A Panoply of Song - A Spring & Summer Mix
Explanation:
Spring is upon us! Here's a mix for blossoming flowers and returning birdsong, sunny days and fireworks displays.
A Panoply of Song - A Spring & Summer Mix:
01. Fleet Foxes - Ragged Wood
Come down from the mountain, you have been gone too long
The spring is upon us, follow my only song
02. The Weepies - I Was Made For Sunny Days
and the late light lingers on the grass
and the nights are dark but then they pass
they don't seem so deep
03. Josh Ritter - Snow Is Gone
It's been a long time coming
But now the snow is gone
04. Nina Simone - Another Spring
And then one morning
Another spring is there outside my door
05. Brett Dennen - So Long Sweet Misery
I would paint your portrait over everything mundane
more colorful than Easter Sunday
06. Lavender Diamond - Rise in the Springtime
And so we rise up to the east
And so we rise up to the sun
07-09. Vivaldi - Spring I-III
(If we were to play a word association game, you'd say "spring," and I'd say Vivaldi.)
10. Led Zeppelin - The Rain Song
This is the springtime of my loving - the second season I am to know
[...]
It is the summer of my smiles - flee from me Keepers of the Gloom.
11. James Vincent McMorrow - This Old Dark Machine
Spring it came upon us,
Every insect filled the air
[...]
Then they caught us in the summer
Dressed in father's finest clothes
12. Great Big Sea - Beat the Drum
I still hear the snares in the square
Colours ablaze in the evening
13-15. Vivaldi - Summer I-III
(The second concerto from "Four Seasons" evokes the heat and languidness of summer. At least, I think so!)
16. The Decemberists - June Hymn
Here's a hymn to welcome in the day
Heralding a summer's early sway
17. Phoebe Kreutz - All Summer Long
And it will keep on getting awesomer and awesomer
All summer long
18. Animal Collective - Summertime Clothes
Walking around in our summertime clothes
Nowhere to go when our bodies glow
19. Laura Veirs - July Flame
July flame
Fiery kite
Will-o-the-Wisp
Lead me through the night
20. Gregory Alan Isakov - Dandelion Wine
Summer days were just a magazine, a magazine, a magazine...
21. Dar Williams - The End of the Summer
It's the end of the summer,
You can spin the light to gold.

Zip available on Mediafire or ge.tt.
Also available just for listening on 8tracks.
Notes:
--For Laura.
--Part of this mix (ie, most of the summer songs) has been floating around on an iPod playlist for years now, but the rest was assembled in March & April 2013.
--Songs 01-09 are Winter edging into Spring, songs 10-12 are for that strange in-between seasons period, and songs 13-21 are Quintessentially Summer.
Enjoy!
