0:00 Hollow Coves - Let's Go
This song is about living life to the full.

2:00 James Vincent McMorrow - Stay Cool
I have lived the last few years amongst a span of trees. There was something comforting in hiding, but it was obscuring the places I wanted to go, and it was obscuring me. For me, the winter is when things begin. All the songs and records I’m most proud of have either been created or released during the winter months. You’ll listen to this song and hopefully know what it’s about, emerging from trees, trying to be open again.

5:25 Fiona Harte - Harbours
This song is about grief

8:11 Ryan Harris - In The Morning
Finally trusting that life will work out and not always needing to force things

11:32 The Lubben Brothers - Wildflowers in June
This song is about treasuring everyday moments and the people closest to us. Time has a way of speeding up and slowing down, so we've got to hold on to all the simple, sacred moments spent together.

14:37 Amistat - a moment in the sun

⏮ Previous volumes of this Acoustic Chill series:

17:54 Courtney Lancaster, Roger Jaeger - Forgot
This song is about remembering the love

21:51 Ocie Elliott - Come On By
A song that speaks to a special kind of bond with someone who has the ability to pull you up from an internally gloomy place, just by being around. Someone who effortlessly, and quite often obliviously, shows our dark moods a window to climb up and out of.

25:13 Children of Indigo - Yesterday
It’s easy to feel lost as we travel through life. Circumstances change, relationships fade, and we get caught in the midst without the answers. This song is about overcoming that hurdle; looking to the past in order to see how we must carry ourselves moving forward; allowing the natural process of change to take place from within.

28:42 Isaac Roux - Autumn Love

32:01 Shallow Alcove - Dream Song
This song is about a gift from the sleep fairies; the first verse was written in a dream & remembered upon waking. Born subconsciously, Dream Song is like winding up a music box from your childhood & hearing a song you knew in a past life.

34:44 The Ballroom Thieves - Tender
We were listening to the band Watchhouse at the Newport Folk Festival in 2022 and their sparse instrumentation and fluid melodies inspired me to start writing Tender right on the spot. We learn a lot from our peers, and in this case, the lesson was about the importance of creating space for your songs to breathe so you can hear what’s happening between the notes.

39:48 Stu Larsen - Running Out of Time
It doesn’t seem to matter how old we are, we’re always running out of time. This song follows a couple from the beginning to the end and asks the question, ‘is time the open door or is it the cage?’ Does it offer us freedom or does it make us feel trapped?

43:19 Sobi - Heaven & Earth
This song is about becoming a parent and trying to find the balance between protecting our children and letting them forge their own path, trusting that everything will be okay for them even if we're not perfect.


46:04 Tommy Ashby - Not That Far To Go (Binaural Acoustic Version)
I guess the message of the song is to take stock of all of the good things, focus on the present and accept that a lot of the stuff that happens to you is beyond your control.

49:21 Harrison Storm - Stone - Acoustic
This song was written in the worst part of Melbourne’s lockdowns. At its peak, I could barely leave my house. I was so anxious, and I had this epiphany that I really needed to work on it. The chorus is, ‘I’d rather be alone than together now, ’ but for me, it’s not a negative thing. I need to be alone so I can have these reflections.

52:57 Jules Renner - Superhero
This song is about my mom, but also about all the other selfless courageous amazing moms out there in the world. Once I became an adult, I could see just how much of herself my ma gave up, so that me and my little brother could have a good life.

56:20 John Muirhead - Cemetery Somewhere
This song is about the realization that we can't do everything we dream of. As we get older, it's natural to prioritize what means most to you.. but every now and then I wonder about the lives I didn't get a chance to live.

59:55 Dominique Fricot, OKTOBER - People Pleaser
This song is about two people who are deciding to change their ways but in opposite directions at the exact same time. One person who's always been the one who makes it work, gives up, and the other who normally cuts and runs decides to stay.

1:02:56 Danielle Durack - Moon Song
This song was written shortly after losing a loved one to suicide. It plays with themes of escapism and suicide but ends on a hopeful note that tomorrow might just be a better day.

1:06:00 Darren Roy Clarke - Dirty Face and a Broken Screen
This song is about inner turmoils rippling out into a relationship, and not knowing if I’ve gone too far…

1:08:42 Mark Wilkinson - Taking Our Time
Some memories are beautiful to reflect on whilst others can act as anchors, preventing us from moving on and embracing the present. Too often we find ourselves treading water, waiting for the perfect moment to do something or trying to relive times gone by. This track is about freeing yourself from historical baggage.

1:12:27 Angus and Julia Stone - The Wedding Song
The song is a celebration of love and human connection. In a world that can feel disconnected and frightening, we want to share something that reflects the beauty of how humans choose to treat each other, love each other, and make promises to build something beautiful together.

1:15:41 Ryan Harris - Rolling On (Acoustic)
For 8 years i lived beside a freezing river with my best friend. Almost every day we would get in that river and it would fix our mental state, this song is about that river and the special bond we have with it

1:19:33 Tim McNary - Lose Your Love
This song is about loving someone VERY much and still not knowing how to make relationship work

1:23:01 LULLANAS - Pretty Lies & Time Machines
This song serves as a gentle reminder of how space, time, and being on the outside looking in, can provide you with a fresh lens. Things that were once blurry and confusing become oh so crystal clear from a distance.

1:29:13 Ollie Wade - Simple With You
This song is about how despite everything that life throws at you, and all of its complications and pain, it all becomes so simple when you find that somebody to share it all with.

1:31:58 Daniel Trakell - Folk Song #2
This song is about the pressure of living up to internal and external expectations, pouring your heart and soul into something but being consumed by self doubt. The title Folk Song #2 reference to a song by one of my favourite artists Elliott Smith.

1:34:46 Tyler Cain - Alaska
This song is about living in the moment. My father and I always talked about going to Alaska together in my youth, but we never made it happen. When he got older and sick, I always regretted not taking the trip and living life to the fullest.

1:38:24 SORIN - Rivers To The Sea
This song is about coming home and reconnecting with one's roots.

1:41:22 Gianni Bee x Maddie Ashman - Sunflower
This is a song from the summer, to make you feel comforted and hopeful as one would with the return of the sun and the long days.

1:44:15 Joy Gutschlag - Beautiful
I wrote this song for my beautiful friend who had to battle through mental illness, yet was so strong and courageous and had no idea how amazing she is. You are seen, loved, beautiful inside and out, no matter what the world says!

1:47:49 Will McCartt - With Her
This song is an attempt to paint the picture of what a love of a lifetime feels like.

1:50:51 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.

1:57:08 Lorenzo Guevarra - As Well As I Do
The song was inspired by two of my friends who started a relationship in our younger years. Being a largely turbulent affair, the way they handled the final breakup (without the ugliness that usually accompanied the enterprise) inspired the song.

2:00:12 Kelsey Berrington - House on the Hill
This song is about, wanting to in a place that you’re currently not, daydreaming and longing for a life with a loved one.

2:03:56 Jackson Harden - Doris Day
This song is about my partner and I's origin story. There are several inside jokes throughout the song from those first few months including our second date when we traded records and I gave her a Doris Day record and she gave me an Elvis record.

2:06:12 Doris Club - The Sleeper and The Bed
2:08:55 Rohini Rege - Ghosts of my past
2:11:41 Anica - in the dark
2:15:49 Brittany Ann Tranbaugh - Bushwick
