Relaxing Songs For Those Lazy Sunday Mornings

It’s a Sunday morning here and it’s the perfect day to listen to Relaxing Songs. I don’t want to get out of bed, I don’t want to hear a lot of noise but I want to hear some nice and soothing music. And to top it all off, there’s a cool breeze blowing through my window and I can quickly tell that while the day is going to be warm, it’s going be beautiful too. I’m sure you’ve been in the same situation I’m in on various occasions.

So what types of Relaxing Songs should you listen to?

This post goes through some suggestions you should consider adding to your “Sunday morning chill out music” list.

Piano Ballads

A couple of weeks ago, I wrote about my love of Piano Ballads and how they allow you to listen to some of your favorite ballads in a different yet refreshing way. In some cases, I prefer to listen to the piano version of the song rather than the original version with lyrics. An example of this is the song “Heart Light” by Neil Diamond. While there’s no denying that the song has beautiful lyrics, I feel that the lyrics take away a proportion of the magic from the song. If you haven’t listened to a piano version of this song, I suggest you download for free from that blog post.

In fact, there are a total of 10 piano ballads which you can download for free from that page. In my opinion, you will have a hard time finding a better collection of Relaxing Songs elsewhere on the Web.

Classical Music

While not the main topic of this blog, classical music is considered to be one of the most popular forms of relaxing music. Of course, you have to find those pieces with which your body can relax to. While I’m not an expert at all of classical music, I tend to find that a lot of pieces evoke strong emotions, which is certainly not what you want to find in Relaxing Songs.

One of my favorite pieces of relaxing pieces of classical music is “Clair De Lune” (or Moonlight) by the Late Romantic French composer Claude Debussy. There’s a good chance you’ve heard it before, but if you haven’t, enjoy the video below.

My List

If you are not too keen on piano ballads of classical music, then you want to use my personal list of Relaxing Songs, which I’ve created for those Sunday mornings and those moments where I just need to chill out. They are a collection of pop songs from the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s.

It certainly hasn’t been easy choosing which songs to add to the list because they have to comply with some stringent criteria. The most important one is that the overall beat cannot be too loud or rocky. At the same time, the lyrics must be nice and beautiful.

As a result, my list contains a lot of ballads. It’s not my fault that I’m a hopeless romantic and that I’m currently in the beginning stages of a wonderful relationship. There are also some instrumentals in there.

Here is my list of songs:

Don’t Throw It All Away (Our Love) by Andy Gibb
Love Is Blue by Paul Mauriat
Raindrops Keep Fallin’ On My Head by BJ Thomas
This Guy’s In Love With You by Herb Alpert
Never Gonna Let You Go by Sergio Mendes
Bright Eyes by Art Garfunkel
How Deep Is Your Love by The Bee Gees
My Love by Wings
Kiss From A Rose by Seal
Rise by Herb Alpert
Theme From Mahogany by Diana Ross
Theme From A Summer Place by Percy Faith
Close To You by The Carpenters
Song For Guy by Elton John
Sailing by Christopher Cross
Unforgettable by Nat King & Natalie Cole
Fallen by Lauren Wood
Endless Love by Diana Ross & Lionel Ritchie

I really hope you take advantage of this list and listen to these songs the next time you need to chill out.

I would love to hear your thoughts and opinions on this list of Relaxing Songs as well as any suggestions to add to this list.
