I have been enjoying listening to the songs you have posted and learning new ones.

I stumbled over another beautiful fingerpicked song about life

Ralph McTell - Streets Of London

So many....
Look into Paul Simon's early S&G recordings:
Sparrow, I Am A Rock, Hazy Shade of Winter, Cloudy...

Then there's always Neil's After The Goldrush.

I guess I'm dating myself.

No shortage of tunes on these topics.

One of my favorite songs of all time...Ripple, by the Grateful Dead. I love the collaborative version done by Playing For Change.

Bruce Cockburn
Ian Tyson
Gord Lightfoot

From the OP
"Also somewhat melancholic or deep songs about life."
