Almost forgot - Their Hearts Were Full Of Spring. If you're gonna put Our Prayer on there you gotta put THWFOS on there. I'm putting that right at the beginning.

'Diamond Head' was a very good choice.

Can I nominate 'Sail Plane Song'?

Yes I can.

I have a playlist on my ipod with various BB songs AND excerpts of songs that together make for a very soothing, almost dreamlike listen, - mostly from the late 60s and onwards. An example of an excerpt is the lovely harmonies at the very end of Don't Go Near the Water which I've basically just featured as a standalone short snippet in the playlist. I don't really care for the song but absolutely love that tiny bit.  Smiley

Steamboat is incredibly soothing. Feels like taking a cruise.

"Don't Go Near the Water" is a great example of what a big difference Brian made on Surf's Up behind the scenes. He played all the piano parts, came up with the outro, and likely some of the other harmonies, too (since it sounds like Brian is on some of 'em, and it's hard to imagine he wouldn't at least touch the parts up a bit). Without those contributions, the song would've felt flat and incomplete.

Also, "Take A Load Off Your Feet" is a great song to play after a long week. Smoking a J and staring at your feet, grinning a Cheshire grin.

Whistle In.  A little toe tapper but definitely relaxing and a mood lifter.

Only Brian Wilson could make a song featuring an erupting volcano calm.  Smiley

Are we counting solo? If so I nominate 'Mexico' from Pacific Ocean Blue Legacy Edition.

All of smiley Smile. I am learning from this thread that most beach boy music is amazingly calming. I feel calm test reading the titles.

The slow parts of Can't Wait Too Long are about as calming as it gets.

Oh crap, I only just listened to Busy Doin' Nothing. That song is amazingly calming.
Come to think of it, virtually all of Friends is soothing stuff (with the obvious exception of the last track). Everyone seems to be bringing up Be Still... that one's nice, but there's not much to it. Busy Doin' Nothing is a little more complex musically and it sounds heavenly.

I think Cool Cool Water is the calmest song I've ever heard.  Love the bass line.
