Looking for good relaxation cd's PLS help :)

Post by Guest » Sun Feb 05, 2006 1:51 am

I am looking for good cds to relax to. However im a little bit on the picky side. I dont like birds, especialy seagulls caues they are just too squacky. I also dont like high pitched insturments like violins and pianos. Does anyone know of some good soft and mellow stuff?

I hope someone can suggest something! Thanks!!!

i have a calming cd i have made up of tracks that calm me down. they are not classical/birsong type things though, they all have lyrics.

some of them...
hallelujah- jess buckley
let me show you the way- natasha thomas (the one from the lacoste pink advert)
switching off- elbow
shake those windows- athlete
same deep water as me- i am kloot
pure shores- all saints
for me this is heaven- jimmy eat world
dosed- red hot chili peppers
safe- travis

i can post the whole list if you think thats the sort of thing you are looking for.

my relaxing cds that are all one artist=
elbow
norah jones
athlete
travis
coldplay

the idea of using seagulls to relax scares me- does anyone do that?? lol

hope you manage to find something relaxing :)
