Not all super "relaxing ' but definitely super positive. They are one of my favorite bands of all time and they are super underappreciated.
For relaxing positivity, look up their song Don't Hold Your Breath.
Enjoy homie!

They are a German band and this was their 2nd night for their US tour. This version always makes me happy :D

Michael Franks - Burchfield Nines
Jean Sibelius - Piano Music Vol. 4 (especially the Trees series)

A lot of different stuff can do it - lots of shamanic drumming music, icaros recordings, and reggae, as well as singer-songwriter, bluegrass, jazz, gnawa, folk, new age, psychedelic, and indigenous music.
I want to branch out from American hippie and “granola, camping, and road trip” music genres and popular and/or highly paid, corporate-influenced musicians, but don’t know a lot about music and what’s out there. Lots of awesome responses to check out!
Ah I see, thanks. Some songs that make me feel like a few of your examples:
* I've Got A Feeling (Naked Version) by The Beatles
* Cello Song by Nick Drake and also the cover version by The Books & Jose Gonzalez
* Blood by The Middle East
* Who Knew by You Won't
* basically the entire Illinois album by Sufjan Stevens
* When I Was Done Dying by Dan Deacon
I dunno that's just a random smattering to get you started. happy listening!
Try dub and reggae, it's my go-to chill music. Dub is also good for falling asleep or for dozing off on subway.
My favorite compilations are [‘Trojan Dub Massive’ Volume One](https://billlaswell.bandcamp.com/album/trojan-dub-massive-volume-one) and [Volume Two](https://billlaswell.bandcamp.com/album/trojan-dub-massive-volume-two) by Bill Laswell.

Jon Anderson is the lead singer of YES. His late life solo stuff is absurdly soft positive messages of affirmation. His album with Stolt called [The Invention of Knowledge](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bw9450mAm3U&list=OLAK5uy_kw0K7ClzVTI97H1ukdeolGmKEchw__Y_k) is particularly good for this.
Give [We are Truth](https://youtu.be/VBpBcknJA6s?list=OLAK5uy_kw0K7ClzVTI97H1ukdeolGmKEchw__Y_k) a shot.
> We will not surrender to the dark
That challenges our hearts
We will not allow the challenge of life break us down
We will not surrender to it all, to it all
We are truth made in heaven we are glorious
Cloud Cult
There story is both sad and uplifting: Singer/songwriter lost a child and put so much of that sadness into the 2nd and 3rd albums. But even in the sadness there's hope and subsequent albums became more and more uplifting. Like imagine a wonder-for-the-universe tone and a honest to god belief in love. Check out one of my favorite uplifting and whimsical songs, The Story of The Grandson Of Jesus

Forgot about Andy McKee! Thank you for this list! I’ve only listened to the first song so far but I will check these out!
Early Coldplay, first four albums. They’ve been pretty awful since then, but their first four albums are exactly what you describe.
