Have you guessed it?

The tone is MELANCHOLY.

Subdued

Subdued means "quiet and rather reflexive" or "soft and restrained."

City: Wichita, Kansas is subdued because I've lived there, and it's a lot calmer than most cities, and the farmland is quiet and peaceful.

Song: I picked "Hallelujah" because even though the song is sad, it's still quiet.

Character: Ben from "Lost" is subdued because he manages to appear relatively emotionless in all situations. He could be about to get shot or about to shot someone, and always has the same calm look.

Clothing

Turtleneck sweaters are subdued because they are low key and suggest a calm nature of the wearer.

Bread is calming to an upset stomach.

The sublimity of oceans and the beauty of nature is often calming and settling for people.

Sorry that they are all links, I couldn't format them right as pictures and video.

Cynical

City: New Yorkers, what are they really doing up there?

Song: You're So Vain

Character: Lawyers. They have no souls, or conscience.

Clothing: Sunglasses hide a persons eyes, and their expressions.

Food: As cynical as it can be. It's all a lie.

Picture: Why would you doubt it?

Mournful

City- Utøya, Norway, where the mass shooting took place a few months ago. It's actually an island, not a city.

Song - "Goshen" by Beirut

Photograph - This photograph, taken by James Filo, of students who were at a protest at Kent State University when the National Guard fired into the crowd.

Piece of clothing - a black umbrella (if that counts as clothing)

Food - Lobster. To cook them you have to boil them alive, which makes me sad, so I find the dish kind of mournful.

Character - Teddy Daniels from the movie Shutter Island (played by Leonardo DiCaprio)
