Stressed? These are allegedly the ten best songs for reducing anxiety
Everyone uses music to relax. But is there a way to maximize the amount of anxiety reduction? Yes, according to neuroscience.
Fast Company reports that these ten songs as the best for reducing anxiety. This is science, people.
- “We Can Fly,” by Rue du Soleil (Café Del Mar)
- “Canzonetta Sull’aria,” by Mozart
- “Someone Like You,” by Adele
- “Pure Shores,” by All Saints
- “Please Don’t Go,” by Barcelona
- “Strawberry Swing,” by Coldplay
- “Watermark,” by Enya
- “Mellomaniac (Chill Out Mix),” by DJ Shah
- “Electra,” by Airstream
- “Weightless,” by Marconi Union
Let’s have a sample. According to the boffins in the white lab coats, this one track will bring your anxiety levels down by as much as 65%.
Here’s a public playlist of the entire top ten. Refrain from driving or using heavy machinery while listening.
Wouldn’t ANY song that you like, can sing along to, get lost in, or play air guitar to…be a stress reducer?
For example, those who partake in Slayer could find their 1986 masterpiece “Reign In Blood” record to be a stress reducer…while those who prefer the classical genre could find Tchaikovsky’s “The Year 1812 Solemn Overture, festival overture in E♭ major, Op. 49” (with cannons for full effect) to be soothing to the soul.
It all depends on each individual.
You Can’t Bring Me Down by Suicidal Tendencies is my stress reducer!
