Relaxing Songs, Albums, Musicians...

[aoEAF2FBvC0MIo2Q 3,673]

Can you bring up songs that you find relaxing? It can also be an album or a band/musician.

 

For me, it'ls mostly Kammarheit which is in the Dark Ambient genre of music. Here's one of the soundtracks.

 

 

So what do you listen to when you just want to calm down?

[Delirium 208]

Biosphere's Substrata album is pretty relaxing. It's an ambient album.

 

[Soldier Surplus 232]

Calling- The World End With You soundtrack by: Leah

 

[GGG 176]

mac miller, well mostly his last 3 projects (macadellic, WMWTSO and faces) with some exceptions.

[ReverseFaller 2,483]

I've always found the song "Inner Universe" (Ghost in the Shell song) to be rather relaxing.

 

[TheAnonOne 48]

I tend to find a lot of the music by Phil Collins and Genesis very relaxing for example 

 

Also thought I would drop this off here with it

 

Absolutely love Christian Bale describing Genesis here, great movie also.

[Obsolete 681]

Memories of Green from the Blade Runner soundtrack comes to mind. Maybe it's because it's got the word "memories" in the title, but it always gets me thinking about the past. It's a very wistful, nostalgic piece for me.

 

 

I tend to find a lot of the music by Phil Collins and Genesis very relaxing for example

 

Genesis is my favorite band, but I don't really think of something like Invisible Touch as relaxing. From the Collins era, I'd say songs like One for the Vine or Entangled fit the bill better.

 

[~Asuka <3~ 867]

Fjara by Sólstafir is absolutely fantastic.  

 

 

Damn, I Wish I Was a Man by Cindy Lee Berryhill is also a fantastic choice. 

 

[honk friend 1,978]

Well first off, a few from my personal favorite singer (Marco Hietala) are pretty relaxing I think.

 

this for example

 

most of the time though when I'm going for relaxing music, I'll either go for classical music or doom metal.

I don't see how people haven't posted this yet!! 

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,161]

While plenty of E.S. Posthumus' stuff is more epic, there are plenty of pieces that can be classified as relaxing; especially on the album Cartographer.

 

[Khaoios 1,970]

If you guys want to listen to some soft music, look up Paul Hardcastle.  His smooth jazz is just calm and beautiful,

"I WANNA KNOW WHAT LOVE IIISSSSSSS!!!!! I WANT YOU TO SHOW MEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!"

 

[ReGen 1,466]

If any of you know me, then you already know who i'll say.

 

 

Really anything from Dilla's early discography is relaxing. Simple, yet effective!

 

Nujabes is also a prime example of great relaxing music.

Daisuke Tanabe is my go-to artist for relaxing sounds,

 

[Kay Dreamer 884]

Depends on what kind of mood I'm in, but Pat Metheny and Joe Hisaishi are two composers I often queue up if I feel I'd like to relax a little.

Very good pieces; though I could only hear so much due to being at work. Still though, that first surprise me as I didn't know what to expect. Nice.

 

And the piano in the Spirited Away track. <3

[Darker 1,351]

Most, if not all of Enya's songs.

 

Also this masterpiece:

 

[Flytee 237]

Bon Iver

Ray Lamontage

Postal Service

Death Cab for a cutie

"Where the wild things are" Original sound track

Studio Ghilbi sounds tracks always help relax me as well http://8tracks.com/explore/studio_ghibli

[Frostgage 7,975]

Here's one of my absolute favorite songs. After the first track, the entire "There Is Nothing Left To Lose" album is very relaxing.

 

 

This one is pretty relaxing too.

[Princess Periwinkle 3,775]

This is one of my favorites off the soundtrack. After the first 2 seconds, it's very relaxing and peaceful. Empowers the imagination.
