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 ↴
De laatste van de klas, de hekkensluiter
Maar er was één les waar ik mijn aandacht nooit verloor
En daar had ik een goede reden voor
Ik was verliefd op de juf
Op de juf van fysica
Ze was zo mooi, ze was zo lief
Ja, ze brak mijn hart in stukken
Ik deed elke proef mislukken
Door m′n liefde voor die juf van fysica
Ik werd een wonderbaarlijk wetenschapper
En Monica die werd altijd maar knapper
Ik werd verslaafd aan formules en sindsdien
Kreeg ik voor elke toets een dikke tien
Ik was verliefd op de juf
Op de juf van fysica
Ze was zo mooi, ze was zo lief
Ze heette juffrouw Monica
Ja, ze brak mijn hart in stukken
Ik deed elke proef mislukken
Door m'n liefde voor die juf van fysica
Ik was verliefd op de juf
Op de juf van fysica
Ze was zo mooi, ze was zo lief
Ze heette juffrouw Monica
Ja, ze brak mijn hart in stukken
Ik deed elke proef mislukken
Door m′n liefde voor die juf van fysica
E is M maal C kwadraat
E is M maal C kwadraat
Maar, op een dag zei Monica "M'n jongen"
"Er is een tijd van komen en van gaan"
Mijn ogen zijn met tranen volgesprongen
Omdat ze nooit meer voor de klas zou staan
Ik was verliefd op de juf
Op de juf van fysica
Ze was zo mooi, ze was zo lief
Ze heette juffrouw Monica
Ja, ze brak mijn hart in stukken
Ik deed elke proef mislukken
Door m'n liefde voor die juf van fysica
Door m′n liefde voor die juf van fysica
"Juf Van Fysica" is a heartwarming song by Dutch singer Spring that sings about his love for his physics teacher, Juffrouw Monica. Spring reminisces about his school days when he was a carefree student who was last in the class. However, there was one class which he always paid attention to - physics class. The reason he never lost his focus was that he was in love with his physics teacher, Juffrouw Monica. Spring describes Juffrouw Monica as beautiful and sweet, and he was so much in love with her that he failed in every single experiment in her class.
As the song moves forward, Spring becomes a successful scientist, and Juffrouw Monica keeps getting more beautiful. He thanks his love for her physics class, which drove him to become a brilliant scientist. He aced every exam, thanks to his knowledge of formulas, which he gained in her class. However, the song takes a sad turn when Juffrouw Monica announces that she is leaving the school. The song ends with Spring reminiscing about his love and how Juffrouw Monica broke his heart by leaving the school.
In summary, the song "Juf Van Fysica" is a beautiful tribute to a teacher who inspired a student to pursue a career in physics. The song tells the story of how love changed Spring's life through the teachings of Juffrouw Monica.

I got a perfect ten in every exam
Maar, op een dag zei Monica “M’n jongen”
But one day Monica said to me, “My boy”
“Er is een tijd van komen en van gaan”
“There is a time for everything”
Mijn ogen zijn met tranen volgesprongen
My eyes filled with tears
Omdat ze nooit meer voor de klas zou staan
Because she would never teach in the class again
