Royalty Free Sad / Nostalgic Music

Smooth, unfussy track about the difficulties of relationships. Urban overtones with a simple, retro lo-fi feel, its calming mood is reassuring and slightly sinister in equal parts, the sleepy vibe juxtaposing the pent up angst of broken and rekindled love. Male vocals provide the melodic hooks, male spoken vocals provide the heartfelt sentiments, all to a backdrop of cool beats, melodic hits and atmospheric guitar swamped in reverb.

A Latin American / Spanish based piece with a modern beat. A lively bass line and rhythm section energise the music under a Spanish guitar lead.

Digital synth arpeggios mix with sweeping strings and guitar to set a mood of natural movement and wonder. Soft pads create a steady and constant backdrop, while some unexpected chord progressions later throw a slight uncertainty at the listener.

This ambient hip hop track describes a stressed atmosphere in narrative and authentic way.

Warm and cosy Christmas moods guaranteed with this track, conjuring up the spirit of togetherness in a peaceful and satisfying piece that's all about the gentle side of holidays.

A beautiful, emotional acoustic folk ballad featuring male and female duet vocals

Serene background track. After the delicate intro of plucked harp, light piano and gentle vocal aahs, accentuated with legato violins, glockenspiel and woodwinds, the piece flourishes into a night time serenade of lush strings and sparkle. Dreamy and reflective in mood, it's the strings that take the lead with a little help from a subtle percussive shaker to add movement and flow as it transitions back to the innocent, child-like theme from the intro.

Contemplative fingerstyle acoustic guitar track with a soft, rolling lilt. Certainly creating a mood of longing, love and nostalgia, it keeps moving on, through its continuous background split chords and phrasal solo melodies. Ambient and deep, it leaves an emotional trace behind while keeping a light and airy passion.

A melancholic piano and strings ambient track. In a perfect example of 'less is more', what you get is a tragically fragile and delicate piece of cinematic, reverbed piano woven with muted strings and harmonics. Isolation, yearning, loss, sorrow ..... it's dark in feeling but light in texture, expressing vulnerability with perhaps the slightest hint of optimism. Moody stuff indeed.

A emotional love ballad with soft male vocals, acoustic guitars and a soulful harmonica solo

An acoustic ukulele and piano instrumental with a difference. Normally the reserve of upbeat and commercial happiness, this uke theme takes on a more reflective feel, with a slower pace and more serious overall tone, whilst still managing to maintain the lightness, simplicity and dynamic of more conventional pieces. A subtle shift in feeling with a familiar style.

Beautiful and elegant cinematic track. With a light and uplifting feeling, it uses string harmonics and soft piano 'question/answer' phrasing to develop the foundation as it builds to a livelier theme featuring pizzicato and legato strings, bright piano and an expressive cello lead. Positive and full of optimism with a delicate sensitivity.

A modern electro pop track, featuring a simple clean electic guitar theme. Slightly hypnotic in feel, with an ethnic world lounge vibe surfacing from time to time, the use of synth in rich backing, textures and prominent lead creates another dimension reminiscent of deep house.

Uplifting and powerful instrumental track with a long dynamic build-up

Melancholic ambience with an indie chill vibe. Blending reverbed guitar with synth pads for an airy, spacey feel creates a bed of dark warmth for the female vocal to glide on. With a simple drum loop adding motion, or a more epic rock beat adding drama, it gently sways between pensively moody and upliftingly epic, all while keeping a controlled thoughtfulness and haunting atmospheric beauty to the music.

An acoustic lullaby-ish instrumental featuring an acoustic guitar melody, a glockenspiel lead and a dark bass synth buildup

Old school, lo-fi hip hop with a dreamy, trippy haze. Very chill, using simple delayed guitar melodies and soft, laid back keyboard lines to create a calm, relaxed groove playing on the back of the beat.

Simple, chilled hip hop track. Ideal as a backdrop, it alternates passages of reverbed guitar and keyboard chords with beat driven passages for contrast. Nothing fancy, but sets a certain tone of reflection and calm stability with an urban chic.
