Hey HN, what is the one song for you that you always gravitate towards when you need to calm your mind, ready or psych your self, overcome a feeling or any of the other multitudes of reasons humans listen to music?


BroHymn by Pennywise. I'm an old 90s punk. Good drinking song...good song to bring you out of a slump.


Pink Floyd - Comfortably Numb (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vi7cuAjArRs)


It changes often but for a long time it was Nils Frahm - My Friend the Forest

https://open.spotify.com/track/6Rkp6fEsvOTR7YxsW5uNyR?si=9ev...

More recently it's Love No More

https://open.spotify.com/track/0uekzdBsjuz76wVo2XOyg3?si=5xl...


Check out Otto Totland if you like Nils Frahm.


Eddie Money - I Wanna Go Back

Helps me accept my predicament and move forward.


To start, I have had a fairly regular tradition over a couple of years to listen to 'Stellardrone - Breath in the light' each morning with my coffee as a way of focusing my mind.


Jim 'Kimo' West - Coconut Hat

I listen to the album to fall asleep - super relaxing.

Fun note: Jim West is Weird Al's guitarist, but is an accomplished slack-key player as well!


Foo Fighters - Everlong. Such a great song.


Springsteen - Dancing In The Dark

Don‘t know why, but it‘s an immediate boost to my mood every single time.


Devin Townsend Project - Kingdom


Beatles - 'getting better' or 'long tall Sally'


Tornado of Souls by Megadeth.

That entire album is outrageously good.


Beethoven's 7th, 2nd Movement, Allegretto


what else is there - royksopp

I once listened to it for 6 hours straight to help put the finish a project


Dream On by Areosmith


Bob Seger - Shakedown


Killer Instinct OST
