What relaxes you? Making a drink and taking off your shoes. Reading a newspaper from somewhere else. Music. Music! Everything is Music.
These things relax me. Wear headphones, lie down. Listen.
Cat biting nails
Some people either love this or hate it. Me- have a cat on my chest relaxed enough to see me as an inanimate object, a heated bed, and start taking a bath or if I’m lucky, biting his nails- that’s heaven to me. Neither of us is going to move.
The nails, the purring, nursing kitten, the other sleepy cat, the light… this was someone’s peak experience.
ROM Pack
Something about this guy’s accent and brain dead delivery (“It”), the close-miked, compressed production, the music, and- well, I’m not sure what all else- lull me into a deaf, milky late-night stupor. Lights out. Next!
Sunday Night
Somehow, Beatrice Witkin, an electronic/ new music composer, got these two tunes to be used for the opening and closing credits of the early 70s nature show “Wild Wild World of Animals”.
They didn’t sound like the other music you’d hear on tv.
The instrumentals have an ineffable quality that, judging by the passionate, protracted comments on Youtube, haunted a lot of children, myself included.
These trigger feelings of Sunday night, sitting between my parent’s legs getting them to play with my hair, watching grainy footage of cheetahs stalking in the savanna… getting drowsy… eyes closing….
‘Night, people.
