Sailing Away
Royalty Free Emotional Piano Music

2021
Picture a single piano key as a droplet of melancholy, each note rippling outward through silence with deliberate, unhurried grace. “Sailing Away” inhabits that precious space between reflection and release, where musical simplicity becomes profound storytelling. This delicate solo piano composition unfolds like watching thoughts drift across a contemplative mind—plaintive yet serene, mournful yet oddly comforting. The piece carries that dreamlike quality where time seems suspended, allowing your content to breathe with genuine emotional resonance rather than manufactured sentiment.
Exceptionally suited for memorial tributes and reflective documentary segments where authentic emotion trumps dramatic flourish. This track provides the perfect sonic canvas for mindfulness content, personal storytelling vlogs, or any narrative exploring themes of loss, memory, or quiet transformation. Particularly effective for podcast conclusions, therapeutic content, or social media posts requiring that delicate balance between melancholy and hope—where you need music that holds space rather than fills it.

Slow and introspective solo piano. The piano playing is soft and gentle, which creates a contemplative atmosphere. The pace of the piece is deliberate and measured, creating the feeling of taking a nostalgic journey down memory lane. The inspiration for the piece comes from the transitional period between winter and spring, a time often associated with reflection and renewal. As the piece progresses, cellos join in to add depth and richness to the sound. The cellos complement the piano nicely, enhancing the overall emotional impact of the piece. Finally, guitar harmonics are added to add a touch of brightness and sparkle to the piece. The piece has a slightly degraded sound, evocative of an old and cherished memory. This choice of production technique helps to emphasise the nostalgic feel of the piece and further underscores the theme of reflection and remembrance.
This piece of music could be used in a variety of contexts, including: Film or television: The introspective and nostalgic feel of the piece would be well suited for use in dramatic scenes, such as flashbacks or montages, where a contemplative mood is desired. Documentaries: The piece could be used as background music for documentaries that deal with themes of personal reflection, history, or nostalgia. Advertising: The piece could be used to create a warm, emotional atmosphere in advertisements that promote products or services associated with home, comfort, or family. Meditation and relaxation: The soft and gentle piano playing, combined with the rich cello and sparkling guitar harmonics, could provide a calming and peaceful background for meditation and relaxation practices. Background music: The piece could also be used as background music for events, such as weddings or memorials, where a nostalgic and emotional atmosphere is desired. Apparently, it would also be perfect music for a spa! Who knew?

Warm Mediterranean nights, serenaded by a quartet of accordion, guitar, mandolin, and violin playing a plaintive waltz. Very relaxed, and just a little melancholy.
Definitely got an evening, food, and stroll feeling. Would be good for photo montages of the Adriatic coast.

An ancient jazz piano recording cut up, and combined with a deep bass, and echoing percussion make for an off-kilter jazzy Lo-Fi piece. Warbling flute mellotrons, and crackly vinyl sounds give this song a real vintage wamth, but the bass and drums add a modern coolness. The piano sample is from a public domain source – it’s Bix Beiderbecke’s “In the Dark” and “Flashes” which I combined, and what informed the name of this song. Cooool!
Would be great for a podcast about true crime in the early 20th Century, or even a gritty drama set in the Depression era.

Yearning
Royalty Free Sad Piano Music
Shane Ivers
2016
Some piano pieces whisper their emotions delicately, others declare them boldly—”Yearning” simply lets them fall like autumn leaves, each note carrying the weight of unspoken longing. This sparse composition inhabits that peculiar emotional territory where melancholy becomes oddly comforting, where the silence between notes says as much as the music itself. The track unfolds with deliberate restraint, allowing each keystroke to resonate through contemplative space before the next arrives. It’s classical sad piano done with genuine emotional intelligence rather than manipulative sentimentality—the sort of music that holds space for authentic feeling without demanding tears, creating atmosphere that enhances rather than dominates whatever story you’re telling.
Exceptionally suited for memorial content, personal reflection videos, and emotional storytelling where subtlety trumps melodrama. This track provides the perfect sonic foundation for therapeutic content, grief counselling resources, or documentary segments exploring themes of loss and human resilience. Particularly effective for podcast intros dealing with serious subjects, social media posts about mental health awareness, or any narrative requiring music that acknowledges pain without wallowing in it—where authentic emotion matters more than manufactured drama.

Somewhere between the vastness of interstellar space and the intimacy of human contemplation lies this remarkable sonic expedition. Rich piano harmonies anchor the composition whilst vintage synthesizer textures paint landscapes that exist only in digital dreams, creating an atmosphere that feels both expansive and surprisingly personal. The piece maintains that delicate balance between ambient spaciousness and subtle narrative tension—like watching the universe unfold in slow motion whilst drums provide just enough rhythmic confidence to suggest that humanity belongs amongst the stars. It’s contemplative without being sleepy, otherworldly without being alienating.
Perfect for technology documentaries requiring both wonder and credibility, scientific presentations where data meets imagination, and any content exploring themes of discovery without sacrificing accessibility. This track provides excellent foundation music for time-lapse sequences, educational videos about space exploration, or social media content celebrating scientific breakthroughs where the music needs to inspire curiosity rather than overwhelm with drama. Works brilliantly for establishing shots in creative projects, meditation content with futuristic themes, or any narrative where you need music that suggests infinite possibility within reach.
