Snow Patrol - Chasing Cars
This song just always seems to calm me down and cause me to ignore the world which is actually kind of what the song is about.
If I have trouble sleeping I will put this song on repeat and it does not take long for me to be asleep.

This weekend was so busy. We had a soccer tournament in Indy so we drove up there Friday night, payed 2 games Saturday, and one this morning. It was cold and wet all weekend. Drove home 3 hours to play 2 indoor games. Grabbed dinner and went home. I was smoked but we needed some stuff to make lunches this week so off to the store I went.
I walk in Publix and as I am choosing my apples this song comes on. Life just instantly slowed down and I thought to myself man I could just lay here in the middle of the floor of the grocery store and fall right asleep.
I come home and wonder if other folks have such a song that just calms them?
So I go to YouTube so I can share the song with you all. I have never actually seen the video and it’s pretty funny because the video is a dude just laying down in completely random places like I wanted to do at Publix when this song came on.

Shitty video quality but it's straight off the artist's page:



Synthwave in general enhances my calm (John Spartan Wink) but I like this track, specifically.

Afternoon Delight by the Starland Vocal Band. I first heard this song while riding shotgun in an old pickup. We were on our way to a blue ribbon trout stream in SE Idaho. That was in the summer of 1976. I was a year out of the Navy. I liked the song then and still do today. Wow - 50 years flew by.

The day I quit my job at St. Joes in Syracuse and headed back west, this came on whilst cruising down I90. I love this dang song and could listen to it all day long



Chasing Cars is a great tune as well.

Pretty much anything by Annie Haslam / Renaissance but "Ocean Gypsy" will relax me immediately.




If you're into bass, check out Jon Camp's action on Vultures beginning at about 13:52. One of music's most under-rated bassists of all time. Sleep well, Jon and thank you.

If I may...

I find this song so unlike typical SRV, but I also admit I don't know his music front to back.
