Nice and calm music.

[Levian]

On spotify, I have a playlist called nice and calm, and I'm looking to expand it! here's the songs on it:

Daniel Licht - Astor's Birthday Party
City and Colour - The Girl
Andrew Bird - The giant of illinois
Paper Aeroplane - Angus & Julia Stone
Jewels and Gold - Angus & Julia Stone
Over the Rainbow / What a wonderful world - Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole
Lazarus - Porcupine Tree
Sort Sol - Let your fingers do the walking

Got any good suggestions? Or rather, just use this thread to post songs that calm you. :mog:

[Tavrobel]

Pretty much half the songs on Deas Vail's All the Houses Look the Same.

Over the Rainbow / What a wonderful world - Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole


I stayed at a resort in Hawaii that played this song repeatedly for about six hours. It's a nice song, but christ.

[Rye]

Explosions in the Sky and Ane Brun tend to do it for me.

[The Man]

I find strange things relaxing, so you probably won't want my suggestions.

Eric Johnson - Cliffs of Dover (not so calm, but it does make me happy)

[I Took the Red Pill]

I'll second Explosions in the Sky, I'll add Nujabes, and if you're feeling like a videogame nerd, Yasunori Mitsuda and the Chrono Cross OST always relaxes me.
