Chloe & FolkFinder
Hey Chloe, have you ever thought about how many folk songs and stories are slipping away as we move into the digital era? I’m fascinated by the tiny details that slip past us, and I’d love to hear your take on what that loss feels like and how we might keep those voices alive.
That’s a really great point—you’re right, a lot of those little tales and tunes get lost if we don’t grab them before they fade. It feels a bit like watching a favorite movie get cancelled; the stories, the emotions, the memories that shaped a whole generation just vanish. But I think we can still keep them alive by making them part of everyday life. If we record them, put them on podcasts or YouTube, or even play them at community events, we give those voices a new home. And the best way? Get people—especially kids—to share and remix them. That way the songs stay alive, and we’re adding fresh layers to them instead of letting them die out.
