Calming songs

Kid A (the song)

 

[MissVelvetDress_75]

Ooh I just thought of another one!

Gravity - Coldplay

I learn something new every time I visit this part of the board. Until last night, I had never heard of this song, so I Googled it and listened to both versions of it, the Coldplay one and the Embrace one. I ended up learning more about a song I never knew about just by opening up this thread. Good one.

Kid A (the song)

That entire album was built for this time of year, when the sun's intensity is fading, and the cooler air is creeping in. That's especially true of the title track...if you listen during a walk, I swear the leaves and trees come alive. Even the sidewalks take on new meaning.

Not necessarily 'beach' music...maybe 'uniquely calming,' for lack of a better description.

 

[No spoken words]

Every word is a symphony.

Won't you believe me?

Sailing, by Christopher Cross.

Deal with it.

Is that the best that you can do?

"I'm Still Here" by Tom Waits
"Pacific Theme" by Broken Social Scene
"30 Century Man" by Scott Walker
"Pillow of Winds" by Pink Floyd
"These Days" by Nico

are some relaxing songs for me.

I love it when that happens! I don't even know the Embrace one. Guess I'll youtube it.

YouTube - Duran Duran - Save a Prayer

I loved this as a kid...

 

[cobl04]

Other calming Beatles songs for me are Mother Nature's Son, Here Comes The Sun and Because

Because does a great job

"All day long I'm sitting singing songs for everyone..."

Yup, great song. And definitely calming/soothing. Good call.

It's a great album actually, got everything on it, and a number of claming soothing songs.

 

[cobl04]

Good to see two mentions for A Pillow of Winds. I love that song

 

[coemgen]

I've been listening to Bon Iver a lot lately.

Otherworldly.

Ivy - Edge of the ocean


very calming

this song will make you feel like you're here

 

[IWasBored]

most explosions in the sky
there's some aphex twin too
but really, give me angry hardcore any time for "calming" music over chill stuff. not much is more soothing than blood for blood.

IWasBored listens to I'm Seeing Red to help her go to sleep at night.

 

[Earl-Of-IMDb]

listen to Jack Johnson and Jakob Dylan, there are superb in calming music, have you heard the soundtrack for either Juno or Dan In Real Life? super calming!

 

[IWasBored]

IWasBored listens to I'm Seeing Red to help her go to sleep at night.

and sheer terror "just can't hate enough."
