Have a job interview tomorrow, have 2 in fact. I am anxious, and sort of spinning out of control in my head. I have knots in my stomach. I need to calm down.

What music should i listen to tonight to put my mind at ease and quiet the voices in my head so to speak?

    Fleet Foxes was the first thing that came to my head when I read your post. A few others......
    The National
    Nick Drake
    Tom Waits

    Good Luck tomorrow!

    Scale the Summit isn't EXACTLY relaxing, but it's instrumental, and they have some really pretty melodies.

    The second half of this song is great to chill to.
    Thanks EPOTTSIII!

    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    I was going to suggest he listen to some jazz but there doesn't seem to be too many jazz fans around here. Mr. Miles Davis is great calming music, for me anyway.

    Us jazz fans are around if you look hard enough.

    The best chill Miles album = In A Silent Way

    It's perfect on a rainy Sunday morning.

    Twelve Dreams of Dr. Sardonicus. Still one of my favorite albums!

    I'd also suggest some Stanley Jordan.

    I can't believe nobody has suggested Radiohead's In Rainbows. Tracks 3 through the end. Bliss.

    I was about to reply that the first two songs might be a little too intense, but I missed your comment about starting on track three!

    But yes, that would work.

    I always found Talk Talk's latter-day records to be very relaxing. Spirit of Eden and Laughing Stock would be perfect. Sort of the beginnings of post-rock; just great records to immerse yourself in.
