1:32·102 bpm·F
Acoustic, FolkFeel Good, Laid Back, Positive

Solo fingerstyle acoustic guitar with a bluesy, slightly comic bounce at 102 BPM in F, running a compact 1:32. The playing is loose and good-humoured rather than sentimental, landing somewhere between porch blues and character-driven folk.

More Than Me

1:58·117 bpm·D
Acoustic, FolkEmotional, Feel Good

The brightest and quickest of the emotional cues, 117 BPM in D on solo acoustic guitar, with a warm forward-moving picking pattern across just under two minutes. Feeling is affectionate and uplifting rather than melancholy, suited to footage of people reuniting or moving on well.

2:00·100 bpm·A
Acoustic, FolkEmotional, Intimate, Introspective

Reflective solo fingerpicking at an easy 100 BPM in A, a full two minutes of intimate, unhurried travelling motion. The title's sense of pages and places suits journey footage where the mood is thoughtful rather than triumphant.

2:00·106 bpm·C
Acoustic, FolkEmotional, Feel Good, Reflective

Two minutes of warm solo acoustic guitar at 106 BPM in C, balancing reflection with a hopeful, feel-good lift. Reads as looking back on effort and mistakes without bitterness, good for a resolution beat in a personal story.

1:38·90 bpm·A
Acoustic, FolkEmotional, Intimate, Introspective

Delicate solo fingerstyle guitar at 90 BPM in A, short at 1:38 and intimate throughout. Introspective and close-mic'd in feel, best for a single quiet moment rather than a long sequence.

1:02·112 bpm·E
Acoustic, FolkFeel Good, Positive

The shortest cue on the album at 1:02, a brisk 112 BPM in E of sunny solo acoustic picking. Positive and unfussy, built for a quick transition or a tight commercial cutdown.

If I Could Change
STYE817 · Fingerpicking Guitar · Daniel Kearley
2:25·81 bpm·Gm
Acoustic, FolkEmotional, Intimate, Introspective

The saddest and slowest-feeling piece here: 81 BPM in G minor, solo acoustic guitar over 2:24, the album's longest sustained melancholy. Regretful and intimate, holding a minor mood without lifting into resolution-by-brightness.

1:38·96 bpm·G
Acoustic, FolkEmotional, Intimate, Introspective

Tender solo fingerpicking at 96 BPM in G, 1:38 long, sitting between sadness and gratitude. The title points to a cue about someone else's presence — usable for tributes and quiet emotional turns.

STYE817 · Fingerpicking Guitar · Daniel Kearley
2:34·76 bpm·Bm
Acoustic, FolkEmotional, Intimate, Introspective

The longest and slowest cue on the album at 2:33 and 76 BPM in B minor, solo acoustic guitar in a patient, searching minor mode. Introspective and open enough to carry a long narrated passage.

Downstream Dream

1:35·112 bpm·A
Acoustic, FolkFeel Good, Positive

Flowing solo fingerstyle guitar at 112 BPM in A, 1:34 of steady positive motion suggesting current and drift. Shares the album's bright feel-good register with the E-major cue but runs longer and smoother.
