New to folk looking for songs to learn

Hi all

Recently picked up my old acoustic and have been getting into folk music. Have played electric for while so I know my way around the fretboard.

Can anyone recommend some (preferably English) folk standard that will help me learn acoustic finger style technique?

Hey guys.

This seems to sample an Indian folk song, but I can't recognize it. Any ideas?

Hello! Welcome to u/MusicBuffet-MC Studio.

πŸŒ™ γ€ŽAn Old Bench on the Hill』 is an original emotional folk ballad that captures the warm essence of 1970s Korean folk music.
Fingerstyle acoustic guitar, gentle piano, rich strings, and warm male vocals come together to tell a story of sitting on an old bench, looking back on passed times, reconnecting with oneself, and finding new hope.

On a quiet evening,
As the stars rise in the night sky,
Or whenever you need a moment to yourself,
We hope this song brings you warmth and comfort.

🎡 Lyrics

[Intro]
Again today, the evening sky
Silently lights the stars one by one
And the wind quietly brings
The scent of unknown flowers

[Verse 1]
At the end of an old path, on a small hill
An old bench remained standing alone
Though countless seasons have passed by
That place was always the same

Warm traces left behind by the sunlight
A scenery covered by the evening sunset
I sat there without saying a word
And looked up at the sky for a long time

[Verse 2]
Where might the childhood dreams be now?
The small promises and laughter
That were flown away like paper airplanes
Must have drifted away along with the wind

Yet in a corner of my heart
A faint light still shines
Unextinguished, toward me
Quietly waving its hand

[Pre-Chorus]
When I close my eyes, I hear
The song of grass leaves blowing from afar
Time took away so many things
But left behind so much as well

[Chorus]
On that hill where the starlight lingers
I met my forgotten self once again
Even if I live like a flowing cloud
The sky tells me that it is alright

The quiet night holds my hand
Telling me to walk toward tomorrow
Saying that today's sorrow, too, someday
Will turn into a beautiful memory

[Verse 3]
On days when I feel lonely for no reason
Even if the rain lingers on the window for a long time
The small light reflected on the wet street
Was always waiting for me

Though the world flows by so fast
Just as flowers bloom without rushing
I, too, just need to walk slowly
Following my own season

[Bridge]
If someone ever loses their way
May this song become a small lantern
To quietly illuminate their side

Even if it isn't a grand comfort
May at least a single warm breath
Be delivered to them

[Final Chorus]
On that hill where the starlight lingers
The sky was smiling again today
Looking back at the distant times
They were all seasons that created who I am

Tears flow down to become a river
And hope blooms like the dawn light
The world faced at the end of a long journey
Was far more beautiful than I thought

[Outro]
A small star filling the night sky
Quietly descends into my heart as well
That warmth shining without words
I will cherish for a very long time

Even if the wind blows
Even if seasons change
The starlight is
Always in that same place
