Music For Withdrawal

brunyan · 01-07-2011, 10:13 AM

Just wanted to post some music here that I think could really help some people, like myself, cope with what is going on in their lives.

Stars Of the Lid:

Gorgeous ambient/film/drone music that can help you sleep/relax

And my personal favorite

Helios

http://www.last.fm/music/Helios/Eingya?ac=helios

or

Helios - Halving the Compass <---- my fav song

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj55nG2tkKw

A Score to a film that doesnt exist. This one has helped me through a lot.

You can buy all of this on ITUNES and elsewhere. highly reccomended.

I know this is an old thread, but I figured I'd add to it instead of starting my own.

Jack's Mannqeuin- The Glass passenger has been my constant companion these past few weeks.

Andy (the singer/songwriter) battled leukemia, and so the album was inspired by that. Though we wage a different battle, the sentiment is the same.

A few of my personal favorites:
Swim http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sA8PaIw5gcE
I have a tattoo inspired by this song..."Find the Horizon"

Hammers and Strings http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQoxgEKmTIU

Caves is another good one, but I can't find a good video of the album version.

'I'll stand by you' by The Pretenders reminds me how lucky I have to have such an amazing husband supporting me through this, who loves me, understands me and does not judge me. I am blessed!

hi - I find that the artist "WAYRA" is invigorating and powerful yet relaxing. I especially like the compilation "Ancestral Home". These are Native American Chants combined with nature and a little rock- very unique and cool on the mind.

I am half Native and play an F# cedar flute so I am drawn to this -

Sigur Ros for me, very, VERY soothing.
They're an ambient Icelandic band who sing in "Vonlenska" aka "Hopelandic", which is a constructed kind of nonsense language without any actual semantic meaning, but which still sounds very Icelandic - a bit like speaking in tongues really. There's something about the syllables (not to mention the vocals and sounds and keys they use) which lull my brain every time.

Wow we have the same taste I love all those bands. Are you in your 20s as well? I just know you will love this
