Soothing Music for an Anxious Mind

**Maige** · 02-12-2013, 11:52 PM

There was a thread not long back of someone asking for soothing music for her iPod but I can't find it...so I figured I might as well start a new one for anyone who believes that music can help them calm down from a panic attack brought on by our shared fear. c: Just a little thread to share some nice sounding melodies together, the ones that help bring us all out of our panicked states.

I usually have video game OSTs...two specifically: Okami and To the Moon.

This is my favourite from Okami: The Sun Rises.
Not only do I love traditional Japanese music, but it brings out a wonderful nostalgic sense in me, a time to back when I was twelve, in front of my TV with the PS2 controller in my hands, trying fruitlessly to beat this game.

And this is my favourite from To the Moon (though it's hard to choose from this game): The main theme.
This game is gorgeous - and if anyone here likes online games and would like something that's a nice change of pace, something that's calm and collected, though really saddening, I deeply recommend it! Whenever I'm anxious, I just start up a new file and I'm instantly lulled into the beautifully crafted story telling. Many of the games made by Freebird Games are the same - this particular one is only twelve bucks and you only get about five hours of playthrough but God it's soothing and heart wrenching and I should stop before I get onto writing a review.

So, what music do you listen to and why does it calm you? o v o

Edit: Another great To the Moon one. I just can't help but share the music of this game!
