Relaxing Music

[David Hassellhoff]

Her uncle just passed away and I'm making a cd with relaxing music for her. She likes Elton John, James Taylor, and Fleetwood Mac. For now I got Coldplay(I think she'll like them.)

[tristy]

some of nine inch nails' music from the limited edition CD, Still, is very calm. Perfect for a rainy sunday. It's quite calm, too.

Errr, I got this MP3 of a unreleased love them from Buffy. It's by Christopher Beck. Yeah.

I R Teh Suck.

[RPS]

Ben Harper.

Empowering and strong and at times it is very relaxing.

[DMN in the House]

Jack Johnson... if you go with Ben Harper, they'll fit well together.

[Guest Angry Baboon]

Sigur Ros- "Staralfur"

Neutral Milk Hotel- "Communist Daughter"

Moby- "Porcelain"

Bob Dylan- "Don't think twice, It's allright" (Though the lyrics might be a little bit umm....Upsetting, given the cirumstances)

Cat Stevens- "Moonshadow"

Cat Stevens- "Trouble"

Radiohead- "Fake Plastic Trees (Acoustic Version)"

Alice in Chains- "Don't follow"

Velvet Underground- "Sunday Morning"

[Quom]

Anything by Enya.

[Psicosis]

Air - Talkie Walkie (album)

[triplexpac]

I find Norah Jones pretty relaxing, and the old fogeys love her...

[tristy]

now that I think about it:

Sarah McLachlan's Angel

Nine Inch Nails' Adrift & At Peace, The Persistance Of Loss, A Warm Place, Gone-Still

All those NIN songs are instrumentals, so no worries about lyrics.

[Guest bruins72]

I second the suggestions of Jack Johnson, Norah Jones, and Enya. My mom is nuts about Enya. If she likes Enya, another to try is Clannad (which is tied to Enya somehow from what I hear). You might want to try some of the lighter Dave Matthews Band stuff too.

[Jook]

Goldfrapp - Felt Mountain (The whole of the album, tracks like Utopia, Lovely Head and Horse Tears)

If that isn't relaxing I don't know what is.

[R.W.]

Go with things from Dido, Katie Melua, Norah Jones, Sarah McLachlan, Sheryl Crow, Neil Finn and Coldplay.

Nice and mellow.

[Guest TheTokenWhiteGuy]

some Sigur Ros, particullarily Sven g Englar (not sure if thats the spelling), Enya

Try anything by Damien Rice, the Lemonheads, Evan Dando or the acoustic Cure stuff rocks hard (in a mellow way) Some Smashing Pumpkins stuff, mainly from Mellon Collie... - Tonight Tonight, Porcelina of the vast Oceans, Farewell and Goodnight. Also try Disarm from Siamese Dream. The acoustic version of Times Like These by the Foo Fighters is also pretty nice, I'm not usually a huge fan.

[Numbahs]

Beck's Sea Change...

I listen to it when I write. Relaxes the hell out of me.

[Hardcore Weapon Smasher]

Michael Buble. Mothers love Michael Buble.

[Underage Politician]

Xavier Rudd. Even more chilled than Jack Johnson, and that's saying something.

[Spee]

Enigma, Clannad, Enya, Damien Rice.

[GRIFT]

Japanese flute and koto music... burn up some patcholy and listen to that and you can slip into thought with ease.

Also, anything from the Cowboy Bebop Soundtrack.

[ACCBiggz]

Sweet Baby James - James Taylor
