Its Over
STYE641 · Minor Key Guitar · David Godfrey
2:26·64 bpm·C#m·2 versions
Underscore, EmotionalCalm, Drama, Dramatic

Solo guitar at 64 BPM in C# minor, short at under two and a half minutes and built for a scene that has already ended badly. The playing stays quiet and unhurried, more resigned than grieving, with the minor key doing the emotional work rather than any swell.

Overcast
STYE641 · Minor Key Guitar · David Godfrey
3:05·58 bpm·Gm·2 versions
Underscore, EmotionalCalm, Drama, Dramatic

A slow 58 BPM solo guitar piece in G minor, three minutes of overcast, low-lit fingerpicking that holds a single mood without brightening. Suits grey weather footage, a character alone in a house, or a documentary passage covering loss.

Seen Some Better Days
STYE641 · Minor Key Guitar · David Godfrey
3:27·72 bpm·Dm·2 versions
Underscore, EmotionalCalm, Drama, Dramatic

At 72 BPM in D minor this is one of the more forward-moving cues on the set, a solo guitar with enough pulse to carry a walking shot or a passing-time sequence. The mood is worn-down but not defeated, fitting hard-luck stories and small-town portraits.

A Tear For Me
STYE641 · Minor Key Guitar · David Godfrey
3:04·67 bpm·Em·2 versions
Underscore, EmotionalCalm, Drama, Dramatic

E minor solo guitar at 67 BPM, three minutes of openly tearful, introspective playing aimed straight at a moment of private grief. Works under a confession, a hospital scene or a memorial sequence where the picture needs no ornamentation.

The Days After
STYE641 · Minor Key Guitar · David Godfrey
2:43·60 bpm·Cm·2 versions
Underscore, EmotionalCalm, Drama, Dramatic

A hushed 60 BPM guitar in C minor covering the aftermath — quiet, somber and deliberately undramatic across two and three-quarter minutes. Fits the day-after footage of a disaster, an empty room, or a recovery narrative just beginning.

Long Distance Love
STYE641 · Minor Key Guitar · David Godfrey
2:16·69 bpm·Am·2 versions
Underscore, EmotionalCalm, Drama, Dramatic

Solo guitar in A minor at 69 BPM, the shortest cue here at just over two minutes and the most song-like in its longing. Suited to a long-distance relationship story, a goodbye at a station, or a short-form emotional edit.

A Dark Earth
STYE641 · Minor Key Guitar · David Godfrey
2:49·58 bpm·F#m·2 versions
Underscore, EmotionalCalm, Drama, Dramatic

The heaviest-toned cue on the album: F# minor solo guitar at 58 BPM, dark and earthbound rather than sentimental. Use it under bleak landscape footage, an investigation reveal, or a period drama scene of hardship.

Head Held High
STYE641 · Minor Key Guitar · David Godfrey
2:49·82 bpm·Bm·2 versions
Underscore, EmotionalCalm, Drama, Dramatic

At 82 BPM in B minor this is the briskest and most upright track on the set, a solo guitar that keeps its minor sadness but moves with purpose. Good for a resilience narrative, a training or rebuilding montage, or the moment a character walks out and keeps going.

Missing You
STYE641 · Minor Key Guitar · David Godfrey
3:09·49 bpm·Dm·2 versions
Underscore, EmotionalCalm, Drama, Dramatic

The slowest cue here at 49 BPM in D minor, over three minutes of sparse, almost suspended solo guitar with wide space between phrases. Ideal for absence — an empty chair, an old photograph, a long silence between two people — and it leaves plenty of room for narration.

Minutes Counted
STYE641 · Minor Key Guitar · David Godfrey
3:45·58 bpm·Am·2 versions
Underscore, EmotionalCalm, Drama, Dramatic

The longest track on the album at 3:45, an A minor solo guitar at 58 BPM whose steady picking suits time running out. Works as an extended bed for a countdown, a deathbed or waiting-room scene, or a documentary chapter needing sustained quiet tension.
