Thread: What is your favourite Chill-out music?

AC/DC, Metallica, Dire Straits, etc. and classic rock, medium metal.

Some of the many long "recorded live" jams from Grateful Dead.

I've got you under my skin ONLY by the great fAs (Francis Albert Sinatra) of course. A lot of his music actually. (something stupid, born free, fly me to the moon, come fly with me, that's life)

Also, sade, nice choice. (smooth operator, sweetest taboo)

Tasmin Archer (sleeping satellite)

I like some of Lana del Rey's music from her more moody period. (born to die, ride, ultraviolence, high by the beach, young and beautiful, etc.)

Mozarts requiem

Bob Dylan & Johnny Cash (girl from the north country)

Chi Coltrane (you were my friend)

Bangles (going down to liverpool, eternal flame)

Lykke Li (unrequited love)

Clint mansell (Lux Aeterna)

Jennifer Warnes (somewhere, somebody)

Al green (how can you mend a broken heart)

Dido (white flag, here with me)

Adele (someone like you)

Norah Jones (come away with me, don't know why, creepin in)

James Blunt (goodbye my lover)

London Grammar (Hey now, strong, wasting my young years)

I realize some songs are a bit to up beat for some to be mellow but eh. In any case, the list is endless since:

John Miles (music was my first love)

Hello P,

Thank you for posting such an extensive list of your go to 'mellow' tunes. Each of us are different and what works for one person as their song to chill-out to may not be effective for someone else. It is about what works for you.

One of Adele's video clips provides a great example of capturing the influence of bass not vibrations. Where the drummer playing in an alcove supposedly is captured by the floor covered with glasses filled with water start to vibrate. The same bass vibrations are transmitted via speakers into our bodies and this in turn can either soothe or excite our neural system. Depending upon the beat of the music being played. Okay - too technical and probably does not fit in with this post. However, it is one of my 'go to' examples of demonstrating the effect of bass tones to people.

Hello All,

Here is another example of 'mellow' and it is from an Australian band ...Accessed 28th September 2023 from. Mondo Rock - State of the Heart Mondo Rock - State of the Heart (1981) - YouTube

There are a lot of lyrics in this song that I was personally experiencing when the song was first released. It was my first 'serious' relationship. She was a high school teacher and I was an assistant pastry cook. Yes, I went through a range of jobs before I worked in horticulture and found my chosen vocation. Anyway, it frequently worked out that with our different working hours ... we only 'had from six until seven (pm) to work things out' ... No, we did not manage to do so. Some of the other lyrics are also so spot on; however, I will not elaborate on them...

Well, this song explains pretty well what State of the Heart I was left in . Yep I fell pretty hard and ... listen to the lyrics... Keith Hampshire - First Cut Is The Deepest 1973 Keith Hampshire - First Cut Is The Deepest - YouTube ... Accessed 28th September 2023.
