You Can Never Hold Back Spring

I recently reconnected with a great friend.  We met in high school and became inseparable during our college years.  When I think about the crucial moments of my life, she was there.  As happens in life, we lost touch over a few years.  But the magic of the internet recently brought us back together.  And it's amazing how we have fallen back into our friendship.

One of the (many) things I adore about her is her ability to put music together.  Back in the day, we traded mix tapes.  Now we have graduated to CD compilations.  She took a seasonal theme with her latest, inspired by the spring.  I just have to share it. 

So here is the perfect soundtrack to the beginning of the season

1. "If I Ever Feel Better" - Phoenix
2. "Apartment Song" - The National
3. "Spring Provides" - Matt Pond PA
4. "Planting Seeds" - Built to Spill

10. "2 Kool 2 Be 4-Gotten" - Lucinda Williams

12. "I Just Don't Know What To Do With Myself" - The White Stripes
