Really relaxing songs

(I used the search button, but I don't feel like digging up a thread from December)

What songs do you play when you just want to shut off your brain and relax, and why?

For me, it has to be "Comfortably Numb" by Pink Floyd, that song recently helped me through some emotional troubles, when things got too tense, I just played this song and relaxed. It's calm, almost enchanting and "trippy" in a way.

(I am also aware of Pink Floyds deep lyrics, so no need to bash me for shutting off my brain when I listen to this song, some times, you don't wanna think)

 

[RollForInitiative]

My ambient take-a-breather of choice is Less Likely to Believe, by Falling You.

 

[HotShooter]

Walking on the Sun by Smashmouth. Not sure why it just does.

 

[VitalSigns]

Karma Police by Radiohead is an extremely mellow song.

also any of the "Chill" bands I listen too. (Bedouin Soundclash, death cab for cutie, White Lies, etc)

Servant-"Cells". It was the song used in the trailer for Sin City, and it just completely chills me out when I get home from work.

Anything by Explosions in the Sky or Owl City.

Oh good call!

Time is running out - Muse

 

[Time Travelling Toaster]

Fix You - Coldplay and Hallelujah - John Cole, I find both of these very relaxing

Nearly anything by Air. Brilliant music to chill out to.

Any kind of Celtic music. As for an individual song, Learn to be Still by the Eagles is very nice.

 

[Malevolent Stranger]

Mad World: Gary Jules

Great pick. im not gonna bash you for shutting ur brain off. Its funny, i was watching roger water's the wall live in berlin and he does an amazing version of this with Van Morrison and The Band. mine would be either Say Hello 2 Heaven by Temple of the Dog (Chris Cornell is amazing. one of the greatest vocal performances I have ever heard), or Pearl Jam's Better Man. Both are amazing songs.
