That Peace and Quiet



Ever been so flustered that your emotions run amok it consumes and controls your every thought and behavior. Blood boiling, temper rising, words spilling, it's an extremely exhausting experience. And after having waken from a much needed deep slumber, you're emotions are so polar opposite from a couple hours ago you seek something to match and tickle that peace and calm you're seeking. Well, music provides that remedy, and here are a couple songs that will set you at ease.

NOUVEAUNOISE - GONI
Don't know anything about this artist, however the use of the high-string instrument amidst the faint vocals in the background give a somewhat Nujabes feel to it. Don't take that statement too far though.

AEROPLANE VS. FRIENDLY FIRES VS. FLIGHT FACILITIES - I CRAVE PARIS
Mixed with the song "Crave You" by Flight Facilities with Friendly Fire's "Paris (Aeroplane Remix)" make for an absolutely amazing song. The beat is Aeroplane's, and it has that nu-disco feel that I love so much. It's a hate em or love em with Aeroplane usually, but give this one a try.

STARS - DEADHEARTS (LIGHTSOVERLA REMIX)
Stars, one of my favorite indie bands because of their great ability to produce a melancholic chill to their songs, has one of their songs remixed beautifully by LightsoverLA.

TAKEN BY TREES - MY BOYS
Remember that amazing indie band called Animal Collective which produced one of the hits of 2009, "My Girl", well heres another rendition by Taken By Trees which do a great cover of it.

LISSIE - PURSUIT OF HAPPINES (COVER)
Another great chill cover.
