We made it through the wilderness. Somehow, we made it through. It’s finally spring!* Spring is the best. It’s not too hot, not too cold, and it is a welcome break from the dark, cold days of winter.

It’s my very favorite season, and I’ve even included my very favorite song on this playlist for you. That’s how special spring is.

Songs for spring sound a little bit like spring itself: they start slow and creep into your bones, they start with a bang and have you rolling down the windows of your car as you drive, they make you realize how beautiful your life is again. The sun is shining, girls are wearing sundresses (bless sundresses and the girls who wear them), flowers are blooming. It’s a wonderful time to be happy and alive, don’t you agree?

*Sorry, Southern Hemisphere, but at least you get autumn now? Autumn is okay, too.

Even polar bears are happy it is Spring again!
Even polar bears are happy it is Spring again!
