I don't know if this is what you meant (these are mostly instrumental), but here's the kind of songs I think of with that. I don't know if you could tell, but I sort of love it when bands who usually don't do instrumental songs release an instrumental track.

Also, can't find it, but all of the Safety Not Guarenteed score.

The first two that came to mind were "Fade into You" and "How to Disappear Completely (and Never Be Found)". Perfect songs with which to lie awake in bed with the lights off and contemplate the complexities of life. They're kind of dark, and are prone to induce sadder thoughts and realizations, so perhaps not the type of relaxing you were looking for?
