I thought this song was interesting.

3 hours Gregorian chants in Latin- Written by St. Thomas Aquinas, known as the doctor of the church....
Listen & feel your tight muscles begin relaxing away from your bones...lol...

Online certainly opens up a lot of available music....I absolutely love it, many genres at you finger tips. Whatever you want, its there.

Im mentioning non-pop, non-rock stuff here, but most every band and artists has songs that for this post title too- that list would be endless from the last 50 years.

Some cheezy 60s-70s old country pop is pretty relaxing too..like Glen Campelle's version of Gentile on my mind and County Lineman. .

As far as relaxing, there is plenty of non-band "massage" music for meditating with the water trickle sound ect, I can only deal with that for a while though.

For relaxing, I like old school stringed acoustic guitar stuff, mandolins ect , relaxing and uplifting: mello flamenco, Spanish guitar ect. Theres even some awesome harp music on you tube, never thought Id say that. Some very little know gifted artists online today. I just put any of those words on the YouTube search and there it is. I like clasical guitar too for both.

Funny, what got me into old school guitar style (including mandolins) was when I first heard Led Zeppelins Battle of Evermore off Zep IV, as a young 70's teen. Opposite of metal. The stringed arrangements are candy to you ears, lyrics are somewhat dark but mythical/fantasy from Hobbit / Lord of the rings.

If you've not heard the version of "Over the Rainbow" by Eva Cassidy, it's also very good: https://youtu.be/2rd8vktt8xy

ANother interesting version is by Melody Gardot: https://youtu.be/e_gzb__3rfc

oh....another lost "relaxing genre"..... any 1960's "Bossa Nova", ..........some younger people might be thinking like,"whats that?" Hint: " Girl from Ipanema" - a popular example that you've certainly heard at least once in your life.

That's a favorite genre of mine, too. There's short YouTube video from 1967 with Frank Sinatra and Antonio Carlos Jobim singing a Bossa Nova medley of songs that includes "The Girl From Ipanema." That year, they also recorded a studio album together. In 1968, the album was nominated for a Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Unfortunately, they lost to The Beatles.

If I only listed to the same old classic rock songs my buddies have for the last 40 years(!!!), I would have lost my mind years ago. Oddly enough, I like new alternative, but that's not what I consider relaxing AND uplifting.

(I'm a music geek I guess.)

I'm definitely a music geek, too, but my music focus is mostly the 1930s to the mid-1960s and also the 1980s.
