Use of "Melancholy" and " Seamy"

I don't think I'd ever hear melancholy spoken although that doesn't mean no one ever uses it.
Seamy will get spoken sometimes.

Some melancholy music that you suggest me?

Actually yes that's true we might say melancholy music... I was thinking more of a person's state of mind

I think you are more likely to hear eg sad music.

In the US, melancholy would be very rare in everyday speech. Seamy would almost never be heard in everyday speech, because most people wouldn't know what it means (I myself am not even sure what it means).

Mr. TomI would like to know how common the words "melancholy" and "seamy" are among native speakers as far as spoken English is concerned?

I would classify both as "rare".

CliveI don't see anything wrong with melancholy as an adjective. Nor does my dictionary.

I stand corrected.
No joke there; just my mistake.
