I normally cuddle without any music, but last cuddler wanted music on and now I am curious what everyone listens to when they cuddle?
I play 4:33 by John Cage over and over through most of the session.
I have 4 different playlists on my Spotify so depending on who I’m cuddling, I’ll choose one that I think suits our cuddle more. I have two playlists that have generic calming songs from artists like Michael buble, George Ezra, Etta James mixed with some yoga music. I sprinkle that with some music from my brother and his wife because their music is very calming.
My third list is all acoustic guitar or piano covers of popular songs. My fourth consists of very relaxing versions of Linkin Park songs. I know they are usually heavy songs but these piano and guitar covers are super soothing.
And sometimes I just have my sound machine going playing thunder, rain, a babbling brook. Whatever works 🌸🌸
I like to listen to this playlist. Typically it will result in singing out loud. It’s just a bunch of chill music from various genres.

@Sheena123 haha some of Michael Bublé is a bit too potent for me! Especially Feeling Good!
@grumpy_cat lol I definitely think some women got pregnant just listening to that song 😅😅
@JoyfulHeart I don't know how you can do that. It's so repetitive...
@CuddleDuncan Not everyone is comfortable with listening to it for too long. It's best when you have a quality recording of it. For me, it promotes profound mental focus.
I ask my cuddlers what they like to listen to, but I like chill house or hip hop instrumentals (chill hop)
@SweetiSammi What??!? Not the sound track of The Green Knight? 🤯
@JoyfulHeart the Green Knight stays on in the background. I assumed it was a silent movie 😅
lol
@JoyfulHeart OH MY GOSH!!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
4:33 That is some SERIOUS musicality!
@sillysassy Right???
Maybe we can listen to it together some day!
I actually have a playlist called cuddle songs on my Amazon music unlimited account.
Listed in order:
Forever Young by Alphaville
I Could Use A Love Song by Maren Morris
More Than Words by Extreme
The Power Of Love by Celine Dion
Always Will Be by Hammerfall
Heaven by Bryan Adams
These Dreams by Heart
Sound The Bugle by Bryan Adams
Nothing I've Ever Known by Bryan Adams
Winter Still by Miracle Of Sound
Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden
I typically listen to chill jazz or chill hop but might have to add some of these recommendations 🤔
Hell yea!! Reppin my Canadians!! 🌸🌸
I only listened to music with one cuddler because we had the same interest. We only found out because she saw some CDs on my bookshelf. It's not a popular genre and I never saw it mentioned here, including not once in the what are you listening to thread. For that reason I won't mention the genre. Other than that I never had any interest to listen to music while cuddling.
Dark ambient is perfect for cuddling! Well, I think so. @DaringSprinter enjoys it too, so that works out for us. Cryochamber usually does a 24/7 stream, and they've also got playlists.
I've never needed a cuddle playlist but if I did it would definitely feature Hawaiian guitar.
My main go to artists while cuddling, are Washed Out (especially Purple Noon album), Iron & Wine/Calexico, Franz Liszt, and John Coltrane. I do have more, depending on the client, but these are my definite go to playlists. Hope it helps with new ideas for all of your sessions. Happy snuggling, all! 😌🧜🏼♀️
Mine has Air, Beach House, Cigarettes After Sex, Alvvays, Spiritualized, LDR, and No Vacation among a few others.
Slight tangent, but I am trying to figure out WHICH streaming service to use. I'm not a fan of Spotify or Amazon. Is Pandora still a thing? There used to be a service called Rhapsody that got acquired by Napster.
@sideon I have premium pandora and I really like it. I've had it for like twelve years. It's like $10 a month, unlimited streaming music, customizable, you can make play lists, download songs, there's offline listening, etc on and on. They're dedicated to updating it so there's new features a lot.

some songs to relax together
I love music during cuddling 🎶 , I don’t have a cuddle specific playlist, but I would ask my cuddle partner what music they’re into & go from there.
I have several that I alternate between. It's all subtle, relaxing background music. It's soft enough that you can have a conversation over it while still filling the gaps in conversation to avoid piercing silence.

I put together a playlist once but now I can’t find it. It’s on an external hard drive somewhere. It’s one of those things that got discombobulated when I moved. It’s pretty eclectic. If I ever find it I’ll post some of it here.
@Babichev I have a recombobulator, and if I can find it, I'll send it to you.
Don’t have a preference. Just prefer not to hear any baby making music. My default is nothing or the sound of rain. Lol even if it’s raining. Lovely white noise that personally will not lull me to sleep because I am there with a purpose…. to cuddle.
