I need Melancholy music

[Ellen of Kitten]

Replying to the top contenders here. My search isn't over, but I thought I'd check back.

try this on for size

the album versions a minute shorter.

I couldn't find any place to get this soundtrack or song. My usual methods of borrowing from youtube aren't working either. But otherwise this was one of the better suggestions in the thread.

Then how about http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOMBzI66LJU ?

Incredible suggestions! That fits the criteria rather perfectly! Thank you for the suggestion. (Don't stop with the suggestions, everyone else. )

I thought this was it, the perfect fit. And it would be too, if it weren't for the rain track in the background.

got some for you :

-Sigur Ros
-Youkoso! NI NHK soundtracks (trust me they are awesome and lots of instrumentals) the bands name is Pearl Kyoudai


hope this helps

This is a great pick. I'm putting it in the pile just because it is so melancholic but different from the other (working) suggestions.

I still don't know if I want to use this one. A great suggestion, and still my eyes flick back to it.

Hans Zimmerman always wins, people.


This one is technically five minutes long, but the music dips and peaks so much that it can easily be chopped up to fit your needs. You could literally cut it off at 2:30.

That might actually work, in a round about sort of way.
