Royalty Free Sad / Nostalgic Music

Positive and carefree acoustic music featuring finger-picked acoustic guitars, accordion, glockenspiel and double bass

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.

Mystical, orchestral epic, with an ethereal quality. Soothing choir and lush strings and pads start us off, with rich brass swelling to a gently pulsing section of strings and woodwinds as it builds to a more epic finale of fanfare brass and timpani rolls. No stand out melodies, but an overall feel of wonder and enlightenment in a gentle and majestic setting.

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 beautifully flowing, finger picked acoustic guitar track. Very natural and wholesome with a soft melancholic/nostalgic vibe that leads to an overall positive feeling of inspiration and hope. The beauty is in the purity of a solo guitar, the feeling is in the richness of the melodic progressions.

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

Calm ambient guitar track. Heavily reverbed and delayed clean electric guitar laments over a soft bed of synth pads, bass and gently pushing kick drum and percussion while textures build tension all around. Lo-fi effects add an introspective feel, aided by the cinematically arthouse stylings for a track that is full of wonder and soothing tranquility.

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.

This very intimate solo piano pulls the listener into his world, a world of moments where sadness dominates but also hope.

A beautiful folk acoustic ballad with heartfelt male vocals, piano, guitars and brass section

Emotional and inspiring cinematic track mixing calmness and reflection with intensity and tension. Serenity comes from gentle, unhurried piano chords, clean electric guitar phrases and deep, melancholic string sections. Juxtaposed by a fast repeating piano theme that adds an animated anxiety, you get a tale of two contrasting emotions that work perfectly together to push and pull you through this dramatic and elegant, yet somber and pensive journey.  

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

Soft and intimate soundtrack for emotional uplifting and romantic atmospheres with an epic fantasy touch.

Hollow and desperate piano instrumental, epitomising loneliness and helplessness. Slow, methodical piano meanders throughout, searching for a theme, enhanced by electro sound design elements that reinforce the sound of empty space. Not a piece that's going to brighten your day, unless you've been searching for the perfect accompaniment to your solitude and loss of hope.

Super chilled ambient track, with a chill hop beat, rhythmic warps and warm, old school feels through the use of vibraphone, reverbed guitar and synth textures. Just like floating along on a cloud of unhurried passiveness, it leaves you in a state of carefree calm and deep relaxation.

This soft piano music introduces a intimate yet dramatic atmosphere.

This soft but uplifting piano pattern is perfect for corporate and inspiring purposes.

A powerful acoustic folk ballad featuring steel string guitars, piano lead and a sad, nostalgic feel

Rich and calm cinematic track with a dramatic cutting edge. Exploring a single theme by layering different instrumentation and rhythms, it features acoustic fingerpicked guitar to set the mood, adding percussive hits, drones and ethnic vocal chants to ramp up the intensity over an atmospheric bed of airy tension. Full of dreamlike beauty with an uplifting sense of the epic about it.  

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.
