It Might as Well Be Spring

Glenn Thomas with you on Mechanical Music Radio.

And we open up the program with an 87 keyless Ruth Spokane carousel playing It Might As Well Be Spring.

This is on the other side of the continent to coast me.

And it was recorded about 15, 20 years ago.

I was doing some air piano playing here in the studio.

Up next, we've got It Might As Well Be Spring by Nina Simone.

I think this song is so beautifully written.

Just, yeah, really listen out to the lyrics of this one.

I sit around and moan, pretending that I am so I'm as restless as a willow in a windstorm I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string I'd say that I had spring fever Like a nightingale without a song.

I keep wishing I were somewhere else, walking down a strange new street, hearing words I'm as busy as a spider spinning daydreams I'm as giddy as a baby on a swing I haven't seen a crocus Or a robin, or a bluebird on the wing.

But I feel so gay in a melancholy way that it might as well be spring.

It might as well be It might as well be spring
