You know those relaxing, calm songs that make you feel all comfortable? Well if you do, post them here moto_whistle.gif

I love Reggae and Soul, very relaxing style of music, Jazz as well.

 

Nothing like sitting on the porch in the evening, cold beverage, and listening to some relaxing tunes: Shifty41s_beerhatsmilie2.gif

 

I got loads of tunes I like, but I'll post this for now, as it was the first to pop in my head:

Trip-hop my friends. This is one of my favorite songs to relax/get drunk/get high to. Hell, any Nightmares On Wax song is good for relaxation and being "calm". Nothing like sitting on a beach in Long Island with some beer, weed and newly acquainted friends with this song playing.

 

Reggae's good for that as well. Peter Tosh, Eek-A-Mouse, Ziggy Marley, etc. All good for relaxism.

Nothing like Trojan reggae, have a listen to this, it tends to calm me down, but relax me? im never relaxed, always bouncing around and sh*t.

The Slickers Johnny too bad

 

 

If you like this maybe you wanna try out some of this other skinhead/Trojan reggae here. Thats one of my favourite reggae comp albums.

Pink Floyd when I'm lying in bed, always a Win-win there.

 

I mention what is classified as "new-age", I get a snarky look from you, but try Will Ackerman, George Winston, Alex DeGrassi, and Liz Story. I like them all, Windham Hill and other labels

I LOVE to listen to this track while smoking something or when I'm really tired or soared.

 

Lyrics:

 

We sail through endless skies

Stars shine like eyes

The black night sighs

The moon in silver trees

Falls down in tears

Light of the night

The earth, a purple blaze

Of sapphire haze

In orbit always

 

While down below the trees

Bathed in cool breeze

Silver starlight breaks down the night

And so we pass on by the crimson eye

Of great God Mars

As we travel the Universe

It's not really worth me posting many YouTube videos, but one group I know called Stars Of The Lid do some amazing ambient work. Their songs can top 10 minutes, but it's fantastic beatless material. Their albums usually come in two parts because the songs can often be so long, but it's so worth it to stick some of them on and just doze.

 

 

 

Another artist I know is a man that goes by the name of Death Cube K (an alter-ego of Buckethead) and he produces some dark ambient that is so soothing it's scary. It feels like it shouldn't be such easy listening but it's very haunting. He hasn't released nearly as much material as he has as Buckethead but it's still great.

Yeah definitely one of my all time favourite chill out songs along with Solitude. Sabbath have a great mix of heavy songs with really chilled out ones.

Anything by Atmosphere especially "God's Bathroom Floor" "Ode to the Modern Man" sh*t pretty much all their songs. Another one that's weird is Emotions by Daft Punk.

Some I like to listen to while studying or something:

"Scooby Snacks" by Fun Loving Criminals

 

 

"Summer Babe" by Pavement

 

 

"Standing Outside a Phonebooth" by Primitive Radio Gods

in Brazil, they sell a series of CD's called "Solaris" with musics like Enya, Jean Michel Jarre, Balingomingo, The Wind Element, Sarah Maclachlan, Delerium.... (I think it's New Age)

Nothing like DJ Screw for chilling or when you're tripping:

 

 

 

Awesome sh*t when you're high.

A lot of Buckethead's instrumentals can be quite relaxing. The one that springs to mind is Blue Marbles Moon from Volume 2 of his In Search of The collection.

 

 

 

I usually prefer instrumentals when I feel like relaxing, but some Azure Ray can also be rather calming:

Good call on Buckethead. A lot of the work on In Search Of The can be quite peaceful. In terms of whole albums, Colma and Electric Tears are amazing to me.

All good smoking sessions 'round my way recently have included this. Listen with some nice basey speakers though.

 

 

 

then we get more relaxing:

 

 

 

and even more relaxing again:

 

 

 

and if you're not asleep yet there's these:

New Age ain't a bad thing, check into the earliest examples. Windham Hill artists, like Liz Story, Tim Story, Will Ackerman and Alex DeGrassi, George Winston... ALL FOR THE WIN

 

Oh, and Us and Them by Pink Floyd

The songs that calm me are very different from the songs posted here. biggrin.gif

Smooth Jazz, Classical music, and others always work for me. wink.gif

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Just a few that calm me, though my list is almost endless.

Billy Joel, She's always a Woman! hahaha

LRB is rather kick arse in my book, for Adult Contemporary, they have a full album of hit songs like the Eagles do

You want calm down songs? I have lived on calm down songs most of my life. I happen to live at the epicenter of folks music - both world and continental.

 

How about my favorite? Maddy Prior. I could have gone with her and Steeleye(my favorite), but I picked this one.

 

 

Maybe some beautiful Pentangle?

 

 

Maybe some John Renbourne?

 

*Edited in side note: I play this song on both my guitar and banjo, and I happen to have a good friend named Frank. Every time I play this it kind of is for him. Well, at least I always think about him when playing.

 

Richard and Mimi Farina. Like I said - I live in the epicenter of folk. I was with Richard and Mimi for their very last(very emotional)show. It was such an intimate event that I was drinking wine and eating sponge cake with them during the breaks.

 

*make me proud. Listen to this song and look out for your fellow brothers and sisters.

 

Another edit:

I wanted to find a good version of Jerry doing Peggy-O and I came across this one towards the top of my search. I was at this show.
