When you say download 1 of the 2 songs, which 2 songs are you referring to? I see many tracks that can be downloaded from that bush of ghosts website under Download

Under "Download" there are two songs: A Secret Life and Help Me Somebody. Both contain multiple tracks to download. You will want to download all of the files, and use whichever ones you see fit, whether that be all of them or only some of them, just so you make the piece (in some way) your own.
