Music for Drama and Personal Stories is a wide ranging description, since you can arguably use anything from hard rock to solo piano or solo cello music to illustrate personal stories. But we've tried to represent tracks here that have a certain emotional, introspective, or thoughtful side to it. Be it independent rock or orchestral / classical based music, you should find music here with an introspective feel; something that you would want to use when you are telling stories about people and their lives. This music also tends to be background music / underscores, rather than up-front music, although there are exceptions as some pop/rock music go well with personal dramas (e.g. "Grey's Anatomy)"
