LISTEN NOW: SiriusXM’s Ultimate Spring Awakening Music Mix
From lyrics about fresh starts to the beauty of nature, we’ve compiled a list of the perfect tunes to add to your springtime playlist. So sit back, relax, and let these songs transport you to a world of growth, new love, and all things spring.
“Begin Again” — Taylor Swift
The perfect track to usher in this new season, “Begin Again” by Taylor Swift is about, well, beginning again! Spring is the time when the natural world comes alive with renewed energy, and we too can see our lives with a fresh perspective. As Taylor knows well, the highs and lows of love go hand in hand – it’s impossible to get through life without both. Plus, this European fantasy spring music video gives us all the romantic vibes we need. Spring vacation in Paris, anyone?
If Taylor’s got you feeling smitten, head on over to SiriusXM Love (Ch. 708) for love songs from Whitney Houston, The Carpenters, Celine Dion, and many more.
“April Come She Will” — Simon & Garfunkel
These bittersweet lyrics never fail to tug on our heartstrings, especially when combined with the angelic voice of Art Garfunkel and Paul Simon’s delicate guitar playing. The passage of time is marked by changing seasons, and in the case of this song, by a lover who arrives and then moves on again. “April Come She Will” reminds us that everything in life is temporary, but that doesn’t mean we can’t appreciate it while it lasts. It’s truly a timeless classic, no matter the time of year!
For even more Simon & Garfunkel, cross The Bridge (Ch. 17) to the mellow side of classic rock and ’70s folk rock.
“After the Storm” — Kali Uchis feat. Tyler, The Creator and Bootsy Collins
After dark and stormy winter nights, we all need a positive message to take us into this new season of light and joy. That’s where Kali Uchis comes in, “‘Cause after the storm’s when the flowers bloom!” The irresistible groove of this track, coupled with the vibrant floral imagery of its music video, transports us to a world bursting with springtime vibes, and we just can’t get enough. For your healthy dose of good vibrations, dive into this quirky song and enjoy the ride!

“Spring Vacation” — The Beach Boys
It’s hard not to feel good when you wake up to sunshine streaming through your bedroom windows, and that’s how it feels to listen to The Beach Boys!
