Album: ffm.to/apr24 | Listen on Spotify: spoti.fi/2V3CIPU Tracklist & song meaning in this comment 0:10 Garrett Kato, Billianne - Easy Love is possibly the most complex part of our lives and it takes a lot of nurturing to keep it alive and well. This track was inspired by the strange habits we have about love and how if it’s not taken care of it can wither away like a flower in a desert. 2:48 Alexander Grandjean - Babylon This song is about love and decay: It talks about human destruction of the planet. About closing our eyes and wishing ourselves back where we belong, where gardens hang like Babylon. 6:26 Tobias Arbo - Recover This song is about opening up again after having been closed off for a long time. It's narrated from an 'angel on the shoulder perspective', trying to break oneself free from the invisible self-criticism we so easily amp up over time. ✨ Our most trending IFC videos right now: Acoustic Chill Vol 2: https://youtu.be/cAs02QPZyc4 Top 100 Indie Folk: https://youtu.be/5wiykPlwWIo Best Indie Folk of 2023: https://youtu.be/rfYOdl5CAFo 8:59 OSKA - Like A Song In OSKA's words, 'like a song' is about a feeling of clarity after experiencing turbulence and discomfort. In the song I‘m describing feeling safe, sure and light again in what feels like forever - light as a feather, as a child, just like a song. 12:24 Ben Reneer, Eric Michael Robertson - Trophies This song is about seeing an ex at a concert. But not just seeing her there alone — she was with another dude. It was a moment in which my ego reigned supreme. Tried to loosen my fingers and let my ego die. 16:13 Red Langur - Slowly The song gracefully weaves together themes of dreams, raindrops, and burning flames, enveloping audiences in a sense of introspection and longing. 19:03 Emily Anderson - 30th Birthday This song is about milestones and how they can look a little different than we imagined. 🔥 Previously: New Indie Folk: March 2024 https://youtu.be/gJt0HcM9-Nw 22:51 Felipe Baldomir - Tides This song is love song I wrote about the ocean and how important it has been in my everyday life. This song captures the essence of the whole album. 25:50 Sunriver - It's All Here This song is about being able to enjoy the beauty of life and living in the moment. All that we need is right in front of our eyes we just have to learn how to slow down our life and appreciate the world around us. 29:00 Lexie Carroll - evelyn This song is about seeing someone going down a rocky path and trying to get them to come back. The song is a really desperate attempt to get them to stop running and see that things don’t have to be so bad where they are 32:48 Sylvia Lily, Calm Canopy - Flow This song is about two heartbroken lovers separately dreaming of reconnecting with each other after some time apart. The song is based on a chapter from Sylvia Lily's mystery/drama novel, Evergreen Peaks. 35:51 Northwest Stories - All That I've Been Through This song is about learning to be grateful for the good and the bad times in your life. 🎧 New Indie Folk on Spotify: spoti.fi/2V3CIPU 38:53 Lapwing - Luskentyre This song is about hope, love and kite-building set on the breathtaking beach on the Isle of Harris. Part of the album 'Thin Places', that explores the human longing for transcendence and the enduring power of the Scottish landscape to stir the soul. 43:15 Our Atlantic Roots - I Do There are a lot of break-up songs out there … this is a ‘make up’ song! Ultimately, the song is about commitment in a relationship and choosing to love each other when it's easy and when it's hard! 48:02 Emory Duncan - Gone To Seed This song is about the recurring patterns in our lives, and recognizing which ones are curing us and which ones are hurting us. It's about the cycles we endure, the ups and downs, and their interconnectedness with the rhythms of the natural world. 52:04 Ariel Bold - Underbelly This song is about getting too inside your head and feeling insecure. The feeling of being a work in progress, and the darkness that can come from that. 54:30 Lucie Glang - Seagull This song is about the ocean’s changing weather, seemingly mirroring human relationships – calm before the storm, silent after. I imagined what a seagull, witnessing everything unfolding from above, could tell me. 57:45 Sobi - Beloved Child This song is about recognizing that no matter what we think of ourselves or how the world judges and labels us, we can choose to define ourselves as beloved children. I think if we all did that, the world would be a better place. 1:00:41 Lucy Clearwater - When You're Down This song is about unconditional platonic love. It challenges toxic positivity and expresses love and acceptance of a close friend in all their moods and shades. 1:03:35 Beau Askew - Closer to You This song is about the value of fostering relationships. It's important for us to learn from one another. Our differences can bring us together and make us better people. We should embrace this challenge and strive towards unity. ❤ Follow Indie Folk Central: www.instagram.com/indiefolkcentral www.patreon.com/indiefolkcentral 1:08:37 RHAYN - I Think Too Much This song is about not taking yourself too seriously. I like to think of it as a silly dance with all the voices in your head. 1:11:56 Alexander Grandjean - Honey In The Waves Alexander was in L.A. when his partner called from the hospital in Denmark and told him she’d had a miscarriage, and she was going into surgery to have it removed. He booked a ticked home and went to sit on the beach to write this song about trying to find the beauty in the darkness; the Honey in the Waves. 1:16:11 Emma Freeman - Proper Words This song is about the tension of being so close to someone you love, but not knowing if they feel the same way, and not knowing how to find the right words to tell them. 1:20:09 Luigi Ramon - Be Ourselves This song is about a person who feels trapped, trapped by their feelings, trapped by other people and at the same time feels alone because they can't be who they really are. 1:23:31 Martin Kerr - You're Amazing - Mellow Version You're Amazing (Mellow Version) is a reimagining of a fan favourite and live staple for Kerr. The slowed tempo and new instrumentation highlight the song's sweet lyrics and relatable story. 1:27:03 Sam Weber - Hey Hey Like other tunes of mine I feel like I’ve channelled over the years, seems like an articulation and realization of the concept that the truth always rises to the surface. How it reflects in my own life continues to change as time goes on. Love from The Netherland
