Relaxing Ambient Music to Celebrate Spring

Happy April! Because we are well into spring, I wanted to share some of my favorite relaxing ambient music to help celebrate the new season. Each track takes the listener into a beautiful, flower-filled world full of color, imagery, and life.

Relaxing Ambient Music

Wildflowers

This track is part of my album A Million Skies, and it uses sustained harmonies and unique textures to create a feeling of open space. It reminds me of a beautiful mountainside where the flowers are all in bloom, and the wind slowly stirs the foliage, creating a shimmering, wave-like effect.

Flower

I wasn’t able to find much information about this track, but the description in the YouTube video explains that this soundscape is “based on the new opening of a beautiful flower.” Its subtle sounds create an interesting atmosphere, one that slowly grows as texture and harmony are added. Like the new blooms of spring, the subtle changes in the music represent the coming of the new season.

Spring by Elskavon

This charming little track uses a sweet piano melody to create the sense of a flower in bloom. The soothing atmosphere paints an image of a beautiful, calm, spring day, perfect for this time of year. What is more hopeful than a fresh season full of color and life after winter? Spring encapsulates that idea through its light harmonies, simple texture, and nostalgic-yet-hopeful melody.

Underwater Flowers by Harold Budd (b. 1936) and John Foxx (b. 1948)

This mystical track uses brief melodic motifs over shimmering harmonies to create a sense of underwater movement. Budd and Foxx‘s use of harmonies really paints the image of shimmering light shining through the clear blue water to highlight some beautiful flowers.
