It's National Relaxing Day - a day to slow down, take a break from fast-paced life and rejuvenate the mind with some sweet, precious downtime.

After work, the morning team has some relaxing plans of their own. Jill and little Stanley will likely take a cat nap together, Brian will sit on the front porch with his wife and go Pokemon hunting with his daughter, and producer Anna will see a movie with her friends.

However you are planning to celebrate today, let's get things kicked off right. What songs do you want to hear that feature various forms of relaxing for today's 9:30 Coffee Break?

And thanks to Heidi for the idea!

Songs played

Sittin on The Dock of the Bay - Otis Redding
Sleeping In - The Postal Service
Orinoco Flow - Enya
Summer Breeze - Seals & Croft
High By The Beach - Lana Del Ray
