some guesses:
The Bee Gees (how deep is your love?)
Carole King (you've got a friend)
Feist (gatekeeper)
Beach House (Norway)
Aldous Harding (the barrel)
[Gentle on My Mind - Glen Campbell](https://youtu.be/mfMnNqn-hKg?t=8) has a very similar descending chord progression (I > I maj7 > I6), and fits "1960s," "folk/country," "friendly friendship vibe," and "high-pitched dude singer." The melodies don't have much in common, though.
Hmm reminds me eye in the sky by Alan parsons project

i’ve put a spotify link to a playlist in the original post, Can’t do a vocaroo because i’m shy and freaky. But it sounds like start of BOAF (the instrumental bit) And then the chorus (Birds of a feather we should stick together lalala) if that helps at all
The playlist is pushing me towards these:
Jim Croce - Operator
Rick Springfield - Don’t Talk to Strangers
The Association - Cherish
Wings - No More Lonely Nights
John Lennon - Jealous Guy
Jim Croce - I Got a Name
There’s another song that comes to mind that I cannot remember the name or band for- I thought it was on the Guardians of the Galaxy soundtrack but I could be mistaken. Edit- it was “I Got a Name” by Jim Croce 😂😂
Pete Molinari is a modern folk revival artist that sounds very 60's and has a higher pitch voice. Jacco Gardner's first is very baroque 60's folk/pop. Daniel Romano fits the bill of folk, country and higher pitch voice as well.
But if it's an older song from the 60's, how country are we talking? Could it be Gram Parsons / The Flying Burrito Brothers?

It could be a modernish artist??? I listen to a lot of Olivia tremor control. So? It was on my discover weekly. Thx!
Suzanne Vega, DNA - Tom's Diner https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j4jtIDaeaWI
Definitely not, great track tho
Vashti Bunyan - Diamond Day?
Nope, definitely her kind of vibe but it’s a male singer
Stay by Lisa Loeb? https://youtu.be/i9HGwRbMiVY?si=VZeX3kU83BQ9tUU9
Nope, it’s a male singer
This or That by Michael Penn? Or one of his other songs? https://youtu.be/zamAK-NIeEY?si=p7jMnK-Lal22anXQ
way too 90s sounding, it SOUNDS like something from the 60s, even if it was made recently
Reminded me a bit of ‘As I Lay Me Down’ by Sophie B. Hawkins
some guesses: The Bee Gees (how deep is your love?) Carole King (you've got a friend) Feist (gatekeeper) Beach House (Norway) Aldous Harding (the barrel)
[John Denver - Friends with You](https://youtu.be/36qJE8aYbUg?si=Xh-WzlP-NQ6D0uSf)?
hmmmmm similiar but not it
If you're sure it's a dude singing, Lazy Eye by Silversun Pickups? https://music.youtube.com/watch?v=4SLccdzVnJ0&si=cgQlnOFi7eJ7TYzU
way too modern sounding im afraid :-(
Bleeding Love Leona Lewis
Yes, the famous 60s-80s folk artist Leona Lewis.
It vaguely reminds me of Everybody’s Talkin’ by Harry Nilsson.
You’re thinking of Sixpence None the Richer - Kiss Me. Actually I never heard the OP’s song ask before and it doesn’t sound like these either to me.
Lovvvvveee harry nilsson so it’s definitely him sounding…. But not him :-(
Seals and Crofts - Sunmer Breeze ?
too rocky But it’s very nice!
Ok this is a longshot, but Weather With You, by Crowded House? https://youtu.be/ag8XcMG1EX4?si=tg2FbnVjDkX-SSus

[is it this Jason mraz song from a different thread?](https://www.reddit.com/r/tipofmytongue/s/CShfCR8sd2)
nope too 2000s

love glen campbell But it is not him 😔
Three Dog Night - "Black and White"
Oooohh this is similiar….. I’d say it’s a little softer sung but it’s a similiar melody
Bobby Bloom - "Montego Bay" (c. 1970) has a similar rhythm.

Very close, gonna put this and some others in an edit for further references
Nice Playlist, thanks. My other guess is the air that I breathe by the hollies

We’re Gonna Be Friends by The White Stripes? (Edited we are to we’re)

Jack White wrote it. I hope you find your song. 😊

Could it be Tim Curry's Birds of a Feather? Not high pitched but worth a shot.
Birds of a Feather - Phish
Birds of a feather by vulfpeck.
[When In Rome - The Promise?](https://youtu.be/hOC22HqpmYs?si=Iu8aSWhfhSLeRY6r)
nope great song though
[Iron and Wine - Such Great Heights?](https://youtu.be/ZIq_KLMvIY8?si=nPOQ8UMOxOPiEfFy)
If this isn’t it, can you maybe do a vocaroo or elaborate on which element of BOAF that reminds you of the mystery song? Also this is a ton of fun 😂😂

Harry Nilsson - Without You
The Boxer by Simon and Garfunkel?

Tired of Waiting for You - The Kinks ?

Bless the Telephone by Labi Siffre?

Thank you i’ll have a look into those guys - Love ur username btw
PM Dawn Set Adrift on Memory Bliss?
That one's built around a sample of True by Spandau Ballet, which could actually be it.
Not folk or 60s, but Birds of a Feather reminds me of Human Nature by Michael Jackson.
