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.
MGMT - Little Dark Age
Smashing Pumpkins- Obscured
Green Arrow - Yo La Tengo

Darrow’s Barn. Seriously, if you’ve never heard it, click the link, close your eyes, and just listen.
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.
That’s a lovely tune. Thanks.
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.
