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.

Mengapa Perpisahan Yang Kau Pinta
Spring Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Seketika itu sepi mencuit hati
Hanya suara hujan seakan menyanyi
Mendendangkan lagu syahdu

Seketika ku terpegun
Merenung jauh gambarmu sayangku
Terkilan rasa bila kata-katamu
Kau ucapkan padaku

Membuat ku terpaku
Bersama-sama suratmu
Setelah ku baca kini
Seolah ku berada dalam mimpi

Titisan demi titisan
Airmata ku jatuh berlinangan
Kugenggam gambarmu dalam pelukan mesra
Tak mungkin dapat ku melupakanmu

Sayang
Di dalam dunia ini
Tak mungkin dapat ku cari pengganti dirimu
Oh mengapa perpisahan yang kau pinta

Janganlah kau lupa suatu ketika dulu
Kita pernah bersama berjanji dan bercinta
Tapi kini kau mungkiri setelah janjimu dulu
Di manakah letak kejujuranmu

Titisan demi titisan
Airmata ku jatuh berlinangan
Kugenggam gambarmu dalam pelukan mesra
Tak mungkin dapat ku melupakanmu

Sayang
Di dalam dunia ini
Tak mungkin dapat ku cari pengganti dirimu

Oh mengapa perpisahan yang kau pinta
Dariku dariku

The singer reflects on the past relationship and the pain caused by the words spoken by their loved one, feeling stunned and lost in contemplation. The mention of a letter further deepens the emotional impact, as reading it feels like being in a dream.

The chorus illustrates the intense emotions experienced by the singer, with tears falling continuously and clinging to the memories of their loved one in an intimate embrace. The repeated line "Tak mungkin dapat ku melupakanmu," meaning "I cannot forget you," highlights the difficulty of moving on from the relationship.
