Ever had a day at work, where time seems to be passing slowly and you feel like you're dragging yourself until the clock tells you it's time to leave? Don't worry you're not alone. It's in fact normal to feel dazed and exhausted after a day's work - especially in a fast moving city such as Dubai.
There is a solution to ward off stress however. Time and again, studies have been made on the impact of listening to music while working. Depending on the genre, listening to music at work could either hinder or improve productivity. That being said, here are six of the most relaxing songs you can listen to whenever you feel stressed out.

Mozart - Canzonetta Sull'aria


You might recognise it as the melody you can hear in the film "The Shawshank Redemption" but movie aside, this tune is a great listen after a stressful period.
Café Del Mar - We Can Fly

Suffice to say, 'We Can Fly' reminds listeners of those easygoing travel shows back in the day. Coupled with some instrumentals that aren't at all exaggerated, this is a must on any playlist

Adele - Someone Like You


Known all over the world as a heartbreaking tune to a love that once was, Adele's hit is scientifically proven to reduce stress . According to music experts consulted by The Wall Street Journal, the beauty of 'Someone Like You' is that it is sprinkled with notes similar to 'approggiaturas' - tones which are known to build tension and invoke strong emotions to the listener. Bring your tissues for this one.
Coldplay - Strawberry Swing


British-band Coldplay is no stranger to any person's playlist. The band's music is the hallmark for therapeutic music. Apart from the easy tune, you can also appreciate its music video that evokes the same relaxing feeling.
Airstream - Electra


Running for a full six minutes, you'll be rejuvenated after you listen to Airstream's tunes. Many users on Youtube suggest playing the song slower for added meditative qualities. Just put this on, and you'll be filing your reports in no time.
Marconi Union - Weightless

At an astounding 8 minutes, 'Weightless' is in fact not just a song made with instruments. It was also made alongside scientists and sound engineers to induce sleepiness in its listener. Don't believe us? Listen to it below. The song's beats are actually synchronised to the beating of the human heart and Shortlist even considers this song "more relaxing than a massage, walk, or cup of tea."
