- Relaxing and Calming Tracks: Choose ambient, instrumental, or soft vocal songs that create a soothing atmosphere, such as:
- “Weightless” by Marconi Union (known for its calming properties).
- “Sky Full of Stars” by Coldplay for a celestial feel.
- “Come Away With Me” by Norah Jones for soft jazz tones.
- Songs About Exploration and Freedom:
- “Free Fallin'” by Tom Petty (metaphorical, not literal free-falling!).
- “Leaving on a Jet Plane” by John Denver, for a classic travel vibe.
- “Fly Away” by Lenny Kravitz.
- Upbeat and Happy Tracks:
- “Walking on Sunshine” by Katrina and The Waves to lift spirits.
- “Happy” by Pharrell Williams for an energy boost.
Songs to Avoid:
- Stress-Inducing or Negative Themes:
- Songs with titles or lyrics about plane crashes or disasters, such as “Crash Into Me” by Dave Matthews Band.
- “Learning to Fly” by Tom Petty can be bittersweet, depending on context.
- Intensely Loud or Aggressive Music:
- Avoid heavy metal or hard rock that might make the environment feel more tense.
- Overly Melancholic Songs:
- Tracks like “Hurt” by Johnny Cash or “Tears in Heaven” by Eric Clapton might evoke sadness during a journey.
Choosing the right playlist can significantly enhance the flying experience and keep anxiety at bay!
