February Wind, Stephen Speaks.

FEBRUARY WIND by Stephen Speaks

Flyin' a kite again in the February wind
I can almost see you beside me
like it was back then.



Thanks John but I can’t find an on-line performance ???

Can you suggest any songs associated with the month of February? That is : (A) Any songs with February in the title (B) Any songs with a February date given in the lyrics (C) Any songs referencing an event that is known to have occurred in February even if the lyrics do not actually say so.
It would be very helpful to have links to performances of the songs and also more sources of information about them.

Directly below is an alphabetical index of the titles collected in this thread. If a title in this index is blue then by clicking it you should be jumped to the section of the thread in which most of the discussion and links for that title occur. If you just want to add a new post to this thread use one of the the “post” buttons to jump to the end of the thread. I shall sometimes rearrange “late” posts to group them with their appropriate main area of discussion so that they are not overlooked.
When I add to someone’s post I make this clear by doing so beneath an orange lone like those above and below .

Regards, GeoffLawes

The OAKHAM POACHERS

Thanks to Mudcatter JHW who suggested this song on another Mudcat thread, “Any January Songs?”, but in this song, with closely similar lyrics, it tells us that events happened in February

It was on last February,
Against our laws contrary,
Three brothers being wet and weary
Off a-poaching they would go.

MUDCAT Origins: Bold Princess Royal (Song) /mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=137861&messages=22#top


The Bold Princess Royal

On the fourteenth of February we sailed from the land
In the bold Princess Royal bound for Newfoundland.
With forty brave seamen for our ship's company
And so boldly from the eastward to the westward bore we.

Now, we had not been sailing scarce days two or three,
When the man from our masthead strange sails he did see.
She came bearing down on us for to see what we were
And under her mizzen black colours she wore.

“Good Lord!” cried our captain, “What shall us do now?
Here comes a bold pirate for to rob us, I know.”
“Oh no!” cried our chief mate, “Oh, it ne'er shall be so.
We will shake out our reef, boys, and from her we'll go.”

So at last this bold pirate, she hove alongside,
With a loud-speaking trumpet, “Whence come you?” she cried,
Our captain standing up, my boys, and he answered them so:
“Oh, we come from fair London; we're bound for Cairo.”

“So come heave up your course sails and lay your ship to,
I have a long letter to send home by you.”
“I will heave up my course sail and lay my ship to,
She will lay in some harbour, not alongside of you.”

So we hove our course sail, our stay sails too,
Top gallant sail royal, boys, from her we flew.
They chased us to windward for all that long day,
They chased us to windward but could make no way.

They fired shots after us but none did prevail
And the bold Princess Royal soon show them her tail.

“So thank God!” cried our captain, “Now the firing is done.
Go you down to your grog, my boys, go you down, everyone.
Go you down to your grog, my boys, and be of good cheer,
For while we have sea-room, brave boys, never fear.”

Ned Adams “The Bold Princess Royal” https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J_FAMW2Il4U


FEBRUARY

Joan Baez   
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gc_TBPEDHxI

I threw your keys in the water, I looked back
They'd frozen half way down in the ice
They froze up so quickly, the keys and their owners
Even after the anger, it all turned silent and
The everyday turned solitary
So we came to February

First we forgot where we'd planted those bulbs last year
Then we forgot that we'd planted at all
Then we forgot what plants are altogether
And I blamed you for my freezing and forgetting and
The nights were long and cold and scary
Can we live through February?

You know I think Christmas was a long red glare Shot up like a warning, we gave presents without cards And then the snow
And then the snow came, we were always out shoveling
And we'd drop to sleep exhausted
Then we'd wake up, and it's snowing

And February was so long that it lasted into March
And found us walking a path alone together
You stopped and pointed and you said, "That's a crocus"
And I said "What's a crocus?" and you said "It's a flower"
I tried to remember but I said "What's a flower?"
You said "I still love you"

The leaves were turning as we drove to the hardware store
My new lover made me keys to the house
And when we got home, well we just started chopping wood
Because you never know how the next will be
And we'll gather all our arms can carry
I have lost to February
