Easter and Thanksgiving Background Music
Easter background music and Thanksgiving music share one Audiosocket collection built around a single idea: coming home. These are folk and singer-songwriter songs, most with vocals, where acoustic and electric guitar, keyboards and light percussion carry tracks like Stephen Kellogg's Thanksgiving and H-O-M-E, forest sun's Bring Me Home and Torches' Family. Use them for holiday brand spots, church welcome videos and family montages that want a homecoming feeling rather than seasonal cliches.

About this Playlist
This collection serves both holidays because its songs are about home and family rather than a specific date. The catalog tags are dominated by home, thanksgiving and sentimental themes, and most of the featured tracks carry the word Home in the title, including three different songs simply titled Home by Taylor Mosley, N3wport and Kenyon. Nothing is tagged gospel or religious; the genres are folk, singer-songwriter and pop. That makes it work for an Easter family gathering video just as well as a Thanksgiving spot.
Most of this collection is sung, with only a small share instrumental. The one clearly instrumental pick among the featured tracks is Home (Bella Ruse Remix Instrumental) by BJSR, which is the track to reach for under narration or a voiced holiday ad. The vocal songs, such as Stephen Kellogg's H-O-M-E and Dimiter Yordanov's Follow Me Home, work best when the lyric is allowed to lead a montage of family footage.
The style is contemporary folk and adult contemporary singer-songwriter, with pop and a little cinematic scoring around the edges. Percussion, electric guitar, acoustic guitar and keyboards lead, and mallets appear on several tracks. The catalog's sounds-like tags point to Duncan Sheik, Ryan Adams, Josh Ritter, Bon Iver, Regina Spektor and Arcade Fire, so expect warm, earnest songwriting rather than novelty holiday jingles.
Monetized YouTube video is covered by every Audiosocket license, so a Thanksgiving or Easter upload can earn ad revenue with any track from this collection. If YouTube's Content ID flags the song, you dispute the claim by stating the track was licensed through Audiosocket, and the license stays perpetual for that video. Client holiday videos, ads and social cuts are covered under the same license.
The tracks average around three minutes twenty seconds, so a 15 or 30 second spot uses a section rather than the whole song. For a voiced ad, the BJSR instrumental remix is the easiest to trim because there is no lyric to cut mid-phrase. For a song-led spot, pick the section where the lyric names home or family, since those words are the reason most of these tracks were chosen.
