According to scientists, this is the most relaxing tune ever recorded

This eight minute song is a beautiful combination of arranged harmonies, rhythms and bass lines and thus helps to slow the heart rate, reduce blood pressure and lower levels of the stress. The song features guitar, piano and electronic samples of natural soundscapes.

A study was conducted on 40 women, who were connected to sensors and had been given challenging puzzles to complete against the clock in order to induce a level of stress. Different songs were then played, to test their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and brain activity. The results showed that the song Weightless was 11 per cent more relaxing than any other song and even caused drowsiness among women in the lab. It induced a 65 per cent reduction in overall anxiety and brought them to a level 35 per cent lower than their usual resting rates.

Well if anyone is having trouble sleeping or chilling out try feasting your ears on this lovely peace of music it might just do the drink. It may well be the most relaxing piece of music every composed. I certainly found it very relaxing.. Not recomended when driving..

and if anyone would like the more hardcore version... Here is the ten hour version.

I really didnt like the tune, was very soulless, more boring than relaxing.

How about something from Blade runner




Or Enigma ?

Well, science can't always be right. I think it's pretty overloaded.

Nice is there a download mp3 version, I suffer extreme insomnia, some of which I just stop breathing for second, but this might be useful.

Thanks

science ain't got doodoo on my native american playlist. if that's the best scienctists can come up with then they really are dumber then i thought

Pink Floyd has the best relaxation sounds out there.



Just add headphones.

cool

^ that is not a way to contribute to a thread, I know, but I have to go to sleep now (not because of the tune)

mmm nice. I was going to add some Floyd but i left it for someone else

Why do I feel like I am getting really small so small, I might climb into the vacuum! I sure hope no Tall people come by and ask me if I am small, or say hey we can tell you are small and try to measure me....

I made it through a minute and wanted to start screaming and pounding my head against the wall, sooooo, nope, not for me! I'm usually quite diverse in my musical tastes, too.

If I listened to it for 8 minutes???? I don't think anyone wants to see that story as it would end "and there was blood everywhere."

Wow. Ok. I guess I really need to R-E-L-A-X - but that doesn't do it for me...

Sorry science.

peace,

It didn't sound good for me, but then again I am not a scientist. That must be the reason why it didn't relax me.

A few years back the BBC did a study and found that Van Morrison's "Into the Mystic" was the song most preferred by surgeons.



I do like to relax to it and that well placed sax riff adds such a mellow tone to it.

Sorry, good try but I didn't really like it either. Maybe they should have added more guys to the testing pool.

Now gimme some of that Pink Floyd to sleep by anytime.

I think most BORING tune ever recorded may be more accurate. I kept waiting for the song to start but it just kept droning on like the intro that never ends.

IMHO, THIS is the most relaxing tune ever. I've listened to it dozens of times when stressed out and it never fails to help.

Yes, another good one, I have this in my music rotation as well. I guess there must be a distinction between listening to "relax / de-stress" or simple " need to get some sleep" which is how I felt with the one chosen by scientists.

I dunno to each their own. I think it's not very relaxing but then again I've grown up in the country. Sounds of summer insects and the falling rain always put me in a relaxed mood.

its so beautiful, thanks ill be listening to this tonight when I go to sleep instead of my melatonin.

I've known this a long time. I listen to a lot of ambient and it's very relaxing. Oftentimes it's euphoric. Sometimes it's faster paced and more exciting.

According to that list, DJ Shah - Mellomaniac was #3 most relaxing song. I listened to some of it and I like it, but honestly, there's soooo much more out there. Don't limit yourself.

I particularly like the music artist Solar Fields. It's the best.

Listen to samples here for the Blue Moon Station album:
www.discogs.com - Solar Fields Blue Moon Station...

Google chill-out music.

But I think no everybody is made for this kind of music. I'm a low key kind of guy and very spacey and this kind of music supercharges me and takes me to another world. It's like a drug. I don't think it does for everyone. You can't make one song for everyone and then say no other music needs to be made. People are different.
