If you know the song This place is a Prison by The Postal Service then you know what i mean by soft music. Does anyone know any other songs that are similar to this in the sort of soft melancholy feel kinda way?

I've never heard of that group, but if you're looking for fairly melancholy music I would suggest Anathema's newest albums.

This is a great acoustic version of one of my favorite songs by the band.

How about:
Bon Iver
example , example , example

Iron & Wine
example , example

Not exactly what you posted though. (and I wasn't sure of what to post for Iron & Wine; Bon Iver only has an album and an EP, Iron & Wine has... more)

Edit: Maybe Death Cab For Cutie? The guy's voice at the end of that This Place is a Prison song reminded me of them.

It's the same vocalist :P Anyways @TC I'm completely sick of Postal Service, but I enjoyed them in my day. I'll update this post if I actually think of any recommendations but definitely give deathcab a shot - the albums Transcendentalism and Plans especially.

EDIT: Try Gin Blossoms - really nice, melodic soft rock, catchy but still pretty decent musicianship, great group.

The Death Cab for Cutie resemblance maybe because the main singer is the same from The Postal Service; Ben Gibbard. :o

I recommend Elliott Smith, The Microphones, Neutral Milk Hotel, Iron & Wine, like mentioned, is a great choice, and so is Mount Eerie.
