Royalty Free Sad / Nostalgic Music

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

A soft, melancholic acoustic track, featuring guitar, piano and strings. Opening with arpeggiated guitar accompanying a simple, yearning melody, the piece plays on the theme as it builds with piano and eventually the legato strings to solidify the overall ambience of regret. Bittersweet in its mood, with lots of question/answer phrasing, the piece is a thoughtful study of a traumatised mind.

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.

A romantic alt-rock ballad featuring powerful male vocals and layers of distorted guitars

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.

Lonesome acoustic track - either revelling in its tranquil solitude, or slowly sinking into its desperate acceptance of perpetual loneliness, depending on your point of view. In any case, it's a gentle acoustic guitar/harmonica track with a country, cowboy flavour beautifully crafting a special atmosphere of the remote Wild West. Or remote anywhere for that matter.

The 528 Hertz solfeggio frequency is also known as the frequency of health and longevity. And this is quite a long 8 minutes of haunting, penetrating, meditational soundscape. Like a swirling wind of synthesized tones seeping through your ears, it is both sonically immersive and spiritually engrossing, evolving slowly with minimal movement to give time to fully absorb the sensory effects given off.

Epic ambient piece with huge pads and piano melody.

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

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.

Slow building, cinematic orchestral piece. Immediately dramatic and intense, through single repeated piano notes and suspenseful violin harmonics, there's an ethnic edge in the instrumentation merging with strings and oboe as the piece turns darker with rich bass and dissonant textures. Ambient and brooding throughout with a tragic, heroic feel to the second half due to a sweeping string and brass melody accompanied by added timpani and rhythm, it remains a calm yet slightly unsettling piece with outstanding tension.

A dramatic orchestral underscore with slow string swells and an overall suspenseful, dramatic feel

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

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

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.

A soft piano piece that slowly travels through a variety of emotions. Gently paced with a subtle, modern background beat that drops in and out, it has cinematic qualities due to the added string orchestration and reverb, and a slight lift near the end as arpeggiated acoustic guitar enhances the atmosphere. Soothing thanks to the soft instrumentation and tempo, airy and floating from background textures and uncomplicated thanks to the simplicity of the piano, it has all the features of a relaxing, meditative track with a modern touch.  

Ambient and uplifting inspirational pop rock featuring pianos, synth lines, guitar melodies and dreamy synth pads

Set Forth tells the story of an emotional journey with contemporary pop elements

Romantic easy listening piano solo. Delicately played and full of heartfelt emotion, it's a soft, 3 section piece featuring arpeggiated chords and melodic lines. Something of a tearjerker, but with a satisfying contentment at the same time.
