I'm looking for songs similar to Prince's Purple Rain and Pink Floyd's Shine on you Crazy Diamond.

Any suggestions?

Death cab for cutie 

Transatlanticsm or something like that 

 

[Quint]

"Cure for Pain" - Morphine

 

[Politician Spock]

In the Air Tonight - Phil Collins. 

 

[Binky The Doormat]

I could put the Portlandia theme song on a loop instead of a white noise machine.  

Instantly relaxes me.

Sticking with Pink Floyd, Comfortably Numb always works for me.

I know not what the OP is looking for and just a snippet not a full song... but because I've been playing Fallout 4 recently I have to add... the violin solo from Scheherazade. So beautiful I nearly have to stop playing the game for a moment when it comes on over the Pip Boy radio.

But then Super Mutants don't wait for violins... 

 

[Da Guru]

Main Street-Bob Seger

Ship of Fools-Bob Seger

 

[trogg78]

Some songs that I find relaxing

Depeche Mode-Precious

Dirty Heads- Stand tall

Dirty Heads- Lay me down

Red Hot Chili Peppers- Snow (this song just makes me want to sip a Margarita).  

 

[Don Quixote]

It is not uncommon for me to put on The Kinks' "Village Green Preservation Society" after a stressful day at work.  The album itself has a lot of songs with a similar aesthetic (Big Sky, Sitting by the Riverside), so I typically start with the title track and go from there.  

 

[psychobillies]

Laguna Sunrise

 

[Quint]

"Planet Caravan" - Black Sabbath

 

[Galileo]

Way too many to list, but here's a few that come to mind

Grateful Dead - Ripple, Box of Rain, Black Muddy River, Brokedown Palace

Pink Floyd - Wish You Were Here, On the Turning Away

Bob Segar - Turn the Page

Beatles - Yesterday, Hey Jude, Let it Be

Bob Dylan - When I Paint My Masterpiece, I Shall Be Released, Percy's Song, Positively 4th Street

Cat Stevens - Moonshadow, Where do the Children Play?

Neil Young - After the Gold Rush

Harry Chapin - Taxi

Hey Jude is relaxed until the end.  Not sure l could fall asleep to that one.

I would add that any song by the band Bread is sure to not only make you feel relaxed, but will also emasculate you..

 

[Zegras11]

Elton John - Mona Lisas and Mad Hatters, Your Song, and Levon are my go to trio after a rough day at work.

Fade Into You - Mazzy Star

 

[brun]

Dire Straits, the whole Brothers in Arms album.

"If You Have Ghosts" - acoustic version

 

[Leroy Hoard]

The subgenre of ambient dub is like sonic Xanax to me.

[Brony]

Phosphorescent - Song for Zula

 

[wikkidpissah]

And it may be mostly instrumental but, when i wanna chill but still be hearing rock music, Mogwai is where i go

 

[shuke]

Phish mix

 

[mbrasi]

Love a lot of the jams on this list...here’s a few other deep cuts

found this gem/band on Pandora with my Pink Floyd station.

Pinback Loro

This was my go to instrumental jam in my younger days after a long night out...late 90s vintage.

Two Steps From Hell - Star Sky (Original Version)

Two Steps From Hell - Star Sky (Instrumental Version)

This is literally the greatest, most amazing, most beautiful and most soulful music I've ever heard. It gives me everything! From goosebumps, to motivation, inspiration and relaxation / calmness. I've never heard a music as amazing as the above!

 

[Nathan R. Jessep]

Summer Breeze 

 

[ClownCausedChaos2]

Songs 4 , 5, and 6 when I saw him at Caesars palace on the 20th.

[lakerstan]

This is my wheel house...

On the techno side, look for Naked Music

One artist that partnered with them in the 90's was Aya

Going back to the 60's - my sleep music is some Brazilian Bossa Nova Jazz Antonio Carlos Jobim Wave album

Songs - I get a lot of mileage from Southern California Latin Soul such as:

Suavecito by Malo

Together by Tierra

Still a young man by Tower of Power

Check out the songs listed under Art Laboe's "Dedicated to you" series

You can't go wrong with some Philly soul either:  Al Green, Billy Stewart, Delfonics, or Spinners

Other random chill songs:

Todd Rundgren - Hello, It's me

10cc - I'm not in love

Billy Paul - Me and Mrs. Jones

Temptations - Night and Day

Jefferson Starship - Runaway and Miracles

And maybe the saddest song ever written - This Woman's Work by Kate Bush

Two Steps From Hell - Star Sky (Original Version)

This is literally the greatest, most amazing, most beautiful and most soulful music I've ever heard. It gives me everything! From goosebumps, to motivation, inspiration and relaxation / calmness. I've never heard a music as amazing as the above!

Sounds like a mix between Enya and Nightwish
