If there's a song that immediately forces me to just take a deep breath and relax, this is it. I don't think it's a fantastic stand-alone song - fairly repetitive, not a ton of content. But it was used as the theme song for the TV show Ed which was a favorite for me circa 2000. (And, sadly, that isn't available streaming anywhere and never got a DVD release.) It immediately takes me back to what feels like a simpler time. Love it.
