世界上最令人放松的歌曲

A video for the track that has been “scientifically proven” to be the most relaxing song in the world has been released as part of an album with five other songs.

Named Weightless, the music can apparently slow the heart rate, reduce blood pressure and decrease levels of cortisol（皮质醇） released in response to stress.

The eight-minute long track was made by Manchester-based Marconi Union in cooperation with the British Academy of Sound Therapy. It was claimed to be the most relaxing song ever after a scientific study by the Mindlab Institution in 2011. Since then the band has expanded upon the original song, releasing a video for it and recording five others.

The director of the video Ritchie Johnston said he used a drone（无人飞机）because its “grace in the air and precise flight capabilities made it the ideal subject for the shoot.” He said, “Orchestrating（把...编成管弦乐器）the routine together proved challenging as I was using a technique that displayed patterns which I was unable to fully comprehend until the project was finally finished.”

In 2011 scientists played the song to 40 women and found it to be more effective at helping them relax than songs by Enya, Mozart and Coldpla. The women were connected to sensors and given challenging puzzles to complete against the clock in order to bring on a level of stress. They were then played different songs as their heart rate, blood pressure, breathing and brain activity were recorded.

Studies found Weightless was 11 per cent more relaxing than any other song and even made many of the women “drowsy” in the lab. It led to a 65 per cent reduction in overall anxiety and brought them to a level 35 per cent lower than their usual resting rates.

The ambient（溶歌入境）song features guitar, piano and electronic samples of natural sound escapes.

Lyz Cooper, founder of the British Academy of Sound Therapy, said Marconi Union had used scientific theory to make the “perfect relaxing song.”
