well i just got a zune yesterday, and i dont wanna fill it up with rap.

so i wanna fill it up with relaxing songs,

like... for example,

1234-feist

elevator music,


and all that good stuff,


thanks

All of Jack Johnson and Colbie Caillat songs
Hmm if you're more of rock/alt. then Secondhand Serenade should do =)
For rnb, there's alot of songs liiiiiiiiiikkkkkkkeeee Lloyd & Ashanti - Southside
There's more but I'm just lazy right now.

^
Secondhand Serenade, definitely soothing.

Try sounds of nature. I love listening to
them. Soothing as well.

Try Kings of Convenience or Zero 7. Feist did vocals for a Kings of Convenience track before she went mainstream. I also suggest her first album which I think is much better than her latest. For something with more beats try Gotan Project or the Hôtel Costes albums (3, 4, 5, 6, and 9 are my favs).

Oh my, Norah Jones Norah Jones Norah Jones Norah Jones!!!!!

And Corinne Bailey Rae.

my favorite relaxing song is "bubbly" by colbie caillat
and "like a star" by corinne bailey rae

I find anything from Faye Wong's 1997-2003 work really relaxes me. Especially the albums "Fable (寓言)" and "To Love (將愛)".

From her 1997 "Faye Wong" album, "Men (闷)" is the best for an upbeat yet mellow sound. AWESOME song. And off of Fable "Xiao Wang Shu (笑忘書)" is one of the prettiest best mellow songs I've heard. Very calming. <3


But then I also like relaxing while rocking to dance songs or upbeat songs that I can (at least half-) sing to. Like right now I'm rocking to some B'z and upbeat Lee Mi Ja songs and I'm totally satisfied and at ease.

try those meditating music

your hand in mine - explosions in the sky
