When I need background music I tend to put in some musicals. Plus listening to Phantom of the Opera or Les Miserables right before bed can lead to some fun dreams.

God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through

You make pretty daisies pretty daisies
Love I gotta find what you're doing about things
Here a few witches burning
Gets a little toasty here
I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows
Tell me you're crazy maybe then I'll understand
You got your 9 ironin the back seat
Just in case
Heard you're gone south well
Babe you love your new 4 wheel
I gotta find why you always go when the wind blows

Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky fall
Will you even tell her if you decide to make the sky

God sometimes you just don't come through
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through
Do you need a woman to look after you
God sometimes you just don't come through

If God had a name, what would it be
And would you call it to his face
If you were faced with him in all his glory
What would you ask if you had just one question

And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home

If God had a face what would it look like
And would you want to see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like heaven and in Jesus and the saints and all the prophets

And yeah yeah god is great yeah yeah god is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
He's trying to make his way home
Back up to heaven all alone
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome

And yeah yeah God is great yeah yeah God is good
yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

What if god was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on the bus
Trying to make his way home
Just trying to make his way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to heaven all alone
Just trying to make his way home
Nobody calling on the phone
Except for the pope maybe in rome

I also like the original version of the Hallelujah song by the author Leonard Cohen:

My favorite is Suzanne from Mr. Cohen:

What about classical music or something like Sitar music?

Those "boys" are looking pretty old, PP. Something about that receding hairline just doesn't match up with "boys".
I can bet they are much younger than you harmony.

Sides that, they still kick gluteus maximus with tunes like "The more I see", "Master of Puppets" "So What"

The More I See represents the exmo experience:
From where I stand I see
Pain, suffering and misery
Yeah

The more I see, the more I see
The less, the less I believe

From where I stand I see
Hate, violence and war, oh

The more I see, the more I see, ooh
The less, the less I believe

The more I see, the more I see, aah
The less, the less I believe, I believe

From where I stand I see
Pain, suffering and misery
Yeah

The more I see, the more I see, no
The less, the less I believe

The more I see, the more I see
The more I see, yeah, the more I see, yeah
The more I see, yeah
The less, the less I believe
