There are some days when you just need to sit down and listen to some music that is easy on the ears. That's when you need an easy listening playlist. Nothing to pump you or to make you dance, but soft tunes to de-stress after a busy day. I have put together a suggested playlist of songs that I find relaxing and enjoy listening to when I’m not in the usual mood of amped-up rock or pop songs. The list is in alphabetical order by author, as it is hard to rate these songs from best to worse. Some of these artists have multiple songs that would fit the list but I only chose one song from each artist to avoid repetition. I highly encourage you to look these artists’ music for the ultimate easy listening playlist.
