@naivete oh that’s cool to see someone who knows sigur rós ;)
I remember when they first started and were so popular. But now they are not as popular but they are still going strong ;)

I really enjoy Gregorian Chants

Pretty much anything by Stephen Micus is also a good mellow listen.

When all else fails, go to Youtube and listen to the music of the Jackie Gleason Orchestra.

Yes, the tv star had a great orchestra. Listen for yourself.

Beautiful…... sobs like a prom queen who just found a giant spot on her nose :¬(

@KatetheGreat I’m in love with you for posting that ATE song. I’ve never heard of it before. It’s just beautiful. Thanks!
@lemming Gorgeous piano piece. Thank you.
@naivete We have very similar taste in music. :) I love the first song by Sufjan and thank you so much for posting that cover of Creep. Simply gorgeous.
@lucillelucillelucille Yes, I do love that song by Nina. :)
@Michael_Huntington Thanks! I really like Decades. :)
@YoBob Thank you!
@john65pennington Thanks for your suggestion. I’ll check them out!
@ucme XD At the :51 mark it looks like the tree is growing vaginas. Simply inspirational.

@Vunessuh Yes, a pussy stuck up a tree….who knew? :¬)

I am really inspired by Meditation from Thais especially as performed by Itzhak Perlman.

@nailpolishfanatic
I’ve known about them for around 3 years now. They’re perfect for rainy days and reading books :)

I hope some of these are somewhere close to what you had in mind. They’re all good songs anyway.

@Vunessuh Your question made me think at once of Crystal Silence by Chick Corea. Do you like it?

@Vunessuh—Sofa No.2

In My Life—- the version by Bette Midler and better yet, believe it or not Sean Connery recited the lyrics in a melancholic recording I found in iTunes. Now I know this is maybe more of a romantic tune at a glance but deep within the song I also feel the bitter sweet, well mostly bitter actually, taste of impending death due to human aging.

@marinelife Really beautiful. Thank you.
@Randy I wish I could give you more than one GA. Excellent suggestions. I especially love the first song and the one by Sigur Ros…I’ve heard that somewhere before, but I can’t remember where. It’s a gorgeous song and goes so well with that video! Also, thanks for bringing my attention to the Manchester Orchestra. :)
@flutherother I do, I do! Thanks!
@lucillelucillelucille You know, that song ain’t too shabby being about sofas and all… XD
@mazingerz88 Aw, that song is great. :)

Nightmarish and gut-wrenching at the same time .

@Vunessuh I love The Airborne Toxic Event! A lot of their new music is really great for those type of moods.

This could be your darkest hour.

@ladymia69 I remember hearing Alice for the first time from The Lovely Bones trailer. It’s pretty incredible. Portishead. Yes. Please. Perfect.

Good luck with your script, lovely!

@ladymia69 Thank you so much. :)

Wow, Vunessuh I like Patrick Watson and A Fine Frenzy also. Mellow emotional music is what I like best.
My current favorites are Minnie Driver-“Seastories” (yes, that Minnie Driver, she’s excellent)
Lisa Hannigan-“Seasew”
Catherine Feeny-“People in the Hole”
Alela Diane-“To Be Still”
Sarah Jarosz-“Song up in her Head”
Ron Sexsmith-“Long Player, Late Bloomer”
Eleni Mandell-“Afternoon”
and anything by Melody Gardot

Just about anything by Loreena Mckennitt or Summer Channel.

Some background.

Season 3 finale of The West Wing. Press Secretary CJ Cregg had been getting death threats, so she was assigned a Secret Service agent. They start to develop feelings for each other, but since it’d be against the rules, he doesn’t make a move, until they catch the guy sending the threats. He tells her, they kiss, and then he goes to buy her flowers.

Meanwhile, the President has to decide if he should order the assassination of a foreign official, while Deputy White House Chief of Staff Josh Lyman and his girlfriend argue over a piece of legislation.

See here.

You can see the full music video here, but you should see the other one first, ‘cause The West Wing is hella good.

Philip Glass is kinda depressing.

This is out of the norm for me, but I’m being lazy and not reading every post at the moment. sorry

I’ve suggested This Mortal Coil in the past and noticed it in your details. This is always my go to music when I’m in a mellow mood. Eddie Vedder Into The Wild soundtrack is another one, and has no one mentioned Morrissey? Good god that man makes me want to commit suicide.~

@Earthgirl A Fine Frenzy is great. I love Almost Lover. Thanks for all of the suggestions!
@HungryGuy Thank you!
@stardust Thanks! I especially enjoyed All The Way Down and Last Leaf. :)
@Rarebear Thank you so, so much for sharing that. Wow.
@SABOTEUR Ah, yes. Great song. :)
@josie I really like Love Letters. Thank you. :)
@row4food Perfect suggestion. :)
@hopscotchy Did you really use that song at your wedding? God, I’m in love with it. How beautiful that must have been!
@Kardamom Excellent suggestions. I really like the Oasis song. Somewhere Over The Rainbow is such an amazing song. I discovered that from 50 First Dates. And ohhh Norah. She’s great. December is my favorite song of hers. :)
@bob_ That video matched with that song makes it ever more emotional. Thanks for sharing. :)
@dverhey perfect, thank you.
@jonsblond I’ll check out that soundtrack. Thanks!

@jonsblond THE INTO THE WILD SOUNDTRACK!!!! YES!!!!!! i was not and Eddie Vedder fan until I heard that. I love it!

You might want to try Interpol, White Lies and Joy Division.

They all have dark, baritone singers and somewhat depressing lyrics.

@Randy I’ve never seen the movie but I listen to the music all the time. I finally rented the movie yesterday and when I got home I noticed it was Into The Blue that I accidentally grabbed. Mother fucker put the wrong movie in the wrong spot. I was so upset! I’m stuck with a surfing movie this weekend, and a lame one at that. :/

@jonsblond Please get it and watch it soon!

@Vunessuh I Love the Night, Blue Oyster Cult. I don’t know if I can find a link but I’ll look.
