Comforting Songs

I had the blues the other day, and I was listening to one of my favorite playlists.
Ripple by the Grateful Dead came on, and I instantly felt comforted.
I know there are more, but that's the one I choose to share in my OP.
Let's hear your "comfort songs" so to speak. Think of the song version of "comfort food"

I usually just buy some blow and toss on some gangsta rap.
In all honesty, I can't say I have go-to comfort songs, but certain songs -- somewhat randomly -- have served that purpose in the past.
After my grandmother passed, I basically had to have the song "Tennessee" playing whereever I went. Over and over. For like a week and a half. I think it must have been because of that one line "my grandma passed..." Stupid reason.* But I couldn't stop playing it.
*Now that I think about it, it wasn't just that one line. There were various reasons the song was speaking to me at that time. Most of the reasons were substantially contrived, but I guess that's how it works in such situations.

Good choice. Also, he does a good Swing Low, Sweet Chariot. Very comforting.

Weirdly enough, songs by Michael McDonald, Ambrosia, Player, England Dan, etc.

Patty Griffin - Heavenly Day
eta- hadn't listened to her in awhile, now I can't stop. She's got such a good voice. Another you may like, if you liked the first:
I don't ever give up

Okay, valid point, but IMO it doesn't beat Ripple in terms of comforting
