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
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.
Green Arrow - Yo La Tengo
Detectorists theme song: https://youtu.be/Q5LbTeti0sw?si=OT1IVqKiFbUqJHiJ
The Do - The Calendar also does bits for me too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2eG9Y8d998
What you won’t do for love. By Bobby Caldwell.
Have you heard this Everlong and What You Won’t Do for Love live looping mashup? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gl9GtO_vQxw
Amon Tobin - Easy Mufffin
Darrow’s Barn. Seriously, if you’ve never heard it, click the link, close your eyes, and just listen.
Smashing Pumpkins- Obscured
Elwynn Forest theme. Or Dream Theater’s Trial of tears
Stormwind theme feels like home to me
Also amazing, but more… epic rather than tranquil.
Skalpel - Sculpture
The album August and Everything After by Counting Crows.
It is such a perfect album. My personal favorite closely followed by Recovering the satellites.
MGMT - Little Dark Age
That’s a lovely tune. Thanks.
