What music helps to calm oneself? (specifics please)?

Question

What music helps to calm oneself? (specifics please)?

Answer 1

Music that is calming is different for everyone. I find acoustic rock soothing and I like new age for clearing my mind. It depends on what you like - your favourite song of all will help you feel better guaranteed. Play it soft or loud, whichever way calms you down.

Answer 2

Oh well,it varies.Some times I listen to music like in vampire movies.Some times Ozzy or Aerosmith has to work.And some times its some thing easy.Everyone is different.

Answer 3

sometimes i listen to the angriest music i can find and punch the **** out of a pillow or something and sometimes i listen to some slow calm alternative rock music

Answer 4

Hi Smiley..the answer I'm afraid is subjective..Some people find Classical calming,others R&B,Reggae,or even melodic rock or Chill-out dance music. It really depends on what kind of music you like. I like all kinds myself and can listen to music to calm myself that varies from Classical to bands like Radiohead,Cherry Ghost or The Pogues. I like Indie music mostly it has to be said and I find Acoustic songs very calming,an example of this could be the popular Live Lounge CD's from the Radio 1 DJ Jo Whileys live sessions where Artists come in and do an acoustic version of one of their well-known songs and also an acoustic cover version of other artists songs.

Answer 5

Slow songs with soothing melodies and/or nice singing and/or soothing lyrics etc. help me.

Some examples:

Northern Downpour - Panic At the Disco

The Rain Don't Last - Hope

Time Stands Still - The All-American Rejects

I Will Follow You Into The Dark - Death Cab for Cutie

Hey There Delilah - Plain White T's

Bubbly - Colbie Callait

Hurricane - The Hush Sound

When It Rains - Paramore (It's rock-ish, but I find the mellow tone calming)

Finally - Fergie

Early Winter - Gwen Stefani

Never Too Late - Hedley (OK, it's not calming persay, but it helps me feel better when I'm down :D)

Sunday Bloody Sunday - Paramore (originally by U2) (yes, it's a cover, and some people think they butchered it, but I enjoy it and it's calming to me)

Bleeding Love - Leona Lewis

Wonderwall - Oasis

Dear Mr. President - P!nk

When The Day Met The Night - Panic At the Disco

A Million Miles Away - Rihanna

Teardrops On My Guitar (album version) - Taylor Swift

Twilight - Vanessa Carlton

Silent All These Years - Tori Amos

I'm Yours - Jason Mraz

It's kinda a long list, but ohwells.

Hope this was what you were looking for :)
