i've tried this with my adult kids whenever they stay too long... sadly, i havent found a genre yet that so far works.

my grandson overslept & missed his bus and asked me to run him to school... i played this to see if it would perk him up:

from Tangerine Tubman...

It hasn’t yet come down to that
for Harriet, this freedom-chase
hasn’t failed her yet. in fact, the
fabled Titanic will to disaster
itself surrender just 329 days
before Harriet gently succumbs.

Harriet—The Sovereign Tip
Of Freedom’s Iceburg.
