Obviously Open D is a very pretty tuning to start but doing so on a Nashville tuning strung guitar is just heavenly. You can mindlessly pluck amd strum and before you know it an hour or two have passed.
Huh I never heard of Nashville tuning before

Any good examples of songs that use this?
It’s on it’s own at the beginning of “Wild Horses” by the Stones
I know Led Zeppelin and Joni Mitchell have a few songs using Nashville tuning, but I tend to use my high strung guitar for ambient improvisation. Below is a good example.
I just remembered a great Nashville Tuning song. Free Fallin by Tom Petty
Interesting. When I want that kind of sound I normally break out the mandolin, so I have no real experience with high strung tunings, but I bet it sounds great in open D.
