A Warm Place by Nine Inch Nails
Fade to black, Metallica usually.
Whiter shade of pale is beautiful
Usually the entire soundtrack of the Ori series: Ori and the Blind Forest & Ori and the Will of the Wisps. In particular, my favorites to calm down is "Separated by the Storm" and "Ori, Embracing the Light"
This is definitely too extreme for most people but I like "Bring Me The Head of The King" by Man Must Die
It's angry enough for angry me to be okay listening to it but within a minute or so I'm in a better mood because I just like the band.
"on the dock of the bay" by Otis Redding can pretty much make me cry if I'm in the right mood
This might sound childish, but there's an old EP of lullabies that my parents used to play and sing for me long ago. Decades later, I got a copy to play and sing for my own son.
It's called Golden Slumbers: Lullabies From Near and Far (1956). It's not available digitally and was never released on CD, so I ripped the EP and posted it to YouTube at the link above. It's really relaxing.
Dizzy Wright - Killem Wit Kindness
This song always helps me realize how being upset is really nothing more than a barrier to clear thought and working past differences. Great jam to boot too!
I usually just put it on a Spotify playlist for yoga and relaxation.
雪の降る街で、あなたを待っている。(waiting for you, in snowing city.) - Snail's House
It might not be for everyone as it's a bit more of a prog song, but it's nice and peaceful to me.
Holy crap, it’s been YEARS since I’ve listened to Telepopmusik. Thanks for that reminder!
"Feeling fussy, listenin' to my, Debussy-ussy, Tryna bring out the fabulous..."
Bonobo in general is usually pretty good music to relax to.
Farewell farewell - fairport convention
Pancho and lefty - Townes van Zandt
The dive pt 1 and pt 2 - Eyedea and Abilities
Little Dark Age by MGMT
Maybe every song of Manuel García.
Necromancing Dancing by bear ghost can lift my mood regardless of why I'm upset. but it usually 'Depends on what I'm upset about. I try to find a song that is about the issue I'm experiencing. It helps me better articulate why I am upset I guess.
Tough It Out by DaMonz & Trainbeat.
I'm the type of person that needs to let out all my stress before I can calm down, rather than listen to a calm vibe to "force" myself to stop freaking out. This song definitly helps me to that end, I've never heard another song that matches my anxious state so closely
Pretty much anything off The Great Milenko album.
War by Poets of the Fall. Or any of their other middle to calm songs. Poet and the muse, Late goodbye, Locking up the sun, etc.
At the moment, and for the past year now, it has to be "Zum Wohl" by Cluster, from 1976's album "Sowiesoso".
Phoria - Saving Us A Riot
I love music and it's always been helping me.
Anything slow and relaxing usually, like this
Anything by The Midnight or by Gunship
Oh man, choosing an anime opening is probably cheesy, but Complication by Rookiez is Punk'd is actually one of my favorite songs even on its own.
The soundtrack to the Outer Wilds always does it for me
Good lovin (rework) by Golda. Thanks to youtube for recommending me that song, I love it, it always makes me think of a sunny spring morning
Might be a bit odd of an odd one, but the theme that plays on your ship from Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords is a song that never fails to help calm me down.
thanks for using Leebra!

Portishead - Roads
