June Comes Around Every Year (from “Out of This World”, 1945)

“June Comes Every Year” As the title suggests, this song is themed around June, and his adult, sultry, wistful voice gently melts into the gray sky peeking through the window.

It’s a very sweet piece of jazz.

With its laid-back tempo and mellow vibe, it’s the kind of track you’ll want to listen to while taking it easy indoors.

On rainy days, spending a cozy day inside might not be a bad idea at all!

It has a simple, straightforward charm that modernizes classic country in a lovely way.

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.
