*OT* Music...

Post by Chaocontrol6 » Thu Dec 20, 2007 10:38 pm

Well I'm trying to listen to relaxing music to try and cope with things, however sometimes when I listen to chill radio some off the songs seem almost depressing and make me feel like wanting to SI more because it makes me sad.

I've found one band called "Royksopp" and they are awesome!!! Has anyone heard of them? And if you have or not do you know of any sort of relaxing bands that I could find the music and download to my phone, so in an emergency or in the need to relax I can listen to it?

Thanks :D :D :D :D

I usualy listen to Robbie William's when I'm feeling down. >.< (not the best music taste in the world, i know, but it's kind of a "last resort" listen)

Or random song's like Katrina & The Waves - "Walking On Sunshine", Blur - "Parklife", Gnarl's Barkley - "Smily Faces", Avril Lavigne - "Who Knows", Simon Webbe - "Coming Around Again".

That's all I can think of from the top of my head.

But they're more happy, rather than relaxing..
I don't know, sorry.

Which genre are Royksopp classed as? I might try a few of their song's.
don't worry if i'm not here - i come and go. :cowsleep:

Yeh sometimes I need happy songs, I hate listening to sad songs when I'm down, just makes me cry more lol :P

And Royksopp on most of their songs are considered Electronica/Dance, some have no catergory though, limewire ftl :-?

try sigur ros

it's not in english, it's written in their own language so unlikely to stress you out in any way ;)

If you want some fun songs I suggest some songs from Enchanted... yeah I know it's a Disney movie... BUT ITS THAT GOOD!! I got the soundtrack, it's that good. A relaxing song on the soundtrack is "So Close" by Jon Mclaughlin, hum... some other songs... well depends if you want slow songs well I'm not too good at finding slow songs. Now songs to cheer you up.... Legally Blonde the musical has some really good songs. "Chip On My Shoulder" IS REALLY REALLY REALLY GOOD! Hum... hope I helped :)

I listen to some songs in different languages if I don't want the words to trigger me :wink: Rammstein is a great german band.

I listen to a lot of Modest Mouse when I'm really urgy.

What genre do you like?

If i need some relaxing music i usually listen to Modest Mouse, Coldplay or Biffy Clyro's song Machines. And Linkin Park's Shadow of the day.
And if you like metal or great guitar riffs, Mastodon's Sleeping Giant is a great song.

Some of those might be little depressing, but that depends on what you consider as depressing. :3

Royksopp. Yeah, probably didn't spell that right but I've heard of 'em.

When my brain gets too messed I usually put on some Tetsuya Komuro or TM NETWORK.
there is, in the end, the letting go.

Axwell is fantastic! and Swedish!

There are some happy songs by him, and ... well, I'll think about it.
