If you're looking for calming stuff to listen to in these trying times

It's hard to explain anxiety. It's like: what if your stomach was filled with bees, but your brain was also filled with bees? The bees aren't doing weird stuff or anything. They're just in there buzzing a little. The situation would be fine — if bees were supposed to be inside of you, I mean. (Bees aren't usually found inside living human bodies.)

A pal posted this great track in a Discord I run. It's an hour of the Cisco CallManager hold music:


It's really good! It reminds me of the music from Donkey Kong Country. Specifically the track "Stickerbrush Symphony": 


This is the good shit. Anyway if your bees are acting up, please give these a listen. Just remember that even though the bees aren't supposed to be inside you, they cannot hurt you. I think.
