4 Birth Months Who Keep Their Memories in Songs
A familiar song can bring back the person you used to hear it with or the room where it always played. Sometimes you remember an ordinary moment you hadn’t thought about in years. If you were born in one of these four months, you might recognize yourself in the way those memories return.
June
June, a song can make you miss the ordinary time you once spent with someone. Maybe it played during a commute you shared with a friend, in between conversations about what the day might bring.
You remember the comfort of having someone to tell things to before the day had properly started, including things too unimportant to save for a phone call. Hearing the song again brings back how easy it was to know the little things happening in each other’s lives.
When a routine ends, that kind of closeness can be difficult to keep. The song lets you enjoy a little of it again, even if you also miss being that familiar with them.
December
December, music may bring back the feeling of being welcome somewhere away from home. A song you heard while staying with a friend can remind you of their kitchen, the cups waiting by the kettle, and the pleasure of being included in their morning.
Small moments like that can become part of what you love about a place. You had time to sit while your friend made tea, hear about their plans, and join in with the ordinary life going on around you.
Years later, hearing the song can make you fond of that visit again. You remember how comfortable you felt there, and how someone made room for you in a day that might otherwise have been unremarkable.
October
October, a song from a gathering might bring back the part of the evening that happened after most people went home. Picture the table with glasses still scattered across it and a friend gathering the plates while you carry on talking.
There’s an ease to sharing those last few tasks with someone whose company you enjoy. The conversation doesn’t need an occasion anymore. You can finish the story you were telling while they wash up, then join in when the chorus comes around again.
That extra half hour may become your favorite part of the dinner. Hearing the song later reminds you how good it felt to have company even after the evening’s plans were over.
May
May, perhaps you’ve played the same album while getting ready for years. You know when the drums will come in, which track gives you just enough time to find your keys, where you used to pause it as you pulled the door shut.
When your routine changes, those songs can make the difference noticeable. Hearing the album on a slower morning, you might reach a track you rarely got to finish before leaving. You remember how much of the music once belonged to the hurry of getting out the door.
The familiar early tracks still bring back those mornings, while the rest of the album has time to play. Gradually, it can become familiar in this part of your life, too. One day, a song near the end may remind you of the mornings when you finally got to hear it.
