There’s something about the wind and the water, the motion of the boat, and that laid back sailing lifestyle that begs to be put to music.

A good sailing song can transport you to another time and place – where things are simpler, and your only worry is the strength and direction of the breeze.

Comprised mostly of Yatcht Rock (soft rock from the late 1970s and early 1980s featuring smooth soul jazz, R&B) this playlist is the perfect soundtrack for the rest of your post Labor Day sailings and adventures.

A 2012 study by the Phillips Research Lab (NL) demonstrated that music listening in car influences the experienced mood while driving, which in turn can impact driving behaviour. Designed to be at the foreground of concentration, this playlist serves as the focal object for contemplation itself.

Listening to something as you sleep can help you doze off because it distracts you from the endless whirr of your thoughts. If you spend too many hours staring at your bedroom ceiling, turn your screen display low (or off), snuggle into bed and prepare for sleepytime!

For the longest, people have enjoyed combining food with music. Musicians performed during dinner parties in Roman times, and minstrels entertained dining guests at medieval banquets. Today musical accompaniment during meals is much more common, and the music played more varied, than ever before. 

If you are tempted to believe that all music is the same, and what you play doesn’t really affect your senses – think again.
