The power of music is often underestimated in the realm of mental health. Over the past several years, I have come to appreciate the ability of music to motivate me, soothe me, empower me, and ground me. Still unsure about the power of music? Think of the emotional attachment to the song that played during your first dance at your wedding, recall the last time you were chilled by someone singing the national anthem, and remember the exhilaration you felt last time you turned up your car radio's volume when your favorite song started playing. Music is powerful.
I asked the one who knows more about music than anyone else in my life to make a playlist of his favorite songs for relaxation and grounding. Thus, courtesy of Jamie Beamguard, I give you a "Chill Out" playlist. 1. Make It Rain (Ed Sheeran) 2. (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay (Otis Redding) 3. Slow it Down (The Lumineers) 4. All Will Be Well (The Gabe Dixon Band) 5. Cope (Manchester Orchestra, off the album "Hope," not "Cope") 6. Piano Man (Billy Joel) 7. Take Me Home Country Roads (John Denver) 8. Can't You See (Marshall Tucker Band) 9. Like a Rolling Stone (Bob Dylan) 10. Flow (Cage the Elephant)
