It has been known since antiquity that music can play a key role in the fight against anxiety. There are thousands of myths and stories describing a very powerful musician who has been able to reassure or put to sleep even the most angry animal.

Scientists have recently demonstrated the relaxing effect of music through a number of researches. It turned out that Marconi Union's Weightless song was probably the most soothing song in the world. According to Inc.com magazine, researchers at Mindlab International have shown that this song can reduce listeners' anxiety by up to 65%.

It's not only a rough guess, because the creators of Weightless have worked with a number of specialists to create a relaxing song that will help lower blood pressure, slow heart rate, deepen breathing, and ultimately reduce cortisol levels in the blood.

David Lewis-Hodgson, who was responsible for the research, noticed that some people fell asleep so easily while listening to the song that they were only advised to play it at home.

Here is a list of the top 10 calm and relax songs from this study:

10. “We Can Fly,” Rue du Soleil (Café Del Mar)

9. "Canzonetta Sull'aria," Mozart

8. “Someone Like You,” Adele

7. “Pure Shores,” All Saints

5+1. “Please Don’t Go,” Barcelona

5. “Strawberry Swing,” Coldplay
