Not only a relaxing song, but great memories tied to it as well. Hey Saturday Sun - Boards of Canada

Well it's not actually a song, but Jean Baudins instrumental bass numbers are pretty rad:

One of the most relaxing songs i have ever heard. I have great respect for the way he composes music. Everything you hear is made by him using his guitar with effects and loop pedals.

Deltron 3030 - Mastermind.
 
Frou Frou - Must Be Dreaming.
 
Linkin Park - Walking Dead.
 
But the best for this: Tom Petty - Running Down A Dream. Also works for driving (when not tired, of course).

  
I could probably think of a load of others, but these are the ones off the top of my head.

@Chalian:  That was pretty cool but I would have gone with this one [桜の栞]
 
My answer is "Summertime" by Miles Davis with Gil Evens from his 1958 album Porgy and Bess.  It's so smooth and mellow; the epitome of cool.  
    
  
There are a few other jazz songs that I could mention as well such as: 
  1. "Just Friends" by Charlie Parker and Strings
  2. "I Can't Get Started" by Dizzy Gillespie
  3. "Moonglow" by The Benny Goodman Quartet
  4. "Twisted Blues" by Wes Montgomery
  5. "'Round Midnight" by Thelonious Monk
Jazz really moves me on levels that pop and rock don't which is why it remains my favorite music even though it's currently not my most listened to style.  Still, sometimes I go through phases and all I listen to are jazz performers.  I'm not too educated on new jazz musicians, so I tend to stick with the guys and gals from the 30's to the 60's.  I like traditional (swing, be-bop, cool, etc...) and Latin jazz the most.  While looking up the links to the tunes above, I ran across this awesome track from Cannonball Adderley.  "Jazz Samba"

Mine is probably the following song, from Devin Townsend's Ki album. The quality is a bit lost being on Youtube, but you get the idea.

And considering this comes from the man behind Strapping Young Lad just shows how diverse he is. My favourite musician by quite a long way.

@Castiel:This is among the best things I've ever heard. Thank you for introducing me to this, man; I'm going to have to spend plenty of quality time checking this out.

Plus, my slight contribution to this thread;

Fiona Apples 'Tidal' in its entirety. No drug can mellow me out as much!

I have a playlist dedicated to relaxing songs, but this is probably my favorite on that playlist.

The song is very depressing, and I find it to be a cathartic experience. Afterwards I feel more relaxed. I also have to disagree about the original. I'd listen to Nine Inch Nails over Johnny Cash any day of the week, but Cash's version feels much more emotional to me.

@Bigrhyno: fair enough. the cash version is pretty great (must have been a great honour for trent, too), i just think the original is the ultimate version. also the most depressing rofl.

You can't go wrong with either version.
