I've been uneasy and have trouble focusing on one task at a time because it seems like everything is within reach. Sometimes I would listen to chill music in an effort to ease my mind. Classical music helps me to focus too but some of it just ends up disturbing me. Maybe I shouldn't listen to it while doing my work. What kind of music helps you relax?

Death Metal mannn... I'm just pullin your leg. Like you, some classical, and Jazz. Maybe some of that space ambience type music, if you can call it that. Maybe good to go to sleep with.
For me, nothing beats gentle flute music. There's something so alien and relaxing about a well played flute. I also like listening to music in other languages. When I don't understand the words, I'm able to focus more on the music itself. That helps me relax.
RunsWithScissors, I'm just the opposite! I've found that when I listen to music with lyrics in a different language, I'm more distracted. I want to understand what they are saying, but obviously, I can't! I also speak snippets of French and Spanish, and so when I am listening to a song in those languages, I understand bits and pieces. That's really distracting!
Thank you guys! I'll try and listen to some of your suggestions. Ambient music sounds chill and so do flute sounds. That kind of reminds me about Asian classical which is a combination of both. Hopefully, I don't get too relaxed and doze off.
I prefer quiet, but found Brian Eno's Thursday Afternoon musical piece wonderful in headphones if you need to tune out sounds around you. It is ambient wiith purcussive, slowly changing elements but none that cause you to either expect or follow what's coming next.
I must be different because I can focus with any music on. At times when I feel like I'm getting nothing done, I put on music and get busy. What I listen to depends on my mood.
We're all different. Sure, I play music when I'm physically doing things but when I am composing and in deep thought I prefer only the voices in my head.
@safebet That was funny, sounds and voices in your head. I feel the same way though. Music distracts me at times when I'm trying to concentrate on something. There are times when I just need to hear myself think.
