Music to help with Add and ADHD.

[Wulven]

I'm having weird reactions to the music in these videos. Feels like my brain focused more.

It's good to have calming music that isn't too involving to listen to. True background music etc. Helps focus. I find if a song has lyrics, or is too complex, then I will get absorbed into the music, rather than what it is I'm trying to focus on.

Aye, I've got a couple of things I like for similar reasons, though they dont sound quite like those two really.

There's this:

Also the music that plays during the majority of this video (takes a bit to get to it, the first short bits of music are unrelated):

And lastly, this freaky one for... some reason (may need to turn the volume up on this one):

Yeah I dont know the "why" for that last one, it's not exactly meant to be calming, as you can probably tell from the image. I never said any of it made sense though, now did I?


And yeah, it's gotta NOT have lyrics. Tend not to like lyrics. With certain very specific and rare exceptions.

Same here - if there is music with singing, or talking going on while I’m doing pretty much anything, either I stop & listen or become painfully stressed.

Solar Fields is a psybient musician who did the soundtrack to the first Mirror's Edge games.

His albums are very euphoric, space theme music. Real soundscape sort of stuff. Track 1 and 3 from this album are incredible:

Its been a theory for a long time that music effects our mind and thinking and there have been some studies done that support that. I remember classical music being identified as an enhancer. The study I remember looked at test scores when the person was listening to different types of music. They looked at the population as a whole however so perhaps other types might benefit people with specific conditions.

I stumbled on the effect by accident really many years ago, by finding what worked best as backround music.

There has also been the idea that music can help other things besides ourselves, such as animals and even plants. But I am unfamilar with the science behind it.

Still, I leave classical music on (radio) for my pets if I am going to be away for several hours and also during the winter in general when we are all limited to being stuck inside mostly and there is limited stimulation.

This song and most of the album helps me. Good for long trips in the car, too.

I've been binging BTS to get stuff done (I never listen to them otherwise). I just let YouTube autoplay.
