A soundtrack to spring

As the daffodils start to appear and blossom tentatively creeps onto the trees here in my corner of the UK, I thought it was the perfect time for a soundtrack to welcome in the spring.

Note: this is an updated post & playlist from 2023

I love reflecting the mood of nature with the music I listen to, and spring is no exception. There are some beautiful songs around that celebrate the turning of the seasons, capturing the gentle tentative wakening of the world.
