Im trying to come up with a list of soft, mellow sad songs... no bitterness or depression, just a sweet, gentle melancholy. Any ideas?

Nice one Paul... thats what Im thinking of.. soft acoustic stuff. Will have to checkout fairport convention as well.

I was thinking
melancholy man by the moody blues,
leaves that are green by simon & garfunkel,
Senorita with a Necklace of Tears by Paul Simon
Romeo and Juliet by Dire Straits

Some of the Iron and Wine stuff is pretty good. Like Naked As We Came and Cinder And Smoke.
or there's

My Ex-Lover Is Dead by Stars

Anything by Antony and The Johnsons - Frankenstien and Forest Of Love are really prettily sad (or sadly pretty)

Singing In My Soul by Fly My Pretties is gorgeous and mellow and sad but sweet too.
Shouldn't I Know is fantastic as well, possibly my favourite song by them.

The Dress Looks Nice On You by Surfjan Stevens is another good one.

Not all of these are acoustic, but they are of the mellow, dreamy, variety.

i strongly STRONGLY reccommend just about anything by God Speed You Black Emperor! especially dead flag blues and sad mafiaso (some parts can be a little eerie, but definitely sad and melodic, lots of instrumental)

Poems by Tricky.

Dreamed of ringing voices,
And contemplated choices.
Taste like a fresh kiss,
To heighten my awareness.
With all fairness, greatness, with gratitude.
And simply rhymes with attitude
Now do promotion and TV, and ya still can't see.
Down the hill cascade
And keep away the masquerade,
Dreamed of ringing voices,
And you promised me poems
