The "Unstressful" Playlist

The "Unstressful" Playlist:

1. "Dark Days" by the Punch Brothers

• This song is a part of The Hunger Games album and never becomes fast paced. The soft strumming of the banjo and guitar combined and the viola (or violin/fiddle-I'm not quite sure) create a relaxing song that calms me not matter how stressed I am. 

2. "The Living Sculptures Of Pemberley" by Jean-Yves Thibaudet 

• This song comes directly off the sound track of Pride and Prejudice bringing me, when stressed, into that part of the movie when Elizabeth is looking around at the beautiful sculptures in Darcy's house.I placed this song on this sound track because there are no words just a piano, a clarinet, and a few string instruments which helps me to take deep breaths and calm down from what ever I was doing. 

3. "Keep Breathing" by Ingrid Michaelson

• I was introduced to this song last year as part of an english project. I fell in love with it because the words and the back ground, the entirety of the song is a reminder to value what you have and to keep breathing because everything will come out okay. The reason it is on this play list is because it reminds me that everything will be okay in the end no matter how bad it seems-just keep chugging away at it.

4. A recording lasting 5 minutes of "Rainy Mood" (it is a website)

• The sound of rain comforts me and so having this on my playlist will allow me to be unstressful by relaxing to the sound of rain. The reason I put this in the "Unstressful" playlist at #4 is because I would rather relax to music that I can think about and sing along with to clear up my mind than one that lets my mind wander. 

5. "Collide" Howie Day

• I remember this song from a long time ago, well actually, since I can remember I think. This song means so much to me because, when listening to the words, I think about picking myself and continuing what ever thing I was attempting to do. This song comes in fifth because it has drums which, for me, don't seem "unstressful".

All of these songs ended up on my playlist because I can relate to all of them at different times and combined, so much more. This "unstressful" playlist works for me and I hope it would would for you too!
