[2026] Songs that calm the mind. Music that soothes the soul.

Someone Like YouAdele

Adele – Someone Like You (Official Music Video)

When you want to relax, don’t you find yourself preferring a solid, resonant voice over a piercing one? The voice of the British singer-songwriter Adele has a rich, low resonance—like a cello or double bass—that makes it very soothing to listen to.

Among her songs, a particular recommendation is “Someone Like You.” It tells the story of a heartbroken woman who hears that her ex is getting married and says, “I’ll find someone like you.” It’s a track carried solely by piano and Adele’s voice.

Fix YouColdplay

Coldplay – Fix You (Official Video)

When you want to calm your mind, UK rock that conveys a sense of beauty is perfect.

Fix You, included on the rock band Coldplay’s 2005 album X&Y, is a song with synths that resonate like a hymn.

You can also feel performances that evoke alternative rock, with healing and rock blending beautifully.

The warm lyrics that stay close to your anxiety and sadness are also noteworthy.

If you want to be soothed by grand, expansive sound, be sure to give it a listen.
