June Is as Cold as DecemberThe Everly Brothers

The Everly Brothers were a duo of brothers, Don and Phil Everly, who were active in the early 1960s.
Their exquisite harmonies, created by their two voices, are especially striking.
This song is about an attractive, love-shy girl who was wounded in June.
You can sense how deeply she was hurt—so much so that a wounded June feels as cold as December.
ProceedThe Roots

The Roots are highly acclaimed in the 1990s American hip-hop scene for their originality and innovation.
Their sound, which skillfully weaves in elements of jazz, made a major impact on the music landscape of the time.
“Proceed,” included on the album Do You Want More?!!!??! released in January 1995, can be considered one of the standout tracks that distills their musical identity.
Lyrically, it conveys a positive message, and its themes of self-expression and growth reflect a strong determination toward artistic progress—an impressive aspect.
It’s a track that feels perfect for June, a rainy season, and one you’ll want to sit with and listen to closely.
JuneTigers Jaw

Featuring Brianna Collins as the sole female member on vocals and keyboards, this band enjoys immense popularity among American indie rock fans.
Released in 2017, this track appears on their fifth studio album, SPIN, which reached No.
13 on the Billboard album charts.
Centered on a wistful, nostalgic melody, their straightforward guitar rock irresistibly captures the hearts of indie rock lovers.
Under the gloomy, rainy June skies, put on this song and let it lift your spirits with a refreshing vibe!
Rain DogsTom Waits

A song from American singer-songwriter Tom Waits’s eighth album, Rain Dogs, released in 1985.
This album was selected by Rolling Stone magazine as one of the “100 Greatest Albums of the 1980s.”
With YouTyler Shaw

Tyler Shaw is a Canadian actor and singer.
After winning the Canadian music competition show ‘MuchMusic Coca-Cola Covers Contest 2012,’ he made his debut that same year with the single ‘Kiss Goodnight,’ proving himself a talented artist.
His 2018 single ‘With You,’ rearranged as a wedding-version music video titled ‘With You (Wedding Version),’ is the perfect number for June.
It’s a moderately pop yet calm ballad, so if you’re planning a June wedding, this track would be a great choice to play at the ceremony!
Rainy Day WomanWaylon Jennings

This is a song produced by American country music artist Waylon Jennings and released in 1974.
It reached No.
2 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart.
He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2001, but passed away the following year, in 2002.
Surfin’ U.S.A.The Beach Boys
The Beach Boys were a legendary rock band based in California, USA.
Their signature song from the 1963 album Surfin’ U.S.A.
is said to have sparked a surfing boom among young people.
Beyond the refreshing sound and harmonies, the lyrics—introducing surf spots all across America one after another—fill listeners with excitement.
It’s a perfect track for June’s rainy season, sure to blow away the muggy mood.
I recommend listening while cruising along the coast on a drive.
Just like the lyric says, it’ll make you feel like you “can’t wait till June,” guaranteed!
