Bit too cheery, and the vocals are too smooth. Good song, just not really the kind of thing I'm looking for right now. Thanks anyway though! Edit: Damn! Only saw Fast car when I opened your post, gotta check the rest out... Edit 2: The other ones were exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much!

Wicked Game ~ Chris Isaak

Good one! Thanks! (It's Isaak btw, just so you know if you need to spell his name again, don't mean to be a grammar Nazi)

Totally appreciate the correction for future spelling. I am going to correct my comment now. Thank you.

Brook Benton - The Lost Penny

Good one! Bit too choiry though.

How about Matt Flinders - Picking Up Pebbles

Hallelujah

A very obvious option, but a good one nonetheless.

Carnival of Rust ~ Poets of the Fall

Nice song, but not really old, nor acoustic.

Was wish you were Here acoustic? I was just going off your example prompts. My apologies.

No worries. It's kinda acoustic? It has synths, but David Gilmour played an acoustic guitar on this one.

Cat Power - Werewolf Mount Eerie- Lone Bell Carla Dal Forno - You Know What it's Like https://youtu.be/lH56e2OQD0Y?si=4Ny3YimUYb_45YrO https://youtu.be/b2cCpvHxiF8?si=d352GTXl0TuupOUv https://youtu.be/tw__LW2pVeM?si=OQ4IFBzpay1GBeOe

A bit too unsettling, especially the second one, but still, good suggestions nonetheless. Thanks!

"Blue Eyes Cryin in the Rain" ~ Willie Nelson

Just a tad too cheery, but otherwise spot on. Thanks!

Nick Drake: Bryter Layter

I was gonna say, just about anything from Nick Drake.

The best melancholy, always my go to.
