Self Soothe by Tony Frissore is a relaxing and soft song that seems an in-depth slow breath. The song is structured on a gentle 80 BPM beat, which, naturally, makes the listener feel down to earth and relaxed. It slows the body and mind gently and sets one into a serene state since the beginning.
The lo-fi aspects provide a warm, softness of the tape to the song easy on the ears. There are subtle layers of percussion and ambient sounds in the background, which never require attention but just help to maintain the mood. Everything is well placed but relaxed letting the listener just be in the moment.
Self Soothe provides tranquility as an escape. It promotes relaxation in a non-intrusive manner without coercing the emotion and intensity. It is contemporary music, and thus it is ideal music to listen to during meditation, relaxation, or silent contemplation. The song is relaxed, endless and open, as in being suspended in clear water.
The musings are soft and murmur like slow rivers with the light twinkles of sounds and the whispers of the vocal that envelop you. The music is reassuring and comforting and it provides a safe zone where the mind can rest. It really seems to be a medicine to a disorderly world.
No frills, no fancy, no complicated, and of good quality, “Self Soothe” makes us remember that sometimes the best therapy is to take time, slow everything down, and have a listen to the silence between the notes.
