"World's most relaxing song"

[Lernica]

From Toronto's Globe and Mail newspaper, October 19, 2011, entitled "A sleeper hit?"

"A band in England has created the world's most relaxing song. 'It sounds as though sleepless nights could be a thing of the past, thanks to Marconi Union, a musical trio from Manchester,' The Telegraph says. 'They have created a song they call Weightless which has become, officially, the most relaxing song ever. That is the verdict of the scientists who say that its sustaining rhythm, the harmonic intervals, the absence of a repeated melody and the use of 'whooshing sounds and hums' all combine to make the prefect aural narcoleptic. It is so effective that drivers are being warned not to put it on the care stereo.'"

I listened to it on Youtube using the search terms "marconi union manchester weightless". It's a very nice relaxing song, about eight minutes long. Even my husband liked it.

I liked the wooshing sounds, but not the heartbeat-like beating throughout. Thanks for sharing this. I'm always interested in hearing relaxing music. Know of anymore that you like?
