And the time has come...my first time writing exams on University. That is a psycho scare of its finest. I can barely sleep...WHAT IS SLEEP?!
Yup, even when taking a study break I can`t seem to relax. Good thing I know exactly which songs to listen to and my heart rate goes down and a smile appears on my lips...YAY!
So for all of you, who have the same problem, I would like to share my insights with you, in what music to listen, to give you at least some minutes of piece. But it is important, that you use headphones. It is important to shut out all the other noises in your surroundings, that could make you nervous. But don't do that when you are a pedestrian, trying to cross a street. I don't want anyone to get hurt ;).
1. Deep House is relaxations second name. I am serious: No matter what Deep House you listen, it calms you down instantly. Perfect example?
Bedouin Soundclash - Brutal Hearts (Lexer Remix) (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NlTJb49OkhA): Even though the lyrics are a bit sad, the feeling when they sing "use me" is a goosebumps moment.The long intro prepares you perfectly for the song, bringing you heart rate down and putting you in a mood, ready to take in every sound coming out of you headphones.
2. Chose your personal EPIC song. Each person should have their own personal epic songs. Even when it is something embarrassing...don't give a shit and listen to them. Me for one...I admit one of my epic songs is "We Are Golden" by Mika. I do the same he does in his Video, when I listen to that song. No matter what song it is....listen to it as loud as your ears will take it and goof around!
3. Acoustic Guitars. Acoustic guitars have the most soothing effect on me. And a soothing voice to accompany the guitar.
Foy Vance - Homebird (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXo0vjnhOcM): This chorus...oh this chorus makes my heart melt!
4.Get some new music! Download an album you have wanted for a while and let it run up and down. The hype I get when listening to new music I downloaded is amazing! Like the feeling after the first kiss with the person you love. Magic, pure magic. My newest album which is running up and down on my headphones right now? "The Glorious Dead" by The Heavy!
Hope I could help!
Stay crazy and love your life!
