The first season of the year is the last to be covered on Amazing Songs & Other Delights since the show started in late May 2021. Obviosuly, it is called the Spring edition. The songs either are Sping song, in the sense Spring is part of the title or lyrics, or have a Spring feeling to it. Amazing Songs & Other Delights #23 – The Spring edition include Blue Moon Rose by Everything But The Girl, Is This Love by Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, April Come She Will Simon & Garfunkel and a less usual cover o Antônio Carlos Jobim’s Águas de Março – see tracklist.
