[Healing] A song that eases worries and anxiety and puts your mind at ease. A comforting song.

Work, school, relationships, romance—you name it.

In modern society and in our daily lives, worries and anxieties are always close by, aren’t they?

In this article, I’ll introduce songs that can ease your anxiety and make you feel at ease when you listen.

I’ve selected a wide range—from gentle tracks that calm your heart just by listening, to songs whose lyrics will encourage you.

Just as there’s something called music therapy, music is said to have the effect of soothing anxious hearts and lifting your spirits.

I’d be happy if listening to the songs I’m about to introduce helps refresh your heart, even a little.
