Music for Video: Bring May Flowers

art by arimoore (flickr/cc by-nc-sa)

A mix of songs that are inspired, euphoric, and a little flirty. Tracks that remind you that it's getting warmer outside every day, and things are starting to grow.

As a follow up to our moody April Showers Mix, a collection of instrumentals for new loves, new creative challenges, and that feeling when the air outside perfectly matches your body temperature. A mix for noticing flowers on trees. For when all the girls start wearing skirts without tights again, and you leave your jacket at home. Let's go outside and enjoy every minute together.

1. Springtide (website, CC BY-NC-SA) - You just got home from high school, and your favorite show is on TV. What it sounds like to think about moving to California. For more permissions contact the artist.

2. Small Colin (website, CC BY-SA) - This song adds the right amount of significance to anything you pair with it. Try playing this while you tell a boring story. See? Contact the artist for more permissions.

3. Asthmatic Astronaut (website, CC BY-NC-SA) - Dancing while you wait. This track is just a minute long, and will leave you wanting so much more. Contact the artist for more permissions.

4. Plurabelle (website, CC BY-NC-SA) - Growing confidence. The sound of trying something for the first time, full of caution, curiosity, and hope, and then finding out you're pretty good at this.

5. Mermonte (website, CC BY-NC-SA) - Indie instrumental with joyful bells and shakers. The Mermonte album art shows a girl in a blue dress, walking on a beach alone and barefoot. Vocals enter about a minute into the song.

6. Origami Repetika (website, CC BY-NC) - This track is rooftop party tested, and evening air approved.

Hey guys, great to see this portal here. However, after having spent a large amount of time recently using FMA to find CC music for a video project, what I wanted most was additional search and browse capabilities.

It's nice to curate mixes of tracks to sync, but most producers are already going to have a specific mood or emotion they're trying to convey with the soundtrack. It was really hard to find "just the right song" to fit into my video.

So what I'd really like to see is a faceted browse by genre, where I can for instance, browse chill-out electronica, and then filter the results to only include those with the appropriate license for video sync.

Alternately, a browse by tag plus license filter would also be useful.

Love your work here, just trying to be helpful. Thanks for what you do!

Hello everybody,

I downloaded this song "Five Minutes at the Rainforest Cafe" but now I can't find the author and I would like to use this music for a non commercial video of an artist friend of mine...

Could someone help me?

Thanks

Hi everyone,

I'm producing an indie "short" film and I'm looking to license a track from FMA to use in a "campaign" video on indiegogo.com.

Assuming we're able to raise the funds to produce our film, we will then submit the "short" to festivals . . . Does this still apply uner the non-commercial use? Can anyone advise?

spearmint64 on 05/12/12 at 06:15AM

Hi, I'm a new user and I feel like I've stumbled on a goldmine resource with this part of the site... and indeed the entirety of FMA. Thanks!

However, I second splendidmike's suggestion that the 'music for video' section would work better if you could see all of these tracks in one list.

But yes, thanks for providing this amazing resource, I'm reccommending to everyone.

Josteye316 on 05/30/12 at 02:07AM

This is a great resource and love that its available.

I would imagine the music is okay to use on demo-reels right?

If anyone could clear that up for me it would be great. I just want to cut a montage of my productions together to a good track and want to make sure I have the rights to do so.

Thanks.

How can I show my music (CC) to you?

We're working on some new features and layouts for this video portal, but in the meantime we've added a list of all of the tracks featured over the years in our 'Tracks to Sync' series at the top of this page. Just click on "View All" next to Recently Added Highlights.

I agree with everything splendidmike said, if that was taken care of I believe thos website would be top in no time.

We'd love everyone's feedback on the FMA Library Tagging project:

http://bit.ly/Ukp2JK

Right now, we're trying to come up with a concise but comprehensive list of Mood and Instrumentation tags that will be most helpful in your quest to find "just the right song".

splendidmike, spearmind64, pedromiguel: we hear ya and thanks for your feedback so far!
