Calm music

[w/e]

Any suggestions?
I need something to relax or fall asleep to.

Gravity, John Mayer - Is a great one, one of the best relaxtion ones by him, but all his music is relaxing i find

Nothing Else Matters - Metellica (can be relaxing..)

Free falling - (The John mayer cover is great)

If you like classical, Pastrol by Baethoven (6th symphony) is great relaxing happy music.

Hotel California - The Eagles

No Happy Ending - Mika (Kind of relaxing.. a bit depressing though )

Ill come back with more when I think of them Theres a bit of variety in "relaxing" music there so yeah

Listen to some reggae, that stuff is really quite relaxing, like some Bob Marley.

 

[Nigerianrulz]

what genre you like the most? if its something R&B, Pop or trance/techno ive got tons.

 

[sqrage]

Anything from Explosions in the Sky. They have some not so calm moments in their songs which are built up to. But overall the music is very relaxing and can definitely be slept to.

 

[Jimpy]

Anything by Boards of Canada will do.

Their stuff is all downtempo/ambient, has a sense of nostalgia to it.

I'd highly recommend their album "Campfire Headphase". Peacock Tail and Chromakey Dreamcoat are from it. The entire album is frankly wicked dandy and picking a favourite song is difficult.

Autechre is similar, but a little bit weirder/harsher/darker. Their considered IDM/Ambient. Still, their general sound is smooth flowing and easy listening. I think its suitable for falling asleep to music.

Their songs are all 6-11minutes long, so their ideal for playing and not having to change songs often.

I find just any more electronic/calm album by an artist I like good sleeping to. My personal favourite is the album Paris Kills by the 69 Eyes

 

[Darthfett]

This is one of my favorites that I found randomly. It's not very long, but it's very deep and soothing:

Are you lonesome tonight - Elvis Presley

 

[Ozzdog]

Any person with knowledge of calm music should have suggested Mike Oldfield longgggg ago. Unfortunately, he has not been mentioned.

Check out Ommadawn, Hergest Ridge, Tubular Bells, Amarok etc...

All are extended pieces (40+ minutes), and will put you into a psychedelic doze (but a beautiful one as well)

Got trouble falling asleep, well then, I got a challange for you. The band (or whatever you wanna call 'em) Juno Reactor made an about 61 minute long song. I have never yet managed to listen to the whole song before I fall asleep.

It's some strange shit, but I like it. Here is the first part on youtube, others are to be found there. (But I keep the whole song on me Ipod)

"She Don't Want the World" by 3 Doors Down. Good vibe.

the thing that wakes you up is not the noise but the change in noise. So if you have loud isaac shepard music up, you will still go to sleep (ofc) but if you put that thing on sleep and it turns off in 90 minutes. itll wake you up. Which is the reason why im up at 3:58 AM EST. I put isaac shepard music on too loud. :/
