Spring has sprung, and not a moment too soon! Us tough Canucks have survived yet another brutal polar vortex, making the arrival of spring that much more exciting. It’s high time to ditch the winter jackets, chuck the winter boots, dig out your shorts and flip-flops, crank the music and celebrate!
No one is immune to the charms of spring, and year after year composers have managed to capture the glory of the world renewing itself, the blossoming potential of new life and new love, and the overwhelming powers of nature.
And so, without further ado, a playlist that pays homage to Canadians' favourite season. Click through the gallery above to find out a bit about each song and press play on the YouTube playlist below to keep the music going while you read.
