For this reason, your birth month is a window into a specific storyline that at some point was—or still is—very relevant in your life. Read on to discover the soundtrack to your life, based on birth month.

Your Birth Month’s Life Soundtrack, According to Experts
Find the month you were born in to start grooving and jamming.
January — “New Person, Same Old Mistakes” by Tame Impala
Being born in January means there’s a duality to your being. Tradition and habit are necessary for you, which, at times, need to be shattered for your brilliance to come out to play. You’re always reinventing yourself, but at your core, your essence remains the same. Tame Impala’s chill and reflective vibe is a great reminder to embrace yourself just the way you are.
February — “Space Song” by Beach House
If you were born in February, you most likely have a melancholic story of romance, heartbreak, and surrender. A love story that didn’t quite work takes you up into space, that perfect place away from everyone, where you go to heal. But the true liberation comes when, while up there, your mind “falls back into place,” realizing that even though you ended up with a broken heart, you might be willing to fall back in love, again and again.
March — “Lose Yourself to Dance” by Daft Punk
Those born in March are dreamy and intuitive, but that doesn’t mean they don’t like movement—they love action! These busy bees are always on the move, in need to take a moment to stop what they are doing, lose themselves in the wave of sound, and break a delicious sweat in the process. Perhaps this is your cue to get up and dance it all away!

October — “God is a Woman” by Ariana Grande
Beautiful. Witchy. Profound. Those born in October bring an irresistible mix of tact and seduction.
