Inspiring Music for Creatives - Rainy Day Piano 

Come, traveller. Come rest in this shelter. Take off your boots and warm up by the fire. You're safe here. Rest and be at peace

I've listened to a lot of these while writing, and this one actually is by far the best for creative work. It feels intentional enough to listen to, but not so self-assertive your mind can't wander. It's stimulating but not distracting, mellow but not boring or saccharine like most 'relaxing' playlists. Really excellent.

I'd watch a whole movie with this artwork. Really, really superb.

Felt sad, might go on an adventure later. Anyone with me? See you at the tavern 🍻

I genuinely appreciate this music and the lovely crowd of people that comes with it. It's refreshing just to see so many nice people either putting out a kind word or giving a piece of advice or just sharing their own appreciation. It really makes everything better for me right now because I'm going through a rough time. So it's just nice to see a bit of kindness going around.

Back here again. No matter how long it takes, I always return here

Most people I see at work are depressed, or unfulfilled, and it really shows in their mood and their actions. But we are still alive. I find that much of our suffering is brought about through overthinking. Do what you love, and treat each other kindly. You will find happiness.

I've probably been here 200 times since this was released. I'm so glad to have been here the day it came out, and glad to still be here. Thanks for the wonderful atmosphere Blue Turtle!

So many sleepless nights filled with tears and sadness. My life has been horrible for me for the past few months, but I almost always listen to this music as I sleep. I read everyone’s kind words of affirmation and love, it’s really the only thing keeping me going. Thank you. To any stranger reading this; I hope you feel at peace, I hope tomorrow brings you joy, I hope that you can see the person you love, To wake up and know that you belong here. Don’t give up. Don’t stop being you. You’re perfect.

It comforts me to know that, despite all the things going on in the world, there are people who are genuinely kind and people who create beautiful things like this. Maybe the glimmer of hope in the world is more than just a glimmer

Some people tend to forget that the best stories begin in the rain. Tears fall to mingle with heaven's drops at the loss of a friend or a love; weeping impinges with divine fury into the dirt between the feet of men-at-arms, soldiers as tightly packed as the rain; or perhaps sitting inside and watching life be nurtured by the gentle downpour. Perhaps one or none or all? Our story this evening? With us being slumped over in a puddle amidst mud in a small town with a tower nestled in the center like a crown. I'd never much understood why they say crossroads are important places. But The Stranger trudging through the rain did stop at this one and that's how I found family again. Or rather, he found me.

As I'm writing this, a big storm has settled over my house, in a place where rain is rare (happens a handful of times a year, snow happens once every 2 years or so, even less now with climate change). I feel a sense of immense peace, and I've never felt this way before. I spent the last 2 hours working so productively, like I've never worked before. I guess what I'm trying to say is that today was a huge sigh of relief, and your music was the perfect accompaniment. Thank you, Blue Turtle, for everything you do for us.

Hey random stranger reading this I wanna tell you you did a magnificent job today and it's time to rest now you deserve it and I'm proud of you

3 years on I always find myself returning to this one.

What a nice playlist to write a d&d game

(in response to lofi hiphop) As a 53 year old I would like to add: 1- Drink at least 1 lt of water every day, and stay away from carbonated drinks, and any other kind of bottled juices. Nothin replaces water, not even sports drinks. 2- Eat fruits every day. 3- Stay away from sugar as much as possible. There's plenty enough in almost any processed food you will eat. 4- Stop eating sausage, hotdogs, and any other type of cold meat. 5- If you vape or smoke, I would like to share with you, that my father died in 2014 of smoking-related throat cancer. He had stopped smoking in the early 70's! That stuff you put into your lungs, whether it's the tar and soot from tobacco, or the oils from vaping, will NEVER leave your lungs. It's not like our digestive system, once in there, it stays there and accumulates. 6- Try to at least make a 1-mile walk every day, it's enough to help your heart and circulation, you don't know how important that becomes when you are older. 7- Don't let stress get to you. Nothing is so important that it means you will feel sick from it. Everything is temporary in life, the good and the bad. Meditate whenever you can, but above all, enjoy your life, it's soooo precious! 8- Be kind to others, everyone has a bad day, and when people are rude to you, responding with a kind word will actually change their day, and yours. 9- Nothing makes you feel as good, as helping someone else. Try it. Go out of your way. But be mindful of respecting someone else's privacy. 10- If you have family, try to make sure you are always in touch with them, especially siblings and parents. No friend can replace them, and one day, without warning most probably, they will be gone. 11- BREATHE! 12- SMILE. 13- Sit up straight. 14- Put down your phone once in a while and look around. 15- Life is soooo short. I don't know when I became 53. Within my head, behind my eyes, I see myself still as a 20-year-old. Although my body tells me differently, precisely because I didn't do a LOT of those things I just put on that list. Try not to make the same mistakes. It's not all bad, in fact, it's great! I love my life, my wife, my kids, my job. I just want it to last a lot more time, so I'm trying to follow that list now. And it's never too late to change. Have a great day!

On rainy days, much does not happen, yet much does. It's best to remember the future is always unpredictable and in motion - For none can tell what will happen in that which has yet to be. Keep an open mind, keep your chin up, and dare to dream. A chance meeting can happen even on the rainiest of days, after all. Life is one great adventure, where hardly a thing is set in stone, and anything can unfold, mostly when you least expect it too. For adventure and wonder can be found everywhere, as long as you remember to keep looking for them.

It's actually raining as I watch this. The sounds are blending in a very satisfying way.

I really needed this today. 2021 has been hard enough, my sister's death, COVID, quarantines, family arguements and now a huge Fued.... I spent most of yesterday crying and still felt depressed and stressed and anxious and something was not right with my soul today. I found this music and these beautiful comments from complete strangers. Thank you! -from my heart to yours

Your world is my magic place sometimes...

Three years later, and I still come back to this in the quiet hours of the evening. Just to listen, and to think. Thanks so much for compiling this music, adding the rolling thunder and pouring rain, as well as illustrating such an imaginative scene that leads me to wonder what’s next, and be thankful for what has been. One of my favorite channels!

13:06 "And We Walk After That..." This song hugged me so much, I've been struggling with everyday stress trying to juggle my college studies and personal life, dealing with the emptiest holes in my mind and trying to hold on to something. And this unknown song on a random youtube playlist made everything in me calm down for a moment, it gave me the peace I had been looking for months. Thank you, whoever you are, author of the song and owner of the channel, you gave comfort to my soul.

Oh man, This is what I needed. Thanks to you I have finally sat my ass down and started writing my second book. Cheers mate!

FINALLY, one of these playlists with an actual drawn background and not AI !

I wake every morning a couple hours before Dawn this time of year. It's my most treasured time of day. And to encounter your sharing is utter perfection. Instantly subbed and will be gifting your artwork with like minded friends for the holidays. Thank you for sharing of your self!

This is a place where I could calm down after so many stressful things happening at the same time. Thank you for making my day.

Daym, I miss the rain. Hottest summer ever (yet), and rain happened, like, just 2-3 times.

I've been following this guy for years. So unique. I'm a pro guitarist for over 50 years. I rate him as one of the best in the world. Beautiful.

The only thing better than the mesmerizing music? All you absolute mad lads commenting and liking each other’s comments x3 The fantasy genre may not always be in the spotlight of society, but it’s the fans such as you who is reading this and finding comfort knowing there are others out there. The tavern that unites us all may not exist physically, it exists within the hearts and souls of us all x3

29:46 - Fairy Memoirs. A few weeks ago I was backpacking in the Sierra Nevada in California. There were many hours when I was completely alone. This song captures the humility, awe and wonder of being divinely transcended by a pristine high altitude pine wilderness.

(Might as well use all of this creative writing energy that was built up with this awesome music for something) With a rain as heavy as that day's one promised to be, he had hoped that his fellow townspeople would be wise enough to stay inside their cozy homes, but alas, the sight of a hooded figure approaching his door had proven him wrong. Whoever that person was, it seemed like a good drink was worth getting wet to them. The tavern keeper walked down the stairs, huffing to himself. As much as he enjoyed to make a living out of just root beer and lively talks with his many customers, he also liked to spare a few hours for reading and even writing whenever he could. His friends told him he was a fool acting out as a minstrel, but oh well, they still payed him the drinks. (To be continued)

this music makes me soo nostalgic ahh it reminds me of autumn evenings in my parents house, when i was coming home from high school while it was raining and i had to walk through this path in wood, covered with orange fallen leaves.. it was so quiet and peacefull 😌 and then laying in my bed under blanket with cup of tea and fantasy book, what a time haha

Pines helped me have an emotional breakthrough - I've been wondering for so long how I got to where I am. I realized a core memory and it brought me so much happiness.

Got a bunch of goosebumps and a couple of tears right now. It's mind-blowing how certain compositions of sound can have such astoundingly wild effects on the mental state of a person. Who would've guessed you can be happily melancholy?

I just wanna say THANK YOU for the effort of giving us a track list with timestamps and proper credit to everything in the description! It's something so small (and I know how tedious it can be too), but I feel like not enough channels do it. It makes me happy knowing that if I hear a track I especially love, I can find it AND the artist easily. Thank you, and God bless!

This is one of my favourite ones :) Even my 4 year old daughter falls asleep listing to the first tracks most nights! Special music that heals your soul

Just do your best. But, don't do it for anyone else, do it for you. Don't do it because you want to know what other people think. You don't owe that luxury to anyone but yourself. After all is said and done, if you can honestly and truly say to yourself that you've done your very best, then nothing that anyone else says will ever matter. This world can be a cruel place, there's enough disappointment and negativity as it is. If nothing else, even though we may never meet and I may never speak to you outside of this comment, know that I will be here to cheer you on, because I know that you're doing what you can to become the best version of yourself and nothing should stand in the way of that. You can do it. Whatever it is, I know you'll make it. 💙

I'm depressed and tired of everthing, but this gives me inner peace. Thank you. Keep working, it's so beautiful!

It had been a long, wet walk, and he was glad to have finally found shelter from the large drops of midsummer rains that blanketed the area for the past number of days. The grey clouds above had rolled in, and weren't keen on leaving yet. Standing on the wooden porch of the tavern and shaking off the heaviest of the water on his simple brown cloak, he found his way into the tavern, drawing his cloak back from his head and allowing the warmth of the fire and the smell of fresh baked bread, roasted meats and meticulous stews waft over him. He eyed the room, tired, but not unkindly. Most people seemed generally nonplussed as he'd arrived, so he made himself comfortable at a rough oak table off to one side, and waited patiently until a server made their way to him. Requesting a hot bowl of stew and flagon of ale, he finally relaxed and let the sounds of the tavern wash over him. He stayed there a while, maybe as long as a couple of hours, but the stew never went cold, nor the ale ever gotten warm. He finished the last of the dense wheat roll that was complimentary to the meal, retrieving the last few dribbles of broth from the bottom of the bowl he had recently finished a moment or two before. A seldom, warm smile overcame his features, and he elected to stay in town until the rain had gone and the roads had dried up. He might even find some coin to be made on cleanup efforts. He wasn't quite home, yet, but the tavern felt very close to it.

I always love it when I come across little gems like these

I work from home as a freelancer right now and I have a lot of work, only sleeping 3 or 4 hours every day thanks to this music I focus on the work.

I actually needed this... I was always used to listening to things that help me sleep but not things that help me think, or even get me out of the procrastination loophole.... this is great im sure im not the only one that feels this way so thank you

normally I get bored easily after drawing two or three drawings, but today while playing this I had this kind of creativity and I've made lots of inspiring drawings, thank you so much for this, I might try it while studying and see if it helps too.

It's so cool listening to this on a rainy day. The music and the raining sound outside of my window mingled together into a harmony.

Those slow piano chords in the background play directly on my heartstrings- there's something so nostalgic about them. Thank you for your moments of magic- it makes late night painting even more enjoyable, and late night working much more do-able🥰

I love how the scenes in these videos slowly change, it's so good for soothing my anxiety and slowing down my thoughts

Just a reminder The way you want to love and be loved, is valid. The dreams you have are valid. The goals you have are valid. Your healing is valid. Your happiness is valid. You have so much potential within you. You are capable of so much. And I am sorry that the world, at times, has tried to convince you otherwise. But you are going to do great things. You are going to become the person you are working towards. You are going to look back on the moment you ever doubted your future, or your happiness, or your heart, and you are going to be so glad that you kept going, that you kept believing in the fact that life was going to surprise you.

The best playlist ever. It's perfect for work and gives ability to concentrate on tasks and also is very calming and suits for falling asleep and dreaming about good things in life. I listen to it almost daily for about five months. Thank you so much!

A minute into listening to this and my creative juices started to flow ... scenes to write popped into my mind and everything hectically trying to make it happen dissolved. The writer in me could breathe. One of the best I've heard ... focus, inspiration, and calm wondering ... everything a writer needs to simply be ... thank you for the warm fire to sit at and a rain storm to listen to while I build worlds and live the life of my characters.

now I want to got on a adventure with my brothers at arms, doesn’t matter what we do or how large the beast is compared to us. Where we can laugh at our failures and support each other through hell itself. To watch the stars as our camp fire dances in the unknown shadows

Creating a DnD game for some friends, and your recent music and backgrounds has been a big help and inspiration for my writing. TY, I'll let you know how it goes.

"Yes, I want to see what's out there. But more importantly...I don't want to be left behind."

The Art and general vibe is just next level. I love this channel.

If your reading this, it's probably night time or maybe your studying for that upcoming test you have, or you might not be doing anything, you might just want to listen to some calming music. No matter the reason, I hope you know that everything is okay, take a deep breath, pause your studying, stop what your doing, look outside, go outside if possible, just for a minute. Take a minute to take a couple deep breaths outside, get some fresh air. Fill your lungs with the cold air outside, take a minute to look around, look at this beautiful earth we live on, it may be flawed but it's still beautiful. Just like you, I hope you dream, I hope you find yourself, do what you want to do, find your happy place, be around the people you love! Do anything that could help you. I might be a stranger talking to another stranger telling them what to do as if I know them, but I want you to know, you're loved by many. It might not feel like it but I promise things will look up for you. You'll find love, make friends with the greatest people, achieve your dreams. I hope you can live your own life, be the happiest you possible ❤

damn, this works. 10 mins into listening and i got a new idea for a story

i hope all of your dreams will come true one day. *and to my fellow students:* i am currently in college, just started my first day a few days ago. it's already been difficult bc of the pandemic, but we'll get through this.

One of the best Ambient Music channels I've come across! This was a beautiful journey! Thank you for immersing us in your creative world! Merci!

Love the rain 🌧 the lightning ⚡️

I love everything about this. Sometimes I just sit and listen as silent tears slip down my face, entirely captivated by the wonder and beauty and soft poignancy unfurling before me, within me, with each passing note.

I really appreciate this video. I love writing in my free time, even though I'm not the good. It gives me a sense of joy, creating a story. Even if I don't share it, I get to enjoy writing it.

You've honestly done an amazing job with your music and the art work. It really does set the mood and vibe. Keep on creating. You are doing an amazing job.

Tears in the rain.... but tears of joy.... have a good day to you - you who thinks that your all alone... I think of you often and wish you well...

this is what type of music playing in my head while making up fantasy-like stories with a happy and sad end.....

It did rain today. Felt very creative.

This is my new favourite. Rain and piano are the most relaxing sounds in the world

Thank you Blue Turtle

This has become one of my favorite RU-vid videos as of late. The ambience; the sound of the rain mixed with the piano, coupled with the beautiful animation creates something that inspires a wellspring of happiness. And as of late it is something that I sorely, desperately need. Thank you for feeding my imagination.

Just a small note, but I love how Ithaya is always presented in the context of a much larger environment. It really sells the feeling of traveling a long distance across a fantastical world

It rained softly, with the occasional strike of thunder briefly illuminating the rolling grey clouds. With his back to the wall, the man lit a cigarello. The embers glowing amber. Pulled deep. Breathed grey. Absently he watched droplets splash against churned mud and pools of water that had formed. Above the drone of conversation behind him, his ears pricked at the sound of hooves and wagon wheels. A peasant passed, with his head bent and his hood raised. The man took another drag, casually glancing at his surroundings. Houses of brick and mortar, all cast in the gloom. Windows had been shut against the rain, doors locked. No light in any of them. If it wasn’t for the pitter-patter, the world would have sunk into an uneasy silence. “Selron.” Said a voice to his right. He kept his vacant stare ahead. The smoke bellowed from his noses, like an enraged bull. “You’re late.” “Bah! A mere minute between friends.” He gave the source of the voice a most unfriendly look. Effortlessly flicking his burning cigarillo away, he gestured to the tavern door. “Shall we?”

when I see and hear it, I feel that I'm on a planet free of any evil, I know that on planet earth there are mega fantastic places but I haven't taken this tour yet, thank you for such satisfaction, it's magical

Love this! It makes me forget about time and I can just read and be absorbed in a book that helps me forget about the pain I’m feeling. Thank you ❤️

I looked up how to make a moving wallpaper just to make this my computers wallpaper. BONUS! the app lets sounds last over so I get soft music and rain forever now. Its a dream, thank you.

I had a pretty stressful day at work, this really helped to sooth down the nerves! Thank you.

It's really dry here in the Midwest hope the rain will come

This is by far one of the best inspirational music videos I have ever heard! I immediately got into a creative mood. And the characters are so cute!

I love being calm always and this feel such great and make something in my inner soul It’s an amazing relaxation music and your channel doing such a great job for everyone’s relaxation and peaceful keep going 😌

another all time favorite in you collection. I listen to this one all the time when reading and preparing for my D&D games.

My advice to all of u reading this "never be afraid to learn something new everyday". My goal in life is to learn as much as i could. As many skills as i could. And i can say that i'm on a right path ! I'm learning something every single day ! I'm learning new skills and am good at many too ! I'm a good as an artist, gamer, writer, runner, thinking, drawing, advisor, technician, learner, etc. I am learning all of these and i know that i won't ever be able to learn everything there is. But i want to learn as much as i could. Hoping someday i can be more than just a silent kid sitting in a classroom weak and getting bullied and being used when people need me.

Is this art style called something? I love it and want to explore more of it

Whenever I'm really stressed and tired in life, I come back to this video and listen to the great sounds and read through all the great comments. Those things help me relax, wake up and regain my spirit to regain balance. Thank you so much because your music is important to me and so many people. Wishing you all the best

Thanks for uploading this playlist! I was struggling to find some kind of music/background noise that wasnt too overstimulating or understimulating, and this was the perfect fit! The rain sounds were just loud enough that it drowned out any background noise, but the music was soft and gentle enough that I could easily pull my attention away from it when I needed to. It helped me with focusing enough to get my work done! Cant appreciate you and all the talented artists behind this enough, I hope you all have an awesome day! :) 💙

How is it that this feels happy, sad, melancholic, contemplative, and hopeful all at once?

Thank you for leaving several minutes of rain at the end to make the ending extra-soothing! I love it! You're the best!

This is too perfect. Not only is it great for any creatives, but it's particularly great for the scene I'm working on that takes place during a storm.

Hey creative being, come bro peaceful solitude and allow your creative energy to flow like water….✍🏽📖❤

I love that there isn't always something happening but like in real life stuff does happen, just instead of a car its bird riders and a water spirit

Woke up to a rainy day and this playlist is perfect for my morning 😊

Best place to come to write. I highly respect your talent for finding the right music to fit the mood and keep it that way. The art is always so captivating. Thank you for your hard work!

I love your switch to making lofi playlists as an exhibit for your lovely artwork. This'll get big I'm sure

Omg, I just realized I dreamed of this tavern yesterday, probably cause I watch this daily.

I love it, very nice to focus to

Feels like we got rid of this busy life for some time. No tention,no work, no emotions, just relax and meet new people and sit in an alien place.

That was the perfect background as I outlined a story I had been thinking about for way too long. Thank you so much ! And I love the artwork, I wish I could visit there !

Thank you. You have cured my stress disorder today.

This makes me really nostalgic for that game Banished and makes me wanna play it... anyone else remember that? Anyway, awesome video with some top-notch music and visuals!

Imma leave at 37:09, I just made a whole bunch of wells in my minecraft creative world and i finally have a design that i like. The journey of making said well was pretty fun when it's accompanied with this playlist. I'll be sure to finish it at some point

i am absolutely in love with this, thank you so much for making it

Thank you very much! This is one of my favorite works on the channel 💛🙏

Thank you for these playlists! I love them so much! The differences between each soundtrack keep long work hours from getting repetitive, the artwork is simple enough not to be distracting but gorgeous enough not to be boring, and the story they weave keeps me coming back for more. Thank you for all of these, and I hope you keep at it! Your work deserves more recognition!

I really enjoy Blue Turtle content, however, this is the ONE track I always come back to - time and time again. Thank you. Please make more gentle melodies like this.
