Could be classical, modern, or from TV Shows, Movies, Video Games, or any form of media, but instrumental only.
I need a list of good music to help me cope with depression. Thanks
if these trees could talk is always where my mind goes when thinking instrumental only
Hans Zimmer. Add collabs with Lisa Gerrard and Klaus Badelt for Gladiator and Pirates of the Caribbean. Honestly, just go through the whole range of emotions and watch/listen to his Live in Prague. Start to finish it’s beyond wonderful. His soundtrack to Madagascar has no reason to slap as hard as it does.
Seconded! Big fan of the Pirates soundtracks and the Gladiator battle music is excellent. I’ll have to go dig up Madagascar’s soundtrack since I have no memory of it.
I don’t know how it’ll strike your mood, but the Beastie Boys did an instrumental album, called The Mix-up, and it’s very good.
Really like Chopin’s nocturnes.
Best calm-down music in the world. Love listening and playing them.
I don’t see Explosions in the Sky mentioned yet but they’re definitely worth a listen.
Great recommendation. We Lost the Sea - Departure Songs is one of my all time favourite post rock albums as well.
Lemmy really needs a post-rock community. That’s one of the reasons I can’t quit reddit. The one there is just excellent.
be the change you wanna see in the lemmy :)
I was just scrolling to see if anyone had mentioned them yet. If you hadn’t, I would have.
Got to see them live and it was really cool how chill the crowd was. Standing room and everyone just quietly swayed to the beautiful sound.
Mainly prog or math rock themed but I highly recommend the following:
- Covet
- Chon
- Polyphia
- Snarky Puppy
- Khruangbin (very little vocals)
- Domi & JD Beck
- And So I Watch You From Afar
- Animals as Leaders
- BADBADNOTGOOD
- Delicate Steve
- Rooftops
- Intervals
I’m not sure how to describe my instrumental music taste. Maybe engaging epic fantasy music?
My top 3 are:
- The Pirates of the Caribbean soundtracks
- How to Train Your Dragon soundtracks
- Anything by Antti Martikainen - he’s a composer who has a variety of albums in different music styles that range from orchestra to celtic to rock/metal. ‘The Sound of Courage’ is probably my favorite, followed by ‘Sonic Savior’
The Pirates of the Caribbean soundtracks
OMG how did I almost forget these existed. Thanks for reminding me.
adding it to the list of downloads
Glad to help!
I love the Celeste OST
I’m an fan of Locke, but I love fan remasters.
Are you opposed to music that uses vocal loops more like an instrument than as lyrics? If not FKJ is my go to depressed music, especially the concert from Bolivia.

Sorry if this isn’t what your looking for
Big fan of We Lost the Sea, especially the album Departure Songs.
I’m really surprised Russian Circles hasn’t been mentioned yet. They’re a “post-metal” band according to Wikipedia, whatever the fuck that is, but their first album 'Enter is amazing.
Back in 07’, I went to a record shop in town every few weeks and would pick up 2-3 CDs. In an attempt to find new shit nobody had heard of, before buying anything, I would check with the clerk to see if they had heard of the band. If they had, I went and put the CD back, if not, I’d take it home with me. ‘Enter’ came out just a few months before, and I was lucky enough to grab a copy. I wore that CD out before some assholes stole my CD wallet from my truck.
If you’re out there, CD wallet thief, I’ve never forgiven you, and wish you many pains.
Russian Circles is so good. I saw them live not long ago. Incredible show… I def recommend catching a live performance if you have the opportunity.
Take Five by Dave Brubeck. You can’t improve on a classic.
Spiritual State by Nujabes
Nujabes was a Japanese producer that met a very unfortunate and far too early death in a car accident. His friends finished this, his final album, and released it nearly two years later. It’s both soothing and inspirational to me, and one of my favorites to unwind and escape to.
Boards of Canada for some lofi nostalgia
Streets of Rage soundtrack, Sonic 1-3, donkey Kong country aquatic something is a killer
Commix - call to mind is some classic dnb, some lyrics but often looped and mixed to be more of just another instrument
Sasha - airdrawndagger, more ambient slower melodies
Tycho - dive
Anything by Philip Glass or John Williams
Cloudkicker - Beacons, progressive metal band instrumentation kinda like animals as leaders
2010 Toyota Corolla - 2003 Toyota Corolla is the new national anthem
Bohren & der club of gore for some slow noir jazz
