Ten Great Relaxing Songs

Ten great songs to relax with

1) Windmills of Your Mind- Sting's version from The Thomas Crown Affair. It's a haunting rendition of the classic and a really difficult song to do. Love it.

2) Don't Wanna Close My Eyes- Aerosmith, featured on the Armageddon soundtrack. Steven Tyler outdoes himself.

3) Too Much Love Will Kill You- Queen. Who can compare with Freddie's genius?

4) Don't Break My Heart- UB 40. Wish this group had done more. They vanished too soon.

5) Still Got the Blues- Gary Moore. I think this Irish musician was an underrated guitarist. For me, he's up there with Clapton and Joe Satriani and all.

6) Speak Softly Love- Andy Williams from The Godfather. An awesome, gentle theme from one of the best movies of all time.

7) Nothing Compares with You- Sinead O'Connor. Don't you wish this Irish lass had continued longer, too?

8) Still Loving You- Scorpions. A must at every College do in the 90's. Remember the line: 'Pride has built a wall, so strong, I can't get through...'?

9) I Have A Dream- ABBA. Although Agnetha was the lead singer and by far the better one, I love this ABBA number which has Annie Frid in charge. It's so lovely, almost like a hymn.

10) Patience- Guns n' Roses. An unlikely choice? Well, Axl Rose proves his gravelly voice is not just for belting out 'Sweet Child O' Mine' or 'November Rain'; he can be gentle, too.

What's on your list?
