Spring: British band (1970's)
Spring were a Leicester-based British progressive rock band that represented the early 1970s progressive rock movement.

A one-shot band, it recorded only one album in its career, a self-titled LP released in 1971. Spring's music is notable for the use of the mellotron with three of the its five members credited with playing that instrument on the album.

Members[edit]
Spring originally consisted of Pat Moran (vocals), Ray Martinez (guitars), Kips Brown (keyboards), Pick Withers (drums) and Adrian Maloney (bass), all of whom had previously played in various local Leicester bands.

A turning point in Spring's fortunes happened after a gig in Cardiff, when the band's van broke down somewhere in the Welsh countryside, coincidentally very near where producer/engineer Kingsley Ward had recently set up Rockfield Studios. Ward would later marvel at the "coincidence of meeting a group with a broken down truck in your own home town when you have previously spent months traipsing around the country in search of talent". He was particularly intrigued by the fact that they owned a Mellotron, and "invited them down the following week for an audition with my brother Charles and myself", the outcome of which was "good enough for us to want to be involved with them". Several demo sessions followed. The band were rehearsing at Rockfield when producer Gus Dudgeon (of David Bowie and Elton John fame) dropped by to check the studio out, heard them play and expressed interest in producing them. A few months later, sessions took place at both Rockfield and London's Trident Studios, and the resulting album was released on the RCA/Neon label in 1971.

In spite of supporting Velvet Underground on a UK tour, plus Keith Christmas and The Sutherland Brothers on various dates, the band broke up in 1972 following aborted attempts at recording a second album. Two previously unreleased songs from these sessions (featuring new bassist Peter Decindis) appeared on The Laser's Edge's 1992 CD reissue of the album, along with "Fool's Gold" from the first album sessions. Moran later worked as sound engineer at Rockfield Studios, notably for Van der Graaf Generator and Robert Plant; he died in early 2011. Martinez became an in-demand session guitarist, working with the likes of Alkatraz, Michael Chapman, Gypsy, Tim Rose and Robert Plant. Pick Withers later became the drummer for Dire Straits, playing on their first four records. Kips Brown became a session musician, playing with Andy Fairweather Low and others, and was in a later band called 'Wellington'. Adrian Moloney returned to the Midlands, where he worked alongside several well-known artists and groups. A solo career as a jobbing musician and minor impresario took him all over the Midlands, and also to Tenerife for several summer seasons. He was working right up to his premature death in 2010.

Pat Moran became a notable Record Producer and worked with Lou Gramm, Robert Plant Iggy Pop, Edie Brickell and the new Bohemians as well as many others. For verification check Pat's obituary in the Guardian newspaper. On 25 May 2015 a double CD of Spring released on Esoteric Records, a part of Cherry Red Records, London. For verification you can check Tarantula recordings, a part of Bucks Music Group, London.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Sekian lamanya ku
Mengilhamkan kasihmu
Namun tiada mungkin mawarnya
Yang ku harapkan hanya
Gelita bak gerhana

Membutakan hatiku
Dan fikiranku

Baru kini ku tahu
Siapa dirimu
Insan yang tiada pendirian

Sering berubah
Hanya manis di bibir
Namun di hatimu itu kepalsuan

Tak perlu kau
Menggengam harapan
Untuk aku menjalinkan
Kasih dan sayang

Tak perlu kau
Melayarkan cinta
Seandainya kau terlena
Dibuai mimpi ngeri
Cukuplah dusta kau sajikan

Di saat aku kehausan
Betapa miskin keinsanan
Yang telah kau julang julangkan
Apalah erti kejujuran

Andainya cinta kau korbankan
Hanya kerana kemewahan
Sanggup kau gadai kesetiaan
Ulang

Tak perlu kau
Menggengam harapan
Untuk aku menjalinkan
Kasih dan sayang

Tak perlu kau
Melayarkan cinta
Seandainya kau terlena
Dibuai mimpi ngeri

Cukuplah dusta kau sajikan
Di saat aku kehausan
Betapa miskin keinsanan
Yang telah kau julang julangkan

Apalah erti kejujuran
Andainya cinta kau korbankan
Hanya kerana kemewahan
Sanggup kau gadai kesetiaan
Cukuplah dusta kau sajikan

Di saat aku kehausan
Betapa miskin keinsanan
Yang telah kau julang julangkan
Apalah erti kejujuran
Andainya cinta kau korbankan

Hanya kerana kemewahan
Sanggup kau gadai kesetiaan

Overall Meaning

The first stanza of Cukuplah Disini by Spring shows the singer expressing their long-lasting love to someone that they have been trying to win over. They acknowledge that they cannot force love, wanting only a true and genuine love rather than a transient, fleeting one. The metaphor of a solar eclipse describes the effect this person has had on the singer, blinding their heart and mind to the reality of their true character. The second stanza reveals that this person is untrustworthy and indecisive, often changing their facade and not being honest with themselves or the singer. The singer pleads that this person should not hold onto false hope of a relationship with them because any love would be tainted with lies and betrayal.

In the third stanza, the singer expresses their desperation for love but also acknowledges that riches and luxuries will never replace true love and honesty. They question the worthiness of this person’s actions, declining their love out of fear that it is not genuine. The final stanza repeats the previous thoughts of the singer, stating that honesty and loyalty are essential to any relationship, and even if this person was willing to sacrifice their love for material things, the singer would not allow themselves to be fooled by false love.
