Best Indie Folk & singer songwriter songs of 2022; from Ocie Elliott, Lexie Carroll, Garrett Kato, Jessie Reid, Tom Speight, Ryan Harris & many more! Best Acoustic Indie Folk of 2022: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i2axlX9ph9SegMU Playlist on Spotify: spoti.fi/3G428B4 ⏩ Top 100 Indie Folk: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a6jMqp6GodyKf9E ⏬ Tracklist: 0:10 The Franklin Electric - Answers This song is about making a new set of choices and finding answers outside the usual life we know. Stepping out of what's comfortable and opening up to an entirely new world of possibilities. 2:55 Ocie Elliott - With the Lights Down This song was written after Sierra's last birthday and points to the feeling left-over from the celebration: a mixture of love, happiness and gratitude. 6:51 Ryan Harris - My Mind This song is about traveling all around the world only to realize you have what you wanted right in front of you the whole time. 10:12 SYML - Sweet Home This song feels cozy and nostalgic, like the nostalgia of something good is enough to carry us through any storm. That is home. 14:20 Francis Moon - Two Worlds Apart This song is about being honest with yourself and speaking your mind in a relationship. It doesn't help to stay silent and wait for things to improve on their own, because doing so repeatedly makes the problem worse. 17:47 Garrett Kato - Drugstore Houses The song reminisces on growing up in a town with nothing to offer but boredom and trouble. 20:49 Sunflower Thieves - I Don't Know Why The track is about how complicated close relationships can be. 24:11 Hazlett - My Skin You know in your head that eventually people are bound to move on. Of course, they are going to go on the same date nights, road trips and restaurants they did with you, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t sting. 27:48 néomí - if i wasn’t made for love This song is about the beauty and mystery of life. And what love brings to me, and I think also to others too. 31:42 Tom Speight - You & I This song is a simple love song with a hopeful message of your love being the one thing you can rely on 34:15 Lexie Carroll - racing raindrops This song is about growing up and growing apart from an important childhood friend. 37:51 Rich Jacques - Montecito This song is a love letter to Montecito in California and to deepening friendships during the start of pandemic in 2020. 41:14 SYML - Lost Myself 44:46 Jessie Reid - Hearts On Fire This song is about wanting someone to show their true feelings towards you. 48:18 Daulton Hopkins - Collateral This song is about watching someone hurt themselves in front of your eyes is difficult. This song is a response to a time in my life where hope was tough to find and feeling helpless became natural. 51:16 Davis John Patton - Vacant Airport In this song Davis shares a lush meditative look at the vows he made when he got married to his wife. 54:08 Marti West - I'd Follow You This song is about finding an element of home in someone rather than somewhere. 58:18 Aaron Percy - Bold This song is about finding someone who brings more color and vibrancy to life. 1:00:31 Freight Train Foxes - Fly to You This song is about a desire for connection. Sometimes you're just a plane flight away from someone you love. 1:04:02 Hayden Calnin - Dreamer 1:07:40 Ryan Harris - Gone (Away) This song is about always looking ahead to the future and missing what's right in front of you. 1:10:26 Alivan Blu - Southern Sun Vocalist Anna: I grew up in a small town on the south coast of England. When I was 17, I packed a backpack, my surfboard and migrated to Australia by myself, leaving all my friends and family behind. The song is about missing the people you love. 1:15:00 Garrett Kato - Telephone This song tells the story of losing touch with someone special due to distance, both physically and emotionally. 1:18:33 Roses & Revolutions - Worry feat. Tom Speight This song deals with when someone is just consumed with constant fear and rumination. If it’s not one thing, it’s another. The anxiety and worry always seems to get worse as the sun goes down and it gets dark. 1:21:13 Ocie Elliott - What Remains This song is about losing someone you deeply love and the feelings of trying to get through and live with the sadness and emotion that loss brings to life. 1:25:28 Ollie Dixon - St Agnes This song is about that life is trials and tribulations, experiences, no matter how bad life can be how little money I have there's always good. 1:28:57 Ryan Edmond, Salt Tree - Cold Ways This song is about a friend of ours, who at the time was going through a difficult breakup. 1:31:46 The Light The Heat - Sun Paints the Sea This song is a poetic tale of two lovers dreaming. 1:34:50 Thomas LaVine - Giants This song is about time spent in adolescence when a person perhaps feels the freest in their life. 1:39:00 sød ven - Hold On This song explores ways to cope with the inevitability of change. 1:42:27 Davis John Patton - The Morning's Blessings Writing this tune gave me great joy in the depths of monotonous mornings at home in 2020. I hope it gives you joy today as well! 1:45:24 Michael Dunstan - Walk The Streets On Sunrise This song is about the power of observing the witnessing the early morning stillness, and using it to inspire your life. 1:49:19 Atli - Missing Her So This song was written after a breakup with my girlfriend at the time. She moved on to someone new really fast and I didn't, which caused me a lot of pain 1:57:36 Tommy Ashby - Closer This song is about that timeless feeling you can get when you are with someone and it feels like you are the only two people awake in the world. 2:01:43 Reed Pittman - Home This song is about how the love of another transforms everything into a home; a bedrock of peace and rest and beauty. 2:05:22 Hazlett - Tell Me What You Dream About I think you need to step out of your own self to see things clearly sometimes. Life becomes pretty heavy when you can't brush by a little inconvenience or the fear of failing, Hazlett explained. So, I tried to picture what my future self would be telling me if we were friends. Waiting for me, cheering me on and reminding me of everything I’ve done so far. I think we forget that we need to encourage ourselves from time to time. 2:08:39 Woodlock - Quick Hands I was feeling super grateful for my life and my partner and it spilled into a song idea really quickly, I grabbed my phone and recorded the idea and it stayed in there as I couldn't figure out how to write verses to finish it. 2:12:03 Verdiblume - Look You in the Eye Empathy begins with the understanding that everyone is shaped by their experiences, hardships and victories. 2:15:31 Tyler Brown Williams - Wherever the Wind Blows This song is about finding love that doesn't fade with time. 2:19:34 Luna Keller - Wolves This song is about my two dear friends Alex and Lyca who passed away not so long ago. But it's not just about the grief of losing someone, it's also about the gratitude of having had someone so wonderful in my life. 2:24:28 Francis Moon - The Weight Of An Ocean This song is about choosing to tell someone that you love them or staying silent and carrying the weight of an ocean. 2:27:55 Tyler Edwards - NOW OR NEVER I wrote this song while reflecting on what my experience of love is vs what we are taught through movies and songs. 2:30:57 Ross Newhouse - Sea Without Blue This song is about not realizing that your time with a person is running out, and how much of a part of you they were. 2:34:17 Michael Benjamin - It's Okay This song is the first single release under a new artist name. A new chapter to start. 2:37:41 Jordan Pratt - The Deepest of Blues This song for me is about my wife and daughters. More broadly, it's about being true to what you love. 2:41:10 Daulton Hopkins - Fool's Gold This song is about 2:44:09 Atli - Waterfalls This song is about a breakup after which I felt we would get back together. But we didn’t. And in hindsight, this broke me the most. 2:48:00 Rhineland - Halifax This song is about feeling different. It lyrically uses visceral imagery to describe moving back home & reflecting on strange nuances of growing up in a small-town/remote area & how different it can feel from others’ childhood and adolescent years. 2:50:48 aedie - Steal Some Sun This song is about exploring Yellowstone, the Tetons, Shasta, Mt. Hood, and surfing the California coastline. 2:54:33 Ollie Dixon - Harbour Its a realisation that, life can be so unexpected, with many twists and turns, trials and tribulations. But there's always a silver lining. leaving people behind and starting a new journey. 2:59:32 Thomas LaVine - Staring At The Sky This song is about being lost in complete wanderlust, and feeling deeply connected to the natural world. 3:03:18 Cole Scheifele - Poems This song is about the ways in which we put on little costumes and embellishments when falling in love with someone. 3:06:56 Memorial - Dialtone This song is about how distance brought us closer together as we realised we could actually depend on each other and be there in meaningful ways. 3:10:12 Jordan Klassen - Lotusland This song is my ode to Vancouver and the spirit of the city among myself and my peers.

Hello friends, what should I do in order to legally use the music from this playlist as audio for a video on my personal KZbin channel? Not commercial. Are these songs on epidemic, envato?

[@IndieFolkCentral]

Hey! To use it legally you will have to get a copyright approval signed by the copyright owner (artist/label), so best way would be to get in touch with the artists themselves or the labels that released their music! I hope this helps a bit ☺️

[@munameli4255]

Thanks a lot ☺️

It's morning and raining outside, I'm working but slow day in the office due to holiday. Blasting these songs while remembering 2022.. Thank you. Greetings from Indonesia.

[@natureschild2000]

Wow! I recently discovered Indie Folk through Indie Folk Central, and oh what a boon in my life's work and quest! This is the "Rap" of the heart, of the Soul, only so much better, purer, positive, Godly. The Great Harmony is being expressed in this Harmonic, sweet Poetry, True. That Great Reality - Our Reality - has always been there, but it is coming into greater expression, and this art form and this generation, the Millennials is one of its beautiful Agents. Thank you Rufus, and all these youth who are pure enough, who are attuned enough to their heart and Reality, and who are brave enough, and care enough in their lives to give this lovely expression of the Heart of the Universe, Our Heart. You are that too, Rufus, so attuned to the Heart and Brave that you can discriminate the best and gather them on Best Indie Folk so the blessing and good is spread far and wide. This is a great service, and it will bear fruit, something Wonderful.

[@Son_Of_Bangoua]

Nice mix, curious if others see Ronald Mcdonald in the main photo? We got a laugh today when my wife was looking at the screen and asked, "Does that look like Ronald Mcdonald from the back?" .. And i already thought that in an unspoken thought.
