A captivating indie folk gem that’s the perfect addition to any summer playlist. 

Ginger Winn is a singer and self-taught songwriter, musician, and producer. “Ginger’s work is nostalgic yet fresh, blending folk-pop melodies with intimate lyrics and cinematic production.” Ginger Winn’s latest drop is the 14-track album Freeze Frame, which features the song “Socrates.” The artist noted that the tune’s official video was “filmed on the same bridge used in several scenes from the Apple TV+ series Severance. I was drawn to its eerie quiet and the way it holds both beauty and mystery, much like grief—and much like this song.” Ginger Winn added, “‘Socrates’ is a reflection on memory, loss, and legacy, a theme I know many Severance fans carry close. It’s about the kind of love that you still feel long after it’s gone. For the ones who planted seeds they never got to see grow—this one’s for you.”

With a hypnotic blend of ear-pleasing guitar, mood-enhancing beats, and rich, warm tones, “Socrates” creates a vibrant, inviting backdrop that beautifully complements the tune’s reflective tale. Lyrics like “We owe the future to those who plant the seeds for trees whose shade they’ll never know and never see” and “Loss can remove us from reality, or it can make us stronger and grateful while we breathe” deliver a thought-provoking narrative about hope, devotion, and the greater good. Fueled by its sun-soaked, emotive vocals and a delightfully dreamy sense, Ginger Winn gifts us with a captivating indie-folk gem that’s the perfect addition to any summer playlist. So crank up the volume and immerse yourself in the wisdom of “Socrates.”
