Led Zeppelin in general.
Diana Ross - I’m coming out
never fails
IDK if it counts as instrumental, but I swear this shit hipnotizes me and takes me to a dark cave which is warm and peaceful at the same time. It’s Aphex Twin’s “Stone in focus”.
There’s a cover of it by Benoit Pioulard that is quite good.
I’ve listened to it, and kudos for having the balls to cover such piece, but come on. Nothing sounds like “Stone in focus”. Close you eyes and play it, it’s like a 10 minute vacation.
Don’t get me wrong, the original is great. The cover was the version I stumbled upon first though and I find it more relaxing, especially when I am in pain.
“Journey of the Sorcerer” - Eagles
Side note, it was used as the theme for the original Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy BBC radio show.
I stumbled across this years ago and listen to it as loud as I can when I’m in a bad mood. It works.
Now playing Sabaton - White Death
I know it’s kinda basic but either the Gurren Lagaan music or just a rewatch of the show/movie.
Never fails to shake me out of a stupor and remind me that no matter the obstacles life throws at you, there’s always a way forward, even if it might not be the way forward you initially wanted.
Revolutionary optimism before I knew what it was, haha.
Also that sometimes things can get so bad you gotta be a tiny bit illogical. 😅
This is my victory song
Trust The Light - KNOWER One of those “I’m dealing with heavy shit and need some help getting out of bed” songs. Not traditionally “motivational-sounding”, but idk it works for me.
And probably most of the Undertale OST. Idk I put a lot of emotional weight behind a lot of those tracks.
It’s more than a little on the nose, but Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollility by Holst, especially this abridged arrangement, is something I reach for at the end of a rough day. Usually stops me from going to bed mad, or in a thought spiral.
That it’s a relic of the flash mob fad from however many years ago doesn’t hurt, either. A spoonful of ironic nostalgia helps the medicine go down.
Beware - Death Grips
Pumpkin and JPOD. Both are DJs. Listen to their full DJ sets, like on sound cloud, etc.
