I love sleeping, so I consider a song which makes me fall asleep to be a very good thing. That said, very few tracks actually do: most of the time when I'm listening to music, I want to concentrate and hear different details, or at least not just have something in the background completely passing me by.
However, there are obviously some genres which make me feel relaxed and at ease, defenceless almost. This track immediately came to mind as particularly anaesthetising:
'Svefn-G-Englar' is just magnificent - quiet, wonderfully paced, elegant and most of all simple. I've seen Sigur Ros live a few times and this is always a highlight as it tends to have the whole audience completely spellbound in a way I've not really seen with other long, slow tracks.
The video for this is also one of the most innocent, pure and beautiful things you'll ever see.
