Thought about posing this in Songs That Are Owning You thread, but it's a bit more specific. What tracks do you go to when you need to relax? Obviously, all of us around here celebrate Michael Bolton's entire catalogue, but other than that, what are the most soothing bits of music you know?
I spent the last month studying for the bar exam, and every night I would invariably get fed up trying to memorize 300 pages of bullshit. But I developed a playlist that I could put on that wouldn't overly distract me, but made it possible to get through another hour or two of tedium, and would send me off to sleep just fine if it came to it. Went something like this:
Anthems For A Seventeen Year-Old Girl by Broken Social Scene.
A Slow Dance by Explosions In The Sky.
All Things Beautiful by Nick Cave.
Njosnavelin by Sigur Ros.
Together We Will Live Forever by Clint Mansell.
A few others migrated through, but those are the staples. What do you listen to when you need to slow down and relax?
