There’s nothing wrong with being a wreck of a human, and there’s something beautiful about being loved for the wreck you are. 3:19 Seafret - Pictures This song was inspired by images of having a child and how you never want them to grow up. It can also be totally open with moments in life that you just don’t want to end. 6:33 Ocie Elliott - Baby, You Know The chorus arose from an acoustic meddling that was initially built as a refrain for the end of a song. It speaks to the comfort of a relationship that battles wear and tear, and that is built up, filled in, and smoothed out — and remains sturdy in its loving foundation all the while. 9:35 Billianne - Simply The Best This is Billianne's debut song, formerly sang by Noah Reid, originally by Tina Turner. A minimalistic ode to a special person. 12:29 Northwest Stories - With Me This song is about recognizing that God is always there with us in every detail of every second. 14:47 Fiona Harte - Is There Something? This song explores balancing intuition and the fight between your head and heart. 17:31 The Franklin Electric - Lesser of the Worst This song speaks about making choices and sometimes it's the lesser of two evils. 19:56 The Satellite Station - Slow This song is about trying to stay present in a world that is becoming more and more distracting. 23:31 néomí - i'll be there This song is about being there (mentally) for one of your loved ones. Sometimes it is hard to make choices in life. Sometimes you have the feeling that everything comes down to you and that everyone is watching what you’re about to decide. 26:46 Ewan J Phillips - The Art of Letting you Go 30:20 Portair, Emily James - Life We've Built This is a complete celebration of love in its most powerful moments. It’s about being so happy with a person and the life you’ve built together. It could all come apart at some point but for the present moment it means everything to you. 34:08 Garrett Kato - One and Only One and Only from the album Small Town Rituals is a sweet love song that unfolds like most relationships, with expectation and reality colliding into each other with a moment or clarity that you are enough for someone and that is all you need to be for them. 37:50 Hunter Metts - On The Avenue This song is about the place where you fell in love and where it all fell apart. 41:18 Frances Luke Accord, Darlingside - In My Life This song is a reflection on the inevitable ups and downs we all experience during our short spins on this beautiful planet. 44:56 Hayley Reardon - Awake in Berlin This song is about letting go of an old love and an old life while I was halfway across the globe trying to forge a new one. I didn’t play this song for a long time because of how personal it felt, and I cried like a baby when we cut the final vocal. 48:03 The Light the Heat - Morning Light This song is about meeting someone who seemingly arrests your existence and changes your life. 51:34 Francisco Sola - A Dream I Had in My Past Life This song is about a dream I had about my relationship. It’s about the turning point where you realize that it’s meant to be 53:06 Lexie Carroll - the sky looked nice today This song is about feeling the world in all its intensity and finding the strength in myself to navigate it. 56:25 SYML, Sara Watkins - Better Part Of Me For me, there is a sweetness that is appropriate and not saccharin when we think about our ‘other’. Love is certainly a journey full of conflict and challenge, and the best way to become better together is through being honest with ourselves and one another. 1:00:11 Lists - Stow Brae Stow Brae' is Lists dipping his toe back in the water as he finishes work on his first full-length record, due out later this year. 1:02:52 Seánie Bermingham - Call the Coroner This song is about growing anxiety and the loss of self attributed to that. 1:06:24 Wilfred - Lead Me Home 1:09:21 Keyboard Dog - amsterdam This song is about reminding yourself to be present and exist fully and intentionally in the world around you. 1:13:14 Tobias Arbo - Saudade This song is about the feeling of missing something you never had. When the possibility of something coming true is slipping away. And before you even had it, you start to feel like you’ve lost that something. 1:16:13 Ryan Harris - You Were Right You were right is an acoustic cover of RUFÜS most popular song by folk singer Ryan Harris, produced by Tyler Neil Johnson. 1:19:16 Ocie Elliott - My Everything 1:22:30 Harrison Storm, Enna Blake - For a While 1:25:51 Memorial - Fake Moon I was in a rut, just hitting my mid 20s. The pressures of expectation can really drag on young people. 1:28:03 Jessie Reid - Hearts on Fire (Acoustic) This song is about trying to rekindle a lost connection 1:31:41 Ezra Glatt - Pathways I wanted the song to capture the loss of innocence one gets after a romance inevitably falls apart... 1:35:45 Specific Coast - Nothing Hill This song is about learning to live on your own timeline and letting go of the things you cannot control. 1:39:33 The Franklin Electric - Token of Your Purpose A dreamy love song. Speaks about not holding other ppl accountable for our experience of them. Everyone has a dark side and that's super important in the balance of love. We are not super heroes and need to make room for the good and bad or darkness and light. 1:42:32 Tommy Ashby - A Beautiful Day This song is about how memories can change over time. 1:45:22 Tay Oskee - Sequoia' (Lovers On The Mountain) About 5 years ago my wife and I were travelling to her home country Ecuador and on the way, we stayed at Sequoia National Park. It was one of the most beautiful places I have ever been, El Capitan towering above us, with white tipped peaks everywhere and then seeing the biggest trees in the world, made both of us feel so connected and in the moment. It really put everything into perspective. I wrote this song to take me back to those 10 days. 1:49:00 Riley Pearce - Nostalgia This song was born from a camping trip my brother and I took to Jurien Bay, a few hours north of Perth where we used to holiday as kids. 1:52:58 Meadowlark - Goodbye This song is about coming to terms with the lies you told yourself that kept the patterns of pity and non-acceptance going for so many years. 1:56:37 Axel Flóvent - Fireworks (Night Version) 2:00:43 Salt Tree - Hold You Now This song is about meeting someone new not being sure if you will feel the same way as you did in the past about someone. 2:03:34 Reed Pittman - Stay Lost With Me This song is about getting lost in the moment with someone you love, whatever that might be - just let the world fade away! 2:06:29 Swirlhood - Chip Clip This song is an anthem, a dream, a guide, and most of all-- a soundtrack for friendship. 2:09:15 Tommy Ashby - Moonflowers (Best Friend) This song is about those moments with friends where the world seems to have conspired to create a moment just for the two of you. 2:12:15 Thomas LaVine - Maybe I'll Never Know This song is about coming to a place of accepting that there are existential questions I have that may never be answered. 2:15:11 Davis John Patton - If/Then The music of Davis John Patton often resembles the feeling of discovering, dusting off, and opening up an old photo album. 2:18:24 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. 2:22:19 Hunter Metts - Open This song is about losing a love that cut you so deeply that it left you open. 2:26:05 Twin Tacoma - Simplest Things This song is about getting out of the city and falling in love with simple things again - nature, your partner, swimming and everything else. 2:28:38 Daisy Woollard - Was It Me? This song is about lost love, the aching of rejection and longing for answers after a relationship unravels apart. 2:32:03 Ben Reneer - A Ghost In Someone's Body This song is about staring at yourself in the mirror and wondering Who am I? Why am I trapped in this body? 2:36:04 Jordan Pratt - Please This song is about trying to save a frayed relationship, when whatever made it work before just isn't there anymore. 2:39:05 East Love - Changing This song is about coming to terms with the passage of time. Time moves fast, and as we get older, it only moves faster. 2:43:01 Lennon VanderDoes - In The Morning I wrote this about the first time I ever woke up next to the love of my life. Went through a real hard time before we got together and that morning changed everything for me. 2:46:50 Alexander William - Cuffley This song is about a time when I was alone in a big city with not much to do but work and write songs. 2:50:45 Declan Ryan - Far Again This song was inspired by a TED Talk about male mental health. 2:53:47 Neev - Seawall This song is about focusing on the themes surrounding fatigue and stretching yourself too thin. 2:57:41 Plàsi - Foreign Sea Foreign Sea is a journey to a place where one can reflect on the world we live in, and what actually matters. 3:00:46 Mathias Gundhus - June 3:04:24 Sonic Løland, Simen Mitlid - Everything at Once 3:08:26 Simen Mitlid - Channels 3:11:42 James Ghareeb - Sophi
