This is because the indie genre largely favors accessible music built off songs that embrace simple chords, rhythms, and melodies. If we take the time to learn just a few simple chords on the ukulele, we\u2019ll be able to have everything we need to play hundreds of awesome indie ukulele songs. It was a tough job, but we\u2019ve hand-picked six of them to show you how to play in this article. All you\u2019ll need is a ukulele and your voice.

An unlikely hit for the Seattle indie rock band, \u201cI Will Follow You Into The Dark\u201d was recorded in mono with just one microphone, and the final version of the song features barely any editing. Written at age 29, the song is about Ben Gibbard\u2019s struggle to comprehend the meaning of love\u2019s relationship with death. &#8220;It&#8217;s just this idea that what if somebody dies and we&#8217;re just floating, just stumbling around in infinite darkness, and I&#8217;m just trying to find some kind of spiritual kind of peace with myself, and the world,\u201d said Gibbard when he was interviewed about what he wrote the song about. <\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-5153\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-15-at-3.45.25-PM.png\" alt=\"death cab for cutie chords\" width=\"553\" height=\"324\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-15-at-3.45.25-PM.png 553w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-15-at-3.45.25-PM-300x176.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 553px) 100vw, 553px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5136 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-15-at-3.13.40-PM-1.png\" alt=\"death cab for cutie\" width=\"446\" height=\"724\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-15-at-3.13.40-PM-1.png 446w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-15-at-3.13.40-PM-1-185x300.png 185w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 446px) 100vw, 446px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5137 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-15-at-3.13.57-PM.png\" alt=\"death cab for cutie\" width=\"449\" height=\"815\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-15-at-3.13.57-PM.png 449w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-15-at-3.13.57-PM-165x300.png 165w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 449px) 100vw, 449px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-5138 alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-15-at-3.14.05-PM.png\" alt=\"death cab for cutie\" width=\"439\" height=\"487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-15-at-3.14.05-PM.png 439w, https:\/\/www.musikalessons.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/09\/Screen-Shot-2017-09-15-at-3.14.05-PM-270x300.png 270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 439px) 100vw, 439px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2><strong>\u201cWhite Winter Hymnal,\u201d by Fleet Foxes<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Released in 2008, this was the debut single from the excellent self-titled Fleet Foxes album.

Singer and principal songwriter Wayne Coyne wrote the song while watching his friend and bandmate go through painful withdrawals from heroin, a drug he was trying to wean himself off of. \u201cWhenever I analyze the scientific realities of what it means to be living here on Earth,\u201d Coyne remarked in an interview when he was asked why he wrote the song, \u201cin this galaxy spinning around the sun and flying through space, a terror shock seizes me!!!
