I don't know about you ladies, but sometimes on my day off, I just want to lay on my couch with a book and some really great relaxing music. Not music that puts me to sleep, but music that relaxes me and helps me wind down after a crazy week. The following are the 7 best songs for a relaxing afternoon. ## 1. Shut Me out: Aidan Hawken ![Shut Me out: Aidan Hawken](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/10/7-best-songs-for-relaxing/shut-me-out-aidan-hawken_7-best-songs-for-relaxing_500x500.jpg) Buy For $0.99 at [amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) This song has such a sweet and mellow tone. It's beautiful. It really makes you happy when you hear it. Even though the lyrics aren't exactly the happiest, the song isn't depressing at all. ## 2. Sweet Pea: Amos Lee _ Buy For $0.99 at amazon.com_ This song has the same feel as the first song. It's very a very sweet little love song. But it's not in your face or too upbeat. It's what every love song should be, mellow with no dramatics and relaxing. ## 3. Paper Aeroplane: Angus & Julia Stone ![Paper Aeroplane: Angus & Julia Stone](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/10/7-best-songs-for-relaxing/paper-aeroplane-angus-julia-stone_7-best-songs-for-relaxing_500x500.jpg) Buy For $0.99 at [amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) This song doesn't have the happiest lyrics. But, it's not too slow or sad. The lead singer has a great voice that keeps your attention and all in all it's very soothing. ## 4. Part One: Band of Horses ![Part One: Band of Horses](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/10/7-best-songs-for-relaxing/part-one-band-of-horses_7-best-songs-for-relaxing_500x500.jpg) Buy For $0.99 at [amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) This song is more slow paced and the lead singers voice has a way of lulling you. But not to sleep. It keeps you in this fog of calm that's actually very nice after a very busy and stressful week or day. ## 5. True Affection: the Blow ![True Affection: the Blow](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/10/7-best-songs-for-relaxing/true-affection-the-blow_7-best-songs-for-relaxing_500x499.jpg) Buy For $0.99 at [amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) This girl's voice is absolutely enthralling. She pulls you into another world where you feel like you're slipping into a warm bath. It's definitely a song I listen to unwind. ## 6. A Lack of Color: Death Cab for Cutie ![A Lack of Color: Death Cab for Cutie](https://resize.allw.mn/1028x0/filters:format(webp)/filters:quality(70)/content/www/2010/10/7-best-songs-for-relaxing/a-lack-of-color-death-cab-for-cutie_7-best-songs-for-relaxing_500x500.jpg) Buy For $0.99 at [amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) Ben Gibbard truly has a gift. His voice is like a long massage and his lyrics really work their way into your head. He has a way of conveying human emotion that isn't too overwhelming. And, to top it all off, the music is really soothing. ## 7. Never Think: Rob Pattinson _ Buy For $0.99 at [amazon.com](http://www.amazon.com?ref=allwomenstalk.com) Once again, I am caught by surprise. I thought the Twilight heartthrob was just another teenage girl fantasy and I didn't really find anything about him too great. But, when he opens his mouth to sing, you get a little blown away. It's a very nice surprise and I recommend this song for a day lounging in the sunlight on your sofa. Well ladies, this is my relaxing playlist. What do you listen to to relax?
