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.

Spring Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mengapakah hatiku
Teringatkan dirimu
Semenjak kita saling bertemu
Bagai ada terikat
Merisik perasaan
Cinta ku bagai berputik lagi

Sungguh lama rasanya

Kau dan aku terpisah
Kerana saling membawa arah

Kini datang bertemu
Rasa kasih sayangku
Setelah ku terpandang
Raut wajahmu

Di dalam diam aku merindu
Aku memandang segala rasa
Pada dirimu

Di dalam diam aku cemburu
Bila terbayang kenangan kita
Waktu dahulu

Masih adakah rasa cinta di hatimu
Masih adakah kesempatan

Untuk diriku mengulangi
Bersamamu
Tidak tertanggung jiwaku
Di dalam diam menyintaimu

Di dalam diam aku merindu
Aku memandang segala rasa
Pada dirimu
Di dalam diam aku cemburu
Bila terbayang kenangan kita
Waktu dahulu

Masih adakah rasa cinta di hatimu
Masih adakah kesempatan
Untuk diriku mengulangi
Bersamamu

Tidak tertanggung jiwaku
Di dalam diam menyintaimu

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Spring's song "Diam Merindu" express the longing and emotions of a person who is reminiscing about a past love. The opening lines speak of how the person's heart is constantly reminded of the person they once knew and how their connection feels unbreakable. The lyrics further describe how the separation between them has been a long and difficult journey, as they both moved on with their lives.

However, fate brings them back together, and the singer feels a renewed sense of love and affection. The lines depict the singer's admiration for the other person's face and how it brings back memories of their past. The chorus reveals the singer's intense emotions, as they quietly long for their former lover, observing and relishing every feeling associated with them. The lyrics also touch upon jealousy, as the singer becomes envious when they think about the memories they shared together.

The song questions whether there is still love in the other person's heart and if there is a chance for the singer to start over with them. The lyrics suggest that the singer's feelings are uncontainable and that they passionately love in silence.
