This Sanity Sunday song is by the Seattle-based group Barcelona. It is here coupled with the view of Japan's Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium. It certainly provides a few soothing minutes.
Lord knows, we can use it.
I dedicate this song to the outgoing president- Barack Obama to whom we owe a heartfelt thank-you for 8 years of hard and largely unappreciated work.
We are definitely going to miss you in a hundred ways we can't now even begin to imagine.
For what it is worth, this song was listed in their top 10 relaxing songs by researchers at Mindlab International, an independent research consultancy. (Legitimate or not, I can't tell you.)
The study set out to find which song is the most effective at helping someone to relax. Clinical psychologist Dr. David Lewis-Hodgson stated
Brain imaging studies have shown that music works at a very deep level within the brain, stimulating not only those regions responsible for processing sound but also ones associated with emotions.(The winner was this song by Marconi Union, which allegedly reduced anxiety by 65 percent in individuals who participated in their clinical study. )
Update: honestyingov has provided more relaxation a la the fish and music. Thanks so much.
