Music Playlist: Acoustic Melancholy

All of these acoustic tracks have a current of pensive despair running through them in some way, whether musically or lyrically. We gave a lot of thought to each song added and only the very best made the cut. I only hope you enjoy it as much as we do. Your likely to find something you love that you haven't heard before.
