Music to calm the nerves?

Question

What song that you listen to when you are so mad or stressed that helps you calm down and feel better? When I get mad I listen to A Little Piece of Heaven by Avenged Sevenfold, it's halloweeny mood makes me calm and it makes me laugh trying to sing it funny.

Answer 1

funny, hxc, or indie

funny - hollywood undead, mickey avalon, jeffree atar, etc

funny music always lightens my mood XD

hxc - norma jean, gwen stacy, as i lay dying, otep, etc

metalcore for some reason calms me

indie - we the kings, the honorary title, mayday parade, etc.

obviously indie or emo music helps, way calm.

as for metal helping with everything, idk...

what about baby making, bumping uglies, how good is metal for that?

Answer 2

When I'm mad I usually don't listen to music, just calm myself with silence. When I'm stressed or sad, I love Slightly Stoopid, 311, stuff that has a nice easy listening beat.

Answer 3

I think everyone should get hold of an Ambiant type New Age CD to relax... especially after a hard day at work.

Answer 4

Anything by Janis Joplin. Like right now...gets my anger out.

Answer 5

Maybe some Evaline, Bloc Party, As Tall As Lions, or Wax on Radio.  That's what I'd listen to to calm down...either that or The Devil Wears Prada  :]

Answer 6

Mozart always seems to do it for me.

Answer 7

Circa Survive and a few songs by Blessthefall.

Answer 8

Try some songs by Killswitch Engage.

If you are not into Heavy Metal though, then try something by Weird Al Yankovic.  That band is hilarious, especially when they are making fun of other bad pop groups.

Answer 9

willow by joan armatrading

Answer 10

I listen to Sarah MacLachlan.... any of her albums are good, but I like "Mirrorball" the best. It's a live album. I turn down the lights, turn up the stereo and zone out..... :)  Alicia Keys song "No One" is a good pick up too!

Answer 11

im really surprised that psi hasnt tried and reported you.

indie is really relaxing, or something funny, like mickey avalon.

but it all depends on opinion, because music like normajean and as i lay dying relaxes me...

Answer 12

I listen to chumbawumba "i get knocked down but i get up again your never gonna keep me down" its really inspirational and tells you to always get back on your feet no matter how dire the situation.

P.S. when im happy i listen to "strawberry fields forever"

Answer 13

The devil wears prada or As i lay dying

Answer 14

you are gonna think I'm weird.......but Tibetan mantras and chants calm me down faster than anything.

I really do not know why.

Answer 15

Listen to Delirium, Sarah McLachlan, amethystium, and for me Tool is very relaxing. Maynard's voice sooths the savage beast!

Answer 16

Answer 18

Well I  listen to a little bit of everything. When I am mad I obviousl wont listen to like heavy metal or rock because I would prefer something soft and calming. I like to listen to the radio on my favourite stations. I play some Cds of my favourite songs. they really help. music does that. When I am in a happy mood I listen to my favourite tunes and trust me I have alot of them. I am more into pop hipi-hop R&B and much more. it really depnds on my mood.

Answer 19

Try some Karen Carpenter.

Answer 20

I grew up listening to ballads, the 80's lovesongs and bands like Chicago and REM

When I'm angry and confused I like to sing my heart out. Sometimes I also dance to music like Cranberries, Garbage, Bic Runga, The Corrs, No Doubt, Nikka Costa, PJ Harvey, Janis Joplin and Selena these are just some of my favorites along with the Christian rock bands Disciple and Showbread.
