Help find the song!
So I'm making a slide show and I need the song to be about bittersweet, life, dreams, fantasy, etc, etc. Does anyone know any songs that'll match this?
So far I have: Paradise by Coldplay, Bittersweet Life by My favorite Highway, By The Time by Mika, and Round and Round by Imagine dragons.
Also: I have Paradise, but does anyone know where I can get the other three songs by downloading? 'Cause when I get it from amazon or itunes, I can't upload it to Scratch 'cause it's the wrong format or something.
Thanks for the help!
Edit: Thank you everyone who gave me suggestions! But I think I should get a little more specific: The songs can't be classic, they can be old just not too old, and they can't be from movies.

Re: Help find the song!
A downloaded song in mp3 format should be in a format use able with Scratch. I use mp3 songs in my projects just fine.

Re: Help find the song!
Try downloading Audacity and exporting each file as a WAV

Re: Help find the song!
Try converting to .wav using Audacity. This always works.
As for song choice, maybe you could Long Long Long by the Beatles?

Re: Help find the song!
Just a speculation: if you're getting them from Amazon and iTunes, then some kind of copy protection may be giving you problems. Import/exporting may be a way around it.

Neither actually has DRM; iTunes just uses AAC and I don't know what's up with Amazon's files.

Re: Help find the song!
Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds by The Beatles is pretty dream-ish feeling, I suppose, and fantastical.
Dream A Little Dream by Louis Armstrong
Somewhere Over The Rainbow - girl from Wizard of Oz
It's My Life - Bon Joiv
Circle Of Life - Elton John
Piano Man - Billy Joel
Don't know if those all fit what you're looking for. I didn't suggest too many but hopefully at least one fits the criteria.
I'm glad to think that the community will always be kind and helpful, the language will always be a fun and easy way to be introduced into programming, the motto will always be: Imagine, Program, Share - Nomolos

Thanks, but I can't use that website...Does anyone know of a website where I can just download a song instead of using a converter thing?

Any site like that would be illegal and therefore not allowed to be posted here.

It's not illegal if you have to pay for it...

Oh, I thought you meant freely.
Here are links to the albums of the three you said you needed on 7digital (which sells DRM-free MP3s):

Re: Help find the song!
I'd suggest Strobe by deadmau5 - it has a atmospheric and peaceful theme to it. And it's ten minutes long!
Also - there are lots of youtube - mp3 converters out on the web. Just use them respectfully.

Thank you! But before I go spending the money, you're positive it'll upload to Scratch?

Before you spend the money you might find the following site interesting. Free, royalty free music.

That won't have "songs" on it though.

I am like 99% positive it will. I would recommend downloading the cheapest one and testing it on that first.

Re: Help find the song!
Thanks for all the help guys! But if anyone has any other suggestions, I'd love to hear it! And I would like actual songs, I get all of my other music stuff from Newgrounds. And I love the music I get from Newgrounds, it's just not the type of thing I want for this project.
