Because if you're dead, you are truly, finally relaxed.

I usually don't listen to soft, relaxing classical music; I prefer big, happy symphonies with timpani and cymbals. But I love Chopin's "Raindrops, and Beethoven's "Moonlight Sonata."

"Depuis le jour" from the opera Louise by Gustave Charpentier , "Marietta's Lied zur Laute"" from the opera Die Tote Stadt by Erich Korngold and "Voi avete un cor fedele" by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

I enjoy so many but here is one or two I always find I can relax and chill to!

John Cage: 4' 33"

The peanut song

My favorites are 'Debussy' by Claire De Lune

and 'Bellas Lullaby' by Carter Burwell
