Picture this: you just double-checked—no, triple-checked —your luggage, waited in long lines through security and customs, rushed through the airport to the gate, trekked through the boarding bridge to your plane and found your seat.

And then…nothing. You’re already bored of eavesdropping on strangers and your butt’s going numb from sitting for so long, despite the fact that you haven’t left the ground. Soon enough you’ll lose cellular connection to the world you’re about to see from a bird’s eye view, with nothing but monotonous iPhone games to keep your mind busy.

Fear not, The Eyeopener has you covered! Listen to this playlist of hand-selected airplane tunes to keep you calm, cool and entertained while you glide through blue skies to your destination.

If you get anxious during takeoff, the first track on this playlist will soothe your nerves. Legwurk (real name Tani Kahn) has spent many years touring with Still Woozy as a bassist, keys player and guitarist—and her experience definitely shows in her own music. “Holding Back,” a song from her first album, is an uber-dreamy, ethereal tune that sounds like being held in the embrace which Legwurk sings she’s longing for.

The honey-like strings and distant bongos on " Mexican Dream" all but beg you to pause for a moment and be thankful. There is no better place to listen to this song than from the window seat of an airplane. This 1970s composition by film composer Piero Piccioni was originally written for the Italian crime movie Colpo Rovente —or Red Hot Shot in English—and makes any beautiful scenery 10 times more stunning.

Even if you aren’t going somewhere warm, this sunny bossa nova, a style of jazz originating from Brazil, is perfect for daydreaming that you are. The saxophone and vocals in this piece bounce back and forth in a perfectly coordinated and high-energy dance. Close your eyes and let the power of your imagination transport you to a cafe in Rio de Janeiro, sipping fresh espresso to Bonfa’s plucky guitar sounds.

Queue the melancholic daydreaming! The faded, feathery falsetto lyrics of this number by Japanese quartet mol-74 will have you staring out the window and romanticizing even life’s most mundane moments—there’s nothing that can’t sound beautiful in its steady rhythm. Get swept away in your own thoughts and indulge in the delicate piano of mol-74.

If you’ve watched Barry Jenkins’ Moonlight, you’ll remember this one from the diner scene where Kevin (André Holland) and Chiron (Trevante Rhodes) meet again after years apart. Jenkins added the song into the scene where the two characters exist in a world of their own. If a lover lies on the other side of your journey, this track will especially tug at your heartstrings. Barbara Lewis’ silky vocals and the heartbeat-esque trumpet bleats will make you sick with longing for your other half.

Another love song, this one is filled with harmonizing tracks as thick and sweet as honey. Orion Sun a.k.a. Tiffany Majette, drifts between the R&B and dream-pop genres in a tender slow dance. The groovy beat of this track instantly zaps any worry from your mind. Her voice sounds eerily familiar with an intimate softness so she can play the part of your best friend while you’re high in the sky.

How could we make a plane playlist without including this track? " Flight 22" might be the most perfect plane nap song, brought to us by none other than the sweet and sultry R&B goddess Kali Uchis. Uchis shows off her impressive vocal range with on-point falsetto “ooohs” throughout the effervescent track. Soft strings underneath Uchis’ echoey vocals will rock even the shallowest of sleepers into a dreamy slumber.

Mort Garson’s quirky album Mother Earth's Plantasia wasn’t made for people, but for plants. Garson composed this album at a time in the 1970s when scientists were beginning to believe the health and productivity of plants could be altered by the kind of music played around them. Whether for humans or our foliaged friends, the simple whistling and boisterous notes all made via Moog synthesizer — a kind of electronic instrument capable of mimicking other instruments like the piano or drums—emulate the feeling of being awake on a plane while your cabinmates are sleeping. Prepare to be energized with each zappy, synth belt!

OK, you’re restless as hell and mentally you’re all-out headbanging and shredding air guitar to this soulful groove. Yin Yin captured that main character feeling of being oh-so alive yet alone in your own excitement with “Pingpxng” with a plucky surf rock guitar rhythm. This twang is certainly one that’ll have your big toe jumpin’ up in your boot.

And at last, your arduous journey is over—the plane has made contact with the tarmac and you’ve landed in your own little corner of the world. The soft and simple guitar chords paired with mature, melancholic vocals in "My Little Corner of the World" give one the feeling of a new beginning in any place, be it foreign or familiar.
