What is the name for the feeling of nostalgia, loneliness, eeriness and liminality that comes when listening to songs like subwoofer lullaby? (yiffit.net)

Subwoofer lullaby from Minecraft: https://youtu.be/Gpd85y_iTxY

Please note that I'm not referring to nostalgia from having played Minecraft a long time ago. The song felt this way since I heard it the first time.

Here's another song that has a similar feeling to it https://youtu.be/usjnkZVshLc

Is there such a concept as 'liminal music'?

It's not exactly the same as frisson, I think, but it still makes me feel goosebumps sometimes

The Minecraft piece always reminded me of Eric Satie's Gymnopédie #1 https://youtu.be/TL0xzp4zzBE?si=-w9omSS-Xn_tnsZB

I'm certain you've heard it before. You may find the Wikipedia page on the compositions interesting https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gymnop%C3%A9dies?wprov=sfla1

Anyway, I think the word you're looking for is melancholy.
