ashes 12 Posted January 27, 2012 I just read about this song in a special edition of Time Magazine the other day about Inventors of the Year!? Anyway, supposedly it reduces stress and relaxes you. Can't say if its the truth or not, but here's links to the music and some articles: Marconi Union - Weightless - Youtube Marconi Union - Weightless - Wikipedia Telegraph - Band creates the 'most relaxing tune ever' You can also find the MP3 by doing a Google search, though its not guaranteed to be available forever. Hmm.. I guess this coulda been posted in one of the other sections (youtube, coping..). Just thought it was interesting that this has made Time magazine and other news. cheers 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kinser 3 Posted April 18, 2012 I have always found the song Summer Breeze by Seals and Crofts to be completely relaxing. Not only is the song itself about relaxation, it evokes memories the very early days of my childhood. I sigh every time I hear it come on (the oldies station, LOL).

prescott911 1 Posted April 19, 2012 This track is called "Meltdown" by Lisa Gerrard and Peter Bourke. It is featured in the amazing film starring Al Pacino and Russell Crowe, "The Insider". If you haven't seen it I definitely recommend that you do! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l_GDJH7WyoM&list=FLDojXMyamWdRewXJQFjxivg&index=8&feature=plpp_video Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
char2011 1 Posted April 22, 2012 Recently I have found that Lana Del Rey is very put very relaxing instrumentals on her song which I really love. The only downfall is that her lyrics are very depressing along with the tone of her voice. I think she is probably for me at the momment the best thing to listen to when I wasn't to relax. I think her best song would be Blue Jeans. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

4leafclover 1 Posted April 30, 2012 http://youtu.be/du5cH2hTh28 This is my ultimate stress-soother! I first heard this from my daughter's Brainy Baby DVDs and I never let go of this song. I always listen to this whenever I get tense over deadlines or something work-related stress. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
difrancprod 3 Posted April 30, 2012 I believe there are common elements on this songs that makes them relaxing. If I'm not mistaken, they are called binaural beats and isochronic tones. They tend to ease some tension inside the brain and could give you these relaxing and somewhat hypnotic feel. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shaun 6 Posted May 1, 2012 Music is a useful tool for lifting your mood. If you listen to depressing music, it will likely make you feel more depressed. Conversely, if you listen to cheerful music, you will likely feel more positive and optimistic. I like listening to music like this to lift my mood http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ic2bua-JCU4 The title says it all Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
violino 0 Posted May 3, 2012 I love Vangelis, the whole "Oceanic" albu and "Portraits". And I've found recently Ennio Morricone "Chi Mai" - I adore it! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
