Vor i Vaglaskogi - Kaleo
Shrike - Hozier
NFWMB (acoustic) - Hozier

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

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.

We're no strangers to love
You know the rules and so do I (do I)
A full commitment's what I'm thinking of
You wouldn't get this from any other guy
I just wanna tell you how I'm feeling
Gotta make you understand
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
We've known each other for so long
Your heart's been aching, but you're too shy to say it (say it)
Inside, we both know what's been going on (going on)
We know the game and we're gonna play it
And if you ask me how I'm feeling
Don't tell me you're too blind to see
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna let you down
Never gonna run around and desert you
Never gonna make you cry
Never gonna say goodbye
Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you
