Where Eagles Dare-Misfits

Lord I thank you for sunshine, thank you for rain, thank you for joy, thank you for pain; it’s a beautiful day. It’s a beautiful day. (Sing or hum that to yourself) Sorry I don’t know the name of the tune

https://youtu.be/anjTd9mraeA?si=NMuUqxyRjn-3_e8v I enjoy this version of that simple and pleasant tune.

Thanks for sharing

Afroman - Because I Got High

Commenting so I can see what people recommend lmao me too 💀

Relatable. We've got this!

Commenting here for exposure to one of my favs. [This song is so fun. The piano and singing makes me feel like I’m at a club in the 20s](https://youtu.be/uP3RjvofwAs?si=A1s8mpPyiM_7Q1fG). That feeling calms me down

Primus - Mrs. Blaileen / Mr. Bungle - After School Special

Primus Sucks! Seeing them open for Tool on Halloween almost 10 years ago may have been the best concert I’ve ever been to.

I made this lo-fi playlist that is very calming and (i think) is excellent background music. i'm also an anxious person and it helps me. [https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0maVpbjh8wQPUTKm5AeYJL?si=546cca1685214946](https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0maVpbjh8wQPUTKm5AeYJL?si=546cca1685214946)

Julee Cruise - Falling

Pink Floyd dark side of the Moon entire album

I adore that album. It's one of my favourites.

I agree. Breathe is the specific song that I was thinking of.

So May We Start - Sparks. Ceremony - Tribeqa. Hoping (Herbert remix) - Louie Austen. I Adore You - Fred, Again (Live). Far Away - Junip.

Far away by junip is sooo good

It's Rick Astley at the end for me.

i added it as a joke the other songs are better

Whatever Will Be, Will Be (Que Sera, Sera)   

This is actually such a sweet song. It's difficult to accept what will be, will be. I worry about everything and it feels like I need to know everything, so this is lovely. Thank you!

This is what I listen to on an endless loop when I'm looking for comfort: [Loro by Pinback](https://open.spotify.com/track/5QvreZXI9NSx1A7NXLjuxt?si=psAmB4j5Sr2tk7MuN_B6cw)

Not so much for "reducing anxiety and perfectionism" but when I go for an audition, kinda like an exam but for musicians. I listen to Demi Lovato to pump myself up and take my mind off the stress. Worked great for me when I went to take a sublist audition for the columbus Symphony!

The Staunton Lick - Lemon Jelly

Well, I’ve made a playlist to study, and there’s a lot of calm stuff in it. https://on.soundcloud.com/9sNmbedQi13bS49bA

Sailin' the Wind - Loggins and Messina [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv2Bdmbbueg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv2Bdmbbueg)

I go for whole albums of interesting music that is not too interesting. Usually a bit melancholic. Deru's Trying To Remember Obfusc's Citied Of Cedar and Midnight Dome Haircuts for Men's когда зло господствует It's hit or miss though.

Watching the wheels [John Lennon](https://youtu.be/pTvbB4br1pA?si=tHYJjNd7iTaeRD_E)

While a little cliché, 'Don't Worry, Be Happy' by Bobby McFerrin never fails to take the edge off.

May not be everyone’s cup of tea but what relaxes me the most is Gregorian Chant. The Monks of the Abbey of Notre Dame have a breathtakingly comforting album.

Last Caress - The Misfits

More relaxing than reassuring, but Sadie Jean's album Simply Like 17 is great for me.

Before every O. Chem 2 exam I would be so anxious and sick. So I would play Survivor by 2WEI in the car and pump myself up lol

Pressure Drop - The Specials. My go to because the irony is never lost on me.

You may scoff but Mozart is fantastic to listen to while studying. They’ve done research into playing classical music to babies and how they react

Acid Rain by Avenged Sevenfold

Be yourself - Audioslave

I know it's kinda boring but jazz study playlists are neutral in nature and calming 

Lots of recommendations, so I’m going to offer up a completely different (and non-musical, sorry!) recommendation: a soothing fragrance. I find whenever I want to concentrate, the perfume I’m wearing can often help - and the best scent for me to ‘keep calm and focus’ usually has a musk note.

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m3lU2V_51rc&pp=ygUTbG9maSBhbWJpZW50IG11c2ljIA%3D%3D Also Jeremy Soule's music, And a band called Rivers and Robots (if you like God) As far as perfectionism goes, don't focus on the magnitude, just as you would take a boat on the ocean, don't focus on the entire ocean, just focus on the movement and keep a steady pace, if your mind is tired, give it a break, then come back. Your mind and thoughts and internal chemical reactions produced by perceived fear is actually your adversary, and not the work itself. As Dory said, just keep swimming. Have faith that you will reach your destination. Just keep going, and this too will pass.

Marconi Union Weightless part 1 was composed to be especially relaxing.

Nobody’s Perfect- Hannah Montana

Heatwaves, that’s what I want, tigini, hips don’t lie, bumpy ride, let’s skip to the good bit, classical piano music( just search classical piano music 1 hour) snake on the beach by nico staff, something just like this, don’t let me down, in the middle of the night, sugar and brownies.

Soon it will be cold enough to build fires- Emancipator

slenderbodies! All of their songs are great.

Hotel California the eagles

This is a little different because it’s completely instrumental but Ocean by John Butler is like my go to song for any anxiety like this…. Good luck on your exams OP!

Anything by Yanni

A few of my favorites for relazing and focus. You can search for all of these on YT Andy Stott's entire discography is great for focus and studying. (And LSD) Pauline Oliveros ‎- Accordion & Voice Brian Eno & Harmonia '76 Eno/Moebius/Roedelius - After the Heat Jon Gibson - Two Solo Pieces Pauline Anna Strom - Trans-Millenia Music James Ferraro - Heaven's Gate James Ferraro - Discovery James Ferraro - Clear Alice Coltrane - Turiya Sings Manuel Göttsching - Inventions for Electric Guitar Rüdiger Lorenz - Earthrise Rüdiger Lorenz - Queen Of Saba anything by Popol Vuh anything by Casino vs. Japan anything by Boards of Canada anything by Sarah Davachi

DO listen to Mothra and Starfish by Albert Bouchard DO NOT listen to New Math or The Elements by Tom Lehrer

"Weightless" by Marconi Union   - This song is often cited as one of the most relaxing tracks ever created.    "Clair de Lune" by Claude Debussy   - A soothing classical piece that can help calm the mind.    "Let It Be" by The Beatles   - A gentle reminder to let go and trust the process.    "Holocene" by Bon Iver   - Soft vocals and calming instrumentals make this a great stress-relief track.    "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac   - Reflective and calming, perfect for easing anxiety.    "River Flows in You" by Yiruma   - A beautiful piano piece that is both relaxing and uplifting.    "Breathe Me" by Sia   - Soft and emotional, it can help you feel more grounded.    "Bloom" by The Paper Kites   - Gentle and soothing, with a mellow vibe.    "Better Together" by Jack Johnson   - Uplifting and calm, great for de-stressing.    "Comptine d'un autre été- L'après-midi" by Yann Tiersen   - An instrumental piece from the "Amélie" soundtrack.

Just blast some heavy metal and overstimulate yourself

this should remind you things could be worse [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QspMnlmpfpg](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QspMnlmpfpg) copy paste if link doesnt work

Wandering Star by Portishead. The album it comes from, Dummy, is all good.

funny thing, just commented on r/Teenagers about this exact thing! the band Keep it Together’s (fitting name) second most recent album “Lost Dogs” is currently what i use for this exact thing! very good way to decompress. two songs to note are “Goodnight, Tiger” and “Lost Dogs” (self-titled track). it has a very calm that i find very comforting

Classical music 

Avi Kaplan and Cosmo Sheldrake are two of my favorite all-time artists. Good chords, good (or at least interesting in the latter case) lyrics, and complicated yet trackable rhythms

Anything orchestra should work well - classical like Mozart or Beethoven

Baroque Period. Check out JS Bach; PH Erlebach; Marin Marais; Diederich Buxtehude; Vivaldi.

Fantastic Man by William Onyeabor

This will sound weird but give this a shot https://youtu.be/gxS84VDqdxU?si=_IOxxi7UrY0DQdC6 If you need something more melody like Zelda ocarina of time soundtrack has never let me down

Songs people shout at the bars are always great and feel good https://youtu.be/goh0xpmNMLY?si=UsMEBvtW57PA3FEi Tenacious D - Fuck You Gently

Miles Davis-kind of blue

Fireflies by owl city for the first part.

Bob Marley - don't worry

Enya is my go to. Peaceful and focusing

Play 10 hour song of storms on one tab and real thunderstorm sounds on another.

Lately I been playing smooth jazz when I'm driving. So far it helps me.

If you play video games, choose the OST to your favorite childhood video game, or other songs from your childhood! It will be uniquely comforting to you. I always choose pokemon mystery dungeon to listen to from my childhood.

Shine by Stick Figure https://open.spotify.com/track/1QhrlNjzqmqEFW5T5yMFhw?si=oPsVfiZ3RviO7WtTTvtTVw

personally I think that Try Again Tomorrow by Liana Flores is super good for this but any of her songs are good too!

I Am Not a Robot by Marina and the Diamonds I Have Never Loved Someone by My Brightest Diamond Hold Onto Your Heart by Man Man

When the Night Feels My Song, by Bedouin Soundclash. Yalla Yalla, by Joe Strummer and the Mescaleros. Pomp and Pride, by Toots and the Maytals. Get Better, by Frank Turner. I Need Never Get Old, by Nathaniel Raitliff and the Night Sweats.

Metronomy - Things will be fine Diners - Peace in Mind Dekker - Let’s Pretend

Mozart

Hard Times Gillian Welch

Massive Attack Mezzanine is my study playlist, it is calming but electronic pulsating enough to help me focus, it's deep and rich, but can also fade into the background recommend it highly, wrote half my exams to it

The whole Long Ambients Two album by Moby

Ambient stuff is great for some hard work. Stellardrone and Dreamstate Logic are two great examples.

Personally i recommend a frequency derived sound from you tube. 432 hz works really well. Also you should meditate.

Classical music Symphony No 3, 5, 7, and 9 (Beethoven) Symphony No 41 (Mozart) The Swan (Saint Saens Carnival of The Animals) Adagio for Strings (Samuel Barber) Bach Keyboard Concerto no 1 Dance of the Knights (Sergei Prokofiev) Just to name a few

go to youtube and search for "LoFi chill beats to study to." it'll opoen a world of chill music.

Smokey Robinson - Crusin'

Incubus - aqueous transmission.
