Donnie Darko - Mad WorldGary Jules.

[Africa]

Alot of ambience is sad and/or sleepy. Really if you want sad and sleepy you are limiting your options a bit. If you want sleepy to sleep but with the absence of sad you could expand your selection. Not sure exactly what you want.

Gary Jules.

good song.

[sgrevs]

Try Sigur Ros - Vidrar Vel Til Loftarasa

Definitely one of the most beautiful songs I've ever heard. And possibly one of the greatest piano lines ever.

[DFelon204409]

Try anything by Lou Harrison when he's doing gamelan stuff. Trust me. That stuff is beautiful.

[Montana]

Mercury Rev - The Dark is Rising

Such a sad song.

You haven't heard a lot of music.
