all know, spring isn’t always about sunshine and daisies. A majority of the time, from mid-March to late June, thunderstorms and short rain showers pass through. This nostalgic song is perfect for those rainy days. It focuses on the Lilacs that grow in Washington around Mid-April every year. While it is a slower song, it reflects on past spring seasons, and has an overall energy that fits with the season. So next time an April shower rolls through, turn this tune on.
“Gypsy” by Fleetwood Mac
This song is sure to get you in the spring mood. “Gypsy” is one of Fleetwood Mac’s more popular songs, providing a dream-like atmosphere through the band’s signature style. It’s upbeat and makes you want to twirl around in a field of flowers.
“Espresso” by Sabrina Carpenter
Another new release within the last few weeks is the pop song “Espresso.” The music is upbeat and the lyrics will easily get stuck in your head. This makes it the perfect song to sing along to while driving through town with the windows down.
