Mourning the Lost quest in Greenshade, what is the melody?

I just played through the Greenshade zone in the Aldmeri Dominion and found a quest called Mourning the Lost, in the quest you play a flute to find Erinel. Playing the flute spawns a wisp-like thing that floats through the air and plays a very nice melody, the thing is I am quite sure I know that melody from somewhere.

So the question I have is, what melody is it?
"Madness is a bitter mercy, perhaps, but a mercy nonetheless."

    Yeah... Thats it. I played Oblivion recently and that lovely tune is fresh on my mind. Here it is if anybody wishes to listen.

    *oof. I never can get links right. Guess you'll just have to click it. If someone would repost the link where the video would show that would be greatly appreciated.
    *Ooooh. Fixed it. Enjoy.

    If you have a smartphone try downloading an app called "Soundhound" and activate it's listen capability while the melody is playing. If you happen to know the melody by memory and can carry a tune just hum or whistle it while Soundhound listens.

    Just found a youtube clip of the quest and used Soundhound while it was playing. It had no results :( I'll keep poking around for an answer.

    Sounds familiar, can't quite place it.
    Will say idiots who make the yootube clips need to actually shut up, I really don't want to hear them natter about nothing.

    Edit~ I just don't want to hear comments like "Mudcrab meat tastes so delicious" and other mind numbing rot. First two clips I found I turned off after fifteen seconds because of Drivel like that.
    Third Clip was by a lovely Japanese sounding lady who just said where she was going and why, and what she was doing. It was excellent, no mindless banter, just what was needed. I wish everyone did clips like that

    Not sure if that's a preexisting song. Seems like a bit of wandering.

    If it is preexisting song, it might be part of a duet, in which certain parts are missing.

    "In 2014, a possible bot was sent to coldharbour by a military GM for a crime she didn't commit. This argonian promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Ebonheart underground. Today, still wanted by the developers she survive as soldiers of fortune. If you have a bot problem, if no one else can bite you, and if you can find her....maybe you can hire The SQUISHY."

    I think the familiarity is just the generic Celtic melody...

    Closest I got was Mc Crimmens Lament which inevitably led me to...

    and I think that's an excellent place to stop and just listen

    I do not hear any similarities between the melody I am searching for and the one you linked, you can listen to the melody here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jlgdfVpe67Y from 1:20-2:35.

    This is what the melody reminds me of. Not the whole thing, but that are parts that share similarity.

    The real dilemma is that; Powdered doughnuts are overpowdered, the chocolate doughnuts are too chocolaty, and the coconut crunch doughnuts have more coconut than all other doughnuts. This is OUTRAGEOUSLY unfair to other doughnuts!

    So from now on, all you special snowflakes get is nasty plain doughnuts...enjoy!

    Can I get the link to that Japanese sounding lady of which you mentioned?

    People keep telling me they're gonna buy me an ale. They never do.

    There are only two things I can't stand in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's culture. And the Elves.

    The music during that was real pretty. Now I'm interested. xD

    Thank you very much, I just found the file and I agree that this must be why I find it to be so familiar.
