In my case I always like listening to “A whiter shade of pale”, it always works.
I’ve been struggling a bit lately with my mental health. I found a few collections from Lofi Girl on YouTube that always calm me down. They have several hour long compilations that you can check out
A Warm Place by Nine Inch Nails
“on the dock of the bay” by Otis Redding can pretty much make me cry if I’m in the right mood
Fade to black, Metallica usually.

I don’t have a specific song but any post-rock is perfect for calming down

Whiter shade of pale is beautiful
This is definitely too extreme for most people but I like “Bring Me The Head of The King” by Man Must Die
It’s angry enough for angry me to be okay listening to it but within a minute or so I’m in a better mood because I just like the band.
Usually the entire soundtrack of the Ori series: Ori and the Blind Forest & Ori and the Will of the Wisps. In particular, my favorites to calm down is “Separated by the Storm” and “Ori, Embracing the Light”
Bonobo in general is usually pretty good music to relax to.
“You Are The Blood”, the Castanets. Maybe it’s the game I first was exposed to it from, but it just sounds like… “It’s all over. Let your muscles go slack, let your trigger finger untense.” It sounds like what I imagine the peace of death to feel like.
I usually just put it on a Spotify playlist for yoga and relaxation.
Dizzy Wright - Killem Wit Kindness
This song always helps me realize how being upset is really nothing more than a barrier to clear thought and working past differences. Great jam to boot too!
