I was wondering what songs calm people down. For me off the top of my head I can think of a few: Hallujah - Jeff Buckley Everybody Hurts - REM Knockin' on Heavens Door - Bob Dylan most of his songs are calming in or way or another. Fire and Rain - James Taylor I'll post more when I think of them.
Tiny Dancer - Elton John Wild Horses - The Rolling Stones Your Song - Elton John (lots of Elton ) Imagine - John Lennon The Masterplan - Oasis Really, just any slow low-beat song calms me down. Sometimes I really need that. Right now these are the only ones I can think of, but most Elton John songs calm me down
Hmm.. Well whenever I'm sad I listen to Fix You by Coldplay and I SOB to it for like 10 minutes and then I get sick of being sad and it really picks me up. I think it's calming too. Truly Madly Deeply - Savage Garden Gardian Angel - The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus Wonderwall - Oasis You and Me - Lifehouse Hide And Seek - Imogen Heap Can't think of anymore right now.
Such a wonderful song. I like Jeff's version the best. I've also heard covers from Sheryl Crow, Willie Nelson (which isn't as bad as you'd think it would be), and of course, the orginal by Leonard Cohen. Some of the songs I turn to when becoming introspective: Just when I needed you most - Randy Van Warmer Learning how to live - Lucinda Williams --actually her whole "West" cd would qualify, as well as most of her music Anything sung by Jim Reeves Coming back to you - Leonard Cohen Go rest high on that mountain - Vince Gill Anything by Peter, Paul & Mary (c'mon! That'll make you smile!) Anything by Amy Grant Anything by the Highwaymen (Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash & Kris Kristofferson) Most anything by Shawn Colvin and most of the older classic country music (Patsy Cline, Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, etc)
Well , I like Whiskey lullaby by Brad Paisley Beautiful Love by The Afters Remember When by Alan Jackson .
no matter whats wrong, if i'm upset or sad the Elton John album "Tumbleweed Connection" on vinyl (the cd works too but it isn't the same) always makes me feel better. some of them aren't slow or soothing but the combination of all of them always has the power to calm me down. Ballad Of A Well-Known Gun Come Down In Time Country Comfort Son Of Your Father My Father's Gun Where To Now St. Peter? Love Song Amoreena Talking Old Soldiers Burn Down The Mission another elton john song that always works is Song for Guy, an instrumental piece from the album "A Single Man" theres a specific EJ album that goes with any mood i might be in.
hmm .. David Gray - Babylon Elton John - Tiny Dancer Veils - Vicious Traditions mostly Snow Patrol songs are my 'calm downies'
Yay! I'm happy to see more Elton John, I grew up on Sir Elton thanks to my mom, so I love everything he's done More songs that I can think of at the moment... Brown-Eyed Girl - Van Morrison (this song seems to follow my mom and I around... it plays on the radio randomly when we're together, or in shops, the grocery store, on shuffle on my iPod... :lol Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol Free - Donavan Frankenreiter When The Stars Go Blue - The Corrs (I also love the original by Ryan Adams)
Slow Dancing in a Burning Room - John Mayer River God- Nichole Nordeman She's Every Woman - Garth Brooks That's All- Michael Buble The Blowers Daughter- Damien Rice Rainbow Connection - Kermit the Frog (I'm not trying to be smart, I love this song)
