I'm not really quite sure what these songs best fit with, but I imagine listening to them while lying down in a field gazing at the brilliant stars on a cool but comfortable summer night. Just peaceful and completely relaxed.
- Patient Love by Passenger. First of all, let me just say that Passenger is amazing, and any of their songs are worthy of being on this playlist. Patient Love is a song full of both happy and sad emotions, but is overall very chill. There's even a line in the song about "staring at the stars ."
- Down to the Sea by Elephant Revival. This song is a little more fast-paced than the others, but nonetheless it is just as beautiful. I love the combination of the violin and cello and guitar and it all just sounds so good overall.
- Gold by the cast of Once the Musical. Gahhhh this song is just so amazing and perfect for relaxing and getting lost in the stars. It's such a genuine love song, and has such a comforting folksy feel to it. Check out the a cappella version too-- so incredibly beautiful and mesmerizing.
- First Breath After Coma by Explosions in the Sky. Here's the odd one out, in that this song is purely instrumental and nine and a half minutes long.. I love this song because it almost forces you to clear your mind and just listen to the incredibly relaxing music- but it's also a good song to reflect to. The repeated rhythms are lulling but not boring, and it's altogether very relaxing.
- Timshel by Mumford and Sons. Timshel is one of the most beautiful and haunting songs I have ever heard. The lyrics are powerful, the vocals are powerful, and the sole acoustic guitar is powerful. Every time I listen to this song my whole body goes limp-- it's that moving. Perfect for relaxing and just melting into the Earth.
