| Comforting Songs
Just a list of songs I find comforting | | 1 |  | Jeromes Dream
Presents
"35" - This one takes a little bit to "kick in". It's essentially a repetative, 5-6 minute instrumental,
but there's just something about the way the guitars wail that make you feel good, happy,
uplifted. | | 2 |  | Foetus
Love
"Don't Want Me Anymore" - Probably the closest thing Foetus has ever gotten to Ambient music,
the way the synths simply drift around your head just makes you want to sleep | | 3 |  | Pg. 99
Document #6
"Going South" - This track is a short piano instrumental in very low quality, it sounds like it was
recorded back in the 1940s. However, the low quality gives the track a type of "warmth" to it, and
the occasional wind chimes that are sprinkled on the track only adds to the overall tone. | | 4 |  | Swans
The Burning World
"God Damn the Sun" - Even though the lyrics deal with subjects such as depression and the loss of
passion, the way Michael Gira croons make you feel safe | | 5 |  | Radiohead
In Rainbows
"Jigsaw Falling Into Place" - The guitar one here is subtle and warming, and Thom Yorke's moaning
cradles you like a soft blanket | | 6 |  | Unwound
New Plastic Ideas
"Abstrakions" - This song makes you feel as if you are dreaming, the guitar frosts the bass in such
a way you can't help but feel you eyelids become heavy | | 7 |  | Harvey Danger
Little By Little...
"Diminishing Returns" - A song about growing up and moving on. The subtle guitar picking creates
a light to help you see, and the optimistic vocals guides you and creates a path for you to follow | | 8 |  | Aphex Twin
Selected Ambient Works 85-92
"Tha" - The drum pattern is nothing short of hypnotizing. It's like having a ping pong ball bounce
against the walls inside your head. The fuzzy, watery "vocals" feel like they're rotating around you
as you listen. | | 9 |  | At the Drive-in
In/Casino/Out
"Lopsided" - The guitars feel as if they're reminiscent to a nursery rhyme, and the vocals are like
the musical equivalent to stopping and thinking about life | | 10 |  | Liam Lynch
We're All Nighters
"We're All Nighters" - Like the title would suggest, this track perfectly fits to the feeling of being
tired. It makes you want to lie on your back and close your eyes, it takes away all of your worries. | | 11 |  | The Velvet Underground
The Velvet Underground
"After Hours" - A song about jealousy, but done so in the most innocent fashion imaginable. The
vocals just sound so light-hearted and practically empty in any negativity whatsoever. Makes you
feel like a young child. | | 12 |  | Cherubs
Icing
"Kick Me" - Alright, this is a weird one. It's an instrumental jam, only played backwards. The result
is, in an odd way, comforting. The track simply distracts you; you forget about everything else
that's going on and you just pay attention to the track. You listen to the guitars, and how the
whine. It makes you feel happy, good. | |

02.18.15 | Thanks a lot for this list - I'm having insomnia, last night I almost were in a car crash (snowfall, oncoming car starts careening, dives into a ditch and rolls over) and I'm just feeling generally feeling very sulky indeed.
I'd add Terminal by Devin Townsend and maybe some Anathema, although it probably isn't considered comforting stuff by most ppl | chinesewhispers
