Songs to listen to as you're going to sleep
 

Wings - Uncle Albert

SCORPIONS - LONESOME CROW

Staind - So Far Away

With the exception of "For You", "Mudshovel", and "Price To Play", any Staind song can put people to sleep... ;)

Gearwhore - Love

The Cure: Pictures of You, Love Song, or Just Like Heaven (if I'm going to bed by myself ;) )

In the arms of the angel_Westlife.

Staind - Epiphany

:up: I'm probably guilty of nodding off to those.

Saint Etienne - Western Wind

anything by Kitaro ( he's the Jean-Michel Jarre from Japan)
can listen to one or two track before falling asleep.( have given it a test already)

Almost any piece from Eno's pure ambient discs :)

Moby - Hymn (alt quiet version)

33 Minutes of blissed out ambience, drifted off to that on numerous occasions over the years.

For bedtime it's usually Synergy, Ozric Tentacles or Johann Sebastian Bach. (One of the few times I'll ever listen to classical.)

Then again, the other night I went to sleep to the Liz Phair Complete Girlysound Demos bootleg I finally got a copy of. ;) Pink Floyd's a pretty good choice for bedtime, too. And if I'm with a girl, then it's a combination of her music and my music (if she likes to go to sleep with music, that is).

Any ballad by the Eagles should do it. Most Pink Floys is good, except for stuff like Bring The Boys Back Home.
Also,

Radiohead - Karma Police
Tool - The Grudge, You Lied, Negative Ions
Led Zeppelin - No Quarter

Good point. No crescendos at bedtime, please. So The Wall is out. :) When I go to sleep to Pink Floyd, it's usually Animals, Meddle or Ummagumma (Live Album).

Anything by Goldfrapp.

Agreed. Wish You Were Here (the album) isn't bad either.

A Perfect Circle can be good sleeping music if you make a mix CD, otherwise there are too many upbeat songs mixed with the slower ones.

Pete Namlook

One of those CD's with waterfalls and thunderstorm sounds and rain

hmmmm. My grandma has one and its pretty cool.

Anything by Alec Empire...

Hmm...How could I forget this one? I almost feel asleep last night to this when I was drawing a picture...

Incubus - Aqueous Transmission

Cafe del Mar (Soft Wave) - Plenitude part II

Moby - Porcelain
George Michael - Father Figure

The Cure's - Trust (Live)

Listening to it right now, and I love how it's mainly instrumental, very soothing with the occasional "I love you, Robert" screamed :)

The version from "Show" ? It is indeed beautiful :)

Yup, from "Show". Somehow I never really listened to it. And one evening I did, and was just amazed at how relaxing it was, especially for being recorded at a concert.

I was terribly ill yesterday (spent the entire day in bed). I listened to Brian Eno - Music For Airports. Talk about fucking weird - it was like music created by machines alone (with no human input)...

I'd say the entire Up On the Sun album by the Meat Puppets is a good fall-asleep-to-album.

Cylob, have you heard No Pussyfootin' by Fripp and Eno? How does Music For Airports compare to it?

Not quite, although the pieces are systems-based, real piano and backing vocals are used on some tracks. MFA is usually considered as the first ambient record ever (though Eno had already released Discreet Music in 1975, that is 3 years beforehand). Other systems-based Eno classics are "Thursday Afternoon" (1985) and "Neroli" (1993) :)

I've been trippin' off to these 2 ambient SHOUTcast streams recently

SomaFM - Drone Zone
http://www.somafm.com/dronezone.pls (128k stream, but they also do 56 & 24)

Mystic Radio
http://mystic1.streamguys.com:7150/listen.pls


Aah, so blissful... ZzZzZzZz

Anything that's New Age Jazz, like Kitaro or Andreas Vollenweider.

I wish there was a New Age Jazz station on SHOUTcast.
I've never understood why there isn't :(

"Stop Lighting Fires" - Dr. Phil

I like a nice bit of ambient last thing at night.

Real thinking music........

it all depends on what's playing at my stations at that moment- could be some darkwave or could be Rythmn & Blues- hell could even be band aid -do they know it's christmas :D

Ahhh, SomaFM :cool: Don't know the other one, will try it someday.
I'll add two others

Mixing Of Particular States => http://www.mops-radio.org/radio3/radio3.php

Sleepbot => http://www.sleepbot.com/ambience/cgi...cgi/listen.pls

MOPS focuses mostly on very quiet, textured ambient. Sleepbot plays all kinds of stuff ranging from noise recordings to ambient classics.

Best ambient streams out there along with Soma.

Beethoven - Piano Concerto No. 5 "Emperor"
Beethoven- 'Moonlight' (Adagio)'
Samuel Barber - Adagio for Strings Op. 11
NiN - A Warm Place
Moby - Gods face over moving water
Delirium - Silence (featuring sarah mclachlan)
...to name a few

Norah Jones is always good for that.

Toni Braxton and Brian McKnight albums...

Hm... then... I listen to John Williams (the classical guitarist) and his Romance Of The Guitar... brilliant!

Metallica - Black album
Metallica - S&M

I really cant remember which songs...

what? :confused: I can fall asleep listening to anything!

Britney Spears - I was Born to Make You Happy

:)
