Songs you listen to when you want to relax

I usually put on some old Alan Jackson or George Strait, but lately the song "The Girl Is Mine" by Michael Jackson and Paul McCartney really calms me a lot. That's some great music when you want a break from metal.

What about you?

Anything by the Beatles and Led Zeppelin, especially "Something" and "What is and what should never be," respectively.

I just listened to "PDA" by Interpol, courtesy of Rock Band 2, and although it may be boring, bland, and a bit strange, after listening to it about 20 times on different occasions, I actually like the song. It's a great calming song. And I know what you mean by a "break from metal". I'm a serious metalhead, but I also listen to other stuff too. Other great calming songs are:
- "No Excuses" by Alice in Chains

Yeah it's weird, no I don't get it, but it's a great song and it totally has meaning. The reason for the video is because it is currently one of my favorite songs and I think you should listen to it.
- various Tool songs including "Parabola", "Vicarious", and "Schism" _{(all on GH:WT lol) just like many of the others here}
- "Angel" by Jimi Hendrix
- various Grateful Dead songs such as "Sugar Magnolia", "Franklin's Tower", "Uncle John's Band", and "Fire on the Mountain" _{These are on Rock Band}
- "Times Like These" and "Long Road to Ruin" by Foo Fighters
- "Nothing Else Matters", "The Unforgiven", and "Fade to Black" by Metallica
- "Simple Man" and "Tuesday's Gone" by Lynyrd Skynyrd
- "Green Grass and High Tides" by The Outlaws
- "Satellites and Astronauts", "The Mirror's Truth", and "Cloud Connected" by In Flames
- "A Tout le Monde" by Megadeth
- "Closer" by Lacuna Coil
- "Shooting Star" by Bad Company
- "Rebel Yell" and "White Wedding Pt. 1" by Billy Idol

Those are some songs that I consider to be relaxing. Hopefully I didn't forget any.

That's a good smooth song. I really like that album.

And TerribleFrog, Alice in Chains is in my Top 5 favorite bands. You should check out Metallica's cover of Tuesday's Gone.

Uh... Black Eyed Peas. I'm a bit obsessed.

Silly_Penguin · June 30, 2009, 08:42:17 PM

Anything from Radiohead really, although I've noticed "Fake Plastic Trees", "Exit Music (For a Film)", and "Videotape" especially.

Anarchy_Jas · June 30, 2009, 09:50:56 PM

My R&B. Right now I have in my "The Diary of Alicia Keys" CD in.

Magnum · July 01, 2009, 05:09:28 PM

Probably IOSYS. Especially 'The Feast Never Ends'. That always brings a smile to my insides.

Wabba · July 01, 2009, 05:36:02 PM

Trance/Electronic with female vocals. Maybe some modest mouse.

There is one song that always makes me feel good and relaxed.

GoldFrapp-Number one

Anything MJ really. Or anything with some really smooth melodies.
