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.
-
I was raised on the Classics ........... not all relaxing ::)
-
No. The 1812 or the William Tell Overture. :)
-
To march to ;)
I would love to do the drum roll at the end of Nimrod ;)

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.

At Easter did you listen to the classic countdown? I do.

I usually do but was away over Easter this year.

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.
