Richard Rodgers two great songs about "SPRING." Spring is here is a somewhat sombre reflection that although Spring is here but" Nobody Loves Me." These lyrics reflect the unhappy and unsuccessful love life of lyricist Lorenz Hart. He even later wrote the song " Nobody's Heart (belongs to me) The melody is quite plaintive, especially when one just hears it only as an instrumental, wihout those sorrowful words.Frank Sinatra aptly conveys the sad lament inherent in Lorenz Hart's lyrics.
" It Might As Well Be Spring, whose poetic lyrics were by that "cockeyed optimist" Oscar Hammerstein. A happily married family man and mentor of Stephan Sondheim. He exclaims that " I'm As Busy As a Spider spinning day dreams. I'm as jumpy as a puppet on a string, I'd say that I had Spring fever, but it isn't even Spring." Doris Day's sunny persona is very suited to Hammerstein's hopeful lyrics which refer to Spring Fever as the cause for her restlessness, waiting for something to happen in her life.
These two very different word smiths both benefit from the spendid melodic gifts of Richard Rodgers.
