Spring is upon us once again -- for 2010 the first official day of spring (in the Northern hemisphere) is March 20th. I love everything about spring except maybe all the spring cleaning and yardwork that must be done. And for the songwriter spring is a theme that can speak to renewal, young love, newness or a fresh start. Because the season is associated with such positive vibrations it's easy to find literally thousands of songs inspired by spring. For this playlist I've pulled together spring-inspired songs that contain the world "spring" or "springtime" in the song title. The end result is a diverse, but amiable playlist that's perfect while you organize the garage, dust the bookshelves, or plant those bulbs.
Here's wishing you a fantastic spring season 2010.
