I need calm and comforting songs for when I’m panicked or stressed. Thx in advance

#1

Dust in the wind - Kansas
Three Little Birds - Bob Marley (really any bob marley song)
New Morning - Darren Criss version i find more relaxing than Bob Dylan's original version.
Nature Boy - Aurora (though other versions are nice too)
Those Nights - Bastille
Vor i Vaglaskogi - Kaleo
Shrike - Hozier
NFWMB (acoustic) - Hozier
Gold - Chet Faker
What You Need - The Weeknd
Clair de Lune - Ann Annie (has a super cool ethereal quality)
Electric Feel - Moscow Times (it's more calming imo than MGMT)
Gooey - Glass Animals
Sunflower - Post Malone
Far Away - Jose Gonzalez (Not JUNIP)
Habit - Still Woozy
God is a woman - Aurora cover
Cherry Wine - Hozier
Grapevine Fires - Death Cab for Cutie
Parting Glass - Ed Sheeran or Hozier

...I tried to pick from a variety of genres. I hope this helps.

    Here's the songs I have on my playlist for when I get anxious:
    Afraid- Tenth Avenue North
    All This Time- OneRepublic
    Atlas Falls- Shinedown
    Embers- Owl City
    Fix You- Coldplay
    Flares- The Script
    Grow As We Go- Ben Platt
    I'll Fight- Daughtry
    I'm Still Me- Rush Garcia
    It's Not Right- The Script
    King- Lauren Aquilina
    Life Is Beautiful- The Afters
    Look At the Sky- Porter Robinson
    Oh, What A Life- American Authors
    Scars (Come With Living)- Tobymac
    Something Comforting- Porter Robinson
    Sweet Time- Porter Robinson
    Tell Your Heart to Beat Again- Danny Gokey
    This Isn't the End- Owl City
    Truth Be Told- Matthew West

    And when I'm stressed, I tend to listen to the first three albums of Owl City and/or OneRepublic (I grew up with them, so they're nostalgic and calming) or Rush Garcia (I've curated that one to be the calmer songs that he has cuz he does a lot of videogame covers and all that).

    You should try the first songs of the 'Sounds of the Satellites' - Album by Laika (Prairie Dog, Breather, Out of Sight and Snowblind, Starry Night).
    They're more like space music, cool and relaxing.

    Children of the CPU - Faerie Tale Endings
    Your typically cozy song.

    Maybe also some Maya Jane Coles, the Album 'Take Flight'.
    Good for grey, rainy days with mist.

    Or Halfaxa by Grimes. The album is calm, but also kinda spiritual.

    Maybe even some tracks by Massive Attack. Some single tracks from Mezzdanine maybe (dark and warm atmosphere) like Teardrop.

    Oh! And Babbles - Just Like you. You could really like that, its so calm.

    This may not be a genre that you're into, but when I'm spooled up and need to relax, there's an album called "Celtic Guitar" by Michael Hromek. I'll try to post a link to YouTube for the album because I don't know if it's available on Spotify. Some parts are faster than others but nothing is too intense.
