Favorite music to destress with?

[205769933]

Hey! I was wondering if you guys had any music that would be perfect to destress with that isn't too sad. I personally love Strawberry Swing by Coldplay.

[Paige Steffler]

I think it can depend on your music preference but I usually feel like classical music can be very calming. There are some very beautiful pieces, and I find when there are no words then I can zone out and destress much easier. One piece I like that's not too sad is called Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis.

Hello! I really like Chinese music lol, so I've been listening to a lot of 嗖 (roughly translates as "Swish"), an album by indie artist 小六 (https://open.spotify.com/album/2gKzdxyHxuvlYSo3YIKVW1). The Lofi Girl stream is also a staple of stuff-I-listen-to :D (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5qap5aO4i9A).

I am a huge fan of Lorde and her most recent album, Solar Power, is very poetic and minimal. It is not distracting and just has overall chill vibes.

I find listening to classical music helpful. One song specifically that I enjoy is on Soundcloud and you can find it by typing in, "Johann Sebastian Bach: Violin Concerto in A minor:1." This may sound random but it makes me feel as though I am part of the show Brigerton from Netflix teehee :)

Hey!
I like to listen to a lot of Spanish music on the daily, but especially when wanting to destress because a lot of the genres are very uplifting and bring up my mood.

I like the Star Wars theme music.

Personally, I find anything by Jack Johnson really peaceful and good for destressing, specifically banana pancakes and better together!

Not music, but healing tones are SO CALMING!!!! Just type in 432 or 396 Hertz into Youtube or Spotify and the frequencies will reduce stress, improve sleep, and literally just generate positive vibes in your body& mind. I'm such a fan. Hope you find them as relaxing as I do!

Okay I may ramble a bit so I'm sorry in advance! Lo-fi is very soothing imo. I love The Marias and their music, so listening to their songs help me destress a lot. Chinese meditation music also helps so much, as do artists such as Ichiko Aoba and Lamp. Bossa nova type music is very calming.

Brazilian musical genres samba and pagode

[Travis Wang 2G]

I enjoy listening to Baroque when I need to relax, Bach, Vivaldi, etc. Recently though, I've been enjoying Mozart and I have to say the Piano Concerto No. 21 is really calming.

Hi! This isn't an actual genre, but when I'm really stressed, I love watching SNL clips on youtube or interviews with Jimmy Kimmel/Jimmy Fallon and Conan (obviously). Comedy is always needed in times of stress. Give it a shot!

[Esmeralda_Solis_2D]

I enjoy listening to instrumental music because it's very calming.

[Vashe Sundar 3H]

I usually listen to R&B and mellow rap. Some of my favorite artists include SZA, Kid Cudi, and Frank Ocean.

[eve444]

usually heavy metal works, surprisingly.

[Caitlin Gee 2K]

rock music is very nice imo, but if you like calmer things, classical guitar.

[Alexis DeHorta 2A]

Hello!

I hope you are doing well! I know stress isn't fun. I always say that Lofi is a go-to for those who prefer to study or do homework while listening to non-distracting music (music that isn't intense or have words, so just instrumentals or beats). I personally love piano music! I think that it's so inspirational, and it really sets the mood when I am trying to get work done.
I also realized that when I do homework, I often find myself wanting to listen to 2000's throwbacks, as weird as that may sound. I guess it gets me "pumped" to do work. Hope this helps and good luck with your studying!

[Shay Crookall 2L]

Nintendo soundtracks!

[Arad_Badiee_2B]

Frank Sinatra is pretty good!

[Lizzy Bulla 3K]

My personal favorite is In My Feelings by Drake. It's kind of lowkey I don't know if you've heard of it but it's a certified destresser if you play it on repeat while you study

[Karen Harrison 1L]

Hi,
Honestly, this time of year, Christmas music (Michael Buble, Kelly Clarkson, Frank Sinatra) helps me destress because it puts my mind into the Christmas spirit and it's a reminder of the fun times I will have with friends and families this upcoming holiday season. Another thing that helps me destress is aromatherapy, so lighting a wonderfully scented candle helps me relax.
Hope this helps!

Look up the band "The Cannons". Their music is very vibey and relaxing!!

I do this too! I find that it's too easy for me to become a soulless studying machine during finals season and listening to Christmas music reminds me that I'm a human being and that there's more to life than finals. Aside from the holiday classics, I love listening to Ariana Grande and Kacey Musgraves's Christmas songs.

If you are trying to destress but still need to study, I recommend Christmas Lo-fi music. It is fun but still allows you to stay focused.
