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. For verification you can check Tarantula recordings, a part of Bucks Music Group, London.

Puas sudah aku tertanya dimana
Salahnya lagi
Kelu lidah untuk berkata tak kena nanti menyakiti
Bukan aku meminta minta tak perlu engkau simpati
Walau lama telah bersama masih tak
Searah lagi

Maafkanlah aku

Mengingatkan sesuatu
Yang tidak pernah tersentuh
Olehmu oh teman
Nan lalu

Perjalanan masih jauh
Ada luka yang perlu sembuh
Ada jiwa yang kian rapuh

Keiklasan dari hati
Bukan nukan dunia yang engkau miliki
Kita sentiasa diuji
Fahami teman
Yang ku maksudkan
Semoga kita terus berpanjangan

Kepada tuhan
Aku berserah
Pengasih
Dan maha permurah

Maafkanlah aku
Mengingatkan sesuatu
Yang tidak pernah tersentuh
Olehmu oh teman
Nan lalu

Perjalanan masih jauh
Ada luka yang perlu sembuh
Ada jiwa yang kian rapuh

Keiklasan dari hati
Bukan dunia yang engkau miliki
Kita sentiasa diuji
Oho

Fahami teman
Yang ku maksudkan
Semoga kita terus berpanjangan

Kepada tuhan
Aku berserah
Pengasih
Dan maha permurah

Berkali aku
Menghiris hatimu
Sekadar
Apa yang ku mampu

Andai terjadi
Yang tak ku ingini
Permata
Tak berharga lagi

Owo

Ohu ohu
Ohu ohu

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Spring's song "Permata Yang Rapuh" convey a sense of reflection and apologies. The singer of the song is questioning where they went wrong and regretting the hurt their words may have caused. They acknowledge that they didn't ask for sympathy and despite being together for a long time, they feel that they are not on the same page anymore. The singer seeks forgiveness and brings up something that has never been touched upon by the person they are addressing, a friend from the past.

The song emphasizes that the journey is still long and there are wounds that need to heal. The soul is becoming fragile, indicating that the challenges and tests of life are taking a toll. The singer believes that sincerity comes from the heart and it is not about the possessions or worldly things one possesses. They express a desire for understanding from their friend, hoping that their bond will continue to grow.

The chorus repeats the plea for forgiveness and reminds the listener that there are still wounds to heal and fragile souls. The song ends by surrendering to the mercy and compassion of God, highlighting the belief in a higher power.
