Staying Calm

I'm not generally a nervous flyer but there have been times when I have consciously plugged in my headphones and listened to something soothing, usually when the crew have been told to strap themselves in quick!*  So when I can across a Spotify playlist called "Calming Music to Fly to", when reading this blog, I was interested enough to download the tracks and save them to my ipod.

After all, there are times when I need to be calm even though my feet are firmly on the ground!

What do you think?  Would this playlist calm you?

Someone like you - Adele

Orinoco Flow - Enya

Piano on the beach - Liborio Conti

Piano Concerto #21 - Mozart

Better Together - Jack Johnson

Pure Shores - All Saints

Buffalo Soldiers - Bob Marley and the Wailers

Scar Tissue - Red Hot Chili Peppers

Paradise - Coldplay

As I lay me down - Sophie B Hawkins

Inside Out - Britney Spears

Ignition - R. Kelly

Flaws and All - Beyonce

The Christmas Song - Nat King Cole

Space Oddity - David Bowie

Yes, it's rather an eclectic mix, isn't it?

* The most memorable flight was the one when the young member of the cabin crew was sitting facing us in her seat, strapped in through the heavy turbulence and crying!  (Not a British Airways flight, I hasten to add ;-)

Very eclectic Gill! I used to fly up to Gladestone every two weeks when Steve was working away on a Quantas dash 8, don't know why they are called that as I recon they seat at least 20. I remember one of the first times I flew up and the flight attendant asked if I wanted coffee while she was bounced about in the isle. I said half a cup would be fine, at least I had a chance of keeping in the cup. I got to know the crew quite well, and they would often say, I think it's going to be a half cup flight today.
