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 ↴

Ik wil je nooit meer nooit meer zien
Ik wil je nooit meer nooit meer zien
Of toch heel even misschien
Want ik heb nog een vraag
Zie je mij nog even graag

Ik wil je nooit meer nooit meer zien
Ik wil je nooit meer nooit meer zien

Of toch heel even misschien
Het is echt goed bedoeld
Ik wil weten wat jij voelt

Jij was mijn leven, mijn godin
Maar ik geloof er niet meer in
Bedrog en leugen heeft zijn prijs
Wie doet als jij zakt door het ijs

Ik ben nu uit een droom ontwaakt
Je had een slaaf van mij gemaakt
Ik weet nu wie hier voor mij staat
Je toont me nu pas jouw gelaat

Ik haat de grond waarop je loopt
Ik haat de kleren die je koopt
Ik haat het kuiltje in je wang
Je glimlach maakt me bang

Ik wil je nooit meer nooit meer zien
Ik wil je nooit meer nooit meer zien
Of toch heel even misschien
Want ik heb nog een vraag
Zie je mij nog even graag

Ik wil je nooit meer nooit meer zien
Ik wil je nooit meer nooit meer zien
Of toch heel even misschien
Het is echt goed bedoeld
Ik wil weten wat jij voelt

Je weet mijn liefde was heel groot
Maar wat ik voelde lijkt nu dood
Bedrog verdraag ik niet mevrouw
En nee, ik hoef ook geen berouw

Hier zijn je sjaal en je cadeaus
En al je brieven in een doos
Neem al je spullen mee naar huis
Want jij hoort hier niet meer thuis

Ik haat de grond waarop je loopt
Ik haat de kleren die je koopt
Ik haat het kuiltje in je wang
Je glimlach maakt me bang

Ik wil je nooit meer nooit meer zien
Ik wil je nooit meer nooit meer zien
Of toch heel even misschien
Want ik heb nog een vraag
Zie je mij nog even graag

Ik wil je nooit meer nooit meer zien
Ik wil je nooit meer nooit meer zien
Of toch heel even misschien
Het is echt goed bedoeld
Ik wil weten wat jij voelt

Ik haat de woorden die je zegt
En al jouw grappen vind ik slecht
Jouw vrienden zie ik niet meer staan
Het is voorgoed gedaan

Ik wil je nooit meer nooit meer zien
Ik wil je nooit meer nooit meer zien
Of toch heel even misschien
Want ik heb nog een vraag
Zie je mij nog even graag

Ik wil je nooit meer nooit meer zien
Ik wil je nooit meer nooit meer zien
Of toch heel even misschien

Het is echt goed bedoeld
Ik wil weten wat jij voelt

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Nooit meer zien" by Spring express a deep sense of heartbreak and disillusionment towards someone who was once considered a significant part of the singer's life. The repeated refrain "Ik wil je nooit meer nooit meer zien" emphasizes the strong desire to cut ties completely with this person, but there is also a lingering uncertainty and vulnerability expressed through the lines "Of toch heel even misschien" and "Want ik heb nog een vraag, Zie je mij nog even graag."

The lyrics reflect a journey of realization and awakening, where the singer comes to terms with being deceived and used by the person they once held in high regard. Lines such as "Jij was mijn leven, mijn godin, Maar ik geloof er niet meer in" and "Bedrog en leugen heeft zijn prijs, Wie doet als jij zakt door het ijs" highlight the shift from idolizing this person to seeing them in a new, negative light.

The verses delve into feelings of disgust and resentment towards the individual, demonstrated through the intense hatred expressed in lines like "Ik haat de grond waarop je loopt" and "Ik haat het kuiltje in je wang, Je glimlach maakt me bang." These emotions showcase the hurt and betrayal experienced by the singer, culminating in a decision to sever ties completely and reclaim their sense of self-worth.

As the song progresses, the singer takes a stand for themselves by returning the person's belongings and cutting off all ties, symbolizing a definitive end to the toxic relationship. The lyrics capture a sense of closure and empowerment as the singer declares their independence and resolve to move forward without the person who caused them pain.

In the final verses, there is a sense of finality and a clear rejection of the past relationship, as the singer firmly states their decision to move on and disregard any remaining feelings of affection or attachment. The juxtaposition of the desire to never see the person again with the curiosity about their feelings signifies a complex mix of emotions, showcasing the internal struggle to let go completely. The song encapsulates the journey of healing and self-discovery, ultimately culminating in a firm declaration of independence and self-respect.

Line by Line Meaning

Ik wil je nooit meer nooit meer zien
I never want to see you again

Of toch heel even misschien
Or maybe just for a moment

Want ik heb nog een vraag
Because I still have a question

Zie je mij nog even graag
Do you still love me a little

Jij was mijn leven, mijn godin
You were my life, my goddess

Maar ik geloof er niet meer in
But I no longer believe

Bedrog en leugen heeft zijn prijs
Deception and lies have consequences

Wie doet als jij zakt door het ijs
Those who act like you fall through the ice

Ik ben nu uit een droom ontwaakt
I have now awakened from a dream

Je had een slaaf van mij gemaakt
You had made a slave of me

Ik weet nu wie hier voor mij staat
I now know who is in front of me
