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.

Spring Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'k zou altijd naast je lopen
Wat zou ik graag jouw kamer zijn
Mijn deur stond altijd open
Wat zou ik graag jouw deken zijn
'k zou altijd bij je slapen
Wat zou ik graag jouw spiegel zijn
Dan zou je naar me gapen
Ik ben zo gek op jou
Zo super formidabel mega gek op jou
Op je neusje en je kraagje en het kuiltje in je kin
Ik ben zo gek op jou
Zo super formidabel mega gek op jou
Op die lichtjes in je ogen want daar kijk ik zo graag in
'k ben zo gek op jou
Wat zou ik graag jouw neusje zijn
'k zou altijd aan je ruiken
Wat zou ik graag een zwembad zijn
Dan zou ik in je duiken
Wat zou ik graag een koekje zijn
Dan zou ik in je bijten
Wat zou ik graag jouw keuken zijn
'k zou steeds met jouw ontbijten
REFREIN
Ik ben de leukste van het dorp
Je moet naar mij 's kijken
Ik ben uniek je kan me echt
Met niemand vergelijken
In denk aan jou echt dag en nacht
Ik kan haast niet meer eten
Daarom vraag ik maak ik een kans
Ik zou het willen weten

Ik ben zo gek op jou
The lyrics to the song "Gek op jou" by Spring are a depiction of someone's admiration and affection for another person. The song is structured in stanzas where the singer expresses their desire to become different objects that are close to their object of affection. For instance, the lyrics mention wanting to become a dog so they can always be near the person they love or a mirror so that they can catch their attention.
The song's chorus declares the singer's love for the person they admire. The lyrics express how they are "so super formidabel mega gek op jou" and that they are in love with everything about the person, from their nose to the little indentation in their chin.
In some ways, the song can be interpreted as a humorous and creative way of expressing the level of affection and admiration that the singer has for someone. The lyrics use imaginative comparisons to express the depth of their love as well as a carefree, playful tone.
