Jim Jagger’s poignant and touching piece of stripped back folk music shows its listeners the purity of simplicity and eloquence above all else. Very modestly composed and arranged, Jagger’s really at his best here while delivering catchy and endearing acoustic melodies alongside a heartfelt vocal performance that’s anchored on a captivating narrative. ‘Memories of Spring’ is about a woman who has it all going for, with seemingly nothing holding her back to realise who she really is. However, for whatever reason, she finds herself lacking confidence and going through some tough times. The song becomes an anchor, a beacon to remind you of all the good moments and things to be grateful for during times of adverse hardship.
So weather the storm through holding on dearly to memories of spring. Folk music at its sincerest best.
