Music To Relax To
We all have certain albums or artists we put on to wind down after a long day, when we're trying to go to sleep, or just zoning out for a while. For me, currently, it's the Lost In Translation soundtrack as well as anything by Amos Lee and Norah Jones.
So what's yours? This ISN'T per se your favorite artist or album, but moreso music that helps you relax.
Take care all.
DJ Shadow, Explosions in the Sky, Project Divinity, Nike Drake and a select few MCM songs.
I would say Explosions in the Sky but their songs have a tendency to suddenly explode into sound, which tends to not help me relax XD
I'd say: Lemon Jelly, Massive Attack and Seven Swans by Sufjan Stevens.
"Excuse me Miss, do you like pineapple?"
The "Come Away With Me" album by Norah Jones tends to help we relax quite a bit... Music by Katie Melua has the same effect one me.
I think listening to music in general helps me relax, but obviously more upbeat stuff doesn't work as well. I'd say Final Fantasy IV Celtic Moon, Norah Jones, Sting, and Mark Knopfler are all good listens for a mellow mood. Some Snow Patrol and Vertical Horizon songs are good, too, but they also have some faster stuff.
Broken Social Scene - Feel Good Lost.
The whole album is just so mellow.
Joe Hisaishi, select songs from Nubuo (Potion I and II come to mind as do select songs from the numerous Piano Collections and the Celtic Moon album), Michael Hedges, select songs from the many Myst soundtracks, the Morrowind OST, Chrono Symphonic, some Zelda Orchestral variations of the Zelda:OoT and MM, Ravi Shankar, Chanticleer, and a rough Guide to Sufi Music.
...
Final fantasy & KH music (i.e. Twilight Town).
Str8 Pimpin'
Nujabes, fat jon, Tsutchie, and Shing02. Very relaxing.
Death Cab For Cutie, definitely, and The Postal Service. Explosions in the Sky too. And I guess some of the more mellow Brand New.
Ah, Devin Townsend and the Ocean Machine - Biomech album also is a good one.
William Orbit, The Eagles, Bob Marely.
Yes, definitely. That soundtrack is brilliance. Anyways, onto mine:Originally Posted by The Captain
