Time After Time - Cyndi Lauper.
Yes, I’m old.
But it does depend what kind of mood I’m in, and what kind of soothing I need.
In some cases: Chaser EP - Femtanyl.
Sometimes if I’m stressed I play guitar and something I quite often play is Time After Time!
If you played Femtanyl, I’d be really impressed :D
SLAYER Killing Fields
I was just going to comment mine is the entire album Reign in Blood lol I’m glad I’m not the only one
I’m partial to 213 myself
That is my go to love song.
SLAYER Delusions of Savior
Most songs by dire straits, particularly ride across the river. Also definitely not heavy fuel
The album August and Everything After by Counting Crows.
It is such a perfect album. My personal favorite closely followed by Recovering the satellites.
Amon Tobin - Easy Mufffin
Stevie Ray Vaughan - Little Wing
Don’t know why - Norah Jones
Green Arrow - Yo La Tengo
Hallelujah. Any version.
Close #2: American Pie.
If I’m feeling angsty I like early Nine Inch Nails
If I just want to chill then maybe “The K&D Sessions”
MGMT - Little Dark Age
Ralph Vaughan Williams - The Lark Ascending (I’m partial to Hilary Hahn’s 2004 performance with the London Symphony Orchestra directed by Colin Davis).
I recently discovered the piano and violin version of this, rather than the full orchestral version. It’s much more intimate and would be my choice for a more soothing experience. The orchestral version is so emotional for me, that sometimes I wouldn’t be able to describe it as soothing.
Smashing Pumpkins- Obscured
Darrow’s Barn. Seriously, if you’ve never heard it, click the link, close your eyes, and just listen.
Lullaby by Shawn Mullins. Heard it at a special time - I don’t remember the event anymore but I do get intense feelings of comfort and calm whenever I hear it.
