Musical Interlude: A song I randomly recalled today....I have a fond memory of when I first heard it, popping the cassette into my car's player as I drove home from work on a chilly fall day as the sun was setting...it's got a real sunset vibe to it.
"Baby Can I Hold You Tonight," performed by Tracy Chapman.

Musical Interlude: Mary Chapin Carpenter is still a reliable favorite. I find her voice and style enormously relaxing; a sense of warmth and intimacy that soothes.
"Note on a Windshield," performed by Mary Chapin Carpenter.

When the world is going to hell, there's Ella.
My advice? Listen to as much of her music as you can.
Musical Interlude: I hadn't heard this in years and then caught it at random on the radio, and it enveloped me like a big comforting hug. And really listening to it...it's about a guy who went to Hollywood to be a star, but is going home after his dream didn't work out...but the narrator is going with him because she can't live without him. So maybe another dream came for him? Anyway, let me leave you in the hands of Miss Gladys...
"Midnight Train to Georgia," performed by Gladys Knight and the Pips.

好久没听歌，刚刚开听直接打开歌库搜索陈奕迅开始在其中随机播放……
听了十几首突然想到，既然有comfort food这种说法，那也能说有*#ComfortMusic *吧！
特点大概是
1. 从第一次听到现在，已经过了挺长一段时间（呃 有种陈酿酒的感觉？）
2. 听过很多很多次，非常非常熟
3. 任何时候想听都可以拿出来听，基本不会厌倦想切歌，每一次听都忍不住感叹好好听或者感觉很舒服
4. 甚至心情不好的时候拿出来听能起到安抚效果（躲进熟悉的安全区）、想专注干正事的时候（例如做作业）拿出来听能变成完美背景乐（因为太熟悉了 注意力不会被干扰）

现在能想到的、对我来说的comfort music大概：
陈奕迅绝大部分听过的歌 特别是粤语 特别是我最熟的几十首
拉拉打雷的几乎所有歌
史密斯的大多数歌
lorde的前两专
草东的丑奴儿
Jeff Buckley的几乎所有歌
Love的Forever Changes的几首
Talking Heads的余光中的几首
Fleetwood Mac的Dreams
还有一些很喜欢的，但感觉可能不像comfort music，例如pf的迷墙我现在没事不会拿出来整轨听了；还有一些太刺激或者太丰富，每次听都忍不住被吸引进去放下手头的事认真听，就并不属于舒适包裹的环境音了（想想 好像上面我列的list确实基本都是比较轻和舒缓的……）
Left to my own devices, my default comfort holiday music will always be Mannheim Steamroller, and my default comfort non-holiday music will always be Steely Dan. What’s yours?
