Taurus (Apr 20 – May 20):
“Blues in a Bottle”
This Ithaca Bottom Boys tune is impossible not to smile and dance to, and I can’t help but think of Grassroots when I hear it, reminding me of sunshine and warmth both inside and out!
Gemini (May 21 – June 20):
“One Sign”
A song by the Sim Redmond Band that beautifully begs for “one sign.” A sign for what? For spring, perhaps.
Cancer (June 21 – Jul 22):
“Buffalo Street”
This Driftwood song builds up just like the anticipation of spring/summer. It’s full of waiting and wondering what will happen until there is a new beginning, one that, in this case, is down on Buffalo Street!
Leo (Jul 23 – Aug 22):
“Build a House and Burn It Down”
A very twangy song by The Horse Flies that is deep and intense, reminding me of a huge rainstorm, one likely to be seen in these next warm and rumbling months.
Virgo (Aug 23 – Sep 22):
“Trampoline”
This song is so bouncy. The Blind Spots’ song adds a lovely little spring in your step while dancing to it.
Libra (Sep 23 – Oct 22):
“What I Need”
This ¡Viva Mayhem! song wishes for some kind of change in the scenery, and in Ithaca, that change is bound to come soon! Leaves on the trees! Flowers in the garden! Rain in the streets!
Scorpio (Oct 23 – Nov 21):
“Winter Biking”
Despite the title, this Ithaca Bottom Boys song makes me think of warmer weather, knowing that the slipping and sliding of slush in the winter months is long gone!
Sagittarius (Nov 22 – Dec 21):
“Winter Biking”
Despite the title, this Ithaca Bottom Boys song makes me think of warmer weather, knowing that the slipping and sliding of slush in the winter months is long gone!
Capricorn (Dec 22 – Jan 19):
“Daydream”
This song by the Fall Creek Brass Band makes me feel like I am laying in a park daydreaming about what’s to come, what could be, and what I someday hope to have.
Aquarius (Jan 20 – Feb 18):
“Before I Rust”
This song by Driftwood is twinkly and makes me think of the long winter passing into something bright and new, entering a time of sun and smooth, cool breezes.
Pisces (Feb 19 – Mar 20):
“New Persona”
Another Blind Spots song! This one preaches adopting a new persona, something that we can all do if we want to in this ever changing world, especially with the start of a new season.
Aries (Mar 21 – Apr 19):
“All I Ever Want”
All we ever seem to want is a change in the season, which is exactly what we’re getting right about now, and this Sim Redmond Band song perfectly embodies that want, that need, that change.
