Your Chill-out music?

[TwistedWindSox]

I was just wondering if anyone else has a specific song or list of songs they like to listen to to chill out, get mellow or relax. I've been a bit stressed lately, but there are a couple songs that always make me feel better and help me to unwind. My "chill song" has to be Pinch Me by Barenaked Ladies or Rough Gem by Islands. :p
Does anyone else have some mellowing songs I should look up?

To relax, I listen to thunderstorms, usually.    But to listen to while I do things like write, or whatever, I listen to bagpipes often.  I also like listning to the instrumentals from movies whose themes are close to what I'm writing.  Gets me more easily into the world.

It varies by the day for me.

I like listening to Lush or Belle and Sebastian to chill out.  I change it up from time to time, but recently those two have been working nicely.

Steve Green and Wes King songs tend to calm me down.

Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin's more ambient stuff, disk 2 of Execution Ground, or Tempa compilations.

Ok... here's weird little me... I love movie soundtracks (orchestral ones). I usually play them when I'm working. Hans Zimmer rules. One of my fav's at the mo is the Inception soundtrack. Also listening to the Virgin Queen soundtrack a bit lately 


So yeah, I'm weird.

I love listening to Adiemus when I'm in a jumble, it's so relaxing with it's not-really-words lyrics. I highly recommend their 'Songs of Sanctuary' album

[Sonata]

Personally, I like Sigur Rós and Amiina to relax. If I need to work and still feel relaxed enough I usually listen to post-rock or soundtracks. But it varies, of course, sometimes I need metal to relax lol.

Journey (any song) happens to be my chill music.
It's so chill that when somebody broke into my car (and stole my car seat covers) they pulled my journey cd's out of the glove compartment and left them... Yeppers.... way too chill for even car thieves...

To relax, I listen to thunderstorms, usually.   

This! And other nature music like this. Oh, and Lion King instrumental music.
Toccata and Fugue in D Minor also seems to calm me down... Heh.

I like to listen Enigma and I love the Pure Moods albums.
When I'm stressing out and on the verge of a panic attack, I listen to Wendy Rule's Breathe

[hokuspokus]

Mostly Enya if i really need to relax, or other meditation/relaxation music

i also like slow songs with deep lyrics.

[Kaeldre]

My two favorite chill-out songs are 'I Stay Away' and 'Nutshell' by Alice In Chains.

I also enjoy a few pieces from the Quantum Leap soundtrack and the Lion King score. :3

Akino Arai is the best, especially her non-anime stuff. Any kind of downtempo electronica or trip-hop is good though. I love Alpha, Late Night Alumni, Haley, Samantha James... Beach House is also nice, and as far as ~new age~ music goes I really like Enya and Deep Forest.


I'm surprised nobody mentioned Rainymood.com !
