Twelve Songs in Twelve Months

I thought it would be interesting to do a short piece on songs that incorporate months into their titles, whether or not they're truly about those months at all. For example, March and May are both about subjects other than the months themselves (March is about the act of marching, while May is about a woman). I also wanted to keep each artist to one showing, but I failed with Counting Crows, because I couldn't overlook "A Long December" and had trouble finding a good August song.

"January Wedding" by The Avett Brothers

"February Song" by Josh Groban

"Marchin' On" by OneRepublic

"April in Paris" performed by Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong

"Maggie May" by Rod Stewart

"June Hymn" by The Decemberists

"1000 Julys" by Third Eye Blind

"August and Everything After" by Counting Crows

"September" by Ryan Adams

"October" by U2

"Come November" by Thriving Ivory

"A Long December" by Counting Crows


Honorable Mentions:

The Avett Brothers could have also gotten credit for "November Blue" and "Denouncing November Blue (Uneasy Writer)". November was a tough month all around, with "November" by Trampled by Turtles also receiving recognition for being one of my favorite bluegrassy songs.

The Avett Brothers are big on using months in their songs--I also considered including "Sixteen in July".

I also wanted to note several artists I've listened to over the years with months in their names: Making April, Until June, Blue October, The Early November, and of course The Decemberists (who received credit for "June Hymn" but also could have gotten in with "July, July!" There are undoubtedly more artists that fit the criteria, but I only wanted to include those I'm most familiar with, and this isn't meant to be comprehensive.
