Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most

"Spring Can Really Hang You Up the Most" (1955) is a popular song with lyrics by Fran Landesman, set to music by Tommy Wolf.

The title is a jazz rendition of the opening line of T. S. Eliot's The Waste Land, "April is the cruellest month".

[1] The song describes how somebody feels sad and depressed despite all the good things associated with spring.

[2] Tommy Wolf was a pianist, composer, arranger, and musical director who met Fran Landesman while she was sitting in the bar of the Crystal Palace, a night club in St. Louis.

More Landesman–Wolf collaborations followed, including the melodies for the songs for the 1959 Broadway musical The Nervous Set.
