Don't laugh, but I used to listen to Barry Manilow every single day, especially during times of great anxiety. Listening to his voice was very calming to me and many of the songs I could relate to. Other than that, I like listening to music from the sixties and seventies. It takes me back to a place when I had less worries and stress.

I like Barry Manilow

classical music

the prettiest, most peaceful music to me is harp music. Lakota Indian flute music is very good too. some classical is very relaxing to me: Fur Elise and Claire de Lune especially. and, i like Scott Joplin's Solace.

Often, i sense that I need to cry but don't realize it. So, to induce the tears to come forward, the best music for me to put on is Barry Manilow and Joan Baez, and especially Stevie Nicks singing Landslide.

I also like classical...especially Mozart

Andrea Bocelli

Enya

i listen to anything but rap....but really as long as i have music on im ok.

I find that anything beautiful and calm lifts me up. I love old hymns for their calming and reassuring message. Especially since I love to sing along. Does anyone else find that music is one of the main connections you have to your emotions? I have a "jukebox" in my head and can pull out songs or lyrics to go along with just about anything that is said or felt.

Of course! That's why I almost got a degree as a music therapist! Cat Stevens and The Cranberries and fun punk music like The Clash and The Ramones really lifts me up! And Mika! Mika is THE funnest music ever! At least since Cyndi Lauper! ;)

Piano classicals like Clair de Lune, etc. I also like New Age sounds by Enya and Yanni.

I love piano classical, Enya and yanni too. I just recently found what they call reiki music and it is amazing stuff. People use it to meditate to and now I can see why. It is the most soothing stuff I have ever heard. I downloaded a bunch of reiki music from limewire, but Youtube also has it to listen to.

Beautiful

Ljtinkerbell...YES music IS the main connection to your emotions. There are certain songs that no matter how many times I hear them I cry or laugh or remember a specific story. I would be LOST without my music!

Female blues singers tend to make me feel calm - Dinah Washington, Nina Simone, and some of Etta James especially. I also have been discovering the world of classical music. I also like ambient electronica for calming.

Enya is one of my favorites

I like listening to Josh Groban, Sara McClaughlin and some other light sounds. Sometimes, instrumental piano or flute music is better for me if I am feeling very sad as certain Lyrics in songs can bring out feelings of deep sadness if I listen at the wrong time. Sometimes I need to cry and just feel but other times, I need to keep myself together through music that evens me out.

I agree that certain lyrics can provoke unwanted feelings...so I often like to listen to instrumental music. Flute music is lovely. I also like French or Italian songs because I don't understand the words.

I find I have my moods.Music takes me on a ride through its words and tune and bear.Beach waves this week.
