Royalty Free Sad / Nostalgic Music

Dreamy indie track with a surprise. A vibraphone intro sets the spacey tone, continued by lazy vocals, tremolo guitar and piano backed by a steady beat. Background harmonies float in to build the atmosphere as the track evolves into an unexpected epic wall of sound - big distorted guitars, huge bass, pounding drums ....... before returning to the more serene state we had settled into. Dreamy and hypnotic - for the most part. Be warned!

Acoustic session featuring a male and female duet for a happy feeling

A slow and emotional cinematic epic. Rich strings start the inspirational ball rolling, building through uplifting piano progressions and subtle background guitar, swelling to a fulfilling soundscape of heroic and positive atmosphere. Calming and reassuring, yet powerfully driving without the need for percussive hits or hectic ostinato, its a well crafted slice of comfort cake for the ears.

An beautiful acoustic guitar instrumental with background male vocals and a nostalgic feel

Fresh and tight beats with hip hop elements triggers curiosity and a cool atmosphere

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 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.    

A dynamic electronic love song featuring male vocals rich synths and electronic percussion

Contemporary classical duet for piano and flute. Slightly ethereal, slightly playful, its diversity mainly comes from rhythmic changes, dynamic variety and chordal dissonance. Soft, dreamy passages lead to fast, aggressive hits and steady rolling motifs change to uneven, juxtaposed off-beat rhythms to form a modern, classical piece that hints at a sombre, downtrodden mood with a carefree, optimistic side.

An energetic and retro-inspired synthwave track featuring vintage analog synths, driving electronic drums, and rhythmic bass lines.

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

Soft cinematic track with an uplifting dreamlike vibe. Drawing on neo-classical minimalism and cinematic ambience, it really hits the gentle spot of soothing textures and heartfelt progressions with spacey piano and lush strings over a backdrop of airy harmonics. Sincere, transparent and pensive.

An atmospheric mid tempo track, with hints of traditional Asian music mixed with chilled percussion and synth textures. The main theme played on tuned wooden percussion is subtly backed with a granular pad and soft beat, built on with guitar harmonics and synth sweeps to create a mood of mystery, intrigue, suspense and wonder. Relaxing, pensive and enigmatic.

A touching and contemplative soundscape with an ambient and blissful atmosphere. Dreamy piano and sound design textures float on a cloud of soft pads, while calming strings enhance the reflective nature of the music.

Sultry New age Lounge instrumental with a smokey, jazzy feel. A rich backing of organ pads, picked guitar, electric bass and rimshot drumbeat support the muted trumpet solo which takes centre stage. Meandering loosely throughout the piece, it has a downtempo, chilled, and slightly ambiguous vibe as if uncertain of its next step, creating a sense of melancholy and a journey into the unknown.

A sentimental rock track with spacey lead guitar. Major use of tremolo and a big drum beat create movement in an otherwise slower paced piece. An optimistic mood, with a reflective tone.

An emotional piano solo with a deep nostalgic feel

Slightly mysterious retro rock theme. Acoustic guitar and female oohs feature over a solid drum beat before brass enters for a South American feel and a searing synth lead takes over. Part psychedelia, part spaghetti Western, it's a downbeat track with melancholic vibes.

A moving orchestral cinematic piece featuring a piano lead, orchestral strings and overall somber, nostalgic feel

Modern pop ballad with innovative drops into house, techno and trap styles. Melodic singer/songwriter verses transform into harder hitting synth-heavy textured choruses, but the overall story never gets lost throughout - regret, loneliness and the difficulty of moving on. Very well crafted with a great sense of pace and change.
