I could potentially make a very long list of great chillout songs but these are my absolute favourites:

Was genuinely expecting something Madge in Viv's post...

Anyways:

There's also a particular mix of Insomnia by Faithless that's great, but I can't remember which one.

Loving Groove Armada - at the river. Used to be one Mills would quite often pick up in the past for the Wonder Years.

Would really prefer just the choon though. First time I have ever seen the video, and have to say... the guy in white shorts walking across the beach is not appealing in any way, shape or form. Kind of how I picture Doovde *instantly barfs*

Was waiting on some random (Doovde) making a smart remark about my video for the jazz just having a cup in a window all the way through the video. **

Nice thread. There are some absolute beauties up there. Good taste people of UM. Groove Armada and Zero Seven are two of my most favourite things ever. Such good songs. Might pop up a few for now. Warning: Slightly eclectic taste. May be back too.

This is pretty.

The following is lovely, and was recommended to me by @quantick on Twitter when I wanted to listen to The Smiths. He doesn't like them very much at all, so every time I threaten to listen to them he has to 'save me' with a new track or two.

This is cosy snuggly song. Always chills me out, even though the lyrics aren't so happy.

What a silly comment, I don't even OWN any white shorts... black or blue/green maybe but not white... and I don't often wear those except when swimming :P

http://youtu.be/Fb4jguPLceQ - from 1969 from the great Stevie Wonder - The song was originally written about Wonder's girlfriend while he was at the Michigan School for the Blind.

Someone famous apparently recently asked Stevie if she looked ok in her dress - he is... er... blind !!

And... another one (to celebrate birth of Wonder's child) - 1976

Here is another one... very old fashioned - by Nina Simone (did you know she once shot someone for breaking her concentration apparently?) :hahaha: - great lady who played a big part in the Civil Rights Movement...

No that was Samuel L Jackson...

Anyways, Children by Robert Miles brings to mind this from around the same time

it's reasons like this why i realise trance is a far better type f music than dubstep can ever hope to be.

http://youtu.be/JZMErm3-8Aw - great, great lady - Melody Gardot. She was bascially knocked off her bike, and her brain was affected, so she had to learn simple things again - such as brushing her teeth, etc. To this day, she has to wear dark glasses because of hypersensitivity to light.

Thanks to MUSIC, the neuropathways in her brain were able to reconnect, she was able to write her own music, and is now well known all over the jazz World.

Song is taken from her forthcoming album, due out at the end of the month.

    • Scott opened Thursday by immediately clocking the pace of the inbox, saying it was “one of those mornings where you can tell people have woken up ready to talk.” Ellie Brennan and Tina Daheley were both in studio, with Scott checking in on them and joking that “we haven’t even warmed up yet and you’re all already in full voice.” The early links were light, with Scott narrating what was coming up and reminding listeners they were heading into “a proper Thursday show.” There were quick resets, music breathing space and familiar back-announcing, with Scott repeatedly acknowledging how fast messages were landing and half-laughing that “this is already a lot before seven.” Ellie noted that voice notes were stacking up unusually early, while Tina commented that people seemed keen to respond to each other as much as the programme. Motherhood chat, but not a phone-in The main theme emerged around motherhood and social media expectations, introduced by Scott reading a listener message about feeling like she was “constantly failing compared to what I see online.” Scott paused on it, saying “this comes up a lot, doesn’t it,” but was careful to keep the show moving rather than letting it settle into a single-issue phone-in. Ellie talked about how curated feeds distort reality, while Tina pointed out that “nobody posts the day where everything went wrong.” Scott reframed the discussion several times, reminding listeners that “you’re hearing highlights, not real life,” before deliberately breaking the run with music and a reset, saying they’d “come back to this — but not all at once.” Voice notes, relief and shared laughs As voice notes came in, the tone varied. Some were reflective, others lighter, with Scott reacting in the moment rather than letting each one sit heavily. When one mum admitted she didn’t enjoy every moment, Scott replied simply, “you’re allowed to feel like that,” before immediately moving on to the next message to stop it lingering. Ellie noted quietly that a lot of messages ended with apologies — “sorry if this sounds awful” — which Scott picked up on, saying, “you all keep apologising — you don’t need to.” He then undercut the intensity by joking that “this has turned into group therapy before 7am,” before laughing and playing a record. Listeners responded to each other as much as the show, which Scott acknowledged on air, saying it felt like “people talking to people rather than just talking to us,” while still steering the programme forward. Pause for Thought and breathing space Pause for Thought slotted neatly into the running order, continuing the theme without deepening it. The speaker focused on compassion, comparison and letting go of unrealistic expectations. Scott thanked them afterwards, saying it “fits with what people have been saying this morning,” and deliberately left a short pause before moving on. Ellie observed that the slot felt like “a natural breather” in the show, which Scott agreed with, before resetting the mood with music and lighter links. The handover Scott handed over to Vernon Kay by briefly outlining what the morning had been about. Vernon picked up on the listener response, saying it sounded like “one of those shows where people really got involved.” Scott agreed, replying that “they really did today,” and mentioned the volume of messages still waiting.
