Strangely unique, quirky, odd-ball tracks for film, videos or games

These 11 highly original, odd, quirky tracks of sparse, oddball soundtrack music will give your production character and bring smiles from your audience.

Some of these royalty free music tracks have a 'dark, but curiously fun' type feel and will go really well with quirky and dark comedy or Halloween type games and videos, period settings with rickety old houses, perhaps haunted houses, weird phenomena or mystical stories? 

There are also some tracks on here that are just upbeat, quirky, strange and curious fun, and a little bit wacky.

All tracks are available in many different cuts, edits and versions; including underscore versions (meaning a version without the lead / solo instruments), some versions without percussion (useful in some applications) seamless loops and Stingers (very short versions, for transitions, splash-screens, in/out of commercial break, etc).

All in all there are 121 music files (from 11 different main compositions).

The price of the music collection includes a license to use the music commercially and in public, as per our License.

This downloadable product is a 1.08 GB .zip file containing all the tracks in full CD-quality uncompressed WAV files (16-bit, 44.1 khz). High Definition (24-bit) audio files are available on request.

Take deep breaths as u hide
be brave with tears in your eyes
Soon we’ll make our escape
swiftly into the night

Lost but not caught
Forget me not
run  and don’t stop
’til it’s over
he laughed as he said
“I’m worth more if I’m dead,
keep your eye on the prize
’til it’s over.”

Battered not broken
left for dead if outspoken
obedience keeps us alive
Planning and waiting
our final escape we’ll
do what we must to survive

Waiting to escape

’til it’s over

Battered not broken

do what we must to survive

Waiting To Escape (A 5/4 Rock Song)

A future retro-wave feel. Lots of synths, pads, FX, keyboards, distant guitars, all helped along with a solid pumping synth drumming.

OUT OF TIME

Another sort of rag tag bar room favorite. It’s was written in a series of “ make em drink “ songs for bar gigs. Me , Ledge and Larry live in the studio. 
 This recording is early on in the process of song evolution.. the tempo is slower than I play it nowadays. It kind of got out of hand really… someday I’ll re-record and produce it how I heard it when I wrote it. Cover Art by Kyle Liggett.

Monkey see monkey do if I’m guilty so are you
Tried to kick it say goodbye 
I just can’t do it and I don’t know why 
Temptation always following me home 
I just can’t leave it alone 

I tried to throw it in the trash 
But I found it in my stash 
Tried to kick down the stairs 
I just keep seeing it everywhere 
Temptation breaks me down on my way home 
I just can’t leave it alone 

They say do it, it feels good 
But you’d stop it if you could 
So you do it privately 
Hide the evidence carefully 
But that guilty look will always make it known 
You know I just can’t leave it alone

Temptation

I completed this track last May. Although I hadn’t felt like sharing it, I thought it was important to include it in the tracks I’ve finished this year. It’s an unusual track to me because it evokes a sense of hiding from the spotlight. It mentions superheroes battling villains and captures a unique intensity. I’m not sure how this peculiar track will be received, but it does seem to have a strong emotional impact, even if it’s not as upbeat as some of my more recent tracks. I also created a music video for it with some interesting imagery which briefly shared and again now:

Hiding out from the Spotlight 
Go from street to street  
Corner to corner 
Aisle to aisle all before the escape 
Scurry down the hillside 
trailing meadow disguise my cape
One time I found my bearings 
Won’t be long until the return 

Oh yeah yeah yeah 
Where is the spotlight
Find my way over 
Oh yeah yeah yeah 
Why are the answers
Always 
in front of me 

One can bring one can try 

Gliding out with super powers
Now this ancient city trusts me 
Battle to battle 
Counting the hours
Waiting to save the day 
All the villians running for cover
They all fail to make their run
They all never had no fun and 
can’t take ours away
If I can’t make this journey
What will be left to return 

Oh yeah yeah yeah 
Where is the spotlight
Find my way over 
Oh yeah yeah yeah 
Why are the answers
Always 
in front of me 


Hiding out - from the spotlight beams 
See them silhouette the dark sky
through the mountains they make pathways
Looking for one they’ll just have to wait 
until the return  
Hiding out - battling villains with steel
Save the city from being burned

Spotlight

"Five Hundred Friends" is a poignant acoustic reflection on modern loneliness in the age of social media. Through carefully crafted verses and intimate vocal delivery, the song explores the irony of being more connected yet more isolated than ever. It follows a narrator who can scroll through hundreds of friends' daily updates but still eats dinner alone. The track builds from personal observations to a powerful bridge questioning our digital facades, all while maintaining a gentle, coffee house acoustic style. Without judgment, it invites listeners to consider the difference between digital connections and real relationships, asking whether our pursuit of virtual friendship might be costing us authentic human connection.

Five Hundred Friends

Music takes me to new worlds. Life is the best teacher. Writing about life is a challenge and experience is what guides me. Loves, pains, disappointments, sadness, joy, despair, hope, melancholy, happiness, all these feelings burn in my veins and make me create.
