You might like the OST from Chocolat, or (this is more of a stretch), The moon and antarctica by Modest Mouse. If that is too uptempo, you could try the Sun Kil Moon cover album of Modest Mouse, Tiny Cities

dr_yeti@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you ever had the realization mid-argument, that you were very wrong?201·3 months agoOne where I realized I was wrong three times. My wife and I had visited a modern art museum. One of the installations was a pile of candy in the corner. We got home, I said it’s ridiculous to call that art, and ridiculous to fund artists to create lazy, self-indulgent nonsense. She convinced me that I am in no position to arbitrate what is or isn’t art (she is right, of course). Then I realized she wasn’t arguing about art, she was upset about something that had happened at work (that was my second miss).
Twenty years later I found out what that candy is all about. It was a piece by Felix Gonzalez Torres called “Untitled (Portrait of Ross in LA) 1991” It is 175 lbs of candy that patrons are free to take. It represents his lover, Ross Laycock, who had wasted away from AIDS earlier that year (Gonzalez Torres would die from AIDS six years later). So long as there is funding for the arts, Ross is replenished endlessly. For the third miss, I was Oedipean-level wrong.
I totally agree, but I’m not sure OPs notion of ‘cold’ is the same as ours.
