It’s literally music dedicated to sleep.

Homeayaka
“Home” is a ballad by singer-songwriter Ayaka, featuring gentle, comforting piano.
Fast, flowing piano phrases can be great, but the key to this song is its slow, simple lines.
That simplicity lets Ayaka’s clear, translucent voice stand out, drawing you in.
She’s also known for her beautiful falsetto in signature songs like “Mikazuki,” and it’s used effectively here as well.
Its soft timbre pairs exquisitely with the quiet piano.
Also noteworthy is how the arrangement gradually adds instruments like strings, acoustic guitar, and bass as the song progresses.
Someone Like YouAdele
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.

Why not try listening to it as work music, during a short break at home, or as a companion before bed?
