Classic Western songs that soothe the soul

Why not, for once, stop thinking and just let yourself sink into some good music?

In our daily lives, stress tends to build up in ways we don’t even notice.

When that happens, relax your mind by listening to music that’s a little different from your usual.

It’s great in the bath, or before bed in your bedroom—but the top recommendation is to play it while you’re lazily spending a day off.

That’s the best.

When you find a song you like, try it out in all sorts of moments.
