Title: The most relaxing song in the world.
Post by: Deacon on November 19, 2011, 10:19:15 PM
Heralded by TIME as one of the year's 50 best inventions, and named the "Most Relaxing Song", I decided to look into it.

Oh.
My.
God.

Copied the thing:
"Could this be the sleeping pill of the future? British ambient band Marconi Union has drummed up the world's most relaxing song: 'Weightless' is 8 min. 10 sec. of aural bliss, proven to reduce anxiety by 65% and slow heart rates by 35% as the listener's body rhythm syncs with the song's. Indeed, 'Weightless' is so successful at inducing somnolence that scientists caution drivers not to listen to it while behind the wheel."

Opinions needed, now.
Mine personally, just listening to it, it is quite relaxing. I have my big headphones, the lights are off, and I'm comfortable.
I think the pulsating beat in the background is a very primal way of getting you to calm down. Regardless of what the commentariat on youtube thinks.

Man, that was relaxing.
You could probably use this for a multiple of things and have it be pretty effective.

Ofcourse, the text about being cautious of listening to it while driving, I don't really believe in. Stuff like that never really happens to me. BUT I'm not sure considering I can't even drive. To me it just seems like something to make the music sound more tasteful.

Eh. It seems kind of boring, even for ambient techno :v

You should listen to some stuff from solar fields.

Heres some really chillout stuff.

Solar Fields - Sky Trees (HD) (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OMH6THjJi-Q#ws)

------------
This is one of his more aggressive tracks though.

SOLAR FIELDS - brainbow (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGZYmnsaJNk#)

And this is my personal favorite from him.

I didn't intend for this to become a music battle: I just found it strange that "studies" were conducted with this one song claiming "most relaxing in the world"

Nobody said anything about a music battle ._.

Stop assuming everyone trying to 1-up you ._.

You made a thread based off of a relaxing song. All we're doing is sharing some of our favorite chill out music too.

I made a thread talking about an article claiming that this song was scientifically proven to be relaxing, and the writers claim it as one of the years 50 best inventions.
I don't even particularly like it, I just thought it was interesting, and listening to it to understand the underlying "symptoms" it caused.

And I'm not worried about people 1-up'ing me either, I could give a shit. I just wanted to talk about what I posted, rather than have it deflected into "I like this more"


and
god dammit




done
