Royalty Free Sad / Nostalgic Music

Reflective sounding hip hop instrumental, based on a repeating guitar melody and layered with synth, piano, deep bass and a clean beat in various combinations. Soft and chilled with an animated drum pattern to liven it up, it makes great background music for a modern, sensitive slice of drama.

80s inspired synth pop track. High energy from the drums and bass, with heavily reverbed keyboard and guitar lead being the melodic focus. Fast arpeggiated synth patterns, sweeps and risers add to the retro vibe. Key modulations between sections give a sense of movement and progression throughout the piece. The main repeated theme gives off a sense of mystery and intrigue.

A gentle and moving duet with a nostalgic feel, featuring piano and violin melodies backed by acoustic guitar

Reaching beyond is the motto of this track. With uplifting harmonies and energizing piano patterns.

A intimate piano telling a short emotional but uplifting story

A moving cinematic track featuring a piano lead, spacious background chorals, and soft glockenspiel fills

This very intimate solo piano describes the torn feelings of homesickness, the sadness but also the precious memories.

Gentle piece for piano and strings. A solo piano theme sets the mood, soon joined by cello, and gradually building on the meandering ideas with full string accompaniment. Mid tempo, flowing but never hurried, it's a delicate track with hints of drama, but mostly sweet, reflective and carefree in it's tone.

Beautifully soft ambient piano with a real intimacy. Its power comes from its simplicity in gently weaving from chord to chord with unhurried elegance, minimalistically enhanced by the subtlest of pads and textures as if to reflect a serene shimmering of light seeping into your mind. Calm, soothing and touching with both an uplifting side and a mournful side.

Listening to this song, you can hear the struggle and the breakthrough to never give up no matter what.

A serenely beautiful slice of Celtic whistfulness, enough to transport you effortlessly through the rolling mists and enchanted forests of an idyllic setting to an ethereal place beyond. Soft, intimate strings lay a foundation for the lyrical Irish flute and pipes, made all the more magical by airy vocal pads and gentle percussive thrills. Slightly sad and regretful, but spiritual, evocative and comforting at the same time.

A gentle keyboard ballad, featuring glistening piano and acoustic guitar. Set over a light drum beat and airy pads, a soothing, shimmering piano lead converses with a warm guitar melody for an easy listening tale of uplifiting romance, positivity and optimism. Clean, calming and simple with a rich glow.

Ambient piano and orchestra merge to form a soothing, atmospheric soundcape of calm positivity, hope and sincerity. Starting with light textures, pads and drones to form an airy canvas, the piano sketches its simple theme for the orchestra to colour in. Rich strings and prominent cello serenely guide us through the emotions, floating on a delicate wave of peace and harmony. Cinematic and uplifting whilst maintaining a relaxed ambience.

A short track telling of a sudden change of sorrow with piano, strings and percussion

Dark and moody piano instrumental, created as a perfect tension builder with electro splatterings and shimmering overtones. Plenty of sound design elements and creeping pulses add interest and drive to generate the brooding ambient soundscape, without losing its main core of fragile, haunting pianowork that binds it all together. Gentle and mysterious with an underlying sinister feel.

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.

Windswept is the title, but it's not designed to ruffle any feathers, more the hairs on the back of your neck. A serene and soothing cinematic soundscape with a triumphantly heroic and patriotic undertone, it's a builder, taking you from gentle and simple ambient piano to an orchestral flurry of woodwinds and legato strings, all the while generating a deep atmosphere of anticipation, inspiration and optimism capturing an essence of the past to give hope to the future.  

Smooth, easy listening pop instrumental. Lots of flowing background keyboard runs, soft pads and gentle acoustic guitar give a meandering momentum to the piece, while pop brass give an unexpected stab, resulting in an upbeat and energetic contrast to the mellow undertone. Nothing heavy, but a relaxed, self assured and expectant vibe with lots of positivity.

Magical orchestral track with a sense of adventure. A gentle, lilting start from the cor anglais grows into a more epic string theme, supported by brass and woodwinds until it finally breaks into the main motif - triumphant, romantic, grand and uplifting. A good mixture of string and woodwind shorts with sweeping string longs, and changes of pace and intensity help to keep the variety high throughout. Moods come and go, instruments fade in and out, but the winter romance is ever present.

This relaxing song makes you believe to be floating through water or the air.
