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.

Refrein:
Vrije val
Ik leef in vrije val
En niemand kan voorspellen
Wanneer ik landen zal
Vrije val
Ik leef in vrije val
En wat ze van me zeggen dat doet me geen bal

Vrije vaaaaaaaal
Ik leef in vrije val
Vrije vaaaaaaaal
Ik leef in vrije val
Mijn leven is een grote rit op een achtbaan
Met duizend kriebels naar omhoog naar omlaag
Als het ook hard kan waarom zou je dan zacht gaan
En als het snel kan waarom moet het dan traag
Zoveel te beleven en het leven is zo kort
Ik wil alles geven als ik ' s morgens wakker word
Refrein
Ben ik nieuwsgierig als ik alles wil weten
Ben ik te gulzig als ik alles wil doen
Ik denk het niet ik ben alleen maar bezeten
Nu ik hier ben wil ik mijn tijd niet verdoen
Zoveel te beleven en het leven is zo kort
Ik wil alles geven als ik 's morgens wakker word
Refrein
En als ik moe ben van het jachten
En in mijn bed de rust weer vind

Dan kan ik bijna niet meer wachten
Tot de nieuwe dag begiiiint ......

Line by Line Meaning

Vrije val
Falling freely

Ik leef in vrije val
I live in free fall

En niemand kan voorspellen
And no one can predict

Wanneer ik landen zal
When I will land

Vrije val
Free fall

Ik leef in vrije val
I live in free fall

En wat ze van me zeggen dat doet me geen bal
And what they say about me doesn't affect me

Vrije vaaaaaaaal
Free faaaaaaall

Ik leef in vrije val
I live in free fall

Vrije vaaaaaaaal
Free faaaaaaall

Ik leef in vrije val
I live in free fall

Mijn leven is een grote rit op een achtbaan
My life is a big rollercoaster ride

Met duizend kriebels naar omhoog naar omlaag
With a thousand thrills up and down

Als het ook hard kan waarom zou je dan zacht gaan
If it can also be hard, why go easy?

En als het snel kan waarom moet het dan traag
And if it can be fast, why slow down?

Zoveel te beleven en het leven is zo kort
So much to experience and life is so short

Ik wil alles geven als ik ' s morgens wakker word
I want to give everything when I wake up in the morning

Ben ik nieuwsgierig als ik alles wil weten
Am I curious if I want to know everything

Ben ik te gulzig als ik alles wil doen
Am I too greedy if I want to do everything

Ik denk het niet ik ben alleen maar bezeten
I don't think so, I'm just obsessed

Nu ik hier ben wil ik mijn tijd niet verdoen
Now that I'm here, I don't want to waste my time

En als ik moe ben van het jachten
And when I'm tired of chasing

En in mijn bed de rust weer vind
And find rest in my bed again

Dan kan ik bijna niet meer wachten
Then I can hardly wait

Tot de nieuwe dag begiiiint ......
Until the new day begiiiiiins......
