inkind – Feels Like Home
A soft and luminous indie folk song about belonging, connection and the comfort found in the people who hold us steady.
“We write songs about plans we never keep, lessons learned the hard way, and looking after ourselves and each other,” say Erin and Nate. Feels Like Home captures that universal longing for belonging, whether that is a place, a person or simply a feeling. It is the kind of song that settles into your chest and glows there.
With years of performing and touring between them, inkind invite listeners into their own musical space, a place where kindness leads, stories matter and harmonies feel like a conversation between old friends. Feels Like Home reflects that ethos with gentle guitar work, warm vocal blends and a lyric that lingers long after the final chord.
Their songs are anchored in shared humanity and shaped with a mixture of compassion, raw honesty and a wry sense of humour. The result feels familiar and fresh at the same time, drawing from folk tradition while weaving in hints of jazz, rock and pop. Erin and Nate write for people who are learning, growing and trying again, offering comfort without shying away from life’s harder edges.
With rich harmonies, thoughtful phrasing and melodies that carry both weight and ease, Feels Like Home invites listeners into a space of connection. It is music that encourages us to look after ourselves and one another, reminding us of the power of kindness. We love it.
