Printemps noir
"Black Spring" features four songs: "Nothing Natural", a cover of Dennis Wilson's "Lady" (retitled "Fallin' in Love"), "God's Gift" and "Monochrome". Anderson was the primary songwriter of "Black Spring"s material; Anderson solely wrote and composed "Nothing Natural" and "Monochrome", and co-wrote "God's Gift" with Berenyi. As a result of Anderson's increased role in Lush's songwriting, "Black Spring"s songs were "lighter and less punky" than the band's previous releases, but the songs—particularly the lyrics—still maintained the band's "moody dreampop" trademarks.
