Songs to Get You Through June

“I wonder what it would be like to live in a world where it was always June.” – L.M. Montgomery

June is a funny month. In fact, I don’t think I’ve every stumbled across a June without thinking, “it’s already June?” October and July will always be my favorite months, but June’s up there somewhere; like the friend you don’t really mind seeing, but you won’t go out of your way to get together.

Anyways, I thought I would share ten songs I’ve been enjoying recently, you know, to start your month off fresh. A lot of the songs are quite romantic and poetic, which may lead you to believe I’m in love. As far as I know, I’m not, but it’s summer so I wouldn’t rule falling in love out. Enjoy.
