I find some music/songs really brings me back on dry land.

The Zac Brown Band "Toes in the Water" Toes - Zac Brown Band Lyrics - YouTube

Sting......."Fields of Gold"

Rod Stewart ...."Sailing"

Pavorati........"Brindisi" from La Traviata Libiamo - Brindisi from Traviata - Joan Sutherland and Pavarotti - YouTube

Bonnie Raitt.............singing Richard Thompson's "Dimming of the Day" Bonnie Raitt "Dimming of the Day" by Richard Thompson - YouTube

and yesterday for me it was "The Hallelujah Chorus" from Handel's Messiah.

As Congreve wrote in "The mourning bride"

"Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast,
To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak."

and yes, it is savage breast that he said, not savage beast!

Try Kate Smith's original rendition of "God Bless America"!
