Music to mellow to

I am spending this evening vegging out listening to calming tunes (there's another post about over-stimulation and more of my endless questions coming up). So I thought we might want to share some tunes with each other that we like listening to when we need to keep calm after a busy day. Plus I love finding new music. Some of mine are...

White Sky - Vampire Weekend
Ottoman - Vampire Weekend
Morcheeba - The Sea (actually, the whole Big Calm album)
Anything at all by Enya
Bach's cantatas
Lost Horizons album - Lemon Jelly

I recommend an Australian singer named Missy Higgins. Her first album, The Sound of White, is amazing and I love to listen to her music when I am just chillin out. There are also some good youtube videos by Missy Higgins that you might enjoy.

Great Topic.
I like to listen to:
- any music by Milladoiro, a folk music group from Spain
- Gregorian Chant by the Benedictine Monks of Santo Domingo de Silos.
- A CD called "Sacred Treasures-Choral Masterworks from Russia"

A mistake I am making right now is having the TV turned on to the news while I'm trying to do other things. The national and international news is frightful right now. It and multi-tasking is not conducive to being calm and mellow.

Enya by all means.
I also have a playlist called "Slow Jams" with Janet Jackson's ballads.
Some Massive Attack.
Everything But The Girl.

And if all else fails, Slayer. I don't know why that is but at my most stressful periods Reign in Blood is the only thing to calm me down -- cranked all the way up in headphones.

The Eagles:
Hotel California
Peaceful Easy Feeling
Take it to the Limit

I also like a more recent hit called
Habits by Tove Lo, reminds me of "feeling" bipolar

This is a great thread!
Philip Glass has been some of the most psychologically and spiritually beneficial music to me. There's something about it that's just incredibly calming. I'd highly recommend it to anyone, even if they don't listen to classical music.

Following the post by njohns - Thomas Tallis is also great for the same reason. Also Spiegel im Spiegel but I don't know who it's by

Kaleidoscope Heart - Sara Bareilles
In Your Light - Jon Allen
Our Love - Nina Simone
Little Fluffy Clouds - The Orb
Return To Innocence - Enigma
Marble Halls - Enya
How Great Thou Art - Johnny Cash
Miserere Mei, Deus - Allegri
The Lamb - Tavener
In Paradisum - Faure
Stabat Mater - Pergolesi

These are just a few but they are def ones that I can chill to

Cracked

I believe that's Arvo Part. He's another good one.

I like listening to music like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z6ih1aKeETk. It definitely helps chill me out if I'm feeling to sped up to sleep or otherwise relax.
