It is no surprise that finals and last minute projects and tests are underway, and let's be honest, we could all use some time to destress. I've compiled a list of songs that are guaranteed to help you unwind and relax— so take a hot shower, make yourself a cup of tea, cuddle up in a blanket and press play on this playlist.
1. "Green to Grey," "Love Fell Down," "Lonesome" by Gavin Creel
Gavin Creel, known mainly for his Broadway stardom, has also released his fair share of non-musical-theatre music and these three songs are the perfect songs to shake the stress off.
2. "Drops of Jupiter" by Train
This classic song is one to automatically put your mind at ease.
3. "Gravity," "Daughters," "Stop This Train," "Why Georgia" (basically every song) by John Mayer
No explanation needed for this one.
4. "Gravity" by Sara Bareilles
Sara Bareilles is a queen and "Gravity" can do absolutely no wrong.
5. "Bubble Toes" by Jack Johnson
Jack Johnson's beachy vibe makes for the best cool down song.
6. "Look After You" by The Fray
Also, a good song if you need a good cry.
7. "Forever Like That," "Life Keeps Moving On," "Sailboat" (once again basically every song) by Ben Rector
Ben Rector is the cure to every bad/stressful moment ever; press play and you'll see.
8. "Paper Hearts" by Tori Kelly
Tori Kelly is incredible and this song makes my (and hopefully your) heart happy.
9. "The Scientist" by Coldplay
This song works wonders for de-stressing.
10. "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz
There is no denying that this song can't put a smile on your face.
11. "Lay Me Down" by Sam Smith ft. John Legend
This is definitely heaven in a song.
12. "Bubbly" by Colbie Caillat
This song is so underrated and the perfect ending to this playlist.
And for your listening pleasure, I've created a Spotify playlist with all of these songs, happy de-stressing!
