#08 Modern Dance – David Bowie
Since watching ‘Frances Ha’, this has been the first song on my “boute-en-train” playlist. “Boute-en-train” is a French term that can be best translated as “life of the party” – what better way to get into the spring spirit?#09 Champion Sound – Crystal Fighters
Just one look at the video for this London band’s hit will inspire you to frolic through nature with a feather headdress and embrace spring in all its glory #hippyvibes. And, of course, because spring is our champion.

#17 Stay Alive – José González
Our photographer, Cris, put this song on as we were driving this weekend and we immediately began talking about spring and how much we missed it.#16 Intentions – The Whitest Boy Alive
In 2010 I was jogging through London to this music, which is why it always reminds me of blooming white trees and sunshine in the English capital. It’s a bit older, but still wonderful!

#05 Pascualita – The Derevolutions
I recently discovered this band from Boston, which always puts me in a good mood. You can download a lot of their songs for free from their Soundcloud page.#06 Laura Palmer (RAC Remix) – Bastille
A little bit older, but I could listen to this on repeat every spring and will never get enough of it.#18 (What A) Wonderful World – Sam Cooke
My mother would always play a Sam Cooke record every year when it came time for spring cleaning. For me, it acts as mental preparation for the task at hand – hopefully making it easier when it comes time to do the work!
