I have to agree with both of these, depends on the mood I'm in. I'm a big fan of classical with a little light jazz / blues guitar on occasion, but sometimes, the silence is what makes it worth it - the chance to turn off the mobile and forget about the day to day cares for a while.


I do have to give an honourable mention though to "The Music of the Night" from Andew Lloyd Webber's The Phantom of the Opera...


Slowly, gently night unfurls its splendor
Grasp it, sense it, tremulous and tender
Turn your face away from the garish light of day
Turn your thoughts away from cold unfeeling light
And listen to the music of the night



Seems appropriate somehow.
