JuneBriston Maroney

A track marked by warm acoustic guitar and emotionally rich vocals.

It’s a song by Knoxville, Tennessee–born singer-songwriter Briston Maroney, included on his 2017 EP “Big Shot.” Centered on the pursuit of dreams and desires and the disappointment that can accompany them, it reflects Maroney’s own introspection.

The lyrics suggest partnerships that support us through life’s ups and downs, as well as an endless quest for understanding and fulfillment.

The title “June,” symbolizing change and new beginnings, is also rich with implication.

Portraying life’s unexpected turns, this song is a perfect fit for the ever-changing month of June.

June is the most pleasant season of the year in Europe, but listening to this song conveys the passion of Havana, Cuba—her cultural roots—and brings out the cheerful vibe unique to Latin music.

It beautifully captures the feelings of a woman who has recovered from heartbreak and is looking forward to new love, making it a perfect tune to enjoy in the fresh June breeze.

Canadian pop singer Justin Bieber.

The song he collaborated on with American country artist Dan + Shay is “10,000 Hours.” The biggest appeal of this track is the vocals, where their gentle voices intertwine beautifully.

The lyrics open with a witty line: “Do you love the rain enough to make you want to dance?” That alone makes it perfect for June, but the chorus—“I’d spend 10,000 hours to know you, and even more if that’s what it takes”—evokes June bride imagery and makes the month feel even more lovely.

Demi Lovato’s popular song “Lonely” is included on her sixth album, “Tell Me You Love Me,” released in September 2017.

Featuring Lil Wayne as a guest, the track portrays the pain of heartbreak and the feeling of loneliness.

Powerful vocals blend with rap, resulting in a deeply moving piece that stirs listeners’ emotions.

June’s rainy season can feel gloomy, but this song might cleanse a heart wounded by love.

It’s a track I highly recommend both to those who’ve experienced heartbreak and to those about to begin a new romance.
