Royalty Free Sad / Nostalgic Music

Gentle instrumental loop. Arpeggiated acoustic guitar and vibraphone melody are joined by piano and a soft rhythm to create a track that stays light and pensive throughout. More animated in the second half due to the extra instrumentation and rhythmical elements, remaining calm, positive and warm.

An emotional and heartfelt love song with soft male vocals and rich acoustic guitars

An emotional piano and strings ballad with big drums and an optimistic feel

A dark, mysterious-sounding ambient track featuring a celeste lead and a beautiful string ensemble

Ethereal light orchestral piece for strings, piano and harp. Starting with a magical, fantasy feel through high legato strings and fast harp, it soon turns to a more mystical orchestration, melancholic cello becoming more prominent, and introducing a stately motif - something that is boldly developed into a majestic statement as the flow of the music unwinds. Peaceful and steady, while maintaining the grandeur and wonder of an unknown infinite universe, it's a gentle study of questions without answers.

A light acoustic track with ghostly theremin synth lead and arpeggiated acoustic guitar. Builds up only slightly through added piano and percussion. A little dark and mysterious in feeling, with hints of optimism.

A soft, mid paced orchestral track with a sombre side. A gentle, pulsating string and harp intro featuring solo viola, cello and oboe flourishes into life with string shorts, harp glissandi and orchestral runs before dying down again for the ending. Good use of the vibraphone creates a dreamlike quality to help set an intense, melancholic and nostalgic mood, tinged with a sense of reflection and regret.    

Downtempo, gritty R&B pop. A calm intro of clean electric guitar and soulful male vocals mixes with a heavily saturated fuzz bass for depth as the intensity builds to the chorus of big, full chords and dramatic drum beat. A bridge section of rap vocals over a heavily reverbed texture of guitar, synth and drums adds contrast before the return of the chorus making a heartfelt song, full of passion and variety, about a relationship break up.
