For those who generally have as much trouble falling asleep as I do, this is the perfect mix to listen to. All the songs are calm, soothing, mellow and tend to lull you to sleep. The soft, soothing voices and music work well to put you in the perfect sleepy mood.. lets just hope you don't fall asleep until the end, because thats the best part!
tracklist
| 1 | Tom Waits : Alice |
|
A great song to start the sleepy mood off with. Slow with some mellow saxophone and piano, and Tom Waits's low, raspy voice to lull you into a sleepy mood.

| 3 | Optiganally Yours : Sleepytown Train |
|
Partial inspiration for this CD this pseudo-title track is a great song. The constant fuzziness of this track is somewhat lulling, and the soft, low voice is quite calming, as well as the slow, mellow track.

| 5 | Johnny Cash : Bridge Over Troubled Water |

I chose the Cash version of this song because of his deep, soothing voice and the calming violins that come in later in the song with the female vocals.

| 6 | The One AM Radio : Drowsy Haze |
|
Almost all of The One AM Radio's songs are calming to me. Hrishikesh Hirway's double-tracked voice with the slow, long violin (I think thats what it is) is sure to lull anybody.

| 8 | The Shins : The Past and Pending |
|
I'm sure I'll get shit for this from all you pretentious assholes who are too cool for The Shins.. for I was too at one time. Then I gave them a chance and fell in love. This album-ending track is quiet and calm, it soothes the soul.

| 9 | Simon & Garfunkel : The Only Living Boy in New York |
|
I thought I'd throw some actual Simon and Garfunkel on here as well, this song is one of my favorites of theirs and this is not likely to be the last mix of mine that contains it. The guitar on this song is really soothing to me.

| 10 | The Black Heart Procession : Your Church Is Red |

One of my favorite Black Heart Procession songs, off probably my favorite album of theirs. This song is the second to last on its side of the album, and I have spent many nights falling asleep to it.

| 11 | Deerhoof : Dream Wanderer's Tune |
|
Usually the high-pitched shrieking vocals of the Deerhoof frontwoman are not even close to relaxing, but this song just makes her sound oh-so-great. Harmonizing well with the music, her voice is sure to relax.

| 12 | Sigur Rós : Starálfur |
|
I think the track on this song does FAR more than the vocals to soothe, and the vocals do a hell of a lot.. which means the music is just amazing... like pretty much everything Sigur Rós does.

| 14 | Low & Dirty Three : I Hear Goodnight |
|
The perfect song to end a sleepytime mix with.. the song that sings you to sleep and tells you goodnight. The collaboration of Low and Dirty Three for this song turns out so perfectly. The soothing female vocals and soft, mellow clean electric guitar track sing me to sleep every time. I honestly couldn't think of a better song to fall asleep to.
