Give this Cinematic Indie Folk video a thumbs up if you think we should create a Volume 2! Spotify: tinyurl.com/tp46cu66 | Tracklist & song meaning: 0:10 SYML, Hayden Calnin - Tragic Magic - Dream Version A stunning new take on Tragic Magic from SYML's album The Day My Father Died. 3:12 Cartwright - Into The Wild Cartwright found an old fishing lodge that his late father used to visit and had once been owned by his long lost uncle Jack Cartwright. Taking refuge there, he discovered a new branch of his family and a new musical direction. "Into The Wild" encompasses all that he found on his deep rooted journey, taking inspiration from the eponymous book and film 5:59 sød ven - comatose The ambient, ethereal soundscape explores the impermanence of our existence. 9:30 Laura Lucas - Wake Up, Breathe In This song is about learning to embrace endings as beginnings. The lyrical sentiment of finding freedom in a fresh perspective is sonically mirrored by Laura’s delicate vocals floating above a wistful guitar. While it can be hard to see past the disappointment when a relationship ends, every relationship is a chance to learn and grow, Laura says. Recognising the positive things you take away from the experience can be so helpful in moving forward. Co-written with Harrison Storm and produced by Dustin Tebbutt, the dreamy indie folk-pop track is the first single from Laura’s sophomore EP The Dreamer. 12:43 Lowswimmer & S. Carey - In Five (feat. S.Carey) This song is about the demise of a partnership and the tenuous acceptance that each party might be better off on their own. 17:02 Hanging Valleys - Fortaleza This song is about hope and fortitude. A message to one's self to weather the storms that come your way. 21:52 Firewoodisland - Who Knew This song is about meeting a person that completely captivates your whole being, takes you on a journey and changes your world views for the better. 25:33 Thomas LaVine - Crumble This song is about entering a phase of life that feels unstable, and the result makes you long for the simpler, younger days once known. 29:27 Ollie Dixon - Reverie I realised, time waits for no man. in this weird headspace where time was standing still.. there was this period of nothingness. time felt like an illusion. Reverie is me realising that I took time for granted.. lost in my own thoughts. 33:56 Umair Ali, Zoha Zuberi - Take Your Turn is about heartbreak and finding yourself after being displaced. 37:57 Morten Juul - Cracked This song is about a time with heartaches, a stressful mind, dreams falling apart and the fear of an unfulfilled youth. 43:07 Jacob Cook, The Patch - Gone This collaborative song is a thought-provoking anthem about accepting oneself and living life authentically. It speaks to those who've struggled with their identity, feeling lost and disconnected while trying to fit into a mold that doesn't quite fit. It's a reminder that we all have a unique journey, and that it's okay to take the time to figure out who we are. 46:58 Richard Walters - Move On This is a song of apology and acceptance of the artist’s flaws and inability to sit with negativity too long. In arguments or heated moments I’m the person that loses my cool and then the moment passes, the grievance dilutes and I’m able to gather myself Walters explains. 49:55 Hayden Calnin - Warm with You This song is about escapism. It’s an expression of wanting to run and get away from everything, live off of the land if you will and start a life with someone. But as life goes on, things change and those dreams start to take a turn and sometimes it never really happens. 54:02 Jacob Weil - First Light This song is about redefining yourself after being put in one box your entire life; about picking up the pieces after a fallout and figuring out who you are apart from what others see on the surface; a song about finding yourself. 57:37 Dave Thomas Junior - Promises Dave expresses the concept of what makes a promise a real thing and what would the material form of it be. Expanding on this he says, what would the world look like if we could see it as it really is? Would a promise be a beam of light or a force holding things together? Or would it be an atom floating around in space for billions of years? 1:00:11 Me, Living - Into the Wild This song is about being consumed by a relationship in the modern world and the desire to run away back to nature. 1:03:23 Austin Koukal - Hold Hold is about realizing you have been sleepwalking through life and you don’t want to feel numb. So you start trying to do anything to feel something again. 1:06:54 Days of August - Sundance Kid This song is about the story of The Sundance Kid, an outlaw from the American Old West. 1:10:31 Cedars of Lebanon - City This song is about living in a big city, It could be Paris, NY, LA, Shanghai. The inevitable eco-bio entanglement. The irony of being in a place so packed with people, yet, somehow, feeling so lonely. 1:15:16 Nothing Ends - Dream About Me This song is about the feeling of uncertainty that you feel when you fall in love with someone, not knowing if your feeling is reciprocated by the beloved one. 1:19:05 Jacob Cook - Halcyon This song is denoting a period of time in the past that was idyllically happy and peaceful. 1:22:43 Lucas Fournier - b-side This song is about feeling stuck in a loop of loss and change and struggling to break out of it. 1:26:20 Chimes in the Sky - Solder This song is about a feeling of absence and of heartfelt loss. It tries to express the sense of heaviness in the aftermath of something that, though imperfect, is felt deeply by its absence. 1:30:00 Daley Road - All I Ever Wanted This song marries the ebbs and flows of loss and love...we were interested in creating a mood rather than painting a story. Like a warm blanket on a rainy day, we set out to nourish the soul following our maxim create what you wish to experience.
