Favorite band to fall asleep to

[Divinehand]

I enjoy Sigur Ros, explosions in the sky, and radiohead for naps.

[tcg47]

I fall asleep listening to American Football a lot.

It's all just so chill, it's nice to relax with it.

[Circa1628]

I usually make a sleep playlist, so the songs are always changing up. Some popular songs for me

The Cure- Underneath The Stars
Matchbox 20- Hang
Matchbox 20- Rest Stop
Matchbox 20- Bed Of Lies
Counting Crows- Colorblind
Alkaline Trio- Blue In The Face
The Smiths- Asleep
Damien Rice- Amie
Four Letter Lie- Firecracker
Four Letter Lie- Charlatan
The Beatles- Yesterday
Led Zeppelin- Going To California
Matchbook Romance- Tiger Lily
Saves the Day- Anything from the bug sessions
Staind- Epiphany

[Dre Okorley]

The best band to fall asleep to is Paramore. Hands down.

[thespearkid]

The best band to fall asleep to is Paramore. Hands down.
Seriously?

I normally like falling asleep to Bon Iver.

[Dre Okorley]

Very serious. This is serious business, man.

[Rodeo]

http://morenismoyanis.files.wordpress.com/2007/05/pink_moon.jpg

[TheOtherAndrew]

Yo La Tengo

[themadsilentist]

Slower Anberlin stuff (and by the same token Anchor & Braille).
Gomez
The Format
Brave Citizens
Ben Folds
Acceptance

[bradnewman]

The best for me would be Sleeping at Last

others include:
radiohead
iron and wine
portugal the man

[GoodSausage]

Radiohead, Bon Iver, Damien Rice on normal days, If i'm feeling wierd though just anything, last night was Mars Volta

[erinx05]

dave mathews band and death cab for cutie

[Dre Okorley]

Thrice and Bayside are more good ones. Ya know...all those softy bands with all those softy songs.

[Rodeo]

Also, Dredg Elliott Smith, Pinback and Belle & Sebastian.

[Dre Okorley]

I almost said Elliott Smith. Good one!

[DilesMavis]

Enya always seems to works well for me. Nick Drake, Gary Jules, Neil on Impression, Chapterhouse, Pink Floyd, William Fitzsimmons, etcetc.

[chipdip18]

Iron & Wine's Such Great Heights

[Dre Okorley]

Diles Mavis just reminded me of another good one: Miles Davis, fo sho...

[DilesMavis]

Haha! Oh yeah! Definitely. Everything off of Kind of Blue is pretty great to fall asleep to. All Blues. <333

[HoldThatSound]

the postal service, copeland

[ctexasranger]

genghis tron

[tcg47]

Calexico too.

[fly_guy]

Coconut Records and Armor For Sleep. weird.

[c_rob2700]

I always shut my iPod off right before I go, I find it impossible to fall asleep to music :shrug:

But my favorite song to get sleepy too is "Jack's Mannequin/Hammers & Strings"

[Tambourine]

I like Yes and Simon & Garfunkel. It can be pretty random for me though, I've fallen asleep to both Freezepop and Pantera before.

[MADSTA]

I can fall asleep to anything.

[Ghostpsalm]

Damien Rice, Bon Iver, Iron and Wine, Adam Pasion

good stuff man

[Nourez]

The slower Jack's Mannequin songs (ie Hammers and Strings, Caves, Annie Use Your Telescope)

[Kid B]

http://cdmallimage.bugs.co.kr/shop/upload/mall/e2827_l.jpg

[boysandbulletsx]

I've fallen asleep to Northstar, Manchester Orchestra, mewithoutYou, and Au Revoir Simone. But definitely Iron and Wine and instrumental stuff like Tera Melos. I only fall asleep to music if I'm really upset, though.

[Br&New4Life]

The postal Service is about all i can fall asleep to...

[Brokenhill]

Pink Floyd of course.

Us and Them is probably the most relaxing song i've heard...even though it's not soft all the way through.

[wroteurname]

Lately MGMT, and Okkervil River-Black Sheep Boy.

[Naenia]

I can fall asleep to anything too. Sometimes, believe it or not, I like to sleep to Slipknot or Decades Of Despair/death metal that doesn't shriek too much.

Today though I feel asleep to a mix of Archie Star, Queen City Station & Lorién.

[c_rob2700]

How people can listen to Slipknot is beyond me

[Jumpoff]

http://www.phonono.com/pix/sigur-ros-svigar-lg.jpg

[jtsnazzy]

Anything shoegaze or post-rock.

Kyte and caspian being at the forefront.

[IWasaCamera]

http://morenismoyanis.files.wordpress.com/2007/05/pink_moon.jpg
Yep.

[Regards]

I can't really fall asleep to music :shrug:

[lenard27]

I like Something Corporate, the Postal Service, and Russian Circles

[BJW7191]

I fall asleep listening to American Football a lot.

It's all just so chill, it's nice to relax with it.


you are my fave person ever



exagerating but i came in to say this and it was the second post

great choice

whats youre fave song to sleep to?

[BJW7191]

The best band to fall asleep to is Paramore. Hands down.


i always fall asleep with hayley ;)

[Jumpoff]

I forgot to mention, I tend to listen to a lot of faster music before I go to sleep. Kinda makes me more tired, though can't actually sleep while listening.. generally it's all about Nazi Punks Fuck Off by Dead Kennedys, The State Lottery by Propagandhi, Fuck Shit Up by Wingnut Dishwasher's Union, Tigersuit by Raein, and Reinventing Axl Rose by Against Me.

[dumhed01]

One Man Army.

Jack's voice sooth's me. haha.

[halifaxonfire]

Daft Punk and Copeland are pretty common on my sleep playlists. I'll Catch You by The Get Up Kids and Good Night by The Beatles are also staples.

[domotime2]

dragonforce.........KICK ASS DREAMS!!

[PunksNotDead!]

Pink Floyd! Its so soothing. I can fall asleep to anything though

[Billy Black]

secondhand serenade sings me right to sleep.
not embarrassed.
:sleep:

[bombsquadjunky]

Usually The Circa Survive albums, and also The Flaming Lip's Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots

[ambiguous.dude]

Sigur Ros most of the time and sometimes some Pink Floyd, I put the 2 Shine On You Crazy Diamond on repeat.

[fightoffyrdmns]

This thread reminds me of one time I fell asleep to The Devil and God and woke up freaking out to Jesse screaming "Where you've been" in Luca.

I agree with Radiohead, Iron & Wine, Bon Iver, etc. Lydia's Illuminate can also put me to sleep occasionally. On the other hand, I enjoy waking up to City and Colour.

[Kneeka]

Cold War Kids, Fleet Foxes, City and Colour, Dear and the Headlights, and Ben Folds. Mostly, Straylight Run they have some great melodies.

[Dre Okorley]

So...one could possibly say that "good songs to fall asleep to" are also good songs to have sex to, yeah? No? :-)

[Samc1803]

Well, that depends on the sex, I guess. If you're into the slow stuff, then I guess the same type of music could be applied.

Annuals, As Tall As Lions, Coldplay, Copeland, Death Cab (depending on the song), Lydia, Owl City, Swimming With Dolphins, The Reign of Kindo, and Shearwater are all pretty relaxing, I'd say.

[zaxophone]

I enjoy Sigur Ros, explosions in the sky, and radiohead for naps.

Although i dont usually fall asleep to music, i totally agree it would be Sigur Ros or Lydia or someone similar.

[TotalCollapse]

Matchbook Romance, Lydia, and Underoath

[Brokenhill]

Pink Floyd! Its so soothing. I can fall asleep to anything though

;-)

[sidekicksuicide]

Denison Witmer
Iron & Wine
Auburn Lull

[Dre Okorley]

All the less heavy Saves the Day songs can be very relaxing.

i woke up in a cold sweat one night to jesse screaming "we all got wood and nails..." in jesus christ


it sent shivers down my spine in a good way

[mick_jagger]

Norah Jones. though she technically counts as an artist and not a band. still good though. also, i once fell asleep listening to the kinison and woke up listening to circa survive. the weird part is the headphones weren't even in. i guess it's that early morning sensitivity of the ears.

[Poe-tryGirl]

Coconut Records and Armor For Sleep. weird.
this

[mick_jagger]

i actually did this once. i think there was nothing interesting on tv so i started to listen to my ipod and fell asleep to "freakish".

[Molly0218]

Something Corporate

[neal86]

sigur ros and some mogwa and envy

[surrahsuarez]

Cute is What We Aim For. O_o

[live_prettty]

solo andata- fyris swan
efterklang- trapped
Olafur Arnalds- Variations of Static EP
Phosphorescent- Pride
Nico- Camera Obscura

[wewascontenders]

don't really have a favorite, i just fall asleep to whatever is on. i took a nap in personal finance today listening to marathon.

[ayohajjah!]

definitely nevershoutnever! and the scene aesthetic and the format

[3eb23]

in class today my teacher played the first verse and chorus from each song on the Allison Krauss/Robert Plant cd...

today i discovered a new album to fall asleep to.

[HoldThatSound]

Also, I-Doser!


hahaha

[Dre Okorley]

i actually did this once. i think there was nothing interesting on tv so i started to listen to my ipod and fell asleep to "freakish".

For sure..."Don't Know Why", "Hold"(I'm Sorry I'm Leaving album) are also good ones.
But pretty much all songs off of Stay What You Are will get you sleeping pretty cozy.

[Circa1628]

plus all the Bug Sessions, "Stay", "She", "Three Miles Down"

[Dre Okorley]

Hmm, I need to check that out. I don't have that one :-(

[Circa1628]

Hmm, I need to check that out. I don't have that one :-(
get all the bug sessions one through three. The first one is old songs done acoustic. The second and third are live acoustic tracks. "Stay" is off of Under the Boards, "She" is off of In Reverie, and "Three Miles Down" is off of Can't Slow Down

[Dre Okorley]

I once fell asleep with my iPod on shuffle and woke up listening to Lars and the Bastards Mainlining Murder.

Not as intense as either of the brand new scenarios, but I was thoroughly freaked the fuck out.

[just.Starla.]

Lydia, Death Cab, Bright Eyes, and maybe Margot and the Nuclear So and So's

[artisticsinger]

Augustana, City and Colour, and little bits of Owl City

[OdeToTheSun]

Dredg, Lights, and Nickel Creek

[IWasaCamera]

Downhill.

[sweepthenation]

Anberlin

[Dre Okorley]

Anberlin

I'd agree with that one.

[matchbox202006]

I can fall asleep to Snow Patrol or Third Eye Blind's Blue

[Circa1628]

I can fall asleep to Snow Patrol or Third Eye Blind's Blue
Blue, nice

[mattmatumbo]

Enya always seems to works well for me. Nick Drake, Gary Jules, Neil on Impression, Chapterhouse, Pink Floyd, William Fitzsimmons, etcetc.

I fell asleep to that last night.

Typically i fall asleep to The Samuel Jackson Five, Jazz Classics, Yelle, This Will Destroy You, or The Omar Rodriguez Lopez Quartet.

[TachyonEvan]

Godspeed You! Black Emperor
Kenny G.

[undecidedshrub]

I can pretty much fall asleep to anything, but i guess if I had to choose I'd pick The Receiving End of Sirens, Circa Survive, and Armor for Sleep.

[rebekahhh]

Jack's Mannequin's TGP, Lydia, and Pompeii. It depends what mood I am in though.

[the daniel]

as odd as this may sound but Fear Before, their new cd is so chill and it always puts me to sleep. other than that, Copeland's new cd is really good to fall asleep to

[Tambourine]

I'm falling asleep to Pink Floyd toniiight

[RiCCioLi]

I usually just throw Brand New's TDAGARIM, but if i want to switch it up i go for some straylight run, biology, ava, armor for sleep, and the prize fighter inferno

[Jackfrost50]

Currently, I'm using Colbie Caillat while laying in bed. "Realize" is the 4th most listened to song on my Zune.
Years back, I always went to bed listening to Linkin Park's "My December."
Disturbed's "Darkness" was another one.

Brand New is good, except I prefer Deja Entendu.

[kearn1tm]

I can fall asleep to anything.

[Treblinkah414]

Brand New usually does it for me


as well as The Smiths' "Asleep"

[kevinrocks409]

Explosions in the Sky, This Will Destroy You and some of By the End of Tonight's more post-rock stuff.

[Jefferson Rank]

The Gorillaz definitely do it for me. That combined with my stained glass lightbulb make me drowsy immediately.

[caress me down]

Jack Johnson.

[fightoffyrdmns]

i woke up in a cold sweat one night to jesse screaming "we all got wood and nails..." in jesus christ

Haha, I know this has nothing to do with sleeping but I always sing wooden nails, even if it's wrong.

[flynn92]

the receiving end of sirens.

[Ziro]

I like to fall asleep to to the Number Twelve Looks Like You.

[Stephen Chamberlain]

Yo La Tengo
What Yo La Tengo specifically> Just curious cuz they're one of my favorite bands.
Enya always seems to works well for me. Nick Drake, Gary Jules, Neil on Impression, Chapterhouse, Pink Floyd, William Fitzsimmons, etcetc.
Nice Chapterhouse mention. No one ever talks about them which is a shame with Whirlpool's classic status.
I always shut my iPod off right before I go, I find it impossible to fall asleep to music :shrug:
I I know what you mean. I always shut mine down, too, just when I'm drifting off.


For me, all time favorite would be the Mercury Program's A Data Learn the Language. Most relaxing album ever I say. Lately, though, it's been the Fun Years' Baby, It's Cold Inside.

[Gwytherspoon]

My favourites for sleeping are most of The Cure's darker material, and City and Colour and a bit of Radiohead mixed in for good measure.

[IWasaCamera]

People can fall asleep to TDAG?

[dennybear]

Brand New or The Early November

[Circa1628]

I have been having Beach Boys- In My Room on my sleep mix almost every night

[Circa1628]

People can fall asleep to TDAG?

you don't get put right to sleep listening to "Limousine"?

[IWasaCamera]

Nope. I suspect Handcuffs could remedy my insomnia though.

[fightoffyrdmns]

People can fall asleep to TDAG?

I don't understand either. I did one time, and I woke back up to Jesse screaming. Never again.

you don't get put right to sleep listening to "Limousine"?

Limousine starts off low, but picks right back up where Degausser left off. The one time I ever fell asleep to TDAG was right before Bangkok, and I woke up halfway through Luca. Will never make the mistake of falling asleep to it again. The only thing I could understand is maybe right after Archers...

[Gwytherspoon]

I have actually fallen asleep to converge before which surprised me greatly.. I guess it was a bit of an experiment more than anything.

[Circa1628]

that's impressive

[igetmikey]

Usually Terror or Madball

[dennybear]

Usually Terror or Madball

I hate you.

[DRUMMERGIRL121]

Anberlin, Bright Eyes, Death Cab For Cutie. And Chamberlain, if Im in the mood.

[igetmikey]

Clearly never listened to Terror, it pumps you up so much that you sleep like a baby.

[dennybear]

Clearly never listened to Terror, it pumps you up so much that you sleep like a baby.

I've listened to Terror more times than I've masturbated... it's safe to say they're Terrorble.

See what I did there?

[soundofasmile]

usually i'm sung to sleep by joni mitchell, crosby stills and nash, alive in wild paint, the beatles' acoustic songs (blackbird, yesterday, etc), jack's mannequin, or francoise hardy. french pop music is quite relaxing.

[TheOtherAndrew]

What Yo La Tengo specifically> Just curious cuz they're one of my favorite bands.
Well I only have one of their albums (I Am Not Afraid of You) and Pass the Hatchet/The Story of Yo La Tango both work really well.

[IWasaCamera]

Pick up I Can Hear The Heart Beating As One when you get the chance.

[Viva Sonata]

Brother, Sister is probably my disc of choice to play when I want to sleep. It's just easier that way for me.

[erinfxs]

Brother, Sister is probably my disc of choice to play when I want to sleep. It's just easier that way for me.
That's probably my favourite of mewithoutyou at the moment :-)

Personally I like playing some Something Corporate to sleep to!

[xOBEYx5]

Samesies as OP. Plus TREOS' Mi Fa Mi work, City and Colour. Anyone listen to Moving Mountains' full length; because that and Lydia are my two favorite as of late.

[beyondthelonely]

I prefer silence for going to sleep. The only things i've ever fallen asleep to are oasis 'whats the story morning glory' and thursday full colapse, so who knows

[Tambourine]

I recently discovered that The Madcap Laughs is actually rather soothing.

[dancelukedance]

I like Circa Survive and Jack's Mannequin to fall asleep to. Cool thread

[softhands]

I'm going to have to agree with City & Colour.

[HometownHero]

The best band to fall asleep to is Paramore. Hands down.

I would fall asleep to them to due to how boring they are

[reissgoespunk]

Sigur Rós.

[GoodSausage]

Mars Volta - Although it doesn't really put me to sleep, i just love the shit.

[mybreakingpoint]

lately, i've been falling asleep to Deas Vail's full-length

very chill, gorgeous vocals. great stuff.

[Bunnies]

Damien Rice.
Sigur Ros.
Explosions in the Sky.
Porcupine Tree.

[musikjunky311]

Iron & Wine
Bon Iver
Nick Drake
City and Colour

[Dre Okorley]

Eh, I just find them calming. Same thing.

[Thomas Balkcom]

Right Away, Great Captain

[Chancetobe]

When I'm on a plane or something and want to fall asleep, only The Fray seems to do it. I love them, but, it's good sleeping music I guess.

[IWasaCamera]

Iron & Wine
Bon Iver
Nick Drake
City and Colour
Sore thumb.

[boxingwithstars]

I don't understand either. I did one time, and I woke back up to Jesse screaming. Never again.

yeah, i can maybe fall asleep to Deja but not TDAG. just the other night i was falling asleep with my ipod on shuffle when Sowing Season came on, and as soon as he started screaming i woke up.

lately i've been falling asleep to Right Away, Great Captain! or Broken Social Scene.

[scenopath]

Incubus (Morning View)
