Musick hath charms to sooth a savage Breast,
To soften rocks, or bend a knotted oak …
From an early age, we learn that certain songs absolutely clear the stress right out of our systems every time we hear them.

Love your picks, some of my faves to sooth frazzled nerves:

Seals & Crofts ~ Summer Breeze
George Harrison ~ All Things Must Pass
Enya ~ almost anything
Oh yeah … Seals & Crofts … “Blowin with the jasmine in my mind …”
Into the Mystic – Van Morrison
Away from the Sun – 3 Doors Down
She Talks to Angels – The Black Crowes
Walkin’ in Memphis – Marc Cohn
Fallin’ for You – Colbie Caillat
I love the video for “Away from the Sun” … the one with the boy trying to climb the cliff. Very inspirational.
