Music For Walking At Night
Sometimes I do enjoy walking around at nighttime. Being alone for a while and just gathering my thoughts. Besides its really relaxing, especially if you have the right music playing in your earphones. List is digs. |
| 30 | Clint Mansell
Together We Will Live Forever
Song is from the movie "The Fountain". Incredible piece of art (both the song and the movie). |
| 29 | Clubroot
Eastern Promise
As I am a huge traveling enthusiast, I was in Georgia Last year. My daily ritual was to take a long walk through the city at night. Clubroot and this song in particular did a great job in setting the mood. Definitely a recommendation to every one. |
| 28 | Year Of No Light
Abbesse
Essence of darkness captured in a song. |
| 27 | Matt Elliott
Dust, Flesh And Bones
"Some things are so dark that woe betide the light that shines on them.
Some things scar your heart so deeply that a howl is not enough".
Moody as fuck. Anyone else gets Tom Waits vibe? |
| 26 | Late
Losing You
Very suitable for nocturnal walks in winter. |
| 25 | Trespassers William
Different Stars
Probably one of my all time favorites. First time I heard this song was in the move "Love song for Bobby Long". I immediately googled for the soundtrack after the movie and I wasn't disappointed. |
| 24 | Mono
Burial At The Sea
A song that carries a huge emotional punch. The guitar melody at the beginning is outstanding. |
| 23 | Mogwai
Take Me Somewhere Nice
Good music for? a sleepless night. |
| 22 | The Antlers
Kettering
A really sad song with equally sad message. |
| 21 | Slowdive
Dagger
The World is full of noises. |
| 20 | The Beatles
Yeasterday
When I was an exchange student I had troubles coping with Swiss lifestyle, interacting with my host-family and longing for home on a few occasions. This is what pulled me through the toughest moments back then. Now just a reminder of what bitch can life sometimes be. |
| 19 | Thrice
Digital Sea
Used to listen to this song when I was an exchange student in Switzerland. Swiss landscape, fresh air and memories of home. |
| 18 | The XX
Infinity
Their best song imo. |
| 17 | The Magnetic Fields
Time Enough For Rocking When We Are Old
But tonight I think I rather just go dancing. |
| 16 | M83
Splendor
Has a kind of an epic feel to it. Definitely a favorite from "Hurry up, We are dreaming". |
| 15 | Burial
Archangel
Fostercare, endorphin and untrue would be follow-ups. Music for a lonely subway ride. |
| 14 | Lights Out Asia
X-33
I would have put Radars Over the Ghosts of Chernobyl here, but I think this creates the mood better. |
| 13 | Nine Inch Nails
A Warm Place
Their ambient songs are the only ones I enjoy from NIN. This in particular has a nice nighttime vibe to it. |
| 12 | Kings Of Convenience
24-25
This song is completely perfect. Reminds me? of sitting on the lonesome dock at the lake on a summer night, playing my guitar and watching the occasional boat pass by in the moonlight. |
| 11 | Jamie Woon
Night Air
Night air has the strangest flavor. |
| 10 | Idenline
Hearts Lullaby
Simply beautiful. |
| 9 | Koan Sound & Asa
Hesitation
The very moment your mind drifts away. |
| 8 | God Is An Astronaut
Forever Lost
When I first heard this song for the first time it reminded me of a dear friend whom I lost in a tragic accident few years ago. It reminds me ever since how fragile can humans and their relationships be. |
| 7 | Swarms
I Gave You Everything
No chill music list is complete without these guys. Flikr Of Ur Eyes or Roulette are awesome too. |
| 6 | Essay & CoMa
Deceptive
Evokes a sense of belonging and happiness. Like laying on the beach on a summer night with someone who is dear to you and enjoying the moment. Hearing nothing but the waves crashing contempt on the land. |
| 5 | Carbon Based Lifeforms
Frog
Relatively underrated ambient music duo from Sweden. Captures the mood perfectly. |
| 4 | Bon Iver
Wisconsin
Extremely underrated song, which comes in as a bonus track of "For Emma, Forever Ago". |
| 3 | Aphex Twin
Stone In Focus
Aphex twin ambience > Brian Eno. |
| 2 | Agalloch
Limbs
Fusing elements of folk music and black metal done right. Brings chills every time when at the third minute the acoustic guitars come in. Has kind of an winter-ish fell to it. |
| 1 | Phaeleh
Afterglow
One of the most beautiful pieces of music ever created imo. Perfectly creates the atmosphere. If you are into slow and melodic electronic music, this is a must. |
