Good song to start to the video: no kissing on Sunday by Dotan

If you could pick one of these songs to hear as an instrumental version (no vocals), which one would it be? And why? 👇

Here’s the final volume of our Best Indie Folk of 2024 collection. Which is your favorite? All four are added to this playlist: bit.ly/4jbpUxo Also out on Album: best-indie-folk-of-2024.sbmt.to *Song Meaning & Tracklist* ✨ 0:00 Dotan - No Kissing on a Sunday This song is for anyone who knows what it feels like to hate the way you love. For those people that don't feel accepted. 2:41 Billy Raffoul & Amistat - What Lovers Do It’s a simple love song rooted in folk harmonies and instrumentation. 4:45 Mon Rovîa - Winter Wash 24 The song is inspired by the International Rescue Committee (IRC)’s work in serving people affected by conflict, the climate crisis and economic hardship. It's about the cognitive dissonance we feel in the west; witnessing the horrors on our phones, stuck feeling helpless in any of our efforts. 8:20 Luna Keller - Swallow The Sea This song is about the shame one feels when struggling with depression. It changes the way you see the world and there's this fear to be perceived differently if people knew what you're going through. So you push through, and swallow the sea. 10:57 The McCredie Brothers - I'll Be There This song was written about the night Dave told Pete that his long term partner was cheating on him. Pete told Dave that 'I'll Be There' no matter what.. and that is how the song was birthed. 13:37 Hazlett - The First Train Home There’s something sad about knowing you’ll never see yourself the way someone special sees you, but there’s also something poetic in wanting to try. This song is about that. How there’s a push and pull, conflict and a calm, when you see magic in each other but not always yourself. 17:05 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. 20:54 Hollow Coves - Let's Go This song is about living life to the full. 22:53 James Vincent McMorrow - Sunburn 25:15 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. 29:38 Ryan Harris - This Dream 32:27 Oliver Hazard - Wild Eyed Blue I was sleeping outside 270 days of the year, living a simpler lifestyle, Oliver Hazard’s Mike Belazis reflects, referring to his previous job as an adventure guide in California. There’s so many people who don’t have a house over them. But my ability to sit under El Capitan in Yosemite with a peanut-butter-and-jelly sandwich - there was this privilege, this radical freedom to it. 35:45 Hunter Metts - Monochrome This song is about two souls drifting apart and clinging to remnants of what once was. 39:26 Driftwood Choir - Faded Evergreen This song delves into the nostalgia and longing for the childhood love, wonder, and deep connection to nature that many country kids lose as they age and move to cities for work and social engagement. 42:36 Vintz Desert - super nintendo This song is a reflection of the relationship my sister and I had when we were younger. We used to play our super nintendo almost every weekend but life has gotten so tense recently that I find myself longing for those weekends with her. 45:52 Jolé - Back Before You Know It This was written when I was away from my family. I wanted them to know that although we were on opposite sides of the world I was still always thinking of them. 48:32 Garrett Kato, philine - Babe, I'm All Yours - Duet Version This song is about how risky but how worth it it is to trust someone with your heart. 51:47 sød ven - stay 54:48 Timothy Jaromir - Rebound Contrary to what the title of this single might suggest, this song is not about a love affair between two people, but rather about a love affair with oneself. More specifically: The song is about recognising what is good for you. 58:42 The Satellite Station - The Great Unknown This song is a letter to myself to stop putting things off and to start living, taking chances and doing the traveling I always planned to do. 1:01:46 Lewis Watson - september This song is about a rough breakup and how the the other person was able to move on as the season changed whilst i'm still stuck in those dying moments - replaying the painful parts over and over. 1:05:32 Jay Ssandri - Hey Darling This song is about a friend's discontent with their environment and desire for change. It emphasizes life's inconsistencies, compelling us to make quick decisions with fingers crossed. It's about reminding each other that things will fall into place. 1:08:37 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. 1:11:36 Georgia Parker - When She Calls My Name This song is a poignant reflection on longing and nostalgia 1:14:46 Hayden Arp - To Be Lost To Be Found This song is about an experience I had meeting someone on a night out in Vienna. We connected very deeply, very quickly. It felt both disorienting and grounding, as new love is. Thus the lyric: to be lost and to be found in your arms. 1:16:58 Emily Anderson - 30th Birthday This song is about milestones and how they can look a little different than we imagined. 1:20:46 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. 1:24:59 Marti West - If I Call Your Name This song is about wanting to reach out to someone - to give them a chance - but being unsure how they will respond. 1:27:58 Matthew Adam Green - Evangeline 1:31:36 people i like - northern lights This song is about witnessing the awe-inspiring beauty of the sky and life itself 1:34:38 Emory Duncan - Feels Like Fire Feels Like Fire captures the feeling of being at sea, of being carried on the ocean's breath, rising and falling with each inhale and exhale, knowing this as the only constant, and finding peace amidst the storm. 1:38:51 Beta Radio - This One's Going To Hurt This song is about saying yes to pain and walking through suffering because you know it's there to serve you 1:42:48 Brook St - Nothing To Lose This song is about the day we finally became a couple. Jason took me up to our favourite lake on the Sunshine Coast for a 'drawing' trip and ended up asking me out. This song is trying to capture the feeling of wonder and safety in that moment. 1:45:23 Family Stereo - Early Promise This song is about being everyone. 1:48:23 Michael Lane - Blind This song is about navigating a world veiled in shadows and monotony. It reflects on the unseen beauty within life's symphony, inviting the listener to find solace in the midst of the dimming light. 1:51:36 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. 1:55:33 Ross Newhouse - The Spider Song This song is about wanting to be kinder to yourself, through looking at how gently your partner treats things they're afraid of (like spiders) 1:59:08 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.

Yay to the third volume of our Best Indie Folk of 2024 playlist (Acoustic, Indie, Folk). Part of the Best of 2024 YT playlist: bit.ly/4jbpUxo Out on album: best-indie-folk-of-2024.sbmt.to 🎶 Tracklist & Song Meaning: 0:00 Driftwood Choir - Way Back Home "There is a universal feeling that time moves on without you and your struggles are your own. Still, you're going to find your way back to something peaceful whenever the turmoil you’re going through comes to an end." 3:19 Ocie Elliott - These Days These Days is simply a song about missing someone very dear to you who is no longer in your life. 6:16 Hunter Metts - Weathervane This song is about the positive aspects of an honest love. It's about always making it through whatever life throws at you, and trusting that home doesn't always have to be a physical space, but that home can be a person too. 9:53 SYML - Please Slow Down (Rubber Bridge Version) I say the words ‘please slow down’ to my kids at least once a day, and even though we try to put walls up to keep them safe, they are wild and will eventually experience life on their own terms. The cliche idea of time passing too fast is a familiar one, especially around parenting kids, and this song is as much for me as it is them. 12:33 Harrison Storm - Temporary Friend Temporary Friend speaks to the fleeting moments you have while travelling and meeting those people that you share a unique and specific connection with, only to never see them again. Here Harrison is reflecting on the intense and interesting things you learn about someone’s story, the deep conversations into the early hours of the morning, and the vulnerability that can be revealed from those encounters. 15:33 Ben Morgan - Clockwork This song is about falling into the arms of the universe. It’s an ode to being present and enjoying every moment of the journey rather than focusing on the end goal, as one day the clock will inevitably stop ticking. 19:42 Hazlett - Shiver I think to some extent whatever path we take life has a funny way of taking us to our destination anyway. But that only happens when we’re led by our gut, we have good intentions and we’re not scared to make the wrong choice. Sometimes it is just about choosing a door to open and being irrationally confident that the universe will guide you to where you need to go either way. 23:07 Salt Tree - Take My Hand This song is about sharing life with someone through experiences of adventure and exploring new landscapes. It encourages you to be curious and open minded about what you might find with the person you love. 26:22 Jessie Reid - Your Story This song is about the beauty in telling our stories to complete strangers. 29:53 Rod Coote - Blue Lake This song is about the ever changing nature of life and how nothing is set in stone through the seasons. It was inspired by a road trip through wilderness of North America and a conversation with a life long friend. 32:51 Riley Pearce & Savannah Conley - Human Riley says: I wanted a song that somewhat captures the spiritual change I was going through. It was an indescribable shift or presence that suddenly made my life’s purpose feel more visible or tangible to me. I’ve always felt a bit uneasy in music about how self-focused it has to be at times and this new life that we’d brought into the world (by ‘we’ I mean my extraordinary wife Alex) had created such an incredible energy shift that made me feel more connected to what it meant to be a human in this world. 35:40 Amistat - Goodbye ✨ This playlist on Spotify: spoti.fi/3DOe5gI & album out everywhere: best-indie-folk-of-2024.sbmt.to 38:23 David Lazarus - Leading Different Lives This song is about the bittersweet process of letting someone go. It's about believing you found your person, but on reflection - realising it was the idea of them you were romanticising. In reality, you were both on very different paths in life. 41:16 Chris Lanzon - Lilo This song is about always being there for the people you care about. Even if they’re distant. Even if there’s so much about them that you don’t know, or don’t understand. Even if it hurts, you’ll show up when they need you, no matter what. 42:54 Chan Fuze - Palm This song is about a giving your heart away to someone who won’t see you. There’s a profound sense of loneliness when your love isn’t acknowledged so in turn it burns you. This is the price we pay for love. 48:19 Old Sea Brigade - Polygraph This is a song all about the fear of the unknown and how that can manifest into anxiety. It's about when you take a big step into a new phase in your life when those big changes actually happen, and you suddenly freak out and wonder… ‘was this the right step?’ but you feel bad for even thinking that. ‘Polygraph’ is about riding that out, letting it pass, and is meant to be an antidote to all that, to remind you... you don't have to slow-dance with the next thought you have. 52:36 Mot Furu - lakebed This song is about two friends or partners who are resting at the bottom of a lake. This can symbolize hitting one's rock bottom, or in this case 'lakebed', in life. However, the beauty and consolation come from not having to be alone in that state. 56:14 mid70s - Tire Swing This song is about a magical dream relationship. 58:55 Southey - I Know The Way I wanted to capture the feeling of finding direction in uncertain times. This song is about offering a hand to those who might need it. 1:03:29 Ella Stallion - Permanent Stay This song is about leaving it all to find a ‘Permanent Stay’ in the wild. I know I'll be sleeping on my own, out where the fox and rabbit roam. 1:07:07 Jakob Longfield - Daydreams (with M) This song is about having big dreams while feeling anxious and worried about what might happen to them. 1:10:33 Jordan Hart - Soft Eyes This song is for the people who hold us even when we feel like we don’t deserve it. When it’s difficult to feel normal let alone present, these people remind us that we’re not alone. To know love like that is surely one of the greatest gifts in life. 1:13:14 Caleb Hearn - Get There When I Get There I think a lot of people feel pressured to follow social norms or reach certain milestones by a particular age. But for me it’s much more important to live in the moment and enjoy the process of getting where I want to go. Because if you’re not feeling that joy, then I’m not sure it’s worth it. 1:16:09 Hunter Metts - Don't Fail Me Now This song about a significant other falling short of the expectations - emphasizing the feeling of having to sit with the pain of the relationship rather than feeling nothing at all. 1:18:51 Cody Francis & Ben Reneer - If You Want To This song is about the potential of a relationship to blossom and bloom into something beautiful while still affording the other person the option to turn it down. But that, If they want to, the perspective of the person singing is 100% in to try. 1:22:14 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. 1:25:52 Luna Keller - Lighter Than Before This song is about the joy of feeling like yourself again after overcoming a tough time. The sun feels warmer after a long winter - I wrote it while recovering from depression, it was nice to write a happy song again. 1:29:39 Doris Club - Born Good Find out all about Indie Folk Central here: ifc.sbmt.to 🔔 Subscribe for more music just like this www.youtube.com/@indiefolkcentralMusic?sub_confirmation=1 1:32:09 Cole Scheifele & Raquel Norland - Back to Me This song is about the process of losing someone and the difficult journey of coming to a place of acceptance, but part of you through it all always hopes they will find their way back to you. 1:36:00 June Amiss - None At All This song is about trying to be everything and ending up becoming nothing at all. 1:38:42 Lapwing - Naseby Park This song captures a beautiful moment of connection between a father and son, and the sudden, haunting awareness of the passing of time. 1:41:49 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. 1:44:21 Mark Wilkinson & William Fitzsimmons - Movie Scene - Acoustic Movie scene is written about a relationship between two friends where one person secretly hopes the friendship will develop into something more romantic but lacks the confidence to air those feelings. Instead of confessing his true feelings, the friend resigns himself to playing out fictional scenarios (Movie Scenes) in his head to avoid the risk of rejection. 1:47:36 Virens - apocalypse This song is about the beginnings of a love story amid the chaos of an apocalypse, finding joy in our ordinary lives, despite the looming threat of oblivion. 1:50:26 Wild Rivers - Simp Song 1:53:27 Connor Stephen - Mr Know It All This song is about overcoming relational torment and insecurities through admittance and forgiveness. Though vulnerability is difficult, it is a promising way to acquire deep healing and understanding - with others and, ultimately, ourselves. 1:57:31 Rose Betts - War ❤ Want to support our indie folk label? Join us on Patreon: www.patreon.com/indiefolkcentral 2:00:01 Matheo Techer - 8 o'clock This song is about the future, that often appears out of reach, out of control: truth is you can never have total control over something, someone or even yourself and that can feel scary. It will be on an upcoming EP, released in May. With love from The Netherlands!
