Starry night sleeping songs

Far-away, floating songs from the space albums: wide pads, slow pulses and a sky full of quiet, for clear nights and drifting off somewhere else. Dreamy chillwave and ambient downtempo by Purrple Cat, instrumental, every song in full with a free MP3, free under CC BY 4.0.

How these songs were picked

Every song in the book was measured for tempo, loudness, brightness and steadiness. This list scores all 343 on its own rules, takes no more than 3 from any one release, leaves out the spooky albums and orders the picks so the list gets gently softer from first to last. From 9 releases: Sleep Tight, Sands of Time, Sea of Stars 2, Multiverse, Sea of Stars, House in the Woods, Above the Clouds, Whispers in the Dark, Nostalgia and Moving On.

Never

Never re-upload or release it on streaming services such as Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, Deezer or Tidal, through a distributor or any other route.
Never release remixes, samples or covers of it on streaming services either.
Never register it in Content ID or claim other people's videos with it.
Never pass it off as your own or sell the songs as they are.

Why so strict about streaming? Re-uploads, remixes, samples and covers on Spotify, Apple Music and other services get fingerprinted, and then false Content ID claims hit everyone who uses the music properly. Purrple Cat Self Releases have no Content ID, so there's nothing to clear when you use them as intended.
