Spring is inevitable and will come very soon. Winter can’t last forever and we all get bored of winter in the middle of last winter month. So what do we need? Spring weather at least. Music creates the best mood. You can turn it on with headphones if you’re in the car or on the subway to work, put it in the background while you’re cooking in the kitchen, or play records if you’re a fan. nice voice.
What compositions are suitable for us to feel the approach of spring? Let’s start with something that isn’t obvious. Here is my playlist.
The Shocking Blue, Long and Lonely Road.
Shocking Blue’s history began when Dutch guitarist Robbie van Leeuwen heard Eric Clapton’s Strange Brew in 1967 and thought it might be a good name for the band. Not only the name, but also the group itself appeared.
The standout of the team was Mariska Veres, a Hungarian gypsy with a great voice and a woman who turned art upside down.
In 1969 they wrote the song above, which could be the anthem of that generation and the anthem of spring. It sings about the long and desolate road each of us takes on our own to find our own world. And in general we will think that this is the road to spring.
Boris Grebenshchikov, Burlak.
This song is one of the strongest expressions of what is often referred to as Russian rock. It’s more of a bard song, but the song is so powerful that it’s as if the Beatles, Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix came together in one impulse to sing the Russian spring and the Russian hard part.
The song was written in 1992, at the turn of the ages and timelessness. This is a time of decline of Russian civilization, a time of famine and domestic panic. That’s when this song of hope appeared. And these words: “How will the snow melt – ah, what will happen next. And how the ice breaks – oh, what will happen to me ”- we remember this as a manifesto and, of course, a window into the future, which will be positive for us.
Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II, Might Be Spring.

Spring is associated with love at best, or at least falling in love. And for a close encounter, it’s hard to find anything more sensual and romantic than Sinatra’s voice and the simple but heartfelt words: “”I want so many other things I’ve never had before” – that is, “I’d like so many things I haven’t been here yet.”
KINO, “Spring”.
Like everything Viktor Tsoi has written, it is a surprising song with its simplicity, and a dissuasive song with its rather crude sincerity. Sharp and poignant like the March frost of 1985. The lyrical hero suffers from a runny nose and walks in wet boots, thus assuming the difficulty of the path to spring, and at the same time confessing his love to her: “Spring. I can’t sit at home Bahar. I love spring”.
Tom Waits, you can never prevent Spring.
It would seem that the former hooligan, drunkard, artist, pianist and the most muffled voice in history played the main roles for a long time, releasing gold discs and traveling around the world with quite shocking concerts. But in 2005 he suddenly released a song so soft and touching that it embodied my simple thought from the beginning of this article that spring is inevitable and nothing can stop or prevent it. In fact, this is what the ancient Greek Aeschylus wrote in the tetralogy of “Oresteia”. It is sometimes assumed to be a trilogy, since the fourth episode disappeared four hundred years before our era, but the truth is that it is a work of exactly four parts, and each episode corresponds to its own season. And actually the beginning of spring should happen right there in the fourth chapter, and no one can prevent it. And I wouldn’t be confused if the text didn’t disappear. But in 2005, Tom Waits said that spring cannot be preserved because that is the logic of the universe.
DDT, “Player Spring”.
It is a tragic piece that draws the audience to an inescapable longing for the joy of spring. Yury Shevchuk dedicated the song to his wife, who died in 1992. In the composition, we hear calls not to give up and to “survive until spring” because despite all the difficulties, we have nothing left to do but enjoy life. Sadness comes by itself independently of us, but happiness is a man-made phenomenon that we go to overcome grief. “Sun – the general secretary delays lorgnette in the imperial box.”
And if you’ll excuse me, I recommend the electric version of this song from the album Plastun. He wakes up, you know, to a new life sharper, better.
