I'm in search for some gloomy music for them lonely days I'm in a blue mood and was hoping you could help me out with some more ideas.
Not for dancing, but just for listening to. Preferrably 20's to 30's.
I want the haunting, moody, dismal, spooky, that might also fit in a ghost cartoon with Betty Boop or Flip the Frog.
Suggestive without being sultry. Think slow drag in a room full of Dementors...
This is what I've come up with so far. They're not all a perfect match, but still in the range of what I'm after.
