One of the ways I relax is by listening to music. So, here’s a playlist of my favorite feel good songs. All are pretty mellow, nothing too upbeat, and just overall a great mix of songs.

This is a pretty short list. Maybe I’ll make an extended version later?

Track list below:

1. Diamonds – Passenger feat. Simon R. Berckleman

This song inspired the playlist. It’s one of my favorite songs ever. The trumpet solo near the end is musical perfect, and the story this song tells makes me so happy.

2. Keep Your Head Up – Ben Howard

The verses can be a little depressing, but the chorus makes this song worth it. It’s pretty mellow and catchy.

3. On the Bright Side – Nevershoutnever

Good lord this song is wonderful. Simple, yet powerful. Like Diamonds, it tells a great story. I cried the first time I heard this in seventh grade. It’s just such a beautiful song.

4. Loveless – Said the Whale

This song will never be irrelevant. It’s so wonderful, and hopefully someday I’ll have a romance that this song can describe.

5. Hospital Flowers – Owl City

Peaceful. The video is strange, so just sit back and listen to the lyrics for this one, friends.

6. The Real World – Owl City

Owl City is truly magical. The lyrics are whimsical and the songs are relaxing and heartwarming. Just…. yes.

7. Too Marvelous for Words – Diana Krall

Never forget that you are too marvelous for words. <3

8. In a Mellow Tone – Ella Fitzgerald

I love jazz, and Ella is the goddess of jazz.

9. Blue Skies – Frank Sinatra

Another jazz standard. If you’re not big on jazz, I hope you are now.

10. The Man Who Chose to Smile – Paul Collier

I’m a sucker for good instrumentals, what can I say?

11. Every Heart - Piano Squall

Phenomonal piano playing. And of course I had to work something anime in. But good lord do I love this piano-only cover.
