Aerostat 03:14
Oh I’ve been walking down the lane Under the hippy moon I’ve been awake to watch the rain Felt a bit lazy then I’ve been up and downstairs again Seen the flowers grow But down my shower must be you I do think about Missing you, no appetite though I do see you everyday” Sara said so to her friend Jumble time- how can it be an angel makes me feel so sad? Offer me your soda drink Oh, don’t you go I may collapse and it’s because I wonder why you do feel misunderstood Jumble time-that’s not enough-to make me stop thinking about you Offer me your soda drink

Ton regard couleur saison mímpressionne Te donne raison Elixir dún ruit défendu Mon oreiller le sait si bien Je ne dors plus je tourne en rond Monos rayés ou bikinis sont tes rencontres estivales Ton sourire bien trop insensé conditionne Toutes mes pensées Elixir dún ruit défendu Mon oreiller le sait si bien Je ne dors plus je tourne en rond Monos rayés ou bikinis quand tu me mènes en bateau Mon oreiller le sait si bien Je ne dors plus je tourne en rond Mon oreiller le sait si bien Je ne dors plus de tout

Is it inconvenient to smile if I don’t wanna talk? You tell me faint is no good then I won’t get a whiskey coke Is your shadow a pretty place to feel safe? Some more sham is gonna hit Is missing full gaps Some more sham so bleak so weak Is looking blank at me Is not gonna feed me Is it inconvenient to lose my senses in a train? I only wanna rely into you if you want me to Is your shadow a pretty place to feel safe? Some more sham... Is not gonna fit me So my window’s opened now You keep on scanning all day My look my trousers and my shoes Is there anyway to get closer to you now? Switch off the light I’ve got clothes to pull off

Baby Blue 03:30
I could never feel at ease Yeah but I love you so Maybe you just wanna tease people Then I may go Maybe you just wanna please me though I can’t follow Cos I feel like I decrease whenever you do so Upside down You stick around I may be needing make-up today Siliconical affair I’ll take it off whenerver I want And I wanna feel at ease Yeah but I love you so Because often you deride ´bout me And so do I And I’ll pour milk in your tea Before I go I’ll go back to loneliness Oh I don’t wanna go Upside down... Wallowing in diffidence I wish I had a nurse everyday It´s not a serious offence When echoes of my shadow step out

Lazy 03:38
I could never gaze into space Cos your lovely sighing is amazing I do shuttle I do feel low But I may like the way you say Nothing is going wrong And I feel capricious Wanna buy a raincoat I feel capricious Oh but your lips they could muddle me up and that much is true Your morning glory’s gonna make me shiver deep deep inside me Ho but your lips they could muddle me up and that much is true You’ve already touched my shoulder Please don’t sharpen your claws on me And I don’t really trust in you Cos the whispered dawn is my only doom cluttering up my sleeping time So yeah I like it when you say Nothing is going wrong And I feel capricious

Tú siempre dices nunca más Tu mano es como una mariposa Acariciando sin mentir Las lágrimas de caramelo Por la mañana peligrosa Pasa ya con despedidas No desnudes tu cariño En las luces que te miran Tú sólo dices nada más Con dos palabras doraditas No soples velas al cumplir Deseos de sueños pintados

Hysteria 67 02:51
News emerge on blue-lined paper from a shy boy He might puncture any mirror full of power He sits in the corner of my highway And the wind tricles down my body I’ve seen him kissing this cheerful game Seems to be painting words in purple On slow motion attitude he wants it louder He might puncture any mirror full of power
9.
You’ve done me good And you’ve been filling up my mood Upsetting snap Hey that’s ok So what’s the point on bending heads looking down Upsetting snap Hey that’s ok Do you do you do you love... you baby? The blue jean’s boy it’s him I do listen to Now you’ve gone away

Guéthary 02:16
Jái caressé des idées qui me font peur Toi tu sais quand Jái fait semblant de lire prés de toi Sur ton sofa

That Jazz! 04:07
I don’t know your name I know you don’t care I colour nobody’s door I chalk up letters and draw I cannot feel mesmerized Flash in the night Maybe givin’up all that jazz Through your city dim light I feel like I wanna feel Out of sight I don’t know your name But I don´t even care In the starful ocean I dive When the burning vision looks wild I cannot feel mesmerized Flash in the night Maybe givin’up all that jazz Kiss me kiss me kiss me goodbye I feel like I wanna feel Out of sight Cocktails aftershow Clumsy talk and style Fanciful low-mass and people chewing gums

about

We had to wait longer than we wanted, but here we have at least the fantastic new album by SPRING, a magnificent collection of songs equally delightful for the sight and the hearing. The sight, of course, because their usual designer has done a great job again, elegant and perfectly adapted to the smart image and the universe of the band. And hearing, obviously, because on “The Last Goodbye” (the song by Andy Williams is only the first reference on a long list where admiration, influence and friendship are mixed up) the band from Paris has joined the best virtues from all their previous records to shape their most complete record to this date, announcing a new stage full of great achievements and unforgettable moments.

Now the French scene is receiving a well-deserved attention from both the media and the public, it’s good to remember that it was SPRING who paved the way for all this to happen, making us all turn our looks to their country.

With good taste, charme and constant work, SPRING have reached an enviable cult status which is getting closer to become massive: Spain and France are their natural territories, and the rest of Europe is slowly falling under their spell, gracias a la edición de sus discos en el selecto sello alemán Bungalow; in England they have such famous fans as STEREOLAB, MOOSE or ST ETIENNE, and have been interviewed by the Melody Maker and other trend-setting media; Japan fell for them a long time ago, and the fever has just started in the USA with the inclusion of their songs in movie soundtracks and compilations, and with the big interest of some important companies on the band. The excellent video done for the song “Chuck It Up!” (taken from their previous mini-CD “Out Of Time”, along with DJ Pez) can be seen in stations all over Europe, Japan and the USA, and the new live line-up turns their shows into really groovy, stylish parties.

“The Last Goodbye” mixes up glass-smashing pop and bossanova, acoustic guitars and moogs, hispanic atmospheres and smokey jazz from the Parisian cafes, STEREOLAB’s elegance and ST ETIENNE’s hedonism. Numerous collaborations feature Javier Corcobado (the most renown and admired Spanish crooner), Lincoln Fong (THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN, COCTEAU TWINS...), Joan Vich (ex-THE FRANKENBOOTIES, PATRULLERO MANCUSO), Juan Monje (YOGUR, PATRULLERO MANCUSO), Xavi Suárez (LA BUSQUEDA)... polishing and enriching the band’s sound, in a clear example of their concept of pop: a philosophy of life which includes both the music itself and the long chats about records, movies or travels around a table with some empty bottles of Rioja 73. SPRING teach us how to enjoy life, and they even give us the best soundtrack for it.
