Title: Relaxing music
Post by: QueenOfCamelot on September 16, 2018, 07:33:47 PM
Hi

At the moment I'm finding the following new age music recording beneficial to relax me and control the anger outbursts so thought I'd share:

There is also a Favourite Track of the Day thread too - not necessarily relaxing music but would be good to revive that thread :)

I listen to Classic FM quite a lot. Certainly makes me more relaxed and it virtually the only station we have on in the car.

No.  The 1812 or the William Tell Overture.  :)

Here is 1 of our music threads:  I watched 'the dementia choir' 2 part programmes - uplifting.  Getting people together.  Music heals. Unites.  Energises.  Soothes.  My regret is that I can't go to concerts any more, due to anxiety. But I do other things .......

Couldn't agree more. I listen to Classic FM alot. It really brings my stress levels down.

Yes of course you were. In my mind it is linked to DIY because I listened to the early years of it while painting my old  flat.

Easter reminds me of 'The Nuns' Chorus' from Caverleria Rusticana ........  my Grandad's fav..

Can anyone recommend some uplifing / happy / feelgood music tracks please?I am thinking of putting a playlist together for when I am doing house hold chores and my mind moves to unhealthy / anxious thoughts like not sleeping!

I heard one by The Waterboys on Radio 1 today called ' This is The Sea' - all about
how moods and emotions change  states like water but return eventually.

Thanks.

Haven't heard from the Waterboys for years  ::)

OK - the most uplifting song I know is 'The Mary Ellen Carter' by Artisan.  When I was working in the boarding kennels I would sing it to the dogs and it shut them up barking  ;D

I'll have a look at their play-list because Brian has written a lot of uplifting jaunty songs.

Here we go: from their Driving Home album which you can listen to on-line; those in black are lively!

1.      Going Nowhere                           (Brian Bedford)   Vocals - Artisan

2.   Though I Live Not Where I Love * Listen   (Trad. arr. Artisan)   Vocals - Artisan
3.   Working Men of England   (Trad. arr. Artisan)   Vocals - Artisan (historic)
4.   Poverty Knock                   (Trad. Arr. Artisan)   Vocals - Artisan

5.   Unicorns   (Bill Caddick)   Vocals - Artisan - gives me an ear-worm ;-)

6.   Mary Ellen Carter   (Stan Rogers)   Vocals - Artisan


side 2 -

7.   The Burning Times   (Charlie Murphy)   Vocals - Artisan (historic)

8.   One More Burden   (Brian Bedford)   Vocals - Artisan
9.   Shift and Spin           (Ewan McVicar)   Vocals - Artisan
10.   Mabel                   (Brian Bedford)   Vocals - Artisan

11.   The Coal and Albert Berry   (Brian Bedford)   Vocals - Artisan (historic, haunting)

12.   Buy and Buy * Listen   (Brian Bedford)   Vocals - Artisan

13.   Home                         (Brian Bedford)

Ooo  are you married to a singer songwriter aka Brian? How glam.
I always think if you took some random people into a studio and let them
muck around for a day they could come up with good songs . Not like the bland, howling
rubbish around today...proper songs pre the 1990s. I was listening to early Bowie yesterday
in the car....that man was a modern day mozart. I love all the Brat Pack era stuff too...St Elmos
Fire etc. Although maybe not Meatloaf.....

Ten Green Bottles, Hanging on the Wall
Hands, knees and up-sa-daisy



Nope -  Brian is a friend, married to Jacey.  They live in Yorkshire, the 3rd member is Hilary.
