Stress Relief with Music: Marconi Union's 'Weightless'

June 3, 2025

The British group Marconi Union developed the song 'Weightless' in collaboration with sound therapists specifically to relieve stress in listeners. The melody starts at 60 beats per minute - the average resting heart rate - and gradually slows down to 50, synchronizing with the rhythm of your body, like a lullaby for your nervous system. A study was conducted: participants solved complex puzzles, and those with headphones playing the track 'Weightless' were able to reduce anxiety by 65% in 8 minutes.
